DuckConference posted:product requirements say the time for the product to perform a certain action is x. thus far the latency has been 4x but that was without tuning. after all kinds of tuning and (brittle) optimizations, we've been able to hit a latency of 2x, and there is some hope of approaching 1.5x if everything goes well and some speculative stuff turns out to work. actually reaching a latency of x is probably impossible with the hardware and software architecture decisions that have been made thus far

Cold on a Cob posted:they're rare but small-time landlords that know what the gently caress they're doing understand the value of avoiding tenant churning Like suppose people move from lovely property manager complexes every 2 years and from good rentals every 10 years: even if the good rentals were 25% of the units they'd only look like 1/12 the market when you went out looking for places.

Sagebrush posted:That's good, but I expect it will just stop rising as fast for a while. Stuff here is never getting cheaper. 1) "Ghost house" inventory owned by foreign investors actually going onto the market (rental or owned) due to financial pressure overseas or a new vacancy tax 2) WFH (or one of many "the next Silicon Valley" in some other location) actually being a significant thing 3) Majority renter population finally winning politically across various localities and authorizing new housing 4) State law SB50 or similar cajoling more construction 5) Downturn in tech industry Would you really want to gamble 1000% of your income that none of these will happen over the next decade or two while you're betting on your house to go up up up?

Sagebrush posted:i like that you approached my post as an optimistic "it's still good, my house investment probably won't depreciate!" statement instead of the "everyone who can't afford a house now will still never be able to afford a house in the future" that it actually is. Also maybe prices will drop because interest rates will go up again. Unless we think they've topped at 0% forever (which, to be fair, was basically Japan for 3 decades). And maybe there'll be some sort of pandemic that kills enough people to free up significant housing inventory. Or maybe immigration and birth rates will decline.

If you walk your dog around the neighborhood/park here you won't see hardly anyone wearing masks, but everyone keeps distance from eachother (including walking around parked cars to avoid walking past you on the sidewalk) If you go to the grocery store or to pickup takeout, everyone has a mask I think this is a reasonable state of affairs. So I'm a bit confused when people say that they go outside and people aren't wearing masks, since I'm not sure which example applies more (and how dense the environment they're in is, like if it's even possible to avoid walking past people)

Cybernetic Vermin posted:i think milestones is too much to ask for, but what the government *should* manage to do is say "this part is going well", "this part needs work", "current worries are xyz", and so on, with some consistency day to day. obviously no one really knows the future here, and it'd be transparently stupid to pretend they knew. as such what is needed is clear indications that they are monitoring, analyzing, and understanding the situation day to day, with an eye towards a future society working a bit more like pre-covid society.

Stereotype posted:I disagree that the effect seems to be pretty small. Why do you think the effect is small? Places with high mask compliance have overall lower infection rates. Right now across the country the number of infections per day seems to be pretty constant for the past couple months, so R ~= 1 If masks were only 15% effective and we started using them, we'd have R ~= .85, leading to new infections halving every 2 months or so

I though there were pretty clearly labeled but yeah people would constantly get on the wrong ones and get confused when there was no button for their floor This way you can program it for throughput efficiency. Less instances of one person going to a single floor, as you can have the car that was already bound for there pick them up on the way.

Here's a great link, on an external blog, I believe by the very same poster from D&D: http://prestersperspective.blogspot.com/p/schizophrenia-randomly-capitalized-words.htmlPrester Jane posted:I wanted to try and explain specifically how my mental illness impacts my thinking and how you can see some of the results of that in my use of capitalized words. Have you ever read something written by an unmedicated schizophrenic and it is full of Randomly Capitalized Words that seem to be used in such as way as to Convey A Deeper Meaning that is important to the author but Indecipherable to the reader? This is an artifact of how schizophrenics think, and I am far from immune to it. What I have done is adapt myself to it. Let me explain.
