NY doesn't sound bad at all, there is roughly 10M people, given random estimate of 2 people per apartment, 89k, would be barely 2%

Edit: plus in NY you have all those HoA payments, so you pay really high price for not renting the place out

For big cities I disagree, was it ever standard for single people to be able to afford 1 bedroom?

People were able to afford places, but being single for majority of adult life is semi-new trend. Especially in very dense cities.

>In New York, for example, starting salaries for FBI agents hover around $73,000. But a nonprofit group in the city reported people need to earn at least $100,000 to afford food, housing and transportation there.

Does this hold truth? I know it's expensive city, but 73k is also median salary here, do they want to say that more than half people here cannot afford basic needs? That doesn't sound right

Bro you cannot just call famine "smug", nobody here is honoring Churchill as well, so stop using whataboutisms, there is tons of cases of leaders that didn't kill milions of people with their policies

>For example, people hate on Stalin a lot, but his 5-year plans were so wildly productive and successful

you mean productive as in Holodomor?

How is building yachts for people who demand it more wasteful than producing perfumes, collectibles or nicer lamps? Who gets to decide what is waste as long as there is demand?

I think good conversation is lot about confidence of people involved. I had terrible conversations (or at least their attempts) where people threw at me questions so quickly I haven't had chance to plant some doorknobs.

Many of encounters where I had to resist their "and you?" questions, as I saw an opportunity to expand on what they were saying.

Which I find weird because then I am completely terrible at group conversations (as there is already taker & giver, so I just go to role of listener)

I had colleague that was 10x developer but 0/10 communicator, if he didn't receive separate first message with "Hi, how is it going?" without me waiting for his answer before requesting something, he wouldn't reply.

It was such a dead end for getting things done (he was productive on his things, but blocker for everybody else.

I had similar issue on Windows 10, so not sure if only 11 is affected. (After startup whole startbar was frozen and internet as well for 20-30 minutes). Reinstalling windows helped but only until all updates were installed.

No idea if the issue still persists, I switched to Qubes OS already.

Doesn't it depend on database size? at least I heard somewhere online that column based is not really worth implementing if your regular tables have less than 10M rows.

So for small DWH, I am just using PostgreSQL

It shows once again how knowing fundamentals is important at more advanced level. There is this overall motion "very wide tables are the future of DWH", but in reality depends on context and how your setup is built.

Very interesting insight.

Writing from Qubes right now. x230 with 16gb ram and it runs just fine. Still figuring some things out tho.

It's nicely described in book Tipping point from Malcolm Gladwell. Good choice for audiobook to add in playlist

No, creator keeps 86-83%, so ~85c from every dollar

>the real cut for a creator on Patreon is often a stark ~14-17% depending on the exact scenario.

edit: now I get it, seems like you are native speaker and me and author are not, I guess correct way should be "cut from a creator" instead?

Well, so far looks quite basic to me tbh. What I always look for as musts in every app is version control (git integration ideally) and option to extract everything in some common format. It's 2022 and I am too paranoid already that service will turn to paid one when you least expect it.

Also make sure that its possible to add pictures, videos in text and WISWYIG editor would be helpful. We chose docs tool 2 weeks ago and went for bookstack.
