agreed, asking for credentials is too much and providing them is really stupid for many reasons. I have to say though, these landlords are definitely doing more to ensure that their tenants can afford their rent than the banks were doing before the housing market crash.
This is one of those "practitioner skilled in the art" kind of things. We've had SQL and UML for ages that use and visualize parent-child relationships. Once you know them, this is an obvious application for making queries about the relationships. Given how ubiquitous trees of various kinds are, I doubt their specific implementation is particularly novel.
Just like a million or more of others, who have done the same, I have personally, singlehandedly used the same exact principles and techniques to construct in a dynamic manner, not only visual representations of parent/child relationships as visual trees, but created entire systems that relied on these concepts for both, reporting and control.
I am absolutely capable of displaying my work, results of my work, people using result of my work, my work used in production on daily basis. I built a retail management system back in 2009-2013 and it is in use today as well, where data was described as master product (a representation of what a product is), an actual product instance (sku), incoming product orders and incoming product order items, etc.etc.etc.etc.etc. it is large and complex enough to spend many hours to go over it.
In any case, to be able to see data from all sorts of different perspectives, to analyze it, to understand what must be ordered, what sells, what doesn't, to filter data, to report, to control it for purposes of ordering, changing prices, creating lists of discounts, everything that a retail chain needs to do to be able to survive in a retail chain market.
A master product can be labeled with a record called 'label'. A label can be typified, because we may want to create *dynamic* representations and views. So for example labels can be of type 'supplier' or of type 'brand' or of type 'subbrand', etc.
A filtering system was created that allowed *LEVELS* of filters to be arranged, creating *DYNAMIC* ordering of *NODES* within *TREES* of labels and then master products or product instances (sku) could be selected from the database in a way that corresponded to the tree representation of the labels.
So a tree of labels became a template, with levels of the nodes being grouped by label types and then the products were arranged based on this template and all of a sudden you could use this grouping to understand the flow of products and the flow of money, purchases (incoming orders), sales (receipts), numbers of receipts and of individual products bought or returned or lost or whatever.
On the webpage or in an excel file this data was represented in either table format (very very similar to the figures and pictures attached in this story) or in an actual *TREE* format, where one could drill down as deep as needed.
I kid you not, I would be perfectly happy to participate in any lawsuit against any patent office or a company to prevent any such patent from being issued. ANY FUCKING PROGRAMMER would figure this out if they are mildly awake or even slight less than creative, it is absolute nonsense that we even have to entertain a possibility that this stuff can be patented, this is bullshit. Search trees, sort trees, visual trees, whatever trees, they are obvious simple data constructs and must be left alone without assholes trying to make money on suing people for stuff that is as obvious as the air we all breath (together with these assholes, unfortunately).
Before 2009-2013 I had a variety of projects, where trees were used as well, I built silly things like XML file editors, fucking XML to describe logic that was then converted by a piece of code I built to generate java code from that XML. The XML was a fucking tree, I built an editor so that an insurance company rep could fill in the data within XML nodes to describe logic (don't ask me why, this was 2001-2002 or something).
Before that I had to work with data sets from AT&T that were loaded from mainframes in order to create normal parseable file sets that were sent to rebiller companies, with the records that were at some point represented as tree nodes in levels. That was 1997 I think. Fuck. Before that I wrote tools for myself to study languages, English and French, long ago, where sentences and words in different languages were structured as tree nodes, with multiple crossing tree structures corresponding to different grammar rules.
Fucking hell.
that is the point of having a family, you work and make sure your family is provided for, your children carry on once you are gone. That is why modern socialists hate inheritance as well
Most of the things people complain about involve third-party cookies of one sort or another. Very few people would object to most first-party cookies or the reasons they're used. After all, if you visit a site obviously they know everything you do there. So, my ideal rules:
it is what you want to say, not me obviously, stop lying.
There are literally millions of people doing nothing today, what you are advocating here has already happened, why aren't you happy anyway, is it because it's never enough? AFAIC everyone who can work should be taking care of himself/herself, government must not steal from one to subsidize another, especially in the system basically designed for complete corruption (and it is designed for complete corruption).
It is up to everyone individually to survive on this planet, if there are too many people unable to survive then it's a self correcting issue - they will not survive.
drone batteries have to be heated otherwise drones may not even take off, Ukrainian soldiers in the field use all sorts of ways to keep the batteries warm, for example chemical hand warmers are used for this.
I strive ICE vehicles and will keep buying them, ban or not, EV is not for me and since this is a ban that BMW is talking about, clearly this is not the choice of the people, not a market decision but an imposition by the currently elected officials, who can and will be replaced if they push such unpopular agenda.
the word BAN and the word market are incompatible.
This is news somehow that if you work for a company you make your salary or wage rather than dividends? If you want dividends, buy dividend paying stocks or start your own company.
Are you saying that people before didn't understand any of this? Peculiar.
I haven't seen much if any slow-down as I age, and I'm 60. What I have seen is that I spend more time thinking so I write less code to get the same result and need to do less debugging to get it working correctly. I also have a bigger library of code I can use without having to write it all from scratch so again I end up writing less code. This last is especially true for tests, and I already know the corner cases and odd cases out that many of my co-workers don't even realize need tested. But the correct measurement isn't "How much code do you write and how quickly?" but "How much time and effort does it take for you to get the functionality production-ready?". There I (and my managers) can see a clear difference between those who do it fast vs. right.
One would think, right? Yet there's a constant stream of "new" done-to-death games in the Play Store that exist solely to appear at the top of the listings (because they're newer) and attract clicks to the ads in them. The people who write those games absolutely would use AI to do it if it'd let them do it faster, and we'd see that in the number of new releases (those lists don't care about how substantial the software is). It'd also make it less boring to create Yet Another X Clone. So, as Mike asks, where is the uptick in the number of these titles?
You are really bad at this entire arguing thing, I run multiple companies, I have children, I travel extensively ( in the last 8 days I have been to Ukraine, Romania, Poland, Canada and the USA for example and this is just the start of this month, I traveled nearly every month since 2016). You don't know how old I am, you don't know a thing about me. I live this life here and now and given how many people I am actually responsible for I am certain that I care about many things. One of those things is freedom of the people who are alive today and are and should making decisions on their own behalf without any government telling them what they should or must do.
The problem with this survey is we can't trust developer estimates of how long it took them or how much time they saved. The METR report and Mike Judge's write-up show that quite clearly. Talk to me when Fastly includes actual timings of how long developers actually took to do the job with AI vs. without showing a statistically significant difference.
What this country needs is a dime that will buy a good five-cent bagel.
