> Is "just" changing zoning actually enough? Is there a case study?

Changing zoning and eliminating minimum parking requirements, height limitations and setbacks is a good start.

Case studies? Towns in the US before zoning, and much of modern Europe?

Politically... it's a much tougher problem. People are used to their 'burbs and feel they have a right to tell other people what to do with their own land.

Signing up for organizations like the various YIMBY groups, Strong Towns, and so on is probably a good first step.

If you don't have a local YIMBY group - make one!
I'm not British, I'm Canadian, and my mom was a breeder of Pekingese. She never made money at it, she simply loved the breed. I have known many Canadian vets, and have been around dogs my whole life. So I can speak to this issue with a degree of informed opinion that is higher than some others.

All of these concerns about brachys breeds has been known for centuries - yes, literally hundreds of years. Pugs and Pekes are very old breeds, are cherished by most owners I know, and in fact used to only be owned by wealthy families. But now that they are popular everywhere, the issue of these breeds being owned by people who are not fully aware of their limitations is an important discussion.

I can see veterinarians being concerned about general trends of a populace not giving due care (concerned only about the fact that they're "cute"), but to say that these breeds are doomed to suffer their entire life in the hands of a responsible owner is a point of view I believe to be incorrect.

Anything that can help the well being of canines I'm in favor of. Dogs truly are man's best friend. I'm even willing to endure some scorn and tolerate the occasional sensational article, because I don't think just anyone ought to own a dog. My pugs Bailey and Maya are not just pets, they're family to us.

But to accuse me of being cruel because I want these breeds to continue as they have for centuries? No. I don't buy it. You and the British vet society have not convinced me. Go scorn others who breed dogs to fight to the death or those that eat them.

I feel no guilt or shame whatsoever. I love pugs, and I hope to have many more in my life, maybe even be a breeder myself someday.

I think the GP was serious.

I totally agree with you. It took years for South Beach / Ballpark in SF to become anything that remotely resembles a neighborhood. I remember considering it, briefly in 2008, but my gf decided it wasn't safe enough for her. I didn't like the lack of city amenities.

There is more now, but that's been driven by nightlife chasing after post-work startup people, presumably needing to find somewhere to drink after a rough day :-)
This seems like a fairly terrible idea. For reliability you normally want to get events off devices as quickly as possible.

What about instead having a two-step event tracking protocol where the device pings a server with a list of event/properties that it is tracking and the server responds back with a whitelist of what it wants to see? This would allow collecting huge amounts of data on the edge devices while only sending what the servers want at that time.

Hell, the white list could even be CDN served over HTTP.
It helps that they chose an AOT model, with languages that support value types.

Also that even the bitcode model is compiled at the store, instead of frying eggs on the device.

Doing real-time audio applications on Android is a pain, from the presentations I have watched, even with the NDK.
Not really. The price of building the house or building is a fraction of the cost of the land, in high demand areas.

It is land and zoning that makes things expensive.

Tear a building down and replace it multiple times, it doesn't matter.

Money's not the problem. In SF there's tons of developers who would jump at the chance to tear down some ugly old faux-victorians to put up a highrise. It's the social cost (zoning, community boards, parking/transit regulations) that are preventative.
There's a nice article from The Economist about the same book:

Massinha de Play doh feita com Canetinha
Everything, including art, follows supply and demand. Value is the point where they meet. Salaries of social works and EMTs are where the supply of those positions meet the need for those positions in any certain area.

Art has a defined supply and demand, where the supply is high and demand is low (probably due to the fact you can buy copies of famous masterpieces for very cheap).
Because you currently ship systems with firewall that is unable to filter outbound traffic per application. DnsCache bypasses filtering by effectively providing tunnel between localhost and external network interface. Maybe you know of a way to selectively limit access to DnsCache per application? effectively whitelist a couple and block the rest?

Ordinary person argument is flawed. So called ordinary person doesnt even know what a network card is.

If you double the cores, you also double the TDP. They can only do that where the application permits, such as servers.
Basketball (41 home games + playoffs) and baseball (81 + playoffs) are much better attractors than football (8 games + playoffs). Football stadiums are also much larger. The Staples Center in LA, Camden Yards in Baltimore, Wrigley in Chicago, and Fenway in Boston are all great in this regard.
Cool, now if there were Vim bindings, I could really use it for something fun (don't have the patience to use arrow keys + mouse). Even crude bindings covering the basic Vi command. Anyone know what are they using for the text editor? If it's something like CodeMirror, adding Vi bindings is pretty trivial.
I feel like the only person that quite liked the new header... Hm. My choices in life apparently suck.
The author may have been headed somewhere with that idea, but he didn't get there.
All the positive reaction to this makes me wonder if I'm reading the same article as the other commenters in here. Quite a few of the claims seem pretty baseless. For instance, what data supports the assertion that Angular dominates the Asian job market? Where has the React team made the claim that their framework is more testable than vue, and why does the author accept those claims? I would love to see some credible evidence in the mix...
+1 me too, I think people get too caught up in how things used to be.

> It's a pretty nice feature in the context of being able to make compatibility layers on other OS'ses in userspace which was the discussion here. Or would be if it was always used. Why doesn't it work for syscall resumption and cancellation?

For resumption, a signal that interrupts a resumable syscall points RIP to an explicit int 80 instruction in the vDSO. This behavior would be a bit unfriendly to emulate.

For cancellation, the only good implementation of cancellation that I'm aware of (musl's) relies on syscalls being an actual atomic instruction so that a signal handler can tell whether a syscall actually happened. __kernel_vsyscall is an opaque function and can't be used like this.

> Yes but why would I want to make a linux compatibility layer on linux?

For sandboxing? For experimentation? Or how about to make a compatibility layer emulating something else that runs on Linux?

To be fair, Round Rock is 20 miles away from downtown Austin. While growing up in Austin we didn't view Round Rock as a suburb, but as a completely separate city that happened to be fairly close by. It seems only normal that someone would want to work and live in the same city, and for that need not to be seen as a flaw in either one.

So is Tesla compensating its factory workers with stock options?

If you're working for a startup and they expect you to work long hours for pay below the industry standard and they don't give you stock or stock options, they don't get to play the "startup!" card.

We debate endlessly the risk/reward for stock options in a startup versus good pay and benefits at an established company, but if they aren't even giving you stock--
Perhaps "smart" is too un-nuanced by conflating the real performance of many types of intelligence areas (social, emotional, political, spatial, logical, etc.) into a singular narrow attribution based on brief interactions? (Also yet another example highlighting where language constrains thinking.) And therefore the overvaluing of maximizing possession of one strength at the detriment of avoiding complementary strengths in other areas? Effectively, a personality monoculture where greater personality diversity would likely have tangible benefits (leadership, sales, marketing, strategy, design, etc.)

So as someone who has been knee deep in Azure for around a year but who had previously used AWS for 2-3 years I would say: it depends. If you are looking at PaaS offerings, specifically around the application hosting side (not database) I would say Azure is an awesome fit. The idea of deployment slots in their Web Apps offering is really cool I think. I personally like the ARM templates for automation compared to something like AWS Cloud Formation. Of course if you are using a Microsoft stack the integration with Azure is going to be pretty tight. 3rd party products are bit hit or miss.

If you are looking to do all IaaS or some type of PaaS database outside of MSSQL I'd point you at AWS. I think all of the providers at the core level are probably pretty similar when it comes to IaaS VMs but AWS has a leg above when you look at the whole process. AWS has tons of tooling (both native and 3rd party) built around it, plus you can typically find answers for issues via Google, something I think that is less likely with Azure.

Some of the larger product companies employ contractors from those firms. I know quite a few people employed by TCS who work at Apple, and some of them plan to stay with TCS for 10 years or more. Those big companies are still taking advantage of these cheap visas even if they're not employing the people directly, and that definitely impacts wages in our field.

This article doesn't seem to make a strong case that a hierarchical tree is the best model for language (or motor control, or image recognition). Just because you can model something as a tree doesn't mean that's the most parsimonious or effective model. The relative lack of success thus far of symbolic parse tree based techniques in NLP compared to techniques grounded in other models should be a strong hint that trees are not the best map of the territory.

For god's sakes, just let property owners do what they want with their property (within limits of safety). If they want to keep it empty or a small 1 family house, let them, and don't let their neighbors or city government bully them into building larger. If they want to build (or sell to someone who will build) a large apartment building, let them do that too.

You'll gradually get more density and less traffic this way over time, assuming that's what people want (and if it's not, they'll get what they want instead)

The root of the problem is the impulse to be disgusted by your neighbor's choices, and wishing to harness violent force (government rules) to force your neighbor to conform to your wishes. Enough already.

I greatly respect your insights on the issues, especially when unpopular; you're one of the few whose comment history I directly read, and I was especially appreciative of your contributions in this thread [1].

I'm replying because your comments here are unusually unhelpful -- in contrast with all of your others -- in that you're assuming away certain scenarios or ignoring Alexander's points about them. To wind back to the original question, he is claiming that:

1) We are paying much more for healthcare/housing/education (HHE)

2) We are paying a much bigger fraction of income to HHE.

3) HHE is better ... but not by an amount big enough to justify the additional cost.

4) HHE workers don't make any more than they used to.

Which combination of those do you think is physically impossible?

Here's a summary for why smart people are "cursed":

If you are two or 3 standard deviations about the mean, you'll quickly realize society is optimized and caters to the average intelligence. You'll find it very boring and frustrating having to deal with rules and decisions that do not make sense. You must continually push yourself to stay entertained and meet like-minded people otherwise you'll get very depressed that everything is meaningless.

From a recent Fresh Air interview with Trevor Noah. Earlier on he explains with a more personal anecdote why simpler language matters. But is there such a thing as too simple? Is 8th grade language more effective than 4th grade language? Later on Trevor Noah says

You know, funny enough, one of the biggest moments of
realization was when Donald Trump won the election because
when I came into the show, I said, I think this guy can win.
This was when he first came down that escalator. He gave his
first speech.

And then I was like, wow, this guy's going to do well. And I
remember people laughed at me. People were like, oh, you
silly ignorant person who's just come to this world. You
clearly shouldn't be at "The Daily Show" 'cause you don't
know what you're talking about. And I was like, but I don't
know. He seems like he connects with people. I can relate to
him as a performer. I can see what tools he's using. He's
good at riffing. He's good at taking the crowd on a journey.
I can see what he's doing.

And people would say - and all throughout the race - and
there were times when, on the show, I would mention it. You
know, I mean, that's why I said Trump reminds me of an
African dictator. And that's where that came from because
everyone said to me, this guy is - he's just a fool. He's
just - he's a buffoon. I said, yeah, you can say that. But
I've seen this before. I have seen this before. I've seen
clowns that go on to take over their countries. I've seen
buffoons who end up ruling their worlds. And it came to
pass.

I have been in the same boat for my baking website. Used Buffer and didn't see that many results. Then I abandoned Buffer and came up with a strategy that worked for me.

I realize that twitter was a place where I could get a lot of conversions to the website, but not the greatest for engagement. So I created twitter bot using the Wordpress REST API [1] to just pump out links to my recipes. Instagram, on the other hand, is all hand written and takes me some time. Although instagram barely gets anyone too my website, it has been the best tool for me to build a community around. So much so that I am thinking of abandoning the website.

I can't figure out Facebook for the life of me...
