Is it really wealthy liberals or just Californians? Seattle is building like crazy to keep up with demand, as are many other Democrat run cities.
> If San Franciscans don't want their city to be 'verticalized' that's perfectly fine.

No it's not. It's ridiculous. Cities are meant to change, to grow, to adapt to conditions over time.

By refusing to build enough housing to match its booming economy, the cities in the bay area are seriously hurting people. They're seriously hurting economic opportunity. That is not okay.
> "That is just regression to the mean."

that would certainly be true if IQ were independently and identically distributed (iid), but the point here is that IQ is hereditable (not independent nor uniformly distributed) and so should show, in the long run, measurable durability in those differences across lineages. it's likely not reversion to the mean (or more to the point, the mechanism is not simply statistical in nature).
0-60 in 4.5 seconds is a really good time, especially in 2005. it only seems pitiful because street cars are ridiculously overpowered at the high end these days.

Of course that depends on what kinds of assets you serve and how many hits you get, but to provide a ballpark, I had a small personal site with few media assets on S3, and it consistently cost me US$0.12 per month. I think once it cost me 14 cents and I thought, "Wow, I must've been popular last month!"

I didn't run analytics so I can't say how many hits it got, but traffic was probably fairly average for a personal site.
If they do it anyway, you probably can't reasonably stop them short of quitting. Quitting likely would be best, but maybe you can't afford to right now.

If it comes up while talking with a client, I would just tell the truth about the specific part they are asking about and mention that there must be an error in the document they were given. That is what I've done when I found that recruiters added lies to my resume in the past. I don't think anyone ever held it against me. I take my own copies of my resume with me, but I'm not sure if that applies in your situation.
>Blame wealthy corporations. The formation of ultra large corporations who pay people in highly unequal ways

A corporation can only do one thing, and that is give you money. So I'm not sure it is that simple. Personally, I really wonder how much government welfare and other government sponsored "help" has lead to part of the wage issue. In the "good ol' days", a company had to be competitive in order to retain workers. Sure there was a more abundance of jobs, but that is not the only reason. Watch any documentary about Walmart to see what I mean. During a new employee's orientation on the first day of work, they go through the normal HR routines, but they are also shown all federal and state welfare programs their low wage also qualifies them for. If their employees did not qualify for these programs, they would most certainly have to have a more competitive wage. Basically they are paying half the employee's wage and the government is paying the other half. Not saying "welfare" is the problem here, but clearly it is being gamed.
The part about North Dakota having senators way above population share in the country: why is this bad?

Maybe they represent a different kind of life. Maybe the zones that encourage overpopulation shouldn't have monopoly on representation. Because on some issues they clearly did bad.

And I think we can stretch this logic to the entire article. The author is as guilty as "not in my back yard" as the rich people. Move you yard! Vote with you wallet. Go live, work and pay taxes where they respect your way of thinking.

Now you want to have your cake and eat it too. You talk against corporations and rich people but you consume their products and dream about making it big yourself. What other reason could you have for staying in mega cities?

It seems obvious to me that the proliferation of mobile devices is going to make people dumber.

People offload to these things tasks that were previously given to the brain.

Some of those tasks were mundane; yet, even mundane tasks exercise the brain better than no tasks.

The device substitutes for memory, both short term and long term. Why try to remember something? Snap an image, stupid! Lost? Doh, turn on GPS, crack open Maps. Why bother knowing anything by heart? The Wikipedia has your back; you can instantly access a detailed article featuring more than you'd ever want to know on almost any topic in any knowledge area. Skimming through text to find something? Just use search! Alphabetically searching through a paper dictionary? You're kidding, right? Paper magazine? Holy crap, why: you can't click on the table of contents. You have to read a number, then hold it in your head while finding a page that has the same number in the corner! Why would you do that to yourself?

Devices can easily be turned into tools to boost cognition; that's just not fun though, and not how most people use them. Some games are good for certain cognitive skills. There are applications for learning. Mobile devices are great for foreign language learning: you can train your vocabulary, or review audio-visual materials, anywhere.

In a tightly-scoped domain like "write code in Vue.js" it might be really cool. Looking forward to seeing how this evolves!

But just like self-driving cars, once you start expanding the scope, and only just a little bit, it doesn't look so cool anymore. I would love to see how far they can take this.

Programming in the purest sense is taking problems that real people have, expressed in their own words, and creating a logical symbolic construct that automates a sequence of interactions that pleases them. Human language is an extremely fuzzy and messy affair involving all sorts of things like body language that don't transfer to writing. Programming is not like that. These are not just different things. These are completely different domains of things.

Neat. Best of luck, guys!

A friend of mine calls BBT "nerd blackface", and I think it's a pretty snappy description.
Not sure complex systems researchers have gone that far into the practical issues yet, but Luis Bettencourt and Geoffrey West are the current leaders in urban growth/sustainability as far as I can tell as an interested outsider. Strong Towns [1] takes an antifragility approach in line with Nassim Nicholas Taleb and touches on complex systems thinking (without taking a theory/purely scientific stance). NNT occasionally posts thoughts on localism, though again usually quite abstract relative to the practical modeling question you pose.

The most practical related work I've seen has been on growth of major international cities and large villages/slums in third world countries. I can't recall any authors in particular. Some of my commercial work approaches what you're asking about but I build products more than perform research and have never worked with zoning data.

If anyone has a better answer I would love to hear it; this is my jam.

This article is just fluff, there is almost no details about the actual stats they are measuring, the only info is about Keita and they say this is stuff that scouters could not see, I doubt it. Effective passing and opening the field for opportunities is something almost every soccer fan learn to identify easily. It's not without reason everybody adored Paul Scholes even though he was not such a big star like some of his team mates.

At the end of the day it is all about money to buy good players and then a coach who know how to integrate the team, even too much tactics is not necessary when you got really good players. The intuition and skill component is much more important in soccer, the muscle memory and the vision, it's like being a quarterback, but without a play book combined with a basketball player dribbling skills and a safety ability to read where the ball is going to go to. All that in a continues game that doesn't stop. You can measure some of this stuff but the combination is too elusive. That's why people look at "aesthetics", in some way soccer is like art, when you see everything falling into place in a player you just know it, the same way you can identify something beautiful without measuring proportions and colours.

I agree. It is very easy to learn and inspect. Sometimes I just look at function definition and it is immediately clear. This is so far the easiest to read language I've seen. I don't think generics has to be a problem if their use is very limited. I would like to see generics to work like code generators, something like using m4 to generate the similar type, sharing common methods but having a different core type in their implementation. It would be nightmware to have full C++like generics or even preprocessor macros.
I believe that is only for private repos.

I think a lot of these kinds of problems arise because people generally do not learn how to relax muscles and selectively engage only those necessary for the movements they make. The human body has more degrees of freedom than it needs to accomplish the tasks of daily living - you can, for example, awkwardly walk with everything below the hip locked in place (it looks like a penguin waddle). If you can't do things one way, you can often contort yourself to do them another.

How does this cause muscular weaknesses and imbalances? If a strong muscle is pretty much always tensed up, you plan out motor sequences that avoid using the opposing one. This muscle will naturally wind up becoming weak, but that's not really the fundamental problem. It's more that you use too much of the wrong muscles to do things.

The process for learning these skills is not particularly well documented in my experience. I think this sort of thing is the core idea behind both Alexander Technique and Feldenkrais Method, but I haven't read/experienced them in depth and aren't certain about it. Both of these are mostly transmitted through (sometimes literally) hands-on tutoring. I personally picked this up through getting into Blues idiom dancing, and probably got some of the previously mentioned stuff second or third-hand. "Progressive Muscle Relaxation" is also probably relevant?

Absurd. Land is fixed, you can't just go generate more of it. And by not allowing more people to live where a booming economy is, they're hurting people, they're hurting economic opportunity, and they're hurting the environment. That is not okay.

The winners here are selfish people, largely landowners who benefit from the housing prices being so high. The losers are the rest of us.

> Corpses that aren’t embalmed or cremated are hotbeds for disease

You're really going to have to provide a citation for that.

On our way to choosing a natural eco-friendly burial, we looked at quite a few locations. There was one common feature - none allowed embalming. Nor is there any legal requirement for embalming, and very few (regular) burial grounds require it. It's a convenience for undertakers (and a nice way to bump the price implying it's an expected procedure).

It seems very unlikely that would be the case if your assertion were true.

Not only that there is no downside for banks but they actually profit much more from money laundering than from most legitimate transactions (relative not necessarily absolute) because of how layering works and the sheer amount of transactions and entities which are involved in the process.

The only people who get hurt are the patsies whether low to mid tier bank employees who are left hanging in large case or the victims of the laundering process which can be tricked into participating in the process through deception e.g. P2P loan schemes and transfer schemes or those who are employed by shell entities used in layering.

If you are getting flagged for money laundering you are utterly fucked.

Webflow: CSS Grid, Release 2.0
Seattle is doing a much better job than SF, but they're also still doing a terrible job. Most of the residential land is still zoned for super low density housing, even though it's a major city. It's absurd, but people accept it because it's one of those American absurdities, like people dying because they couldn't afford health coverage.

Single family home-only zoning is economically segregationist, and should not exist. It's fine if people want to own a single family home themselves, but wrong to keep the poor and working class out of their neighborhood by making that type of home mandatory.

I can see it, in the beginning I may have made that mistake more often for a while, but I don't think I've made this mistake in years. The difference is absolutely ingrained, just like I wouldn't mistake plus for minus. Perhaps it's different for people who read a lot of math.

I would agree that having equals-assignments as valid expressions is bad, I just don't think it's such a big deal. If you are using such a language, you should be using a linter anyway.

Using := would be very annoying for me, even though I can see the argument and would favor it in theory.
The western cultural expectation of spending a lot of money on embalming, then dressing the dead in fancy expensive clothing and putting them in a $5000 ornate wood coffin which will immediately go into the ground to rot is perverse. It has created economic incentives on the part of funeral services corporations to extract as much money from a grieving family as possible.

> but RAM takes the same time to access any part

This is provably false for common DDR4 RAM! Linear access to RAM is significantly faster, maybe 2x to 3x faster than random access in practice... maybe 10x faster in a theoretical micro-benchmark.

This is partially due to pre-fetchers: modern CPUs will detect that you're accessing memory linearly, and then it will "prefetch" the data to the cache before your code even reads a location.

Another aspect: any "Open Row" of RAM (roughly 1024-bytes worth) is accessed through a "Column Read", which is 2x faster than a "Row Read + Column Read", and maybe 3x faster than a "Precharge + Row Read + Column Read" (this last case is how random-access works).

So a read to an already-open row is 2x to 3x faster at the DDR4 protocol level. The prefetcher increases gains to roughly 10x faster in special cases (but the prefetcher is "arguably cheating", even if it is quite reliable in sequential cases).

Just using round numbers, but... yeah... random access should be between 2x to 3x slower if you test it. Its very simple to test too: just rand() across a big 2GB array that you malloc() and you'll see that the rand() traversal is SIGNIFICANTLY slower than an iterative traversal.

------------

If you can "cheat" your algorithm to traverse memory sequentially, you'll find absolutely crazy gains. Bonus points: a linear / sequential algorithm can often be converted into SIMD-style code (possibly by the autovectorizer of the compiler).

Sequential-access of RAM is one of those surprising micro-optimizations on modern computers. 1000% faster memory reads in some cases, I'm serious!

-----------

The L1 cache seems fully random to me in my tests. But the hardware prefetcher works even on L2 and L3 cache, so I'd expect sequential gains even if your data fits inside of L2 or L3.

Oh, and don't get me started on the TLB. If you're on Windows or Linux (which use virtual memory, not physical memory), all pointer-dereferences goes through the Translation-Lookaside Buffer. If you have 4GB to 8GB of data on 4kB pages... random access would destroy your TLB and you'll suffer dramatic slowdowns as the OS will "pagewalk" the virtual memory directory on every dereference.

Yeah... memory optimization favors sequential access in a huge variety of situations.
It normalized an easy-to-digest parody of nerd culture, perhaps.

Isn’t this true of almost all subcultures that get co-opted? This sort of thing reminds me of IFLScience. No one ever loved science. Certain parts of it just became popular.
VVM is column-oriented, which is how pretty much every Dataframe implementation works. Each column is a vector of whatever the user's type represents; Int64 in Empirical is i64 in VVM and int64_t in C++.

VVM has its own statically typed assembly language. You can see examples of it in the regression tests; here's one that sorts a table:

https://github.com/empirical-soft/empirical-lang/blob/master...

Since it's a virtual machine, VVM is pretty low level and really only meant as a compilation target. While it does some of the heavy lifting to match keys or determine the order of indices in a vector, Empirical is needed to coordinate the moving pieces.

Empirical takes a very different approach from Julia. Empirical is statically typed (not "gradually" typed), is focused around Dataframes, and compiles to a VM that is then interpreted.

As I mention elsewhere, I haven't done much on the performance side of things. I eventually want SIMD and JIT, but my priority for now is getting the Empirical language right.
It's not a bug it's a feature: the bank rakes in money and no one is the wiser.
