> Inventions and new technologies increases wealth

Increases wealth for a few. Studies have shown that technology is not actually making us more productive in the past 10+ years.

Who says we need to keep growing? We have enough mouths to feed on this planet already.

> 'Redistribution' is inherently unfair

There is no such thing as “inherently” fair or unfair. Did anyone “earn” a wealthy upbringing? Did anyone “earn” their genetic advantages? Outcomes are a result of one’s nature and nurture, neither of which are under one’s control. Anything you have is a gift from the universe, and you will either share your gifts or not.

“Only” would imply that everyone with capital has the same opinion as you, but it doesn’t sound like you understand how people with capital actually think.

Sort of. He definitely talks about the fact that it is undefined behaviour to create a misaligned pointer:

> Strictly speaking, the function f invokes Undefined Behavior when it computes [the misaligned pointer]

But he thinks it is still a problem with GCC, in that GCC should not be allowed to take advantage of this particular UB. He explains his view much better in the bug report:

> GCC assumes that pointers must be aligned as part of its optimizations, even if the ISA does not force it (for instance, x86-64 without the vector instructions). The present feature wish as for an option to make it not make this assumption.

> Since the late 1990s, GCC has been adding optimizations based on undefined behavior, and “breaking” existing C programs that used to “work” by relying on the assumption that since they were compiled for architecture X, they would be fine. The reasonable developers have been kept happy by giving them options to preserve the old behavior. These options are -fno-strict-aliasing, -fwrapv, ... and I think there should be another one.

Your "rebuttals" are a prime example of normalcy bias.

Not surprising though, pretty much everyone born in the past 60 years has become accustomed to a ridiculous "normal" that has been built on a fossil fuel house of cards.

What have we accomplished in this time? We know basically what we knew a month ago, we have no vaccine or treatment, and we know very well that the old and compromised are at much higher risk than the young. We also know that every passing day gives those with capital to withstand this more leverage within the society as more businesses go under and more people are thrown to the dole. This we can be certain of, especially in the US, where it seems to be repugnant to provide serious assistance to the poor. Maybe you are one of those with great wealth, but the rest of us would be happy to put grandma in an empty house somewhere and get back to work, before there is no work to be had. I personally feel this way and am happy to take my chances with the virus rather than the "goodwill" of the rich. I suspect mine is rapidly becoming a majority opinion as savings dwindle and businesses go under.

This argument is it, but it says something different than you realize. The bigger problem is that as cities become less financially and culturally relevant/desirable their revenues decline at faster clip than their investment and spending. Its not infrastructure or anything in particular it's just a problem of congruency.

You also have to account for federal funding. NYC in particular depends on it for infrastructure maintenance, and important maintenance goes neglected without that funding (cf. Hudson Gateway).

> Covid-19 would be in the population and will come back every year as a seasonal respiratory illness, killing off more people every year until we get a vaccine.

Do you have any evidence to support that it would keep coming back? As far as I know there's only very small anecdotal evidence of people getting reinfected and we simply have no way of knowing yet whether the average person's immunity will last weeks, months or years.

2-3 most fundamental
parallel algorithms

Would you be able to list them? I'm asking because I do develop programming languages for parallel hardware. It would be very useful for me to look at your examples and apply them to my PL design ideas.

An alternative way I might be rendering my question could be: what primitives do you recommend a language should provide that's currently missing in the languages you evaluate?
But you're talking about Seattle, one of the largest cities in the USA. It's experiencing growth.

Strongtowns isn't worried (as much) about large metro areas. His "shtick" is that the rest of the country, where populations are shrinking or stagnating, can't continue to run ponzi-like growth plans anymore that presume the population will continue to increase. They're not going to.

Go find yourself a town of 10,000 people that has a massively over-budge roads and water department. You won't have to look far- just leave the big cities, driving in any direction for an hour or two. Those same towns have low incomes, generally, meaning your "only $700/year" is enough to bankrupt people.

In short: I think you're living in a bubble and haven't ventured outside of it very far in a while.
About 30 years ago, I was porting an Ethernet driver to the MC88K, which also didn't allow misaligned accesses. Guess what happens when you fill a page-aligned buffer with an Ethernet packet, go past the 14-byte Ethernet header, and try to read the first 4-byte value in the IP header as a single word? You guessed it: SIGBUS. Every time. The same problem existed many other places, so I had to go find all of them. Eventually I implemented an exception handler that would emulate the access, and also log an error message. For months afterward, this turned up ever more obscure cases until there seemed to be none left.

Coming next: how modern programmers can't imagine a different word size or byte order. After that: different memory-ordering models. That one's really fun.
What's the objective definition of unfair?
Sampling uncertainties aside, this is super sensitive to mis-estimating the false positive rate. Which they seem fairly likely to have done, using an estimated test specificity of 100% (with error bars) in one branch of their analysis after getting 30/30 negatives against pre-COVID serum samples. Too small a sample to get that confident in an atypically high specificity, especially if that collection of samples was disproportionately low antibody (e.g. summer blood rather than post cold/flu season blood).

That's to my mind the most consequential misestimation of the test characteristics, but Balaji Srinivasan details more:

You haven’t seen Seattle, have you? 75% of total area of the city is zoned for single family houses. Sure, it might not literally be “suburban”, but the development pattern is just the same.

Of course, the same thing is true in the actual suburbs. Consider Lynnwood, a town of 35 000. It’s annual revenues are around $300M, and road maintenance is around $6-8M. It spends around 7 times as much on its police force as it does on roads. When does it go bankrupt?
I’ve been helping family get set up with Zoom etc via remote desktop (recommend Chrome Remote Desktop, easy enough to set up). Watching them do things makes me realise how absolutely unintuitive computers have become.

Click to download something. Where is the thing gone to? They don’t know that the little icon in the top right with the down arrow means “downloads” and they don’t see that it’s just gone blue. One click or double click? I don’t even know any more.
You have the causality mixed up. Housing isn't inherently expensive in cities. Building housing costs about the same everywhere, but land is expensive because of artificial scarcity. It's amazing how much America has and yet there are only a small handful of places where you can walk to a grocery store, and the privilege will cost you $2,500 per month. Every single state could easily support walkable cities (Europe manages), but they don't because of a pathological pattern of development pioneered after WWII.

I don't know how to help people who live in sparse suburbs. Not everyone needs to live in Manhattan, but exurban sprawl is alienating (and unsustainable to boot). It just doesn't build community.

This is a lesson that consistently gets lost in the salivation over the latest SPA framework sexiness.
The whole economy as it stands is a clever puzzle of guessing a half rigged race to the bottom (or the top) game. Now we have the computational and technological resources to track almost anything down to the single item, we should use this power to assure an even and fair distribution of goods and resources and nothing much more. Work to generate income is a destructive and obsolete concept; money as a construct has nearly finished its useful lifespan together with the egotistical concept of accumulation of wealth, a thought that should cease to exist for the greater good of everyone, sweat and pride should be taken for the achievement, not for the reward, but this is something very hard to swallow in certain circles that achieve nothing and produce mostly unfairness.
WHO officials say it's unclear whether recovered coronavirus patients are immune to second infection

"A preliminary study of patients in Shanghai found that some patients had 'no detectable antibody response' while others had a very high response, said Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, WHO's lead scientist on Covid-19. Whether the patients who had a strong antibody response were immune to a second infection is 'a separate question,' she added."
>School was an education in contempt. I remain convinced that the majority of people are idiots, with the equivalent of a flickering strip lamp for a mind, and nothing I see in the world around me dispels that thought.

And here is the rub. You should not hold contempt for people you perceive as less intelligent than you. Your value system places intelligence above all else, and conveniently that puts you nicely at the top. But, for example, have you ever spent meaningful time around people nicer than you? It's a great way to learn humility. Almost everyone has something to teach you, if you let them - the scale of human experience is wider than will fit into a single life.

I think that many intelligent people note that people instinctively dislike them, and rationalize it away as "threatened by my superiority". But in fact I believe it's far more often the case that intelligent people are just off-puttingly arrogant. They smell your contempt, better than you probably realize.

Be humble. Be nice. And magically you will enjoy spending time with people, and vice versa.

Whatever both buyer and seller agree on. I think in general buyers can agree that, by the nature of software and the existence of the internet, if people share their bought software like they would any other object, then the seller risks not being able to make any profit at all. Since sharing software is copying software, there's no equivalent of "returning" what was borrowed. It's a compromise most buyers can understand.

However, charging per machine of the same user seems to cross the line, no? Sellers are pushing, and I think it's valid here for buyers to push back.

>Icon Themes can change icon metaphors, leading to interfaces with icons that don’t express what the developer intended.

Icons were never sufficient metaphors to start with which is why we have text labels.

>Changing an app’s icon denies the developer the possibility to control their brand.

What does this even actually mean.

>User Help and Documentation are similarly useless if UI elements on your system are different from the ones described in the documentation.

This is only true if the user is completing an action that is solely based on clicking an icon with no text which we have already established is bad.

>The problem we’re facing is the expectation that apps can be arbitrarily restyled without manual work, which is and has always been an illusion.

Why has this worked generally fine in lots of ecosystems including gnome?

>If you like to tinker with your own system, that’s fine with us.

Earlier discussion seemed to suggest that lots of gnome developers were in fact not fine with this because it hurt gnomes "brand identity"

Opposite the "never-ending growth" crowd is the "everything is zero-sum" crowd. There are plenty of ways to be wrong about the economy.
Yeah, I meant `slow_function_no_side_effects(x)`. My point is that there's a huge difference between saying that a compiler need not treat a loop as sequenced with regard to outside code if none of the operations therein are likewise sequenced, versus saying that if a loop without side effects fails to terminate, compiler writers should regard all imaginable actions the program could perform as equally acceptable.

In a broader sense, I think the problem is that the authors of the Standard have latched onto the idea that optimizations must not be observable unless a program invokes Undefined Behavior, and consequently any action that would make the effects of an optimization visible must be characterized as UB.

I think it would be far more useful to recognize that optimizations may, on an opt-in or opt-out basis, be allowed to do various things whose effects would be observable, and correct programs that would allow such optimizations must work correctly for any possible combination of effects. Consider the function:

struct blob { uint16_t a[100]; } x,y,z;

void test1(int *dat, int n)
{
struct blob temp;
for (int i=0; i<n; i++)
temp.a[i] = i;
x=temp;
y=temp;

}
void test2(void)
{
int indices[] = {1,0};
test1(indices, 2);
z=x;
}

Should the behavior of test2() be defined despite the fact that `temp` is not fully written before it is copied to `x` and `y`? What if anything should be guaranteed about the values of `x.a[2..99]`, `y.a[2..99]`, and `z.a[2..99]`?

While I would allow programmer to include directives mandating more precise behavior or allowing less precise behavior, I think the most useful set of behavioral guarantees would allow those elements of `x` and `y` to hold arbitrarily different values, but that `x` and `z` would match. My rationale would be that a programmer who sees `x` and `y` assigned from `temp` would be able to see where `temp` was created, and would be able to see that some parts of it might not have been written. If the programmer cared about ensuring that the parts of `x` and `y` corresponding to the unwritten parts matched, there would be many ways of doing that. If the programmer fails to do any of those things, it's likely because the programmer doesn't care about those values.

The programmer of function `test2()`, however, would generally have no way of knowing whether any part of `x` might hold something that won't behave as some possibly-meaningless number. Further, there's no practical way that the author of `test2` could ensure anything about the parts of `x` corresponding to parts of `temp` that don't be written. Thus, a compiler should not make any assumptions about whether a programmer cares about whether `z.a[2..99]` match `x.a[2..99]`.

A compiler's decision to optimize out assignments to `x[2..99]` and `y[2..99]` may be observable, but if code would not, in fact, care about whether `x[2..99]` and `y[2..99]` match, the fact that the optimization may cause the arrays to hold different Unspecified values should not affect any other aspect of program execution.

Thats from patients, not the general population so its completely irrelevant in this thread.
Correct. If you could look at one city budget and derive from that budget what it costs to sufficiently maintain infrastructure, then you would never see a bridge collapse, or a water main break, or a pension fund crisis. Look around at how often those things happen.

That someone would look at a city budget, which is a primarily political document, and believe that document reflects actual costs to sufficiently maintain anything, is simply naive.

> So to be clear, the existing Firefox on Android which has broad extension support is going to be replaced with a version with less extension support?

Probably not. By the time the switch for release (non-nightly/beta) Firefox comes, I expect all the currently supported extensions will still be supported.

In the long-run, since the new architecture will be generally easier to develop, I hope that some of the WebExtension APIs supported on Desktop, but currently not on Android (on Fennec), will also become available on Android (on Fenix).
Why is it that these “economic development” non-profits and city planning think tanks all sing a similar tune and have no money? Why don’t developers and land (home) owners align with the (supposed) best thinking in city planning? Why aren’t the cities planning themselves like these outsiders want?

It seems to me if you really want to design a city, I mean really care you’d be better off becoming a real estate investor or developer and then building things how you think they should be built.

The Strong Cities folks and the like don’t seem to have good answers for how you actually implement their ideas without wealth destruction and dislocation of communities that have built up in ways that don’t meet the standards of urban planning high ideals.

The Haussmannisation of Paris 2.0 is not going to happen in a US city full of middle class land owners.
