Real estate prices tend to be high. The mixed use development might have a few fancy restaurants, high-end boutiques, etc - but nothing to fill the daily needs of the residents. The local residents often have to drive to get to a normal grocer or mom & pop retail.

It is definitely good to exercise when attempting to lose weight, but I don't think the reason is not because it significantly changes the amount you breathe. If you exercise for 30 minutes you'll breathe about 4% more breaths that day.

That’s the beauty of working in finance, it’s all subjective. A janitor can’t fudge a dirty bathroom, a mechanic can’t fudge a broken car, a plumber can’t fudge cold water into hot water. But in finance, you can make whatever results you want come true for a long time. And if you have the government’s back who can print funds, that long time could be until the country blows up.
I'm all for more data-driven policy. However, I think it's tough for models like this to accurately gauge how people respond to actual policy changes.

Also, there's been a push for "clearer" tax policy with numbers people can remember and subconsciously feel good about. In my experience those optics would be difficult to replicate with a black box like this.

Actually, there is a solution against this. Just combine https://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0030.html (Merkle-tree-based hashing) with https://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0039.html (Feed-URL based updates), and in some settings also https://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0047.html (Specifically the padding files, so that flat files inside a torrent can also be efficiently shared in arbitrary combinations of non-partial files.).
I don't really have a problem with web apps doing incremental loading when it makes sense (Facebook, for example, or letting the user add a comment in situ), but many many sites would be better off just loading documents instead of moving to an application framework. Take for instance TechCrunch.com vs Wired.com, Wired is much easier to use because it acts like a website. Yes, it does full page refreshes instead of showing a full-page loading spinner, but it behaves more consistently and doesn't require the user to learn new UI paradigms.
I think it's more likely that "applications" will tend to be be compiled directly to WASM and served over the web that way.

And JavaScript has laid claim to that throne which was once primarily contested by enterprise Java and .Net.
But you don't need javascript frameworks to add a small amount of state changes without page reloads, it's very easy to do without using something like react.

The comparison is between server-side with a bit of js where required, and the proposed 'modern web' where js frameworks attempt to take over the entire experience server and client side so that they can remodel the world in their image.

Most websites simply don't need react and friends, even if they are more app-like than doc-based they still don't need it, and they certainly don't need to be a single page application (the best modern example of throwing out almost everything that is good about the web - urls, links, docs, stateless).

When we self moved last year, I double stacked my short kallax shelves along the front of the box truck, then load them up with moving boxes, then our tall ones in front of that, and load them up with boxes, then the rest of our furniture in front of that. It made the truck a lot more organized, and no boxes were crushed under something heavy.

Rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat
NYC is quite car-centric by international standards. Compare to London (or Paris, or lots of other places), which in response to COVID has:

* Used congestion pricing as a tool to reduce pollution/returning traffic/mode-shift to cars

* Shut off large areas of their city to cars

* Rapidly built pedestrian/bike networks to accommodate for non-car movement

While NYC has:

* Indefinitely postponed congestion pricing

* Defunded bike safety and public transit improvement initiatives

* Not built any cohesive bike or pedestrian systems to encourage non-car transport

Of course in pre-COVID times, NYC severely lagged in both pedestrian and cyclist infrastructure/investment, and famously has some of the most expensive public-transit construction costs in the world.

re: car-centric cities, agreed that somewhere like Nashville is not going to have these kinds of problems. However, a large swath of Americans live in public transit or carpool-reliant cities (NYC/SF/Seattle/DC/Chicago/Southern California, many large southern cities). Mode-shift to private transit would increase traffic 10-20+% in most of these places, which I think we can all agree is not ideal for pollution, gridlock, parking needs, public health, etc.
Right?

Are you thinking something like ShareDB? https://github.com/share/sharedb

As a person who is browsing the web, I do want server rendered pages, correct history of navigation, urls to match pages, a lack of refreshes, live collaboration with other users. What I dont want is a manual refresh to lose anything or bring me to a different page. And I want the site to work, and progressively fail if I have javascript off.

Most interactivity can still be server side. Look at google.com, as you type in a search query, and they return a static update with results matching what youve typed so far.
ImTui is really interesting, and I hope it gets adopted by other projects. My idea would be to implement something like `htop` or `mc` with this and make a cool cross-platform terminal UI app.

I find things like this interesting. There’s real depth here. That girl was the daughter of someone. Despite cultural differences and generational gaps, there was human chemistry and emotion there. Someone cared deeply about her to ensure she was preserved. Most likely to go into the next world as with Egyptian customs.

But they went further than that. They stored her favorite animals, and her sandals, likely to ensure she wasn’t alone. But there’s a level of depth and caring that goes into that. Also a level of torment.

There’s something uniquely human in that. Something that to me I find touching. I can’t quite place it. For me for a long time, I looked at mummies and Egyptian history from a bit of a removed view. In that I knew they were human, but I didn’t really realize they were /human/ like me. If that makes sense?

> There's pretty good evidence for logarithmic marginal utility of money

1) This is, at best, controversial. Measuring cardinal utility is an unsolved, perhaps unsolvable problem. The kinds of experiments that lead to these claims are things like "what more would you buy if you had $X" or "how much, out of 10, would your happiness increase if you had $X more". Needless to say these are full of problems with self reporting, perception, lack of skin in the game, etc.

The only utility-adjacent concept that can be tested rigorously is preference ordering in situations where the subject actually bears the costs and benefits of the choice. This makes most experiments you'd want to do very costly, and potentially unethical.

2) Even if we accept that everyone has a logarithmic curve describing their own utility for money, this doesn't mean you can make intersubjective comparisons. To give an analogy, it's a "units" problem. Bob's utility is measured in Bobutils, and Alice's utility is measured in Aliceutils. Even if Bobutils(dollars) and Aliceutils(dollars) are both logarithmic, this doesn't get you any closer to aggregating their utility or evaluating tradeoffs (can't add/subtract things with different units).

Edit: playing minor devil's advocate to myself on point 1, it's certainly true that there's good evidence of diminishing marginal utility of money (or of anything). I was specifically responding to the kinds of experiments that lead to the claim of a logarithmic form, which I consider to have many problems.
Jane Street has some blog posts talking about why they chose OCaml.

I'm very torn on this. I've used Rust to quickly prototype things that I think could be used I prod. It's fine. In some places it is better than what we had for C++, in most places it is very similar for experienced devs. I don't think Rust let me complete my code any quicker than if I had done it with standard C++ tooling.

The main issue I see with something other than C++ is compiler maintenance. gcc and clang generate very good code. There exists a good body of well optimized C++ for various use cases (various kinds of latency and throughput). It takes a lot of commitment to maintain and extend a compiler to keep it on par with gcc/clang and also still maintain a good stdlib for trading.

I think a huge benefit of owning your compiler in a functional language would be easier/better codegen, particularly the ability to sidestep some of the shittier hardware languages with a better DSL (since you already have some compiler and tooling expertise in-house). This matters at lot for HFT since at the most critical places, you want to use FPGAs or better.

> You said herd immunity involves a good fraction of the population dying which you don't know

It's well-known by now that even the low-risk population (<50 age group) still has a 0.x% risk of dying directly from covid. It's insane that people are still minimising this.

> Serious complications for the non-risk population is neither known nor expected.

1) it's "low-risk". "No-risk" is for the 0-20 age group, and they are not enough to provide herd immunity.

2) here is one known and documented complication for young people affected with covid.

As experienced with PHP developers in the dark ages, that never works. It will be a choice between easy and incorrect or difficult and right. The majority will never do it right for various reasons. And the web will loose in the eyes of the users.

I think there is a yang to that yin in that without folks from the burbs coming in, those city centers might not be what they are today after a while...

I wrote my own CSV code. That's only about 10 issues, and I understand them all, and they're easy to handle, and to test (unlike, say, threading issues, or OS bugs that don't happen on my computer).

That wasn't even close to being one of the more difficult parts of my program to write. I've had to do zero work to maintain it. I don't seem to have ever had any bugs filed against it. Are these supposed to be difficult? Sure, don't write your own encryption algorithm, and avoid touching threads if at all possible, but CSV?

Sure, I wish I could have used a library. Unfortunately, once you start adding requirements, the options start to vanish. It needs to be a C (or C-callable) library. It needs to accept input as Unicode strings (lines), not just files on disk, or bytes. It needs to return results line-at-a-time. It needs to have a compatible license. It needs to support the same package manager as I'm using (or be a trivial to include, like a single file). It needs to be reliable (essentially bug-free, or at the very least currently maintained). It needs to be fairly efficient. What library supports all these?

> Writing CSV code that works with files out there in the real world is a difficult task. The rabbit hole goes deep. Ruby CSV library is 2321 lines.

I love Ruby, but that file looks a little nuts to me right now. The block comment at the top of csv.rb is over 500 lines long. The Ruby module tries to do everything. Just "def open(filename, mode="r", options)" and its docstring are 100 lines long! This class includes methods for auto-detecting the encoding, and auto-detecting common date formats, and some kind of system "for building Unix-like filters for CSV data".

I don't put all of that into my CSV parser, because I want my code to be modular. I have features like data detectors and filters and open-file-by-filename in my program, too, but they're fully independent, not tied to any one file format. When I come up with a better way to detect dates in text, I don't want to tweak a 6-line regex in every file format I've written.
While backslash escaping is very common, double-quote (or double-special-anything) is fairly common as well. I use it all the time in SQL.
Eh—I had to do it recently. There was a file format that I was dealing with that was basically a combination of CSV for data and Yaml for headers (and some other edge case stuff) and the Python CSV reader couldn't handle some edge case that we needed handling, mostly around reporting back to the file provider where they messed up one thing or another in the file.

It didn't really take me that long. Lots of easy to write tests and the thing is processing a ton of data now for a well known stock exchange. Far easier than, say, the machine learning stuff I've written.
I think first of all people will want to go to work and make a living.

re: Oak Furniture Land and VAT/Sales Tax/cheaper UK prices.

The furniture is likely manufactured in the EU, thus there import tariffs and shipping to the UK are much smaller than the cost to import and ship to the single US location, likely being the reason the same chest of drawers is almost double in price.

I guess this goes back to the question of whether architecture can solve social problems.

I'd say it can, but not in a vacuum.

Great architecture ..., now that is something else...

Agreed. Top-notch architecture is equal parts art and engineering. Not only is it functional (in the most basic sense of "it's a building with a roof and a door"), but it's aesthetically pleasingly, makes a statement about the state of the world, and makes occupants feel good.
I assume unexpected input results in either an error (or exception, whatever your language calls it), a crash or a user complaint. I also assume it's unlikely for an input parser to introduce a security issue into your app if it's written in a safe language and your app has proper validation set up (i.e. don't trust input as soon as it passes the parser).
