High rises generally aren't a good way at providing density. That's because the footprint of most skyscrapers needs to be a lot much larger then the tower itself. Otherwise, the skyscraper will sink into the ground, something that only gets worse when you have several skyscrapers close together.

NYC is one of the few places that can have a lot of super tall buildings really close to each other. That's because the bedrock is so shallow and the ground can take more weight. Los Angeles, by comparison, has a much deeper bedrock, which makes it difficult to build tall buildings very close together.

If you want to get a lot of housing, medium density is the way to go. Medium density is cheaper to build and maintain, can be built in more locations, and is more pleasant to live in.
Landlords (look at the word!) are not elected. Building more loosens their grip, and yes it’s counterproductive to go against that, but also land is de facto finite.

Today’s landlords are descended from a long line of landlords, lords, warlords, and eventually just assholes who said, “get off this piece of earth or I will murder you, it’s mine now.”

Of course this lineage is no longer exclusively hereditary, but it often is in practice and the economic externalities and ethical considerations are minimally different.
I dunno, Batman spans the gamut from "campy bang pows" to "lite morality plays" -- not quite to the extent of, say, Joker, but some of the Nolan Batmans were way more existential and dialogue/monologue-driven than the older Batmans.

Maybe a more similar distinction would be the X-Men/Wolverine movies vs Logan, where the latter is a more introspective take on the character, and so the story is relatively more important than the action sequences.
Interesting. Dev tools post always catch my attention. For me, your comment regarding `build-arg` is in the same bucket as the comment regarding the need for a `ls` command. Ultimately I predict that the requested feature set will eventually be equivalent to what is already in Bazel -- like `.bazelrc` for setting up build variations and environment variables, and `query` for figuring out what is going on with the project. If Bazel has been working on these features and issues for years, I'd expect the same here.

Earthly seems very useful to work around issues like cross-compiling. A simple example that I'd expect a lot of people to run into is running into libc/stdlibc++ differences with Alpine containers. That is easy to come across when doing something as simple as pulling in a Python pip dependency that wants to compile native C/C++ code. I find this extremely difficult to learn to do in Bazel.

However if you're in the league of complex cross-compiling, then you may already be on CMake and/or Bazel and have the dev resources to define the toolchains as needed.

I'm not a strong proponent of socialism, but this seems like an outrageously loaded response to a genuine question.
> What does it matter how the entrepreneur spends his money?

Lets take your scenario one step further. The entrepreneur now uses his newly gotten weatlh, buys up some neccessary infrastructure that everyone relies on (for sake of argument lets the food supply) and raises the price to 26ct, everyone in the society but him starves to death and no violence was used. At what point, if any, should a hypothetical state step in?
He desecrated graves and stole skulls from remains — including from fresh burials (it’s in the article). He also manually put arrowheads into some of these skulls to make it look like that was their cause of death.

And the items that would have been of archeological or anthropological significance weren’t documented or handled in such a way to as to make them useful from a historical point of view.

Let’s not glorify this.

If 91% had the vaccine and 94% of mumps cases come from the vaccinated, doesn't that indicate something is not working? Probably this is the same issue with reporting cases for Covid without any threshold for severity?
Incremental upzoning is what will get us there.

This. It's been relatively successful (in terms of units built) in Northern VA. All along the Metro rail through Arlington and Fairfax Counties, we've changed zoning to allow dense multi-use development. Courthouse, Clarendon, and Ballston in Arlington were heavily redeveloped in the 90s and 00s. And Reston and Herndon's Transit Oriented Development Zones have been underway for 5-10 years and will continue for another decade.

Definitely not a cure-all, but a step in the right direction. At least there's office, retail, dining, and residential all on the same plot, which beats the previous massive parking lots and mid-rise office space.

And what about when the EC2 instance is an M1 Mac with SSD?
"EC2 M1 Mac instances are powered by...The Mac mini, featuring M1 SoC with 8 CPU cores, 8 GPU cores, 16 GiB of memory"

Applications were also written in GEOS Object C (GOC), which was a C preprocessor that added object-oriented features to C (similar to Objective C or early C++).

This is an excellent example of violating implied trust. What is implied trust? I expect my software to do what I tell it to do, without any additional, unexpected behaviors, especially those that do not serve my interests.

Microsoft violated that trust. This means that they value their interests above my own. They are demonstrably untrustworthy. Again, btw.
The license to the ISA itself is free.

There's several vendors besides RISC-V offering cores for licensing. There's even some OSHW cores that can be freely used.

Even if we choose to ignore the technical prowess of being a true 5th generation RISC ISA built with hindsight no other ISA has, what's IMHO a big deal in RISC-V is the mere availability of this market of cores.

It poses a threat to ARM's business model, where ARM licenses cores and ISA, but nobody else than ARM can license cores to others.

I have no idea for Riscv specifically, but x86/amd64 have a lot of optional instructions (I'm mostly aware of vector stuff like SSE, AVX but I'm sure there are other stuff).

On the programming side, you can detect at runtime feature support and use specific code path accordingly, or decide at compile time that you require a specific CPU feature and then your binary will just not work on CPUs without the feature.
> spatial gestures to organize and manipulate your workspace

These are things that sounds cool on paper, but become impractical when you do them hundreds of times a day. For common tasks, users gravitate to the least amount of effort. It's why almost everyone knows `ctrl + s` instead of using the `file -> save` menu. Engineers in particular are prescient about their shortcuts (especially VIM users...)

Gestural interfaces will take off when they are the most efficient method for completing a task.
What is a well designed system, especially in nature? What values does nature maximize for? Nature is just a bunch of distributed systems that have chaotically learned to work "together" in vicious harmony. Nature's "design" is brutal, and is not compatible with the comforts we have grown to expect in our modern lives. If nature had its way we would mostly die around 50 years old of a cold.

I wonder why we don't hear about the real pedophiles though?

The Bidens are total pedophiles and democrats elected them.
Well obviously, the people that want low density housing. It's still the American dream to have a house with a yard and fence.

It's not a "hasty generalization."
Your argument is general, but these are very specific areas being served.

* RISC-V Vector instructions seem like a huge win for all forms of HPC. x86 is getting vector instructions & the wins have been immense. Rather than a wide range of specific SIMD instructions, vector instructions seem like a far more general & easier to scale up & down implementation strategy. Not everyone has to implement!

* RISC-V Hypervisor specifications seem required for modern computing, where VM's are commonplace. Have to have this specification. Not everyone has to implement!

* RISC-V Scalar Cryptography specifications providing accelorated cryptography seems like another have to have modern in data-centers.

Worth re-iterating what's been said already: extensions are just that: extensions. They're not required. I'm not sure what the current state is, of code detecting & use the accelerated implementation when available, using soft-fallbacks otherwise. For things like cryptography, usually it's a library, openssl or someone, where the library is the reference implementation, with special paths written in for using harware where available.

Well of course there's no way to prove it now. Could you have proved how revolutionary the internet would be in its early days? You have to be open minded and extrapolate from the principles of the new system and its interactions with society at large to _guess_ how impactful it may be. I believe the fundamental principles of crypto (open, permissionless, decentralized, global, neutral, etc.) make it highly likely to revolutionize finance.

This is generally referred to as NIMBYism. And yeah, it’s a problem, but particularly in California where property values have skyrocketed to the point homeowners can’t afford to give up their nest egg because then they’d have nowhere to live.

An informal introduction to topos theory
What is the end solution to this housing crisis? The solutions will all hurt existing homeowners or multi-homeowners and are not likely to be implemented. The duplex in a single family lot is not going to move the needle on this crisis much, as building 2 houses on a existing lot will require a teardown of the original structure, then a buildup of the new duplex, all very costly. It will run at least $500K+ and I don't see many middle class owners using this route, also construction workers are scarce in the state due to high housing costs.

What would truly fix things right away:

#1. Prohibit Companies/Entities/hedgefunds from buying houses and renting them, ala zillow, blackrock etc.

#2. Repeal CA prop. 13, all housing should be taxed at current market value. (exclusions for older retirees and the disabled)

#3. Homeowners that wish to own a second property should be taxed at a very high rate.

#4. Mandate real estate commissions to be halved, currently its 6%(3% buyer, 3% seller) it should be closer to 3% total, this would allow greater mobility and encourage more buying and selling of houses.

#5. Rezone unused commercial(3 years unused) to residential to allow for more units to be built.

None of these solutions above would change the makeup of a neighborhood by introducing high density housing which some owners don't want, and could easily be implemented by a few laws being crafted and passed. I bet 10-15% of the housing market would free up right away and prices would come down 20-30% within a year or two.

But the root of the problem is just the people who are intentionally moving to southern California due to the mild climate. They know how crowded and dry[lack of water](and also expensive) it is but move here anyways contributing to the congestion. They don't want to move to other areas even when there are jobs there, and this issue will always be there.

Thing is, as long as they're on the leash, they can only do their business within the reach of the leash...

But, you seem to have misunderstood the metaphor of the headline: This isn't about people going to the loo within the reach of some other leash -- it's about how the lack of public restrooms is the "leash", tying people to within reach of a restroom. With restrooms becoming ever fewer and farther between, these people can only move within ever shrinking circles.
I can tell you that when we were moving from SF to Seattle this past year, we were getting _crushed_ on any house that was sitting on an upzoned lot. Seattle's done a decent job of upzoning parts of neighborhoods around transit corridors, and we were looking at houses on those lots because I believe in the upside as you do. Well, so do others, and they have _cash_ to buy it - we did not!

We're now in a SFH in a mostly SFH neighborhood, but a block or so from an upzoned area that has townhouses and some apartments. The only issue that I have with this so far is that newer construction denser housing is not required to have parking for some reason, but people living in them do have cars. I'm hoping that larger projects start to require parking because transit here just isn't good enough to not have a car. I don't care if people park in front of my house or anything - we're all neighbors - but at some point we're going to run out of street parking. And a lot of people think that's a fake concern, and all I can say to that is, they've never visited Philadelphia.
A (pipe-)dream of mine is that parking structures will eventually be taken over by tiny homes...
That’s interesting because it doesn’t for me as if Safari 15.1, but Chrome certainly does as of version whatever is the latest (and I use Firefox as my default on this machine).

FYI, most of the big theater chains can provide subtitles in their theaters. There are two types of devices they'll give you... one is a personal two-line LED display that fits in your cupholder and sits around eye level, the other is a pair of electronic glasses that overlays them onto the picture. Both sync to a wireless signal that gets broadcast in the theater itself.

I can't watch movies without those anymore. You just have to go to guest services and ask for them; sometimes the frontline staff won't know they have them, but a manager almost always knows how to get one and set it up for you. It's free.
> Or is it just accepted that some binaries won't work on all devices?

Yes. Just like you cannot run Pentium code on a 386 because they added new extensions. Or how Scheme isn't really a programming language but more like a _family_ of very nearly compatible languagues. RISCV has multiple targets and so so they have very different needs from embedded automotive to desktop. But with a common core is easier to develop and share tooling.

This is not true. Many markets do have those features. They just don't make the news because there are never any newsworthy issues with them.
You can look at the phylogenetic tree here:

https://nextstrain.org/ncov/gisaid/global

with Delta being the large green and blue parts at the top, and Omicron being a few red dots a little up from the bottom. If you trace back, you'll see that its nearest relative is wildtype from the spring of 2020. That's pretty weird, and there are really only three ways I can think of that it could happen:

1. human manipulation in a lab using early wildtype samples. This seems unlikely, because what would be the point and how did they let it escape?

2. chronic infection in a single immunosuppressed patient. We've seen this before (see, for example, this: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2031364 ) and southern africa has a lot of immunosuppressed people thanks to HIV. Additionally, there are some genetic markers that suggest evolution in a human.

3. spillover of wildtype in spring 2020 to some animal, evolution in that population for about 17 months, then spillback last month into humans.

I'm with the article, in that I favor 3 even though there's some evidence for 2 just because i can't quite understand how the omicron patient might have gone all that time without infecting anybody else with a proto-omicron version of the virus (which would then spread and be picked up on that chart). It's possible, I guess, that omicron got increased transmissability in a mutation in the recent past, and it could have lived in the patient with bad transmissability for a long time previous. And since delta is so amazingly transmissable, any proto-omicron could have infected a couple of people and then died out undetected. But still.
No. I am saying if you create a mandate on date X, people will prepare for it before it comes into effect.

> We can only redevelop a block or two at a time, so the only choice is for 10+ story towers. Especially because land is so expensive in these cities.

That's not necessarily true: it's much easier to build a duplexes/triplexes than a high-rise. Companies that can build the former cannot necessarily build the latter. IIRC when Bloomberg downzoned many "missing middle" outer-borough neighborhoods and upzoned core areas to support high-rises in NYC, many small building companies couldn't transition and just folded.

> I'm curious if new residential buildings (non-luxury if that even exists) in Paris or Barcelona are only 5-6 stories high.

I'm curious to see actual data on this, but many (most? almost all?) European cities have zoning rules that prevent building much taller than that in residential areas. It's especially true near the city center, where the restriction may apply to all buildings. So my guess would be it's still pretty common to not build high-rises in European cities -- similar to many NYC neighborhoods outside Manhattan (that weren't downzoned by Bloomberg).
I suspect there was a language barrier here. For the whole world "apartments" means what the US refer as "condos".

> Overnight, their house is much more valuable because if they choose to, they can sell to a developer who can make MORE money by building more homes.

This only works due to scarcity. If everybody could do this, the values would stop increasing and could potentially drop.
Some people aren't solely motivated by the rise in their property. Evidence already suggests doing nothing increases it plenty.

On the other hand, some folks just don't like living in higher density neighborhoods. I can empathize with someone that bought a single family home decades ago, probably can't afford to buy a new one today even after selling it, and doesn't want to see their quiet neighborhood turn into a bustling urban environment.

As an example, my parents live in the suburbs of a midwestern city. It's almost entirely residential single family housing, with a downtown business district that sprung up along a rail line 100 years ago. The city has major highway access, but not close to the rail station.

There are plans to build a 400 unit apartment complex adjacent to the downtown area. Even with light rail to/from the major city, you still need a car to get around. Current residents are naturally livid that their quaint downtown they enjoy is going to change, and the streets around it that weren't designed to handle the daily commutes of hundreds of people are going to have far more traffic and road maintenance.

It has nothing to do with home prices, and everything to do with maintaining the community experiences that they bought into, sometimes decades ago.
