I'm moving into a "plex" in a southern city that has become heavily "plexed" over the last 15 years. There are two strategies basically: "plexing" or "tall and skinnying" (the latter is to make very slim houses that have very small easements between them, the advantage of which is that each lot is fully owned by an individual party).

It's got pros and cons. I think the big issue I observe here is that it doesn't help affordability in any noticeable way. Whenever the single family units are destroyed, they are typically the older / lower end variety first, which had previously been attractive as rentals for lower income people but now they have massive value as teardowns so they can be carved up. Those houses get replaced with high end new construction. So this results in increased real estate value and ultimately a concentration of amenities around these areas that are being "plexed." No affordable housing is built (since this is a southern US city, all low income housing is pushed away from the city core to the exurbs, with long car drive commutes).

Another con is that this town does not have public transportation, and their roads are ill suited for 2-3x the old density. This results in the dreaded "stroads" that have numerous stoplights, carry 5-6 lanes of traffic, and are lined by strip malls as the only connectors.

And finally, when a neighborhood gets "plexed," all the existing foliage is destroyed because it is in the way. So the newly plexed zones are barren with only small shrubs and decorative plants, no trees at all.

I think town home style developments make a lot of sense conceptually. They provide easier access than an apartment building and are much cheaper to build. The density improvements are real, although though not as large as an apartment. I just worry that the way it's being done is rather careless and with little thought for the future, at least in the southern US town I am staying in.
> People weren't even allowed to go to parks or hikes.

If this is true, it's some pretty impressive science denialism - it's pretty obvious that there's an extremely low chance of transmission outdoors (assuming that you're not, you know, breathing right into someone's face, or next to 20k people in a stadium).
Scientific American is pretty trash, so I guess this is what you might expect.

Multiple statements and implications have zero evidence to back them up. Fits with HN I guess.

> People nowadays have to work harder and longer to maintain the standards of living enjoyed by their parents

This is just rubbish. Not even in the USA which is only 5% of the worlds population is this true. Treatments of cancer alone are miles ahead, your parents cancer treatments are probably free if you wanted them. Do you think your parents could be in the 'great resignation' during a pandemic.

And for most of the world their parents lived in quite worse poverty.

The idea you can plot population 80 years ahead is just a joke. We couldn't do it a 80 years ago. We can't do it now.

What are you going to do on UBI? Travel the world for 60 years? The worlds already starting to become uniform. Family will become important again. Fertility treatments are/becoming pretty amazing, like all science.

I don’t think I could use my usual IDEs on a laptop screen for too long without going nuts. Even VS Code with its various unhidable UI elements is pushing it. For long term laptop usage I’d need to be writing code in something like Sublime Text or vim where extraneous UI is kept to a bare minimum.

And as others have noted, having a second screen for documentation and work chat (which can be the laptop display, don’t need a second 27”) is essential for me.

You should start with the Kubernetes docs and then read the tutorials. Start with the tutorial but you should really read all the documentation. Its actually not too long a read.

1) https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/components/
2) https://kubernetes.io/docs/tutorials/kubernetes-basics/
3) https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/run-application/

After reading these documents and doing the tutorials, its a matter of gaining experience.
Wearing glasses for 12 hours a day after just wearing contacts most of the time for a few months can be jarring. I always forget how tiny it makes everything look!
I see it more as idealism vs pragmatism. We need both. I think older people tend to be conservative because they've become jaded by idealists and/or politics in general. To many, conservatism is that government and politics screw everything up, so we need less of it.
This is also about appreciation. The main bottleneck for increasing capacity is not machines, rooms or beds, those are available. It's hospital staff that's lacking. ICU beds are the most staff intensive beds in a hospital. It's a job that requires years of training, so you can't just scale it up. Also, the willingness to be a nurse has decreased during the last couple months. A lot of hospital staff has burned out during the first few waves and either reduced their contracts to part time, or quit entirely. The remaining staff has to work hard, until exhaustion and beyond, in order to fight for the patient's lives. Covid stations require proper hygiene which puts extra stress on the hospital staff. And they put in all of this work because some people couldn't be bothered to seek out vaccination, often even the patients themselves. This is the main difference to the first few waves where vaccination has not been available to everyone.
Instead of believing the science, why not actually read and understand instead?

Your statement does not run counter to mine quoted.

Thumb-2 is better designed than Thumb was, but it is still a separate CPU mode.

And it got far less use than it deserved, because of this. It doesn't do everything, and switching has a significant cost. This cost is in contrast with RISC-V's C extension.

Did you misunderstand the issue entirely?

The context here is the implementation of one of the inner loops of a high-performance infinite-precision arithmetic library (GMP), in RISCV the loop has 3x the instruction count it has in competing architectures.

“The compiler” is not relevant, this is by design stuff that the compiler is not supposed to touch because it’s unlikely to have the necessary understanding to get it as tight and efficient as possible.

Why would the rate be higher in higher population countries?
Growth isn't exponential forever, cases appear to be going down again in Germany already. Delta waves seem to be only about 8 weeks long (check data from different countries, or here: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/01/briefing/delta-peak-covid...), so two extra weeks would help a lot.

I agree that vaccines are part of the solution. I disagree that stripping citizens of their rights and insulting them on TV is part of literally any solution for anything. If a government feels the urge to do that, it should look for alternatives instead. Maintaining ICU capacity from one year before (decreased by 4000 in 2021, see: https://www.intensivregister.de/#/aktuelle-lage/zeitreihenht... - "Gesamtzahl gemeldeter Intensivbetten"), is the lowest-hanging fruit, I'm sure there are additional alternatives that I'm not qualified to comment on.

Edit: It was pointed out to me that the DIVI numbers have some complexity that I did not account for. So grain of salt on the actual ICU number, but I've not yet seen anyone deny the trend. Here's a fact check that confirms that beds were lost: https://correctiv.org/faktencheck/2021/11/17/divi-praesident...
An FPGA can be reprogrammed, and we do really do this for standards with better longevity than video standards (e.g. cryptographic ones like AES and SHA). For standards like video codecs, we just use GPUs instead, which I assume is what OP had in mind for "specialized hardware" (specialization can still be pretty general :-)).

Nonviolent protests don't seem to get much change.

People get angry over years of absolute no change.

It seems like there's a happy medium, as long as no one is killed.

(The media usually sensationalizes the protest too. Hell---CVS planned on closing 200 California stores years ago. How do I know? I just know. I heard a spokesman for CVS claim that theft was the reason. When asked about which exact stores were hit hard--she didn't have an answer.

When there's a violent protest, and the disenfranchised guys break a window and steal. The tv stations play the same isolated incident over, and over again.)

aws recently launched cloud control, which more or less decouples the individual resource management aspect of cloudformation from everything else. providers like terraform/pulumi can use it in lieu of manual integrations with every aws api.

Without a strongly inferred type system, all of the things you’re describing around “changing everything to change one thing” are just as much a problem.

In a well typed system, you can choose how deep you want your changes to go.

Let’s say you choose to rename a field in db, I.e. “imageUrl” -> “profilePicURL”. Upon making this change, you will receive type errors on the client consuming it.

At this point, you can make a choice. You can go address all the furthest end consumers, which is what you imply is necessary here. You can just as easily re-shape the data being returned though.

return { …user, imageUrl: user.profilePicUrl }

I firmly believe we’re nearing the “best of both worlds” here :)
The black rectangles exist because the video is a different aspect ratio than your monitor. Not all displays have the same ratio, a monitor with a matching ratio will have no black bars on any side. So by nature, closed captioning has to be within the video bounds.

That reminds me of an old joke:

Q: How does an engineer cure constipation?

A: He works it out with a pencil.

Of course in neither sense of the connotation of the punchline, can the engineer cure his constipation. No, he'd need to see a medical professional to do that.

I'm old enough to remember that the great promise of the internet in China was as a backdoor to free speech. That was until China contracted companies, many of them American, to help construct The Great Firewall. It was just this year that DuckDuckGo stopped giving results for "Tank Man" in the Free US because Bing didn't want to offend China.

Facebook is being used as platform for misinformation, both for political and vaccine related. Facebook was supposed to connect us together, instead it's driven us apart.

And now it's blockchain/crytpo/defi which will save us all.

So in 2021 the joke is:

What I'd like is some clever way of visualizing a randomforest in its entirety, rather than just showing the individual trees as they do in https://gitlab.tue.nl/20040367/pybaobab/-/raw/main/images/ra.... I have no idea how to go about doing this.
Yeah, I'm not sure he takes into considered compressed instructions, which can be used anywhere, rather than being a separate mode like Thumb on ARM.

Fusing instructions isn't just theoretical either. I'm pretty sure it is or will be a common optimisation for CPUs aiming for high performance. How exactly is two easily-fused 16-bit instructions worse than one 32-bit one? Is there really a practical difference other than the name of the instruction(s)?

At the same time, the reduced transistor count you get from a simpler instruction set is not a benefit to be just dismissed either. I'm starting to see RISC-V cores being put all over the place in complex microcontrollers, because they're so damn cheap, yet have very decent performance. I know a guy developing a RISC-V core. He was involved with the proposal for a couple of instructions that would put the code density above Thumb for most code, and the performance of his core was better than Cortex-M0 at a similar or smaller gate count. I'm not sure if the instructions was added to the standard or not though.

Even for high performance CPUs, there's a case to be made for requiring fewer transistors for the base implementation. It makes it easier to make low-power low-leakage cores for the heterogeneous architecture (big.little, M1, etc.) which is becoming so popular.
Both of these options are disappointing, in my experience. Verbatim mode seems weirdly broken sometimes (maybe it's overly strict), and quoting things is rarely enough to convince Google that you really want to search for exactly that thing and not some totally different thing that it considers to be a synonym.

One porridge is too hot and the other is too cold. I know Google could find a happy compromise here if it wanted to. In fact, I bet there's some internal-only hacked-together version that works this way and actually gives an acceptable user experience for the kind of people who have shown up to this thread to show their dissatisfaction.
The author should have mentioned https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-syntax.html somewhere in the first paragraph, because he's basically building to that. Also, he says that there's no formal spec for OD1, which seems strange, because that's exactly the problem porting Org-Mode: no formal spec (yet). One would think that this is a step towards it or what?

> Orgdown1 can be summed up with 43 specific features.

What are they? Couldn't find anything but the page with the examples.

Maybe I missed it, but defining a standard involves actually defining it at some point, no? Like have a pdf maybe? I think I have seen more of the logo noise and the story behind it all and why we need the standard and why this and why that /RATHER than the actual standard/.

And well, the logo... I mean, WHY? It has a very specific meaning already, you know? Like of all the unused unicode symbols, that one, srsly?

> The preference for the level Orgdown1 name is:

> Orgdown1 … if you have the room for the long form

> ⧬1 … if you know how to enter UTF-8 characters (see next section)

> O↓1 … of you know how to enter the downward arrrow characters

> OD1 … this is the easiest to type short form

I’m not sure why you are being so hostile, but the GP is quite correct.

Clock sync error is one of the most common reasons why credit card terminals fail to process a transaction.

GPS is one of the most common ways to set up a clock, and whilst the terminals and ATMs usually don’t get GPS time directly but through an NTP server the NTP servers do set their time via GPS.

Even if you have an atomic clock it’s usually set via GPS first.

GPS time is why you can actually get a coax to an external GPS antenna in most datacenters today.

After banks and stock exchange another victim of the clockpocalypse would be the Internet at large since whilst TLS itself doesn’t require time synchronization other dependencies such as certificate validation do.

Most modern computers are really really bad at keeping exact time without synchronization, it wouldn’t take much to knock them all out of sync and if GPS goes down it would be really really bad…

Oh and if that isn’t enough then modern cellular networks are also extremely dependent on GPS for both keeping time tolerances in check and for many other reasons.

If Russia knocks out GPS or there is a global GPS outage it will wreck the global economy in a manner that I don’t think most people can even comprehend.
Each pile has three solutions in it, and you're asking how we know that all three solutions align to the same number, as required by Sudoku.

> Starting with each row, Bob randomly chooses one card in each cell, from the top, the middle, or the bottom

The random assignment of solutions from each pile to each of the three problems means that the only way to consistently pass the test is to have the three solutions in each pile be identical.
Yes I had a horrible reaction to the 2nd dose. So did everyone I know. Yes it's possible the real thing might be worse for me but I'm going to take my chances. I will not be taking a booster. I'm healthy, exercise regularly and I'm not in the age group that's high-risk.

There are studies showing the vaccine isn't even effective at 3 months. There's no way I'm dealing with that shot every 3-6 months.

That doesn't really answer my question.

For older retirees, they can get money out of the house without having to move in their remaining years. The tax will be proportional to the value, so the numbers cancel out.

For someone that's disabled, are we helping equivalent renters too? Or only the homeowning disabled? And I feel like this is a bad way to help them in general.

Trying to Clean Up All the Ocean Plastic Is Pointless
FTC has been a bit schizo.

Some of their tech industry cases and gas cases seem comically bad. The administration works flat out to stop domestic fossil fuel production (fair enough). Gas prices rise (good for environment as it may depress usage) - then they announce a big investigation into the price of gas?

This is the FTC announcing this gas investigation, not some politicians making noise.

In CA at least, price of gas is heavily influenced by govt rules which includes taxes (state and local), state level blending requirements (14 different blend requirements), federal blending rules (ethanol) etc.

Annoyingly, they don't link to actual complaint in these puff press releases, but the bones of a case like this seem so much stronger than some of the recent crap.
Micropayments are an interesting topic.

> booster shots every 6 months for the indefinite future

This is the most stupid thing about vaccination plans. It's one thing to get vaccinated once, it's another thing entirely to need frequent boosters.

Sounds like the Woodpecker site at Chernobyl. Hey, that was "legally allocated spectrum" too, right?

To be fair, occupied bandwidth limits that were designed for 1920s-era modes don't make much sense with modern spread-spectrum technology. I don't care if an interferer takes up the whole HF spectrum, as long as their chip rate is too fast to make it through my < 3 kHz IF. Those ancient regulations have done a lot to keep Amateur Radio in the dark ages, as well as radio communications in general.
