How so?

My comment is that many people who prefer living in lower density areas are forced out due to lack of jobs in those areas.
Not Just Bikes has a recent video[0] talking about the lack of middle ground for suburbs in North America.

I think a big problem is that laws as they are prevent variety. Either everything must be single family homes with huge setbacks and wide roads, or it is doomed to be bought up by large apartment developers. Is it a threat to your ability to have a yard and two car garage if the house next door is a duplex and the end of the block has a corner store with a couple apartments above it? No, but the laws make it so that only your yard and two car garage can exist in your neighborhood regardless.

Ah, that's a fair point. I guess at some level a sufficiently privileged employee can manage this in almost any system. But there's also some discussion of backdoors and inadequate access control in Ubiquiti's backend here that could concern privacy-minded folk.

I worked with sites that had performance issues because of attacks against dynamic image scaling in Cloudflare (scaling probably done with workers). Services like Cloudflare does not in general protect against service design issues. I try to explain that to people all the time. I also worked with another provider where a monthly bill got 5 times higher one month because images were requested at many different large sizes.

FWIW, I do OPNsense on a dedicated box (Protectli FW4B) and then an R610 for wireless, with an eBay special EOL'd Brocade switch in the middle.

A dumber switch would be just fine, but I wanted something with 802.1at POE and good VLAN support because I like to break things up a bit.

OPNsense is darned handy, and I like that it does more than an EdgeRouter would, like terminate a Wireguard VPN. The R610 works wonderfully, and the switch... well... it's a switch. Once configured it's kinda transparent.

Moving houses soon, so I got a second R610 to fill in signal on what I perceive will be dead spots due to plaster+lathe construction, and in testing thus far it all seems to Just Work. And like you appreciate, since it's all modular it's a lot easier to maintain than the UniFi stuff when things go sideways.

Very, very happy with this setup.

Template specialization works under the same rules as overloading with some restrictions (this is actually how it is formally defined).

The first step prior to overload resolution is name lookup, which discards template candidates whose declaration refers to dependent names on template parameters which wouldn't exist for that implicit instantiation.

The only order that matters is what specializations are visible at the time of the instantiation, and adding more specializations after that is more likely than not to lead to ill-formed programs (due to the ODR rule that you must satisfy), so you can assume it doesn't happen.

enable_if, recursion or whatever else you're referring to are merely trivial applications of the rules.

I don't think it's unreasonable to have to understand how overloads are selected in order to program in C++. The semantics were not designed to match an implementation but rather to make the most sense. This has nothing to do with compiler internals; if anything many compilers implemented it incorrectly for decades.
If you don't think they are wrong in how they feel, I hope you can be convinced that one side is more morally wrong than the other. You should unpack what you meant you say 'high density people cry "gentrification!"'. The people in the McMansions are complaining that their "housing value" goes down. The high density people are complaining that they are being priced out of a place to live.

If I had to choose between protecting "housing value" and having people be homeless (or rather, the working class spending 60-70% of their income on housing), I'd side with the high density people.

More specifically,

>For instance, although high density housing can be a good thing for many, from a structural standpoint they mostly make sense in dense urban cities and the outskirts of said cities. But why have dense urban cities in the 2020's? Why can't suburbs actually live up to the urb part?

There is a huge difference between Manhattan and Amsterdam, and Amsterdam's multifamily housing is what alot of YIMBYs argue we should have; however alot of Amsterdam's housing is completely banned in the US.

> You wrote "it is time we bring back the common usage of the diareses in English."

No I wrote "make cases that think it is time". I'm much more ambivalent about it than the arguments I had heard from others. I agreed in the post you are responding too that I hadn't realized it was much closer to a modern reform movement than a "bring back". That's my uncritical understanding that I'll admit I was wrong about.

Is it the right orthography reform movement to fight for expanding into common use? I don't know and I don't really have anywhere near as strong as opinion on this as you seem to have, but I do know people that think it is a useful reform movement to fight for with existing publication style guides to point to on how/when to use (the New Yorker's) and presumably an "easy win" with good precedence that would do some good, and that is all I was ever pointing out. I'm just pointing out the opinions of other people I've known, whether or not you agree with them is fine. These aren't my own opinions so while I've heard good arguments for them over the years, I certainly never internalized them and can't do justice in defending them. But I appreciate that you seem to be looking for much more of an argument here than I can muster.
That style of layout is called 'urban village' and it hasn't worked in the long run because economic incentives will favor infill development that is closer to economic centers. This isn't to say that they can't work but there are many examples of failed urban villages that eventually turn into sprawling regions.
That's a great philosophy.

Ok, let's take an organization, let's call them, say Ammizzun. Totally not Amazon. Let's say you have a very aggressive hire/fire policy which worked really well in rapid scaling and growth of your company. Now you have a million odd customers highly dependent on systems that were built by people that are now one? two? three? four? hire/fire generations up-or-out or cashed-out cycles ago.

So.... who owns it if the people that wrote it are lllloooooonnnnggg gone? Like, not just long gone one or two cycles ago so some institutional memory exists. I mean, GONE.

It's not an area where I would want to try to claw out a niche, when the 9000 pound gorilla is essentially giving away their product to everyone with an Office 365 subscription.
On the other hand, if one decides to use 16 processes to handle the data across a NUMA shared memory segment, to be able to easier scale it across the cluster, the Rust type system is of little help.
Here we have the eternal struggle between people who know what they do and do not want, and other people who want to know better for the first group.

People who want to live in a single-family residence, they hate the noise from inconsiderate neighbors, and weird smells (cooking or otherwise). They hate fighting for parking. Technically, it is possible to construct multi-family buildings with good noise insulation and decent venting. In reality, people who have had a lot of miserable experiences in apartment buildings and dorms know that this will emphatically not happen. It could! It really could! But it won't.

It would be great if we were angels, but we are not. The people who construct apartment buildings cut so many corners, and we have ongoing evidence of issues with maintaining those buildings, which sometimes do things like collapse. Some people are not a lot of fun to live near, and people who recognize this want to put them at arm's length.

Telling people that they are wrong to want a single family home is a statement with a short memory, when just a few short months ago the reasons for having private space for every occupant, some outside space, and separation from other families seemed very, very, very clear.

Rumor is that our internal pipelines are the root cause. The CICD pipelines (not tests, the literal pipeline infrastructure) failed to block certain commits and pushed them to production when not ready.

In my experience, the same people who oppose new housing due to the lack of infrastructure often also oppose building that infrastructure. They don't really oppose the housing itself but changes in their neighborhood.
Even if that is the desire, it should not be mandated by law. Also, the framing of 'low' vs 'high' density is bad way to frame the issue. For most places where this is an issue the question is 'medium' density or 'more medium' density. Half of Seattle is zoned single family detached. Seattle is not low density.
Everybody is blaming Quill. Fine. But they’re gone. Blame Twitter if you must.
It's mostly free and meets people's expectations. Also, one of the driving goals of silicon valley companies is to grow as large as possible as soon as possible so that it becomes a competitive advantage. At some point, it's impossible to complete against a giant even if the product is easy to replicate.

Googles also has an ad network that finances the product's development and on going maintenance. So a competitor would have to compete against both giants to at least get a foothold.

At this point, the only way to get competitors against YouTube is for the government to get involved and help the new companies in some way.

One possible competitor is for a confederation of organizations to get together and produce a product. They would have to have a product that's at least as good and be willing to accept losses for a time. Also they have to stay together and act together as a force of one. It's unlikely to happen.

I would say that a competitor would have to start by building an ad network first so that there's some money to finance a YouTube like product.

The true competition is the one for people's attention. Find a product that can best get people's attention and you have chance to succeed against Google and YouTube.
>Semi-supervised learning seems currently under-appreciated, especially in medicine.

In medicine it would be appreciated more if it were more effective. Many times the right answer to "I don't have enough data to do X" is: don't do X.

I'm not entirely pessimistic on this by the way, I think principled semi-supervised approaches are likely to work much better than some of the hail mary's you see people try in the space with transfer learning and generative models etc. But it's still hard, and often it just isn't going to work with the kind of practical numbers some people want to be able to work with in medicine.

> are opposed to high density housing because it is built in places that lack infrastructure to support high density housing.

I've seen this objection a few times now but never actually seen it sourced. Do you have a source?

I feel like there's some kind of conflict between that being true and the fact that suburbs can't afford to maintain the infrastructure that they _do_ have.

I guess the question is why can't you (AWS) fix the problem of the status page not reflecting an outage? Maybe acceptable if the console has a hiccup, but when www.amazon.com isn't working right, there should be some yellow and red dots out there.

Yes, I can.

However I am not convinced that is what has happened in the US and Canada's suburban development with regards to the overwhelming adoption of single family homes.

Charles Marohn, a former city planner and engineer, has written about this "the free market has spoken" position as his own previous position on this topic which he no longer holds:

> At this point in my life, I was a self-described free-market Republican with an outspoken passion for markets and my chosen profession of civil engineering, which to me was a technical way to say “city building.” If I had been pushed to reconcile my rejection of congestion pricing with my support for the free market, I would have had no problem. I would have said something like:

> > Markets are about the expression of personal preference. It was clear that, since most people drove automobiles, auto-based infrastructure was the clear market preference. Since most people lived in single-family homes, they were also the clear market preference. Given those clear and obvious preferences—combined with the fact that people paid taxes and expected the government to respond to their desires—charging people more for something they already paid for was a ploy to benefit the rich. Instead of congestion pricing, the state should have been building more capacity.

The ubiquity of a given mode of something, in this case single family homes in US and Canadian suburbs, is not necessarily evidence that people overwhelming want or support those modes. Especially if there is rarely, if ever, a true alternative available to actually choose instead.

Further, even if we assume that the free market _did_ actually freely choose this mode that it should stand unquestioned in perpetuity. Needs and desires change as people and the world change together.

> Once you have the effective cure, it will likely be economically a no-brainer to implement, because a whole lot of illness of old age will just go away. It's essentially a self-funding cure that drastically reduce the cost of healthcare.

Okay, but don't you see the disconnect here? Because we don't even have good preventative care right now in the US, and that is also economically a no-brainer. Being economically advantageous overall turns out to be not enough of an incentive to introduce political change.

So you have this theory that once death is solved, naturally it will be in everyone's best interest to distribute the cure, but that doesn't match up with what we see in the world today. Again, going back to homelessness, if this isn't economically complicated, and we still haven't solved it, that to me suggests that it's not going to be simple in the future to distribute a cure for aging, even if you're right about the incentives. Figuring out how to bridge that gap between economic incentive and political will might be a giant, equally difficult problem to solve.

Doesn't it worry you that fixing these kinds of problems today would clearly reduce overall health care costs on the system and yet the problems still exist? How are you so confident that aging will be different?

I think this all is assuming that those who have the power to will allow competition to ramp up and the price to come down. I can't help but feel they won't with the cure for aging, as it's in a different category than other medical and technological inventions.

As I said in a reply to a sister comment, maybe I'm just cynical and pessimistic, but this is the one thing I don't see those who have money and power allowing to ever reach those who don't; if nobody had to age, it might threaten their power too much.

I don't see them working on making it cheaper for the common person out of the goodness of their heart. And I see their desire to keep their power as stronger than their desire to worry about healthcare costs.

Life isn't some game of throne that incentivized the creation of bloodthirsty ruthless power mongers except in some of the most dystopian place on earth.

Maybe I'm super cynical and pessimistic, but if the cure for aging is found, I don't see it being made widely available, ever, for simple reason of power and politics. Humanity isn't at that point, and likely never will be.

Economic and technological force might make such attempt at control a pointless exercise, especially since a cure will likely be made public by scientists.

Suburbs can't live up to the urb part because they are car-centric. What makes high density worth it I the ability to walk down a street and reach many points of interest, like a grocery or a gym or even a school. And not just one but a choice of them.

For said high density to be able to operate, people should widely use mass transit, because streets cannot and should not have room to let everybody drive a car.

This is why suburbia with single-family houses and driving everywhere, and a dense city with high-rises and subway are like oil and water, they can't mix freely.

> Why wouldn't you oppose density?

Not everyone dislikes density and not everyone is motivated by rising housing prices. People are different. It's why I find it so silly that US zoning has created a lifestyle monoculture through most of the US.
