> In San Clemente, a successful effort to remove some parklets originated with downtown merchants who wanted parking for their customers.

The youtube channel, Not Just Bikes, showed that in the 1970s, much of the Netherlands was car centric and claimed there were death threats by store owners who thought that getting rid of the parking spaces would deprive them of their customers. According to the channel the opposite was true. Removing the cars increased the number of people on the streets significantly and business for those stores increased.

I have no idea if that would work for San Clemente. It's not some $800k person city like Amsterdam. It's a 64k person city slightly isolated beach community with a 5-6 block long shopping street lined with parking.

Assuming it could get the foot traffic it would be 10x nicer with no cars and more outdoor seating but they'd still need some place to put the visitors (off the main street parking structures/lots)

The only brain surgeon I’ve met was certainly a different breed of both technical and emotional intelligence. The guy was a complete machine. Came by the room I was visiting at like 8pm after a day of surgeries and teaching. Was going to go home and review the files, then sleep, and then was at the hospital at 5am upset with the surgery team for being behind. He did surgeries, taught, and performed research. I have ZERO idea how someone can be that busy but that focused, literally holding lives in his hands.

I consider myself to be an intelligent person, but I do not possess the complete emotionally stability and dedication required to be a brain surgeon, or any surgeon for that matter. A rocket scientist is different, but being a surgeon does require a certain type of personality and emotional makeup.

Laptop and Desktop, though I am cheating a bit. I just use the Intel integrated graphics on FreeBSD, since I'm still dual-booting Windows for Video production and gaming. Media consumption, programming and office stuff works just as fine on the integrated graphics in my case. So I don't know how the graphics card support plays out. Let's go with half-daily driver maybe :]

My personal pain points are bluetooth support and gamepad support being a bit of a mess.

Next big stepping stone for me is a Windows VM + http://looking-glass.io , which side-steps the graphics card driver question and doesn't require two monitors, though I don't know how hard that is to setup on FreeBSD.

Disabling exceptions means that you can't catch them, not that you can't throw them.* If an exception would be thrown under such circumstances, the process aborts. This would have been a safer default than undefined behavior (though inconsistent with other fundamental and standard C++ APIs, which generally prefer for the obvious default to be fast rather than safe).

* This is technically wrong, because, e.g., destructors don't run on the way out; I'm going for pithiness here rather than strict accuracy.

Beware of assuming magic capabilities.

I think in 50 years we might be about as limited as we are today -- some technologies significantly (but not magically) improved, but much more restricted energy and material availability. We've undergone the greatest revolutions in history in the last century, and fundamentally building technology and energy usage isn't in a magical state compared to early 20th century. NY's Empire State was built in the 1930s. Roman buildings are better in some way than modern equivalents.

A significant sea level rise (>10m) would mean rebuilding the housing of >25% of US's population (~40% are living within 100km of the coast). Imagine 1 in 3 people needing to rebuild their homes. Because of our current mode of action, we're quickly approaching most environmental limits at the same time. If we assume availability and (inverse) cost is approximately proportional to natural reserves of a mineral, and that consumption is also approximately inversely related to cost, then most minerals are expected to deplete at similar times. That I know of, copper, several rare earth minerals, lithium, phosphor, and who knows what else.

Imagine the social shock this will bring, specially if current cultural, social and economic paradigms are maintained.

"Who would want to do that? It sounds unpleasant."

https://xkcd.com/908/
The key is to avoid equivocating between "C++ reference" and "some kind of value that indicates another value elsewhere".

C++ references cannot be optional by design; that is one of the aspects of pointers that C++ references "fix", and you cannot code around it. A key idea behind references is to get rid of the null-based optionality of pointers (nowadays referrred to as the "billion dollar mistake").

The author of the article would like to use the declaration syntax of references T& in the middle of some templateology to produce an optional reference; but that optional reference itself cannot have anything to do with C++ references.

If the abstraction doesn't actually have C++ reference semantics in it, why would you want to specify any aspect of it using C++ reference syntax? Because it is poetically memetic or something?

reference_wrapper doesn't actually have anything to do with references; it doesn't have to be used with references and isn't implemented literally as a wrapper around a reference: implementations contain a pointer. It really should lose the _wrapper from its name, which provides no information about it.

Where is the reference here?

#include <iostream>
#include <utility>
#include <functional>

using std::reference_wrapper;
using std::cout, std::endl;
using std::swap;

int main()
{
int x = 42, y = 73;
reference_wrapper rx(x);
reference_wrapper ry(y);
swap(rx, ry); // swap pointers
cout << rx << ", " << ry << endl; // 73, 42
cout << x << ", " << y << endl; // 42, 73: stayed where they are
}

It looks pretty much like a rudimentary smart pointer.
The rebuild movies are pretty explicit sequels.
NYC is probably the most walkable city on the planet and yet it still takes about an hour with all stops, waiting, and delays to from north of central park to the financial district.

I went there to get a lot of the experience of what daily life would be like and I seriously don't get it. Paying a car loan and always having a reliable means of transportation beats having ridiculous delays or a train not even showing up so now you gotta hightail it two blocks over to the next station otherwise it's gonna be another 15 minute wait.
>If we approach unfamiliar ideas curiously, we can imagine part of factual reality that is outside our conceptions: people know things we don't and have legitimate motives we haven't considered. I know almost nothing about outdoor dining; it would be interesting to hear from a restauranteur and city planner.

He has a point though: treating every idea 'curiously' will kill an endevour by a thousand cuts.[0] To the point, attempting to apply these standards retrospectively would result in a very different and much worse current day. For starters most of San Francisco would still be part of the bay. I can't even imagine the horror and outrage at proposing to fill in the bay to increase the footprint of downtown? And yet considering we aren't chomping at the bit to return SF to nature I can't help feel society has decided it was the right thing to do.

[0]How does outdoor dining affect the patterns of migratory birds? Better fund a study. For each restaurant, so the individual facts. Are you a 'bird advocate' who thinks the aforementioned study was a sham? Sharpen your legal pencils because the state is very interested to hear and debate your case.

I really wish this sort of thing was hyperbole.

I don't believe so. However I do believe that projecting a deluded self-assuring aura helps convince people to follow you, but that doesn't mean that your internals acts that way.

Would recommend checking out Github color themes for VSCode if you use that:
https://github.com/primer/github-vscode-theme

I feel these themes strike a very nice balance in color contrasts and finally provide me with a light theme I can also use, although being a dark theme user for who knows how many years, the github light theme just works really nicely.

They also have two variations of both themes, which is nice, for changing around when one or the other starts to feel boring or unreadable.
while I agree with your overall sentiment, and yet still hope people keep working to make it wrong, no matter how hopeless it may be or appear to be.. a few more thoughts to ponder...

I know of several people who have been temp-banned by fbk, and there are certainly many more - and those folks start looking for alternatives to day it happens, and they could each bring 6 or more people with them, even if only for 30 days or so.. so "designed to retain you, no matter the cost" - may be true in regards to 'no matter the cost to users' - they seem to be spending money to over-moderate and dis-retain some.

Also I believe one of the six bills up in congress about reigning in tech overpower, has mentions of making data more portable.. I saw something where fbk made it so you can export your posts to wordpress.. as preemptive as that may be - it does not make it a thing to pull your groups info, marketplace stuff.. and it's possible we could have legislative action to make it easier to mirror stuff from the giants to other portals - this would make it much easier to transfer regular use off their platforms..

It's interesting you mention influencers - that can be a big piece of the puzzle with outsized network effects - one reasons I keep kicking the idea of having 'theUnbanned' or uncensored.. ungagged - something better sounding.. or something as a gateway to the fediverse.. it's not unusual to see popular people kicked form platforms and it shouldn't be too hard to take advantage of that with an easy to spin up new network for them.. I've seen more than a dozen opportunities from twitch in the past so many months..

Yes, many utilitarians end up being good people despite their utilitarianism. They take a best guess at what is right, in a murky, conflicted world, and then work on that, perhaps backfilling a utilitarian just-so story to make themselves feel better. I applaud them for that.

But utilitarianism as a philosophy is obviously, and will continue to be, ridiculous for the simple reason that there is no such thing as general utility.

Nothing wrong with having expectations. Things are supposed to be good. Marriages are supposed to be forever. Justice is supposed to be done. Politicians are supposed to be honest. Governments are supposed to look out for us. Companies are supposed to provide good products and services.

Obviously reality falls short of expectations no matter what we do. Enough disappointment will demoralize anyone. It will shatter their understanding of the world, their sense of right and wrong, of cause and effect. Cynicism is born when the disturbing realities become the new expectations. Cynicists expect the world to keep disappointing them.

The Bitcoin price is fundamentally driven by the cost of electricity: if you're a miner, you can spend $40K on electricity (on average) to mine a new coin, or if existing coins cost less money to buy, you can simply buy them instead (and make a profit in the process).

The goal of miners it to acquire coins, and they can either buy electricity and compute machines and "trade" that expense for coins, or they can buy coins directly. Either way, miners will do whatever is cheapest to get new coins.

You, in passing, nailed exactly what's wrong with Apple's way of doing UI.

"Niche tricks you have to learn?" That's ridiculous. It's perfectly fine to do a great default UI that most people like without any adjustment -- but it's preposterous that there's no "go in and change just about whatever you want how you want (even if that option is in the way back)."

I'm not sure what you mean by "information channels". Wouldn't a factory mainly just need to communicate its inputs and outputs the computer or computer cluster doing the calculation? Similarly for distribution centers. In particular, would much more information need to be transmitted in a planned economy than in a market economy? Remember that, while there are millions of products in the economy, any given center of production or distribution is unlikely to use more than a few thousand.

I don't think the computation cost scales exponentially. If it did, the decentralized free market computer would not be able to accurately compute the economy. Paul Cockshott claims to have found a planning algorithm with O(n log n) complexity, which is very manageable.

The main problem with free markets is that they lead to extreme inequality and subsequent conflict. A planned economy could distribute the surplus much better.

I disagree that the government should withdraw from the market economy. The government can help alleviate the failures of the market. For one thing, the market is generally short-sighted, while governments can think more long-term. For example, it is my understanding that the Chinese government has invested a lot in solar panel technology and implementation. You would probably agree this is a good thing, given the severity of the climate crisis.

there's no such thing as "metamphetamines". Presumably the word you're looking for is "methamphetamine", which doesn't begin with "meta". Although I suppose both "methamphetamine" and "meta" do begin with "met", but then, so do "metropolitan" and "meteorological", amongst a few others.

Also, FWIW: methamphetamine isn't crack. Crack is a form of cocaine. Methamphetamine is what's commonly referred to as "speed".
