> I don’t think high rise cities are really a path to better societies. I loved high rise building when I was younger but today I must say that most of the cities I enjoy most are not cities with tall buildings.

High rise buildings are quite simply a path to better land use in the most valuable and most productive urban centers - think Manhattan. They will always be rare elsewhere, precisely because they do come with drawbacks that make them uneconomical otherwise.
That makes sense. Reflection is the enemy of anyone trying to produce a compact binary (or webpack bundle). A quick grep of the k8s codebase and there are plenty of situations that kill the dead code elimination:

staging/src/k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/runtime/scheme.go: if m := reflect.ValueOf(obj).MethodByName("DeepCopyInto"); m.IsValid() && m.Type().NumIn() == 1 && m.Type().NumOut() == 0 && m.Type().In(0) == reflect.TypeOf(obj) {

That's quite the line of code too.
This is also hyperbole. Mountain View is very dense compared to most of the suburban USA. There are numerous non-Google burrito, taco, Korean hot-pot, etc. places all with a few minutes’ walk of the Googleplex. I know because I’ve walked to them.

I'm willing to accept that marrow won't have much of an effect on cooking a steak, simply because:

1) The marrow isn't touching the actual meat

2) Bone marrow and steak have very different preparations

Claiming bones don't have any flavour is a silly overcorrection though.
"Wilkinson envisions big, open spaces with couches and cozy nooks as work stations that are not assigned to any single employee."

I wonder if he really does have any personal experience about working in a place like this at all.

People need order, they need to have something they can call their own. They'll keep coming back to place they were last time and will have arguments if someone has taken their spot. Teams will claim a place their own unofficially. Nobody is going to move around every day just because they can. People need predictability.

I'm inclined to think that Wilkinson himself has never been forced to work in a places he envisions.
Fair enough regarding the first sentence, but why would the direction be one-way anyway? Lots of interactions go both ways.
For the wagyu served as a steak, have you tried A5 like you had at the sushi places? I've never had much luck in finding American or Australian wagyu that is a significant enough step up over regular Prime to make it worth the price, but real A5 or BMS9+ I've absolutely found to be special.

I haven't found the price difference on Kobe to be worth it over Kagoshima or Miyazaki, though.

Edit: I see this is answered in another comment :)

What’s your favorite wood? I used peach recently and it was nice, but I’d be open to try anything.
A theme is server code :) Since WordPress is PHP, rendering the front end is done in PHP on the server. A theme writes PHP to render custom templates, which (on top of styles) is a large part of what themes do in WordPress.

This is changing to an extent with the Full Site Editing project, but themes and plugins are both very powerful and flexible in WordPress, which has in part led to its massive success.

I'm not sure you even clicked the link your point is so orthogonal.

> Cook some identical roasts or steaks. Cook one bone-in, cook one with the bone removed but tied back on, and cook a third with the bone removed and tied back on with a layer of impermeable aluminum foil in between. Then cut them all up and taste them (preferably with a large group of people in a blind setting). You'll find that they all taste pretty much identical.

This "scientific cooking" is all about the taste that results. People aren't applying these myths because they've tried it both ways and their senses tell them one is better than the other, that's the whole point of making an article like this.

I think bit_cast may finally solve the last major use case of reinterpret_cast (building type safe memory mapped device objects) but I haven't sat down and tried to verify this yet.

Unfortunately there are also still a lot of platforms that have yet to get C++20 support and memcpy is not a viable alternative. Hopefully this is less of an issue in the future as major MCU orgs like TI have started switching to LLVM/Clang based compilers which can follow upstream with little to no changes needed.

Edit: I just did some digging and bit_cast does not work for the aforementioned use case since it can copy the data to a new location in memory. This prevents us from being able to reliably use it to write to memory registers.
I am certainly nostalgic for winamp every time I launch spotify.
For me the convenience factor has to do with the fact that I can vacuum seal and freeze a bunch of meat at once, then it's just a matter of tossing the vacuum sealed bag in the circulator a few hours before dinner. Then I just need to pull it out, hit it with the torch, and we're ready to eat. I suspect the longer cooking time to account for the meant being frozen helps with fat rendering.

We buy half a beef every six months or so (split with my parents, so I guess it's technically 5/7th's of a half? 5/14th's of a cow?). For a few hours on a weekend doing some prep/portioning, I can dramatically reduce the workload for several week's worth of meals.

Obviously there's other tradeoffs involved and different personal circumstances to consider, but for me the circulator wins out from a convenience perspective.
It's worth reading the abstract of the paper you indirectly cite:

> The lack of negative impact on voter turnout cannot be attributed to voters’ reaction against the laws, measured by campaign contributions and self-reported political engagement. However, the likelihood that non-white voters were contacted by a campaign increases by 4.7 percentage points, suggesting that parties’ mobilization might have offset modest effects of the laws on the participation of ethnic minorities.

Or in other words, the authors conclude that voting laws don't ultimately affect turnout, but that's confounded by a nearly 5% increase in GOTV efforts. While it's probably wrong to conclude that a 5% decrease in GOTV would reduce turnout by 5%, there's almost certainly some offsetting impact there.
The trouble with WordPress is that it makes it too easy to set up and far too easy to install random plugins.

People spin up a WordPress instance for their blog that they're totally going to use every day, install a bunch of plugins and a fancy theme, then within a few months have completely forgotten about it. Meanwhile, vulnerabilities are discovered in the plugins they installed. Maybe they're patched and maybe they're not, but either way their server doesn't get updated.

Within a few months it's hacked, and the ex-blogger probably doesn't know until they get an email from their hosting service complaining about malware being served from their blog.

This is made worse by the fact that, since WordPress is everywhere, it's worth the time for bad actors to write scripts to exploit vulnerabilities in outdated versions of popular plugins. It doesn't matter how obscure your site is, if it's written in WordPress and not up-to-date, it's as good as hacked.
>>The real world is generally not well captured in unrestrained markets. You got externalities and tragedy of the commons not taken into account.

What negative externalities does densification impose? He provides evidence that the laws limiting building height increase housing costs and reduce economic opportunity.

Providing market freedom, where such freedom would provide a clear social and economic benefit, in the absence of evidence it produces negative externalities, is economically sound, and the anti-libertarian insistence that it's not is what is the actual ideologically-motivated position.

>>today I must say that most of the cities I enjoy most are not cities with tall buildings.

So move to a smaller town, or the suburbs, where land expense doesn't drive densification? Why oppose what people prefer, and artificially limit the density of the economic cores of large metropolises?

These economic cores are a very limited set of geographically restricted zones that are hugely in demand places, for people all over the world to live, hire and work, and generate positive externalities for the entire world, to the extent that they can - through rising density and better transportation networks - build on their agglomeration effects that raise the per capita productivity and innovativeness of their residents.

There are a great many alternatives to these regions if what one prefers low-density living. It's not reasonable to deny the development path that is clearly the aggregate preference of society at large just to maintain low density in these select locales.
Racists have racist principles that they hold with great conviction, doesn’t make them right. You have to stop and ask - is this principle correct.
There are plenty of animals that don't nurse their young. That's a peculiarity of mammals.

And the scientific evidence suggests that plants do likely feel something akin to what could be called pain.

Their inability to scream with sounds detectable by human ears isn't evidence they don't feel anything.

It's not absurd. It's what science tells us -- that plants emit chemicals to communicate to other plants about infestations of insects so they can take action to protect themselves and when injured they may give off a "pulse", aka a type of scream.

I don't have anywhere near enough money (I'm literally under the poverty line) but I definitely feel like I have enough "acquisition power." I don't want to acquire more, I want to sort through all my junk and get rid of most of it.

A simpler system might be to have dedicated upward and downward shafts, with change over points in the roof and basement. The cars all queue up to go up or down depending on which shaft they’re in.

The elevator cars couldn’t have cables of course, but they could be driven by electric motors on the cars themselves (powered by induction), driving a gear wheel that runs on a fixed track on the side of the shaft.

I've never seen Dynamicland before... HN surprises again. This is actually a very interesting experiment. How do we really blend computing power, and sensors with human activity? So many little things going on, and very little of it I've seen explored before - and honestly, having a computer that can scan, measure and visually project on anything in the work area is actually useful. Sometimes we get little glimpses of what life will be like in the distant future, and this seems more likely to be of great utility than, say environmental isolation style VR.
> With remote work, why are we still all trying to cram ourselves so close together?

For one thing, many jobs can't be done remotely.

But it's not just about work. People want to go to restaurants, community centers, live entertainment. The more sprawl there is, the fewer people can live within reasonable distance of it.

Even if you want to live in a single family home, tall buildings are good. Instead of having to drive an hour through a landscape of other single family homes, you can live in one closer to the city while some of the people who used to live there can live in the city because they prefer being within walking distance to having a half acre of grass. Currently there are more people who want that than most cities have housing units and many of them get priced out, which in turn makes it more expensive to live in the suburbs.
I've found that using construct() to skip validation is great when a model has e.g. a `List[float]` attribute with a length of 10k+ items. But this has to be done judiciously.

> if your primary conclusion or concern is "human psychology is hard to study scientifically" (ie with exactness and ready replicability) then I'm going to be all "Well, duh!"

The way that I read the "inexact sciences" critique is one that takes aim at the certainty of their rhetoric. An uncertain and "hard to study" science should use words that reflect that rather than an inappropriate level of determinism which seems to be what the article is actually discussing.
Definitely agree with the "cooking 6 steaks for guests". This is my secret trick at barbecues: I pre-cook a bunch of steaks that I keep warn in an ice-chest (with no ice, obviously), then as guest comes and goes, I sear them, which takes a few minutes only. Every group of arriving guest gets to eat a nice perfectly cooked steak, straight out of the fire.

My other secret trick is to sous-vide chicken wings, so I don't have to fear about contamination of my tools, people being like "is it cooked enough? It looks pink". After sous-viding, I leave them on a cold side of the barbecue until they turn golden brown: the meat is soft, moist and almost candied. It's fool proof as they'll never really have a chance to burn and they always come up perfect.

> “anti voter rights” when in reality they just require ID to vote which is standard in many places that are more civilized than the US.

This has to be viewed in context. In these other "more civilized" countries that require voter ID, how easy is it to get a national ID? In the US, getting valid ID is complicated, requires going somewhere in person (and often for people in rural areas a significant distance) and cost. In Switzerland on the other hand, one can order a valid national ID online and receive it in the mail for free.
Interestingly, that's the default for GCP but not AWS, even though both providers are developed by Hashicorp. I was pleasantly surprised by how difficult it was to (even intentionally) delete my GCP database when I was starting to use terraform.

If you're going to try to be clever/snide, at least come up with a better analogy...

Using Linux effectively doesn't mean you need to learn its source code. You need to know about its features (and trade-off, etc).

You don't need to know a language implementation's (e.g. gcc/clang for C++) source code to use a language well either, do you? Obviously you don't; it's a fools errand if all you ever want is to use it effectively.

You need to know about features (and trade-off, etc), how they were designed in isolation, and more importantly how they were designed to fit/connect together.

>Isn't steak boring?

No.

> They're huge and the huger they are the more masculine you are for eating them

I dry age steaks at home, so between trimming off the pellicle (which I then use for mixing in when grinding burger meat or turn into stock/demi-glace) and the water loss from evaporation, my steaks aren't particularly large, and I certainly don't do it because of any sort of masculinity.

>but every bite tastes the same and there's no need to experience it past the first few.

I'm not really sure what this argument is. If you find something delicious, why would you decide you should stop after a couple of bites?

Oh gotcha, yeah I don't really know. I've only ever prepared it myself and I've only eaten A4 (once) or A5. Wagyu is definitely broader and therefor a more abusable term, but I haven't had issues since I order it directly and prepare it personally.

I do, however, definitely eat whole ribeyes of A5 lol
Policing language helps with marketing. I'm not saying I like it, but what is the alternative? "Some randos with domain knowledge and free time made the system do something other than what its designers intended, and now are hoping that distracted or gullible users will get fooled into scams"?
This really confirmed visually for me something that I started to think was just in my head: I miss working with adults.

Since I've been in tech over 35 was "old", even among "senior" leadership. I had memories of when this wasn't the case (I even worked in a old style office where literally everyone had their own office with a door), but I thought maybe it was just a function of me being much younger then.

What's remarkable in these images is that there is a range of ages and at the same time it's obviously not a gerontocracy. I can't remember the last time I worked with someone that had gray hair.

The last several teams I've worked with I remember a constant sense of everyone trying to figure out what to do. When you look at resumes you can see why, nearly everyone has worked at one or two places and only worked for at most 5 years. On any of these teams everyone would still be considered "kids" with a lot to learn about patience and how to solve hard problems.

I seriously wonder what has happened to older people in tech, and sometimes wonder if one day I'll be taken out back and find out.
This isn't a guess. This is something that applies to most people I know. That means that this "myth" is true around me. I've cut steak open a lot, and I can see easily that more juices flow out when I use a dull knife compared to when I use a sharp knife. A simple thought experiment: do you think cutting open a steak with a razor blade will make the same amount of juice flow than with a butter knife? I know for a fact that the razor blade will spill almost no juice, and the butter knife will spill a lot, by pressing the steak.

The question is now: Do most people have dull knives? Or do they have sharp knives? Most people around me have dull knives, except for chefs. I've seen lots of cooking videos, and chefs often tend to have good and sharp knives. So my guess here would be that chefs have sharper knives than most people. Meaning that a chef can't properly test this myth unless they take this factor into account.

I haven't been able to find any data on knife spending, or average sharpness of knives depending on if people are chef or not. Here's an experiment we could try: have people evaluate the sharpness of a single knife, and see if non-chef tend to evaluate it as better than chefs.

This is, I think, how science works. Sometimes you have proved something, sometimes it was just counfounding factors. There's a good article about that being discussed currently: https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/04/28/the-control-group-is-o....

I'll finish this by saying I have a huge respect for J. Kenji López-Alt. I only raise that point because here, I believe being a chef can introduce bias.
