Price of inputs increased. Logistic network efficiency fell, delays, ports, trucks, COVID increased labor and other costs.

That said, who knows. It's a complex system, cascading failures are common. Maybe the demand shock of the pandemic (restaurants cancelled orders, farmers cut back demand for fertilizer, factories predicted big demand decrease, but that was successfully "worked around" by government intervention, now the demand is higer than estimated, plus the aforementioned other factors.)
>Wind, solar, hydro and geothermal with *sufficient storage* can meet all our needs.

The sufficient storage part is the key.

You can massively overbuild wind, solar and hydro capacity and still have parts of each day or stretches of several days a year where these sources will provide very little of their nameplate capacity.

Geothermal is pretty reliable, but not something I'm keeping an eye on as I'm not aware of any large energy systems where this type of power generation will play a significant role.

There’s a reason why this crime spree is happening in LA. I don’t think it’s because of UP’s jurisdiction over railroads. It’s because LA effectively attracts crime and criminals, because in practice they don’t face consequences (deterrents) and become increasingly bold as repeat offenders. LA has induced a cesspool that then bleeds into affecting things like the railroads that run through the area. There’s a reason you don’t hear about this sort of thing happening in Texas or wherever else.

You’re also ignoring the fact that the arrested criminals are handed over to the LA criminal justice system, where the city prosecutors (led by Soros-funded progressive restorative justice advocate George Gascon) reduced/dismisses charges and releases repeat offenders back into the public. This is exactly what the Union Pacific has complained about (https://www.up.com/cs/groups/public/@uprr/@newsinfo/document...).

Finally, the claim that crime is down in cities practicing restorative justice is completely disconnected from reality and laughable. Individuals and businesses see and experience crime regularly and simply don’t bother reporting it anymore. Nothing is done about these incidents by city leadership and prosecutors, criminals aren’t brought to justice, and insurance claims are expensive due to deductibles. Crime is therefore, predictably, grossly underreported.

What makes strcpy() a better compromise than strncpy() or strlcpy() with 64K or 128K of RAM?
Skyscrapers solve several really hard problems. For example, dense sidewalks have higher throughput than city streets or even subways, unfortunately people don’t walk very quickly and most sidewalks see little use. However, the number of places you can walk to directly correlates to building height. So, in effect someone walking surrounded by skyscrapers is doing the equivalent of highway speeds when surrounded by 6 story buildings.

Which is why NYC sidewalks get used so much, they are a very useful form of transportation. Which has positive knock on effects in terms of human health etc.
The Empire State Building was built just as the Great Depression was taking root, in 1930--31. That depression lasted until 1941 officially, and it wasn't until the post-war boom that commercial activity really began taking off. It's helpful to keep that in mind when looking at the history of the building.

Keep in mind too that the Empire State Building was the tallest building in the world for 40 years --- it held the title from 1930 until 1970 when the World Trade Center towers exceeded it. (The Empire State Building topped out in September, 1930, well before construction was comleted.) Conventional wisdom long held that supertowers were lagging economic indicators and foretold recessions. There's some truth to that.

Currently, Skeema doesn't interact with DML or provide anything to help here. But that means you're free to use whatever solution you'd like, and Skeema won't get in your way, even if you store your DML in the same repo or even same subdirectories.

Part of the reason for this is that some of Skeema's users are quite large, and larger MySQL users already have in-house solutions for row data migrations. When your tables are huge and/or sharded, a data migration consists of a lot more complexity than just putting an UPDATE statement into a .sql file :)

I do agree it would be good to have some options in Skeema for DML at various scales, and it's something I plan to start approaching in the future, hopefully later this year. Overall my approach with Skeema's roadmap has been to first get DDL right for tables, then get DDL right for other types of objects (finally complete), and only then move on to considering automation for other areas (whether that be DML, or something like managing users/grants, database global variables, etc).
I would frame what you describe as Safety Critical Code™, and agree with your assessment that very few work on such things.

I expect a lot more of us work on safety critical code that doesn't fall into the first category. Stuff that we rely on to produce results in a reliably timely matter whose failure results in material degredation of someone's quality of life. As an example: The Alexa communication infrastructure has been used to save lives, but Alexa devices are not "Life Saving" or "Medical" devices. I believe we spurn the duty of disciplined engineering at our peril.

> about how homeless folks are interfering with their enjoyment

> In practical terms you get to pick one. You can care about nebulous concepts like the social fabric

Actually there was the other solution. The other solution compared to yours of "make people live in the small towns.", is instead "Make lots of tall skyscapers, so that big cities are affordable".

If we lower the costs of big cities (By making lots and lots of supply, including tall skyscapers), then prices are lower for those who need them, and more people can live here, and take advantage of the big cities, and it can also benefit the poor by actually making it possible for them to live here, instead of on the streets.

We don't have to force out the poor from the big cities. Instead we can make the big cities affordable to live in, with lots and lots of tall skyscrapers.

> see people moving out of cities like San Francisco

Actually, you are the one who is trying to get people to move out of the big cities. I want there to be more supply for everyone, in these big cities, with more skyscapers.

Public transportation doesn't work just because all the jobs are in one place. At best this creates a transportation system that craters to business and not to social interaction (since its inherently a spoke model with business the hub)

Also in this business-concentrated city, the synergy you describe (and I agree exists) is set up to benefit business. What about synergies between people?

Better small, concentrated, cities as existed before the automobile that, had jobs scattered throughout them.

(To be clear cities’ downtowns are always more commerce oriented, the agora or the forum come to mind. But go to Rome and see how small the forum of the largest city in antiquity is. Place of business wasn't restricted to one place)

You can still backdoor a FPGA in the style of Reflections on Trusting Trust... wait for known code to be installed into the FPGA and then patch it.
Incremental compilation is pretty fast on Scala.js – it usually takes just a few seconds for me, about half of which is usually webpack bundling. Although if you make a code change that affects many modules of your app, it will take a bit more, but still very reasonable.

I haven't had a chance to compare speeds apples-to-apples, but I expect Typescript incremental compilation to be faster than Scala.js. Though, to me this metric has stopped being relevant because using a type safe language I stopped looking at my changes in the browser every minute, like I used to do when I was writing frontends in Javascript.

LESS/CSS compilation is the only part where I really care about speed since pixel pushing always needs trial and error, so I set it up to be separate from Scala.js compilation, and it's as fast as it would be in JS world.
Los Angeles grew up as an automobile city with boulevards and freeways, and looks it.

LA is the way it is due to the history of how it was developed. It's a desert city and they had to develop large tracts at one time to finance the water infrastructure to bring water in from elsewhere.

LA was spread out like it is before it became the poster child for the cult of the car. It was like that when it was served by trolleys and foot traffic.

I don't know what the solution is going forward, but planning around cars is not how that got started in the case of LA.
Can anyone comment on how you can emulate a modern console like Gamecube/Wii/Switch and run games at full speed? Last I checked, the (CPU cycle accurate?) SNES emulator Higan/BSNES still experiences framedrops/slowdown on modern hardware, and that's for a 30-year-old console. What's the shortcut/secret sauce that allows emulating modern consoles on modern PCs at full speed?
A lot of GUI paradigms can benefit from being a little less similar to their physical counterparts.

I questioned myself about it many times. AFAIK, the rockpi4 without WiFi is ryf-certifiable. DisplayPort may need blobs, but USB-C is used only for power.It has blob free FLOSS drivers for the GPU and VPU. Its arm trusted firmware is fully open source.

So, yes it is possible to have a modern and affordable ryf-certified system.
Apparently it's OK because both the vendor and the user are prevented from updating it. Thus there's no power differential between them on that specific point.
When I was volunteering with Food Not Bombs, we actually didn't dumpster much, there were an abundance of stores and suppliers willing to just give us what they were going to throw out if we could organize a collection time.

We did occasionally dumpster also though, but Food Not Bombs groups have a loose guideline of serving vegan food, which is much less likely to go bad after a few hours of not being refrigerated (though the veganism is part of the ethics also)

Skyscrapers are inherently expensive to build, so building more skyscrapers isn't likely to make urban cores affordable for the types of folks who wind up homeless.

I know a lot about homelessness. I spent nearly six years homeless and before that had a college class through SFSU called Homelessness and Public Policy and I still run several blogs on the topic, though I update them less than I used to as my focus has shifted to trying to solve the housing shortage that is a root cause of homelessness in the US.

Liked the article, but did anyone else find it odd they’re asking you to do a ‘Depth Year’ in a… Facebook group?

The concept sounds appealing, but a Facebook group is one of the last places I would associate with finding ‘depth’ (Slack or Discord being a close second and third).
I think you're missing a golden opportunity here. You can take all the people who agree with the commenter you're talking to and put them in giant Tokyo-style megacities, with ultra high-speed rail, blazing-fast internet, free housing, the works. Then we can tear down the cities, towns, and suburbs they moved out of, establish a bunch of small towns with lots of forest and prairie, and produce goods for them to consume, on the condition that they stay in their megacities.

It would be like a Morlock/Eloi situation, except that we'll all be Morlocks. They'll do the missile defense systems and the smartphone OS's, and I'll grow the corn and mine the rare earth minerals. We can all even adopt a bicameral government, one that governs areas of population density above a certain value and one that governs areas below a certain value.
I think more often than not that "existing public transportation" is a bus that goes to a pretty limited subset of the city, 2-3 times an hour. If you happen to be going to somewhere on that line and leaving near a scheduled departure, great, but you'll still want your car for the many times you're not.

Modern computing architectures tend to be very similar. They use a process called high level emulation(HLE) where API calls to the emulated kernel, subsystems, graphics driver are basically "translated" to the host system, which allows for the high speeds and relative accuracy that lets games run beautifully. In the end, the only "traditional" emulation you'd be seeing is the CPU for the switch, which is a 64bit ARM CPU, and translated into x86 via a JIT.

If you think about wine and dxvk, it's pretty much the same concept, without the need to emulate a CPU.

On the contrary, Higan uses low level emulation(LLE), wherein the actual hardware of the system is emulated as faithfully as possible, which is very CPU intensive.
CPU cycle accurate is why bsnes experiences framedrop, you basically emulate hardware at the software level. Dropping the scope to “just run the software”, and the level of abstraction you need to emulate is higher and would require less power to do so.

Additionally, modern console might use the same hardware as PCs themselves (I don’t know how close they are), so let’s say if a console is using x86 already on a linux-based machine, then your job to write emulator would be to only implement whatever missing on the os, passing through everything else to be ran natively

I shared this feeling when I was young, but a disillusionment with skyscrapers crept in as I increasingly recognized that although they are symbolically prominent and physically dense, they don't operate as communities that integrate in a broader sense. Office districts are ghost towns after commute hours; condo tower residents mostly stay behind their doors. The built infrastructure is reduced to the functional aspect of warehousing people like so many goods, and other types of spaces are found only by leaving the tower, turning walks into commutes. On many levels, they are industrial achievements, equivalents to the factory and railroad. And each of these structures has their beauty, but in all cases, they remind us of ourselves, and not of nature.

A world of steel-glass-concrete is incomplete in this sense, and I now see the appeal of low-rise neighborhoods that can distill a mixture of energies and create lively street scenes, quiet parks, and so forth.
"Known" is the key word. You can randomize an FPGA design's layout and synthesis details, and it is impractical to implement dynamic reverse engineering of the design in order to patch it (certainly in an undetectable way - that's more compute power you'd need than was available to begin with). That's the premise behind Precursor, that users can run their own randomized bitstream, not a shared build.

I want to make clear, since everyone appears to have taken issue with what I said.

My ideal model is not suburbia - thats what “LA” is to me. Nor is it NYC a city that has grown way beyond breaking even with return to scale

My ideal model is, for all its problems, Thessaloniki or Bilbao. That is smaller, forgotten European cities.

There your Dr.’s office can be a short walk from home because 6 story buildings are in fact very high density. If need be most inhabitants can walk downtown, but dont need to because public transport can be plentiful and cheap because the city is dimensionally small.

Many would argue that this mentality of scarcity is necessary to ensure that our ecological footprint is negligible.
I understand the point you're trying to make, but transportation cost is not really a relevant point here.

Food of any variety can be locally produced, or it can be sourced through industrial supply chains. Animal and plant products can both have an embedded cost in terms of carbon emissions, water, and usage of arable land. That is to say, a cow, a chicken, and a bunch of potatoes can all be locally sourced, and the costs of production for the cow are going to be much higher.

Moreover, the food we "evolved to thrive on," was likely primarily nuts, seeds, fruits, insects, rodents, and occasionally larger animals like antelope (which would have been eaten nose-to-tail), not fatty steaks from domesticated animals.
