No, insulae were where everyone except the wealthy lived in urban environments including the upper middle classes. And what you're describing is what my city calls "mixed use" and is a corner stone of how apartments work in a lot of modern cities. Small apartments packed in tight above commerical spaces, with the commercial spaces disconnected economically from those living there except from sharing a landlord. The largest difference to today being that the moderately wealthy (ie. upper middle class that still lived in insulae) preferred the lower residential floors, which is a trend that continued until the advent of elevators.
Americans are happy to foot the bill to house, feed, provide medical care, education, etc by throwing homeless people in jails.

Cut out the jail. Put the exact same dollar amount towards universal health, food, income, and education programs.

> and rather than building massive centers of steel production which could be destroyed with a single bomb, they distributed/decentralized it amongst their immense country and population

Fun idea, except it (predictably) didn't work at all, because producing steel isn't economically feasible without massive economies of scale.
Having housing (whether prison or an apartment) is a prerequisite to get Andre to stop stealing, but it's not sufficient alone. If our prison system was rehabilitative in the slightest, it would be a good place to keep Andre from harming society. Instead, it's a highly expensive way of temporarily keeping him from harming society until he gets out, and returns to stealing.

The left doesn't seem to have any well formed ideas on actually replacing/reforming the current prison system with something that doesn't have horrible recidivism rates. Obviously there are alternatives but they don't seem politically viable in America. Instead, cities have focused on prosecuting less, which avoids inflicting more cruelty but allows other injustice to persist. At least in the short term, ignoring the problem uses a lot fewer tax dollars than actually implementing solutions.

It would not be an improvement if Andre didn't have an apartment. Then you'd have the same problem as now, except that Andre would have no option but to sleep in a tent in a park, which would make life worse for everyone that uses that park.

Creating affordable low income housing makes the city better for everyone and it's a necessary first step towards solving the sort of problems Andre has.
Not sure if Seattle is the same but San Francisco has tax incentives for companies that open offices in under-served areas.

Intel Arrow Lake may be competitive with M2 Pro, maybe M2 Max.
Amdahals law is sometimes brought out as a whammy (not saying that is what you do), but economically we would expect that there will be a usage for this extra compute: we did it server side by hosting SAAS and thereby adding more users than anybody could think of.

I suspect that rather than 1000 cores we might start to see more levels of cores, and hardware for more things. Already Apple has video encoding support. AI seems an obvious idea and it scales much better than most classical computing.

If I may bring up something that may be more of a wish: I wish that we could give up the idea of shared memory and we could have many more cores that communicated by shared messaging. We are already seeing this spread with webworkers - if it became cheap to create a new thread and computers weren't bottlenecked then maybe more games would use it too.

Do you have an example of the groups ( = output) and what you are using as variables for input ?

Eg. Wouldn't KNN be easier if you want to classify new groups later on? I'm probably missing something, but defining the groups upfront seems more labor intensive ( note: novice in this area )

I grew up in a big city myself, but I have a second degree connection with people who grew up in the SF Tenderloin, and it looks like it did make them wary of people. I've also noticed that this is common for people who grew up in the bad parts of Oakland: they think everyone is going to scam them. Also, in my experience, people who grew up in the country are wary of people who don't look like them, and folks from diverse cities (like London) are very inclusive of people. So to me there's some sort of curve where both isolation and living in the worst part of cities leads to some sort of automatic trust loss.

I want my children to be trusting (I expect them to be scammed some number of times and survive the experience) so it does make me consider where I want to live where they can experience independence, other children, and end up secure people.
Homebrew is a subpar choice on macOS; MacPorts is faster, has more packages, and is implemented more correctly than Brew.

Additionally, MacPorts was co-created by an engineer who also created the original FreeBSD Ports system, and thus hews much more closely to standard UNIX/BSD practices.

I’m not sure how and when Homebrew became the standard, but it is definitively worse.

Ukraine wasnt a possession of Russia before. Finland is not a posession of Russia either.

It wouldnt be a possession by remaining neutral.

In case it's not abundantly clear invasion is not the price of staying neutral. The invasion is the price of admission to NATO.

I've been trying since the 90s. I became a Linux expert, but I've still failed to switch to Linux. The reasons are probably: (A) The mythos of Microsoft collecting all of our information and storing it until the end of time seems incredibly unrealistic to me (B) I don't like friction, Linux is full of unnecessary friction to get anything done (C) Lack of commercial programs, and a user base that is actively hostile to the idea of commercial software (FOSS is better, don't you know?) and/or hostile to changes that would make commercial software more viable on Linux (D) Difficulty in actually fixing things, which I have tried to do many times (the Linux ecosystem is built from some truly awful codebases) (E) constant glitches and bugs, which I don't have time to track down and fix
Since threads about topics like this often have a very similar vibe regardless of forum, I would like to make one ask:

Please, remember that actual people live here and not just bits displayed on a screen. Also remember that these are incredibly complex problems and that any solution you type into this text box is not going to be easy to implement, easy to track, or easy to push to resolution. Life is not a set of Jira tickets.

I have lived inside the city limits of Seattle virtually my entire life. Except for a brief stint in Texas for work, Seattle has been home. Seattle, like all cities, has its warts and problems. The absolutely staggering level of income and wealth inequality we have experienced in the last decade has taken all of those problems and multiplied them tenfold.

Seattle is a beautiful city with a lot to offer...which is why tens of thousands of people move here every year.

Should there be crime on 3rd Ave? No. Should there be crime anywhere? No. But, finally, please remember that agendas exist and are being pushed and, bluntly, Amazon has a lot of arrows in its quiver if it wants to make a proper good influence on our shared hometown. Odd that it so rarely uses those arrows, except for press releases.

I'm not making a case either way. I'm stating why I think this is being raised as an issue. You are absolutely right in that moving the conversation to be about the relationships of the two countries makes a big difference in how one may feel about the ethics of the issue. People do place a great stock in loyalty and friendship, even among nations.
>The phrase 'ethnic tension' to me usually means...

This is why it shouldn't be used. Using terms that usually mean one of a range of different things makes an article unclear. It has nothing to do with being "bad" or "derogatory."
So in what case in your mind is Andre responsible for his own actions here? It sounds like your solution is only to give him more and more handouts and expect a different result, when it doesn't sound like anything has worked for him in the past.

> spending time in jail for... stealing a pack of diapers?

That's disingenuous at best. These people steal hundreds of items and setup tables selling them. This isn't a mother stealing formula or diapers for her child. It's a criminal operation stealing stuff by the trash bag (as we have seen in many videos over the past few years) in cities with very loose theft laws (mostly on the west coast).
When has that ever stopped anyone from complaining?

I like this idea in theory, but in practice I'm not sure if it does much to prevent major conflict.

If I recall correctly, the "interconnectedness" of Europe of the Early 1900s was thought to be the reason that a large war was not possible.

Perhaps increased trade will help nations to settle smaller disputes via diplomacy but the outbreak of war seems to be something can defy rational explanation. That is, we can't always expect that the leaders and citizens of aggressor countries are making rational decisions.
You’ve succeeded to say in the same sentence that the city was doing an appalling job while asking the company to fund their plans, and that it’s the company’s fault for showing the city that they can leave if it keeps worsening.

Maybe Amazon can deal with people fighting against capitalism and the very idea of ownership, but levying taxes to fund a nogo zone (where people get shot), is not a project that Amazon wants to fund?
SoDo is pretty sketch too. Lots of people living in RVs that won't move. The McDonald's has a bouncer and the bathroom has uv lighting. Tents on the side of most freeways. There's a lot of Seattle where this isn't the case, but I don't think it's 4 nines nice.
Certainly people not understanding vehicle dynamics can be an issue. This sort of information should be added to the test - just like for a CDL you need to understand how loads, grades, and gearing works beyond just the laws around them. So the test shouldn't just be about the law. And I'd argue many do not know the law when the test is only 50 questions and there are many more laws/signs/etc than 50.
All inspections are a joke.

It's a fundamentally poor use of resources.

The overwhelming majority of accidents are caused by things people knew were dumb and did anyway. Shaking down everyone with a 10yo+ car to the tune of one random suspension/steering part a year won't change that. Chasing the long tail of equipment failure will do nothing to address the judgement related accidents so even if you magically solved 100% of equipment accidents you've still only affected a tiny fraction of all accidents.
> A while ago, my wife got a call from a collections agency on my phone.

I occasionally get calls on my number from a caller asking for my brother.

My standard response has always, from the first time one came in, been: "there is no one at this number by that name".

> You may send a letter, ...

If one /ever/ gets a call from anyone purporting to be a "collections agency" then this ("send a letter") is the /only/ correct response that should ever be given. You may want/need that legal record later.
You're off by one in the initial seed step. Change

to

The original is not using the for loop in the usual way so i starts off one smaller than expected.
The only bad part about Make is that it doesn't provide even the most basic utilities for doing cross platform work like removing a directory. It mostly works with Unix, but writing a Makefile that works on Windows and Unix is really hard.

If Make had just a few more batteries included, it would be perfect. However, maybe adding those batteries would take away from its other qualities.

Whether I "need" it or not depends on how much of my future customer base I estimate will be EU-based.

Believe me, I don't think these laws are very well structured (they're not even clear enough that you have to dig through 15 different sources and recent court rulings to figure out what to do) and I don't want to add complexity to my setup, but I am trying to grow my business: if it works out financially with enough new EU customers, then the headache could be worth it.

>The logic being presented here is that because the government has only given them free housing and not a free place to play basketball, it's reasonable to expect that they'll fill their days selling stolen goods. By building somewhere to shoot hoops, the problem could be solved.

This is a strawman - expect the strawman here is Andre. When, during the course of this interview, did Andre become a city planner? Why are you taking his suggestion so literally?

You have successfully quoted the problem ("he has struggled with homelessness on and off since he was 14"), but then refuse to actually address it. Someone who has been homeless since 14 is not going to magically become better without significant resources expended. Someone who has been homeless since 14 is probably someone who is very difficult to reintegrate into society and likely has problems holding down an actual job. The "solution" for Andre is likely therapy and education, the latter which he missed during his developmental years. To try and fix issues like these is very expensive and can only be done on a case by case basis.

The people who believe "homelessness is an issue that can be solved by throwing free housing at people" are looking to avoid creating these types of individuals instead of "fixing" them post-hoc. You aren't going to fix a problem exacerbated over 20 years by a policy change in 2.

I don't blame those who live there (or in any cities like SF), as I personally don't believe the problem was caused by Amazon or any other tech company; I understand the frustration of dealing with people who think homelessness was personally caused by Jeff Bezos. Both are just side effects of policy changes and tech advancements that happened decades ago; and in the same vein I think solutions to homeless must consider approaches on the same time scale.
Maybe we need a different sort of jail, one where things are kinda nice
EU doesn't have the moral high ground yet when it is still importing energy resources from Russia. Putin hasn't changed overnight. He was always sinister. Pipelines and refineries were built over last several years. This is a shock reaction but economics doesn't work on its basis, rather planning and counter-planning. As for your comment:

> Saudi Arabia is not Russia,

In many ways it is worse in human rights track record.

> Russia is invading a democratic country

Saudis attacked Yemen. Yemenis are suffering too. And then there are other stunts like kidnapping a prime-minister, murdering a well-known Saudi American journalist, phone hacking internationally, exporting/ funding Islamic militancy etc. List is equally long and dishonorable.

> that is a part of the western world and like it or not Europeans can relate to Ukrainians.

I think this is where your argument was gravitating to. tl;dr

> People care more when their friend gets sick vs someone they don't know. Plus, Ukraine conflict just got a lot of traction and is extremely popular.

That's saying some genocides like Eritrea, Rohingyas or Uyghurs aren't worth the same as Ukraine because we don't get social media updates. If TikTok is your standard, this is a poor hill to die on.
EDIT: Never mind I misread someone's comment and it is too late to delete since I got a response.
i wonder if the distinction is that, beyond some size, it needs to be recursive?
I would assume that kids need to learn similar stuff to what they will use in real life.

Scratch looks close enough to Python and JS but made visual that I'm not sure I see the issue. Is there not already a math class in school where people go to learn the low level information?

CS and programming are separate. If we don't work in simple languages with clear axioms, then why not teach what people actually use?

Lambda calculus is probably a fantastic tool to really understand the deep fundamentals and theory though. But I'm not sure starting at a low level like that is the best.
> At some point, compassion has failed and incarceration is the only solution.

The US has a higher incarceration rate than other developed countries, while also maintaining higher crime/violence rates. It doesn't seem to be a good solution to the crime problem. Does Andre get out of prison? What then?

It may be more accurate to say, "At some point incarceration has failed and compassion is the only solution."
TLDR: racial gaps have widened, not narrowed. The district talks about enrollments, not achievement.

The number of students passing Algebra 1 went up, but this is probably because they got rid of the exit exam previously required. Of course the district typically doesn't mention this important fact.
> Why waste fuel moving organic waste to a central location

The point of this whole post is Fertilizer. You eventually have to collect the distributed waste (or compost fertilizer) to a a centralized place. Caveated that the resulting mass could be decreased, but also lose the opportunity to make compost tea, feeding any edible mass to animals, or vermicomposting to get even richer output.

Also lets not discount the distributed cost to teach millions of people how to properly blend (mix grass with food waste etc), turn (else you can either cause fires or create methane), harvest (when's it done), and then redistribute the output.

Yes we could all become home gardeners, but then expect to see our GDP to decline as Software engineers, Lawyers, architects et al. star doing "farm work" and labor.
What is your auth and session story? Because I doubt you're implementing OIDC, JWT, etc. in a cgi script vs. relying on a modern framework that does all the work for you. HTTP basic auth? Well, there's your security issue right there.

So presumably you are happy to have a web accessible endpoint running on your server that will pop a new process and start executing a local script (which might be reading/writing files, other services, etc.) without checking any permissions, enforcing any cross site scripting or CSRF protections, etc. It might be fine for the most trivial appplication. For anything that actually changes state or has side effects, I would be very concerned and it would never pass a serious security review.
For me compiling usually is something like `cargo build`, `ng build`.

I remember having problems with libs that require installing & registering a library somewhere such that CMake can find it. However, I distanced myself a bit from C(++), so that doesn't really happen anymore :)

I avoid mingw, don't use any package manager besides Windows Store (if you want to call that a package manager).

Can't complain. Sometimes, there is stuff that simply doesn't support Windows -> WSL.
When there is docker, it doesn't matter anyways...

My strategy is don't fight Windows and you'll be happy
> When you punish someone for shoplifting sufficently enough: That means for the time that they're now occupied they can't shoplift, and others do not see continued shoplifting for them. (This is also how violent crimes work as well..)

Honest question: how do we know that this works? And more importantly, where does incarceration as a deterrent not work (e.g. where are the bounds)? Do you have a source?
