I've always wondering why can't some architects build small, twisted, imperfect, or maybe just small.

In particular, in Japan here are lots of older buildings or collections of buildings with tiny businesses. At some point developers come in, bulldoze the place, put up a high-rise building. The bottom 1-3 floors of the building have shops, but they are all 4x larger than the shops they displaced. The result is those shops end up being 90% chain stores such that there's now nothing drawing anyone to the new building (well, there are tenants).

My wish is that some architect would break with convention, build the bottom 1-3 floors with tiny spaces and then be hailed as the new fashion in architecture and see it spread.

Sure it's not the old imperfection, but I'd hope given smaller spaces you'd get the variety that was there before.

As an example here's a spot in Shibuya in 2009

https://www.google.com/maps/@35.6628366,139.7024402,3a,75y,1...

You should be able to move the timeline to 2022 and see it now.

Before there were 10 tiny indie businesses. Now there is 2 chain restaurants, 1 chain supermarket, one chain clothing store. (though at least they have 3 varying food trucks for lunch)

OTOH, I personally love much modern architecture.

Fuck Adams. Someone should make an online fundraiser for her already.

Here's the video [1], and they literally stole her product too.

For what it's worth, what she was doing isn't inherently illegal, it's just that she didn't have a permit for it.

And that's probably because the number of permits is capped: someone decided NYC needs only so many street vendors, an assumption contradicted by the patrons of like 20,000 people making their living that way [2].

Around 2012 there were all kinds of static prebuilding frameworks rising again, and by 2014ish pandoc was very popular already.

Personally I switched around 2015 to writing most of my web pages in markdown (well, or commonmark) because I got fed up of repeating myself too often in HTML.

VIM isn't a great IDE for HTML and all its syntax highlighting quirks either, which contributed to the markdown migration.

The beauty of markdown is that it's so lightweight, you can use it for dynamic lazy loading as well. There's almost zero overhead for layouting information for the text if you do it right.

The scale was probably different from that example. I don't know if it's possible to narrow down what the exact pitches were - did the pipes contain a stopper made from a less durable material (as is often the case with pan pipes)? The article mentions an experimental reconstruction was made in a pentatonic scale, though that scale might be a guess rather than a certainty.

Except that you basically have a photograph to the deed of your house. The deed to your house is not normally considered a bearer certificate, so if you lose it, the property tax office can issue you another one.

In fact, your possession of the deed doesn't really entitle you to anything. While you assume that law enforcement would accept it as proof, they do not have to, and ultimately judges and the county registration system decides who owns what. And it's not even all that straightforward in some cases.

So sure, your deed to your house. Okay.
You still owe capital gains on the original proceeds, deferred a few years and with a possible 10-15% basis step up. This isn't zero capital gains tax.

If you happen to have a billion dollar exit on your reinvested capital gains that can be tax free, but you're still paying tax on the original gain.
You disingenuously left out the first half of the definition:

“the theory of knowledge, especially with regard to its methods, validity, and scope.”

An epistemological debate would be over whether empiricism and the scientific method are even valid “ways of knowing”, whether “religious ideology” and “faith” were themselves valid forms of knowledge, et al.

I addressed your question about the application of the scientific method to trust the science, not the scientists.

We were not engaged in a discussion of epistemological theory, and your response is exactly the kind of two-bit sophistry I was referring to.

There's a difference if you DCA a broad index and a single thing.

The broad index will, most likely, be positively skewed and still be around in 20 years. DCA makes a lot of sense.

The single stock may just go bankrupt, or become smaller and never recover (think Kodak or Nokia). DCA does not make as much sense.

I do understand the point of running SQLite in-process to speed up reads.

I do not understand why SQLite must also handle intense write load with HA, failover, etc.

I would rather have the best of both worlds: a proper DB server (say, Postgres) replicated to super-fast and simple read replicas in SQLite on every node.

(My ideal case would be some kind of natural sharding where each node keeps its own updates, or just a highly available data browsing app, with data in SQLite files updated as entire files, like a deploymen.)

Please note that i have no strong opinion whether the complaint is objectively true, complete nonsense, or only the subjective understanding of the person making the complaint. I do not have such an opinion, because i have not read any one of the winning books and will not make any argument about their content or major themes based on one sentence summaries.

Also, i don't particularly care about "People", you may say you have seen them, but they could all be made of straw as far as i know. If you think you can convince me by denouncing the top poster, you must have missed my entire point about eristic. I do however agree that people on all sides of every discussion can be stupefyingly annoying.

And i agree that the absolute claim seems unlikely. When looking for a counter example I would pick up the history winner about Cuba, but again i would prefer to read it first before talking about it. In a debate we could ask the one making the argument to provide detailed reviews of all the books, however we would still need to read them to verify the answer. And that doesn't work well in internet debates where it is normal for people to shout bold claims and leave.
I'd add security to the list of things to address.

You get SQL and ACID. If you don't need those then you pay a performance price for having them. If you do need them, then you pay a price for not having them.

The best solution depends on the unit economics of the problem you are trying to solve. If you have a small number of high value users, then these approaches are premature optimisation, just use Postgres. If your business model is ad eyeballs then squeezing every last drop begins to seem very attractive because you can multiply your profitability (potentially).
When We Ceased to Understand the World by Benjamin Labtaut
It does get abused, but IMO the abuse of perceived scientific authority is far more important. At the end of the day, who really cares if some random college friend doesn't believe in the scientific consensus on black holes? His opinion has zero impact on anything at all. On the other hand, when bad science gets elevated to near-religious status, we get horrific outcomes.

I'm 1000x more afraid of the regime that can persuade some random college friend to mouth the mainstream opinion on black hole structure than I am that this guy wants to believe something that might not be true, especially in a field that will never have any impact on any of our daily lives.

This is where your argument breaks down. Gerrymandering has completely eliminated this as a reasonable belief in most places.

Most voters don't even care about issues, they care about parties, their team. As such, they don't care or want to incentive anything except their own team winning.

If most people want abortion to be legal, the government can simply legalize it.

The US at least is prepared for this. But bringing down sats will only happen in an open war between advanced adversaries.

Somehow I doubt that knowing how to move parens conveniently in your editor are "the two most important things to start with when learning Lisp". Seems like understanding list representation, that values, functions, and expressions are completely interchangeable, and that absolutely every expression returns a value/function/expression, are more important.

(Long time lisp programmers, rarely use fancy editor functions like slurp. First off, moving parens over s-expression isn't that common an action. And we get really good at seeing where we need the parens and just ^sing there. The most important commands are fwd/bkwd- and kill/yank- s-expression, and of course blinking paren matching.)
Sounds interesting. Is there a TLDR for this?

You like the ideology that won. That’s fine. Politics is about winning and crushing your enemies and their aspirations in favor of your own desires.

> “It’s wrong to force people into childbirth against their will” holds up well as a coherent, objective moral value statement.

Those who want to get abortions aren't being forced into childbirth against their will, unless there was rape involved.

Pro-abortion activists seem to think they only have (or ought to have) a choice after they're already pregnant. The real choice was months earlier.
Those who refuse to look through telescopes (because the evidence might upset their treasured notions of reality) have always been around. I wondered whether that particular story about Galileo's contemporaries was apocryphal, but it appears to have some fairly solid evidence:

However, note that 'science denial' has been an attack used by all manner of charlatans and fraudsters - as well as by people who are simply ignorant of facts - to defend their positions throughout our so-called 'age of reason'. This has often led to the spectacle of two different groups of perhaps well-intentioned (or not) people hurling the insult of 'science denialist' at each other while refusing to engage in actual science, i.e. examining observational data, conducting experiments, developing theories, rinse and repeat.

Part of the problem is that science often reveals facts that powerful interests don't want to accept, for example, that smoking cigarettes greatly increases the risk of lung cancer, or that burning fossil fuels leads to warming of the planet and climatic destabilization, or that using antibiotics on factory farms increases the rate at which antibiotic resistance arises (due to the pressure of natural selection as per evolutionary theory). These outfits have made a practice of hiring deceptive and dishonest 'scientists' for PR purposes, because simply accepting the science would be expensive and/or embarrassing, and they're the ones who tend to scream 'science denialism!' the loudest.

Hence it is not a very useful phrase, and it's always better to be explicit about what particular scientific concept you view as being subjected to attack on dubious grounds.
It's an interesting question. I know that ink bleed was taken into account in type design, which actually led to some early digital versions of classic typefaces being poor renditions because they were too literally following the cuts of the metal and ended up being too thin.

The traditional rationale I come across is that serifs "lead the eye," but I have no idea if there's any real research about that. There's probably some truth to broadly stereotyping sans-serif fonts as generally more legible and serif fonts as generally more readable -- but I'm sure there's a myriad of exceptions. (Like, uh, Myriad, a sans-serif explicitly designed to be good for body text.)

Almost anybody who has used a computer before can, in about an hour, quickly compile text and pictures in an animated sequence to present to their team (after they forgot it's demo day) with a thing called PowerPoint.

what made it click for me was that the bike was completely unusable without a subscription

That's why I went with a Keiser bike instead of Peloton, it was the same price for the bike, but no subscription needed, and I can easily use it with any spinning app. Plus I didn't like having a big expensive display on the bike, the Keiser has a simple 4 line LCD display.

I like the Peloton instructors, so I subscribe to the Peloton service, but I only pay $13/month for it (which makes the $40/mo they charge to Peloton bike owners seem like even more of a ripoff). I track my workouts with my watch, so if they raise the price too much, I'm not tied at all to Peloton and I'll just switch to another service.
