If it's anything like what's happening in Chicago, what happens is a mix of existing multi-unit buildings being torn down and replaced with single-family homes or 2-3 unit luxury condos, and whole swaths of existing 2- and 3-flat buildings comprising maybe 15 or 20 affordable units being torn down to make room for apartment/condo developments with 20 luxury apartments, but only two of them designated as affordable housing.

You misread their statement. They said "8 degrees". With 8 C increase in temperature, what they described could very much happen. We expect 4 C worst case, which is why we do not need to worry about extinction. I think they are saying that we do not need to worry about more than 4 C increase exactly because people in the past fought for the cause, and if they stopped fighting the same way today some people feel resignation and want to stop fighting, even 4 C would have been too optimistic. The fact that people in the past did not resign themselves to the status quo is why we do not need to worry about an 8 C increase.

Keep in mind that corporations are extremely focused on short term profits. Home builders would love to build every single person a home and make tons of money, even if it wasn’t a long term business. Add in the potential for convincing people to buy a new house every 20 years like cars and you’ve got a major profit center.

Why aren’t they building these homes? How are they being stopped? Typically the thing that is stopping homes from being built is governmental restrictions on how many homes can be built (ie zoning laws).

> I know downloading copyrighted material into RAM still counts as a violation,

Maybe in some jurisdictions, but I’m pretty sure many places exclude copies necessary for the operation of the software to not be violations of copyright law.

I mean, extend the same reasoning to web pages. Your web browser downloads a web page (let’s pretend this does not count as a copy). It keeps the HTML in an in-memory cache. The browser then sends the HTML to its internal renderer, which renders the page. Boom, a copy of the HTML (or at least a derived work of it) now exists in the renderer. Have you now violated the copyright of the page author?
No, they would be in the center of the city where it is currently illegal to do it.

I was laid off during the covid crash, and was devastated. I spent a month recovering from burnout, then got started on making some money of my own with web apps. The apps were simple, but made enough money to pad my savings. They used browser automation to jump in front of shopping queues at popular web stores like sneaker heads or hype beasts shop at, or analyzed rudimentary crypto trends using machine learning. It was fulfilling to work on what truly interested in me, and the meager money gave me time to regain my footing.

When it came time to look for new employment, companies were generally impressed with my ability to make money in new and creative ways. My advice now to people struggling to break into the industry is to make some money with programming however they can. Coders who can Leetcode their way out of an algorithm are a dime a dozen. Programmers who are familiar with the infrastructure modern applications need to handle payments, send emails, preserve data in storage, and maintain uptime as a distributed cloud system, are much more valuable. They stand out from the pack because they are capable of the leadership and innovation that companies desperately need.

Zoning laws don't come out of nowhere. People like living in suburbs, so their governments pass zoning laws that keep the area suburban.

Zoning laws are an expression of preferences by the existing homeowners who want their neighborhoods to retain their current characteristics.

Look at the history of how this happened. The suburbs did not magically appear out of nowhere after WWII against the wishes of the population, and they were not legalized into existence with zoning laws. They were built, people liked them and bought houses in them, and then they passed zoning laws to keep them.

Where's the paper?
Your post seems to imply that solar and wind have not been heavily subsidized.

>Solar + wind arent the same or cheaper, theyre much cheaper.

Wind has received many different government subsidies over time. The GAO found 82 different types of subsidies even 9 years ago: https://www.gao.gov/assets/gao-13-136.pdf

The largest subsidy was likely the production tax credit of $23 per megawatt-hour through the first ten years of a turbine’s operation. I think starting last year that one is being phased out.

But no power source has been as subsidized as roof-top solar. That has never been cheap and won't be cheap in the future. Rooftop solar lives off of huge subsidies from the government. Wealthier home owners are often paid the retail rate for the electricity they sell to the grid and are subsidized by higher electricity bills by those who can't afford to put panels on their roof - sort of a reverse Robinhood scheme.
People hold those preferences because when you live in the burbs you bear less of the cost of the externalities of urban sprawl. Basically, you get more bang for your buck.

The property tax rate is the same for a whole municipality whether you are downtown in high density housing or in the burbs.

You need more roads/public transportation/water mains/gas mains/buried cables etc to serve fewer people in the suburbs.

Make property taxes proportional to the infrastructure required to support a neighbourhood.
It being all about control is spot on.

While it’s possible and maybe even likely that I overrate my own driving ability, I’ve never been in an accident in 20+ years and drive in a paranoid, defensive, assume-everyone-is-crazy style that I feel must push the statistics in my favor quite a bit.

So despite statistics I tend to worry more about other things. I also have a hard time with my 3 year old daughter being driven by others unless I’ve seen their driving firsthand. There are people I know who I flat out won’t allow to drive her and it has created some awkward situations. I will also only let her go in an Uber/taxi if there’s no other option.

Redis is using fork-based save for snapshotting and full replica sync. This means that memory pages are duplicated on write. That consumes more memory than DF implementation that implements algorithmic point-in-time snapshotting. In addition DF was designed to use less overhead memory in its keys table.

In principle I agree whole heartedly. When introducing parallelism and or concurrency into an old language, the "web workers" aproach, or Erlangs actors, to name a decades older reference to a similar idea, should always be considered. The problem with emacs in particular is the use of the buffer as the most versatile data structure. Lot's of data that could live in some data structure lives in some overlay over some part of the buffer. And emacs is built on dynamic variables. Others in this thread have argued to "just refactor" them to lexically scoped variables. But that would decimate the largest vector to adapt and modify the system.

Parallelizing Emacs needs to be a long-term endaveour, as the maintainers of Emacs already said years ago. I think Emacs could learn something from Clojure's story for parallelism. Make data structures immutable by default, and reference them from as few global variables as possible. The "make data structures immutable by default" ship has already sailed, but introducing additional immutable list/vector/map/set data structures with first class syntax support would allow newly written code to prepare for a more parallel future. Such immutable data structures could then be shared between different "ELisp web workers". The "as few global variables story" ship has already sailed, but again ELisp authors would start to consider reducing the number of global variables if it would enable multi-threading.
Your numbers and statements seem logical but can you provide any datasets to support? I’m slightly surprised a random mass shooting would be a higher likelihood than something automotive related.

So I wonder if anybody here could compare what Phoenix has vs Hsinchu in Taiwan. It seems like the closest the US has to what Taiwan has.. (Intel, new TSMC, various other fabs are there).. so making Phoenix the Mecca of semiconductor jobs in the US seems like a pretty smart goal .. while the federal govt loves to spread money around it seems wise to just say let’s be real folks, it’s way easier / efficient to pour gas on an existing fire than to build totally greenfield.. like pump tons of cash into the AZ universities for semiconductor work. But I wonder if people have some history / perspective on why people don’t say “oh you want to work in semi area? Go to Phoenix..”..

That account was registered only two months ago, enough to be classified as such. And actually the account seems to have garnered karma mostly from cryptocurrency criticism (which is a surefire way to get or lose lots of karma in HN).

Sorry for that, I forgot to add an intervening sentence and realized that the comment is better without the (original) second sentence.

(For the context, the removed sentence was roughly "Drew could have gotten far less criticism if he had a roadmap about safety, not necessarily borrow checker but even something like sanitizers or instrumention would suffice". I originally put this sentence to show that the "safety" criticism to Hare is not just from Rust proponents, but it wouldn't work without further quantification.)

Acts are not part of the constitution, they're part of the US code. I'm not even sure that forces you to do this (outside of certain situations like public school, housing, and employment.) In fact the constitutionality of that is questionable.
You can compromise this by having the urban core (often the main tourist area) done in a more “realistic” way and then the rest of the outlying lines done schematically.
Wouldn't this drop housing prices for existing home owners?

As much as I agree with you, I don't think people who are left with expensive mortgage payments for a house worth 1/2 the original purchase price are gonna consider that policy to be the affordable option.

I've lived in Canada and abroad; I've vacationed a few times in the US so I'm amused my commentary is US-centric. The US and Canadian governments are far, far better in terms of hiding corruption than a lot of other ones. But corruption still exists.

There's way more cynicism out there than my commentary. And it would be close to the truth of things.

Edit: you probably haven't heard about the bodies they recently exhumed of native school children that the government poisoned, after they took them away from their parents, abused them, and ultimately killed them, so you might be under the impression that we're all sherry and giggles up here with Trudeau.

Nothing could be further from the truth.
>Then why aren't they taking the time and energy to get those areas rezoned?

Because of well-organized opposition from busy body homeowners. City governments aren't captured by business-interests the way state governments and the federal government are.

>especially if they choose an area far enough out that there are few neighbors to complain.

There are always enough people to complain about anything to kill it. A lot of people oppose anything new in their city entirely- not just in their neighborhood.
It does matter because most of the city of Toronto is zoned to prevent apartment buildings, low-rises, duplex, etc. Only a single family home is permitted.

The only things being built in Toronto are either single family homes, or giant 50 floors condos. It takes YEARS of consultations to build anything in Toronto so developers only bother going through that process for very very high buildings. It's not worth it for the type of higher density apartment of 3-4 stories.

It's called the missing middle, there's a good podcast/article here:

The parent comment put a question mark after "massed."
That's true, but it's also the case that most Canadians (and Americans) would be very dissatisfied with the quality of Japanese housing. Frankly it's crap -- thin walls, single-pane windows even today, no garages, tiny kitchens with two burners and no ovens...

In Japan people are far more reliant on the conscientiousness of their neighbors to maintain a peaceful and quiet environment than people in Canada and the United States are. They also have a low crime rate and safer, cleaner inner cities.

Obviously an entire population lives this way, and it works well for them, but that kind of housing situation would be a hard sell in North America.
Notably housing shortages are a new phenomenon, we weren't having this problem earlier in the century. The only difference between now and then is we have far, far more regulations and zoning rules in the way.

Technically houses are cheaper to build than in the past, knowledge and building materials are more plentiful, and capital markets are more efficient with more banks offering mortgages. So by multiple measures housing should be less of a problem, not worse.

This is the reality we've built by choice, people act like they don't know how we got here. If you go on Reddit they think if we all just became unionized and have more $$ we'd go back to the 1960s and all have houses again. But that problem with housing supply won't go away until we fix the root cause, throwing more wages (or gov money) at it without expanding supply will just increase prices further.
What planet are you on? Vast transient encampments?
That's... one man's opinion and at the absolute extreme end of accepted science. You will find a person willing to have a view on anything if you look hard enough.

If you read mainstream publications, then you will gradually form an opinion, which is that there is a climate emergency, but not that humanity will be destroyed.

Climate doomerism has been a catasrophe, because it means many people have "given up", when things can actually be done. The doomer propaganda jumped off the deep end, and the mainstream media should have called them our on their absurd nonsense years ago.
