We both agree that a government is made up of citizens, yes? Absent any enforcement mechanism, it would be the natural and logical choice for any one of these citizens to decline to pay their taxes, a classic example of the free-rider problem.

The classic solution to this problem is to create a central authority with the power to compel each citizen to do their fair share. Similarly, the people of California have shown through their votes that they believe the state should take collective action to build enough housing to allow the next generation to move out of their parents' houses.

Absent state action, no city would volunteer to do their share; they would prefer to keep their abundant parking availability and endlessly-rising property values. And so the state steps in to ensure that voters' goal of increased housing production is achieved.
What leads to many Caesareans is the "cascade of interventions" which might include unnecessary induced labor (e.g. if a mother is not dilating "quickly enough"), an early epidural, or continuous EFM. Many of these interventions, including the ones I listed, increase the likelihood of having a Caesarean.

In such a highly emotional situation, many mothers will feel pressured to do what their medical provider recommends. So, yes, it's technically true that it's the mother's decision, but many mothers don't realize they have the right to refuse these interventions, or are too scared to advocate for themselves in these situations, or are not fully aware of the risks -- both to the mother and the baby. In that sense, the decision is largely made by the medical provider, and this decision is often made because of an unnecessary urgency to get the birth done (or other reasons, such as a lack of experience with vaginal births or a fear of being sued, but in any case these reasons are not primarily the mother's). That is the part I was referring to as unethical.

To be clear, if it is medically necessary, a Caesarean should absolutely be done.

They 100% do, because local government regulation has launched the "soft costs" into the stratosphere. A developer has to count on carrying their project for a minimum of 4 years while the city considers their application, their EIR, their design review, their historical resource evaluation, etc etc etc. Even when projects are city-funded, the per-unit costs are generally 600k-1m per unit.

I agree, but I also think we need a fundamentally new paradigm.

It's very important that we as programmers have a good mental model for how the machine works. Abstractions are cool, but it is important to be aware of how your data lives in memory and how the cpu acts on your code, but everything we've been taught in the last few decades is almost irrelevant.

Almost all of us think and write code sequentially. Even with multithreading, your program is generally sequential, and the cpu just doesn't work that way anymore. With all the fancy whizbang branch prediction and superscaling and whatever other black magic, the cpu is fundamentally not sequential.

As a result, compilers are becoming enormous hulking beasts with millions of lines of code trying to translate sequential programs into parallel ones. This kind of defeats the purpose of us having that mental model of the machine. The machine we think we know is not the machine that actually exists.

We need a new set of inherently parallel languages. Similar to the way we program GPUs these days.

The modern cpu is orders of magnitude more complex than anything we've seen before. We need new mental models and new programming paradigms to extract performance the way we used to on sequential processors.

Even for embedded applications, microcontrollers increasingly feature things like multiple instructions per cycle, branch prediction, and multiple cores are much more common these days.

I think we're stuck in a shitty place in between two wildly different worlds of computing. We aren't willing to make the leap to the new, so we live in this rapidly crumbling ecosystem trying to adapt 50 year old code to superscalar hyperthreading gigacore x86 processors.

The amount of wasteful code and technical debt in every one of the systems underpinning our society is truly unimaginable in its scale. There is no path forward from here except to burn it all down and begin again with a fundamentally new way of looking at things. Otherwise, it's all going to come crashing down sooner or later.

Alingment is leading whitespace that is expected to match the width of some non-whitespace text above, indentation is leading whitespace that is just expected to match all other indentations (* level). When indentation is scaled through editor reconfiguration, alignment should stay the same.

What I think gp is underestimating is just how much alignment there was in the old days, and how little (compared to now) indentation. From today's perspective, indentation is the norm and alignment is the rare exception. Your question is a good illustration: sounds like you never met alignment, or at least never noticed it. But back then, alignment was a very regular occurrence and the extra diligence required for getting all the tabs and blanks right to look nice on different tab widths, or the ugliness from failing to get the mix right would have been a considerable cost. Avoiding unpredictably wide tabs was a reasonable call.

Ever since I read some stuff feynman wrote years ago about computing it seems like quantum computing and/or max energy efficiency would be achieved if information was not destroyed.

Regular Rust code uses references almost exclusively. (Unless you're working in kernel space or building fancy data structures.)

The big difference between C++ and Rust is what happens when you get something wrong. C++ has lots of undefined behavior and nasty surprises for the unwary. (I led a C++ project for a decade and saw it all.) In Rust, if you get something wrong, the compiler typically refuses to compile it. Which is also very frustrating, but the frustration is all up front.
Perhaps I'm being overly optimistic but I actually believe the tide is turning on Prop 13 and it may well get repealed in the next decade. I'd probably still bet it won't be repealed but I feel like there's a real chance.

"Throwing seniors out of their homes" was effectively used to give incumbent homeowners a massive tax break. Worse, it gave Disney a massive decades-long tax break. What people often don't talk about with respect to Prop 13 is how it benefitted corporations.

Corporations end up owning property in LLCs and they simply buy and sell the LLCs. This doesn't technically count as a transfer (which would trigger a revaluation for tax purposes) so Disney in Anaheim is paying a tax rate for their theme park that was capped (with 1-2% max annual increases) in the 1960s.

The other horrible part is you can inherit a decades-old preferential tax rate. I mean, you wouldn't want to kick people out of their parents' home would you?

California needs to be more like Texas in this regard. Reassess for property tax frequently. Allow property tax deferral for seniors who don't want to move. And there's no beneficial tax rate to inherit.

More plant growth and less loss to pests. But the sun is free and agricultural land is cheap, so I know of few plants (other than the obvious one) that are economical to grow this way.
People probably “just want more daylight” which involves changing the earth’s tilt. We’ll ignore that option for now and look at Seattle. On Jan 1, google says Seattle gets 8.5 hours of daylight. If we want kids to go to school in light, say 7:00am, that means sunset occurs about 3:00pm which is probably before they go home. Conversely, if we want them coming home in twilight, they’re out there in the dark awaiting dawn at 7am. I’m not sure there’s a good answer which time to standardize on.

Is changing that bad? I’ve travelled to Europe and Japan from North America as well as bouncing around n America. These involve shifts (far) larger than one hour and it takes a few days to adapt. Given that most people get up later on the weekend than during the week, they’re doing the 1+/- hour shift every week…

Is this a mountain out of a molehill?
That's not really true. When some people claim you must learn category theory to use Haskell, they mean they have to learn the math-subject-capital-letter Category Theory, which goes way beyond programming and comes with a lot of baggage.

They never mean you have to learn Functor, Applicative, etc as used in Haskell and taught in every tutorial. If they did mean the latter, it would be a tautology, which is not very useful.

Compare "in order to do OOP you have to learn what an object truly is, its essence, and possibly take some courses on the philosophy of being" vs "you have to learn about methods and objects".

> It's like saying "you can learn how to do unions, intersections, and differences on collections of unique objects without understanding set theory".

You can totally do unions, intersections and differences without knowing set theory.
I think there's room in the gaming world for both DF and Rimworld.

I don't see it as a problem that DF hasn't sold millions of copies (or any copies?) or that it has taken as long as it has to produce a version with a better gui and fix various performance and menu diving issues.

As I see it the Steam version offers a better UI and performance and fixes some issues, and (hopefully) provides some revenue to keep development going.

The meat water usage is often greatly exaggerated.

For example, quite a lot of meat and feed for meat production is produced in Iowa where there is virtually zero irrigation and the water table comes up to the surface and not only do we not conserve water, we put down grids of porous pipes in the ground to drain rainwater faster.

No water shortages are affected by this at all, you southwest state people aren’t downstream.

There aren’t water shortages everywhere. Plenty of places it rains quite enough.

I wasn't having an argument, merely saying that no one has ever been able to present a conservative idea that Twitter has not widely publicised, let alone banned outright.

The dangerous misinformation about Covid that Twitter didn't want to publish is not a conservative idea at all; both conservatives and progressives fell victim to it and spread it. I think that there were more conservative victims because these days people who more easily believe conspiracy theories are more likely to be conservative, but that correlation is purely accidental and wasn't always the case. Certainly there is no conservative content to stories about chips in vaccines or miracle cures.

As to vandalism and violence, I was pointing out that not every action that's performed concurrently to expressing an opinion is just an expression of a belief (if I mutilate you, that I'm doing so to carve "Biden 2024" on your chest doesn't make my action protected political speech). So the fact that some people were sanctioned while expressing some ideas doesn't mean that the ideas themselves are the sole cause for their punishment, which is why I keep looking for any conservative idea that isn't expressed on Twitter. For example, the opinion that there are only two genders is widely expressed on Twitter without censorship, yet misgendering individuals could be sexual harassment performed in the course of expressing that opinion.

Two jumps? So 1.5M died?

But you are correct, it's cumulative, so without Covid you'd expect max ~100,000 more deaths per year (aging population), so the baseline would be

2019 - 2.8M (+0 excess deaths)

2020 - 2.9M (+500k excess deaths)

2021 - 3.0M (+400k excess deaths)

So 900k.

Even if that was true, it would be irrelevant in this context, since we are talking about the cost of a hypothetical program that would be enacted through State law, not private action by developers. And State law can (as demonstrated by things like the builders remedy) suspend or otherwise bypass local administrative barriers.
