This is a very simplistic view. Less people per unit land also means less cars per unit land. Depending on how the roads are designed, you can get a spread out neighborhood with no traffic on your street.

I grew up on a cul-de-sac. There were 8 houses on the street. The only time there was a car on the street is when someone from one of those 8 houses went somewhere. There was zero traffic and the street was safe for kids to play in.

> I've been living in the US for close than a decade now, and it's markedly different.

For what it's worth, the US is huge. I've lived in a number of places around this country, and I can't generalize much of anything between them. This is probably why I love suburbia and you hate it. My neighborhood is awesome and sounds just like you describe your ideal neighborhood to be. It's also suburban by any definition.

Sometimes I wonder if people just assume that all of the US has Midwest-style tract housing that sprawls for miles, or if we're all like California, etc. It's so variable, and the generalizations unhelpful (but hilarious).

It's not wrong. The Fed is explicitly asking for these kinds of layoffs. The fact that they are seeing more layoffs in tech opposed to other industries is part of why the interest rate hikes aren't stopping.

The whole reason why "free" trials auto-charge you at the end is because they know some people will forget to cancel. That's the whole point of a free trial (except those rare cases where they don't have a way to charge you).

Now, this is fine and dandy for $2.99 app. But if the app is $59, it feels predatory.

I think Apple should restrict the auto-charging aspect of trials for apps if the price being charged is above some threshold - let's say $20. For such apps, the trial should just end.
How does that work? Property tax is by city and suburbs are their own cities. For example, my city has implemented has implemented a Mello-Roos for new developments to fund new schools.

I'm not surprised that there is a lot of inertia. No one wants to be the first to recommend changing a 40 year old recipe for pouring concrete damns. But "just an additive" is really underselling it.

The concrete slab was setting so fast, and so strong, that the builders had begun gliding polishing machines over the driest part of the floor while their colleagues were still pouring the other end of the rink.

"Normally, you'd have to wait a week before you could do that," he says. The installation, in October last year, took less than a day.

"By adding as little as 0.1% graphene into cement and aggregate, you can potentially use less material to get the same performance," explains Mr Baker. Reducing the amount of concrete used in construction for instance by 30%, could lower global CO2 emissions by 2-3%, he estimates

To put that 2-3% in perspective, the UKs total CO2 output amounts to 2% of the total. So this tiny little additive to concrete could have massive impact.

Indeed. I sucked at English (as a foreign language) in school. Real progress came from video games / books / later TV shows.

It's perhaps a slower way (unless you go to live for half a year+ in the country and don't use too much the crutch of help available in your languages), but not a harder one (ditto).

Maybe for the very beginning, when you first learn phonetics and alphabet/ideograms, where the "floor" is infamously higher in Japanese for non-~Asians ?
As the batteries are rechargeable and have a lifespan mainly limited by charging cycles, what you're describing turns out to make negligible difference.

Buy enough for e.g. a week of pure battery use, most of days you're using 1/14th of your total capacity, but that makes the system as a whole last almost 14 times longer between battery replacements than a system that only has the capacity to last overnight.

The "residential" road that I live on is (and most in the area are) 45 ft wide, with 2.5' sidewalks. The Hummer H1 is an incredible 7.2 feet wide, meaning you could fit six full-size hummers side-by-side down this road. Add in the mandatory front 30ft setback and you have a sight line that is around 110 feet wide.

People are expected to go up to 30 mph here. They don't.
having high failure rates despite having lots of drives is actually worse - there is the chance the HGST failures are just random chance due to small numbers of drives. But this possibility does not exist for Seagate with much larger statistical samples.

AFAIK there hasn't been much of a difference shown between consumer workloads and enterprise workloads for HDD lifespan either, it's just cope and theorycrafting from people who are emotionally attached to the idea of Seagate not being shit for some reason.

No other drives seem to have such problems with being used in this fashion: what is your theory for why Seagate drives are uniquely affected by being in the pods in some fashion that would not also affect WD drives or HGST drives or whoever else? Are WD drives not affected by vibration for some reason? For a while Seagate Deniers latched onto the first-gen pods as maybe being the answer but they're all long gone at this point, this failure-rate anomaly is continuing even in the newer pods.

The only reasonable possibility would be that Seagate drives are simply constructed in an entirely different, less resilient fashion, which (a) is not factually supported in any way afaik, and (b) would still be very relevant for consumers to know! It's not like a home PC is vibration-free either after all.

There comes a point when it's not "steelmanning" it's just denial of reality in the face of consistent evidence. Like you're not "steelmanning" climate change you're just a denier.

The data has pretty consistently showed the same thing for 10+ years. It's not a "random sampling bias" that uniformly affects everyone except Seagate in the exact same way almost every single survey, it's not some magical factor that makes Seagate drives uniquely unsuited to storage-array usage but magically resilient when used in a home PC, it's not first-gen backblaze pods being bad, it's just Seagate putting out shitty drives, period the end. All these extremely complex theories to get around the very simple conclusion that Seagate has shitty parts or shitty QC and the failure rates are slightly higher as a result.

A lot of the Seagate models are relatively OK, but almost all of the "outlier" drives with really high failure rates are Seagate. It is the old bayesian probability thing: get rid of Seagate and you've gotten rid of almost all of the models with high failure rates.

edit: sorry Samsung on the brain since they have another wave of SSD failures too /laugh
I always write comments, even on code I've written myself it comes in handy.

6 months later I wont remember why the "easy" solution wasn't the path that was taken, or some complexity that needed special handling in a single case that was discovered through a few hours of debugging.

Sure you could write perfect code, but writing out your thought process helps tremendously with understanding a thought process and getting up to speed far faster.
I don’t think parent was denying that, or at least I don’t get a sense of this dichotomy in the text. As someone that lives on Vashon island (what some consider a suburb of Seattle; but I actually consider rural King County), I got the sense that suburbia here was specifically directed at the endless tract of housing one (so like East Bellevue, Kent, or large parts of Kirkland), but not actual small towns around the main city (like Bothel, Lynnwood, Kirkland proper, or—well—Vashon) or even other dense urban areas like Burien or Redmond.

// You should book a trip with your family and visit an european country, with their walkable cities. And then come back and let us know if a suburb – which you can only reach via car and people are mostly inside their houses because there's nothing to do outside – is really preferable to a city where you can actually walk around (and, for kids, actually socialize)

(I am the person you're responding to.) I grew up in Europe and then lived in NYC. So I am extremely familiar with this model. I am also someone who chose to live in the burbs once we had kids.

In Manhattan, my neighbors had ~0 kids on average. In my current town, my neighbors are by and large former NYC residents who have ~3-4 kids on average. Very clearly people with kids are choosing the burbs, despite plenty of experience with the other model, and I expect that most of my neighbors have been to Europe plenty. We know the options.

Also, have you ever been to Europe outside the big cities? You need a car.

And also also, do you have kids? I was much more enthused about city life before I had a family, now I get it.
Now I'm 28 years old, working at a FAANG as a software engineer. It's been a couple of years that I don't have the same curiosity and passion to learn new technical things, outside of work, as I did before.

Why should you? Outside of work, specifically? You probably work eight to ten hour days and have a commute on top of that.

When you were 13 - 20 years old, did you work on programming for eight to ten hours a day, five days a week, 50ish weeks of the year? Probably not.

You've learned so much about programming in your 28 years. There's arguably infinitely more to learn, but it's far less valuable than what you've already learned.

There's also so much more to learn in life. Hobbies, interests outside of technology, travel, language, relationships.

Personally, my passion for programming was killed almost instantly by my first job. I naively looked forward to a future of cooperative work in a team of skilled peers, building great products. Turns out real work is constantly fighting against the apathy and incompetence of others, and management's goal is to force you into submission rather than enable you.

I've always been baffled by this Silicon Valley attitude that everyone is supposed to have some passion project outside of work. I've never heard of another profession where people work full-time and then go home to do more of the same work. How many lawyers go home and then walk around their neighborhood offering free legal advice? How many CPAs go home and crank out some 'fun' tax returns?
> maybe the future just isn't bright anymore, and this is a normal reaction.

I think it's a normal reaction, but there are other normal reactions you could have. Could you be part of the solution? I think people (and software developers in particular) are trained to think that you must be able to fully accomplish something as an individual in your lifetime for it to be worthwhile, but this clearly hasn't always been the case.

Nah some people do. I saw a lady who was letting her infant crawl across an urban road. She gave me the death glare because her child decided to crawl out from underneath a parked vehicle right in front of me and I was only able to avoid it at the last minute because I wasn't expecting crawling babies to pop out from underneath a parked car.
Yes, the mortgage term just determines the amortization of the loan payments. 30-year loans hardly ever reach maturity. In the US, people move on average every 7 years.

A bank would be delighted for a mortgage holder to die, causing the property to be sold and the loan to be repaid, if prevailing interest rates had risen since the loan was created.

It's very sad that OP has been under the impression that age has anything to do with a loan term.
Actually it is mid rises that are most efficient. High rises are very expensive to build. The cheapest construction is good to use for up to about 5 floors (check with a structural engineer for details). As such building 5 floors everywhere should be the goal: it is the cheapest mix of low costs and high density. There is no real advantage to making your city any denser than this.
I think it is this sort of logic that will puzzle aliens the most, should we ever be on speaking terms with any.
My very first thought there was 'here's an example of what could have been ambitious, interesting architecture, except all the public space is devoted to cars instead of people'.
Are there that many people or places though? Even from my small hometown with a population of 300 tucked away in the mountains, there's 5g cell service from the major providers.

I'm certain places like that exist, but I'm guessing it's far less than most would imagine.

My bet is a non-insignificant amount of sirus's money today comes from their model of making subscriptions really annoying to cancel. And, of course, preying on old people that may have forgot about their subscription or don't get streaming.

If you've done any web work at all though it's pretty obvious that the edges of the spec are never especially well specified and browsers have different implementations all the time. Sometimes deliberately.

So you don't really lose anything at all by having a continuously updated spec instead of a versioned spec. Hell if you want you can think of the date as the version. Then there's no difference at all. Many versioning systems work like that.

> Imagine writing a Java, C# etc. application to a Living Standard.

Those are bad examples because they have implementations that are overwhelmingly popular and therefore the de facto standard is "what does the official compiler do?".

A better example is C++. Guess what? C++ implementations are incomplete and patchy and often have subtle differences just like with web browsers.

What is so bizzaro about this? For loops and `auto` are both pretty standard features for a programming language.
I enjoyed this lecture [0] from Scott Aaronson about closed timelike curves and the impact they would have on computational complexity theory. Basically, they would give you the ability to spend an eternity computing some subcalculation, and then return to where you started with the result in hand.

It seems you're missing a more interesting discussion point.

For all of its faults, one of the advantages conveyed by private property ownership is in creating an interest in that property.

The commons, whether real property or virtual as in the case of intellectual works, has no such protections, and there are relatively few institutions which seek to protect and defend it.

In cultural space we do have works which have been passed down through the ages, though many of those come through particularly long-lived institutions, most especially religious (the canonical texts of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, the Greek and Roman mythologies, etc.), but also educational (often tightly coupled with religious institutions), and more recently scientific organisations (again, often coupled with educational institutions, both religious and secular).

There are the traditions of libraries and museums as well.

And there are many instances in which cultural commons have been appropriated by commercial interests, the case of Disney being particularly prominent.

I think that raising the question of what institutions might serve to curate, shepherd, and defend common works, how those might be structured and organised, and what models serve as potential examples and instances, makes for a rather more compelling conversation. As well as a rather fairer read of the concern voiced.

Affordable is about supply and demand. Build enough and all houses are affordable. Don't build enough and people will find ways to cheat to get what you make as 'affordable' so they get in.
Are these S76 level bugs, or issues from their suppliers?

The leap in scale from using Clevo designs with S76 software to designing your own hardware is massive.

They worked with HP. But if you are expecting Apple MacBook Pro level devices in the Linux flavour, I think it's going to take a few more years of buying what they are selling to achieve that scale.
Yup - and guess what, the only people hurt by this are the lowest level people. No manager or exec will feel any pain from this incompetence. Someone who isn't responsible but couldn't do their job effectively as a result is having a worse life now.

This is one of the primary reasons why I am totally done with Tech

The distance between users and builders is so excessively far apart now and the levels of abstraction for actually building things that are robust is just not even a consideration in software-centric design. Literally everything you have built after IDK 2000(?) will have exactly this issue. Just hope you're not at a scale that crushes people.

Software is the language of alienation and increasingly becoming unethical, as these systems are becoming increasingly impactful on the most vulnerable with no buttresses or supports preventing this kind of malfeasance.

It's not trivial. These are people's livelihoods at stake.
Its less about personal information and more that I'm never comfortable with constant observation, regardless of what I'm doing. I could be buying a bagel and feel uncomfortable with a camera or police officer.

Additionally, my work requires the ability to pivot quick with software and requires root access, hardware control, etc. I've regularly worked with coworkers in other areas of the company who spend a week setting up a workaround to the managed machine.

My colleagues and I all run personalized linux configurations and a typical managed machine would greatly hamper that. The company is large enough that the IT dept would not have time to manage all our exceptions so they just let us be.

I agree with you in the sense that I think many problems don't require general intelligence once you have a solution. However, to come to those solutions it took decades or centuries of intelligent humans working on those problems. The potential benefit of AGI isn't in automating the problems we already know how to solve (although it might help refine our solutions). It's in accelerating progress in domains where there are unsolved problems.

Sometimes we get hung up on comparing AI to humans. I wouldn't want an AI that does math and physics in the same way that humans do. Our brains aren't very good at those things. I'm more interested in the potential for AI to find new, more effective ways of working in these areas.

Not entirely the same, but here in Canada (still common law), any housing covenants applied to a deed can be struck down if they are illegal. There were a bunch of houses with ancient unenforceable covenants like not selling homes to certain ethnic/religious groups and they were granted the right to no just ignore, but actually remove those causes from the deed. Transitively, I imagine any deeds for HOA rules and regulations that are illegal under the law could also be challenged under similar merits. I've got no examples of this though, so who knows.
