That is a common and valid criticism of British houses.

There are old Victorian houses built for factory workers, although most of the smallest have been demolished: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-up_two-down

But they still build things almost as small now! [1] is wasting space on three bathrooms and a staircase, and has floor plans illustrated with what seems to be rather small furniture.

On the same development they have some apartments. [2] is poorly laid out (the long hallway is wasted space) but still manages to have more living area and costs £65,000 less.

> In theory to save people you must function as a welfare state with things like ubi. You must deliberately distribute income unfairly.

This is only true for perverted definition of the word "fair" which allows owners/investors to perpetually capture 99.9% of the value produced by people who research, develop, build, and operate "your" machines.

When this is your ground truth, I can see how you would perceive a truly fair distribution of value created through thousands of years of collective human ingenuity, creativity, and hard work, as "unfair". Particularly in a post-singularity world where AGI and robots replace the majority of human work.

I don’t know. I think a good SSR library + some clever front end frameworks + an edge compute platform where you don’t have to worry about anny scaling and you’re done. I’ve seen some really impressive demos of stuff that is extremely dynamic (ie per request), rendered server side on first use for the immediate portion you need with transparent hydration in the background to download interactivity as needed. Sure it seems more complicated ha CDN + S3, but I think in actuality it’ll be simpler in application.

It all works super slick and conceptually there’s actually very little complexity for those applying it (the frameworks take care of the difficult bits). Since this is happening at the edge (in Cloudflare’s case, where I work, within something like 50ms of transit time to 95% of the population), and you’re only doing the initial view, you can get websites that load large pieces of content much more quickly than rendering it client side which is dominated by less powerful devices (ie SSR+transfer time is competitive) with less bandwidth/higher latency if you’re collating responses from different backends. You could even see that extending where they prefetch the raw data you’ll need to render the rest of the page in the background and either prepare a rendering, just bring it closer into the cache as a prefetch, or even push it to your browser proactively.

Now of course it’s possible this stuff won’t generalize but I don’t see any obvious obstacles. It feels like within 10 years this could be the dominant way client web apps will be written. I get that we originally used to do that but it’s about taking the best of both worlds (SSR let’s you get super high performance initial loads while dynamic client side handling let’s you handle interactivity better and doing it transparently makes your development process a heck of a lot simpler as you don’t really need to differentiate the code as much (whereas I think you would with SSG+SSR). For SSG you probably don’t need to find general pieces of content and set up a different layer vs changing some caching parameters / doing content based hashing transparently.

I think that’s maybe the direction OP was heading with in his remark of the distinction not being helpful.

as the article points out

The Yanomamö simply killed each other efficiently enough to keep populations down. In practice they ran into violent neighbors long before they ran out of land to farm och game to hunt. For security reasons they had to leave large swathes of land as buffers between villages.

That's the result of the lack of politics, what you are referring to is policies that kept the different groups separated based on their choices or caused splits among them.

Hammurabi was a great politician because he reunited the Mesopotamian tribes in a single state city, convincing them to work for a common goal, making them all prosper together.

C# fixes most of these issues. It has unsigned types, and interop with native calls is generally much more ergonomic than in Java. There are a range of useful built-in types for handling this type of system code, such as SafeHandle[1] and Span<T>[2] where T can be 'byte', etc...

Similarly, it has good support for struct (value) types, and it boxes native types far less often than Java does, for massive performance benefits. Last but not least, NET 8 will come with an ahead-of-time native compiler for faster startup times. It's about to get AVX-512 support! [3]

Alright, fair enough. However my main point was that it didn't even keep track of the word count. It only counted when I explicitly asked it "What is the word count now", then it realized that we were 8x the 200 word threshold. From this, I draw the conclusion that anything except for the very last instruction in the conversation is ignored. I guess rest of the conversation just becomes a context; unactionable.

Not for Japan[1]. The truth is that after Fukushima, the pro-nuclear parties lost a few state elections, which caused them to panic and give up on nuclear. Today, even Japan is over it, but in germany no one wants to admit that mistake.

I don't know when I met Bob. It was just as he was joining Google, and like many others, we met at conferences and instantly hit it off (for entirely unclear reasons). He liked the BileBlog, and delighted in how immature and childish it was, with all the poo flinging and whatnot. He'd always egg me on to go further, say worse things, poke more fun at everyone.

Whenever we met up, Bob would drag me kick and screaming out of my comfort zone. Somehow, everything I did with Bob always seemed like a bad idea but always turned out to be memorable and wickedly fun. He was so enthusiastic for life, and his enthusiasm was infectious.

I remember talking to him when he got the Square CTO offer, and him giggling about how uniquely unqualified he felt but hey why not, he's crazybob so no matter what happens he'll have fun. He took me on a tour of the NYC office, and was bemused by how silly it was that he was supposed to be the adult in the room.

Somehow amidst all the fun, we still managed to find time to discuss all things Java, from the politics of the JCP to why Guice refused to support @PostConstruct to the clever hackery he figured out to get Guice to have useful error messages when bindings failed.

I'll miss you Bob, you were a bright beacon of joy that inspired everyone around you.

> Which results in the "rightness" and "wrongness" of those actions being open to debate, and therefore subjective.

Poor choice of words by me...what I meant to say is that the full scope of human well-being is not yet known. Whatever it ultimately _is_ isn't open to debate, as whatever constitutes well-being will be facts about how the human organism can either flourish or fail to flourish.

If you can admit that a universe where every conscious being suffers as much as it possibly can for as long as it possibly can is bad, then the morality conversation can get off the ground. If the word "bad" is going to mean anything, it applies there.

Those who want compulsory veiling and it's associated punishments are _wrong_ to want it. I contend that this is true independent of culture.

Basically for people who would fly in the evening and stay at a hotel in order to be ready at destination first thing in the morning.

Of course, within the UK distances are so short than you can also be at destination early in the morning by flying very early...

Strict georgism emphasizes taxing limited resources, i.e. resources that can be hogged, preventing others from innovating. If what you're using can be made more plentiful, it's not worth taxing.

For example, taxing your use of transmission capacity would go against georgism: It's possible to make better equipment that transfers bits faster. There are, however, resources that can be hogged on the Internet. For example, domain names: Short (non-trademarked) domain names, e.g. flowers.com, are more valuable than a random string of characters from a lesser known top-level domain, e.g. lrchcu.hat. As there is a limited number of single-word domain names, the owner of the former domain should pay a higher fee or tax for their domain than the owner of the latter.

I get that you can see it that way. If you were going to use server-side rending (SSR) anyway you can claim that static site generation (SSG) is a special case supported by any SSR framework. Or perhaps even that SSR is a generalisation of SSG to support dynamic content.

But it feels like a bit of a stretch. The whole point of SSG is to simplify your architecture and tooling by forgoing the ability to dynamically render content on the server. It is a trade-off that won't be suitable for every application, and that's absolutely fine.

If you want to argue that SSR tooling can be so simple and cheap that the SSG trade-off isn't worth it, then I'm keen to learn about that.

But to elide the distinction between the two seems unhelpful to me.
Collecting problem children in smaller, more controlled classes is the only effective strategy. In a class of say, 30 kids, it just takes one to disrupt a lesson. On the other hand, if every kid is cooperating, a single teacher can effectively manage a class of hundreds (and actually do in some Asian countries).

Separation helps the problem kids as well. I have personally observed a high success rate in turning around kids once they get the more focused attention possible in a small class.

To be concrete, if you had 2 teachers and 60 kids with 5 of them "problematic", the most effective approach would be to divide them so you had the 55 cooperative learners in one room and the others in their own class.
