The author may be backprojecting salient features of the postwar bedroom suburb onto early waves of low-density urbanization as though his were _the_ salient features of the whole family tree.
I think he admits as much by claiming that the essence of the Manchester pattern was the "complete break" between the urban core and desirable residential addresses. I don't find that he can establish his case that this is what this or all suburbanization essentially amounts to, so I disagree he shows that what happened here was what "the world copied."
It does look like probably a lovely place to live.

The garden suburb "first emerged in England in the 1830s" per David Fishman [NB: not the same scholar as Robert Fishman] Bob Stern, and Michael Tilove's book "Paradise Planned," but garden suburbs are just one of the forms that subsequent waves of suburbanization have taken; earlier waves were also going on, and have continued to as well.

The Georgian (1710s-1820s) squares of many cities in England, for example, didn't have estate-style lawns nor walls around the neighborhoods, but they often had locked fences all around the garden. These private parks were known as squares, yes, but had little in common with cobblestoned market squares; the houses were sometimes even low-rise fashionable villas (among them Lloyd Square -- near the Angel of Islington -- a development which is still intact in Inner London). The fancy Clifton area of Bristol is at a higher elevation than the old port city but I disagree that separation from the core or social desirability are really what define a neighborhood as being suburban. Lloyd Square is a little unnervingly low; its buildings struggle to effectively amplify the space or create "positive space" because architecturally they can't anchor or confine it. So one perspective on suburban environments is this: they all exhibit urbanization processes where the spaces between buildings frequently do not even register primarily as "spaces between buildings" but as horizontal visual landscapes unfolding in various directions. I may have gotten this notion from the townscape studies movement.

Canal and waterfall mill workforce neighborhoods on both sides of the Atlantic significantly predate Fishman's and this author's wave of lower-density higher-skill suburban growth.

The arrival of more than ten thousand relatively skilled French Protestant families of mostly weavers to Spitalfields and Bethnal Green and the surrounding area east of the London wall between 1585 and 1587 caused rapid development of a pretty comparatively suburban character. For a more planned version, the architect Inigo Jones' Covent Garden specifically attracted wealthy homeowners in the 1630s and 1640s when future Soho Square was still undeveloped and the West End was not a business center. For a less planned and more-exurban growth pattern I think of Quakers moving between the City of London and the more bucolic area of Stoke Newington north of town.
I feel like this is missing EMS and XMS memory. Both were well supported ways of getting more than 640k. EMS worked by page banking. 1 or 2 64k segments of memory would be changed to point to different 64k banks from an add on memory card. XMS just did a copy instead of a page bank IIRC. It's been a long time but I wrote DOS apps that used both to support more than 640k of memory using both standards.

It's not wasted on alignment, since that alignment is already required (unless you need a very large heap). Remember that Java's GC heap is only used to allocate Objects, not raw bytes. There are ways to allocate memory outside of the heap and if you're dealing with that much raw data you should probably be using them.
It's much better known for rejecting them actually… Coincidentally, the first thing that comes to my mind when talking about golang-nuts is this gem: https://groups.google.com/g/golang-nuts/c/hJHCAaiL0so/m/kG3B...

There is no such thing as "auto-scaling".

You can only "auto-scale" something that is horizontally scalable and trivially depends on on the number of incoming requests. I.e., "a shitty web-app". (A well designed web-app doesn't need to be "auto-scaled" because you can serve the world from three modern servers. StackOverflow only uses nine and has done so for years.)

As an obvious example, no database can be "auto-scaled". Neither can numeric methods.

A 2006 study on supplying iron to children on Pemba Island was halted after it increased deaths and hospitalizations [1]. High iron levels appear to reduce resistance to malaria [2], so supplying iron tablets to infection-susceptible populations can lead to harm.

While the article makes a strong case for the importance of fighting anemia, these sorts of nuances can make the actual implementation difficult.

For more, I recommend listening to [3], which gave a fascinating link between anemia and the evolution of bacteria.

I think a good way of looking at it is risk. Is the change (whether it is code or configuration, etc.) worth the risk it brings on.

For example if it's a small feature then it probably makes sense to wait and keep things stable. But, if it's something that itself causes larger imminent danger like security patches / hard disk space constraints, then it's worth taking on the risk of change to mitigate the risk of not doing it.

At the end of the day no system is perfect and it ends up being judgement calls but I think viewing it as a risk tradeoff is helpful to understand.

If you like saving clicks, maybe the new tab page I've been using for years might interest you[0]. I like being able to just open a new tab and go to a page with a single keystroke, so I threw this together years ago to let me define a custom list of shortcuts that I can jump to by hitting the key of which index the site I want (originally I had used a Chrome extension that did something similar, but when I switched to Firefox and couldn't find anything similar enough that I liked, I realized it would be fairly easy to make as a static page that would work on any browser).

My observation so far is that businesses don't aim at 24/7 any more. Officially maybe, but not in practice - they accept the risks. Some downtime is less of the deal, if that means less staff and other costs.

It's a big shift in thinking, IMO caused mostly by people not opposing abuse more.

It's worth noting that all the memory models have DS=SS, which makes sense for C (where you often take the address of a local variable - though nothing is stopping you from having a separate "data stack" for those) but is a silly restriction for some other languages.

I'm sure someone took advantage of this, but my knowledge is purely theoretical.

My back of the napkin estimate is that a human using time of flight ranging would be unable to distinguish between an object directly in front of their face and 8.6 meters away[1]. I think human echolocation uses a different mechanism (presumably relating to amplitude)?

Skimming the Wikipedia article[2], it seems like animals do use time of flight, but also Doppler shifting.

(As a side note, some animals have apparently evolved active countermeasures to echolocation!? It seems obvious in retrospect but incredibly cool.)

There's interesting research into the mechanisms of human echolocation [3], but it was over my head. My impression was that the jury is out as far as the precise mechanisms involved but that there's a lot of evidence to be considered, I'm sure someone with a better background would get more out of it than I did.

(I'm just curious about the mechanism, I agree that LIDAR has natural analogs.)

I'm the one who wants to do the night shifts. I miss the time when I worked with a 13-hour time difference due to time zones. But now I don't have the option of working at night, everyone has to be at work during 'business hours', and yet the company I now work for has an on-call policy, and they only pay a tiny bonus to people who join the initiative.
Oh wow - I saw this story a few weeks ago (absolutely horrifying) and ended up binging on caving incident stories. My takeaway was that regardless of how experienced the spelunkers are, something can go wrong.

In the midst of my binge, I also found this awesome(ly horrifying) Youtube Channel of cave explorers. They have explored some amazing caves, but here's a video of them in some really tight spaces to illustrate the risk these explorers take (warning, may induced some anxiety): https://youtu.be/Us-XA2BRLgg?si=Lb62ZE1IHG4MD6K3&t=677

> I think it's good to apply Mearsheimer's realist thinking here, and the intention is obviously clear that Israel does not want peace with Gaza

From what I see from my perspective:

Last time it was on the table the deal was so good PLO realized it could be forced into a real two state solution with peace and permanent borders.

At that time the PLO, not Israel, left the negotiating table without even a counteroffer.

For me, from all I see from the rhetoric, Arab organizations want all:

- right of return for them

- no compensation or right of return for Jews forced into Israel from surrounding areas

- no permanent borders and peace, they see it only as a first step

> as that would require recognition of a Palestinian state as the PLO had wanted since the 70s

Let's also for completeness include that PLO want to eradicate Israel, and are brazen enough to have it in their official charter.
There's an interesting contradiction at the heart of Microsoft:

Its products have been the standard foundation of computing for decades, they're so ubiquitous and entrenched. Although growing up with PCs using Windows it was mediocre: slow, bloated, unintuitive, you learned to wait after a click to let it "think". Doing anything on Azure is an endless maze of "pull your hair out in frustration" astoundingly bad, everything so overly difficult. And Teams.

It's depressing that despite it all it became the standard, yet encouraging for the quality software that will one day supplant it...

I think a 10% tax on Chinese goods is not a disaster. For all the cheap stuff we get from there, it will still be cheap. You might have to pay $5.50 for something instead of $5. For all the expensive stuff, 10% additional won't be a deal breaker for someone already wanting to buy it.

I don't know too much about what we import from Mexico and Canada, other than I know we have factories in Mexico.

As far as jobs, those got offshored originally starting in the 70's because companies wanted cheaper stuff, i.e. lower wages. The notion to bring the jobs back here is great, but I don't think companies will want to pay higher wages (if that does happen that's awesome but I'm pessimistic), and they really don't have a choice with housing costs the way they are now (also pessimistic), so I see the pendulum swining back eventually. Maybe legal immigration will become easier and deregulated. Maybe enterprises needing cheap labor will become more directly involved in the process.

Your point is a good one actually, and it's why I didn't mention anything about genocide in Xinjiang. It's a grotesque political atrocity of social repression and culture eradication, but as far as any sources I've looked at go, the Chinese state isn't literally killing the Uyghers en masse as an ethnic or religious group.

Nonetheless, the deaths of civilians in the Gaza Strip also aren't a genocide. They could be defined as a war crime, or if you want to be really generous to Israel, as unfair collateral damage (a phrase I mostly detest in this context) but the Israeli state isn't deliberately targeting the Strip's ethnic Palestinian population for eradication.
This should not be taken at face value; consider the source.
Fraktur at one point was genuinely a different script

You can find texts in the late 1500-early 1900s at least that will switch to a fraktur style when quoting or using German.

I’m not sure I understand the whole ABI argument. Isn’t the raison d’être for namespace versions precisely to evolve the language? Why can’t the existing implementations be copied into a std::v2 but with a changed ABI. Existing ABI issues are non-issues because the old code remains while new code will by default compile against v2 picking up all the goodies and can downgrade the types they actually use across ABI in the places they need by changing the namespace version used for a given compilation unit via compile-time flags (or something along these lines)?

Were namespace versions determined to not solve this problem? That would be the most ironic thing after all if the change management system introduced in c++11 to avoid std::string is either unused, untrusted, or unworkable for the purpose it was intended.
I'm sorry if you feel that way.

I am in no way trying to judge you; rather, I'm trying to get closer to the truth in that matter, and your input is valuable, as it points out a discrepancy wrt TFA, but it is also subject to caution, since it reports the results of only one chess player (right?). Furthermore, both in the case of TFA and this youtuber, we don't have full access to their whole experiments, so we can't reproduce the results, nor can we try to understand why there is a difference.

I might very well be mistaken though, and I am open to criticisms and corrections, of course.
You can work hard and not be stressed. Stress often comes from lack of control, what are the severe dangers?

> Sure you can try and reduce those as well during the holiday season, but what if a certificate has to be renewed? What if a critical security patch needs to be applied? What if a set of servers need to be reprovisioned? What if a hard disk is running out of space?

Reading this, I see two routine operational issues, one security issue and one hardware issue.

You can’t plan you way around security issues or hardware failures, but operational issues you both can and should plan around. Holiday schedules like this are fixed points in time, so there’s absolutely no reason why you can’t plan all routine works to be completed either a week in advance, or a week after, the holiday period.

Certificates don’t need to be near the point of expiry to be renewed. Capacity doesn’t need to be at critical levels to be expanded. Ultimately, this is a risk management question (as a sibling has also commented). Is the organisation willing to take on increased risk in exchange for deferring operational expenses?

If the operational expense is inevitable (the certificate will need renewing), that seems like an easy answer when it comes to risk management over holidays.

If the operational expense is not inevitable (will we really need to expand capacity?), it then becomes a game of probabilities and financials - likelihood of expense being incurred, amount of expense incurred if done ahead of time, impact to business if something goes wrong during a holiday.

It's not a proposition.

On an empirical basis, you'll find extreme examples of all situations, from full-on dictatures to company owned land masses. Whether it holds or not has to do with the specific country and its situation.

In a very real way, ideologies don't feed people, and usually it will be the reality of the country that nurtures appropriate philosophies, not the other way round (e.g. Chinese "communism" wouldn't have happened anywhere else, and you can't apply it to other countries willy nilly either)
