Inspection codes are supposed to protect those people. As currently implemented, they often don't because they force people into ... alternate living arrangements due to strangled housing supply. It's not even the code per se that's the problem. It's the weaponized bureaucratic incompetence around its enforcement.

Letting employees loot the company for their own profit isn't any better.

Not "this is so good you have to try it", but better than a lot of real beers.

Trying to talk it into writing anything other than toy code is an exercise in banging my head against the wall.

We do. It's called culture.

But culture doesn't optimize for something so narrow since it exists in a much wider context than just "what's good for knowledge workers in a capitalist system".

> GPUs are expensive.

Depends on the GPU. I've found T4 GPUs to be cheaper than CPU compute on AWS when testing throughput per $ of spend.

But a century of experimental and observational data proves that it is.

At this point it's generally just taken as a fact that the speed of light is constant for all observers. The explanation given above falls out as a direct mathematical consequence.

TBF that's exactly what Harvard did.

I preferred the Surface Book from a device ergonomics perspective -- but I finally got sick of trying to do dev work on Windows.

So I paid 2x as much for the same functionality instead. And that's why Apple won't make that form factor.

So? What value have these platforms provided that justifies their existence?

The way twitter was used by local governments during emergencies absolutely made it equivalent to one.

Fortunately at least my area has moved away from twitter and towards SMS based notifications for that purpose.

So you move all tax to just the land value at a higher rate than present, then let people build to offset the tax.

I don't understand how any one looks at the electric car charging situation and thinks it makes sense to scale that out to 100% of vehicles.

A 2 hour wait to get a charger spot isn't a workable transport system.

Once you're made a peer of the realm, you are not longer in the group of commoners.
