the OP also seems to ignore the fact that when the federal/state/municipal government really really wants to do an infrastructure thing they'll just use eminent domain to bulldoze anything and everything. they've somehow blown straight past the fact that said governments are feckless and without the will to do poo poo and gone straight to "only force majeure, an act of God can solve this"

Even assuming that the existing landowners were paid enough to go away and not demand that their houses rebuilt exactly so you could start over from scratch, you would probably just end up with the new bay area being built into some dystopian nightmare like Phoenix, which seems to represent Americans' idea of the perfect city. If cities didn't already exist the US would probably just be one giant strip mall mystes fucked around with this message at 16:58 on May 27, 2023 |

yeah the post is specifically that the bay area is incapable of building things, moreso than elsewhere in the US oh you want a train line? well that'll be about 20 years in california environment court facing a team of lawyers funded by atherton bart absolutely wouldn't be feasible today

yadaeno 13 hours ago | root | parent | prev | next [–] Ive never seen Star Trek, but lets say you had an infinite food machine. The machine would have limited throughput, and it would require resources to distribute the food. These are both problems that capitalism solves in a fair and efficient way.

in a capitalist star trek society there would only be one food replicator, because the owner of it would correctly realise that wider distribution of the replicators would prevent them from seeking obscene rents from the outputs that it produces food would instead be magnanimously distributed for nearly free until all local food producers are out of business, at which point prices would be cranked up as much as possible

the bay area doesn't need fixing. it is the way it is because the people who own the land want it to be that way. if you want it to be different, you'd have to buy the land, and they ain't selling

smcameron 14 minutes ago | prev | next [–] These aren't mistakes of C, these are mistakes made hundreds and hundreds of years ago in the design of various language writing systems. English gets a lot right with its writing system, mostly in its choice of a small alphabet, a small set of punctuation marks, and an almost complete absence of diacritical marks. reply

It's either a humorous remark treating languages as if they were designed and judging them by how well they fit into Computer, or a sincere statement by an Anglo monoglot who thinks languages other than English shouldn't be accommodated by Computer.

even if every language on earth moved to a small unaccented alphabet, you'd still have significantly more than one of those alphabets and frequently need to use them in concert, and therefore c's approach to localization would still be woefully inadequate
