I find it hard to blame people for doing what they are incentivized to do. Sure, I would love if everyone is morals first but given the open to build a "luxury" condo that gets N% return on investment or a "basic" condo that gets %M return on investment they are going to build whatever one is higher.

Most of the blame should lie on the government for not creating the correct rules and incentives.

Because it is amazing to live downtown where I can walk to dozens of different great restaurants and shops, work and anywhere else I need to go on the average day. If I have kids they can get around easily without needing to wait until they turn 16 and can get a drivers license.

City life isn't everyone's preference but it is clearly desirable by many people. $1M is a huge price tag but if you can afford it and you want to live in the city then you will pay it if you need to. Many people do.

The only hope is that with supply increasing the price tag will start dropping. Additionally to dropping price of current stock hopefully builders will start targeting lower pricepoints as well. (Right now most of the new condos are targeted at more "luxury" audience because it is more profitable, now that the market has been saturated other markets will start to be addressed.)

I'm just waiting for the bubble to pop.

23.11 is the nixpkgs/NixOS version. This is the version of the Nix package manager. If you don't need the newer version then there is nothing to worry about. It doesn't effect the NixOS and nixpkgs software that you are installing.

This is like an Aptitude package manager update vs Debian version or a Pacman update vs Arch Linux version (not Arch has versions).

Algorithms are like AI but accurate, predictable and usually much faster.

Oh, flac fixes for HLS. I wonder if https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/8722 was fixed. I'll have to try it out today.

You could go columns for the content, but I think my ideal layout would still have the main content in a single column. I would put all of the chrome horizontally through. For example no header before and footer afterwards, put everything in different columns. Maybe even throw some extra navigation on the screen.

You don't need to use every pixel, just avoid putting things offscreen unnecessarily.

That doesn't seem compatible with the MPL. Or is it just their modifications that aren't in the original source files that are licensed this way?

Two regions of one provider isn't really a reliable backup. What if the provider goes out of business, hacked, closes your account or has a software bug that affects all of their storage.

I also had a bad experience where I had a test website under a megabyte in a storage bucket. It was under the free tier and sat there for a few years. Then one month they sent me a bill (it was small, a handful of cents). Contact support saying that this use is under the free tier. They said that data was added then removed from the bucket. I hadn't logged into the account, no living API keys. They wouldn't forgive the charge.

Luckily my credit card had expired so they just locked my account.

I think so. IIRC there are a few different implementations. But if you configure any of them Android will automatically use it to run non-native apps.

Do you have an ARM emulator installed? I don't think the game ships an x86 build. Other than that it just worked.

This is also true in lots of places like Canada and (IIUC) California. But very frequently it doesn't happen. In Canada you can report it but then nothing happens.
