I guess you really do just have to complain about things and then presto, they work again.

Let's be real, SO didn't need AI, most of it was already a shit salad. It became increasingly less useful from 2016 to now.

Nice change of pace to see a company introduce anti-AI features rather than features that use AI, or partnerships with AI companies.

Oh no... Those emails... I can smell the desperation from here. You can maybe get away with one customer-relations-type email "hey, sorry to hear you didn't like the experience, let me know if there's anything we can do to improve!" And then you just gotta leave it alone. You can't make friends with everyone, and you certainly can't argue your way into being friends with everyone.

At the end of the day, when the sun sets on their careers, when the last of any paltry consequences cease to apply, conservatives would still rather salt the earth to spite their peers than water a tomato plant to help their rivals.

They don't know how to make friends. They only know how to ruin. Today they happen to be ruining each other, but don't forget they ruined the rest of us first.

It's an ecosystem that's hard to break away from because, despite all the bloat and clunk, developing on Windows is a lot nicer than developing on other operating systems. Even now I find it so much easier to write C# in Visual Studio than C++ anywhere, even Visual Studio. I have so much less to worry about when MSDocs are organized, versioned, readable, and provide examples. Then I look at cmake docs...

I'm biased because I'm working on a C++ app right now and not having a good time lol

Soon enough there won't be any roofs left in Florida so that problem may just take care of itself.

I think I figured out how to satisfy low density residential demand in the game. It basically operates on the concept of Induced Demand. Just like adding a lane to a highway incentivizes people to use the highway more, leading to the same congestion problems. If you constantly zone low density residential in an attempt to "chase the demand bar," what you're doing is increasing the supply of houses. Meaning, driving down the COST of housing. Meaning more citizens can afford a house, meaning they buy up that supply, so they demand more... it's a feedback loop, like acquiescing to a child who only ever wants to eat chocolate.

So, counterintuitively, you need to IGNORE their demand. By keeping the supply constant, and with demand increasing, the cost of the housing goes up. This prices out some of your citizens, and so they will begin demanding lower-cost options. Enter, medium density housing. You start with row housing, then medium density, then mixed-use. This doesn't happen fast, let alone instantly, so you kind of have to plan this strategy from the founding of your city. At one point I had a 15k pop with almost exclusive demand for medium density housing.

As your citizens get more educated through college and university levels, they'll be able to afford those suburbs again, and the demand will return. But they'll also be young enough that living "in the big city" will be desirable and they'll start demanding high density apartments close to shops and offices. Beware the Low Rent zoning type! Despite being high density, if your citizens are too well educated and make too much money, they'll abandon these buildings the moment they can afford nicer places. But I guess they're a good stopgap measure between medium density and regular high density.

So Induced Demand is a double edged sword: you want to avoid inducing demand for low density suburbs, and purposely induce demand for higher densities.
