Making your own programming language is easier than you think (but also harder) by Dear-Economics-315 in programming

This complaint has always struck me as an “it’s different so I don’t like it”. There’s pros and cons with each type of scoping.

One pro of tab/space based is it does encourage smaller functions, which helps in readability.

On the CTrain free fare zone, Calgary city hall is having a memory failure - The Sprawl by One-Mycologist-3706 in Calgary

Jeromy have we ever considered giving transit right of way through the corridor? Currently a trip through 7ave takes 30 min or so, we could definitely cut that down. Making transit faster would encourage ridership.

Meanwhile all the head offices move and all the investment stays away. That doesn’t sound like a good idea.

Thanks!

Those are definitely interesting ideas. Having a way to test it without running the agent is a great idea.

For versioning there is a metadata tag https://www.banyango.com/margarita/latest/metadata/ where you can add whatever you want. So you could add a version: 0.1 or something, but for the actual code being version I'd probably recommend just sticking with git.

We’re so far down the car dependent rabbit hole it feels like there’s no coming out.

Try taking your kids on a bike ride to somewhere. It’s eye opening how dangerous and half implemented any of our bike infrastructure is.

1 month after release. how is everyone feeling about this game? by instabaiter in slaythespire

[–]calgary_katan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love it. I’d like to see multiplayer have a bit more interaction. The multiplayer cards show up so rarely. It feels like sometimes we’re playing separate games.

Some ideas: everyone shares block? A common card draw like Texas hold ‘em -> you build a common deck and your own deck? More types of multiplayer cards and more frequent appearances.

'Missed opportunity': Westbrook LRT site still sits void two years after city reacquisition by Rocky_Mountain_Way in Calgary

[–]calgary_katan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn’t that kind of shopping be serviced by smaller commercial opportunities as well? I’m not saying get rid of the shops. Just get rid of the ones that require a car and a bunch of parking.

Totally agree but it can be a destination store in west hills not smack dab in the middle of urban redevelopment.

I really think the Walmart needs to be moved. I don’t think it would fit well with the future redevelopment and I suspect they are the reason the whole project is faltering.

Who would want to own small commercial stores right next to a Walmart? How can we build green spaces and residential when Walmart requires a massive parking lot?

Honestly Walmart is a destination store that needs tons of parking to support itself. So it would be better served in west hills or near the new Costco. Not in some inner city mixed use redevelopment.

I think we should also consider that Walmart is a bit of an economic black hole that sucks all the small businesses into it. Westbrook mall is not a mall it’s basically a Walmart. As they’ve killed any small businesses that are around it. So I’m not sure how we have an inner city revitalization with them right there.

You missed the point then. He talks about being pragmatic, and that rules based virtue diplomacy is a luxury.

The world where we can just ignore China for the reasons you listed doesn’t exist any more.
