I'm extremely happy to finally see a piece of writing that expands my mental model of what is actually happening on the JVM.

How many of these people do you think can afford to move? You're proposing to create a ghetto out of the Midwest, but the plan is stupid even on its own terms.

What of the things that we "must" do do you actually disagree with?

I hear the eco-nihilist party is polling excellently, pretty soon everyone will see the folly of trying to improve anything ever.

Too bad the people who die in the name of "carrying capacity"always tend to be brown and poor.

ballenarosada··on A new kind of map: it’s about time

There's no reason your distance graph should correspond to any continuous mapping of the plane. Two distances constrain a third point to one of two spots. Add a third distance and unless you get lucky, there will be no valid corresponding point in the codomain.
