Outside of software, my favorite example of this principle is Donald Rumsfeld. He's clearly one of the most brilliant people to have ever worked in government, and yet through overconfidence he contributed to the worst foreign policy blunders in modern US history and got thousands of people killed. So it seems that being smart doesn't necessarily help with making good decisions, especially in complex situations with incomplete data.

Yes I do understand all that, as I'm a React dev, in which render() methods and 'pure function components' work in exactly the same way (take props and state as input and return dom-creation-calls).

That is why I used JSX as a counterexample. Basically I'm questioning Elm's choice to stick with the raw dom-creation-function-style vs adopting a JSX equivalent.

Judging from my own time living in Manila I can vouch for this. The middle class has been slowly emerging since the 1980s - thanks to increased education and foreign investment - but it's still a tiny proportion of the country. I used to live in Makati and when touring the rest of the country it felt like the entire non-poor, but non-superrich were confined to just that part of Manila.

Thanks for replying.

I would say that you could probably have gotten the same benefits from rewriting the Python system into any AOT compiled language, like Go for example.

We have been doing such rewrites to Java and .NET stacks, with some C++ only on "as little as possible" basis.

Frontend apps are only done in C++, actually QML, if they need to be native cross platform.

Otherwise they are either native to the OS (WPF, Android, Cocoa) or pure web.

It's your subconscious working on a problem...

One example would be scenario where you can't remember some word, and you decide you can't remember it and stop thinking about it, your brain continues to search for it in the background (subconsciously)... and then the word comes to you like an interrupt.

I had the same thing with studying for exams (I would dream of the lecture notes and when I wake up in the morning I can perfectly recall everything).

There was a study posted at HN where not completing a task at work, leaves your brain working on it even after you leave your office, only to have the solution pop up in the middle of the night.

All of this can be a result of a stress. You need to take a vacation and relax. Recharge your batteries or you'll be feeling drained really soon...
This is a good point but I think you're missing about half of the equation.

There is tremendous unique potential (geniuses, savants, etc.) being wasted right now due to poverty or socio-cultural repressiveness. Those one in a thousand or one in a million individuals who are stuck somewhere and unable to live up to even a fraction of their potential. Einsteins, chandras, or feynmans who will live their lives doing menial work in a ghetto in the developing world instead of advancing human civilization.

On the other hand, that perspective also downplays the contributions that "ordinary" people can make. And in a way reveals some of the deep seated classicism that exists in our culture today. The truth is, that if you can work a job at McDonalds (and almost everyone on Earth is capable of doing so) there is a ton of other work that you can do that is vastly more valuable. If you can work at McDonalds you can be a scientist, no joke, or an engineer, or an artist. Maybe you can't be einstein, but for every einstein in science there are thousands upon thousands of researchers whose jobs aren't that much more challenging than working a typical "service" job. And that kind of thing is as much how we cure cancer and build/better civilization as the work of geniuses.

Which, I think, puts the waste of work/talent from having so much of the workforce stuck in "menial" jobs in even greater perspective.

Prior to Elm I spent 5 years building front end apps using ember.js(handlebars templates) and then JSX with React. From memory it took me about 2 days to get used to Elm's approach. Once you get used to have the full power of a programming language to build your view going back to using templates honestly feels painful by comparison. Aside from the power of having a full language available you also get the benefit of static typing. Refactoring your views with the same ease that you do with your normal code and with a compiler to watch your back is liberating. I wasn't aware how cautious I was with refactoring view components until I tried the alternative.
Gitlab and GitHub tackle same issues and have the same market. As someone said, if you are not violating copyright or patent law, you're good. Ideas are worthless, it's the execution part that matters... If you are better at it you'll win. If the market is big enough for both of you, you won't have problems. Imagine if McDonalds didn't start when they saw KFC was already into fast food business? Or burger king, or if we only had one pizza business. Competition pushes companies forward, having a monopoly is only good for the business, not the users.

Well, the story has a happy ending, and I think the point about the fundamental expressiveness of SQL is something that a lot of people miss in the mad dash to adopt "simpler" NoSQL solutions. I personally find SQL verbose and a bit ugly, but I still sort of love it because it's hugely powerful and expressive. I was perhaps 6 or 7 years into my career before I became comfortable with it, but I wish I'd thrown myself into learning it properly sooner because it is so incredibly useful.
Defined-benefit pension schemes are a problem because now, with the baby-boomers retiring, we're finding that we can't afford it. Many people can expect to live to 100 - that's 35 years of retirement after 45 years of employment when their employer probably only set-aside 10-15% of an employee's income for investment in the pension when it should have been 25-30% - so now the younger generations are paying for it - by using revenue generated from their activities to pay for the defined-benefit schemes which cuts into their salaries - and making them work longer years to make up for their own contributions.

"The point he was making is that, conceptually speaking, the cloud is comprised of servers"

But... that "point" is trivial.

Did anyone ever claim that cloud servers are made of magic pixie dust? No.

The real "point" is that, cloud = hardware + service, with service > 0.

As the OP describes, GitLab tries to do their own service (because service is expensive... it is), and they find out, the hard way, that the "service" part is not easy at all.

Amazon & Microsoft & Google run millions of servers each, so they can afford to hire really good people, and establish really
good procedures, and so on.

That, I think, is a better point

The introductory video is absolutely right.

Now I find myself thinking about problems in terms of matrices and vectors and making all sorts of deductions, even writing mathematical proofs, which I never thought I would.

Unthinking, I'd always gone for Ralph Nader's 'the most toxic substance known to mankind'. http://atomicinsights.com/how-deadly-plutonium/ tells a different story. Point being - 'During the Manhattan Project in 1944 and 1945, 26 men accidentally ingested plutonium in quantities that far exceeded what is now considered to be a lethal dose. Since there has been a consistent interest in the health effects of this brand new substance (first discovered by Glenn Seaborg’s team at the University of California in 1940), these men were closely tracked for medical studies. Forty Years Later As of 1987, more than four decades later, only four of the workers had died and only one death was caused by cancer. The expected number of deaths in a random sample of men the age of those in the group is 10. The expected number of deaths from cancer in a similar group is between two and three.'. On the other hand, better play safe!
We can see that LSTMs can emulate this kind of logic, but they also make mistakes.

Humans can also make mistakes when processing language. We're still better than LSTM's, but I'm not sure we can claim a qualitative difference.

Furthermore, even though we can process sentences with very deep embedding like "The rat the cat the dog bit chased escaped", my intuition is that we are not using our normal language processing systems for that. When I read that sentence, I just fail to process it and then I invoke my logic systems to try to determine the structure and decode it, in a way that feels totally different from processing a normal sentence (I'm not understanding it in real time, in a natural way, but rather solving a small puzzle). So I personally don't find the Chomskyan arguments based on that kind of corner cases very convincing.

" the vaporware "object-oriented operating system" concepts”

COM is Windows and COM is about as purely object oriented as you can get. It's not vaporware.
Let me paint this in a more interesting colour: at $work, most of our development work is very POSIX-y software (it only runs on Linux, but historically, at least portions of it used to run on a bunch of BSDs, too, and they probably still do, but no one tried it in years). Almost no one in the office uses Unix on their computer, not even those of us who use Linux at home.

Most of us have Windows stations. We can install anything on them, but most of us didn't bother. They're glorified remote terminals anyway (the code is compiled and edited on a bunch of build servers). The servers do run Linux, but if we were to start from scratch now, we could probably pull off a decent build system under Windows as well. I'm using Emacs and relying on a bunch of Unix tools, either directly (grep) or indirectly (cscope through xcscope), but my colleagues who use Eclipse wouldn't feel much of a difference if the servers ran Windows.

I used to run Linux at my previous $workplace, but I definitely lost more time than my employer would be comfortable knowing disentangling things that regularly broke after updates (mostly Gnome- and systemd-related, really, but thanks to xdg's lovely practices, using a Linux system without something that can perform the black magic associated with sessions, seats, file associations and whatnot is very unpleasant).

My Windows laptop hasn't crashed once, the applications I need haven't broken once, and I haven't had to do the restart your computer to install this driver dance at all, I literally started it and hacked away. Plus, doing systems programming on a Windows system isn't all that bad, thanks to Dave Cutler and his colleagues being brilliant engineers.

I'm torn about using Windows at home, largely because I now have fifteen years' worth of BSD and Linux-managed files and countless convenience scripts to migrate, because I don't really trust Microsoft and because I think fighting my OS so that it will stop giving me ads and sending my stuff to Redmond is about as productive as wrestling with a modern Linux systems' innuvashon. But, much unlike 15 years ago, I probably could.

Watching GitLab is somewhat painful. I feel like they make every possible mistake you could do as an IT startup and because they are transparent about it people seem to love the fact that they screw up all the time. I don't know if I share the same mentality, because at the end of the day I don't trust GitLab even with the simplest task, let alone any valuable work of mine.

It's good to be humble and know that mistakes can happen to anyone and learn from it, etc., but when you do in 2017 still the same stupid mistakes that people did a million times since 1990 and it's all well documented and there's systems built to avoid these same basic mistakes and you still do them today then I just think it cannot be described any different than absolute stupidity and incompetence.

I know they have many fans who just look past every mistake no matter how bad it was only because they are open about it, but common, this is now just taking the piss no?

ChromeOS might be built on top of a POSIX like kernel, but the actual application stack is the browser.

Android is mostly Java, the NDK only white lists a restricted set of libraries that aren't POSIX related, Android 7 dynamic linker will kill any app that tries to link to device libraries not part of that list, the Linux fork lacks APIs like e.g. UNIX IPC.

Android Things is even tighter. Only user space drivers are allowed, with C support just added this week. Before only Java drivers were allowed.
