It’s an abuse of definitional scope. The commenter is not arguing against a point that has not been made (that would be a strawman); instead, they’re arguing against the applicability of terminology in an argument that was made, but by using an incorrect or alternate definition for the terminology.

In this specific instance, the commenter is using a non-standard definition of “intrinsic value” to argue that gold has no such value. I like to call this “Wittgensteinian chaos” - you see it happen whenever two or more parties fail to explicitly define terms before arguing. It’s usually accidental, not deceptive. In particular, this is likely to happen with technical terminology that does not look enough like jargon to prompt people to look it up, because it also has a coherent, non-technical meaning.

Now circle back to “intrinsic value” - if you aren’t immediately aware that this is a specific economic term[1], you might think to yourself, “oh I get what he’s trying to say”, and proceed to try and refute it. I think economics is particularly prone to this in internet debates.
No, when that was changed you could at that time just quote a single word to get the old +word behavior.
It could be the internet (content) growing, or it could be the search engine changing, but to me, the most salient change over 20 years is the internet user base changing. At the risk of sounding elitist, the users of the internet have become a lot dumber on average. Search engines therefore grew dumber relative to the one that was tuned to people who were early adopters and used the tool for more productive purposes.

How I went from programming with a Nokia phone to working for an MIT Startup
2002 I'm in high school and my ISP is Adelphia they lay fiber to my parents door I'm thinking oh shit I'm about to get fiber over 56k modem. One month later Adelphia is in chaos mode over the internal corruption allegations, noone answers the phone there. I have to do a who is look up to find the server room phone number to fix and issue"how did you get this number!?". one year later big telecom is backing the government to prosecute Adelphia. 2006 TWC buys the Adelphia network and rips any working fiber parts off the darkfiber network and sells it. Still to this day my whole street and most the county has a new darkfiber network and noone has ever used it. I'm still stuck with max speed of 70/5 for $100 here. There might be some corruption.

The expanding consolidation of the consumer internet
I'm myself wondering how much use Nouveau will be here. I imagine the approach that Yuzu will take is actually to HLE the entire operating system and implement things on the service level. During the Switch hacking talk at 34c3, they mentioned that there was a service containing the GPU driver. So basically, the idea would be to reverse engineer how the API works and try to implement the GPU on top of it.

At least, this seems like a sane approach to me. It benefits from less of the existing reverse engineering work on NVidia chipsets, BUT it's higher level, which probably means it will be easier to understand and yield better performance in practice, especially since it is going to have to be implemented on top of higher level GPU APIs anyways.

Why would a container be slow to create? It's effectively a fork with namespacing options. The overlay file system is just a product of one or more layers that are already computed; there's not much complexity to its mounting compared to something like ext4 or NFS. I haven't timed it, but containers seem damn fast to start with Docker and Kubernetes.
Here's what the plan seems to be from reading the blog and the README:

1. Re-implement Bash and similar shells in a modern programming environment with an eye to extensibility

2. Make good debugging tools because this is now easier because (1).

3. Create a new language that extends Bash, similar to how ES6 extends ES5, for a gentle migration of large shell scripts to a safer language

What, other than static parsing, should this endgame language offer? Where does it fall, on the gamut from Bash to Haskell? We already have quite a few languages that offer a souped-up scripting experience.

When my bash programs become too long, I usually reach for Ruby, which has convenient back-ticks syntax for shelling out, and many convenience methods on its built-in types for mashing strings and such. But like Bash, too much ruby eventually becomes an unmaintainable mess without strict standards enforcement. What will Oil offer for me, over Ruby?

Here's how I'd order existing languages on a scale from Bash to Haskell:

1. Bash with `set -e`

2. Perl

3. TCL (has declared arguments, after all...)

4. Ruby

5. Python

6. Golang

7. Java

8. C++

9. Ocaml

10. Haskell

Microbenchmarking calls for idealized conditions
I wouldn't take my example too literally. The example was just to illustrate the basic logic for fail open and intentionally wasn't complete or detailed.

For purposes of discussing fail open, how that logic gets translated during implementation doesn't matter. Authorized(User) might be expiring tokens passed in via cookie. IsDown(AuthSystem) could just check some global flag that gets set by some watchdog service on a AuthSystem heartbeat. It could be something else. It doesn't matter because it's not relevant.

Having a direct connection to the AuthSystem or not is an implementation detail, not something that changes the idea "Netflix should fail open".

And my point is that kind of international leverage isn't available to, say, a suburb outside of Toledo.

Yes! You need to beat Google with a stick to enable searching for the furce awakens (that's not a typo) poster which Disney itself produced. Used to be that quotes around a phrase stopped this typo correcting but no longer.

On the one hand - I agree you have to be patient in order to execute at the right times. On the other hand, that's only in terms of timing...

You can't be patient and wait for opportunities. You have to be consistently searching for them, and execute as you find them - staying as nimble as possible.

For instance, I am always 100% invested, but always in various types of assets. Some investments I can get my money out in 24 hours, others take weeks or months to divest. That enables me to execute quickly when I see opportunity, but only in a limited fashion.

I don't believe it's "impatience" that keeps me invested at that level. It's the fact that, being idol does nothing.

Hell, I'm even platform around identifying new opportunities. I didn't / don't want to be patient, so now I'm building something to enable faster decisions:

Kind of reminds me of a similar parable from the story Time Enough for Love by Robert Heinlein, in it there was a man "too lazy to fail"[1]. The idea is summed up by a quote:

> Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.

Ambition is just trying to accomplish things. In my opinion, it's impatience that pushes us to solve problems, else we'd all settle for the way things are. The trick, is learning to solve them in a way that mitigates risk. Which is really what the author is trying to get at. Arrogance (or over confidence) might be a better description of the pitfall, than impatience.

>what other term would be so readily understood by people?

Exactly the right question. Language is clumsy and imperfect. For many hard science topics and simple descriptions, it is precise. But for everything else, prominent thinkers among us have built a collective mythos as a society constructed of these abstractions and models. We can only use the models that others have ready access to, being participants in society, even if they are imperfect to describe the phenomenon, to communicate effectively. To take it ad absurdum, we can say that reinventing a whole new language for each conversation partner based on the most efficient way to transmit concepts would just be too clumsy for timescales on which humans operate.

> quickly learnt just to be a tool for the music

Case in point: this is a meme that recurs when talking about creative pursuits, and it's a useful and succinct way to think about and discuss this phenomenon. It's clear though that there are powerful mental processes that simply never bubble up to the level of conscious awareness, because to allow such would slow down the process too much to be useful. The artist acts as if "my mind is empty" even though the most important word is not "empty" but rather "my": that is, the ego sees nothing happening and runs on the basis that its experience is truth, when a rational examination disproves that assumption readily.

> I haven't timed it, but containers seem damn fast to start with Docker and Kubernetes.

You should time it then, it's incredibly slow these days

$ time docker run busybox /bin/true
.388s total

$ time docker run --net=none busybox /bin/true
.310s total

The above times, of over 300ms, are with docker 17.06 and the overlay2 driver on a powerful computer with an ssd.

It's horrifically slow because the entire docker codebase is disgustingly bloated.

It has to fork something like 10 processes and synchronize between them (for everything from network initialization to runc hooks). It has to make ipc calls from docker-cli to dockerd to containerd and back again, allocating and freeing large chunks of memory for grpc along the way.

It's incredibly slow.

On the other hand, just forking and running something with namespacing options is effectively instant:

$ dir=$(mktemp -d)
$ docker run --name bbexport busybox /bin/true
$ cd $dir
$ docker export bbexport | tar x
$ time nsenter --root=$dir /bin/true
0.000s total

This is the reason they don't let you use arbitrary docker containers; docker containers are a ton more than a fork and some options. They're a bloated moving target.

What lambda does allows them to optmize much more. In fact, lambda doesn't even have to fork a process sometimes because they can keep the e.g. javascript runtime running and then just add a new request into the existing process directly. They can freeze and thaw environments from known good states for request processing.

But most importantly, by not being compatible in any way with docker, they don't have to deal with the bloated mess that is docker and the ecosystem around it.

They don't have to load 3 daemons measuring 50MB into memory to run 100kb of javascript (which they can currently run more quickly than docker can even start the simpleist container)

In my experience, projects which try to follow that strategy inevitably end up with a handful of core libraries containing 90% of active development.

Last year, before Senator Brandis was ditched as Attorney General (Christian Porter is the new AG), he was following the UK & USA's "encryption is bad" playbook, and joining law enforcement in saying that due to easy to use, strong encryption, predominately on smartphones, Australia's safety is at risk because it's too hard for police to get into confiscated devices. Anyways, the AG's office said that "legislation to enable Australian law enforcement and security agencies to adapt to the challenges posed by ubiquitous encryption is in an advanced stage of development". How the government manages to screw this up will be exciting and innovative.”
