The whole concept of "buying" a politician isn't a very truthful way to frame what happens anyway. No politician votes in a way they weren't biased towards already just due to campaign contributions.

There are perfectly good debuggers for functional languages, but honestly, it's not as useful as it is for imperative languages in my experience. More useful is profiling information -- both execution and heap.

Yes, but the same middle boxes would choke on that too, either corrupting it or blocking it.
This is getting down voted but I don't think that's fair, it's not off topic. Trump said yesterday he's in favor of the death penalty for drug dealers because they are responsible for the death of others. It's a fair question to ask if there should be a distinction between street dealers and these doctors and executives.
> Also, I don't really get this claim. Valve has ~360 employees with annual revenue under a billion dollars,

Looks like I was wrong: Newell claims that Valve has the highest profit per employee.

I'm sure the numbers are not accurate, but that is still a very impressive figure for revenue/employee.
Sorry. I don't get your point.

Assuming 100% mortality, how could there possibly be an advantage if the genes of the afflicted cannot be propagated ?
Ya, I agree. My tech package can capture pedistrians behind and aside, but not front (and preemptive breaki is disabled at slow speeds). It seems like technology will enable new designs (and ultimately, a fully autonomous car doesn’t really need windows at all).
WireGuard isn't simply a vanilla transport that uses Curve25519 for key agreement and some symmetric encryption construction for bulk encryption. It's an instantiation of Trevor Perrin's Noise Protocol Framework, with special protocol allowances for zero-allocation implementation and for DoS avoidance.

It's easy to come up with something smaller than WireGuard if all you're doing is slapping some kind of encryption on a tun/tap device.
Not really comparable. The street dealer is not likely to get 40 years, although many may have gotten it (Assuming that a street dealer doesn't have 400 kilos of coke in his stash house. If he does, he's no street dealer)

Also the doc loses his license and every single penny he has, between lawyers, years without being able to make a penny, and court fines. When you make a certain amount of money the trend is to live up to it: mortgages, fancy cars, club memberships, schools for kids and so on. When the money stops coming in, guess what happens?
I found the comment to be insightful. I'm trying to find his violation, and I can't really. There are a few things that are close, maybe, but not really.

"political or ideological battle" and "shallow dismissals" seem most plausible, but neither really fits. It's not as if the entirety of his comment was "more dumb leftist shit". There was more substance to his comment.

In that case, I think you might be better off with more of a minimalism approach: don't try to configure everything and anything from the get go but add features incrementally only when you really think they're necessary.

After many years of using Emacs every day, I decided at one point to throw away my .emacs file and start from scratch. You know, it's a little bit like the old saying about how you should code every program you write twice: once to learn how to do it, and then a second time to get it right.

I had been using Emacs for a while but especially when I first started out, I was maybe as overwhelmed as what you describe. And so I probably did too much, tried out too many things. But hey, that's how you learn, right? After many years, I had acquired much more proficiency, found out by experience which things are essential and which packages that I had installed I actually didn't really need.

And so I made a completely new, empty .emacs file and manually added only a minimal number of configuration options (carefully avoiding copying anything over from my previous .emacs file -- the temptation would be too great to put more than I needed).

Of course since then I have added more and more stuff over time, but I still strive for keeping my .emacs file small. It's not so much an irrational ideal as it is an attempt at keeping it manageable. And so sometimes when I open my .emacs file for some new option or whatever, I use the opportunity to also go over the file and reconsider its current state. More often than not, I end up throwing a whole bunch of stuff away again and make the file smaller and simpler.

A lot of features that Emacs offers through various packages are convenience features. They're great. But they're not essential. Essential is stuff like `(blink-cursor-mode 0)` (I would go nuts otherwise) or `(global-set-key (kbd "C-w") 'backward-kill-word-or-region)` which has become muscle memory to me. Themes and other visual goodies are less important.
In Star Wars, that kind of thing is often considered to happen due to the will of the Force, like finding Anakin on Tatooine. Some would call it lazy writing, but I don't mind in Star Wars' case.
didn't read the article closely, but i'm sick of people getting memed into caring about things like intermittent fasting and honey vinegar drinks (???) and mindfulness meditation apps.

It seems like people are unable to focus on the big picture stuff that actually matters (don't get fat, sleep enough, have enough money to not be broke, have good relationships with family and friends, managing stress effectively, etc.). So they get obsessed with these random things nobody gives a fuck about and fail at the big picture stuff.

That makes no sense. Wouldn't that be like punishing Theil for supporting a political candidate? This fundamental right should be taken away from ppl who have companies that could apply for govt contracts.

Even if assume that this contract was awarded due to corruption. Wouldn't that also mean we have no way to control corruption and hold ppl accountable so we resort to absurd policies like banning ppl from their free speech rights.
When I started using Vim, I found ESC to be too far of a reach and ctrl-[ to be too unfamiliar. I used ctrl-c for years, but that caused muscle memory problems when switching between other editors that use vim keybindings.

Eventually, I got used to ESC. I move my hand more than bend my wrist, so it isn't so bad. I hit ESC with my left ring finger. I also try to plan my next keystrokes and/or move my right hand into next position while my left hand reaches for ESC.

I've found that moving ctrl to the capslock key also helped reduce wrist motion, though it makes using other people's computers more annoying, since I try to do everything on the keyboard with pure muscle memory.

Yes, that’s how it was for me in 2016. They do spot check IDs in Beijing at least, but tend to leave foreigners alone. I never got what they would do if a chinese wasn’t carrying their ID, I imagine it isn’t very common to take that on the subway!

I'm currently following the apprentice model you're describing with my own children. Each of my kids are interested in a particular project of their choosing (personal website, mobile game, robotics). All are very simplistic projects but are fun and unique enough that each are excited about their own project and share progress with each other throughout the week. I spend one hour per kid every weekend 1-on-1 reviewing the progress, making suggestions, etc. Its very rewarding.
Good point, I do buy that the article’s proximity and power of suggestion has (mis) led you to think you know something you don’t.

The Bud Light joke had been seen by hundreds of millions of people, with dozens examples of the joke in those ads. Kids in my school had been practicing that joke in various situations. I am certain you’ve drastically mis-calculated the probability of someone repeating the joke. I’d be surprised if tens of thousands of people hadn’t thought the same joke independently.

In case you hadn’t followed the immediate thread, people who believed the shuttle disaster couldn’t have been seen live were (like you) wrong.
> Good luck retaining any skilled professionals then.

I was thinking exactly the same. I’m spinning up a small technical manufacturing business and my first products will have wireless capabilities. I’d better not pay my wireless engineers and programmers the same price as my unskilled assemblers. The former can save me hundreds of thousands per year with their acquired knowledge; the latter, dozens of dollars over China. And if I ever get big enough to need C-level execs, I’ll never fill the positions with good employees on tech support pay.

This world is set up to reward value, not hard work. It’s hard work to dig a ditch, but not terribly valuable. A well-paid, intelligent, quality C-level exec can create more value in a week than a hundred cashiers can in a month.

Well, the explanation is probably that I've been taken in by a meme. I should have added a disclaimer that I've not actually played infiniminer a good deal earlier in the thread, and my feeling that Minecraft was derivative was almost entirely based on its timing, visual similarity, and my understanding that the basic mechanic (digging through voxel based terrain) was the same.

An additional factor that made me extra-specially susceptible to this meme is that when I played minecraft, I immediately thought it was essentially a dumbed-down version of dwarf fortress with better graphics. What I saw at the time as the basic innovation - which I think is still what makes dwarf fortress exceptional, is a game that uses a tiling or cubic grid to allow for real creative play, with an attendant focus on mining, survival, and craft.

I don't think Star Wars is a rip-off of star trek, but it absolutely is and was always intended as a derivative work. All the ideas and content was developed in earlier sci-fi. Star Wars was an interesting contribution in terms of execution - and that's exactly why I like it. It had genuinely new ideas about set design and special effects. Minecraft, on the other hand, has no new ideas I can think of.

I still think it's a good game - and I'm very happy that when my kid hits the age where they wanna play games, I can point them to Minecraft and be pretty certain they're not going to be loading naked kidnapped people into a sausage factory (I played GTA2 when I was a kid), or squashing people with tanks, or irradiating them until they turn into mush. I mean, I guess they'll do those things at some point to, but it's nice that there's an actual honest-to-goodness kids game out there that doesn't suck.
D is much, much easier to get into than rust though. Rust is in the C++/Scala realm of complexity, while D is as easy as C# or Java.

But D does not have the hype-machine behind it that rust does. Rust also does have advantages, it's a bit more safe by default, and is based around concepts that are very much in-vogue (ADTs and pattern matching). But I don't think rust is nearly as productive.

We'll see how it all shakes out.
Richard Binder is a legend in the fountain pen community, both for his skill and helpfulness in repairing and restoring pens, but also as one of the community's best curmudgeons. (Nathan, of Noodler's ink fame is another.)

I've been a big fan of Richard for years, while using exclusively Noodler's ink for its permanence. I've had no ill effects. (Twitch, twitch.)
I don't see how that could be the case with industries with large productivity/talent gaps, like software.

And yet: https://github.com/hng/tech-coops#coops

The gaps problem seems self-correcting; anyone who thinks they are underpaid will leave, and conversely the team will probably push out those badly underperforming. You'll still have gaps, but only among people who don't mind getting paid the same despite them.

I think you mean "cars are periodically requested to stop", at least, I haven't seen any crosswalks around here with physical barriers that make the cars stop.

But unfortunately, that's not the only hazard pedestrians face from cars, not too long ago I saw a car jump the curb and run into a (fortunately) empty bus shelter. If anyone was waiting at that shelter, they'd have ended up under the car.

So yeah, I'd feel safer taking a paternoster every day than walking to work... at least then, my safety is in my own hands.

Russia went from being a country pushed around by the Japanese, with an GDP equivalent to 1917 Brazil, to a superpower sending satellites, men into space, probes to the Moon (the first country to do so). It also had little crime and little poverty.

Lower and middle classes were basically under oppressive regime.

Obviously the dictionary disagrees.
But feeling productive and being productive are not necessarily the same thing. Sometimes I feel really productive at a task (e.g. writing a nested data arser in Bash) with a lot of unnecessary drudge work because I can comfortably plug away at it for a long period of time. But with the drudge work mitigated (e.g. using a real language with a parser framework) I'm left focusing on the hard problems, which causes me to become mentally drained more quickly, procrastinate more, and feel less productive overall.
I use fountain pens when I can because I like the feel of writing with them and, to a limited extent the, I enjoy the ritual of caring for the instruments.

It has long bothered me that I cannot simply buy pen ink without the background information presented in this article. Because of the issue of inks damaging my pens, I've become increasingly unwilling to experiment with new brands of ink or trying sensational colors. I now limit myself strictly to inks sold by pen manufacturers (specifically, Pelikan, Waterman, and Parker), which don't pose the problems discussed in this article.

My observation is that functional languages which are REPL-focused (such as Haskell and Mathematica) generally empower the author to well understand/test/"debug" smaller pieces of her code. In contrast, in traditional non-REPL languages such as Java and C(++), this requires writing special testing code within the actual code.

Similarly, at least in imperative languages, I made the experience that people who develop with a debugger write less testable code then people who do the debugging in their code, for instance with assertions or test frameworks. Sometimes I feel these two groups are disjoint.
> Good luck retaining any skilled professionals then.

It's a good wholesaler where employees “multiskill” so that roles re flexible; virtually all skilled professionals are probably outsourced (which isn't uncommon in firms where professional services aren't the core business, even if they aren't coops.)

Equal pay isn't a universal (or even dominant) norm for worker coops, though they do tend to have flatter pay structures than traditional firms.

> One of the most repulsing stories that I got from Soviet Union from my grandparents was about excellent engineers being on the same pay scale with manual labour workers.

Which would be germane if we were talking about either the Soviet Union or a system with that feature, which we are not.
FYI, there is a new episode on american greed which pretty much shows how these type of operations worked. Insys basically gave the kickbacks by having the doctors give "speeches" but it turns out no speeches were given and the doctors got the checks anyways.

People who have sickle cell anemia still have a life expectancy of years (>40 in US). On the other hand, getting malaria usually means you mortality is measured in days not years. Everyone has a "100% mortality" but the window of survival differs between diseases.

Hmm, I've used Vi and other editors long enough that I find it annoying that most editors enter text when in normal mode.
In the post-WW II economic "golden age," roughly up through the early 1970s, American manufacturing workers and the corporations they worked for were also both doing well. That fell apart as America went from a net exporter to net importer. I'm unsure if the importer/exporter transition is a direct cause, because a lot of things changed in the 1970s, but that's about the time the party ended.

I wonder if Germany will do better when/if Germany no longer has a substantial export surplus. I hope that it can. It's mathematically impossible for every country to run an export surplus, so "look to Germany" is a useful prescription only if there are other good ways to imitate Germany.

>Don't just be a consumer but write something as soon as you're inspired. I wish there were more emphasis on writing mathematics in school prior to the graduate level. Leslie Lamport says if you're thinking but not writing you're not really thinking; you only think you're thinking. For Feynman the act of discovery wasn't complete until he had explained it to someone. There's also the rule of thumb that if you can't explain a mathematical concept to a ten year old, you don't understand it yourself.

Fantastic quotes and points, thanks for sharing.
Worker cooperatives tend have the problem that it's hard to compare contributions of labour. The coop model tends to work best when most or all the workers are of a similar sort. More cohesion and less resentment that way. That's probably why the company has everyone do every job.

Specialists are hard to employ like that, but the trick is that you don't need to hire them. Rather than keeping an accountant in house, you can just contract an accounting firm to handle it. You might not have an in-house lawyer, but you'll be a client for a law firm.

That being said, there may be some soul searching when Jim the Janitor complains he's basically a second-class employee because technically he just works for the company you're leasing the building from.
