It took me a while to figure out that you're disagreeing with me, because your last paragraph is a perfect example of why monorepos are so dangerous.

Imagine a tooling team on a different continent that makes some changes this afternoon. Like you said, their intent is just to add a new option, and it ought to have no extensional changes in behavior, but it still ends up behaving subtly different. The next morning, all your services end up broken as a result.

In a versioned world, you can still freeze your dependency at 1.324.5234, and migrate only when you want to, and when you're feeling confident about it.

In a monorepo world, you don't have a choice. You've been forcefully migrated as soon as the tooling team decides to make the change on their end. They had the best of intentions, but that doesn't always translate to a good outcome.

FWIW, I'm currently working at a large famous company that uses a monorepo. Color me not-impressed. I do think that having a single repository for an entire team/project is a good idea. Hundreds of different projects and teams who've never seen one another? Not so much.

I'm not sure which economic policy you're referring to, so you tell me.

> deng xiaoping liberalized china's economy, but now the greatest example of a capitalist economy is totalitarian and run by the state

I'm not sure what you mean by "greatest". And while a sizeable portion of China's economy remains state-owned for political reasons, the point is that the move away from state control led to one of the greatest increases in living standards and human welfare in history.

> it's not like india became independent from britain, and used state intervention to develop their economy and protect industries with tariffs. oh wait

The onus is on you to show that state interventionism and protectionism improved the livelihood of Indians, when the evidence suggests the opposite. As I pointed out in my earlier comment, it was India's liberalization which led to massive reductions in poverty.

But that's fine. For example, you pull the thread from a pool and bind it to the request. As part of this, the thread pulls the locale object from the request and attaches to it. It services that request, and then returns to the pool. Next time it is pulled from the pool it gets a request in a different locale.

Other disciplines are possible. E.g. some operation involving multiple locales, all in one thread, can just do the uselocale calls as needed.
Well to be specific, when it comes to how content gets distributed across a billion Facebook newsfeeds...

The big problem is not that Facebook the company is picking sides, the big problem is that Facebook the company built a machine to pick sides, and told the machine to base its decisions solely on how much reaction content gets from people. So of course it over-prioritizes the worst, most shocking, most manipulative, most extreme content--because that's what gets the biggest reactions.

And the really big problem is that Facebook either doesn't understand, or wants to pretend it doesn't understand, why that is bad.

Understanding, accepting the implications, and doing something--that's what Facebook needs to do.

Current neuroscience suggests that brain operates in broadly two regimes - learning during wakefulness and model selection during sleep. Both these activities require "forgetting" of specific kinds. Specifically model selection involves trimming synapses. The goal is to learn a model of the world at the right level of detail, what AI folks call avoiding over fitting.

I think your observation is correct but there is a bit of a chicken and egg problem here.

Does Europe have more and better trains because it has denser cities or does it have denser cities because it has more and better trains?

Probably a little bit of both.
Have you ever tried to go from New York to San Francisco? It's the same distance as driving from Porto, Portugal to Abisko, Sweden. You go through 8 countries. Or Porto to Mariupol, Ukraine, in only 7 countries. It's faster in the US, through 10 states as big as European countries.

We have more people stretched out over more land with more varying regions with more varying needs and costs with more conservative social, political and economic values. Nearly all of our trade involves trucking and cargo ships, with freight making up the raw material shipping that isn't time sensitive.

It makes no financial sense whatsoever to fund railroads. We have extensive interstate highways and most of our people have cars. Why pay for a railroad the size of Europe when you don't have to go all over Europe, and all your needs are met via the existing shipping mechanisms? What would be the point?

If you took our cars away, maybe it would make sense, maybe. But before we pay for railroads we might need to pay for our health care or education.

For 5 Euros per month a cloud VPS at Hetzner.com. comes with 2 CPUs and 4GB RAM. That's 8 or maybe 16 times the RAM that Facebook probably launched with plus extra CPU and SSD disk speed. All these cobbled-together free tiers may be slightly cheaper but the added complexity I can do without. It just seems like tech for tech's sake.

Someone makes a commit to library code and production magically breaks? How does that happen?
I think that's essentially the same point as LBA in a sibling comment. The same intractability-in-practice applies to it: even if your timeout is 10 milliseconds, that's still (tens of) millions of operations on most modern CPUs and order of a gigabit written to/read from memory, which is a huge state space.
I have slight experience with both monorepos and smaller repos and I think they can both work. The advantage of smaller repos is that it forces different components to expose well designed API's. Bigger repos make sense for products and embedded software, smaller repos make sense for platforms build up of small services communicating on the internet.
It's okay, I guess: the firearm registration thing applies to essentially every kind of private ownership that the commons might have some interest in. Pinpointing it out of all possibilities betrays a very American perspective where the ability to bear arms is considered a fundamental right.

Edit: as another commenter astutely pointed out above, this rule, when sufficiently contorted, can essentially be applied to invalidate every law. It amounts to a radical mistrust of government. I wonder what the author's perspective is on property rights and their enforcement.
There are a few exceptions to the "one version" rule; the monorepo and the build system support multiple versions just fine. It's just that we don't want them.

This applies to almost every law, and illegitimate governments don't suddenly give up when there are no legitimate means (laws) that lead to their ends, they just use violence. This is deeply ignorant.
I disagree. Given the criticisms Stamos has leveled in this memo against the executive team, the quote of the headline seems very apt to me.

The memo has Stamos making points very critical of the approach of the Facebook executives (the "we") to these issues over the past several years. Much of the word count of the memo was spent on "spin" / "setting the record straight", but that is also understandable given the context, and the compensation Stamos still likely has on the table.

Perhaps Facebook _does_ need to take a side (not promoting the posts of users directly advocating violence, not selling data to 3rd parties, not employing UI 'dark patterns' to encourage users to unconsciously share private information, etc.).

Dewey's objection to the fact/value dichotomy is more against the notion that facts cannot be used to drive value judgments, not to the notion that value judgments should not be used to derive facts, which is mainly what I'm referring to here.
Just because your older versions are available to users, doesn't mean you have to continuously maintain them. For example, I know plenty of teams still using Java 7, even though Oracle has EOLed it. The teams know the risk that they are taking, and have the flexibility to decide when they want to migrate to a newer version, and that's how it should be. I would never want to live in a world where Oracle can force me to migrate to Java 10 within a day of release.

> Government monopoly on medical care. This is a bit surprising -- isn't it? If it is illegal for you to pay someone for anonymous health care then how can your "Jews in the attic" receive health care?

This is absurd. The government also has a monopoly on law enforcement, so if "Jews in the Attic" are victim of a crime how can they seek justice? From this premise, to suggest the government should not enforce laws is a non sequitor.

This actually happens to undocumented immigrants:

Yep. What does that tell you?

> illegitimate governments don't suddenly give up when there are no legitimate means (laws) that lead to their ends, they just use violence

Only if they can get away with it. That is not always the case. And that's a key point of the test: it could be rephrased as "will this make it easier for an illegitimate government to achieve its ends using violence?"
And here's the rest:

"... he must pay disgorgement of $196,203, prejudgment interest of $23,062, and a $196,203 penalty for a total of $415,468. Li also agreed to be prohibited from acting as an officer or director of a public company for a period of five years."

The last one is probably the real kicker for an executive.

> If it’s too expensive, then you don’t really value the extra space after all.

This does not follow at all. You can value the extra space to a high degree, yet still be unable to afford or unwilling to pay the premium for first class. It doesn’t mean you do not value it—especially in the case that you cannot afford a very expensive first-class ticket. Now, I’m somewhat with you where paying an extra two-digit charge for an economy+ seat is concerned, but first class is often several multiples of an economy ticket.
Very cool, what about support for mobile viewports (i.e. what if I want to monitor the temperature in my house from my TV downstairs but also on my phone in the garage?)
One of my former managers had worked a long time at Google and was present for the advent of Google’s in-house tooling developed around their monorepo.

His account was that it was basically accidental, at first resulting from short term fire drills, and then creating a snowball effect where the momentum of keeping things in the Perforce monorepo and building tooling around it just happened to be the local optimum, and nobody was interested in slowing down or assessing a better way.

He personally thought working with the monorepo was horrible, and in the company where I worked with him, we had dozens of isolated project repos in Git, and used packaging to deploy dependencies. His view, at least, was that the development experience and reliability of this approach was vastly better than Google’s approach, which practically required hiring amazing candidates just to have a hope of a smooth development experience for everyone else.

I laugh cynically to myself about this any time I ever hear anyone comment as if Google’s monorepo or tooling are models of success. It was an accidental, path-dependent kludge on top of Perforce, and there is really no reason to believe it’s a good idea, certainly not the mere fact that Google uses this approach.

That assumes your pixel distribution has much higher potential addressable resolution than the signal you care about... in which case, why not just display the full raster?

Rendering for 2D and display are two different beasts -- but I'll own the fact that I'm not formally trained in this and there may be subtleties -- or even obvious signal processing facts -- that I'm getting wrong. (But if I'm wrong, I'd love to know how, for my own edification.)
Yep. What does that tell you?

It tells you exactly what the commenter is saying. This is a really silly 'test'.
> The government also has a monopoly on law enforcement, so if "Jews in the Attic" are victim of a crime how can they seek justice?

They can't. So by the proposed test, a government monopoly on law enforcement is a bad thing and should be opposed.

If you ask "how can it be possible not to have a government monopoly on law enforcement?", note that historically that has been more often the norm than the system we have now. See, for example, David Friedman's The Machinery Of Freedom for a number of historical case studies.

> From this premise, to suggest the government should not enforce laws is a non sequitor.

No, it's a reason, as above, to not have the government have a monopoly on law enforcement.
If you're narrowly interpreting an API to mean just the function signature, then sure, if your type system is appropriately restricted then it is computable (although many type systems are Turing complete, meaning this won't be computable in all cases, for the same reasons). This is, in fact, something my comment explicitly called out.

Having signature compatibility is an important prerequisite, but I think it's possible worse to have code that compiles but does the wrong thing than to have code that doesn't compile (at least it's obvious to the developer that something needs to be fixed, in the latter case).

There's nothing about git that requires you to use it like the kernel does. Centralized version control is just a special case of decentralized, if you're using git. You still get the benefits of your repo being a peer of the master repo, like local branches.

> It tells you exactly what the commenter is saying. This is a really silly 'test'.

I think you and the other commenter are seriously missing the point.
The ability to seek justice isn't a necessity in the same way that medical care is.

That is correct, but I don't think it means what you think it means.
How are you able to build windows or ARM builds with only docker?
How does the free tier work? Can you sign up so that you only use the free tier, and builds beyond the limit are queued for the next day or don't occur at all?

Or do you need to have a "card on file" to run the free tier at all, with the chance that you'll have to pay if you somehow exceed the free tier (stuck build, etc)?

I’m puzzled that this list doesn’t include laws that allow a government to kill and imprison innocent lives in the first place.

If the government has been allowed to discriminate and target a demographic, you’ve already lost.
I think so (not the original replier).

The only part I have a strong logical objection to is "Furthermore I told them that if it fails this test no further discussion is really needed, the law must be opposed in the most vigorous manner possible."

Asking a single question is a poor way to get absolute perspective on topics. Especially those as complicated as presented. Instead it leads you to be overly dismissive and combative of alternative viewpoints.
“Will this law make it difficult or impossible to protect innocent life from a government intent on their imprisonment or death?”

This makes no sense to me. A tyrannical government can change the law. If there’s a law that will make it easier for them to commit atrocities, they can make it happen. Enacting that law now, or refusing to do so, won’t make a bit of difference. Laws should be evaluated on their merits as things stand now, not based on their effects on a hypothetical where current laws don’t even matter.

What is the definition of 'government' here? Also, whatever that definition is, it doesn't need a monopoly on law enforcement, but only some of the authority over it.
You do? Or the sites you're scraping do?
The ultimate law in this case is discrimination. If it can get away with targeting anyone - an individual or a demographic - for imprisonment or murder, the game is already lost.
That's an awfully crude test, that derives its power from its appeal to emotion.

Which is not to say it's prima facie wrong, but to point out that its correctness should be separated from its emotional impact, which is very tough for most humans to do.

Those in power often do not reach the critical mass needed to completely change or flout the laws at their whim. But they are able to selectively enforce existing laws or otherwise use them to target people they don't like. This has been the case throughout history, even under monarchies and during the rise of fascism. Existing laws matter.
The point is to attempt to connect all sorts of laws the author doesn't like to Nazism and the holocaust. It's a common 2A-absolutist trope but it's so ahistorical, dumb and offensive nobody else takes it seriously. That's really all there is to it.
