What you both describe is large cultural division between survival values and self-expression values between two generations.

In quickly developing countries some people already live modern life but their parents come from very traditional valued society. What in the west is cultural division between grandparents and grandchildren can be division between parents and children.

Political scientist Ronald Inglehart (known for Inglehart-index and Inglehart–Welzel cultural map used in the World Values Survey) noticed the same difference between post-war generations and their parents. His book 'The Silent Revolution' (1977) was the first attempt to map these differences between generations and cultures.

I noticed similar cultural division after Soviet Union collapsed in 1992 and I made friends with Russians of my age who moved to Finland, I realized that they shared the same values as my parents (and I have old parents).

If AMD were making conscious efforts to avoid side channel attacks they'd already have had various features to show for it like IBRS. But AMD's chips say nothing about side channel attacks. Their manuals do not discuss Spectre attacks. And there is no evidence anywhere that they knew about Meltdown type attacks and chose to avoid them.

I get that suddenly hating on Intel is cool and popular, but the facts remain. There is no reason to believe AMD has any advantage here.

You're likely to have filtered a lot more than you think simply by consciously selecting which server and which channel to join. I don't know which kind of filtering you're referring to, but if you're talking about those that constitute echo chambers, IRC isn't really helping much in that regard.

everything is deadly at large doses

...

if we were to ban everything that leads to
a certain point of toxicity, we would not
be able to live with anything around us

No, that's not how this works.

The salient point here, is that we know about specific things which are predominantly non-essential, and atrociously bad for everyone.

Lead. Asbestos. Cigarette smoke. DDT. Plutonium. This list is not exhaustive.

Believe it or not, humanity is well acquainted with some natural, persistent, toxic villains, that no one needs to share a room with. No one's life is actually better with any of these things.

Yeah, coffee has low concentrations of acrylamide in it. Then, use that to argue that there's the same sort of calculated risk in the stimulant side-effects sought by those who self administer a cigarette's dose of smoke.

People try to form the same sort of argument, when contrasting natural substances and materials, versus synthetic counterparts. Gee, everything's natural! Yes, and the sun will swallow the better part of the solar system during its red giant phase. Except, that's not the point.

Muddying the waters, by digging up grey zone edge cases doesn't make asbestos a desirable choice for consumer goods, or even professional products. It doesn't make cigarettes good for anyone. It doesn't make lead a practical additive for gasoline. It doesn't mean we should render random birds extinct as by-catch, so we can barbecue all summer. It doesn't mean plutonium, in any amount, should be handled beyond the watchful eyes of armed guards by pretty much anyone.

Disagree. Currently helping run a summer camp with lots of < 18 year olds where we try to limit phone usage in group sessions. Snapchat is used for everything, probably sexting too, but as far as I can tell it's the goto instant messaging. When they're on their phones during sessions, they're all snapping each other. Insta is also ubiquitous - aside from following people, lots of them use it to discover smaller/niche bands (eg grime), for example. Facebook? Really uncool. Their parents are on Facebook.

Big component of these apps is the group dynamic. Plays well with the current culture of social capital, messages can be easily broadcast, rated, commented on, shared around. But you also have the option of things being semi-ephemeral.

Point #2 about being sales focus instead of product focused reminds me of a town hall that Jobs had when he came back to Apple...

The hardest thing is: How does that fit into a cohesive, larger vision, that's going to allow you to sell eight billion dollars, 10 billion dollars of product a year? And one of the things I've always found is that you've got to start with the customer experience and work backwards to the technology. You can't start with the technology and try to figure out where you're going to try to sell it.

And doing the opposite led to the Apple Watch.

If Apple had been a smaller company, it wouldn’t have had the chance to right the ship by version 3.

Well, fabbing using reasonably respectable processes only runs circa $2000/mm2 or so, and using crazy old process nodes like CMOS et al gets you down to $300/mm2, so you could very well make something.

If you need to use the JVM ...

> walk and modify the AST at compile time

Clojure is best for this. A macro only a few lines long in Clojure will do the same as what a few hundred lines in Apache Groovy are required for. It's possible to walk the AST in Groovy but it's verbose and messy.

> CompileStatic that go a long way

Both Kotlin and Scala are both statically typed from the ground up, instead of having a @CompileStatic annotation tacked on later.

> the brevity and expressiveness of Groovy

Groovy started off in 2003 as a functionally similar clone of Beanshell, which had already existed since 1999, but with closures added. Someone then translated all the standard functional methods from Ruby into Groovy's codebase. Of course, Jython, a JVM version of Python, has been around since 1997. So Groovy is a relative late comer to the JVM in this regard.

Groovy tried to be a bit of everything for everyone on the JVM, but has ended up being used only for 20-line build scripts in Gradle.

Is there a performance hit compared to "native" Python?
As a programmer, when I write documentation I try to make this work profitable for me. First, I open the specifications I had and I try to describe how it was implemented. Often, this means I have to give a look to my code or tests and this makes me identify a bug or a missing test. I try to be concise and to avoid repetitions because big documentations are more expensive to maintain. At the end, I try to imagine the future me who will have completely forgotten this project and will be asked questions by users who will start using it. When I finish a project, I free my mind of all the details.
Interesting! Do you take pure ascorbic acid, or a buffered form such as magnesium ascorbate, or a liposomal version?

Also, how big do you estimate the impact CoQ10 has? Have you considered ubiquinol?

From my own toolbox, I can highly recommend near infrared therapy (easy to setup your own little sauna for about 50 bucks, just buy some lamps and drill the sockets onto a wooden board); also CBD is a great recovery aid, in case you haven’t tried it (up the dose slowly, there IS a Goldilocks dose for everyone).
>It's not a very valid comparison to say that something that was cutting edge technology in 1959 is cheaper now than it was 60 years ago

Great articles (there is a part 2 here:
https://blog.stoplight.io/writing-documentation-when-you-are... )

The article is about API documentation, but the points apply to every documentation.

I think however that a few things are missing in the articles:

1- an OVERVIEW/INTENT page/paragraph.

This is THE thing that is missing in almost every -if not all- documentation I've ever read.

An example that I always use to illustrate the point: the "File" API. In EVERY documentation I've ever seen, the usage of each function/method is detailled, but NOT why some function must be used before others (opening a file is NOT an obvious concept); the concepts (what is a file?), the workflow are NEVER explained.

And Files are basic stuff, what about GUIs? Ever used a big GUI toolset? It's miserable! They never include the high level stuff, you have to dig a lot and if you are lucky, maybe you'll find a blog womewhere that gives a few insights in the mind of the creators. IF you are lucky. So you end up using the wrong type of widget or function (because they look alike) until you crash & burn and realize that it was the wrong choice for your purpose, because NOTHING is explained, you have to discover everything at your cost.

2- graphics/workflow charts

This is related to my first point. When I write documentation I include -at least- one high level graphic that shows how the various parts of the system interact, sometimes a flowchart or a Finite-state diagram (when a FSM is used, obviously).

-----

When I give a module to my coworkers (be they testers or users of my API), I give them that additional documentation which makes it MUCH easier to understand and test/use. What I find stunning is that I'm always the ONLY ONE to do so! At most my coworkers will write _some_ documentation to explain a few difficult points, but it will mostly be comments, not documentation for an user of their API/module. And if you point it out, the reaction will range from "I've no interest in that" to "it's not necessary, the code talks for itself"... To them, the -automatically generated- JavaDoc comments are "enough", which is total B.S.

The most infuriating is that all this -undocumented- code is always the result of a HUGE amount of work and dedication. But it is invariably cruely hobbled by that missing step: helping the users use it properly. I see it everyday in Free/Open source tools, and I've seen it in every project in the companies I've worked with (except mine of course)...

So you spend lots of time trying to understand how the stupid thing is supposed to work instead of doing your real work.

There is a LONG way before the importance of documentation (and comments) is accepted as what it is: VITAL. Unfortunately, as for testing and security, management not only don't encourage the practice, but they often discourage it (poo-pooing -or worse- such concerns).
Reminded me of this recent news article:

I didn't love it, but if you want a book about system design interviews this is probably your number one choice.

Inside Netflix’s Notebook-Driven Architecture
This is essentially how all business works. When I got my first job before I went to university I was very surprised to learn that accountants always pay invoices on the very last day of the terms rather than as soon as they can. Since everyone else is going to pay you as late as they poassibly can, if you pay your invoices as soon as you can you'll lose out in the long run.

The way everyone tries to get slightly more from other people than they give back is one of the things I dislike most about humans. I wish we had a system that punished such behaviour rather than rewarding it.

I think the issue is that the frameworks in Haskell expose the generic abstractions they're built on, whereas in another language a similar framework would just offer opaque magic. E.g. when writing a web endpoint you can see that you're returning something that uses a monad transformer and you can easily dive into the details of what that means and what the framework functions that manipulate that are actually doing: in the long run you will eventually want to do that, but in the short run "the framework will call your function with these parameters, by magic, and customizing that behaviour requires you to change things in the framework's internals" can actually be easier to get started with, since it tells you clearly which parts you should be messing with and which you shouldn't.

I don't have a good answer, because I wouldn't want to stop building Haskell frameworks that way. But I do agree it's a problem.
Economic freedom only starts at middle class and above. (Like when your family can risk $300.000 for your online book store)

For the poor, you are free to choose your boss (and agree to obey thus sign away your freedom) or sink deeper into poverty and eventually starve to death...

Though there is no gun involved, I would not call this freedom.

But a kind of freedom which (thankfully) still exists is the freedom to reach out to others. So why would you oppose people that use their freedom to push back against obvious mistreatment (in this case by spreading the word)?

the privatizing portion of the the article time and such is a bit out of place. the poor are subject to abuse by those in positions of power and it all has to do with insufficient laws to protect everyone from the abuse of government officials.

A recent story on Reason (yes I know their leanings) pointed to a suburb of Atlanta with excessive fines for issues that harmed no one except of course those who could not afford it [1]

the poor are not just hit by the justice system but they are hit by all sorts of government fees and regulatory policies that can force them into expensive schools just to do simple jobs like braid hair. Occupational licensing costs can keep many from productive jobs to get themselves out of the poor house.

so if you want to fix it it has to be done at the legislative level. restrictions of how fines and fees are assessed. people joke that HOAs are bad have seen nothing when faced with over zealous county and city code enforcers.

Depressing it is but I found this way of thinking self-destructive. We cannot change the fact that most people view themselves as the best hagglers ever. It is probably the only area in their lives where they have actual influence. Maybe if the system in general was not so cut-throat there would be less hagglers (although I kind of doubt it; for many people it's their air and water).

In the end it's about what choice you make. If you choose to help the community then you must be prepared that it will be a thankless and hard job. If you cannot bear it, don't help the community.

The Bipartisan Cry of ‘Not in My Backyard’
And not surprisingly, industry groups continue to claim that moderate amounts of alcohol are healthy, prefering to believe only in "evidence based" studies they sponsored themselves.

It took a long time for me to realise how dangerous drinking is. We need to make people aware of this. Most people still believe that getting drunk occasionally, or having a drink a day, is not a problem. Just until recently, I had no idea that drinking causes cancer. Missing awareness is not something we'll solve overnight, but I believe it is possible. For a start, we could put warning labels on bottles like we have on cigarettes.

I think everyone should have the right to enjoy alcohol, but we should know what it does to our body!

Even a smaller generational gap here: my father was born in 1920, my uncle in 1918, at time of civil war in my country (Finland). The family was not the poorest but getting food on the table was a concern. Boys went to work in the forest at the age of 12. Uncle went through prisoner of waonr camps in Russian in 1940, father spent 1941-1944 the front, looking for bread crumbs in the pockets of any Russian KIA he'd find.

I was born in 1960's and even though the world has changed hugely since that time (mostly for the better), I never worried about having enough food. I was frustrated by my parents' need for hoarding: no old piece of cloth or broken tool or piece of scrap metal was too worn out to throw away. But I notice I have mental trouble of throwing away scrap metal or old pieces of electronics myself.
