Did we read the same article? I got exactly the opposite point from the article: that apps preceed infrastructure, e.g. light bulbs came before the electric grid and airplanes came before airports. The apps are made better by the infrastructure but are still useful without it. That infrastructure supports new apps that wouldn't be useful without the infrastructure, but the infrastructure is always built for the previous apps, not the new ones it will make possible.
Yes, and a lot of left-leaning people continue to think that “just a bit more government regulation and subsidies” and they’ll get it right - this time for sure!

Housing - build more and higher density.

Healthcare - price transparency and make it easier to shop around. Incentivize frugality.

Education - stop letting 18 year olds take out $200k in loans for poetry degrees.

It’s almost like industries protected from essential market functions become disasters! Who would have thought?

Breitbart is actually quite accurate, I'd say it's no more misleading than any other mainstream publication. I'd wager that most people here don't actually read the website yet hold strong opinions on its reporting, which in itself is sad.

I challenge everyone who disagrees to look at Breitbart's front page right now and find an article you would consider objectively false or more biased than the average CNN or HuffPo article.

What is the case is that very often Breitbart reports on things more mainstream sites refuse to report on. It's real diversity of perspective like this that's actually valuable in a free society.

But Breitbart doesn't tow the ideological line, so it gets banned.

When we ban websites like Breitbart we lose sources that examine sides of issues that often go unexamined, or issues that get ignored altogether.

How to read paywalled scientific articles free (legally)
If you sit down for a weekend and write a one shot project that's never going to be used in production 1500 LOC is more than doable, especially as a college student where you sometimes can go many weeks without doing anything productive.

Sitting at a desk for 6-8 hours every weekday with an editor in front of you has this weird demotivating effect. Add to that all the unit tests (and general need for stuff to actually work well the first time), documentation, and not being able to just run off and build what ever you feel like and you get closer to 30-45 LOC.
just because it works better than placebo doesn't make it the best treatment.

all over the world, terapies works better than antidepressants, with infinitely less undesirable side effects for patient and society. yet in the US it is very common to treat depression (and many other conditions) with drugs alone.

arguments against drugs is not favor of "don't do anything". that argument would be extremely dumb.

just to give some perspective on how badly interpreted the data is in your argument: brain-splitting surgery, which is still used for epilepsy, also shows a cure for several other conditions, yet nowadays you would be a criminal for even suggesting it for things it was widely used 20 years ago.

I have walked and accidentally driven in such areas in Europe, but the street layout and dynamics are very different in the US. The problem is that in the US we have wide, straight streets. We don't have the same kind of built-in traffic calming. There is also much more driver entitlement here.

Turning some areas into woonerfs might be a solution. It's also worth pointing out that many pedestrianized areas still allow delivery vehicles.

The web version of word lacks an equation editor (someone told me this is partly due to MS loosing the source code for the one in word.)

If you have to write papers with a lot of math in them libreoffice's equation editor is way better anyway. It rarely crashes and uses it's own simple markup language instead of the finicky WYSIWYG editor in word.

Tyler Cowen's post is a short read, little more than a coattail-riding list of "breakthroughs in our philosophic understanding of the world" (and an idiosyncratic one at that: "12. Singapore..."?), with their attribution to philosophy justified with the platitude that anyone doing anything in these fields is doing philosophy. One question this approach raises, but does not answer, is whether the continued existence of academic philosophy as an independent discipline is justified, and that is the question Callard is attempting to address.

In attempting to distance herself from Cowen's justification-by-significant-exports, Callard stresses internal measures of progress in philosophy, that inadvertently give the impression that the field is somewhat self-referential.

Callard does better, I think, when she proposes an alternative "export" to those in Cowen's list: the habit of critical and disciplined thinking about real-world issues that are never going to be settled once and for all - predominantly in the realm of moral philosophy, I assume (I hope this is not a misrepresentation or trivialization of Callard's point.) The ancients' relevance is that they got the ball rolling, and each generation could do a lot worse than beginning its debate over these issues by following in their footsteps.

Pandoc is definitely my favorite way to do word processing.

You can edit the markdown in vim which IMO is mentally easier to write prose in because you're not distracted with all the formatting and spelling. You use aspell for spell check and pandoc/pdflatex for typsetting.
The problem seems to be that on many platforms, advocating something like enforcing existing immigration law gets you downvoted and shouted down as though you were advocating gassing the Jews. It seems to be even less tolerated than more extremist comments, because actual-Nazi comments get publicized as "look how terrible The Other Side is" whereas a more reasoned right-wing position might actually convince people.

For example, the top level comment in this thread has been flagged to death even though its gist is that people should look for news from multiple perspectives.

And when you have that kind of populist sentiment attacking anything that questions the party line, reasoned counterargument gets mushed into the same outlets that carry extremist conspiracy theories because they're the only ones not being cowed. Which naturally leads to the kind of polarization we've been seeing lately where both sides move away from the middle.
> Right before WW I European economies had become integrated to an unprecedented extent, and people were saying that the integration would discourage war.

And maybe it did; unfortunately, the myth of offense dominance guaranteed that diplomatic crises would escalate uncontrollably into war, masking any effect which discouraged war as a choice in its own right rather than as a preventive measure against the risk that an opponent would choose war.

It's very difficult to isolate and evaluate the effect of one factor.

Spike tickets are one of the funniest ways I’ve seen this handled. All it can really tell you is whether, in some short initial investigation, there is a known blocker, usually on the technical implementation side.

But the problems that make estimation useless are problems that only surface after detailed digging that takes time and cross-team communication not realistically possible in time-boxed spike tickets, involving happening onto things that were not known and could not be known within a short spike timeframe.

Spike tickets are just an Agile bureaucracy thing to paper over the fact that estimation is intrinsically problematic to some fundamental aspects of one-size-fits-all methodologies like Agile.

Essentially for a spike ticket to be helpful in the common case, you need a spike ticket that just says, “actually go and complete the whole task you’re trying to estimate and then come back and tell us how long it really took.”
I wanted to purchase subscription to Google Hire. I literally had the credit card in my hand. But there was no way to pay. Not even a way to sign up for a free trial right away. I called them several times, no response.

More than a month later, someone finally responded. The person sounded like he is doing me a favor by getting back. In the meantime I started using another ATS that worked well for us. The salesperson response was effectively, "duh ... we are Google".

I see they have the pricing online now: https://hire.google.com/request-demo/. But still no way to pay or sign up for a trial right away.

This article is absolute bullshit and quite frankly dangerous. It seems to me this woman was emotionally vulnerable and taken in by a snake oil huckster masquerading as a doctor.

> Shortly after I started seeing him, my new doctor had me read the book Anatomy of an Epidemic by Robert Whitaker.

Robert Whitaker's theses in that book have repeatedly been scientifically disproven. It's anti-science drivel.

> The pharmaceutical industry also says that mental illness represents a physical problem with the brain that needs to be fixed. There are no studies that prove that this is true.

This statement is untrue. Literally three seconds of googling showed me this: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4471964/

Which basically says that when we deplete the body of certain neurotransmitters, people get depressed. That sounds like a pretty clear statement that there are biological processes at play in mental illness.
That was clearly stated in the article I read.

Honestly, the Linux desktop war has been won by Debian/Ubuntu. I know of no casual Linux desktop user who's not on Ubuntu, or a Debian version that's sufficiently close.

Packaging for Ubuntu first and having a tarball that any other use can play around with to get running is fine for most commercial software's needs. Chances are if you're running Slackware, Gentoo, Nix, or other non-mainstream Linux distros you'd be hard pressed to use commercial software anyway.
I'm very interested in 'new things', especially in this area, and I find it incredibly frustrating how bad they often are for a significant number of users.

One of the more promising initiatives I've seen recently is Patchwork, which is a kind of Facebook or social network that runs on the Secure Scuttlebutt (SSB) protocol.

It's a user-friendly app that you can download, and after getting over the hurdle of adding a 'pub', you can get things going pretty quickly.

What frustrates me is that I can imagine quite a few people would go through the trouble to install the app, non-geeks included, even though it means going to a weird .nz domain and even though simply searching for 'Patchwork' on Google isn't enough. In my experience there's a subset of the general population that will be willing to do this.

But then they get an app that does nothing, and they'll have to figure out that to use the app, they need to add a 'pub' server. Doing so requires a bit of searching and then adding the pubs to the app. I'd say that's a bridge too far for most.

The same goes for developers. Patchwork is written in Node.js and for various reasons there's no easy way to write clients in other languages. Even though I am familiar with Node.js programming, it's enough of a hurdle that even as a fan I just resigned myself to just wait until something more user-friendly shows up (Elixir client plz).

My point is that Patchwork/SSB has been one of the best-implemented things I've seen, and yet it sucks enough that I hesitate to recommend to 'regular' users or developers. And the frustrating thing is that, considering the effort involved, it wouldn't be that much more work to bridge the gap. But doing that is just not interesting enough, and so the whole thing remains a niche that will probably die in due time.
The terminology is different at this level. Asserted means the lines are set to whichever voltage is logically 1.

it's good for a "bootstrap" root filesystem, a starting point that is, but might be difficult to build a full blown distro. With a basic rootfs, you need a virtual machine like qemu or kvm to make a full release.

Mint is a dangerous distribution and should not be recommended to new users. Just install debian or use the ubuntu netinstall (mini.iso) or some minimalist distro like alpine (although alpine probably isn't great for new users.)
This, so much. After some 3y spend doing Clojure, having a Haskell codebase is a totally new level of stress reduction.

All of a sudden you can stop worrying about "what am I getting in this function" and actually concentrate on the business logic.

(No, tests can't cover everything. Yes, we still have to write tests, but now they are all useful. Yes, the thing that types hinder you from doing changes is a lie, it's quite the opposite, much easier to change things since the compiler covers your ass)

I should clarify that I'm from Finland, which gained independence from Russia in a clearly nationalist context. Not to belittle the troubling consequent alignment with Germany in WW2 which we tend to try to explain with "we didn't know Hitler was so evil" and the existential threat by Stalin.
Regardless, national pride can take several forms. You could learn folk song and dance. Or you can wield torches in a skinhead march. I'd very much like to reclaim the concept from the latter.
You can use spec to verify that "a value only contains items described in the spec". The core library doesn't make it easy, but spell-spec [1] contains some useful helpers.

For me, Russel put it best:

Philosophy, as I shall understand the word, is something intermediate between theology and science. Like theology, it consists of speculations on matters as to which definite knowledge has, so far, been unascertainable; but like science, it appeals to human reason rather than to authority, whether that of tradition or that of revelation. All definite knowledge—so I should contend— belongs to science; all dogma as to what surpasses definite knowledge belongs to theology. But between theology and science there is a No Man's Land, exposed to attack from both sides; this No Man's Land is philosophy

I don't know if I'd call them localised experiences per say, as I feel it minimizes what patients experience. I've probably done that to commenters here in the past regarding depression and pharmaceuticals.

However, I largely agree with what you are saying, everyone is going to have different reactions to these medicines. They're all "dirty" (note that SSRIs are far more specific in effects than previous generations of antidepressants) in terms of the vast number of effects neurotransmitters have in our brain, so it's understandable that they wouldn't work the same for everyone.
What's a senior *software engineer's job?
This is an odd false dilemma you’re presenting here. I don’t think that GP was claiming an essay along with the code is a good option or an indicator of great code, and that’s certainly not the only other option than self-documenting code.
That’s a false dichotomy though. There is a middle ground where you write concise, purposeful documentation regularly and try to automate and centralize it as much as possible. Occasionally, for very tricky algorithms or business logic, yes, you may need a few paragraphs in a comment to make it clear why something is happening. Especially if you take the perspective that you’re writing it for junior / unfamiliar readers, and not for people who could glean it from the code itself. But most of the time we’re just talking about concise function docstrings, a few lines about what a certain class is intended for. Most documentation won’t be essays.

It’s also not about whether your code “needs” documentation or comments. The code should be clean and no more complex than required, always, and refactoring is to help do that over time.

That has almost nothing to do with providing comments or documentation for future people who could be inexperienced, unfamiliar with that programming language, unfamiliar with that type of algorithm, coming to the source file many years after the last time it was edited, etc.

The reasons to need documentation are many, and even if the code “is so good it doesn’t need comments” that usually does not matter at all to the person reading the code, and that person still does need comments.

Thinking of comments as an indicator of inferior code is a dangerous code golf mentality that ignores the fact that you write comments _for people_, especially people coming to the code in a way that breaks all the assumptions the code author was thinking when they decided not to write comments.
