Code is a formal specification at a very particular level. But you can have formal specifications of any level you like that is just as precise and mechanical as code (and usually much clearer).
I'm not sure about a shift from war, (though maybe this happens also).

I'm not really sure what drives it, honestly. I'm just talking observationally, about what kind of polities ended up emerging, however they emerged.

We are now living in an era of near absolute nationalism. Polity & nation are nearly synonyms for our generation.

I agree with the criticism that 14th-15th century Spain was not really a national state, but (like you) I think that the distinction is mostly a matter of convention. I'm calling it a proto-nation state.

The emerging Spanish language, culture, and pre-existing religious identity became a core part of what Spain is. Minority languages, customs and religions became a (literal and metaphorical) heresy. They were eventually all given the same ultimatuum as the Jews (again, metaphorically and literally), assimilate into the mainstream religion, language and culture or leave.

Embellished is not the same as made up. Adam could be a real person, just obviously not the first man, but the first patriarch recorded by jew tradition, so his story was mixed with the creation tale. Egyptians believed that pharaohs were gods. Talking animals might be a misunderstanding, when animal names were actually monikers for some persons or tribes, etc.

>>Allow people to be educated and learn how to handle their finances rather than being protected from all danger to the point of being locked out, and you'll have informed individuals capable of handling their own affairs. Let Johnny touch the stove to see that it's hot and he'll learn right quick!

This is some extreme oversimplification of 1-human behavior and 2- how easy is it to teach people immediate need denial for long term benefit. No matter how many times you tell people the parable of the ant and the grasshopper, it's still just a story. It's not how the human mind works (generally).

On the inverse end, I could point out how every "self made man who didn't need help from nobody and just smarted his way to the top" was likely helped in countless circumstances that have nearly nothing to do with his direct actions. Humans are great at creating narratives, regardless of whether there is actual causality.

Socialism wants to save everyone from a biased, unfair, inequitable system, understanding that a herd is stronger than an individual and that spreading risk across the board means fewer catastrophic events for the individual. The goal is to lower the upper limit and raise the lower limit. It's not an attempt to pander to poor foolish baby people who can't do a finances for themselves, it's saying that there's no reason for a civil society to allow some to suffer debilitating hardships at the hands of a system they were forced into through circumstance alone while others reap unjust rewards. It's not perfect, but leaving "the free market (tm)" alone and not regulating leads to slavery and child labor and private paramilitaries protecting corporate kings as the past has shown.
Ask HN: Any good resource on writing your own mmap allocator?
I've been experimenting with using mmapped files as storage. One thing that I'm trying out is writing variable sized records to an mmapped file. However, I'll also be supporting deletions and updates, so fragmentation can become a big problem. Moreover, there could be records written at different times that need to be physically "colocated" for efficiency.

My question is, are there good resources to get started on working on on-disk allocators? I don't want to get there in a day, but need a solid direction. Thanks!
> the money distribution gets unfairly balanced based on whichever locality has more clever marketing.

You might be able to mostly solve this by automatically registering people to a default hometown, and making it very annoying to change your registration.

That latter part might be doable by simply allowing the municipalities to administrate their own hometown lists, so you'd have to contact your current hometown to transfer your registration to a your new hometown. They'd be economically motivated to make it as difficult as canceling a gym membership.

Interesting stuff is happening performance-wise. I have my eye on both Racket-on-Chez and pycket.
Importantly, this is actually true of the real numbers.
Equalizing the funding doesn't help much if you're still stuck going to school based on where you live. If all the rich kids go to one school and all the poor kids go to another, it's entirely predictable that you'll have vastly different outcomes.

I once conversed with a friend in college who had grown up upper-middle class and attended very nice public schooling. She told me that poor schools would be better if the parents just got more involved with PTA, etc. I thought, what an ignorant and privileged position to think that, yes, a single mother working two jobs to make ends-meet has the time and energy to go to PTA meetings! Locking kids into the school they are closest too only means that they've got basically the same support structures as the local community. And if the people of that community aren't in a position to help improve things, then improvement doesn't come.
I got better when two things happened.

1) Write a lot of code. Like a ton, more than anyone else on the team.
2) Get feedback from people on that code.
May be true but you certainly can't tell by observing the buildings, programs, staff, or other resources in the poor districts.
New Mexico may be a bit of an outlier since they aren't deep red like some other western states? I would certainly say that New Jersey is bribing e.g. Montana, North Dakota, etc. If the residents of those states had their way, the Department of Interior would be run differently, entitlements would be lower, Israel wouldn't get so much support, etc.
But as mentioned multiple times, I do know heaps. I've written heaps that were deployed in production software even. Yet given a question that asks without context "Write a max heap" I'd be lost. That's not a term I know.

Conflation of terminology (about which heaps are already a terribly confusing example) with expertise is kinda the essence of why this kind of list is garbage.

And in any case, I retreat the broader point that has nothing to do with my personal vocabulary: the question wasn't even asking about how heaps work! It just wanted to know you could write a class declaration with the API.
I got 1 TB for free with TransIP STACK. They use encryption on their end, I use on mine as well (Cryptomator). Its cross-platform (basically their clients are a fork from OwnCloud/NextCloud), there's a web interface, simple to share with others, and it works on every filesystem AFAIK. No vendor lock-in.

The only thing Dropbox has going for it, is that it was the first one which was both easy and popular when there was demand for it. That's all. Network effect example numero uno.
Amazon didn't pay their workers a living wage for a long time, having them subsidised with taxpayer money and used their position to be be able to sell at a loss to destroy competition. Plus their dubious tax arangements.

Facebook is Facebook. I find their business model, their dark patterns, and their lies to people and politicians to be an example of what I'm talking about.

Uber basically skirted the laws of every city they operated in as if they had immunity. Not to mention all the other scandals the compan has been involved in or responsible for.

As for the other companies I don't know enough of their inner workings over the years, but I'm not convinced they are squeaky clean at all.
Even in non-communist France these horrible concrete boxes were once hailed as the future of housing. When they were first built they had all the comfort the middle class yearned for at the time. The problem is that they degraded very fast and soon became synonymous with "poor people houses".

I just asked in my work chat, about a dozen Englishmen, based around Lancashire and Yorkshire; all have either a dryer or a washer-dryer; one guy in London has a washer-dryer. These are not rich people, just middle-class IT guys.

In my experience, the only flat I've rented that didn't have a dryer was a student hole in Preston that didn't have a washing machine either.

Maybe it's a sign of the times, maybe Lancashire is a cluster of dryer-lovers, but this is my anecdata.

The non-technical people in my life did not realize you don’t need Office to open Office documents. This important when they interact with accountants, lawyers and such.

Once I show them Libre, they still want Office because Libre looks like it’s from Excel 2003 era and loses credibility in their eyes.

Then I show them Google Docs and Sheets and it looks nice. Literally all they need is something that looks modern. But in fact Google apps have actually been quite slick. Perfect amount of functionality at the moment. Google seems to follow keyboard behaviour and shortcuts for easy transition (especially Excel). Hope Google doesn’t bloat their apps over time.
It's not a chicken-and-egg problem. Clearly, building the audience is the harder problem and the priority. When you have an audience, podcasters pay to reach that audience, which is usually done by pestering people with web ads until they install an ad blocker or by hiring sleazy "PR consultants" to spam the ratings and reviews and social media. This would just cut out those middlemen and compensate the audience directly whenever the messaging misses the mark.

It's also interesting in the context of how strict Japan's rules for election campaigns are.

For example, a few years ago Justice Minister Midori Matsushima got in trouble for distributing essentially worthless paper fans since they were considered gifts, whereas paper pamphlets would have been okay, and she had to resign as minister.

How is it his fault? He's done nothing but antagonize and mock the "art world," and it just loves the abuse. He's been co-opted as an official court jester only because the alternatives are to ignore him (costly) or discredit him (improbable).

The most cynical view of his work would be that it is just a set of counter-signals that serve to demonstrate his superiority while knocking the ladder away behind him, as anyone who imitated him would quickly select out. Lots of artists and musicians behave badly to show they are so good that people will even tolerate their latest outrage. Hand, neck and face tattoos seem to be the current fashionable follower trap.

It's arguably the same dynamic behind programmers who affect rebel and working class values and ideals. As if to say, "I'm so talented I don't need to demonstrate alignment to the people who keep me in the style to which I've become accustomed."

I like Banksy's work a lot, and I don't think even he is this cynical, mainly because he does still risk arrest and jail for vandalism, but he's created something with a life of its own of which he is no longer in control. In that way as an artist, he could very much be seen to have succeeded.
The issue I have with your website compared to the 12factor one is how hard it is to grasp/implement your advices.

> 12Factor Nbr 3 : Store config in ENV variables.

Yep I can do that. In 2 hours I can convert most of my conf in env var. And my next project will go with ENV var from the start.

> 12Factor Nbr 11 : "each running process writes its log, unbuffered, to stdout"

Yep, give me 5 minutes to do that.

When I read 12 factor, and decided to give it a shot, by the end of the week, my app (2 devs full time for 2 years) got nearly everything nailed down and I was able to benefit from it.
The last remaining points were harder to implement but I undestood what I needed to do and why.

Most of the advices of the 12factor manifesto can be applied to any programming language/framework/architecture/buisiness and make the deployment/management of the app at least easier.

When I read your manifest, I did not understand most of it. Even your examples do not "talk" to me :

> In your food ordering workflow, instead of writing a payment processing microservice that captures different failure modes, write a payment processing function that processes a payment or fails. The event system should capture the retry or failure event which is processed thereafter. This ensures your business logic is simple and easy to scale.

What event system ? how does it capture the failure mode ? I have an app that is now 4 years old, on which 6 devs are working full time, what can I do today to make it better in a month or two ?

Why are your trying to force me to use GraphQL and make a tech choice for me ? At no point 12factor says use "HTTP REST JSON API" even is a lot of user will go that road, it's their choice and not forced by the maifesto itself.

I was recently in a coding interview where I had heard of the original problem (a version of "transform one word to another one letter at a time, making sure that each step is a real word") so instead of just skipping the question, we went straight to the "extra credit" question of "can you tell that there is a path from one word to another faster than just calculating the answer?"

After hearing the word "memoization" go through my head (part of "Hacking the Coding Interview." which I recommend at least for the wealth of example questions for practice), I basically walked my way through making a disjoint-set data structure using the words as keys and the set number as values. I'm prettyy sure that making that up on the spot is what got me the job.

It's only perverse and pointlessly burning money if you exclusively look at it from an economics perspective, but most countries have some sort of highly politicized redistribution mechanism, so it's also a sociological and political question.

I.e. you can look at it like an accountant and consider it a 3¢ loss for every $1, or you could consider that perhaps a system like this increases societal goodwill towards redistributing money to poorer parts of Japan.

If it wasn't for that goodwill would you have $1 to work with in the first place? Or would political opposition to the redistribution already have cut that down to 90¢?

completed, is it not worth all it cost? And is the ground upon which it stands not worth more because it
is there? And is the ground that adjoins it not worth more because it is there? Wealth grows in magic
ways. No man can prophesy the limit of it. Have not the Phoenicians built great cities on barren coasts
