> As someone not in the know, Rich's post seems like an extremely aggressive and arrogant piece.

It seems that way? To me, it seems like a reasonable response to how many people treat any kind of volunteer-led effort.

For example, I help mod a fairly popular subreddit, r/cscareerquestions. Now, we don't have a problem with people suggesting changes to sub rules or have meta discussions and even complaints. No community is perfect, the mods certainly aren't, etc.

However, the vast majority of complaints are of the completely useless variety. They're the vague one-liners -- "this sub used to be good, and is now bad for generic reasons I will not elaborate on" -- that usually have no clear basis in reality, nor any practical solutions even to the extent they're true.

And when I try to earnestly engage with people who have the most upvoted complaints, 95%+ of the time, there's nothing there. Probably half the time they just don't respond, half the remaining time they just loose another snipe or parting shot before disappearing, and most of the rest is something in the set of {doesn't actually happen/no evidence; assumes everyone agrees with them; problem is actually well-diagnosed but the proposed solutions are laughably naive}. The number of complaints or suggestions that are meaningfully actionable is very, very low.

What I've found looking at other subs and ours, is that generic complaints about sub quality and mod team actions are a quick and easy way to upvotes, but it's rare for someone to actually be well-informed on the topic and have actually thought through the problem and solutions they suggest.

So when Rich says, "Did you know that most patches/issues have poor problem statements, no description of the plan (read my code!), no consideration of alternatives, no tests, no designs, and are ill-conceived and/or broken in some way?" that doesn't surprise me in the least. Even when people nominally want to contribute, they usually don't seem to try very hard. For me, it's gotten to the point where I'm writing a guide for subreddit criticism and suggestions to try and improve the quality of the complaining.

tl;dr - even when something is reasonably well run by volunteers, people love their low-effort gripes and snipes

I have a hate relationship with wired things too. Irony is that when I use BT ones, I stay sit thinking I can't leave or I will rip the wire from the device.

I think the issue is that BT has always been a catastrophy in terms of ergonomy, today things are better but still a bit hazardous. Maybe a super simple wireless protocol for managing audio streams (and handling multiple sinks) would change that
The word 'communist' is becoming more than slightly stretched by this point.

Perhaps they should rename it to something slightly more accurate.

> The problem with the nuclear bomb is it's a weapon to kill civilians, not to destroy strategic military targets.

That's late stage WW2, that was not specific to the nuclear bomb. As WW2 turned both trying to destroy the industry of the enemy and demoralize the general population, carpet bombing was seen as an effective method to do so.

Even though it did achieve the former, it didn't achieve the latter. So it's arguable if it even shortened the war in Europe.

> Plus, it's a horrible way to die. [...]

You should read some accounts of the bombing of e.g. Tokyo or Hamburg. Dying to incendiary bombs is not a nicer way to die.

My friend developed first then Soviet software-controlled modem. He said they experienced more line cut-offs (hangups by telephone line operator) during testing next to the end of project (which was a success). He explained that their modem had crude analog adapter and caused a lot of noise and/or interference with the other phone company machinery. He said he also suspected KGB who they may thought that this is new voice scrambling device.

Basically, the Resistance is real, but can be explained by some real factors, just like in the novel above.

> Warnings don't exist in go build, because warnings are ignored by people.

Okay, make them errors - an unused import is an error and the risk is orders of magnitude lower.

> There are legitimate use cases of swallowing error return values†, and if you throw warnings intros cases, then you can't tell the difference between a legit warning and a legit use case that shouldn't warn.

Nobody is saying there aren’t cases where you can legitimately ignore them. My position is just that it should require intent rather than being the default: you should have to access any error type at least once after assignment, even if it’s just to intentionally ignore an expected error (which is also important for confirming that the error you’re ignoring is the one you expected and not something else).

Regarding examples, yes, there’s a balance of not overcrowding examples but people retain early lessons for long periods of time. Since almost all non-trivial Go programs work with things like files and networks, it should be more prominent because the language repeats the C style approach of leaving error handling up to programmer diligence and that means you need to develop the habit from the beginning because the language doesn’t have any other protections.

In principle, no. You're supposed to review the code you run. The open-source status of bitcoin is a vital part of its security model.

This isn't a nitpicky point either. Bitcoin has specifically avoided any sort of automatic update mechanism, and not just because of the security risks involved. Additionally many companies and miners take their time evaluating new releases before upgrading.

It's mostly there to illustrate how a basic attempt to create a correct way to use a simple system call would look like, with error, retry, actually writing the entire buffer and timeout would look like.

Anecdotally speaking, Android, particularly from version 8, started pushing system breaking changes/bugs in the supposedly security-oriented monthly upgrades (have a look at how many users found their phone not to fire alarms anymore after a minor Oreo upgrade...), so I think this is a market-wide tendency.

There is an oddness in reading that sentence though.
I think this can fundamentally be summed up as:

errors are "failure as data" (hence, message), and you get to write the flow (including handling and annotating the call stack)

vs

exceptions are "failure as flow" (hence, stack trace), and you get to write the data (including logging)

May very well be paraphrasing a well known maxim about closures and objects as errors are a poor man's exceptions and exceptions are a poor man's errors.

Descendants of Aristotle still find limitations of the system amusing, that’s amusing itself.

I hope to live to the day when philosophical advancements of 20th century (or re-discovery of 2500-old Indian logic, if you like), formalized in accessible forms, get widespread acceptance, could leave plenty of people who’se job it to juggle limited abstractions with the need to pick more useful jobs.

No pun intended, these are terribly useful abstractions we’ve built our world on, but they barely hold up against thorough reality check and leave out a lot as ‘paradoxes’.
Ok but i am not sure people in the industry would claim otherwise, also not sure what the point is.

I'm with it until "I sell 5 percent of the company to investors for $100 million and spend it on yachts."

Aren't investors going to notice that during the bankruptcy proceedings, the $100 million is nowhere represented among any assets of the company and the founder suddenly has 10 yachts? That wouldn't raise any red flags? Wouldn't you have to produce some sort of accounting records showing where the money was spent on salaries, office space, Facebook ads, etc?

I know there's a ridiculous amount of money sloshing around Silicon Valley, but I still find it hard to believe that $100 million is going to disappear and nobody is going to bother asking about where it went.
Unfortunately the technology still limits this in many cases.
And no mention of plows.

IIRC almost the entire reason that northern europe could have a much larger society in medieval times (compared to roman) was that they had more metal, for making better plows, to turn over the heavy soil. That's why blacksmiths were so important.

I'm not an eldery, and I prefer a jack socket. I just don't get the benefit of bluetooth in most situations.

Jacks are more reliable and definitely plug-and-play. Unless it has a physical failure, your jack socket always just works. As you state it, bluetooth requires you to "Turn on Bluetooth on your phone, then turn on your headphones, then hold down the button to pair, etc", for no benefit. Oh, and now you need batteries on your headphone.

Look at professional musicians: you won't find anybody connecting his guitar to the amp through bluetooth. They are using good old wires and jack sockets: why is that? Are they too old?
It's not just the pairing that sucks. Everything sucks, in every possible way (although pairing is the least problematic, in my personal case).

I have several BT devices, and I never know how they're going to work in the next month, when the next software update is going to be applied.

Ubuntu's BT stack (bluez) is well-known to be trash, however, I was surprised when my Android phone BT's stability took a dip after some "security" updates.

Intro to Rod Logic (2009)
This is a little orthogonal, but I'd really appreciate thoughts on this:

Is FOSS a good idea?

I've always assumed yes. Think of all the libraries in the Python ecosystem, for example. I've used them to build tons of things, even a couple of things that made a little money and allowed me to get myself a new laptop. I've written open source projects myself, filed issues and helped fix bugs in others. The code I've written represents a lot of time, and I'm happy to give it away.

Think about Linux, and what it has done for the world. I've used it for non-commercial purposes all over the place, and it's made research and teaching I've been involved in much easier; it may have been impossible to achieve many things without it.

But recently I've begun to question the idea of FOSS, sparked by Jaron Lanier's concerns. There's something clean about paying someone for their software: you have an entity responsible for the code, you can pay for support, you have recourse if you need it. There are clear incentives and rewards, and money earned is properly redistributed. I know that companies like Google do a lot for FOSS, but it's probable that their contributions are minuscule compared to the monetary value they have extracted from it.

The alternative is not closed-source: e.g. with web dev you can provide the source code but charge for licensing, etc. So it's more about "free" vs "non-free" than "open" vs "closed".

The idea of people coding for free is quite an odd one. Imagine if the world's graphic designers en masse started providing millions of free designs covering every possible icon and situation? (I'm aware of small examples, but they're not at the scale of OSS). Designers don't do it. You would make a lot of people redundant overnight - not all designers, but a lot of them.

What do people think? I can't see how we could have this amazing ecosystem without FOSS... but maybe some kind of transactional funding model is needed to make it sustainable, more secure, etc.

My instincts were for FOSS, but there's often a difference between what sounds beautiful conceptually and the problems of how it works in practice.

RMS' ideas were very attractive, but then you see the modern world from a musician's point of view and it sucks - the long-term effects of ignoring copyright have been to diminish income for musicians. Whilst I improve my friend's quality of life by giving them a copy of some music, their kids might grow up in a world with less good music as a result. I know the record industry sucked, but free copying is not the only alternative.

I'd really appreciate input here, as I have failed to resolved this either way. Thoughts?
Somewhat related, it seemed like Netflix (and many others) was carrying out a similar strategy to inflate their number of subscribers to show investors, by allowing users to sign up for endless free trials through creating new email addresses. Only recently did they announce their banning of this come January, in an earnings call, IIRC, which I'm assuming is due to investors catching on and potentially being more skeptical following the recent drops in the NASDAQ.

Not to say that they don't offer a solid service of value, just that it seemed like they enabled this as a means of inflating their numbers for investors.

Random side note, people used to be able to do this with Seamless to get their sign up discount with any order, using a combination of creating a new email address, adding the new email address to a single PayPal account, generating a new Google Voice number associated with the new email address, and providing a random name. It appears they've picked up on it and have taken measures to prevent people from doing this. Might've previously allowed it for inflation reasons, but likely stopped due to their gain in momentum and it being too costly to allow with little to gain

Right, so you can just return a coroutine, so the return type of your method is something like `Union[dict, Coroutine]`. However, then downstream (ultimately) has to handle the dichotomy, where the `dict` is as is, but the coroutine needs to be `await`ed.

You can do it, but I personally think it's messy. It's what I really dislike about Python's async model, which you almost necessarily encounter because the stdlib is mostly not async.
i love "my not so expensive and average quality" earphones. i simply plug it my iphone 6s, then my work laptop and when i'm home i use it while gaming with my MBP 2015. i sometimes forgot them in my pocket and find them while ironing my pants; they smell good, look very clean and work like a charm when i plug in to my phone. if i lose them or somehow they don't work, i can buy the same for a few bucks. if i want i can use a cool bluetooth earphones but i really don't want, and moreover i really don't want to be force to do so

To illustrate how ridiculous that this is considered a piece of news to Westerners, consider if Chinese media reports "Taylor Swift confirmed to have voted in the election."

I believe ContentID only detects videos registered in their database by partners through what they call the "CMS".

Basically you upload your videos, and meta data for what they call reference files. Which I doubt are publically viewable.

Plus if it automatically matched videos already uploaded would cause a mess because so many channels use royalty free music or content library... So then everyone would claim they own music they don't really own.
They're useful to measure in that _changes_ to them are indications that something might be happening. Use them as canaries.

For example, your velocity has changed. Why has it changed? Are you bringing new people up to speed? Have you suddenly hit some unexpected complexity? Your mean time to resolve issues has gone down. Are you releasing code with simple bugs you should have caught? Have your team started picking them up sooner?

Whenever something changes there's questions you can ask, the answers to which might well help you do better. Using metrics as an early indicator of change can help.
