Nick I started doing the same thing a year ago and I was very nervous about getting too abstract with all the tooling and code and writing. It's challenging—and I definitely take breaks to really feel the difference—but it is so, so worth it.

Your advice is in-line with my current thoughts and plans, I'm just trying to figure out if there's any alternative or anything I haven't considered.

It's hard to pinpoint a definition for religion.

Does that imply some kind of practice ? Does that imply veneration ? Does that imply you hold something sacred ? Does that imply you have dogmatic principles ? Does that imply you have a mythology ? Does it mean you need a crowd ? Do you have an external reference driving your conduct, your view of the world, your morality ? And most importantly, should they all resolve around the same source ?

Having a life phylosophy doesn't seem to be attached to most of those, and doesn't limit itself to one source. And a lot of those don't seem to necessarly imply a life philosophy.

Besides, there is a huge difference between religion as it's designed, and religion as it's lived. Not to mention people of the same religion disagree on the living AND on the design part.

But I do agree with you on one point: religion used to answer to those pesky deep life questions for everybody. Now that our source of points of view is much broader, we do miss the easy sense of purpose that was provided by many religions.
"why in the hell doesn't our economy reward women for raising the next generation of workers?"

I thought the obvious answer to this is that the benefits women provide through parenthood are externalized. This is the case with education as well. Elon Musk's 9th grade science teacher doesn't get any shares in Space X.

And from what I can see, women overwhelmingly dominate careers that have a lot of positive externalities: teaching, (prenatal/neonatal) medicine, social work, philanthropy, environmentalism.

On the other hand, you don't see a whole lot of women hedge fund managers, oil and gas explorers, mechanical engineers, etc.

I've seen it argued endlessly that fields began paying less when women entered a field. Why isn't anyone asking if it's men exiting a field because it started paying less?

I agree that skin in the game matters. But my point is a bit more subtle. Imagine the following situation: I present you a new product and I'm going to ask you how much you're willing to pay for it. Let's agree that you'll pay the amount you mention dependent on the flip of a coin. Even though you clearly have have committed to potentially paying real money, this method won't reveal what I really want to know: your true perceived value of the product (maximum willingness-to-pay). The Vickrey auction solves this problem.
Exactly. It's like a golden opportunity for me to demonstrate some engineering chops and instead the interviewer expects me to just whip out some caching implementation for some nebulous reason because that's what they would have done. If there's a real problem with either of our naive implementations the proper thing to do is to tell us what the problem is and leave us free to solve it.

"The human brain wasn't designed to handle the complexity of large codebases."

Because I'm a very simple bear, I always try to find the most simple thing that works. Because I'm certain that the next programmer that comes along, which is most likely future me, will see my efforts and think "WTF?!"

Another facet is our human mind's propensity to make errors. Instead of blaming stupid users, just deal with it. Design artifacts and systems which prohibit errors.

FWIW, Donald Norman's book Design of Everyday Things completed my transformation from technophile to humanist. (I don't know how well it's held up since. Or what knowledge now supersedes it.)

"I would compare tool assistance to aviation instruments."

Great analogy. Many, many designers (of APIs, frameworks, UIs, simulations) conflate abstractions with mental models. Our tools should make the underlying systems obvious, vs trying to hide the complexity. And if something remains too complex to explain, try again, until a mental model that is simple and obvious is found.

You are asking for an LCA of electronic components. The best ones are proprietary, such as the one we put together at Apple ten years ago, which is probably still updated and unrivaled.

The good news is that electronic components often obey commodity pricing. And for commodities there is a very good approximation for LCA: their market price.

An LCA is a sum environmental impacts, weighted by importance. Market price represents some sort of consensus weighting. You can argue for other weightings, but such arguments are at least as subjective as the market weights and seldom give a significantly different result.

Interestingly, even non-commodities reveal their environmental impact through their price. The difference is, their prices include all downstream environmental impacts, whereas traditional LCA and commodity prices only reflect impacts within some "system boundary".
The first caveat is that China's numbers are not the same quality as the numbers from open economies; while perhaps not entirely fabricated, they are certainly tainted by influence and non-standard accounting and reporting practices designed to make the CCP look good.

More importantly, the key here is the trend. When there is both a large overhang of debt, and simultaneously slowing growth, that is a recipe for trouble. If the scale and scope is minor, it can possibly be managed into a 'soft landing'.

If not, it could easily get out of control, and spiral into a liquidity crisis for that economy, and since there are so many links between economies, spread overall.

The real question is whether this is just a blip in a very large and noisy environment, or if it is the crumbling of some critical supporting bricks in their economic edifice?
The coffee maker does indeed come with a booklet that explains what various messages mean, and what actions need to be taken to address these issues. Those steps are maybe two sentences long and generally self evident even without the booklet.

People complain about that, because they think things should be handled and explained within the machine itself. I don't complain about coffee machines, but I agree with the principle. If I have to go searching through manuals to figure out what actions I need to take to get something working, that piece of software has failed at user interface design.

Sometimes it's ok to fail at UI. I don't expect everything handed to me on a silver platter when I'm writing a bootloader for an 8051, but I do expect my tools to be reasonably user friendly. Vim isn't user friendly, and that understandably drives people away. Hell, even emacs can be a pain to work with.

Ronald Reagan thought the tax on capital ought to be higher than the tax on labor. The Republican party and along with it the Democratic party have shift very much to the right on this issue in the last 40 years. Capital gains, dividend, and inheritcance taxes ought to be way higher. As Gates says, forget income taxes as the focus. Tax the things that count the most. I think also we should increase capital controls at the national level. Do away with capital controls allows rich people to move money they control without regard to nation where they made that money.
I think the major difference is that on September 3, 1783 Great Britain itself recognized the independence of the United States. I'm not sure that any of Crimea, Kosovo, or Taiwan share that recognition of their independence from who they are claiming to be independent from (the ROC, in fact, doesn't even claim to be independent, they claim that the PRC itself holds no claim over mainland China and that it is rightfully the territory of the ROC).
My cruder understanding of how the question of how casualty relates to probability:

In a simple, deterministic world, chains of cause can seem clear. If we know X will definitely happen if and only if Y and Z happen, we can call Y & Z immediate causes and build chains of cause if Y & Z have similar immediate cause. Though even here there can arguments - suppose Y & Z are "just markers" etc - the thing is how to build your chain of causation is relatively.

But X occurs with a complex probability function, Y & Z make X more likely but lots of other things might do so also. Now how should we do the chain?

It was extremely appealing at 21, and I still would not hesitate to do it today, but I'm not sure I will at 32. I now see it as a get-rich-quick scheme, so that I could retire earlier. I still can't believe the salaries people are earning there.

In an ideal world maybe, but there's no point fully fleshing out an interface where you know you're not using those methods. I'm old enough and ugly enough to comprehensively know what I'm doing.

It's simply because interfaces in a framework are occasionally quite big and unwieldy, I'm sure their developer thought it was for good reasons, the other option is to split the interface up and have a class inherit from a ton of interfaces, which is just as annoying.

I think things like home row typing are very human specific.

I don't type properly and I never rest my hands on the home row. My hands fly all over the place and I only use half the fingers on both hands. After 20 years of typing, that's what feels natural to me. It felt natural on day 1 and the same 20 years later. I can type at about 75 WPM using online tests with really high accuracy, so I haven't seen it as a real bottleneck.

Call me crazy but I think home row proper typing is the most non-ergonomic and painful layout possible. It's not natural at all to keep your hands completely stationary for hours and while making subtle finger movements. Even if I try that for 5 minutes straight I get all sorts of cramps and weird pains in areas of my hands and arms that I didn't even know existed.

Why Doesn't Anyone Want to Solve Duplication?
I've been doing CRUD programming & design for a living for decades. These systems are typically for tracking, categorizing, and reporting/searching on domain "things": people, tasks, complaints, products, customers, etc. I'm surprised at the amount of redundancy in typical CRUD stacks. Info about a given field (RDBMS column) and its associations is replicated all over the place. My attempts to produce stacks that factor out duplication seem to confuse other developers such that they'd rather live with duplication.

There are always exceptions (variations) that need to be applied. For example, the default field title of a given field might be too long for a given screen listing, being the user wants to see a lot of info on a single listing. Thus, an exception (override) is needed for that title on that page. A centralized "data dictionary" is useful, but cannot carry the entire load. Further, sometimes the variations need to be computed dynamically.

A way to manage these variations is needed that doesn't confuse developers. Perhaps if an industry standard were devised, then coders would just learn the factor-friendly system and we'd end the duplication. It feels to me the industry spends too much time chasing the latest UI trends/fads instead of factoring.

I find our tools are too rigid to even propose specifics of such a stack. Code and/or references to code would need to be managed in something akin to an RDBMS, and not a hierarchical file system nor OOP inheritance hierarchies. Trees are just too rigid. There are tools to automate duplication, but few that avoid it. Auto-dup only helps initial coding, not maintenance. Should we be expected to "just live with" duplication, or are our standards and tools lacking?
> Datashader is not a paper

https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Abstract-rendering%3A-...

You keep defending the project as a whole while not confronting the fact that they are touting rendering breakthroughs, while I have given a lot of explanation of why there are no rendering breakthroughs and the actual rendering, no matter where it is done and no matter how much data is used, is trivial. I'm not sure what can help you focus in on the point I'm making here, I haven't strayed from it. This isn't about the workflow or the language used or anything else. It is about false claims and buzzwords to make people think that it is solving rendering problems that have never existed like 'accuracy' and 'big data' ( in the context of these visualizations ).
Trust is a scarce currency.
> Honestly, cryptocurrencies are useless.

Cryptocurrencies are essential. I don't see this mentioned often enough: We've had distributed systems for a long while before Bitcoin showed up. One of the most significant problems with any distributed system is incentivizing people to run nodes. Cryptocurrency solved this by providing a way to give value back to people who support the network.

> I'm not aware of any desktop CPU that doesn't have ECC caches. CPU internal busses use ECC and external interconnects (e.g. PCIe, DMI, QPI/UPI) use it as well.

I believe all of those are just parity checked and not ECC?

> ECC invariably introduces some additional latency in the memory controller

Latency is a non-trivial factor here, too, though.

> That being said buffered ECC modules are usually not the fastest. I don't think that this is due to any technical limitation per se, but rather market demand (cost, perf per Watt).

Poking around it looks like ECC RAM tops out at DDR4 2666 @ 1.2v. By comparison there's no shortage of DDR4 3200+ options at 1.2v. Whether or not this is purely market demand or not, it doesn't seem like there's a purely power reason for it.

But you also can't solely blame Intel for a lack of market demand. Even when the choice is there nobody seems to be making ECC memory for high-end desktop usages. Where's the DDR4 3200 for Threadripper or Xeon-W workstations, for example? They surely benefit from the improved bandwidth, or else they wouldn't have triple & quad channel memory. And they'd surely pay the price of admission, because we're talking $3,000+ entry points for builds.
You don't have to decide which is more impressive. What you have to decide is how much you want either impression to count for in your threshold score. Does high achievement count for 30%? 50%? 80%? Does it outweigh an utter lack of academic achievement (i.e. could a high achiever in the "soft" achievements hack it in the "hard" subjects, or vice versa?)

Once you've decided the proportions of things like that, this article proposes that it should be purely up to chance via lottery (an assertion I personally agree with.)
