That statement is not particularly precise and tacitly claims a lot of things. It’s best to think of it as shorthand for something like “When the test, which is thought to measure creativity, is run with music (vs. without music), the subjects’ performance decreases more than the sampling variability we’d expect when repeatedly running one of the conditions in the experiment over and over.”

This is essentially a Frequentist claim, which is a bit different from your Bayesian belief updating about music’s effects. If, when, and how you can from one to the other has been a major debate in statistics and science.
I think what they're saying is that both the code and test will contain the bug, since the bug is in the programmer's understanding rather than just in their coding.

If I understood func(5, 6) should return 9, but the client actually wants 10, no amount of tests I write will reveal the error.

You seem to be sitting on two chairs here.

The split of the long lines aren't bad, but they are also bad because the long lines are inherently too complex.

Of course some times our broken up lines are too complex, and should ideally be restructured, but...

1. The mechanical way Black does it is rarely the best way to decomplexify things.

2. Often the long line wasn't complex at all. It just contained a simple but long string. Line length is a weak measure of code complexity, but as a dumb script, it's all Black can use.

That said, my main beef is really with the 88 char line length. If it was 120 or 140, I wouldn't like Black either, but I'd only be kinda annoyed. Coupled with 4 char indentations, 88 s an absurdly small space to fit code in, when we have the biggest screens in history. It's an incomprehensible madness to me.

Not sure what your final section says. I hope it's not that humans should learn to read code just like computers do?

To me, one of the most important quotes about our job is this:

“Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand.”

> A similar prehistory occurred in the Iberian Peninsula where a third population, also arrived from the Steppes, joined the hunter-gather and farmer groups. In this case, DNA research shows that the third population was exclusively male: While only 40 percent of the population about 6,000 years ago comes from the Steppes, 100 percent of the Y chromosomes do.

This doesn't say what the author wants it to say. If 100% of the Y chromosomes come from the intrusive population, that doesn't mean that the intrusive population was entirely male. It means that 100% of indigenous males were exterminated, so that (after the intrusion) the male population was entirely intrusive. All the males being intruders is a very different concept from all the intruders being male.
I've been writing Java for 20 years. Streams are a definite improvement, but half the time I find myself rewriting a streams approach to an old-fashioned loop to make the code more readable.
The only part I tend to disagree with is regarding TDD. There is a study from Microsoft Research showing that TDD results in greater quality -- although you pay a price for it [0]. I believe this applies as a general rule, although I recognize I'm not aware of further studies.

However I agree with the article's general idea. In the aviation industry there already are languages abstracting computers' internals and allowing programmers to reason about safety-critical programs using more high level constructs.

Due to its nature, I think there won't be such a technology for general purpose languages -- in order to be general enough, you can't have too much things abstracted away. Maybe we couldn't go much farther than what languages like Basic allows us.

On the other hand, I wish we had such languages for more specific tasks like ERP-like software, business web applications and so on. It's worth noticing that many of the biggest ERP companies in the world have their proprietary domain specific languages.

FYI, fully automatic firearms are not actually illegal to privately own in the US. They are just heavily regulated. Guns that weren't registered by a 1986 cut off date are banned for private ownership, but even that is reasonably easy to work around with the appropriate Federal Firearms License. Although I don't own any fully auto guns myself, I know plenty of people who do legally own them.

Speaking as another old person (50+) yes i too remember when C started becoming in-vogue for apps (shortly before VB4) and it was considered high-level by a lot of folks. Even in a COBOL enterprise system in which i worked at the time C was considered more high-level than low-level although we used it to build a runtime for COBOL apps. I have seen this type of discussion go on for decades, literally, but to my simply mind low-level means at the machine instruction set level. Everything above that is something else and i think the label of high or low level is frankly both arbitrary and meaningless. In recent years having spent time working with C on Arduino and Python for apps/hacks, and I also have dabbled with pascal(several variants of it), the only term i can think of to meaningfully describe any language is 'fit for purpose'. And if your purpose is to do ray-tracing from an environment that needs be supportive of programming noobs then maybe C# with tweaks is the best fit. If your environment requires burning programs directly into silicon then maybe verilog is best fit for purpose.

Its not about what you like, what you know, what is trendy, what is top of the pops this week - its about getting shit done and that happens when you use the right tools. The tech industry, like every other industry, ultimately involves people and people are as subject to fashion, peeves, and emotional attachment to their investments(i.e. the languages you know well) - a comment on C# vs C++ seems to start wars just as religious as vi vs emacs as we had back in the 80s with COBOL vs RPG3!

If I were a flappycoin millionaire it would bother me if someone had taken my coins even if they had no monetary value. I imagine some others would be more annoyed than I would be.
> Removing guns from the streets may reduce gun deaths

It didn't in Brazil. Since 2004, civilians can't carry their guns and the police makes it very hard for them to be able to have one in the first place, or to register them again when it's time to renew.

Your implication that those Chinese who support current one party "regime" because they haven’t opened their eyes to democracy and freedom of human rights seems match current western media's unintended and also unanimous fabrication which is an unfalsifiable belief that doesn’t need any evidence but any body can still strongly insist it’s correct

This view is the dominant majority view of western countries that their citizens democratically elected their leaders with the same view who fight against “evils”, change regimes, based on a high moral ground with huge resources that otherwise can be invested in their own infrastructure. It caused huge humanitarian crises in Libya , Iraq, Syria , Yemen etc. that hundreds of thousands of lives lost.

In stead of give you some clue that the Chinese supporter of the one party regime do understand democracy, I can give you a clue that even the one party regime understand democracy and experimented with gradual baby steps began from village election.

https://journals.openedition.org/etudesrurales/8487

There is little information about the result. West media have strong motivation to hide the experiment to match their narratives, the party also doesn’t want others know the embarrassed outcome. But many educated Chinese know: It’s a massive failure. Most winners are those good at gain powers and even bullies. Normal villagers hate election very much. China is not civilized enough yet (No worries for political correctness. I’m an ethnic Chinese) . So consider your belief about democracy and human rights again.

BTW, the topic of democracy and human rights is probably the major reason that fans Chinese nationalism and anti-Western sentiment that while westerners themselves heavily brainwashed (that alone is fine if not humiliate Chinese) by their independent free speech journalist believe it’s Chinese who are subhuman brainwashed by one Party propaganda.

Using it as my main language: Python (2.7). How the hell did this thing become so popular?

I've used it for all sorts of stuff earlier, less complex than the other. Scripts, devops, ETL... But then I got into a company that is using it for some quite serious stuff, a large codebase. Holly smokes this thing does not scale (in terms of development efficiency and quality) well. I swear at least 70% of our bugs is because of the language and half of the abstractions are there just to lessen the chance of some stupid human mistake.

Sorry, but I will not pick it ever again for even a side project.
A few comments imply that this introduces the question of P ?= NP, and while it indeed is defining a complexity problem, this is about satisfiability of first order predicates logic, that is formulas with sets and quantifiers, while SAT is about propositional logic.

First order logic was famously proved incomputable by Godel himself, so here he's asking whether we can bound the number of steps given the size of the proof, not the size of the input (formula length), which is the way complexity is usually defined.

In practice, he's saying that tractable theorems must have reasonably sized proofs (to be understood by a human), and there might be an algorithm that is efficient enough in finding short proofs.

Types - I worked on an enterprise Java application for a few years and grew to hate them. What I actually hated was J2EE, but at the time I didn't know that. So I swung hard into "You don't need types", only to work for another two years on the world's worst Node.js app. I was young, I was naive, I didn't realize how bad things could get. We didn't have anybody that cared about testing, and I'd never been around testing, so I didn't either. It was a mess. More of a mess than J2EE ever was - we were constantly writing code on quicksand. So now I'm back to types for the most part. I think 2012-but-actually-2007 era Java was also part of my pain, and a few years ago I moved on to Go/C# and have been very happy.

Testing - as noted above, prior to my last two jobs I had never had any experience with people pragmatic/dogmatic about testing. At my first few, there just wasn't any testing, for better or worse. I worked on a team with a person that was fairly dogmatic about TDD, and I spent almost a year painstakingly focused on caring about testing. What I found was that focusing on 100% test coverage across each layer of your app is a fool's errand - you'll never get to where you think you're going. All the tests in the world are useless if you're bad at writing tests, which (at that job) we were. I've now moved onto "Just enough E2E/Integration tests" as a paradigm. If a PR contains _some_ testing, and that testing is focused on making sure units of logic work together, I feel much better. Prioritizing fast and easy response time to bugs, and making sure that all the test we contribute having meaning and add value, as opposed to just mindlessly boosting our stats has been a huge boon.

Number of models is irrelevant, being able to buy the same car badged as VW/Audi/Skoda/Seat is just price discrimination and adds no value. A real-world comparison of charging speeds is still an open question. The next generation of Tesla superchargers goes live in 4 days and will work with actual cars on the road. By the time actual roll-out is done we'll have to see who has the better network. Hopefully it starts to standardize more between them all because right now Tesla is well ahead in the charging network.

But the biggest advantage is not that. It's having electrical motors that are cheaper, lighter and more powerful (Munro has a great slide on that). It's having cells that are cheaper to build and better integrated (Munro was apparently blown away). It's having power electronics that are better. That's the kind of advantage that makes for higher margins and better products. I'd love it for others to surpass it, but it hasn't happened yet.

I'm not particularly in favor of Tesla, just EVs for several reasons. I do hope all the traditional manufacturers come out with great EVs. They just haven't yet.

I think dynamically types languages are on their way out. There aren't many good arguments remaining in favor of them.

Perhaps there is no hard evidence because nobody is willing to risk their lively-hood over researching such claims. Just look at what they did to Dr. Watson. Heck, a few paragraphs above Reich was talking about African-Americans being genetically predisposed to prostate cancer as if it was a highly controversial topic.
