First, the Washington Times is a notably biased source.

Second, let's please remember that we (the US) fucked those countries up profoundly, to the point that people are fleeing en masse and forming migrant caravans. Fearing for your fucking life because of a puppet government who massacres dissenters is unambiguously grounds for asylum, as far as I'm aware.

Finally, economically-motivated migration and asylum-seeking are absolutely not mutually exclusive. Anyone who has ever tried to claim that these people's motivations are strictly one or the other is selling a narrative, not studying the phenomenon.

I often think about this:

1. Sometimes it's said in the ad world that you take your greatest weakness and market it as your strength. Airlines selling on friendliness and roominess, for example.
2. When Visa made a big push for debit cards, the TV commercials had people in a cafe moving in rhythm, and the person with cash was the person who slowed everything down[0].

I was a kid then and accepted it uncritically. But when I actually rethought #2 in light of #1, they basically did this. You're right, cash has pretty much always been faster than a debit card. I dunno how much this had an impact on the uptake of debit cards, but it definitely made me a bit more cynical about advertising.

> “somehow microservices are presented as something obviously and inherently better (salad) versus non-microservice approach (red meat).”

Yes, this is called the Single Responsibility Principle, in this case applied to service architecture. More generally it is a property of modularity and decoupling.

All else equal then satisfying these properties is better than not satisfying them.

The all else equal assumption clearly holds in practice, where people write equally awful code in both cases and so microservices introduces no additional tech debt yet it does introduce SRP and modularity benefits.

Could you find specific examples of monolith services with small enough tech debt that they outperform some specific other example using microservices? Of course.

Does this matter for reasoning more generally about which pattern is better ceteris paribus? Very little, probably not at all.
"No breakage" is possible in a Lisp dialect.

With each rev of the dialect, put all new functions and variables into a new namespace like "std2019:...".

Old code that doesn't know about new features doesn't run into them at all.

Keep the old namespaces untouched: old code finds everything it expects.

There is no bullshit like reserved keywords: all symbols are namespaced in packages. New syntax is just macros named by symbols.

The only kind of breakage left is system requirements (new tools don't target old hardware well due to larger footprints; new dev environments don't run on old dev hardware; implementations drop support for unpopular platforms).
If it's a keep alive connection, you can just get the packets when you next turn on the radio. It's not a big deal to get the close right away; not that there's a good way to tell the system that. Anyway, you probably have a tcp connection open for the system push channel; if that requires the radio to stay on, it will be on.
Smith explicitly disagrees:

A man must always live by his work, and his wages must at least be sufficient to maintain him. They must even upon most occasions be somewhat more; otherwise it would be impossible for him to bring up a family, and the race of such workmen could not last beyond the first generation.

https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Wealth_of_Nations/Book_I/...

Smith also writes at length of the power imbalance between business owners and employers, who can and do collude to keep down labour wages, whilst labour has far less power (and in his time, no legal right) to organise to raise them. Of the inherent inequality and dangers of piecework pay. And of the differential returns to various economic goods and activities, particularly wages, commodities, rents, interest, assets (to Smith, gold and silver), and public goods. More recent economic understanding is that the marginal cost / marginal price, and differential risk / consequence dynamics of such interactions provide distinct behaviours and advantages to specific powers. The inherent imbalance between wages (tending to subsitence, or below) and rents (tending to all consumer surplus for the producer), create an inherent conflict.

Then there are the problems of corporate ownership and behaviour (roundly criticised by Smith in the form of join stock companies), the corporatisation of violence ("Regulated companies, it was observed by Sir Josiah Child, though they had frequently supported public ministers, had never maintained any forts or garrisons in the countries to which they traded; whereas joint stock companies frequently had", and general collusion of commercial interests against those of the common weal.

The passage I'd previously cited ties wages largely to economic growth, stagnation, or decline, and the story it paints is both stark and well worth consideration.

The critical point of that story was that it was not random which baboon died. The garbage dump area which had the infected food "belonged" to an other baboon squad, so it was only the most aggressive males that dared to invade in order to eat there. Naturally the troop overall got less aggressive when the top 50% most aggressive males died.

What was surprising to Sapolsky and scientific notable was that the lower aggression continued even when the troop returned to the original gender composition several years later, including new males which had no genetic relatives with the troop. The theory is that a culture of low aggression was introduced by the eradication of the aggressive males, and new males simply adapted to that culture when they joined.
What complexity are you referring to? If you don’t use finer grained control then your React apps work exactly the same ways as they did before. The extra control is opt-in and you don’t have to use it.
I would mostly agree, but having lived in China and studied Chinese for several years the element of Chinese culture and history intermingled with sci-fi made it a lot more intriguing to me. Also, it was a great way to practice reading Chinese.
I’d say smaller than that. Working in Pittsburgh there are plenty of folks netting Bay Area comp packages (180K+ base salaries, 100K+ stock grants, big bonuses, etc).

Unless you're using an exchange (admittedly most are) for your trading then it's still your machine telling the network it'd like to do a transaction - somebody is selected via proof of work to confirm it - and then you're on your way. Only you can start the transaction, and it can only be received by the one you addressed it to.

The way credit/debit cards work is far different IMO.

Yeah, having a good interface for that different devices seems hard to impossible and probably not worth the effort, as shown again and again. Btw, who at MS thought having to select numbers to set a timer via mouse is acceptable on a windows desktop?

On the other hand, I like the idea of at least being able to run software on all devices and them at least being usable, even with a shitty interface (like having to scroll through numbers on a desktop, Microsoft). This way I can still use familiar tools for non-recurring tasks. Like RDP on a phone might not be fun, but gets the job done.

These are really pretty great, and do what - in my opinion - art should do (in as much as art should do anything at all). And that is to tell a story.

The best paintings provide a connection with a subject - person, place or time - and maybe stir up some emotion about the scene. Some of my favorite are 16th and 17th century Dutch paintings of naval battles. The artists were the war correspondents of their time and their work is as moving as any photograph from a modern battlefront.

Pollock's paintings tell a story in their own way too. I worked in theater in high-school and college and also painting boats and for an industrial coatings company. In short, I spent a lot of time around paint. A Pollock painting reminds me of these workshops: of years, sometimes decades of overspray, splatter, drips, spills and all of the other marks of "work being done here".

The scarred and stained surface of the workbench from my grandfather's garage could hang in a museum. Sixty years of paint and oil; holes from when tools were bolted to it or when parts were drilled; cuts from countless handsaws; scorch marks from blowtorches and soldering irons.

The painting is like the artistic expression of the evidence of work accomplished.

What cities do you prefer and how much does it cost you, out of curiosity?

> That is, unless the deviance is actually the norm. It's like enforcing dress codes against specific people when it's clear the dress code itself is questionable.

I don't think that's the right interpretation here. If you demonstrate an attitude that you feel you don't have to follow regulations you disagree with, what's to stop you from disclosing secret information that you don't think should be secret? Getting a security clearance is all about showing the authorities that you can be trusted to follow their regulations. Willfully violating federal law for recreational purposes casts doubt on that. Security clearance isn't a right.

I want to emphasise both of examples are intentionally janky (even though second is less so). As the article states, it literally has a for loop that doesn’t do anything to simulate an overly expensive tree (think thousand of DOM nodes).

You can see the difference between first and second approaches that way. Although both would be fast if we remove that artificial slowdown (simulating a larger app).

What made this incredibly clear to me was when await/yield was renamed co_await and co_yield because some extreme minority of companies (farming? from some statement I read somewhere 'yield' was the problem) would have to change variable names. It's like it gets a chance to be cleaner, but is then quickly hammered back into ugly syntax that reminds you that you are writing C++.

Almost any actual potential leaps in improvement get watered down and neutered way before they have a chance to get near the language.

Although I agree in general, it seems ethically incoherent to describe in details the horrors of living into decrepitude while opposing physician-assisted suicide (as the author does).

Also, the difference in life-expectancy at 60 between whites and blacks is less than two years, and perhaps significantly less. Unfortunate, but not what most of us would call appalling, especially because this might literally just be a n unchangeable fact of life.

Most importantly, the author, who sounds single, misses the significance of having a mate in all of this. Your family and friends may be sad to see you go, but it's a whole other thing for your wife/husband/etc.
I'm conflicted in how I feel about this.

On one hand, cash is legal tender. If you're a business charging money in that currency, not accepting that currency seems wrong. Even moreso given some of the socioeconomic impacts of people not able to have bank accounts / debit cards.

On the other, this is capitalism. As a consumer, innovating towards a cashless society is a good thing, and I would be afraid that such legislation would have a chilling effect on innovation in this area. As a business, if eliminating the requirement to deal with cash makes business sense, go for it. If you're a consumer that wants to make cash transactions, or feels that others should have that ability, vote with your feet and take your business elsewhere.

At the end of the day, I'm more concerned about businesses that only accept cash. That's annoying to me as a consumer, but I wouldn't suggest legislation: I might just vote with my feet.

(I do think that public/government entities should be required to accept credit cards, though. Toll plazas, for instance. I don't always carry cash in this... increasingly cashless society.)
A framework for creating Python/C++ polyglots
I think I caught the dying days of ED011. I was an Automatica freshman in 1999, when the lab and the die-hards populating it still looked like magic for outsiders like myself, but by 2000 or early 2001 all the text-only terminals had been replaced by 486 computers (I think), and the magic was gone.

The spirit of it still lived for a short while in the faculty's dorms, which had freshly been fitted with Internet connections, and it was cool to see all those network cables hanging outside of the dorm buildings while knowing that because of those cables we had access to Audiogalaxy and to playing AtomicBomberman with our colleagues from two floors bellow us. Lots of the students that helped install and set-up those cables and the dorms' network-systems ended up as key people at various ISPs.

Fascinating - and I always wonder how much that experience is geography-specific.
I've noticed that Canada has had chip cards for years while US was signature-based; and have than had tap-to-pay credit card standard for years as US catches up with chips.
Here, it's at the point where I feel quite bad and socially pressured if I "have to" use cash for whatever reason, because I know I'm delaying the line up behind me.

Credit card is usually 2-3 seconds tap and you're done, whereas cash means I have to find it, cashier has examine it, to enter the denomination into the cash register, hit button to open the cash drawer, collect the correct change (which could be a combination of bills and coins), and give it to me, close the drawer etc - minimum of 15-20 seconds per transaction. In a line up of 10, that's 3-4 minutes; in a large busy store, it can really add up.

> low income people who don’t have credit

I know that banking in the US is both weird and antiquated compared to the rest of the developed world, and I also know that the unbanked population is relatively high, but surely most low-income people can own a debit card and pay without cash, no?
This is an excellent list, and it absolutely mirrors the advice I give to people.

> Use the same amount of coffee grounds in your maker regardless of whether you’re making a full pot or not.

This is a tip that is missed way too often, and I love sharing it with people because it seems counter-intuitive. Always prefer to use more coffee than less. If you use too little, as you approach the end of the brew, you're going to start extracting bitter compounds. I think this is probably the easiest way to improve your coffee (though not the best; a grinder and fresh, whole beans is the single biggest improvement one can make -- I consider that one upgrade, not two).

This is why otherwise terrible coffee from the gas station still tastes "strong." It's not strong, it's just really bitter.

I'm Hispanic and have resigned myself to this as well. While I may benefit from getting a job, I'm still subjected to what I would consider racism which I have to publicly turn a blind eye to. I'll give an example:

"Latinx" is not a thing. Yet, I need to listen to a lot of white and other non-hispanic people say it all of the time. It feels like someone just reached into our culture, ripped out its core identity and rebranded it (supposedly in our favor?). I dare not say anything about it though, part of accepting the job with the diversity bonus is that the same people that granted you that power can take it away at the drop of a hat.
> isn't $20 million the market price

Not at all: to have a "market" you need buyers, sellers and goods to be fungible.

In your example buyers and sellers are only 0.000001% of humanity: other people cannot afford to play this game.

Also the goods are unique. Brand new paintings would not be sold by the author him/herself at that price 99% of the time. They skyrocket in value only when sold between billionaires.
