Your understanding of the tragedy of the commons is not accurate. Cases of pollution in public waters are typically prime examples of tragedies of the commons. Just because it's a "negative economic externality" does not mean that it is not a tragedy of the commons. Even the wiki page for tragedy of the commons lists "water pollution" as an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons#Example...

Maximizing yield via regulation is usually the ECON101 lesson that accompanies discussions about the tragedy of the commons.
ZNetLive Startup Accelerator Program – Free Web Hosting for Startups
One method I’ve found, although slightly obscure and more frontend related:

1. Visit a complex web app, check if source maps are enabled.

2. Using Chrome DevTools, download the sources and source maps.

3. Install shuji, https://github.com/paazmaya/shuji

4. Run shuji recursively on the source maps to output normal code.

5. Review Components/code to see how current companies are carrying out (best) practices, etc.

For me, it helped break down how different companies (with closed source) are structuring React/Redux code for complex apps.

Hi! Author here.
I think you hit the nail on the head here. The optimizer is unaware of the control flow, because the control flow is added by the code generator.(And with it, the distinction between computing a value and referencing it). It's a control-flow-less IR, sort of.

I routinely reply on Amazon's feedback that packaging was clearly excessive whenever I am given the change to do so. To receive a micro SD card in (1) a plastic container, inside a (2) cardboard container, inside an (3) A4 Amazon cardboard envelope is bordering criminal.

Everyone should read this. It is an amazing effort in education. Almost too good. I wonder what techniques they used to compose it. Seem like it might have been machine assisted?
And where does Amazon offer colo services? What they offer is Direct Connect at certain (non-Amazon) data centers. That costs about 20k per year for a 10Gb port, ON TOP of the colocation and cross connect fees you are paying at the data center where you want to establish the connection. If you want to bring the restore time down to 12 hours, you need 24 connections (and you need at least as many servers, no single server can handle 240Gb of traffic), so we are now at about 480k+X (large X!) per year per petabyte just for the connections you need in case you have a catastrophic failure (establishing such a connection takes days or even weeks, even if ports are available immediately, so you can't establish the connections "on demand").

That's not even talking about availability, as you are now getting into the realm where it starts to get questionable whether even Amazon has enough backhaul capacity available at those locations so that you can actually max out 50+ 10Gb connections simultaneously.
To me, this sounds suspiciously like a No True Scottsmen argument. What you describe is the science we have. Maybe we can fix some of the corruption and pollution in the literature, maybe we can't. But it seems, to me, disingenuous to blame the "public" for conflating the science that exists with the Platonic ideal.

FWIW, I'm about to defend my PhD in a STEM discipline. In my eyes, science has far less credibility to me now than it did five years ago before I saw how the sausage is made. That's an N of at least one that this not only a problem outside scientific circles.
So you are claiming China paid money for recycling waste and then threw it straight in the ocean?

Seems incredibly implausible.
Imported plastic is only 12% of China's plastic waste. It turns out consumer plastic is just to varied, too contaminated, and too low valued to reliably recycle. More info here: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2018/11/china...

Hi! Author here.
Honest question, because I don't know all the facts:

- Given that in this IR, every value has a single definition, and every use must reference that value, I'd argue that this is already SSA form.

- In fact, the concept of 'variable' is mostly missing, there's only a repeated reference to the same value. I think that simplifies things a lot, but maybe too much.

- Optimizing across expression boundaries is in fact very much the point, if we can keep the semantics the same.

Thanks for your interest!
Sounds like someone I would've been friends with. Thanks for bringing humanity to the headline.

lol good luck with that. the main thing that makes this work is that the company trying micro services most likely grew large and now has a big engineering team. It also moves slower than it used to due the stage it's in. In that case any architecture would work really...you have a huge team of engineers that moves slowly and can troubleshoot whatever issues arise. yay to micro services!
I was in Walmart last night and they had no bags. I asked, “have you stopped providing bags now?” Fully expecting the answer to be yes, BYO only now.

Surely I can't be the only one who hates all fizzy water. After growing up on Coke, fizzy water and flavored fizzy water all tastes like bitter piss to me. My mouth feels the fizz, expects sugar, and then rejects it.

I long ago quit soda, and in fact recently (and with no drama) basically quit a pint-of-cold-brew/4-6 shots/day espresso habit. Pretty much the only beverage with any taste I drink these days contains alcohol (that's a story for another day).

Mostly I only drink plain flat water. But I can't stomach that fizzy, bitter junk.

Funniest thing about my soda addiction is the only thing that makes me crave it is ice cream. Which is so funny; try drinking a coke after ice cream. It tastes terrible because you can't taste the sugar in the soda anymore, after the sugar rush of the ice cream. But I still crave it. All I can figure is my brain has associated the sugar rush with a caffeine hit, and my brain isn't happy when it gets sugar but no caffeine.

I do wonder when humanity will change our ways to stop wrecking the only planet we have, while there's still a chance.

First step is acknowledging plastic is a systemic problem that is rapidly becoming more trouble than it is worth. Then regulation to require degradable alternatives, re-use and dramatically reduce our consumption in the first place.

Or do we just keep relying on the economic myth of infinite growth until collapse? Which, of course, doesn't even make sense economically.

Nah we paid China to "recycle" trash. And instead of actually recycling they just pocketed the money and dumped it.

They got paid money to take the plastic off our hands and recycle it, not the other way around.

I think the claim is rather that China got paid for taking recycling waste and then did that.
I think a good point is raised about why this guy. There were 50 people that all had lives, but we picked on the tech guy. It ends up feeling mildly disrespectful. Like we aren't remembering this guy because of his achievements, we're remembering him because of how he died, and now he's been reduced to his achievements.

I don't know. You could make a case that people in the community knew him, so it makes sense to remember him. Maybe its 'good' that he had any positive achievements worthy of note at all. Most deaths don't warrant even a footnote.
The problem is that there are at least 5 or 6 different parts of your original comment that are completely lacking in context / elaboration, so that readers are left guessing about what you are trying to say. I don’t know what “their setup”, “making their toolchain and business processes work”, “the stackoverflow setup”, etc. mean, or what I am supposed to be comparing.

If you can quantify, e.g. “they spent 16 man-years working on a development process that saves no more than two weeks for each new project, and they only have a few dozen projects to use it on”, then I would have a much clearer idea of the scope, even if I still didn’t know what this process was. On the flip side, if this new process makes the difference between a high-impact future project succeeding vs. failing or getting started vs. never getting tried, it might still be worth it.

At a higher level, having people spend some amount of their professional time on public-facing work that helps more than themselves or their local organization isn’t necessarily such a terrible thing. If many organizations and individuals spend time volunteering their time to larger-scale open projects, it can end up as a multiplier for everyone’s effort.

All modern software projects (not to mention every other type of project) are built on millions of man-years of effort by huge numbers of people, most of whom didn’t recover much if any of the value they created.

I don't pay for data in other countries. It's throttled unless I buy a day pass. For longer stays I usually buy a cheap local SIM and sign into Google Voice and DIGITS for free calling and number portability.

So you have data SIMs that share from the same pool? I use a few hundred GB's per month. How much would this cost on Fi? I currently have 4 unlimited SIM's, a extra voip number, and a low speed SIM with one of my line numbers copied. It costs about $160/mo. If I run into an area where I don't have service, I have a second provider that's also unlimited and costs $4/mo.

These stories rarely mention this for some reason but the bulk of the plastic junk in the ocean is discarded fishing nets, not consumer waste. Reducing the plastic waste you personally generate is still a good idea, of course, but if you really want to have an impact then stop eating fish.

Considering the current state of recycling, it may be better to just throw our plastics away instead of putting them in recycling bins. With China turning away our recycling, some cities have started burning them (according to recent headlines - I don't have a source). I would think that would be worse for our environment that putting them in landfills.

According to the study by the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research [1], 90% of ocean waste comes from 10 rivers - 8 in Asia and 2 in Africa. I'm not sure if what we do in the U.S. and Europe will have much impact on the oceans.

Not only that it was all pretty easy to recycle and often reused. None of the countless types of plastic, and composite materials that can't be currently recycled.
> Your phrasing makes it sound like you're conflating science and physical reality

Really, it doesn't. Science is exactly the process that does all those things, because science is the process which forms the methods and artifacts we use in such a way that they successfully exploit the mechanisms of the natural world.

> but it's the work they do with that knowledge that accomplishes those things

That is an obviously nonsensical statement. Yes, that work is a component of accomplishing those things, but so is the science. An engineer or doctor that did not use scientific results nor scientific methodology would not accomplish anything either. And arguably, what engineers and doctors do, when done right, is also science. An engineer building a plane is building a (physically represented) hypothesis of how something can be made to fly, and then tests that hypothesis. The only difference between what you would call a scientist and what you would call an engineer is the generalized applicability of their result, not the fundamental methodology they are using to arrive at that result--in particular in comparison to the "alternative", namely a faith-based epistemology, which is what is generally proposed by those sceptical of the scientific method.
> Popularity of a framework or paradigm seems largely driven by marketing and memes.

I think a whole lot of developers choose technologies because they are popular at the moment for two reasons: they lack the technical knowledge and experience or maybe just confidence and/or they avoid some responsibility this way (since everyone is doing it).

Of course this is most acute in web development because it attracts younger developers.

Also the words performance and scalability attracts developers like moth to a flame.

Personally I think Spring Boot with Kotlin is a way better choice today for monoliths that transition well to micro services. But if you're already deep in the RoR world just go with that.

Running into stack or framework-related scaling problems is an honor and a huge accomplishment. Those are good problems and there are many ways to solve them, which will be extremely motivating at that point because people are actually using your thing.

> If you think you know everything, you will miss a lot.

However, searching for low probability events in a large search space is not necessarily going to be a fruitful experience. For example, imagine that there is non-zero probability of a 20 karat diamond being on the beach somewhere, buried in the sand. You can look for it as much as you want, but you will still probably miss it.

Having a small outlet for things that seem crazy because they might turn out to be true is the same kind of logic as buying a lottery ticket because you can't win if you don't play. Yes, you will miss things, but you will almost certainly miss them anyway unless you expend more resources than they are worth -- and then you still aren't guaranteed to make progress.

On the other hand low probability risks that are likely to happen sometime are often worth investigating. For example, if there is a 1 in 1000 year earthquake event, it's highly unlikely to affect you in your life. But it will eventually affect someone so it may be work the effort to study what might happen. To get more esoteric, perhaps we can talk about large meteorites hitting the planet. Do we need a contingency plan for it?

To me, that's the main question you need to ask before you start: are we building up an understanding of something that will almost certainly affect us one day, or are we simply sifting through grains of sand on the beach hoping to find a diamond?
