> If your day-to-day life is a constant flurry of schedule changes and time-critical communication

You must not have kids, or much going on. I'm not saying it's chaos, or that everyday is that insane, but it requires coordination. "Blanket advice" like this I find only applies to a small percentage of people. Just the kids alone* make my day pretty nutty, both have hobbies, practices, games, after school events, play dates, sleepovers, they forget things, they need to be picked up because "so and sos" Mom is sick or late - I have doctors appointments which also require multiple prescriptions, I have client meetings, they too are busy and reschedule occasionally. Again, not every day, but enough that using my phone like a fcking toothbrush is just insane. Sorry for the rant.

I have only TWO kids. My peers, with 3 or more would laugh maniacally at this suggestion.

Edit: I apologize, I realize I simply re-stated my original comment, adding more detail. TLDR; I disagree with your assertion ;-)
I hear what you're saying, but I think the point I tried to make in my OP is getting lost here ... in a (well run) facility such as this, nothing would fester unnoticed for years. Actually, I love that you posted some of Grady's videos ... it shows just how much knowledge we have around these problems. And yes, they're not easy, and they're not necessarily cheap to deal with ... but we can deal with them. It's a known problem.

How to Analyze Thread Dumps?
Yeah -- it's the same thing, and I'd argue it's a scam. Companies are not losing money on the lower horsepower tractors or lower speed CPUs. So they are manufacturing a single product and artificially limiting it so it can be sold at a higher market value to remove the limits.

It'd be easier to argue that writing the code and building the governor capabilities into the product in the first place inflate the price of the product to begin with (because adding and supporting "features" require both initial investment and maintenance), and then using the product to it's actual limit is artificially inflated, because they can.
To be technically correct, Elixir is compiled into "Erlang Abstract Format, which is a standard representation of an Erlang AST using Erlang terms." [1] From there it compiles down to bytecode using Erlang tool chain.

So saying that Elixir is transpiled to Erlang is incorrect: it compiles to Erlang AST.

Maybe you heard something about Elixir compiling to Erlang Abstract Form?

The argument against ORMs aren't that they are a leaky abstraction (although they most definitely are).

The argument is although they appear to offer you value up front, they cost you much more down the road. The moment you have a hot path query that needs optimizing, you are dropping down to your ORM's "raw sql" mode. Then you do it again. Then again. Then you are ripping out the ORM and spending cycles refactoring it out of your code and replacing it with simpler abstractions.

I always find the people who don't believe writing raw SQL is preferable to using an ORM is usually down to a lack of experience or because they have been coerced to use ORMs by their "enterprise grade" language (usually your C# developers of the world, no offense to you all but if every time you look up examples of data operations it's dealing with EntityFramework you are probably going to wind up with a lot of devs using EntityFramework). The ORMers, as I call them, don't have confidence in their own SQL ability, and they haven't experienced the aforementioned situation enough times to realize you are better off starting with SQL to begin with.

The realization is, if I could summarize it: yes all abstractions are at least somewhat leaky, so you are better to use simpler ones than complex ones (and if you need something more complex, compose it from simpler ones)

Just that learning to halt subvocal speech even for a couple of seconds seems to be a much harder task than learning keeping an untrained hand still. There seems to be active resistance, a compulsion to internally vocalize, even (/especially) when detrimental. Unlearning it seems possible but no easy task, requiring a large amount of hours and determination in my experience.

> Second, performance tuning becomes harder for people to understand. A core tenant of "lean" is to reduce the number/length of queues in a system to get more predictable latency and to make it easier to diagnose bottlenecks. But everyone always does the opposite with messaging: massive queues everywhere. By the time the alarms go off, multiple queues are backing up and no one is clear on where the actual bottleneck is.

This is avoidable however. Its trivial to aggregate queue depth across nodes and report it to an alerting service.

"I think it is likely (20% or greater) we will compete for resources against non-terrestrial lifeforms before humans leave the solar system, assuming we leave the solar system."

If you want to believe that, fine, but be aware you're believing despite a complete lack of evidence. There's little more than a faint trace of a sign of any life in the rest of the solar system (a few stray whiffs of methane on Mars that aren't that hard to explain geologically), and absolutely no sign of any sort of life that would provide any sort of competition if we decided we wanted their resources.
It's very neat, although there are some errors if you type in a number too large, the error text covers the input box and you aren't able to change your measurement.
Really I think the point is to know what you are abstracting for and not simply dogmatism abstraction for the sake of abstraction or "purity".

If you expect to have a system which handles the low level details that is fine. If you don't want it to possible to mess up state consistency at the cost of possible performance fine.

However, if you expect abstraction to mean latency doesn't vary at all regardless of if it is on chip cache, RAM, hard drive you are going to have a bad time unless you are dealing with a library that specifically tries to mask timing attacks.
Well, I think you may be right. See my edit above. I suspect this is a regional usage pattern and I've just always been in places where "next to last" would be used and not "second to last" so I was thinking they were different, but they apparently are the same!

Nobody doubts that you can efficiently compile high-level LISP programs for certain specific problem domains. In some cases, you can even get an edge over the equivalent, ugly, C program.

But empirically, for general systems programming, C is second only to assembly in performance, the only problem being pointer aliasing (which you can easily avoid in many cases by using global data instead of doing overabstracted OOP).

That's not because C is perfect, but because it gives you the right mindset, and gives you control in a very accessible way. (And yes, of course you can write C-like systems code in LISP, too... If you're masochistic enough).

The benchmarks game should be enough of a proof here (and it's not even for complicated problems). Why don't you try improving SBCL times there and then come back?

https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...
https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

(Not that I care for performance factors of 4 that much by default. These are simple programs. And at least they refute the ludicrous claim that C is slow, right?).
But that's not how capitalism works! Are you a commie? /s
Yes, but this is the point - they stick to ugly looking touchscreens that are guaranteed to work. They could take screens from some tablet for few bucks, but they know that when they sell 100000 of cars and 20% would fail within two years it would cost them a lot to fix within warranty. If they start to fail after warranty, it would be huge impact on their good will and resale value on those cars would be damaged.
Correct, and they aren't losing money when they sell to consumers that don't need to full capabilities. Yet the tractor itself is already capable (and purchased -- or at least financed which amounts to legal ownership going to the consumer). They recoup their initial dimes in the base cost of the unit.

So JD, which isn't losing money on the "entry level" product provides no actual goods or service for the upgrade, beyond removing the governor. At that point, it's more or less free money to JD -- profit with nothing provided the consumer.

The inability to keep assets hidden ("safe") means an LLC would be more valuable for a non-wealthy person. While a wealthy person squirrels away their assets somewhere, a poorer person needs LLC protection exactly so their personal assets don't get taken away.

To the last point, losing everything, even if it's less, would be more devastating than a richer person losing half of what they have in a judgement. So a poor person needs a LLC to avoid the calamity of everything being taken.

Before LLCs it was only established families or folks with very wealthy patrons/backers who started companies. Now millions of people from every financial status do so. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

"I think it's that if we can't avoid damage to multi-billion year evolved, robust ecosystems on our home planet, we might not successfully craft off-planet ecosystems that will sustain us indefinitely."

It's surprising in light of the prevailing idea that markets enforce competition towards the lowest price. This idea forms the basis of the claim that market-driven healthcare benefits consumers by lowering costs.

I don't see how that makes it any better. Recycled waste certainly shouldn't be ending up in rivers.

We need to reduce our waste, but we should also handle our waste better. Dumping it in rivers is not acceptable.

2015 percent of nontoxic garbage export that is plastic/mixed[1]: ~9%

Probable amount of EU plastic that gets exported to top 10 country: 26.9k - 53.8k tonnes

Abstractions should also simplify.

If an abstraction makes something unnecessarily complex, then using abstraction for the sake of abstraction isn't useful.

In the spirit of YAGNI, you shouldn't try planning too far ahead with your abstractions. From my experience, sometimes your clever planning all falls into place, but most the time something significant shifts in client demands and your abstractions don't make much sense anymore and add nothing but a layer of complexity to deal with that didn't need to be there to begin with.
As a Ginsberg related aside I often think his poem "I Am a Victim of Telephone" could be refreshed as a comment on modern life.

I would guess that to most of the world's population "prohibition of the use of illegally obtained evidence" is a crazy and stupid idea. Apart from the USA, which countries have a rule like that? (Perhaps Germany does?)

I'm not saying the rule didn't serve a useful purpose in some particular historical circumstances, but in general if you know that X is true then you should use that fact to avoid miscarriages of justice, and if crimes were committed in establishing the truth of X then you should hold a separate trial of the people responsible for those crimes (unless of course they are dead or for some other reason cannot be tried).

I don't understand how this diminishes the fault of the countries. They took the garbage, got paid for it or profited from the valuable recyclables, then dumped the refuse into the rivers. 50% of the garbage comes from a single river that flows entirely within China.

I understand you can't put the blame on a people as a whole and there are bad actors there, but a sovereign country needs to take responsibility.
Learning about automata theory was one of the most mind-expanding experiences I had in college. It was certainly not something I would've stumbled upon without guidance. I believe that describes most of the value I derived from a degree, being nudged in the right directions toward solutions and problems that a lot of smart people have though about for a while.

Understanding how different languages, or inputs more generally, can be transformed into meaningful outputs is pretty satisfying. It's a topic that almost seems to transcend the realm of computer science.
How You Are Reading This Page (2017)
Reading that generously and since we’re talking about abstractions... reading from disk via mmap does work via page faults! Except... it’s a layer up. Doing random reads on an mmap’d file will likely have terrible performance until those pages have been cached, but one layer down there’s no guarantee that sequential reads from an mmap’d file are going to be sequential reads from disk! (Because the file isn’t guaranteed to be laid out sequentially on disk)

Others in this discussion have talked about some abstractions being perfect and a consumer not needing to understand the layer beneath; I strongly disagree. Ultimately, the physical reality of the machine will come into play (disk, RAM, caches, network, CPU etc), and I am generally uncomfortable if I don’t have a solid feel for how the high-level operations in an abstraction are going to use those resources.
Similar process for me. I worked in a few startups in Berlin and didn't enjoy it so switched to freelancing out of frustration.

There's a lot of react contracts on LinkedIn which you usually find through recruiters that take around 25%, they pay well but the work isn't as interesting or engaging to me (usually big corporations in generic markets).

The best work for sure is through referrals. My first gig was through an old boss, and I'm starting to learn that letting your friends and old coworkers know you're looking for work in the near future is often better than taking something more 'secure'. Clients often want someone immediately and aren't willing to wait two or three weeks while you finish up a previous project, especially if the project is more attractive (and the competition is higher).

Pensions are a great thing if you work for the same company from 23 (right out of collage) until you retire at 65. How many reading this will work at the same company for 42 years though? For many the company you worked for is no more, others were laid off through no fault of their own. Most of the rest could stay at that first company in theory but there was a better opportunity that you had to not take (even if it turns out worse in hindsight). That doesn't leave very many to make it to retirement working for one company.

Then there is inflation. $5000/month for retirement sounds good now, but will it be when you actually get to retirement?
