This sounds like scare-mongering to me. It's like saying I need to worry that I won't be able to work on my own car pretty soon because I'm not fighting to make sure people can work on their Teslas (which are infamous for being impossible to work on without factory tools). Sorry, I don't buy it: these problems just don't exist on brand-new Japanese cars. Just because there's one manufacturer out there that sucks and abuses its customers doesn't mean they're all going to start doing that soon; there is such a thing as competition. Stop buying from the crappy manufacturer and then you won't have to complain so much.

I've seen lots of these "farmers can't fix their tractors" articles, and without exception, they're ALL about John Deere. There are other farm equipment makers out there: Kubota and New Holland come to mind.

tl;dr I don’t use React because I don’t like immutability, it gives you bad performance (spoiler: it doesn’t). Also it’s from Facebook, everybody knows that Facebook is evil, hence React is evil.

We're doing this, and I mostly love it. I haven't found a great way to do code re-use across projects yet, and I'm not super happy with the Make function syntax (but, maybe if it needs a function, I should turn it into a shell script that itself is called by the Make command...).

All in all tho, it's a fantastic place to write down long CLI commands (ex: launching a dev docker container with the right networking and volume configurations) that you use a lot when working on the project.

Our Jenkins pipeline also relies on the Makefiles, literally just invoking `make release`, which is also pretty awesome.

This argument uses average income as proxy for what health care spending in the US should be.

That seems clearly wrong given that with US now having a GINI coefficient, high level of income inequality, median household income would be a better thing to measure health care spending, since every individual has to spend money on staying healthy.

The argument generally seems wrong too. The need for health care isn't elastic - if someone need care, they need care and people going without needed health care is a humanitarian crisis (a situation that the US is arguable in - see the people giving free dental in a stadium a few years back).
>Isn't the big problem that you have no idea what it's doing to your system?

As opposed to what exactly? Any other alternative, e.g. separate shell scripts, "npm run" scripts in package.json, running a Docker image, hell even cmake or other make-like tools - does stuff you don't know about without reading the files either.
None of what you mentioned is theory expect for Mathematics, probability, formal methods and algorithms.

Stuff like design patterns, system architectures and software strategies are like flavor of the week stuff. Opinions basically. Patterns like microservices are bad or good depending on opinion, but theory is always correct.
Theory gets less bang for the buck but it's always what many programmers especially self taught ones are missing.

Theory is so hard that it will be hard to see applicability until you're a more seasoned programmer. Many seasoned programmers get by without ever knowing theory. But you will be a better programmer if you know it.

If I were to recommend one theory to study it would be category theory. If there was any true axiomatic theory for design patterns or how to design programs... categories are it. The study of morphisms is the study of the simplest form of a compose-able module. Knowing this theory you will begin to understand why Some design patterns don't work and why it's sometimes hard to reuse patterns in code that was that not properly designed. Theory doesn't answer all questions but for the questions it does answer you will get a definitive answer and not an opinionated one.
I've used a Google Glass, Oculus Rift, Cardboard VR systems and seen a demo of Oculus Rift. Is the Lenovo ThinkReality a real competitor?

> The argument seems to boil down to, "of course it's ugly, just look at it"

Yes, but only because the heart of the modernist movement has been an attempt to deny, belittle and mock the idea that the instinctive aesthetic reaction of the majority to their creations is important or valid. If you think their constructions are ugly, that's not their problem, it's your problem. Firstly, you're too stupid, conservative and narrow-minded to perceive its genius, and secondly, in fact, you actually do like it, or eventually you will, if you just shut up and wait long enough.

It's as if avant-garde jazz advocates were put in charge every radio station and music streaming service on Earth, and given free rein to remorselessly enforce their taste on the whole population, with any dissenter being shouted down and told that, when they eventually forget what all other music sounded like, they'll come to love atonal jazz noise.

In such a situation, the fightback would have to begin with people being told it's OK to trust their own instinct and hate the music that's been forced upon them. Likewise, the fightback against overweening modernism has to begin by bursting the elitist bubble of faux-intellectual obfuscation that modernists have created around architecture. It has to begin by telling people that they have as much right to judge the aesthetics of huge changes to the places they live and work as anybody else, and that if they think the changes are ugly, then that's valid, without any "but..." unfolding into a lecture about how daring and original the latest edifice being foisted upon them actually is.
Almost no one does.
Yeah, I've looked into the six-month option. At least some of those failures are thought to be due to Mom's antibodies — through breastfeeding — fighting the vaccine. So that's also a little bit of solace; we're not totally unprotected as long as she's breastfeeding.

Yes, there's a recent book arguing just this: https://www.amazon.com/Company-They-Keep-Partisan-Divisions/... :

> Are Supreme Court justices swayed by the political environment that surrounds them? Most people think "yes," and they point to the influence of the general public and the other branches of government on the Court. It is not that simple, however.

> As the eminent law and politics scholars Neal Devins and Lawrence Baum show in The Company They Keep, justices today are reacting far more to subtle social forces in their own elite legal world than to pressure from the other branches of government or mass public opinion. In particular, the authors draw from social psychology research to show why Justices are apt to follow the lead of the elite social networks that they are a part of.

I'm one of the people in that camp. I loved React, and still think it's a fantastic tool. A few things that have made me move on:

- Svelte (https://svelte.dev)

- People thinking Redux is brilliant. It's good, but it's a far too complex system to simply manage state. I'm aware this isn't React, but I have worked on very few React projects that don't have Redux

- Run-time load. Back to Svelte. It's inspired me to remove as much run-time work as possible.

- API complexity. The React API has exploded over the last year or two. Hooks, memo, portals, error boundaries. Most of them are clever solutions, but are only required due to the limitations of React.

Sure there is. Section 2 of the Sherman Act makes it illegal to "monopolize, or attempt to monopolize, or combine or conspire with any other person or persons, to monopolize any part of the trade or commerce among the several States, or with foreign nations." You may think that Apple's conduct does not fall under that provision, and it remains to be seen whether the federal courts will agree, but if the legal argument were totally baseless then Apple wouldn't have gone to the Supreme Court to shut it down at a preliminary stage.

$28,000 per household only if every household pays $28,000. But that is never going to happen. It’s going to be percent, and likely a progressively increasing percentage.

If you had a $1,400/mo employer plan you’d likely be paying a lot more than $1,400/mo under single payer.
Semi-related ... I feel like we should tax rent-seeking way more than we do. Selling a piece of property/house is one thing, but to extend your metaphor, why should one get to seek rent on a piece of property in perpetuity (if the tenant stays long term)?

Of course, I understand how valuable short-term living arrangements are for a number of reasons; my issue is with long term landlords, who can evict a tenant who's been there for decades at any whim ... and they reap the profits, while the tenant is out on the streets with nothing to gain from their many years of payments.
What you want to do is ponder over how common functionality around you must work - if you can't come up with a reasonable solution, it's time to google it and learn it. If you can come up with a reasonable solution, google to check if you're correct.

This is the most pragmatic way I've found to learn and stay in touch.
The reality is a bit more complicated than that.

>Farming has to scale down.

Then how are you going to feed everyone?

By the time I left the farm for college, the productivity of the American farmer had increased by almost two orders of magnitude for the 50 years beginning when my grandfather homesteaded in 1911. Improvements in technology, from using tractors instead of horses, modern cultivating techniques (strip farming, idle land cultivating), fertilizer increased yields and cut prices substantially.

When I was 3, my dad and uncle, who were partners in the farm, purchased a tractor for the equivalent of 1200 bushels of wheat. 15 years later, that same tractor would have cost 9500 bushels of wheat.

It isn't so simple that giant companies, whether it be oil, big ag, energy want to make profits. Clearly they do. But when we all insist on buying and driving cars and complain when gasoline prices are too high, there are overall economic forces at work that tend to create opportunities of scale, resulting in Big Ag and Big Energy. The consumer and the hungry mouths are all part of the equation.
It's not a monopoly. There is an acceptable amount of competition. There is nothing to solve.
Sorry, I had limited time to type out that particular comment, so I didn't have the time to place a footnote there that would offer a more nuanced view.

No, we don't all want to get rid of drug cultivation. We do all want to ensure that substance abuse doesn't affect our lives and our families. Of course, that's a vague sentiment and it's hard to get everyone to agree on the specifics of what it means. That didn't stop certain politicians from exploiting that and manipulating general opinion and passing laws and foreign policies that ended up creating a whole lot of suffering for a whole lot of people in different parts of the world.

As a result, there's a whole lot of systemic oppression involved in drug cultivation these days. Unlike child labor, it's not the drug cultivation itself that we should strive to get rid of, but that doesn't negate my original point, which is that just trying to solve the problem in the most direct way possible is going to make things worse.

If you think about it, the other two examples I gave can also be adapted to become something that isn't pernicious in and of itself. If you legalize prostitution and make it a safe profession that adults can choose, instead of resorting to out of necessity, then sex tourism isn't necessarily something you want to get rid of. Similarly, if my kid wants to mow neighborhood lawns to get some money or sell lemonade or babysit other kids, that's not the kind of child labor we're trying to get rid of.

Going back to the topic of drug cultivation, I would recommend reading "Lacrónica" by Martín Caparrós. In one of the chapters, he describes the situation in Bolivia in 1991. One of the many things that fascinated me in his account was the fact that, at that time, a farmer could get 100-150 bolivianos (local currency) for a hand-carried load of coca leaves or 1 boliviano for a hundred oranges. That meant that, to make the same amount of money for one load of coca, a farmer would have to sell 15,000 oranges and there's no way -- even if there's enough demand -- to carry 15,000 oranges in one trip.

I mention this because I think it's a fascinating insight into the systemic oppression I've been talking about. These farmers were not getting rich off their drug cultivation. On the contrary, they lived in quite precarious conditions and they had to cultivate coca leaves to be able to feed themselves and their families.

So yeah, maybe we don't all want get rid of all drug cultivation, but we definitely want to get rid of it in its present form.
This is a thing with Fortnite, but is not a phenomenon with all games that have a similar revenue model. A few years ago I played DotA 2 a lot (like, 10 hours a day every day, while enrolled in school). I did eventually buy some skins to show off, but ultimately it was pointless and everyone knew it. When you saw another player in the game, you didn't think about their skins, aside from maybe ogling at the fancy particle FX for a bit, or maybe some complaining in chat about how it unfairly made hero X look like hero Y, etc. My friends similarly bought skins but ultimately didn't care.

The situation is similar in the MMOFPS Planetside 2. In that game skins are more correlated with skill, and I have gotten a few comments about playing well for someone with no skins. But there is absolutely no negativity.

My younger brother plays Fortnite, and they (he + his friends) have some impressively horrifying obsession with skins. Labeling something or some action as a 'default' is an insult commonly used in real life. I have only played the game a tiny bit, and have no idea why this is the case. Even my college aged friends really care a lot about the skins.
Absolutely. When I get people into learning Git, I start with the obvious (checkout, commit) move to the essential (branches, forks) and then usually say "When you're comfortable with that, start playing around with rebase. When you get into trouble with that, come talk to me again, because that's the key learning moment."

I've learned more messing up when using fancy git rebase stuff than any tutorial.

Why can't it be both? Google won because they were the best, yes. But there's always the possibility of feedback loops. Just look at YouTube - discovery on there of smaller channels has become almost impossible, with bigger channels being reinforced constantly. Granted, video is much harder to understand and surface to users than news. Surely there should be enough content that it's more than a tiny minority which succeeds?

Every major platform is struggling with this.

The biggest issue is not America, it is the third world.

Billions of people are employed by outsourced manufacturing. When they are replaced, no one will be able to afford any kind of safety net for them. There is not enough money to pay for every one's stuff. China, India, Africa, and S. America have all grown on the backs of this outsourcing. When that goes away, we will have many billions of angry, hungry, restless young men.

That is how wars start and how civilizations fall. Previously, countries have typically dealt with an inability to feed their people by starting wars. Those that have not have typically collapsed or starved them (which, in turn, results in collapse). There will need to be some kind of solution. Even if they are all fed, people without purpose are always trouble. As the saying goes, idle hands do the Devil's work.
It does have some advantage for the farmer, assuming tractors have a long life and their used resale value is much lower than their cost.

Suppose they offered, say, 3 models of tractor that were identical except that they had physically different engines. The base model is $100k, the middle model is $110k and 50 more horsepower, and the top model is $120k and 100 more horsepower than the base model.

If a farmer buys the $100k model, and later decides that he needs 100 more horsepower, he's going to have to sell the $100k model and buy the $120k model. He won't get anywhere near $100k for the old one, so the next cost of upgrading is going to be a lot more than the $20k difference between the new prices of the two models.

Now consider if all three models had identical engines, with the horsepower on the $100k and $110k models limited by software in the ECU. Now if our farmer buys the $100k model and decides later than he needs 100 more horsepower, he just has to pay $20k [1].

What's the lifetime of these things? If it is long, the ability to buy just the capacity you need now and upgrade years later as your needs grow by just paying the difference between the cost you the model you bought and the model you now need could be very attractive.

[1] Well, probably a little more, as I would assume that they would price things so that it is a little cheaper to buy a more expensive model up front rather than buy a cheaper model and upgrade later.
