I'm not convinced that we actually use "rational thought" very much - isn't there a theory that what we think of as "rational thought" is really a narrative constructed after the fact to explain our own deeper thought processes to ourselves in a very post-hoc fashion.

I suspect this is why "old fashioned" symbolic AI floundered - it was trying to mechanise how we think we think (or rather how we used to think we think) rather than the actual underlying processes.
Letting trees grow and sucking up co2, and then making them into charcoal/biochar, putting that into the soil is one simple way to do it.

Even if not done, still think a living forest has to be much better than a plain or desert.
Planting trees definitely does not hurt and as you say, prevents soil erosion and helps keep ground water which is going to be more and more important as we go. Just don't think this will magically revert global warming, this would be dangerous attitude.

I make lists of rules like this from time to time.

They're not very effective. People will agree with the rules, follow them to the letter, and completely miss the point. Painting a car red and calling it a Ferrari doesn't work.

I suspect that's why so many shops have trouble getting good results with unit tests.

You've got to have a team leader who is experienced enough to be able to tell when literal adherence to the rules is suboptimal.
I’m in favour of nuclear, but what you say of renewables is only half right. PV is currently around 0.5 terawatts and 2018’s relatively slow growth was 27%, and at these rates it is likely to solve most of our problems before any nuclear plant not yet commissioned gets finished.

As for land usage, if the USA did this it would be smaller than the road network, rising to “about the same” if you want to replace all ICE cars with battery cars.

CO2 capture, and desalination, don’t need to be run 24 hours per day, so there’s no reason to care if they don’t have energy storage to run at night. Likewise, AC is most important when, and just after, the sun is shining, so the storage need is low.

Storage does have a long way to go before we’re out of trouble, but even if I wasn’t fairly optimistic about it, PV knocks out the worst carbon sources first, giving us more time to build — for example — your preferred nuclear reactors.
Capital One Data Breach 2019 What to Do?

Well, humanity uses around 15 billion tonnes of coal and oil and gas every year. At that speed, in just 30 years, we add as much carbon to the atmosphere as entire biomass of Earth.

> I think the biggest downside of Dark is definitely that you’re learning a new language...

But this is not it. Learning new languages isn't that hard, and a language so well designed for an ecosystem would likely be a pleasure to use. They are probably giving this as their "big downside" because it's not actually their big downside.

The real big downside is proprietary lock-in. My tools right now are open source, developed in the open, things I can contribute to or at least understand at a fundamental level. "Python" can't go out of business, "Postgres" won't get acquihired and shut down with 30 days notice, and Docker images can run on plenty of hosting providers where there's lots of competition.

While I might bet a company on a new technology I'm not going to bet a company entirely on the whim of a company, who may pivot, get bought, shut down, raise prices, etc. Hosting is the closest I'd get to this level of lock-in, but if that changes I don't have to rewrite all of my code, reproduce business logic, and also rewrite from a high level language like Dark to something that doesn't provide any of the same primitives.

Because of rate of mutation. Maybe ratios of different genotype subpopulations changed but there could have been only minimal changes via mutation. Where does the idea that evolution works fast come from?
You could check that the vote adds up, but you cannot check that the vote are correct.

Since Voatz is basically a private blockchain, there is no way to check that the blockchain was tampered with, or even saved the correct votes, before the it has been made public (which will be after the vote).
The only way would be to have a mechanism for people to check if there vote was correctly saved at any point. And this is a very big problem, has having a way to know who vote for who in a democracy is a very very very big no no.

I work at Citus (now Microsoft) so my opinion is biased but I think Citus [1] codebase is a really good example.

It borrows all the best practices from PostgreSQL the naming of variables and functions are more self-explaining in general.

I'm not familiar with Akka, but both NATS Streaming and Liftbridge sound like they'd fit your purpose.

NATS on its own won't cut it, since it has no persistence and is entirely real-time (new clients receive messages published after they connect, not old messages).

I've not used Liftbridge yet, but plan to. While NATS Streaming is solid, its distributed design seems a bit ramshackle, relying on a combination of Raft and a shared state (a distributed file system or an SQL database) for failover. Liftbridge seems like a better design to me.
Virtually all pre-iphone featurephones could install third-party Java apps.
This is the right approach to do this kind of stuff!

The problem with dark is that it's a language and it's 'hidden and proprietary' - unfortunately, it's too dark to know what it actually is so we can't but assume. I hope I'm wrong and it's less of a language and more of an editor.

I'm working on a similar sideproject where you define your data in a tree-like shape then generate stuff from that with events in between. Kind of AST but more of an Architecture Syntax Tree.
The advantages are exactly what you said and dark claims - compiled code is deployed code, otherwise it is just a data tree.

This enables automatic versioning, caching, generation and provides a better UX for development where your types are infered, your tests obvious, your errors are clear as a day and you basically can't fuck up.
> I wouldn't say it's that stable or that the rest of Africa is instable, especially compared to Europe. It's just that Europe industrialized earlier and got to reap rewards that can only come from most simple needs being met easily.

Europe's industrialization as well as other Western countries heavily depended on the exploitation of third world countries in Asia and Africa, especially after WW2.

Sweatshops and slavery and cheap mass transportation of goods make our lifestyle possible. For a very recent example, smartphones produced in the US/Europe would simply not be affordable for most users and the technology would be nowhere near where it is nowadays since initial smartphones would have never been popular. It took suicide-level conditions in places like Foxconn to get us our gadget at <$1000.

So who are African nations going to exploit? Each other?

Directory apps. My self-education is still underway. I hope to build a SaaS product soon.
Ah, well, then it was not a "homocody" issue, only a "bad transcription" or "human error".

It is not surprising that having a unique citizens code doesn't prevent the confusion of identities when the transcription/inscription is not accurate.

But with all due respect, it is only a truism.

Which however opens the usual dicotomy between frequency of the problems and procedures designed to fix them, it is likely that an extremely rare problem has no "easy fix" exactly because it is rare and maybe it was the first time it happened to the DMV employees involved and there was not an already actually "coded" resolution.

On the other hand, when a problem happens often enough, there will be a ready made, "common" solution to it and even if the high frequency of the problem is actually a sign of an original bad implementation, the public will not perceive it as an issue.
I agree that there are risks and waste from nuclear, my main issue is that for some reasons coal plants have larger damage to the environment and population. My opinion is that we should not rush on building new nuclear plants but finish the ones that are already built, use them to full capacity , invest into research for the safer nuclear versions.

I would not like to have a nuclear plant near my house, but if you have to chose between a coal plant that is polluting and radiating all the time is running and a new nuclear plant design that it would fail only in super rare events (there are designs that would be safe even if the cooling system fails) then I definitely don't want the coal plant.

Btw nuclear is used in medicine, there are labs that use radioactive materials, I think the number of this would grow and it may end up in countries you don't trust but you can't stop progress,
it might be a feature, but the side effect of the messy complexity is still a bug
> This material is not meant for people who aren't on an XP team. It's good advice for product managers who are.

No, it isn't. A PM should be having these conversations - briefly! - in front of the rest of the team in the standup, and in more depth in a weekly planning meeting.

If a PM feels a need for updates more often than that, then that is a problem of theirs that they should work in in their one-on-ones with their manager, not something they should dump on their team and then blog about.

It's sad that a PM at Pivotal has gone adrift like this, but it's tragic that this shitty advice has made it to the company's blog.
> Generating and inserting fake data

Sounds very promising just to be very quickly downgraded to

> something simple and quick

In this case that is only how to insert a bunch of rows that have only numbers and timestamps as these are types that `generate_series` supports.

Maybe someone will actually find it useful, so not saying that a tip is completely useless but personally I think it will be very rare for it to be actually fit for purpose.
A huge majority of the time when I need to generate fake data there are other data types involved and usually, there are some constraints between them as well.

Other tips sound very nice and will keep them in my notes.
Let's not be naïve... If he had a source, they would have to act on it, close everything down, and else. Then the phone price would rise to $400 and the factory would close as well, and all the supply chain would suffer. I guess they just turn their heads the other way on this kind of things.

I ageee that YouTube sucks for many reasons. They have a weird undocumented algorithm that defines what gets popular and as a result creators are constantly playing games to bait it. Their monetization/demonetization policies are just bonkers. Their copyright enforcement system is Kafkaesque. Plus, as a consumer they seem to be going down the facebook route of trying to curate my viewing choices in a way that suits them.

But they can do that as they are a private company. They don't owe anyone anything. If you rely on YouTube for a living without a backup plan then you are dumb.

YouTube is no longer the only player in online video. If you don't like what YouTube is doing then look at alternative platforms.
Not sure this is true anymore. The market is so big, those two can't cover it all.
More power also means higher bids and more frequency control which is very useful too for 1st layer ancillary services.

Energy is good, but power is also very important. You can stabilize the frequency (with active power) and the voltage (with reactive power). Both are traded and needed.
Having followed the process as described, i'd agree. If a project runs for more than a few months, you forget why decisions were made. I don't think XP in general has a great story about how to deal with this.

It's great to see JS getting some of the features of better planned languages.

But I'm still very nervous about some of the stuff mentioned here with regard to mutation. Taking Rust and Clojure as references, you always know for sure whether or not a call to e.g. `flat` will result in a mutation.

In JS, because of past experience, I'd never be completely confident that I wasn't mutating something by mistake. I don't know if you could retrofit features like const or mut. But, speaking personally, it might create enough safety-net to consider JS again.

(Maybe I'm missing an obvious feature?)
Can you provide a citation for your first point? I don't see how Haldane's Rule would support that, but maybe I am missing something.
Absolutely nothing. Well except Java. (Just kidding, Java is fine!).

I would guess it's mostly human-based selection, supported by algorithms.

Zero-till is awesome. Most of the farmers in Saskatchewan aren't quite fully zero-till but till a lot less than they used to. But zero-till is not organic, so the masses think it's bad.
I would submit that someone living in Finland, who is a citizen of Greece, born in Norway, is not contractually obligated by the U.S. Constitution, unless they accept it in some way or other, and if so, that acceptance may be in conflict with other contracts (such as other citizenships) that they may have accepted prior.

So no, probably not.

On the other hand, I would presume that anyone who works for the U.S. Government has accepted the U.S. Constitution, either explicitly (by Oath) and/or implicitly (by the act of working for the U.S. Government).

Why is this important?

Well, see, if those people are in charge of creating/enforcing sanctions, they are also contractually obligated to do so while NOT BREAKING THEIR CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION TO UPHOLD EACH AND EVERY ASPECT OF THE CONSTITUTION.

One of the things that The Constitution says (above) is that people (all people by the way, not just some of a specific nationality, and not just those that have accepted the Constitution) are NOT to be deprived of their property without Due Process (which includes but is not limited to a Trial By a Jury of one's peers).

So... you do the math.
Instead of focusing on the lady involved, perhaps holding Capital One accountable for their part in the matter may be a better thrust to this thread.

While it might not be okay to instigate such breaches, we might also consider it the actions of a whistleblower. Especially given the unusual way she went sbout disclosing things.

Sure, perhaps there is a little bit of hey look at me about it, but at the bottom of the trough it is actually the corporation that has ultimate responsibility.

I look forward to a statement from Capital One of regret that they allowed the breach to happen and will strive for better standards of security.

And that is actually a message for the entire industry.

Yes, it appears so. From MDN:

> The flatMap() method first maps each element using a mapping function, then flattens the result into a new array. It is identical to a map() followed by a flat() of depth 1, but flatMap() is often quite useful, as merging both into one method is slightly more efficient.

The part about parameter less catch reveals a lot about the philosophy of the language. For me, silencing error like this is a bad practice. You may still produce a sane error in the catch, but the design goes toward silencing things.

I really love languages that force you to handle errors up to the top level.
NATS is a solid piece of engineering. I rank it alongside Postgres and Memcached in terms of reliability and convenience. It just works.

I have an app in production that publishes real-time events via NATS at high volume, and it has never failed. You do have to understand its design -- NATS can drop messages, and your application has to deal with this.

One lesser-known feature of NATS is that it's embeddable -- if you're writing a Go app, you can use it as a library. You end up with a single statically linked binary that can do everything out of the box.

Liftbridge looks like a neat way to add a layer of statefulness to NATS. I have an app that will need a log abstraction, and have been hoping to avoid integrating any oversized guns like Kafka (whose dependency on ZooKeeper makes it operationally more complex) and Pulsar for what is a fairly simple system.
