Things are becoming more like the unix philosophy, modular and shared. Even though feature creep is increasing on modular systems, as long as the core components are simple to understand and introduced first, extra features do not necessarily decrease utility.

For example tmux, if you look at a cheat sheet you might be overwhelmed, but when I teach people to use it they find it extremely simple. I just tell them ctrl-c to create a new window, and ctrl-w to switch windows. They only need 2 commands to get value, even though there are hundreds of features, and later they can incrementally learn about them.

This is the same way I learned programming, the people learn emacs and vim. You start with the MVP feature set that will make it functional and you learn about features from there.

Even AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, even though they're mega services of now insane size and feature breadth, they're creating single services that are easy to understand and compose together. You don't need to understand a lot to copy files in and out of AWS s3 for example, and you can compose many services together even after a basic understanding. You can slowly learn about more features as you work.

In the future, things like apache arrow will also help as you can retain services as modular but potentially share memory when composing services. This idea of service composition is also common in Haskell and other functional languages, where if it's possible to do lazy evaluation you can avoid redundant work. Now that the unix philosophy is being more widely adopted, although renamed to microservice fundamentals, these ideas of lazy evaluation and protected data sharing probably be the next level of services research.
Getting someone to regurgitate something they've been explicitly taught and memorized instead of trying to solve a problem they haven't been (does any CS course explicitly teach fizzbuzz) does not seem like good job selection criteria.

And how is that different than getting someone to regurgitate problems thet learned by studying leetCode?

If you can’t code fizzbuzz even after being told about the mod operator, how can you be expected to solve harder business problems once given the requirements?
> many of the oligarchs quite literally stole what they have during the 1990s

Yeah well, it's not like people like Richard Branson didn't do the same (to this very day)...

Throughout the ages, wealth tends to be opportunistically accrued, to put it mildly. Steinbeck wrote something about that. It's just that we are somewhat closer to the age of "primary enrichment" when it comes to Russia, whereas we've kinda forgotten our own robber barons.

As someone who had my run-ins... i was usually pulled over for speeding, then a couple of times I was taken to he police station for refusal to do field sobriety tests. The trick to beating these breathalyzers is burping audibly prior to taking the test. This mandates a 30min wait to clear the alcohol from your mouth. Do this a couple times and youve just burned off one drink.

YMMV.
The Exascale Computing Project is a collaborative effort of two U.S. Department of Energy organizations – the Office of Science (DOE-SC) and the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA).

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is planning to ask the US Congress for “between $3 billion and $4 billion over 10 years.” This is “roughly the amount the agency is spending to build next-generation “exascale” supercomputers”. China accounted for 60% of all investments in AI from 2013 to 2018. U.S. investments were about 30% of the global total. China dominates the number of AI publications, whereas the European Union has the most AI researchers, Joseph says. But U.S. researchers in AI get the most citations per paper, he says, suggesting their research has the most impact. [1]

Agreed, but in my personal view social sciences are not really sciences at all. They have a largely ideological component. I expect there to be disagreements there. On the other hand denying hard sciences seems much worse.

I agree with you, for now. But, I can imagine a future where library payloads will increase significantly. In those cases, shared caching will be pretty useful (I'm thinking along the lines of a ffmpeg WASM lib for web based video editing apps - sounds crazy, I know, but I think we're heading in that direction!). I could of course be totally wrong, and instead we just get fancier browser APIs with little need for WASM... I guess we wait and see!

I don't know how to transfer that knowledge to a new dev other than experience and mentorship. As it takes a lot of business domain knowledge and soft skills to anticipate the type of ripples any decision will make. Even the ripples that you intentionally make like, let's crank out this MVP in Rails/Django with the knowledge that we will be rewriting this entire thing three years later so we can get this to market now.
Alternatively, instead of passively ingesting information in the hopes that it will be useful to you, as soon as you decided you wanted to get a programming job you could have done a quick google search to learn about the state of the industry.

I believe that improving your ability to think critically and find information quickly when you need it will benefit you infinitely more than spending that time on watching the news.

I really believe this is the only way you can write good software. It's mind blowing to me that most people try to "figure out" the problems before seeing what it actually is. I always feel strange when someone is writing a "study" by reading the documentation of some API or even worse, by reading someone's feature request. The writer of a feature request usually knows even less about the whole thing and really did not think things through. We need tools and programming languages where you can create really dirty but working solutions and make it iteratively better. You need to find all the edge cases and pitfalls and for that you need to fail. Of course you need to fail fast, this method does not work if the iteration is slow and the thing is in production when you find out that it barely works.

I'd like to know what you think "where leaks are not a concern" might mean. As a web developer, I have no idea how I'd be able to know that, even if I were perfectly benevolent and competent. Loading resources from a CDN is exactly the sort of thing that a malicious website can use for a timing attack.

This sounds to me no different than a developer wanting to opt-out of memory protection, on the basis that it will be a little faster -- and my program doesn't have any bugs or viruses!

Wealth taxes are actually bad for society, and especially bad for altruistic people who care about the less fortunate. A wealth tax is a tax on capital, period - and making capital more expensive hurts everyone, but it hugely hurts those who need capital the most. If you care about lowering inequality without hurting folks more than you have to, what you want is a mildly-progressive consumption tax. (I.e. an income tax which exempts most savings and investments from counting as income.)

(Oh, and perhaps get rid of assorted insanity such as Prop 13 in CA, so that the real estate market can become functional, and those who own lots of expensive real estate pay their fair share.)
After reading the other comments I think I was probably wrong. A lot more choices of libraries and versions nowadays that chances of cache hits on cdns has decreased.
In some (many?) states, you can request a blood draw in lieu of field breathalyzer (without losing your license). It's usually the better option in that situation.
Winning in traffic court is like winning forced arbitration. There is no neutral jury, you have judge that is being payed by the same government who benefits from the fines. Speed traps are illegal in California yet i still see cops hiding in alleys or shooting lidar off overpasses. It’s worse in small cities where city cops sit at the transition of highway speeds to city speeds and catch inattentive drivers.
I was given a breathalyzer test at a road block after admiting I had two bottles of beer with dinner about an hour before. The test came back with a blood alcohol level of 0.02 which is well below the legal impairment level. The officer asked me to sign a statement confirming the reading and the amount I had consumed, so that in the event that the calibration was disputed by someone they could call on me to testify in court. I agreed and was the 7th or 8th person on their list that had signed with results.

Breathalyzers should be regulated by the FDA or thrown out entirely. A blood test is regulated and therefore should be realible. Right now Breathalyzers are 510(K) exempt... this is clearly untenable.

I'm unware of stories where Richard Branson, or any other present-day British or American billionaire, got their wealth by capturing a business as it was spun off from government control.

This doesn't really follow at all, and is directly in contradiction with your desire to get rid of Prop 13. Property taxes are the most common wealth tax!

Maybe instead of depending on the sporadic largesse of billionaires and all the awful political and economic consequences that come along with that kind of wealth concentration, we can have a functioning safety net, like the rest of the developed world.
That's a good way of putting it.

I could write a book on the assumptions, stereotypes and missed opportunities involved in buying into that shift.

I suspect we're going to agree to disagree here, but I highly advise you to re-consider the idea of framing a roll back as an unforced failure to your team. The last dynamic you want in a retrospective is one where not only did an unexpected failure happen (a bug pushed to production), but then the team collectively 'let you down' by pulling the rollback lever, instead of thinking and working harder on fixing the issue live. In such a scenario you're forcing people to feel they need to "cry uncle" when they can't solve the problem quickly, and putting themselves into the middle of a conflict of interest between making a well-tested, reviewed change that is sure to fix the problem, and rolling the dice on a quick fix in the hope it'll reduce the total outage. That's not the recipe for a positive, blameless culture.

When we roll back on my team, it's uncommon but when it happens it's considered a success if it was made through a systematic decision-making process. Making a sane decision in the interest of our users to restore service quickly is always a win. I can assure you, it does not compromise your ability to do continuous delivery or small changes by having and occasionally using a rollback mechanism. If you are fearful of the idea that having such a mechanism and plan in place somehow will lead to people questioning your principles in a way you cannot defend, then that is a separate problem, since the two things you mention that are incompatible are in fact compatible and highly defensible.

It is not a legacy from "waterfall" or any of the other things you mention, because your claim can be refuted through a single counter example, and I've worked on 3 separate projects where such counter examples exist: we had a rollback method, it was used once in a while, and we shipped changes to production multiple times a day using continuous delivery. At no point on these projects did the ability or use of roll back lead to some kind of hard-to-explain loss in delivery velocity. On the contrary, I suspect if that mechanism did not exist, several failures that were easy to get back to green would have turned into a toxic hellhole, and my team mates would have been much more fearful around shipping, which is the high order bit when it comes to velocity and embracing continuous delivery of small changes.

It also made sense when everything was HTTP 1.1, but that’s on the way out too.

Browsers throttled the number of requests per domain because parallelism was expensive for the servers. Loading from another domain could happen simultaneously. If you had a fast internet connection you’d see a reduction in page load time. You’d also see that to a lesser extent if your connection was shared with others.
