Side point. Just because a government is in power doesn't mean they are responsible for the economy doing well. Often the previous policies take time to take hold more so global trends are driving this. What happened after 2007 the housing crisis.. in part made by government policy spanning decades in part because of foreign influence through global markets.

There is a third route. You can add a try catch and then throw a more detailed exception (or otherwise automatically surface the issue while not degrading the user experience) showing the context of what failed, then fo attempt to fix a poorly understood bug for which you may have an incomplete set of reproduction circumstances for.

The best solution is, as always, context and resource dependant.

I agree - and your point actually reinforces mine: your 50$ translates into 10$ of the authors utility bill. They probably need it more than you do.

I don’t know why an author would get into such a unbalanced commercial relationship with a publisher, but it’s common for this to happen, and at the end of the day, it was their choice: Price tag is 50$. Let’s not use fake morality high ground to continue stealing from the original author.

If you don’t like the current publishing industry or cannot afford the price tag: just don’t buy it, choose another cheaper book, or try a Public library or learn by experience and write your own free book...

And types can’t represent the properties shown by tests. Type checking as typically applied only catches the simple problems of feeding the wrong argument into a function.

>>>such as those in churches and clubs.

Churches and Clubs are generally voluntary organizations on chooses to join, and can leave. Thus can not be classified as a government

I have no choice but to interact with the government and should I choose not to said government will put me in a cage and/or use violence against me to compel my activity,

I am aware of this history, and almost universally it has lead to suffering, tyranny, and oppression

>>>However, any process can become harmful if it is allowed to run without limits or safeguards.

It is often governments and the legal system to provide the avenue of these abuses. Limiting liability, and shielding corporations via layers of liability shields, caps and other regulations

The difference is if you try to make a website yourself and you screw it up you're out a few hours and maybe a few tens of dollars at most. There's also very little you can do wrong that can't be fixed or undone later.

>I can't help the feeling that your post is about Python vs Java rather than static vs dynamic.

Because the OP was about python and because python and java are the two languages where I have worked on refactorings of large scale code bases.

I can't help but feel that if you make a hypothesis (e.g. "static typing is naturally better"), you need to be open to examples that disprove this hypothesis.

>And I don't see how your 3 points about the velocity thing are affected by static types..

Static typing usually means a lot of time spent satisfying the compiler. I don't disagree that this can be useful because it catches bugs (although a lot of stuff caught by compilers are not bugs). I disagree that this isn't a cost/benefit trade off that naturally works out.
I would suggest you first think about what you want (financial, recognition, etc.) and then have a conversation with the company about it. As you point out, the company has an incentive to keep you happy! So, start with a discussion here.

I personally believe that going to a lawyer at this stage is 1) expensive and 2) unnecessarily confrontational. I understand the argument about understanding your legal options, but at the point where you start to rely on the law, you're entering a contentious negotiation which can be unpleasant and expensive for everyone.

So I'd just say "Hey, Employer, I've put in a lot of my personal time into this project. So I think it's fair that if you want it that I should be recognized in a concrete tangible way since clearly you want it because it adds more value to the business."

And I think depending on the kind of company you work for, I'd ask for additional equity in the company (since you'd be making the company more valuable) plus additional cash (because you were working on this project night-and-day) and some sort of recognition would all be reasonable asks.

You are underestimating how seriously difficult some bugs can be to diagnose. I've seen super difficult bugs in large complex systems take over a month of dedicated effort to solve, despite the eventual fix being only a few lines long. That's the kind of bug where you take dozens of pages of notes as you puzzle through figuring it out. And this is at Google, with smart engineers. As the old saying goes, it's knowing where the problem is that's hard.
The condescension isn't really coming from the democratic party. Mostly it's from their allies in the press. The democratic party probably knows what the problem is, but doesn't really know how to deal with it.
You have it wrong. In many cases poor people are better served by voting for lower taxes, cheaper products, maintaining the status quo so there factory job can stay a little longer. It might mean dropping union protections because it makes there state more investable. In the auto sector jobs shifted to southern states without unions.
>people can value something different than you (less government intervention, less restrictions on speech, lower taxes) for fundamental reasons different than yours //

You're right, but in the election run-up people living on minimum wage, who complained we needed a change because of the rich getting too rich, also were convinced that Labour's tax increases were a devastating blow to them personally; tax increases that a family of two well-paid professionals would be unlikely to even be affected by.

The reason they hate those taxes is not because they're bad for them, they would undoubtedly be benefited. Nor is it because they actually have a financial basis for a belief in lower taxes for the extraordinarily well off. It's a matter of advertising -- the private press splash an advert "Marxist Money Madness" or whatever and tell the people they're going to be hit by massive tax increases costing taxpayers 1000s.

Of course it's a carefully tailored half-truth. It does cost taxpayers _who_are_affected_ thousands but people on gross wages below £80k aren't. The message the minimum wage, or benefits only, households get is "if Labour get in we will have to pay thousands more tax" (which to them is a lot, despite the tax rises not actually applying to them). They also don't appear to realise taxes pay for running the country; things they benefit from (health, education, roads, trade relations, ...) or if they do that reducing taxes won't just make these things cheaper but mean they have to pay individually (and pay a profit to capitalists as part of that deal). If they do realise these things there's no rational reason for then to support them; really there isn't, not for the vast majority of the populous.

Many people can't do basic percentages, they genuinely just trust the headlines.

The BBC have failed in refusing to call out lies because that would be "targeted" at one particular party (apparently 80% of their Facebook posts were factually flawed) because they are the ones telling the lies.

And why? Well look at the headlines post-election many Tories made many hundreds of £millions. Everyone else is working on inputs to value creation and they're playing the system and walking away with all the value.

In short, yes, there are genuine differences in political opinion. But there is also a massive deficit of understanding too.
they don’t want someone like you deciding what’s good for them and forcing it down their throats

But they're happy with other people deciding what's good for them; people who've decided that what's good for them is to be poorer and sicker?

If they could be tricked into becoming richer and healthier, without realising they're doing it by voting for commie socialism or whatever scare label is in vogue, is that wrong? Is there some morality there, like life is an art project.

Seriously; is that wrong? Is it more wrong to tell people what will make them richer and healthier, or to let them be poorer and sicker?

If it really is that scary, the world deserves that you should break the NDA and describe what you saw.
> > The reality is that people can value something different than you (less government intervention, less restrictions on speech, lower taxes)

> Why do you assume we don't value those things? Isn't that _you_ being condescending now?

If you assume people do share the values, or if you assume they do not, you are still assuming to know their values. Better to just ask the person and start the conversation from there rather than shut down debate with something along the lines of "You'd agree with me if you weren't misled by X".
Is it? I think it's fairly uncommon to use types to enforce correct units in calculations, and you need a pretty sophisticated type system to be able to do it.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea, just that it's not really a core application of type systems in real-world programming practice.

I think a lot of java's "bureaucracy" is simply duct tape around its badly constructed type system.

Oh for sure, but I find it easy to start dialing up python's safety from day one of starting on a project (e.g. start writing asserts), no matter how complicated.

Working around java's horrible type system? Less easy.

Our energy hungry industries are building nuclear with their own money. And even with the delays of olkiluoto 3 they want to build more (but are having a hard time getting the permit).

TVO Teollisuuden voima (heavy industries power) is the company that built, operators and owns half of the nuclear plants in Finland (one of the owners of TVO owns the rest)

If they can get the financing from private markets to build more I say let them. None of the current/future plants were built with government money outside of them being the backer for the insurance.

The oldest programs I can use reliably are win32 inside wine.

It may not be what you think is technically the best, but office 2007 works well and many games and other specialized too. The office license is cheap and does most of what I need.

Someone mentionned below, a perpetual license of Mathematica for MacOSX will be useless in a year, because of the deprecation. Their mistake was not buying the Windows version.

That's why I still buy win32 software to this day. Their binaries will work on anything for a long time.
But others remained unaware of the invisible dangers around them: soldiers lounged in the sun close to the reactor, smoking cigarettes and stripped to the waist in the summer heat; a group of KGB officers arrived in the zone incognito, clad in tank crew overalls and carrying expensive Japanese-made dosimeters—but approached the ruins of Unit Four without knowing enough to turn the devices on. Only the fate of the crows that had come to scavenge from the debris but stayed too long—and whose irradiated carcasses now littered the area around the plant—provided any visible warning of the costs of ignorance.

In 1973 Ford made a cost-benefit analysis for the Pinto after it was revealed that it tended to catch fire extremely quickly after rear-end collisions. Ford concluded that paying victim's families after a deadly crash was cheaper than redesigning the car. So they kept it the way it was.

From 2000 to 2010 Toyota used cheap materials in their cars that made cars accelerate and crash. It's estimated that 89 people died due to this in the US alone.

Your blind believe in "the market" is simply wrong. Without regulatory oversight, this might never have come to light and you would still see Toyotas running into barriers or Fords burning after an accident. Just you wouldn't actually know about it because it's relatively rare.

That assumes the attacker knows it's a five word password, and that there are no misspellings, and that these are specifically English dictionary words in dictionary form, how you're capitalizing it, and whether or not you snuck a number or an exclamation mark in the middle. Might as well know your password at this point..

I would make the same quoted statement, but mainly because of misinformation.

I do NOT think people understand what their parties are telling them because both sides lie dramatically.

Democrats do not present realistic plans with costs on their social programs, and Republican media and politicians typically say the exact opposite of what the real plan is. I used to love their smaller government push until they touted cutting public services to save 40 million as a huge victory for the budget while giving Lockheed et. al. A billion dollar contracts... So smaller government, sure, but NOT balancing a budget as it was claiming to try for.

So if you subscribe to partizan political sources, both parties only feed you information that support their party line, and the facts are elsewhere, if they are even available. Presidents keep breaking all promises they make on the trail.
Condescension and correctness are largely orthogonal axes.
It’s not an either/or. Both types and tests help, for different reasons.

For programming in the large, both should be used. In the long run it’s about saving time that is otherwise wasted on wolf-fencing and hair-pulling; and in getting new developers up to speed faster.
They probably use PRN codes with low self correlation.
I'm somewhat surprised by how many people are focusing only on who owns the IP.

You are now in a negotiation, and so "what can I ask for" is largely determined by "what is the BATNA,"[1] i.e. what happens if you and your company fail to reach a mutually acceptable compromise and start acting purely in your own respective self-interests.

This will partly come down to legal issues (can the company take over the IP from you), but for an open source company, I would speculate that reputational issues from a "hostile takeover" of another OSS project could change the calculus substantially. If the company takes over the project by force, and you publicize the fact that they did this via the IP clause of your employment contract (which most developers regard as somewhat evil), that doesn't seem fun for their PR team. Even worse if you'd be able to fork the project.

Of course, this depends a lot on the details of your situation, so you should definitely find someone to talk through the details with who is good at negotiating. Just not sure if a lawyer is the best/only person to talk to.

I'm curious as to what the argument actually is against the idea that it is perfectly reasonable to value Bach and JK Rowling's Harry Potter with the latter having more "value" than the former. What argument do aestheticians put forth to say that my judgement is incorrect, or worse, than that of the Bach scholar?

It seems to me that the challenge for the "objective" theory of aesthetics is pretty much the same as the one for moral realism. Yes, the fact that people disagree about artistic value doesn't mean that artistic value is subjective - but I'm yet to be convinced that it's objective in any meaningful sense. In the end, though, you're right about disagreement over political systems (despite some attempts to do away with political relativism, e.g. Badiou) - but only because different people have different, mutually exclusive, visions of what society is and should be, and the methods to get there. The arguments you're talking about in politics only have any meaning once at least one set goal is agreed upon - e.g. human freedom. But I struggle to think of any such goal that the Bach scholar and the Harry Potter fan are going to agree on.

I think there's a reason why even die-hard Adorno "fans" have given up trying to argue why jazz music is so bad.

When someone can think up an argument to convince a Harry Potter fan that they should really judge Bach's music as more beautiful, pleasing, of higher artistic value etc. than Harry Potter, then I'm curious.
