This was an interesting post and it hit home, although not in a good way (because it caused me to reflect on my own instances of hating on individuals). Although I'm not sure reality is quite so simple -- take Trump's irrational hatred of Obama, with the whole 'birther' thing being an example of fomenting hater mobs against him. But he eventually succeeded at becoming the president himself. And he seems to have his own haters; I mean people who beyond rightly recognizing that he is a terrible president and need to spend all their waking hours on reddit's r/politics cracking jokes about the orange dude.

I am also reminded of Rene Girard's notion of a scapegoat mechanism - perhaps the object of people's irrational hate is a kind of scapegoat to those people

As I said, you need to agree there is a problem before we can talk about it productively. This is "being on the same page".

If there is a obvious problem that one side is steadfastly refusing to acknowledge and insists on blaming it on others, then yeah we have a schism in our society as one side is just ignoring reality.

>have one dependency that hasn't been updated to support Core and you can't upgrade and then you can't use anything new.

Can you give any examples?

Generally, .NET Standard aims to fix the problem. If you upgrade to .NET 4.8(or atleast .NET 4.7.2), you can use libraries targetting .NET Standard v2.0(and below)

So, new libraries can support both NET Framework. (Unless the authors don't want to Or can't)

It is not a perfect solution as library maintainers need to put effort into migrating to NET Standard. But if library authors have not done it by now, then perhaps you should use a different library

Ugh, this quote. If someone is working at a SWE at Facebook, their career options are probably pretty good. They can get a salary most anywhere.

Too often people use this quote as an intellectual shortcut to ‘I’m right, you’re wrong because your job blinds you to your bias’. Sometimes, they do just know more than you about it.

Commodore always sold far better in Europe than in the US, even for most of the 8-bit days, and they managed to totally burn their dealer network in the US in the early 80's and never recovered (the final straw was when Tramiel lowered the price of the C64 drastically overnight without warning dealers or offering refunds, leaving dealers with large stocks of C64's bought at the old wholesale price that they'd be unable to sell with much if any margin).

As a result Amiga sales in the US were small and driven by things like the Video Toaster on the high end where people for some time bought Amigas for the Video Toaster rather than the other way around, while sales in Europe were far higher volume and more focused on the low end models that there just wasn't a decent dealer network to handle in the US.
Indeed. When I was visiting the US, this was one of the prime reasons I used Uber over regular taxis.

In Uber I just added my destination and then I could decide if the price was acceptable to me or not. With a taxi you end up at your destination and pray the price isn't too bad.

How would you express the central point? Or is it the central point that you disagree with, or feel is "toxic"? (I dislike that word, because it's one of those words that has a tendency to shut down rational discussion).

On a certain level, I probably agree with you. The word 'loser' dehumanizes people by focusing on their lack of achievements that society cares about, and achievements or agency in their own life.

How do they feel about this state of things? Probably not so good. Why did this happen, and what can they do about it? Well, maybe they're stuck in a shitty situation due to a confluence of psychological or even medical factors that's largely outside of their control. Maybe they're deserving of a break, some sympathy or a helping hand.

But if a person (who might or might not be in this situation) happens to behave destructively towards others, it's possible to discuss that while still acknowledging the points above.

Maybe 'loser' and 'less than a man' is an insensitive way to express it, which is why I was asking how you would express the central point. I think that "Ignore the haters, they're just fanboys with the sign flipped and not important" is sound advice to someone who tries to keep their sanity while attempting to do something good under a massive amount of scrutiny and criticism (some founded, most unfounded).

I don't think we have to go so far to see examples of famous people that would have been much less stressed, had less problems and kept their focus if they'd been able to follow this advice in times of extreme stress. A couple of Elon Musk's famed Twitter episodes come to mind, if you're looking for examples.

Even though famous people are in a position of privilege, they're still humans and have to endure the same emotional reactions as the rest of us. Usually amplified, since they get such a massive amount of attention. I think it's valuable to give them some coping tips.

I simply don't buy new from Amazon anymore.

Second hand books is all I buy from there; everything else I ever buy online I need to be able to rely on, and I just can't rely on Amazon anymore. I can return it? I don't want to return it, I don't want to be the unpaid police of the Amazon clusterfuck, I want to receive what I ordered. I remember the last two things I bought from there, which were even marked as being sold by the actual manufacturer, came in boxes with spelling errors on. Must be that commingled inventory they maintain.

Fine. Nothing new from Amazon for me anymore. Just second hand books. Their new books are occasionally counterfeit, and often not actually cheaper than a more reliable supplier.

IIRC, MS require the device to support Secure Boot, but whether or not you can disable it or whether you can add other signing keys is undefined (and I have no idea what vendors do).

I don't quite get those arguments [1]:

> The single-file restriction is an effective save-guard against feature creep. [...] We are able reject pull requests simply because they would add too many lines or add too much complexity, and that's nice.

bottle.py is already 4425 lines of code [2].

So, despite they say they reject pull requests because they add too many lines, it's also can be said that they reject pull requests because file is too big already and merging PR makes it even harder to maintain.

> A single file is easier to debug and understand. [...] You can read the entirety of bottle.py in an hour or so. Most of it is pretty easy to understand. Try that with flask/pyramid/django [...]

Why not at least to just split it to 1 section per 1 file, which they emulate right now by using section-delimiting comments [3]? Will it make code much harder to understand? Or will it make code easier to understand?

Also, from a developer perspective, what about navigation to the correct section quickly. E.g. if developer wants to add a new Exception, how he can efficiently go to the specific section? If it wouldn't be single file, developer could jump to required file by typing couple of letters in fuzzy file opener it his editor of choice.

No one forces developers plunge into a feature creep apart from their own, and it actually doesn't matter is there a single file or not. Some prefer to write as many code as they can in one single line. I doubt that they do it to ease maintenance and to avoid feature creep.

"Reading through Reddit, someone asked what sites you can go to which are like Breitbart but to the left. One answer I thought was interesting was something like "all other news sites.""

This is only true from a very rightwing point of view. If you want a real left wing point of view, read actual left wing sites like www.wsws.org a real socialist site. They have not much in common with CNN.

In general, if I am interested in a certain topic I try to read both sides. Russia, China and co. have also english newspapers. Then I usually find out that both sides lie or disconnects facts from context to a point that I think I got a basic understanding of what happened, but are disgusted by all of it and leave.
I can give the cynical answer to that. Being correct is a lousy strategy for social creatures, and making the best decision within the limits of what a person knows is a nearly guaranteed way to lose out to someone who takes risks. In that context, realists are not encouraged by the broader society. Better to be surrounded by and encouraging of irrepressible optimists, they explore more and are more likely to try to change the world for the better because they don't understand the essential futility of it all.

Realists live humble, modest lives. Seek to change themselves themselves and such. Accept the futility of it all. Realistically the difference between comfortable and opulent is not as large as it is made out to be. The optimal strategy is to use an approach that is excessively risk tolerant and then hope that you are in the group of people that are lucky. Almost all the people who are 'winning at life' are using some variant of that, or descendants from someone who was.

> Why would a competent developer use this .h multiple times?

Transitivity.

When you include a header file, it might include other header files. There are no real restrictions on what other header files it might include, as they may be part of the implementation, rather than the interface. We see this particularly clearly in C++, where private members and member-functions must be declared in header files.

The header files included by a header file, may change across versions.

Obviously, we don't want to omit any of our #includes just because a library we use happens to include it. This wouldn't solve our problem anyway, though: different headers may overlap in the headers they include.

This means it must be safe to include a header several times (i.e. inclusion of a header file must be idempotent). Diligence isn't enough. Fortunately, it's trivial to do this with the 'header guard' pattern (#ifndef MY_HEADER_H...)
Wait, Uber uses fixed pricing in other countries? That sounds amazing. Here in The Netherlands, the actual price is usually 25% more than the top estimate Uber gives before the ride (they give a range).
Surely by now they can upgrade their estimate algorithm, given how many trips they can analyse.
I never used Bottle and don't doubt the comments saying it's a great framework, but I'm more interested on the "single file" approach in general.

bottle.py may be a single file but it's 4,425 lines long. That doesn't strike me as particularly simple. Any project could potentially be "a single file" if it's a very long file.

Why would splitting it into a few separate files make it more complex? There's a reason why every modern programming language supports modules, and that's precisely to break down complexity into smaller, simpler units.
Tons of embedded devices use files. For example digital cameras, network routers, and handheld GPS all use files as an explicit part of their setup, output, or operation.
A lot of embedded systems use file storage even while not having an OS.

A very cheap way to add storage to low volume productions is to add a microSD card. At that point it’s easier to go for something like FAT and work with that

I should write a treatise in every post :o)

I'm aware that people over-estimate their skill, I'd have been inclined to say "in the top 20%" otherwise, lol. Whilst my reaction time has slowed slightly, and my focus deteriorated a little with age (IMO), I've been driving cars for 25 years without an at fault collision (taxi driver hit me when I braked hard to avoid killing a dog -- we were sub 30mph otherwise I'd have chosen to hit the dog). Have avoided some accidents for sure. I also hold a full motorbike license, have driven minibuses and car&trailer pairs. I'm aged enough to have calmed down and having ridden motorbikes feel I've much more road awareness than the average driver.

Also, I considered head-ons, etc., where the injured party is not at fault - but whilst they increase the risk an experienced and competent drive can avoid some collisions, mitigate the harm of others, and will nonetheless reduce their chances of being in a collision from their side. If 50% of injured parties are the cause, and I can reduce that 50% by 50% then I've still reduced my chance of being injured by 25%.

Does anyone think that doesn't put me in the bottom 50% for risk?

Still, the point stands that I expect aeroplanes to be better maintained and have more redundant and fail-safe systems than a car; and expect pilots to be better trained and more competent (prevented from driving drugged/drunk/tired more than truck/car drivers, etc.) than the average car driver. So, aeroplanes only having the same per-mile safety as cars is [would be] terrible.
