What I've often thought, although never been able to express elegantly, is that assuming all conventional views of reality are accurate, a person's consciousness has to perceive an image in a mirror that exists within oneself. The sensory inputs have to be assembled for observation.

That mirror is assumed to be accurate, if you aren't hallucinating, dreaming, drunk, or whatever. It must be part of the brain/nervous system, but normally separate from the self. So it seems to me that the visceral sense of God's presence (during religious experience, madness, or both) must be from the self feeling the presence of that part of the mind.

But then if there is something that creates reality within our head and is/is not ourselves, why not a second level - God that created (or creates from moment to moment) the universe? It's not that such a thing must exist, but it just seems like it would be symmetric if it did. And the mirror within provides the compelling feeling that there should be such a thing.

It sure does, but you haven't bought the private environment around your property and therefore should have no right to dictate its use by its actual owners.

If someone is doing you legitimate harm, like dumping toxic waste into your drinking water, then you have the public government than can dictate the rights in regard to private use on the toxic waste dumper on behalf of the public. Increasing housing supply in an area with high demand is not doing legitimate harm, it keeps housing affordable and is good for the environment vs. infinite sprawl.

The fact that Sails never caught on to match or exceed Rails usage doesn't mean the main problem was primarily performance. Rails, for one, has a huge incumbency advantage (2004). Second, Rails is just easier than throwing together a pile of NPM modules. Imagine if you had 0 knowledge of the NPM ecosystem. It'd be quite a lot of decision making to evaluate a basket of modules that could emulate all of what rails provides.

Hi all, I'm Jonathon, the maintainer of the Manifest repo. Thanks to whoever linked it here on Hacker News, I was wondering why it was get more attention that I expected...Appreciate the support and feedback thus far!
I think so, here is the article about it:

https://www.benkuhn.net/importtime
“Along with David Sloan Wilson, director of the evolutionary studies program at Binghamton University, and Ian MacDonald, a graduate assistant, they contacted more than 1,000 people living in 174 communities across the U.S. and Canada and asked them to rate their happiness level on the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), a globally recognized measurement tool. They compared these results to a widely cited 2008 study by the psychologists William Pavot and Ed Diener, which surveyed past studies that used the scale to analyze 31 disparate populations — including Dutch adults, French-Canadian university students and the Inuit of northern Greenland — and discovered that members of intentional communities scored higher than 30 of the 31 groups.“

A part of me always resisted the idea that these communities could work, but, this study is enough of a reason to make me a believer.
As someone who worked on a sizeable open source project, I sympathize with all of this. For me, part of growing as a person and making my own life easier were two things. First, to not hold everyone else to your own standards. That is, don't expect anything from anyone. Life gets a lot less disappointing that way. The other is to stop dwelling on what other people think. This one is hard, but if you can truly get there life gets a lot less stressing, programming included - you don't take such offense to the trolls. I think it's an unspoken part of aging and learning. You rarely see a shy old guy in the locker rooms.

All that said, as a complete aside, I have tremendous respect for Mr Gallant. Everything he writes is gold, and if you haven't yet, I'd recommend taking a look at his awesome open source projects.

In informal usage, "literally" is used to provide emphasis. Literally, in this context, doesn't mean literally true. It's a figure of speech.

Example: You might've heard a phrase like "I was literally blown away by the response I got" (probably from a vlogger). Nobody in English would say, "I was figuratively blown away by the response I got", because it's obvious the person is speaking figuratively.

Here, literally is meant to emphasize just how effective AWS is acting analogously to the Treasury's money printing presses.

Back in the early days of banner ads, a CSS-based approach to blocking was to target images by size. Since advertising revolved around specific standards of advertising "units" (effectively: sizes of images), those could be identified and blocked. That worked well, for a time.

This is ultimately whack-a-mole. For the past decade or so, point-of-origin based blockers have worked effectively, because that's how advertising networks have operated. If the ad targets start getting unified, we may have to switch to other signatures:

- Again, sizes of images or DOM elements.

- Content matching known hash signatures, or constant across multiple requests to a site (other than known branding elements / graphics).

- "Things that behave like ads behave" as defined by AI encoded into ad blockers.

- CSS / page elements. Perhaps applying whitelist rather than blacklist policies.

- User-defined element subtraction.

There's little in the history of online advertising that suggests users will simply give up.
True somewhat. That is what bothered me with this book. While the importance of Statistical Models is undeniable, i am not sure whether they are applicable everywhere. Nature has endowed us with certain heuristic decision making models (see the works of Gary Klein on RPDM) and many a time one can decide based on "gut feelings" (see the works of Gerd Gigerenzer).
By no means a summary of the article, but I liked these passages in particular:

On emotions:

> When I was a young adult, I'd pride myself on being “logical” and “free of emotional decision making.” Like all good lies we tell to ourselves, there's a kernel of truth to it. But for the most part, at least for me personally, I am a deeply emotional being.

> Emotions run deep and can be a really useful well to tap for intrinsic motivation. For example, for some time after ripgrep was released, I began to immediately hate touching the code that was responsible for printing search results. It was convoluted, buggy and difficult to change. While rewriting is a perfectly logical decision to make on purely technical grounds only, I was motivated to do it because I didn't like the way it made me feel. My emotion helped drive me to make things better for myself.

On communicating thoughtfully in order to communicate effectively:

> ...being thoughtful in one's communication is important to advance your cause. If you're thoughtless, even if you're correct, you risk working against your own ends because the person on the other end might not be able to look past your thoughtlessness.

On the fact that even the author can't and doesn't read every line of every dependency they pull in:

> ...As someone who uses FOSS and tries hard to be discriminating with the dependencies I use, it is just not possible for me to review every line of code I depend on. Even if I could somehow manage to read it all, I certainly wouldn't be able to understand it all in enough detail to be confident that it was doing what I thought it was doing.

MISRA and other such standards are great places to start thinking about reliability and safety. That said, I think there is a danger in believing that code which complies with a certain set of standards is safe. Attempting to bring non-safety code into compliance with MISRA may increase safety, but safety, like security, is something that needs to be designed in, both to the software and the overall system. Standards compliance is often just a CYA move to avoid legal and financial liability. Often, trying to make a codebase compliant with a standard like MISRA will reduce overall code quality as good software design practices take a backseat to compliance metrics and QA reports.
When I lived in New Zealand, there was a cellphone shop in Auckland that refused to warranty a Nexus 4 that broke (neither Google nor LG warranty this device, unless you buy it from the Google store). The shop refused to fix it because I had unlocked the bootloader and installed LineageOS. They then told me it would cost $12 to ship the phone back to me! People at work told me, "Don't let them get away with that. We have consumer protection laws."

I had to take them to a tribunal. It was like 2 hours for the first session, and they wanted a second one (another 1.5 hours). I made the argument that I can buy a Windows laptop and put Linux on it; showed stats how many people install Lineage, how the mobile data failed first, then the Wi-Fi, and then the phone refused to boot, which is an indication of hardware failure (not my software modifications).

I fucking hate that company. Hours wasted and the judge awarded me my $450.

What's really stupid? Why didn't Google/LG warranty the devices themselves? This should have been as simple as the company just shipping the device back to LG and shipping me a new one. Pushing the warranty down to the individual vendors to repair is fucking assassin.

In this case I mean OK form, not proper form since you are just thinking about moving a sandbag on the truck bed and not the angle of your back and where your weight is positioned over the knees. Weightlifters get bad injuries even if they know good form in and out, it only takes a small movement to fall out of form and seriously hurt yourself while lifting heavy weight and can happen under supervision, which you should have already in the form of a spotter for heavy lifts.

I can see how this idea may seem novel to people who never thought about it on their own or seen it in many other places, but the isomorphism between carbon based life and its higher level ecosystem is not new. It also blurs the line between life and systems that aren't alive... but you have to realize that "life" is just a loaded word that mostly describes carbon based nano-machines. The vagueness of the word "life" produces an illusion of the concept being "interesting" when it is actually we ourselves who made up the word. I can make up any arbitrary word and give it a vague definition but that only makes the word itself interesting not the concepts it describes. Yes there is a blurriness and conceptual interest between "life" and the "ecosystems" that surrounds it, but this is only a property of the word "life" not of the systems themselves which is basically just little nano machines increasingly interacting with each other to form larger macro structures.

The highest level stuff I've seen about this topic is the Gaia hypothesis. The creators of this theory managed to make it align with actual scientific theories but I think the very creation of this theory was caused by the same psychological trip up I described above. Yes life and ecosystem share an interesting isomorphism but again I repeat that the interesting part is really just a "linguistic" phenomenon.
> The issue I always had with Rails is that there would come a point where I would want to achieve something which wasn't really in the "blessed path" of a Rails application, and then I would end up with something that felt like a hack to circumvent Rails' default behavior.

As a Rails developer for over 10 years now, I definitely agree that going off the rails (see what I did there?) is nearly always painful. Especially if Rails doesn't totally click for you. I can see why that would drive a lot of people totally nuts.

I think that if Rails really clicks for you then it's possible find a way to solve those problems within the same sort of way of thinking that Rails is coming from. But not everyone works the same way, and that's ok!

> Also as far as the natural-language-like syntax, I find that Swift offers a similar benefit, with the added benefit of strong compile-time checks.

Life is short, if at all possible write code in whatever language makes you happy. If that's Swift for you, well then cheers!
No, that would be considered shockingly low. There are about 300 million cars in the US, and it's hard to find good statistics on cars breaking down, but AAA makes about 30 million service calls a year. So AAA alone gets the number to 10%, two orders of magnitude higher. (But I don't mean to exaggerate the difference - Facebook accounts must be significantly easier to keep running than cars.)

> Just because you bump a version number it doesn't mean you are forced to use all the bells and whistles.

But I want to use those features. I want memory safety and a way to say this variable owns the memory, vs that variable which is only borrowing it. I want move semantics in some cases and copy semantics in others. I want lambdas so I don't need to define new functions (or classes) to handle simple visitor patterns (or other cases where passing a 'function' makes sense).

These are good, useful features that I'd like to use to make my code more safe, more performant and more readable, and while C++ can do these things to some degree, there's boiler plate and new rules (rule of 5 vs rule of 3) and gotchas, compared to a language like Rust that has these things built in, with more safety and without compromising performance, and for me it made sense to start using it instead.

I still have projects in C++ that I'll maintain with modernish C++ rather than re-writing them, but for new things where I have a say in the matter, I'll choose Rust.

She comes up with an elegant social theory behind the nature of corruption.

We know on a certain level why people can be seduced by corruption, but she introduces a higher level concept that describes why entire civilizations can be corrupt.

The book is really short as her theory is quite elegantly explained in a short dialogue between intellectuals.
