Money is made up in all cases. It's an abstraction of relative demand. Even if governments abandoned fiat money, they could still pull money from thin air.

Mostly because governments use violence to change the relative price of anything. If a government made owning a gold coin or a bitcoin a crime punishable by death, I think its buying power would go down. Similarly, by forcing citizens to pay taxes in a specified currency at the threat of jail time, a new currency is created.

It's made up all the way down.
We already have a lot of scientific knowledge about how fires burn that we can apply to firefighting, so this is a non problem.
You are forgetting forces to overcome effects which are independent of mass. For example, you might find that your car is blown off the road by a light breeze.

It looks like Germany put lockdown measures in place about a week earlier than France, Belgium or the Netherlands, if you compare the number of deaths at the time the mesures were enforced.

Getting a lockdown in place a week earlier mathematically translates in a 4x reduction in deaths a few weeks later, which is more or less what we see when comparing France and Germany.

Likewise the UK enforced the lockdown a few days later than France (proportionally to the state of the pendemic at the time of the measures), more or less like Spain. Looks like they are both heading towards 30k or 40k deaths until the pendemic gets under control. A few days really matter when you're fighting a pendemic that double in size every 3 days.
> I firmly believe that every developer should spend 2-3 weeks early in their career working with nothing but SQL. It will pay huge dividends for the rest of it.

I did this (actually for longer), but it always washes away.

One challenge for me is I don't see an incentive to learn complex SQL setups unless absolutely necessary. Since I tend to work at startups, development velocity is way more important than optimized codebases. I'd rather write the "dumb" solution that nearly every engineer can grok than the "elegant" solution that goes above people's heads.

That aggregate function, yes, I know I can do it 100% in SQL. However, it's much easier for me to selectively pull parts into memory and modify them with language tools I work with everyday. When the junior needs to modify that function, they can do it with tools they're most familiar with.
A makefile works great when you have a pile of source files and you want to make a parallel pile of output files, and each source file is compiled individually. It's not so great when you have a compilation process where you have a folder of entrypoint source files that each need their own output artifacts produced but they happen to share many dependencies, and you want to automatically create common output chunks if there's enough overlap between them, etc. I'm sure you could find a way to involve Make by automatically generating makefiles, but at that point, Make is only handling the really easy part and isn't worth it.

Think of how many makefiles just end with one big linker call. Most web toolchains (which crunch a lot of source files into a few artifacts) have more in common with that linker call than the rest of the stuff that happens in a makefile. You have to have a system that's more integrated with what's being built to make that step meaningfully incremental.
You're 100% right so long as disease pandemics and other disruptive events are discounted.

And I think in a board room in 2019 you could do that, you could say it makes no sense to hedge against a disease pandemic, those never happen. It makes no sense to optimise for locality when we can get cheap labour on the far side of the globe and disruption won't happen.

But the trouble is that when you make that presentation in 2021 every single person in the room knows it isn't true, they all lived through this, they saw it themselves.

Usually the next argument is the one you already brought up - but labour costs in the US are too high. But a robot factory doesn't incur labour costs as I explained.
>indigenous: they're Purepecha

Some of them. Most of the community is mestizo. And their ethnicity has literally nothing to do with it at all. It isn't an indigenous movement, it is a community protecting itself. Do you think the non-Purepecha residents don't count? That they were not part of this action?

>all the news coverage points out that the initial uprising was initiated by women.

No, plenty of news coverage is factual. You're just looking at the "news" that is trying to use it as a feminism story.

>anti-colonial: outsiders of a different ethnic background

The outsiders have the same mix of ethnic backgrounds the community does.

>Before the government didn't take us [women] into account

Notice how the word that is necessary to make that sentence mean what you want was inserted by the "journalist", not said by the person being quoted? "Before the government didn't take us [the people] into account..."

>It doesn't "suddenly occur", it was always there

It has never been there. There are actually several anthropology texts on the Purepecha, they were never matriarchal or anything remotely resembling it. Nor were the Spanish, although there's not much in anthropological studies on them.

In practice, little-endian machines have the first bit field in the least-significant bits of the data type they fit into (usually but not always an int), and big-endian machines have the first bit field in the most-significant bits.
I agree with you, but I also want to say it's often more complicated then this.

Like, the Apple Watch example seems easy, but what happened to FitBit? FitBit went all in on your idea. Picked a single use case with a market, delivered on it. Yet Apple swooped in, took the market from them. Why is that?

This is an open question, I don't claim to have the answer. It just seems that in this case, Apple was promising, as opposed to FitBit, that it would bring much more use cases to the user, a smartwatch on your wrist really, that seems like it was the messaging at least.
Regular office visits don't cost much to provide.

They are sort of like paying to fix chips in windshields, if you want an analogy.

(The actual billed cost for those sorts of visits is ~$100, which doesn't add up very fast compared to ER visits or any sort of complex care)
There are even open protocols used in the wild. SunnyHome has it working for example for using your local solar electricity.
My experience is that MIPS and ARM licensing are equally bad.

As an anecdote, I have personally switched a MIPS core to an ARM core in an SoC revision specifically because ARM gave us better licensing terms than MIPS. It was a pain because MIPS big endian and ARM big endian are not directly compatible with each other.
Well I don't think most people these days are interacting with assembly by hand-writing programs. The real users of ISAs now are compiler authors, and the simpler and regular languages seem better for them. So is there some other reason (other than inertia) that RISC isn't practical?

JPEG can be made almost as resilient as an uncompressed format by adding in restart markers.

Restart markers duplicate the JPEG headers within the file, at however many intervals you like, so the bitstream can be, well, restarted, limiting the effect of any corruption.

`jpegtran` can insert them losslessly.
You need more than scientific knowledge in order to make policy, you also need a quality metric against which to measure the desirability of outcomes. Science can tell you what is likely to happen if you pursue a certain policy, but it cannot tell you if that outcome is good or bad, or more to the point, whether the tradeoffs inherent in any complex policy decisions are worthwhile.
The more common and realistic attack is anti cheat software and DRM. They are functionally identical to rootkits/spyware in that they install themselves as kernel drivers and monitor literally everything you do (sometimes when the game is not even running) to work out if you are cheating/attempting to crack the game. And we have no idea if they are limiting themselves to just that, they could be selling your browsing history on the side as well.

The DRM is super invasive as well, A lot of wine developers have to deal with denuvo repeatedly banning them as well as one user reporting that they were banned from valorant after plugging in their phone to charge it.
My brother is an ER doc in a well-known facility, and he says this covid thing is freaking the everliving shit out of the front-line medical profession. This virus is just not behaving like a normal disease should.

The doctors who have been around long enough say that the feeling in the hospitals is just like the early days of AIDS. All you knew is that patients were dying from a disease that doesn't follow any of the normal rules, and nobody's sure why, and all the healthcare workers are nervous AF that they're going to get it too, but everyone is trying to be brave because the patients and family are scared out of their minds, and calm needs to start somewhere, right?

> There is clearly no evidence that stricter measures have any effect. If that was true, then there should at least be a linear correlation between strictness of measures vs. excess deaths, and that's simply not the case.

What? No, timing of measures is critical here. [0] The same exact strictness of measures, implemented a week later, can cause 4x more deaths (total, and thus per capita too) merely because of the delay.

Yes, English and Danish authorities should absolutely be terrified that they waited to long to act, just as the Swedish authorities should be.

There's nothing much that's CISC-like about ARM, MIPS or RISC-V. Even many μC architectures are closer to "RISC" than "CISC", though there's at least some room for exceptions there.
> So on a command like 'find' on Linux, you probably always want -xdev in addition to -P.

No, why? A default of -P is fine but a default of -xdev would mean you couldn't search everything like find / ...

edit: Not sure where you got "physical" hierarchy. Here is the debian explanation of -P:

-P Never follow symbolic links. This is the default behaviour. When find examines or prints information a file,
and the file is a symbolic link, the information used shall be taken from the properties of the symbolic link
itself.

How much is the speed issue related to the language used? I know Hugo is an order of magnitude faster than most static site generators for example - it's written in Go with e.g. 2 seconds to generate about 10K pages https://forestry.io/blog/hugo-vs-jekyll-benchmark/.

I would have thought the generation process could be massively parallelised and a typical blog page would only need a modest amount of computation e.g. concat header, footer, pull in body text, resolve a few URLs. I can't help but think about how much work a typical computer game is doing in comparison 60 times per second even without a GPU.
That's a great example.

There is a museum near the Acropolis where they put a glass floor in and you can look down and see the ruins they've uncovered.

It's really remarkable. Buildings from the past were demolished and new buildings were built on top. It's interesting to look around and realize that you're walking over 30 ft worth of ruins everywhere.

There's a nearly identical issue in LLVM [1]. So neither are currently able to handle ADCX/ADOX in their IR and can only support it through inline assembly.

I was hoping LLVM could maybe bypass this IR limitation for the iXYZ types and generate the optimal instruction sequence, but from your assembly it looks like that doesn't happen either.

Yup. I first learned this from Donald Norman's Design of Everyday Things. Try to apply that heuristic to all my efforts.
Also curious is the case of Pebble. Great product, priced right, small set of customers who swore by it, did one thing really really well. Now its dead.
People really didn't like that comment.

Imagine your boss was running this program. You're in a regulated industry, so he's forced to ask another team to pick the budget and the basic design... though the majority are actually his guys. His job is to keep sending it back with fixes until he's confident enough to put his name on it. It's just a design, so his job then switches to putting together the team to run the project and then actually running it.

The first project ended up giving the wrong people tons of money and then running out of funds. He's free to propose something else, but if he doesn't have any real ideas, the board tells him to try to at least get this right. He's seen what other orgs have done, but rather try this again..
Hm, the linked video is a bit underwhelming considering all the hype that this secret mechanic had. The "polaroid effect" prototype that i saw some time ago is much closer to what i'd expect the game to be (and IMO has way more gameplay applications, though it can also be easy to break):

Honestly, i expected something a bit more involved than copy/pasting and scaling objects. And even then, this old ldjam game (Tale of Scale) does it better IMO:

Clever retort. But even if proven true somehow is it the religion that made the bad do good or agreed upon ethics with consequences for those who broke them? Must it include belief in some unprovable future consequence?

> I expect a competent developer to be able to build a modern multi-page web application, with a HTML/JS front end, relational database back end, appropriately configured certificates and DNS/CNAME/URL, build basic uptime and application monitoring and do a basic SQL ETL data retrieval process.

What does all that have to do with OP's assertion that expecting application developers to understand that nuances of DB's listed in the article is noble, but unrealistic? A "competent developer" could fulfill your requirements and still not understand the implications of time drift or how to scale horizontally or other deep topics. Applications developers are the hub to many spokes, but expecting them to have deep knowledge across all technologies is unrealistic just as it is to expect a DBA to have a deep understanding of how a certain application framework works.
You mean Android One?

Those only have 3 years of "guaranteed" monthly security updates since first release of phone.

In practice, though, Nokia's delivery is delayed and much less frequent than monthly (I've got a Nokia 7.1).

OnePlus delivers security updates 3-9 months after the pixel, at least on the 7 pro (their flagship from last year).

These promises are simply not being kept.

FWIW, the original iPhone SE is still getting updates, and was released 4 years ago.

I’m loving TailwindUI components and pages. Worth every single penny! The use of utility class CSS to make full pages and parts is awesome and such a joy to use.
It seems to me like the disagreement here comes down to the difference between “good” and “good enough”. For a lot of habitual, daily life type skills like driving, good enough is usually fine. You don’t need to be Senna to commute in a 5 speed. Most people are middling/mediocre drivers, and that’s okay!

At the same time, I’ll submit that any competent manual driver should be able to sit in the passenger seat and diagnose when a learner is popping the clutch, lugging the engine, etc. If someone can’t, their own driving is probably faulty in ways they aren’t aware of.
> the literature is in near agreement on this topic. New ideas come mostly from recombining old ideas.

Absolutely. Not just in literature/arts but science as well. The ideas of atoms, physics, etc are a "rehash" of ancient greek ideas. Though obviously not the same, but there is no doubt that the study of pre-socratics influenced science.

> New Ideas also come from new technologies.

Even more true. Everything from the invention of letters, numbers to telescopes and microscopes led to new ideas, new arts and new sciences.

Also, another major component is wealth. Research, new ideas, etc require wealth so that you have the time and resources to pursue and expand on these ideas. Ancient greece was a wealthy slave owning society which allowed them the freedom to pursue noble ideas rather than slaving away to make ends meet. This is where we get the idea of "liberal" education. Liberal here doesn't mean the education is free, but rather education is for those who are free ( aka wealth slave owners ). Wealth frees you from life's mundane tasks. It's also why every major civilization or flourishing of knowledge/ideas always was preceded by immense wealth ( america, ancient greece, mesotopamia, ancient egypt, italian renaissance, the englightment, etc ). People mistakenly assume you get knowledge and then wealth, but historically, it's always been the other way around. You get wealthy first and then you pursue knowledge.
I don’t think it’s a language issue. Even for JavaScript bundlers you have the slow extensible bundle and the “new super fast bundler” that dies in a month because it only fits one use case.

400 miles isn't that far. It's approximately the distance from Minneapolis, MN to Milwaukee, WI, which is a trip that I've done nonstop. It takes around 5.5 hours, which isn't too bad. Start around noon and arrive just a little before dinner.

Minneapolis to Chicago is a bit longer (a little over 400 miles), and takes about 6 hours. For that I'd probably need to stop somewhere to eat.

I remember people I used to work with arguing against stored procedures for two main reasons.

1) Version Control - I guess a lot of the stored procedures were being put straight into the DB without recording a history of the changes. These days you could easily do this using DB migrations I guess.

2) Testing - is unit testing a thing for Stored Procedures? I guess again, you might be able to do this from code as well programatically adding a stored procedure, running a bunch of tests and removing it again.

I do wonder - what do people generally do in practice for overcoming these objections?
Does anyone have any other objections around using stored procedures?
