You're absolutely right. Extensibility and minimizing cognitive overhead are imperative.

What I found through my experience is that offering many hooks for extensibility sometimes increased cognitive overhead for the team. With so many ways to accomplish a given task, no agreement on how to do it, and no guiding conventions, moving from one part of a repo to another can entail nontrivial cognitive overhead. Moving to a different project with a different collection of extensibility approaches employed for the minimal cognitive overhead of those authors sometimes compounds the problems. I've seen developers do things that were easy, obvious, and extensible to them but utterly incomprehensible for everyone else. Having the freedom to compose libraries as they saw fit may have made it more likely.

Compare to Rails. For all its many, many warts and often exceptionally opinionated quirks, it's often relatively easy to move a junior or mid-level dev from one part of the codebase to another. Or one team to another. Or even one company to another. Many of the conventions are the same and the standards largely match, making onboarding easier. This can also make it easier for a random dev to predict how the system might be extended for a given task, easing maintenance over time.

I think the core tradeoff here is between what minimizes overhead and cognitive costs for an individual and what is optimal for an organization. Also, I ran into issues with Clojure teams composing their own stacks and forgetting things like basic security measures of the sort that mature, pre-fab frameworks like Rails build in by default. They minimized the surface area so hard that they maximized the ignorance they exposed, producing services that couldn't be bothered use CSRF tokens because the developers had never heard of them.

Again, I think you're right. It's about extensibility and cognitive overhead. I've just found there to be some nuance to what approach provides the best outcomes. I don't particularly enjoy being bossed around by a bucket of bits that tells me how I'm allowed to express my wishes, but I've found that my emotional experience of it isn't the important thing.
What I look for is behavior rather than verbal feedback. I know where I have hit spots in the presentation. If they don't react, then they are not as strong as I thought. If they react negatively, I know I didn't explain them well.

> that people want home values to go up but home prices to go down

People want _house_ values to go up, but _home_ prices to go down. And those are two different things.

If it's your home, who cares how other people value it. Lesser price is better.

If it's a house that you don't consider home, then you only want to sell it for what you can.

Personally I think home-owners > house-flippers and that laws should reflect that.

It's way past time for an Amazon boycott. This blog post makes the case without saying the word. But even here on HN there's a long history of complaints about fraud on Amazon: fake reviews, fake products, and little to no action by Amazon. And they show they have the power to take corrective action when something happens they don't actually like, while standing idly by when they don't care. The actions, and lack thereof, are what matter.

I really wish people would stop thinking of their primary home as an investment. It's not. It's a liability. It requires maintenance and upkeep and does not generate revenue.

Unfortunately, since -- as you point out -- a home is nearly always a family's largest expense and often also largest store of value, people distort what it means to them financially and expect their home to appreciate in value well above and beyond inflation.

When you take out a mortgage to buy a home, you shouldn't have any preconceived notions about whether or not you'll be "underwater" at some point in the future. And really, it does not matter one bit if you're underwater. Unless something has also happened to your income stream, you just keep paying it, as you should. The borrowed money doesn't somehow magically become less money just because conditions have changed and your home's market value has dropped. The downside is, of course, that you may not be able to sell the house and move away until you've paid off more of your mortgage. But that's a risk you take when you sign that paperwork up front.

The home-as-investment thing is fairly uncommon in the world and seems to mainly be a US thing. I wish it would die, as it should. It only serves to distort the market, and fuels ever-increasing home prices, which makes it continually harder for the average family to own their own home, further increasing institutional ownership.

The press gets a bad name a lot of the time, especially by those who are in positions of power and who are subject to the press, but the reality is that a lot of the press and many journalists do incredible work that shed light on various stories that might go unnoticed if it was not for journalism and the press. Obviously there are bad actors that degrade what the press does or stands and those actors usually are louder and get put in the spotlight but there are so many incredible journalists that really do uphold the intended role of the press; to inform, criticize, and stimulate debate. I’m glad that parts of the press, those who really do hold up journalistic integrity and care about their work/role, are recognized especially in the current state of the world where the press, even good actors, are often blamed or criticized for doing their job and are somehow framed as the “bad guy.”

I'm no fan of the TouchBar but once I rearranged it to my liking with BetterTouchTool[0], at least it's out of my way and has a modicum of usefulness.

The Escape key is the one key that even BTT didn't fix… because accidentally hitting the key does actions. I like to rest the fingers of my left hand around the upper-left corner of the keyboard, relying on touch. And triggering the escape key without pressing has been very annoying.

So seeing Apple bring back the hardware escape key fixes most of my gripes. The other improvement I'd like to see is force-touch on the touchbar. That would require some pressing in order to prevent triggering actions by simply brushing the fingers.

Thank you for the links, but I am unconvinced. Your medium link claims that to decide between a function and a variable declaration in the given program, the compiler has to solve an instance of the Post Correspondence Problem (which is undecidable). However, this does not mean that the grammar is not context-free! Context-free languages are closed under union [0] so a context-free grammar (CFG) is perfectly happy with an ambiguity like 'a variable declaration or a function declaration'.

Also, you can use an ambiguous CFG to parse a language: when the parser needs to choose between two productions, you cheat a bit and look at some external context for help. The grammar being used is still context-free though, even though the terminology becomes confusing.

For instance, the ISO C99 standard provides a grammar that is context-free but ambiguous. One of the conflicts involves the `typedef` keyword:

typedef-name: identifier
primary-expression: identifier

One way to solve the ambiguity is to look at the symbol table to determine whether the underlying identifier has been declared as a `typedef` previously.

IMO, Walter Bright should talk about "unambiguous grammar" instead of "context-free grammar" when he is criticizing the above situation, because it seems to me to be the proper terminology.

As for C++, I have never implemented a C++ front-end (and I hope I'll never have to). However, it looks like the C++ standard specifies an ambiguous context-free grammar, whose ambiguities must be resolved outside the parser. That solving the ambiguities may require solving instances of the Post Correspondence Problem does not change the fact that the grammar is context-free if it is. On the other hand, I fully expect lots of hidden horrors in that standard, hence my question.

It's these strange ways that COVID is changing our economy that make me very bearish long-term on the economy. Businesses around here can reopen legally but many are choosing to stay closed.

> Everyone knows that the most secure computer is one that you never turn on

An attacker might gain physical access to your turned-off computer and wreck all sorts of mayhem (install a hardware keylogger, rip the hard drive out and recover stuff from it, etc). The most secure computer is the one that doesn't exist.

If it's actually writing the data into disk first, then it's probably won't solve my problem (limited disk i/o). Afaik writing to pipe won't result in saving the data to disk temporarily. I guess the only way to know is to try it out on my system and see how it performs.
