I've spent a good deal of time on this subject. In my opinion, this article did little to nothing and the parent here is a very valid critique. The argument it made is basically "We can't accept determinism, but hey, it's not true because there might be quantum randomness."

I think it's important to highlight something here - history is fraught with people on both sides of "this is random" and "this is predictable in this way" being wrong. I would not be surprised to find that further research in physics over centuries ends up showing what we currently see as "randomness" is simply a very complicated system. Even if you are able to rest bigger arguments on top of quantum randomness, it's not exactly a sturdy base coming from the bleeding edge of physics.

It's also very common among in the community of this debate to get bogged down in the theoretical and not look back to the very real applications of free will concepts in the world. Many of the distinctions they make are not really useful for humans, and they haven't realized even the most basic parts of the arguments can have radical societal effects.
Thanks Kalid. I remember exchanging messages with you.

OS/400, the operating system of the IBM AS/400, has a really consistent pattern to its command names. The format is VERB+NOUN where VERB is a small list of verb abbreviations (ADD=Add,CFG=Configure,CHG=Change,CPY=Copy,CRT=Create,DEL=Delete,DSP=Display,RMV=Remove,STR=Start,WRK=Work With) and likewise there are abbreviations for the type of object the command acts on. So CRTPF=Create Physical File, CRTLIB=Create Library, CRTUSRPRF=Create User Profile, etc.

(OS/400 was later renamed i5/OS, and then renamed again to IBM i. Likewise, AS/400 was renamed iSeries, then System i, and then merged with System p–successor of the RS/6000–to become POWER Systems. But, I prefer IBM's original product names–OS/400 is a far more distinctive name for an operating system called "IBM i", which promotes confusion with Cisco IOS and Apple iOS.)
When has the economy ever "broken down"?
We paid $30k for it (but I guess that was a steal, so we lucked out on this one).
As of commit cb20372465f875ff4fbf2a04f0951430207f7b7a, according to tokei, in all of fuchsia there are 792k lines of C, 880k lines of C header, 1.711M lines of C++, 10k lines of C++ header, and 2.585M lines of Rust. In the zircon subdir, there are 569k lines of C, 300k lines of C header and 473k lines of C++.
Even in languages where the concepts can be encoded, it can be hard to determine what aspects of a given library are the encoding and which parts are the fundamental ideas if you haven't seen the ideas used in well-suited language. For instance, I didn't really understand the use of functools.reduce[0] or itertools.starmap[1] in Python until I was familiar with zipWith[2] and foldl [3] in Haskell.

The ideas themselves are not particularly complicated, but I hadn't previously worked with abstractions where the default was to operate on whole data structures rather than on individual elements, so I didn't see how you would set up your program to make those functions useful. In addition, for abstract higher-order functions, type signatures help a lot for understanding how the function operates. I found `functools.reduce(function, iterable, initializer)` significantly more opaque than `foldl :: (b -> a -> b) -> b -> [a] -> b` because the type signature makes it clear what sort of functions are suitable for use as the first argument.

It's now easy for me to use the same abstractions in any language that provides it because I only have to learn the particular encoding of this very general idea. While I couldn't figure out why functools.reduce was useful or desirable, I couldn't figure out many parts of C++'s standard template library at all. But if you already know the core concepts and the general way that C++ uses iterators and the fact that functools.reduce, Data.Foldable.foldl, and std::accumulate[4] are all basically doing the same thing for the same reasons is a lot more readily apparent.

The error is universalism. Neither mindset you're describing is appropriate to be given a universal "should" status, people have differing preferences. Some rather enjoy having their work be a big part if not the primary part of their life. Plus there are many nice things which benefit everyone that wouldn't exist if the people who brought them about had just treated their jobs as jobs. Maybe some think those things shouldn't exist, but you'll never convince the creators of that.

Where America still shines is you can for the most part still go with either mindset as you prefer. Even in SV tech where there's so much "dream job" this and other such talk, BigCos are nevertheless packed full of employees for whom it's just a job. But there are the occasional rather devoted employees who put in much more than 40 hours (not to mention the fudgey to account for time where you're thinking about work topics in the shower, at dinner, before bed...) and that's fine, it can make a nice mix. Now if you start down the socialist path of promoting a universal policy, and there are many (like limiting work hours) that could support making things easier for the just-a-job mentality, what you're actually doing is eliminating an option people prefer, and a huge source of innovation along with it.

I agree.

I think this gives ethicists the task of accepting deterministic reality the way it's always been, and developing a moral framework that is in harmony with that reality. Morals can still exist without the principle of free will, just like they can exist without God dictating a list of 10 commandments. Murder can still be wrong without free will, just like it can still be wrong without God saying so.

I don't know how the infrastructure was before docker was introduced, but for me it made things more miserable. Build times are longer, if you work on OS X it eats up battery and causes it to heat up (because on OS X it runs inside of VM). Makes things so much harder each time you make change you have to rebuild it to run it, unless you do some tricks that aren't always possible in all languages. You can do development inside of a docker, but that also has its own issues, primarily you can't use your fancy IDE.
Can you offer any evidence about the truth or falsity of the specific claims in the article? Or does it just "smell fishy"? The former is enlightening; the latter is based solely on circumstantial evidence and suggests bias.

Well, I'm not quite sure what the philosophical difference would be between the "donate now" buttons with the green meter showing yearly donations, and a formal "crowdfunding campaign"?

What China Sees in Gone with the Wind
I think that mobile devices haven't taken as much time away from desktop computing as they have from other areas of life, like watching sitcoms, or talking on the phone.

Those were spans of time that desktop computing never usurped - despite trying - and at some point all the growth was mobile, and yes, to your point, that's absolutely mostly Linux via Android.

At least on my case a lot of my time on mobile is communication apps and reading things like HN. Desktop time is of course work, but also personal planning and more complex personal tasks.
Free will is inescapable. Without it, you have no ability to assign moral blame, which means law and order become impossible. If someone punches you in the face unprovoked, you are just as responsible for putting your face where his fist was going to be. Thus, there's no justification for your attacker to be rehabilitated rather than you, an innocent victim.

Your issue is not with free will, but with retributive justice, ie. the argument that moral blame deserves punishment.

Thank you.

I didn't mean it that way. Luck plays a huge role in success. But a back story will help explain why I said what I said.

Even in 2009, VWO wasn't my first attempt at a startup. Eve since I read Founders at Work in high school, I was inspired to do a startup of my own. So when I entered college in 2004, I immediately went about trying to do startups. Over the four years, I did 3 different startups (Kroomsa, MyJugaad.in, Precimark) and all of them failed. Then I launched Wingify (precursor to VWO) and that also didn't fly. Finally, my fifth attempt was VWO which led to this.

So, from my own experience, it seems luck is a function of how many shots you take and how much you learn from those failures.

I absolutely believe that the asymptotic result of being relentlessly resourceful is success (of some reasonable degree).

> I find it difficult to write in a lucid way.

So does everyone. It's like with "clean code" - no-one can write clean code. You write dirty code and keep editing it until it's clean. It's easy to see someone else's 20th draft and think you can't write as good as them. Neither can they.

It's like everything, you're bad when you start doing it, and you get better at it as you do more of it.

> Even after rereading and editing my docs multiple times I am not happy with the outcome.

How many times is "multiple times"? Doesn't sound like too many. A few dozen times wouldn't be unusual among writers. i.e. Editing every day for a month.

> In fact I fall into dilemma on which of my edited drafts should I choose as final version.

So just have one version. If a change doesn't make a sentence better, don't make that change. Sure, sometimes you can't decide which of 2 versions of (say) a sentence is better. So choose the simpler, the one with less words, the less show-offy one, the more direct. Also, put it aside for a few days or a week or two and read again. Choices like that will be obvious again after you get some time-distance.

Don't mean to undermine this guy's screen-scraping adventure... but if you want to use something that will tell you all the streaming services that have the list of movies, you can use:

https://letterboxd.com/dvideostor/list/roger-eberts-great-mo...

You can look at each movie to see what streaming service it's on one at a time for free.

If you have a pro paid account, you can even do:

https://letterboxd.com/dvideostor/list/roger-eberts-great-mo...

Which shows that there are 39 movies in Amazon Prime US from Ebert's "Great Movies," not 21 like this guy's spreadsheet says.

To be fair, the exercise was to scrape the reference sources... so it might just need some refinement.

Need to double check though if both lists are correct, only confirmed number totals.

Full disclosure: That letterboxd list is not mine, I just found it
James Baldwin’s Tour of Black San Francisco in “Take This Hammer”
Sort of. Things like USB, which past 1.0 has only one controller per generation, released the current controller design in 2010 with the first chipsets on the market in 2011. So that at least is less of a moving target than it once was.

But, I mean, NVMe follows on SATA much like SATA followed on IDE, so on that front things are not so different. And for WiFi, there is not a common device interface for that, so each new generation of hardware from each manufacturer requires a large chunk of new driver code. Haiku reuses FreeBSD's WiFi drivers and 802.11 layer, but as you can see, they are having a hard time keeping up (only recently was one developer hired part-time to work on it, I believe.)

So, it's kind of a wash, really -- on x86 commodity PC hardware, that is. Part of the reason Haiku on ARM still has not taken off is how wildly diverse that ecosystem is, especially how much of a moving target it is.

I can compare the value of incorporating this into my worldview if it is true, against the harm of incorporating it if it isn't true. If it's true, it doesn't tell me anything new or inform my opinions in any helpful way. If it's false, it needlessly entrenches my already strong feelings on the matter and gives me a charged, bad data point.

I'm automatically suspicious of anything that plays too perfectly into whatever my emotions want me to believe. I don't see any downside to discarding this one, suspect data point among many other, less-suspect ones.

I think it's a pretty good analogy. I was experiencing a personal paradox of mine for over a year and no amount of writing or thinking about it helped. Then after a single experience with weed, the next day I was able to piece things together and resolve this paradox. It's been about 9 months since and the solution still holds up to my own scrutiny. I believe this would not have been possible without the weed. It's funny how a single day can help you resolve something that bothered you for hundreds of days.
Q&A with John Carmack (1999)
Thanks for the summary, this makes it easier to address his other points.

You already see the issue with constraints -- which is why our reality is a bottom-up one, but with the appearance of top-down rules.

The point that if determinism is true all texts are encoded, also applies to any other organized information, e.g. human DNA. If books can only be thought of as the product of human free will, and not just natural law, then equally, DNA must be credited to something's free will. But what? Does evolution have free will?

No, I think they're both the outcomes of natural processes. We can still build legal systems of copyright on top of that though, and claim credit for those works.

(As for where the data comes from if not the Schrodinger equation -- that problem also has a simple solution, which is that we're on the leaf of a widely branching tree, and the data is seeded by the index of our branching history).
I guess you can always load only the index in the browser, isn't it?
Would you like to pay now (compile time) or later (runtime)?

We have ways of dealing with scaling of runtime in production (develop infrastructure environment).

There's no way I know to speed up the edit/compile/run loop during development.
I don't know why there's no good way to know what's streaming on a certain service. Seems like the only way is through third party sites that are probably made up of people manually adding to the list.

If everyone is going to make their own streaming service then there needs to be a standard interface to make them collectively easier to use. A "guide", if you will.
Panasonic 12V battery drill from the days when NiMH batteries were a new exciting upgrade! Form factor the same and I could use the new batteries in my old drill. But when that drill started to fail I cut the handle/battery mount off to use in my bike lights (I still have that part... does that count?)

On that note: remember when rechargeable bike lights took 10-12 hours to charge? Using drill batteries with a 1 hour charge was revolutionary, especially for overnight bike races.

The H-1B is both non-immigrant and dual-intent. This may seem contradictory, but it's not.

Non-immigrant means literally that: getting it doesn't make you an immigrant. In that way it's similar to a business/tourist or student visa.

Dual-intent means basically "you may pursue immigrant status without negative effects". This is not the case for a business/tourist or student visa. If a consular or CBP officer believes you intend to immigrate when applying for either of those visas, they can deny you.

It's meaningful in the same way that the illusion of free will is meaningful. It provides a lense through which to view the world.

For instance, take a heinous crime and assess it first through the lense of free will, and then swap in a deterministic universe and watch the criminals become victims.
