iTunes offers purchasable music. And it could be argued a better deal for consumers who only listen to 100 songs or less a year. Market doesn’t want it. It is inconvenient to force people to go through a checkout flow for every song they want to listen to.

People always forget that storage and distribution of music is a relatively new concept and a new revenue channel for musicians. When did records become main stream? And how old is music? Technology gave artists a means to sell their work besides live performances. Technology also makes the market more efficient which leads to the costs being drive down. Physical media has been replaced with digital media. Physical stores replaced with digital marketplaces.

Without Spotify or other streaming services , piracy would be even more rampant with the ability of people to transfer 1000s of songs between other people in a matter of seconds. Only way to fight it is to lock down the devices which public doesn’t want and would require the government intervention.
Good points and fair enough!

I guess my point was that it's kind of a false dichotomy, in that you can have happiness from work, and sadness from relationships as well. But I think also they are inter-related, in that good relationships can bring about more meaningful work (job opportunities, people you can learn from, etc.) and good work can lead to relationships (people you meet at work, through work, customers, etc.)

While you say that coworkers are considered a bit differently, I think that also depends on the type of job. In high pressure jobs, I think you are absolutely correct, but in some of the more "soul-crushing" jobs that you mention, the coworkers are the best part. I think some of the best coworker relationships I had were when I was making pizzas.

People / relationships can also move on themselves (moving, death, other changes), so those aren't permanent either.

Do you consider parenthood and learning as work towards good?

Do you think subsidizing everyone including "lazy" or stagnant people would have a net benefit if it reduced the amount of violence, crime, and suffering? Or do you not factor that type of balance into your reasoning?
I do not believe in this over-simplification. However, the point about going to debt for those degrees is a question specific to US at this point in time.

We should talk about free college education or heavily subsidized one, but this same group here has been heavily against these ideas because they are socialist. However, happiest countries in the world seems to be mostly social democratic[1] and for one, if possible, I will happily trade my US pay for a lower pay, less worried life.

On a side note, I have a feeling that US prefers a "dog eat dog world" because everyone here thinks they will be the ones doing the eating and caring for the underdog is a sign of weakness/waste of resources.

Apple didn't part ways with Intel and IBM because they were difficult to work with. They parted ways because Intel and IBM fell behind in performance.

I think you are missing my point–I believe free high school education is the U.S. is better than no free high school education, so why would free higher ed not be better as well?

"The pursuit of achievement distracts from the deeply ordinary activities and relationships that make life meaningful."

Obviously if they value achievement more, then that's what's more meaningful to them. Not sure how anybody can define what's meaningful in general for everybody. And meaning changes with time - what's meaningful today, may not be tomorrow.

Kids are definitely engaging in meaningful and interesting ways on TikTok. It would be an incredible overgeneralization to say otherwise. Is there a bunch of crap on there too? Sure, but you can write off the internet with the same logic. Crap is also fun, which has some value too.

It would be convenient if there was a database of cancelled people so those people could go on with their lives and operate outside cancel culture.

For example, there could be institutions of higher learning that required applicants to demonstrate evidence of having been cancelled. Such institutions might be more effective at producing novel and useful scientific ideas (as opposed to theories of biological sex, for example).

I wonder if there should be an age limit for being cancelled. If a 10 year old dresses as Thomas Jefferson for a school Halloween event, it might be good to give them a pass until they are 18 when they can make a better informed choice about whether they want to join the cancel culture or the resistance.

> "- Many countries have enacted policies to increase proportion of people who get degrees. Far from fixing inequality, this has instead diluted the value of university degrees."

no, what it's done is uncover the hypocrisy of the meritocracy underlying western narrative--when university degrees were exclusive to the upper class white guys, degrees exhibited a "meritocratic distinction". naturally, only smart and capable people got degrees, not just people in a fiercely-defended and exclusive club.

but when educational attainment became more wide-spread and democratic, the club moved on and abandoned the university degree as a useful in-group signal. economic value was with in-group membership, not in the degree itself, a decidedly unmeritocratic, and unequal, system.

it's made this relationship more apparent, elucidating why inequality has persisted despite wider degree attainment.
If someone was going to steal company info for a competitor, they’d do it before they gave notice that they were leaving. And they wouldn’t tell their current employer where they were going.

This might catch extraordinarily stupid people from conducting industrial espionage, but really I see it as the company encouraging people to not give any notice at all (which, remember, is just a courtesy) when they quit. It’s shortsighted on the company’s part.
For electronic music producers the barrier is definitely lower and releasing one EP every other month is not uncommon. I listen to an artist that has released hundreds of songs this year alone (God's Warrior, check his Spotify or SoundCloud if you don't believe me). Every song is of incredibly high standard as well.
I would say it's equivalent to opening all email attachments in a VM, as there is a sandbox these things run in. That's security-wise though.

Yep. And whilst the balance of who holds the social capital in which circles and which views they consider beyond the pale changes, it's not a new phenomenon and seldom a one-sided one.

The author of the article is, after all, trying to use his social capital to, in his own words, argue that 'children are put at risk of long-term harm if they are indoctrinated with ideologically torqued misinformation about their bodies and behavior' if exposed to arguments which compete with his own. No doubt he believes this as sincerely as many of his opponents believe that his own arguments [and related arguments] are 'dangerous' to the psychological wellbeing of transpeople, but this is not a debate where the silencing and accusations of abuse and bigotry has taken place on one side only.
In my opinion, a big thing many developers forget, especially those that are obsessed with design patterns and code rules, is that simple machines to solve complex problems are actually harder to design than convoluted ones. Leave a designer to their own devices, they immediately start spitting out way to many levels of indirection, it takes real thought to collapse those levels of indirection to something simple. Many less-experinced devs think that if they keep slapping on more layers, hide the problem more, more abstraction, they will reach some sort of inception-like base-case nirvana where the complex problem will magically become simple. But they are running the wrong directions. Simple, powerful, abstractions that make great tools great are generally pretty thin. They don't mask the actual problem, instead they provide good hand holds on it. C is a decent abstraction of assembly because it simplifies it, not because it hides it. All that being said, OOP, like many patterns, is perfectly fine if it makes a good abstraction. There is no one great pattern to rule them all.
I believe most states will charge a 17yo as and adult. Not sure what the feds would do.
The best thing I can say about OOP is that it allows for private state that only certain logic is allowed to know about. In some cases, you just really need that.

But I think the biggest problem with OOP is that it encourages a spirit of "eager complication". Take getters/setters as a classic example. Occasionally that pattern can be useful, but standard practice in Java is to never ever create a simple public field. You always create a private field, with a getter and setter, under the assumption that later you'll need to put some special logic in there.

We can't just create some plain functions, we need a Helper Class™. We can't just pass in a function's dependencies as arguments, we need Dependency Injection™. We can't just use a union type, we need a Visitor Pattern™.

I think some of these habits were built in a world before certain simplifying language features were widely available (union types in particular are only recently entering the mainstream). Programmers were traumatized by the limitations of Java and the ensuing complexity of their projects, causing them to enter future projects already bracing for the worst. Simplicity is assumed to be impossible, so you just go ahead and barricade the windows with some up-front complexity in hopes of flattening the exponential complexity curve down the line.

But the world has changed since then. There's a reason multi-paradigm languages are becoming so popular: because implementing real projects without creating out-of-control complexity requires having a wide range of tools at your disposal. In this new world, I think it's really important that some of these patterns get unlearned.

I'll leave you with this Paul Graham post from 2002 about OOP Design Patterns: http://www.paulgraham.com/icad.html

> When I see patterns in my programs, I consider it a sign of trouble. The shape of a program should reflect only the problem it needs to solve. Any other regularity in the code is a sign, to me at least, that I'm using abstractions that aren't powerful enough-- often that I'm generating by hand the expansions of some macro that I need to write.

I am at the point where I like to move my fingers minimally and with very low force required. I have an Apple wireless keyboard and I love the switches. Even my 2018 15" MBP is great.

I also desperately need a split keyboard. But these are dealbreakers:

* Requires me to learn a different finger pattern than the Apple keyboard (even ones with the Fn where "the control should be" are a problem for my muscle memory). I use the MBP too.

* Requires a lot of vertical movement, i.e. big deeply depressed keys

* Tall keys that require my wrists to hold my fingers in the air, or for my wrists to lay on supports which put all the weight on my wrists instead of my arms.

I have a Kenesis Freestyle for Mac, and I don't use it for these reasons, even though it relaxes my wrists rotation around the vertical axis.

That essay was hilarious. The bit about how painters have figured out the most efficient and lucrative way to sit around staring at naked woman all day is a perfect example of the self-deprecating braggadocio that every man who writes a blog seems to be trying to achieve.
As somebody who really enjoys the enter key position, I've found I struggle to go back to standard layouts. Having a thumb cluster with more important keys makes far more sense than having thumbs that effectively only press spacebar or cmd/super. The keyboard wasn't designed with programmers in mind, or web browsers. Ergonomically, moving a few keys around makes sense, even at the expense of a bit of muscle memory.

For what it's worth, you'll eventually have complete muscle memory and be able to switch back and forth without even thinking. It's liberating to try out different layouts and see what ends up making sense for you over time.

This title is not the title of the study.

"Associations of regular glucosamine use with all-cause and cause-specific mortality: a large prospective cohort study"

This does not mean it reduces all cause mortality. This is correlation, not causation.

To take this further, there might be no limit to what you could correlate to some degree with all-cause mortality, especially since it might be heavily correlated to financial status, which would correlate to an enormous amount of other behaviors (eating avocados, owning a swimming pool, having a high ceiling, having your own bathroom, having a gym membership, organic food, name brand laundry soap, not taking public transportation, better healthy insurance, smoking habits, coffee quality, living in a low crime area, etc etc). Determining cause and effect takes a lot of control variables.

It's much more advantageous to be able to respin/redesign parts of the GPU for a new architecture since the user interface is at a much much higher level compared to a CPU. They basically only have to certify that it'll be API compatible at CUDA/OpenCL/Vulkan/OpenGL/DirectX level and no more. All of those APIs specify that the drivers are responsible for turning it into the hardware language, so every program is already re-compiled for any new hardware. This does lead to tiny rendering differences in the end (it shouldn't but it frequently does, due to bug fixes and rounding changes). So because they aren't required to keep that architectural similarity anymore, they're free to change as they need new features or come up with better designs (frequently to allow more SIMD/MIMD style stuff, and greater memory bandwidth utilization). I doubt they really change all that much between two generations, but they change enough that exact compatibility isn't really worth working at.

If you want to look at some historical examples where this wasn't quite the case, look at the old 3DFX VooDoo series. They did add features but they kept compatibility to the point where even up to a VooDoo 5 would work with software that only supported the VooDoo 1. (n.b. This is based on my memory of the era, i could be wrong). They had other business problems, but it meant that adding completely new features and changes in Glide (their API) was more difficult.

Well, probably because that's not what is happening.

The US has the right to ban companies from the country (as do other countries). What the US is saying is that the parent company (Bytedance) bust divest Tik Tok or they'll lose access to the US market. Microsoft is interested in it, but it could be a different company buying it. This is different than "you must sell this company to this other company" because the US can't force a foreign entity to do that (as long as that foreign government doesn't also cooperate due to politics of soft power reasons). In the case of China, Bytedance can absolutely refuse to sell Tik Tok, it'll just get banned from operating in the United States. Surely they'd rather take a few billion dollars instead, which is why they are going to sell it.

Actions like this or ones that are similar in spirit happen quite often. And naturally if you look at China, well, frankly, they are getting a taste of their own medicine in some sense.

Guilds reflect the societies they are in. Society had more bigotry in the past, and so did the various institutions within it.

Also, it's weird that you call out guilds for being discriminatory but then give an example of discrimination in employment. We have fair employment laws to prevent this type of behavior and arguably could have "fair guild membership" laws if it became a problem.

It's fair to argue against guilds for driving up prices by limiting membership.

I think that there are two groups that try to claim OOP.

One is the Alan Kay camp, which usually defines OOP as primarily message passing, with Smalltalk as a beacon of what they consider good code. This is a very vocal group, but I think that it is extremely obscure in the industry.

The other group is mostly focused on SOLID and design patterns. I would say that Java's Swing is a good example of a usable library based on this style of code, inheritance-heavy but still principled.

I believe that this style of code is most reliant on garbage collection to actually be reasonable. Otherwise, you end up caring about ownership for every little object and it rapidly becomes a nightmare. I believe your banana/gorilla/jungle problem is related to this mostly.

For myself, I do believe that implementation inheritance is usually to be avoided, but I think that other OOP concepts, such as encapsulation and interface-style extensibility, using constructors to establish invariants, are frequently useful, especially in the high-level architecture of a program or module. I do prefer some kind of support for sum types and multiple dispatch, rather than traditional virtual dispatch.
