> Writing software is not a neutral act. You are morally responsible for its uses.

That's an unsound argument - it suffers from a confusion of agency. The most I can be responsible for as an author is the intent of my software.

If I'm a wrench manufacturer, I have no moral obligation to attempt to control how people will use my wrenches. They are amoral tools with a good intent (to help with construction projects). Whether my wrenches or those projects will end up being used for evil is beyond my purview.

Mastering sed: diving into the find-and-replace lagoon
I understand where you're coming from, and I appreciate the constraints of embedded system design, but this is a pretty extreme scenario.

Management should seriously consider whether the 0.01c saved on that 8Mb chip is worth the design overhead from very tight constraints. There is most likely a pin-compatible 16Mb chip that would eliminate all the pain.

Yes, I know that in high volumes every fraction of a penny counts. But if you frequently find yourself engineering your way out of trivial constraints, you might be doing it wrong.

Is that from experience?

Generally all contractors say "the next guys will take care of that". For example, when framing you don't really care if the studs are really straight or if the walls are square. The "next guy" will take care of that.

True enough, when I was drywalling I had the builder come back to take care of some bowed studs that should never have been used.

I've also volunteered at Habitat for Humanity and can confirm that very little "accurate measuring and cutting" was occurring. They'd quickly measure some things, shout out numbers, and then use a circular saw to rough cut it out. But that was it - they didn't refine it after that and went about their merry way.

I have to believe that the accuracy of a foundation is more important but I think it's a fool's dream. They get "close" and they're checked out before the "next guy" has to fix it.

Meh - my Mom's iMac has the 2TB fusion drive and it works surprisingly well. When I dual boot it into bootcamp with Windows you can tell the SSD caching is not there; it's pretty obvious. Sticking a 32GB SSD (formatted NTFS) and dedicating it to readyboost helps a bit, but it's still no where near as effective as fusion under Mac OS. Obviously being pure SSD would be better, but when she got it almost five years ago that much SSD - even third party - would have been cost prohibitive and it's still pretty expensive to get 2TB as all SSD.

Upgrading RAM is much easier than upgrading storage, since storage is stateful and backups are never quite right.
If Microsoft wrote a proprietary extension to emacs that was so compelling many would consider it to be the "best" feature, I think devs would complain. Emacs is way more FOSS than VScode claims to be, so that would be an even worse affront to the philosophy of the editor and community. Maybe you're right about the JetBrains products, but to my knowledge they don't market themselves as open-source to the extent that VScode does.
Yes, I know I'm preaching the choir here. My point is that with each advance in technology, established industry "actors" panic because they foresee their business will go bankrupt. Sometimes this panic is justified, but often it's not, or it's blown out of proportion.

It's not necessarily the law, either. Panicky industry heavyweights may lobby to make it a law, or try to confuse a given tech with copyright infringement, but "downloading videos" is not against the law.
Not really, most of the bundles are pretty small, in the 30/40Kb range gzipped, even smaller with brotli, the problem is when the user has to wait 5s to start using the site, waiting half a second to load the first page is ok, waiting a quarter second to open other page is also ok.

It isn't purely about speed, it is about perception, a very slow first page load is way more annoying that a couple half or quarter second loads distributed over a long interaction, after the js is cached all is nearly instantaneous, but you don't have to wait a while to start using the site in your first visit.

If you want you can also wait for the first page to download completely and them import the remaining js while the user is on the first page, but I didn't tried to see how well it works.
How to read code: the next generation
I don't think we are talking past each other, I think we're having a debate as to whether or not methods of replication have some impact on whether or not two things are identical, and therefore have the same value.

Imagine a simple single-celled organism. It is well-suited for its environment and so forth. It reproduces asexually without error. Now, it isn't terribly bright, it hasn't developed PCR or anything, it hasn't had a Watson or a Crick, so it doesn't "know" its source code, but it has definitely replicated and done so to produce an identical copy. I'm not even sure what truthfulness means in this context, but I can confidently say that identical things have the same value, and therefore the offspring organism not not less than the original.

The "in such a way" has an impact in the way you're viewing it, and to me, I do not understand that. Identical is identical. I don't have any other way of looking at that. If the "in such a way" does have some kind of effect, then they are not identical and you can hardly say that the AGI has self-replicated.

Can your AGI "quine out" a copy of itself or not? Can I look at the two programs on disc and perform a binary comparison to prove that they are byte-per-byte identical?

I struggle to see how we cannot convert to mixed use - even before covid I would look in wonder at giant towers being thrown up in the City of London and think who on earth will be using then in ten years time?

We have always accepted it but most city "centres" are hugely discriminated towards adults of working age - just walk around and count the ratio of kids and mothers.

I remember a photo innLondon zoo of the first exhibit of some gorilla in the early 1900s - it was a sea of men wearing hats. We have reduced the list of people not "allowed out" and let women and children out a bit but we have still got a long way to go to have "walkable communities".

We need better balance -
Beyond Meat 2Q 2020 Earnings Results
I used to do everything myself. Then I got a job far from family. I can no longer call a dozen family members with different skills to help on any project. I do things alone, which means it takes more than 12 times longer. Plus I miss the excuse to get together with the family often when called to help someone else out.

I still do things myself, but I'm more and more looking to just hire the bigger things done. I know how to do it, and probably would do it better. But I don't have the time.

> Navy Seals talk about that being tired is just an emotion like feeling happy. Its all about your mindset.

But it isn't really. Even taking that statement at face value you're still talking about people who are selected for their physical skills and then spend much of their prime training and preparing physically like their lives depended on it. Because it does. But they suck at many other things and they do have an excuse to not be able to do them.

One person cannot "specialize" in too many things and downhill extreme mountain biking is not a thing to do half-assed without risking your well-being. Getting the skill and the physical strength to do it is both time consuming but more importantly very risky.

But the RAM is trivial to upgrade. Why not just do it yourself for half the price?
Very impressive. One cool thing you can further do to improve perceived speed potentially at the expense of some bandwidth is to begin to preload pages when a link is hovered. There are a couple of libraries that will do this for you.

It can shave 100 - 200 ms off the perceived load time, and since your site is already near or below that threshold it might end up feeling like you showed the page before anyone even asked for it.

Sure, but that's not necessarily a useful way of looking at the overnight rate in this case. Annualized interest rates are useful when you're looking at the value of an investment changing over time; but in this case the nature of the investment is changing -- because the critical property "can be delivered to close a contract today" is satisfied by today-lira but is not satisfied by tomorrow-lira.

> Wouldn’t it be better to have the user have the control?

It would, but the user has no control of the walled garden either. It's a situation where both the user and the author have little to no control, as well as poor feedback.

I'm not sure walled gardens, with their arbitrary rules, and opaque audit and review processes (which include not knowing how detailed their reviews are), are really a trusty safeguard against malicious authors. Whether you believe walled gardens protect you from malware depends on your definition of "malware".

It's not true that without the App Store there's a world of dangers out there. Author reputation goes a long way.

It's weird how restricted the choices are on SSDs too. The $1800 model is stuck at 256GB, the $2000 model lets you do 512/1TB/2TB, and the $2300 model adds options for 4TB/8TB.

Like, this has to be a totally artificial restriction. I'd much rather buy the cheap one with a bigger SSD, but instead I'm stuck paying hundreds of dollars extra for features I don't care about.

Do you find yourself actually moving up and down the channels, and not through the guide to somewhere else entirely different than where you once where? My first move if I'm switching channels is to go to the guide, not to a channel one above or below my current channel.

I suppose it could run on the previous channel, but it certainly can't guess my next channel.
