Sorry -- I get what you're saying, and we run into the problem that "different" can be a pretty vague term. 100% agreed that when thinking about measurable traits and bell curves, most people are pretty similar. (I'm not sure as of writing this, but I wonder if there are any human traits which do not have a normal distribution?)

When a pop-psychology article makes an overly-broad generalization, I suspect you can encounter a few reasons for this:

- The majority of people fit the trend described in the article, however the raw number of people in the minority is large enough a very large number of people feel the article does not accurately describe them.

- Alternately, the basic premise may be too broad to be meaningful. Imagine two introverted people -- do they think of themselves a similar? Maybe one likes sports, and the other video games. Or one is a rock climber, while one a computer programmer. Whatever. They may not define themselves as similar, even though they both share the trait of introversion. As noted in my original post, what's missing here is the nuance. If instead this article was a dry scientific paper about "measurable specific traits and the similarity in parents and children with regard to mate choice" (or something like this) then we would avoid this problem.

I have a broken bootstrap template that I've recycled for over half a decade to make landing pages for new products.

It's always funny when junior developers come to support the product and balk at the code.

(OP here) The argument I tried make in the article was twofold:

1) You read waaaay more than you use. So only summarizing what you're about to use in a project takes less time total. (and even then, it's just highlighting passages)

2) The best system is the one you stick with. Yeah, in an ideal world I'd be summarizing my readings right as I'm reading it (clearly I have time to spare in those moments). I tried to do that for a while. But I just couldn't stick with it. It felt too much like homework. It was a chore. The motivation wasn't there. This PARA based system is one I can actually stick with

Is Unity Danish anymore? I mean, it got started in Copenhagen and its founder is Danish but that's the extent of it.

I don't think people say Basecamp is a Danish company just because DHH is Danish.

Not trying to poke holes at your statement. Just genuinely curious on what determines where a company is from. In my book, headquarters location is the baseline.
An interesting concern is that there often is no single piece
of code that has produced the results of a given paper.

Often it is a mixture of different (and evolving) versions of
different scripts and programs, with manual steps in between.
Often one starts the calculation with one version of the code,
identifies edge cases where it is slow or inaccurate, develops
it further while the calculations are running, does the next
step (or re-does a previous one) with the new version, possibly
modifying intermediate results manually to fit the structure of
the new code, and so on -- the process it interactive, and not
trivially repeatable.

So the set of code one has at the end is not the code the results
were obtained with: it is just the code with the latest edge case
fixed. Is it able to reproduce the parts of the results that were
obtained before it was written? One hopes so, but given that
advanced research may take months of computer time and machines
with high memory/disk/CPU/GPU/network speed requirements only
available in a given lab -- it is not at all easy to verify.
All other video conferencing solutions suck! Somehow Zoom figured out how to solve feedback/echo elimination, audio latency, video latency, and video quality.

It can't be overstated! They won over with sheer quality. I suffered through evaluating several video conferencing products over a few month period, and Zoom was the only one that worked properly.

Having followed this space for some time, Unity made huge strides at the beginning but has become notorious for punishing shiny features while leaving things broken or half-supported, which makes the developer’s life hard if you happen to run into one of those bugs. Closed source means you’re stuck writing ugly workarounds.

My impression was that you can bootstrap some incredible stuff in Unity, but demanding kinds of games will push you into its uglier corners and leave you at the mercy of its updating schedule.

This is very different from Unreal, or even Godot, which have their own trade offs. But it seems to me like there is enough of a “mid market” for all of them to coexist.

That's not what the article says. The part about PYTHONPATH comes later and points to a different issue.

When you run a script, the location of the script is added to the path.

# cat > /tmp/test.py
import sys
print(sys.path)
^D
# /usr/bin/python /tmp/test.py
['/private/tmp', .....]

And when you don't, the current directory is added to the path.

# cd /tmp
# /usr/bin/python

React supporting selective hydration would potentially be a total game changer.

I have recently started using gatsby-plugin-no-javascript. It's a very crude version by removing hydration at the page level. It works pretty well for me because my site is a ton of static pages and then one very interactive app page. I get to build it all in React, get a great developer experience, and then all those static pages are like 20k total (css, images, html, everything) and load in the browser instantaneously.

If we could get this ability, but be able to apply it at a finer granularity than pages, we could probably do some really great things.

They are disclosing information that must be disclosed before conducting the initial public offering (e.g. making their stock available for purchase to you and others in the public).

> not using React nowadays is actually harder than using it

For a solo dev, the only thing React makes simpler is dealing with JS that has to manipulate a lot of HTML. If your app doesn't do that (IDK if nomadlist does or not), then React is overkill and unnecessary. Even if you want reusable components, for many simple usecases the React lifecycle is complex and unnecessary.

I have not looked up the numbers, but would guess wealth inequality is a big part of it. Those houses were built for people who were richer, and they had people working for them who were poorer, than is common nowadays in the west.
How long does this process usually take?
I have spent the last year trying to open up a cafe and small space where I could build custom motorcycles. I think on paper it is the kind of project that people would say brings life to a city but the city I live in seems like they have designed their zoning laws to be as stacked as possible against someone like me opening up a business that does not fit a cookie cutter mold of some other existing business, at least not without hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay lawyers and architects.The building I want to use could be moved into tomorrow without a penny of changes.

I had a realization while going through the process that this is the thing that causes our cities to be so drastically inferior to european cities which were designed before zoning laws were in vogue.

I get that I don't want a power plant or steel forge next to my house, but that's not what we are talking about here. I can't put a cafe (literally an espresso machine and a few tables and chairs) in a structure in residential neighborhood without a huge investment in lawyers and architects and likely installing 70k worth of elevators and a 30k sprinkler system in a two story 3k sqft building and even then, if a single person on the review board dislikes the project on a whim, it's out.

And then surprise surprise, all of the things open in the city are chain restaurants which everyone complains about backed by large corporation who have huge budgets for construction, and architects, and lawyers and palm greasing so our cities slowly morph into this.

It really sucks.
There's the universal "not invented here" syndrome though. Often I find a lot of good ideas, proven in practice - that simply can not be taken to use somewhere else.
To me, it doesn't sound any more ridiculous that applications having specialized support on different architectures. Most applications get away without it, but when performance really matters and general-purpose abstractions aren't sufficient, having special cases seems okay—especially when there's only a small number of architectures (or filesystems) to handle.

This can go too far—I still remember web development a decade ago—and I would prefer to have perfect abstractions that never need piercing, but absent that specialized logic seems _fine_.
If you want nice architecture, it basically has to be legislated. The neighborhood I grew up in is full of beautiful, unique homes, but this is only because there was a law on the books that no 2 homes on the same block could use the same floor-plan or facade, and each house had to be designed independently by an architect. That plus aggressive rules about how homes and properties have to be maintained.

It's a great place to live, but it's not without its cost. Surely it would be more efficient to print out a bunch of template homes, but if you want distinctive architecture you have to prioritize it.
Building codes have made it extremely expensive and time consuming to build anything other than cookie cutter boxes. Of course the code also reduces fire danger and roof collapses are extremely rare now. The cost is uniqueness. Yet another case where you can't get something for nothing.

What matters is the aggregate amount over multiple trips. If you underpay on some trips and overpay on others and it is a net wash, then it doesn't really matter for the couriers if the payment algorithm is on the low side on some trips so long as it is on the high side on other trips.

Under or overpaying on trips is more of an interest to those engineers trying to optimize marketplace efficiency. Meal delivery businesses have as much of an interest in not underpaying as doing so reduces supply availability and therefore reliability and they have also an interest in not overpaying as that reduces profitability. The ultimate goal is optimal pricing in a three sided market to maximize liquidity as the business model does best when you optimize for volume of transactions. Maximizing liquidity amortizes fixed costs over more transactions. This applies as much to the meal delivery companies as to the restaurants involved.

At the end of the day, distance driven is very imperfect as you have issues like poor GPS signal and in cities you have the dilemma of urban canyons and tunnels. Also, drivers don't always take the suggested route. At vehicle speeds, it's hard problem to solve due to time between GPS pings. Another issue besides GPS inaccuracy is clock inaccuracy, especially with round-trip times between server and client and client and server aren't always symmetrical, especially on cellular networks, and this messes up all sorts of clock synchronization strategies. The peanut gallery on HN is seriously underestimating the complexity of measuring distance using GPS. It's pretty darn good when conditions are ideal, but when they aren't, good luck.

Another question is the magnitude of the underpayment in the 21% of trips. Are we talking about 1-2%, 5-10%, some other deviation? If it was something like 1-2%, we should all be amazed. Gage repeatability and reproducibility matters.

> And besides, how will you update our map that says that protocol "age" 1 uses rsa, "age" 2 uses ed25519?

With protocol versions, which don't require a registry for the primitives. Like, there is no number that means RSA and no number that means Ed25519, there is just age v1 and age v2, and each of them uses only the one specified primitive. If you want to call version numbers registries, sure, but I think you get what I mean.

I am interested to know the distinction between "production-ready" and "science-ready" code.

I do not think "non-experts" should be able to use your code, but I do think an expert who was not involved in writing it should be.
If the code you base your work on is horrible it definitely makes me question your results. That's why it's called the reproducibility crisis.

Writing some tests, using a linter, commenting your code, and learning about best programming practices doesn't take long and pays off - even for yourself when writing the code or you need to touch the code again. "48 hours writing unit tests" is a ridiculous comparison.

I think it's unfair to expect from anyone to maintain code forever when the code rot is completely beyond your control, let alone to expect this from scientists who have better things to do. Anything with a GUI is bound to self-destruct, for example, and it's not the programmer's fault. Blame the OS makers and framework/3rd party library suppliers.

The damage can be limited by choosing a programming language that provides good long compatibility. Languages like ANSI C, Ada, CommonLisp, and Fortran fit the bill. There are many more. Heck, you could use Chipmunk Basic. Anything fancy and trendy will stop working soon, though, sometimes even within a year.

Not 100% sure I agree with analysis, for two reasons:

1. While the primary use case of Unity originally may have been game dev, the ubiquity of the software for other use cases (primarily VR/AR and other forms of online media) has been what's propelled it to this level.

2. Epic Games is much much more than the Unreal Engine. Highly recommend looking into Matthew Balls' Epic Primer [1], but Unreal is one corner of the Epic flywheel. Which is probably why they opted to raise a billion [2] in funding recently instead of IPO-ing post-Fortnite
