I found a few quotes in this interview to be really insightful. Here's one:

Well, language does not match up to the complexity of things. I think that the philosopher Whitehead talks of the paradox of the perfect dictionary, that is, the idea of supposing that all the words that a dictionary registers exhaust reality.

Chesterton also wrote about this, saying that it is absurd to suppose that all the nuances of human consciousness, which are more vast than a jungle, can be contained in a mechanical system of grunts which would be, in this case, the words spoken by a stockbroker. That’s absurd and yet people talk of a perfect language, of a rich language, but in comparison to our consciousness language is very poor.

I think that somewhere Stevenson says that what happens in ten minutes exceeds all Shakespeare’s vocabulary. I believe it’s the same idea.

Internet Ascendant, Part 1: Exponential Growth
I think that Parkinsons law applies to all form of administration tasks including doctors and hospitals.
"Parkinson's law is the adage that "work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion".
It is sometimes applied to the growth of bureaucracy in an organization."

Parkinson noticed that the English ship fleet was decreasing in numbers but the number of administrators administrating the fleet was increasing. This rule can be generalized and said to adhere to all kind of public work. If we do not keep Parkinsons law in check doctors will spend more time at computers fulfilling rules administrators invented instead of doing real critical work helping sick patients. Our tax burden will also increase since the efficiency of the system goes down over time, more tax money needs to be allocated to serve the rules and laws the administrators have invented. Is critical that we limit the number of rules and laws administrators can invent so that we have efficient system that serves there original purpose.

Parkinson's law is the adage that "work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion"

Key take away passage from Parkinsons law:
"The accompanying table is derived from Admiralty statistics for 1914 and 1928. The
criticism voiced at the time centered on the comparison between the sharp fall in numbers
of those available for fighting and the sharp rise in those available only for
administration, the creation, it was said, of "a magnificent Navy on land." But that
comparison is not to the present purpose. What we have to note is that the 2,000
Admiralty officials of 1914 had become the 3,569 of 1928; and that this growth was
unrelated to any possible increase in their work. The Navy during that period had
diminished, in point of fact, by a third in men and two-thirds in ships. Nor, from 1922
onwards, was its strength even expected to increase, for its total of ships (unlike its total
of officials) was limited by the Washington Naval Agreement of that year. Yet in these
circumstances we had a 78.45 percent increase in Admiralty officials over a period of
fourteen years; an average increase of 5.6 percent a year on the earlier total"

Defend his client.

It's the government's job to establish the guilt of the accused. It is not the defendant's advocate's job to help out. The actual guilt or innocence of their client is not a concern—legally speaking. Ensuring that they get a fair trial, and are afforded all the process due to them is.

A defense attorney will poke whatever holes they find in the state's evidence, in their theory, and in their conduct. They will work to suppress evidence that was gathered illegally, locate witnesses that can testify on behalf of their client, and argue before the jury that the state has not proven their case beyond the legal standard.

I'm sure it's much easier for lawyers when they themselves are convinced of their client's innocence. But when someone comes to you and pays you to advocate for them in court, that's what you do. Your personal opinion is irrelevant.

Love this breakdown. And to josephg's post:

When I was picking a dissertation topic I'd suggest things to my advisor and she'd say brightly, "Why don't you go do some research on that, come back in two weeks and tell me what you found?"

I'd go off to the library for a couple of weeks, do the reading, come back and say, "You know I think X is a terrible topic, the scholarship on it all seems to drag."

"Oh yes," she'd say, with a look that said this was the worst topic in the world.

"So why didn't you just tell me that in the first place?"

Then she'd get diplomatic. "You're young, maybe you see something that I don't!"

I realised though that it wasn't just that. Had she told me my idea about topic X was a loser, I'd have thought that my advisor was crushing my creativity and ingenuity. I really had to figure out on my own how much the topic sucked. It had to come from my own discovery, not from her authority.

Anyway, I do this now and it drives my students nuts, because they want me to hand them a paper topic, ideally tell them what books to read, and send them off so they can execute the steps. Meanwhile, I want them to spend time in the messy, difficult process of working things out. I think my process probably results in more failure (at least as far as the grades are concerned), but the good work is so much better.

This is the same load of horsefeathers that is on display in every popular narrative arguing for herd immunity.

The author writes: "We need to shield older people and other high-risk groups until they are protected by herd immunity." I've read this sentence almost verbatim literally dozens of times over the last few months. Those who promote this meme either offer no explanation for how this can be done, or offer a hand-wavy and anemic explanation of what is really a titanic effort on an untried scale. The oldest members of our society either live with their families or are attended by medical caretakers, who are an obvious source of infection. We can't put our elderly into Bubble Boy-style hospital wards or ship them to Old People Island. If we all go back to work and school, we can't help dramatically increasing the risk to the elderly from increased social mingling and network effects.

The author offers the wan suggestion that the institutionalized elderly could be attended by a rotating cast of medical staff who are somehow certifiably safe. "Immunity passports" have been a conservative meme since the start of the epidemic, when we had zero evidential foundation for such a belief. The body of evidence for COVID immunity remains mixed. Six months in, we are starting to see cases of apparently incontrovertible reinfection. The question whether one can be immune and yet still infectious remains open. The enthusiasm for the "immunity passport" meme among a segment of commentators really feels like a spectator's desire to see some dog-eat-dog competition in the labor force.

But all this, of course, is predicated on a third meme, which is that the effects of COVID are possible death for the very old and "water off a duck's back" for everyone else. No. A number of college athletes are currently grounded with pericarditis, a risky diagnosis with an indefinite time course. Unlike our Swiss cheese understanding of practical COVID immunity, our picture of COVID complications is becoming clearer, and it includes common incidence of dangerous internal inflammation, reduced lung function, and chronic fatigue. If we're concerned about the drag on our economy, let's consider what kind of drag a chronically ill labor force will generate. This is the scenario in third-world countries, where infectious diseases like malaria and AIDS eat into labor productivity and sap the average life expectancy.

In other words, this is a dangerous complex of memes that show up in tandem and aren't particularly affected by gathering evidence. It is externally motivated and could very well endanger each of us individually.
I think the main reason is probably just how utterly irritating Twitter’s website has gotten. If I try to visit any Twitter link on my phone I currently see “This is not available to you” (not paraphrased.) Before this started happening, I frequently hit errors that required refreshing the page once. And even when it does work, the site is irritating, requires JS and frequently messes with my scroll position.

Nitter’s about page also provides some reasoning to use it: https://nitter.net/about

I don't think cookies will do much against a large-scale automated attack, but everything else in this list is solid:

Hide posts until legitimacy of the poster has been verified. Allow them to post and respond, but don't show it to anyone yet, except to the moderators. If they're posting something sensible, unhide them. If it's spam, shadow-ban them. Don't let the user know. Let them guess why nobody is responding to the spam.

For that reason, it may also be a good idea to post an announcement that nobody should respond to this spam. Tat way the spammer won't know if he's being ignored manually or auto-hidden. Let him waste time and frustration on that.

Only use this against people who are this malicious. For regular hot-headed people who accidentally break forum rules but do want to meaningfully contribute to the community, always remain open and honest. Give people the opportunity to learn. Only people who are determined not to learn and to remain purely destructive, do you use the shadow ban.

Of course once they catch on, they'll probably start making new accounts with some legitimate posts, and once people start responding, they go back into spamming mode. This is tricky. Ideally, it'd be nice if you had a system that could automatically detect that sort of spam. If someone suddenly starts posting ascii art, bigimages, all caps, or anything like that, or goes on a rapid posting spree, automatically put them back on probation with hidden posts requiring approval, so you can check this change in posting behaviour.
The ethics behind this is has been deeply studied and debated, and the "right to representation" is an important right. The system is based on checks and balances, and there's no certainty the violent criminal is guilty for the specific crime they're being charged with.

This is likely related to the adversarial nature of the courts, prosecutors vs defenders. Defenders ethically need to defend equally, basic game theory, aka Prisoner's Dilemma.
It's the sort of optimization that one can read about in games and DirectX programming books.

A better optimization comes with the realization, as MacOS people had many years ago, that copying from system memory to video memory is slow. So one instead pre-loads the glyphs into off-screen video memory, possibly on-demand, and then uses the display hardware to blit them into the on-screen part.

Of course, this requires that code know about blitter hardware, which does not necessarily exist. If one is doing an in-kernel terminal emulator, such as wscons in OpenBSD here, then one can rely upon the fact that the EFI Graphics Output Protocol provides a Blt() function that is supposed to abstract away the hardware. Indeed, EFI GOP can in theory not provide direct framebuffer access in the first place and require that everything be blitted (PixelBltOnly).

We who write application-mode terminal emulators are not so fortunate. (-:

In 50 years, I bet they'll still be looking for python 2 developers to work on old python code...

Or not... it's not like you can't throw a python 3 dev at an old python 2 codebase and tell them to work on it. Even if that probably wouldn't make them very happy about it, they wouldn't be lost.

But I'd bet an arm that there will still be python 2 codebases running in production in the next decades with companies very unwilling to do the work of migrating it.

Those are far from being in opposition. A cynic might say the bar exists to serve lawyers as a class by doing the bare minimum to appear to be regulating them.

> the design choices were more political than technical: administrative staff and doctors had different views about what should be included.

I worked at a company that designed such a system. I was not involved with the project but when the system came out there was a lot of heat in the press quoting medical professionals about how bad the system was. Suddenly, with the new system, the workarounds used in the previous one stopped working. The problem, of course, was not in the "programming" part, even if the press portrayed it so. The problem was the requirements and the insanity of the medical management to force the users to stick to the exact documented work process.

The article addresses this as well later on and describes how solutions are then added by workgroups for specific fields. Just another example how you should design such a system along with the users and not by encoding work process some administrative entity proscribed.
Well, it seems more complete for one. Probably a bit because of Ruby but also that more effort went into it.

> So yes, Rust enums and Typescript union types are both exactly sum-types…

As others have pointed out, untagged unions are not sum types because the union of a type with itself has no effect, whereas adding a type to itself yields twice as many possible values. Untagged unions can function as sum types when there is no overlap between the members, but not in the general case.

To illustrate the difference: You can construct every possible algebraic type as some combination of void (no values), unit (one value), sum (|A + B| = |A| + |B|), and product (|A * B| = |A| * |B|). This does not work if the sum type is replaced with an untagged union. You can't even get as far as constructing the equivalent of the boolean type; while |Unit + Unit| has two distinct values, |Unit ⋃ Unit| only has one value.

> Almost all the water problems are due to agribusiness usage.

That is largely true, but there is some low-hanging fruit:

1) Typically in each city, there's one or two houses with a broken water line that uses as much water as an entire subdivision. Finding and fixing those quickly is worthwhile.

2) Continuing to research and codify efficient toilets and showerheads is a win in the long run. Back in the day, electrical utilities used to offer exchanges on old hot water heaters, etc. for more efficient ones. Even today that's a great idea.
That optimization boundary seems like it's much more of a problem for TruffleRuby than it is for language-specific native implementations? IIRC TruffleRuby relies a lot on being able to optimize away Ruby objects and frames and there's quite a performance cliff if you have to materialize full escaping objects?

JSC and LuaJIT have simpler ways to deal with calling native code which might do weird stuff.
