And the actual translation for reference from the wiki link:

--

I swear by Apollo Healer, by Asclepius, by Hygieia, by Panacea, and by all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will carry out, according to my ability and judgment, this oath and this indenture.

To hold my teacher in this art equal to my own parents; to make him partner in my livelihood; when he is in need of money to share mine with him; to consider his family as my own brothers, and to teach them this art, if they want to learn it, without fee or indenture; to impart precept, oral instruction, and all other instruction to my own sons, the sons of my teacher, and to indentured pupils who have taken the Healer’s oath, but to nobody else.

I will use those dietary regimens which will benefit my patients according to my greatest ability and judgment, and I will do no harm or injustice to them.[7] Neither will I administer a poison to anybody when asked to do so, nor will I suggest such a course. Similarly I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion. But I will keep pure and holy both my life and my art. I will not use the knife, not even, verily, on sufferers from stone, but I will give place to such as are craftsmen therein.

Into whatsoever houses I enter, I will enter to help the sick, and I will abstain from all intentional wrong-doing and harm, especially from abusing the bodies of man or woman, bond or free. And whatsoever I shall see or hear in the course of my profession, as well as outside my profession in my intercourse with men, if it be what should not be published abroad, I will never divulge, holding such things to be holy secrets.

Now if I carry out this oath, and break it not, may I gain for ever reputation among all men for my life and for my art; but if I break it and forswear myself, may the opposite befall me.[6] – Translation by W.H.S. Jones.

This attitude, I believe, is at the root of 90% of the so-called market failures.

No cute company logos and no photos or adjectives in descriptions of products. Everything is manipulation at some level. Amazon would need to be a blank search page, and you’d have to tell it exactly what you want, and the only thing it could say back is “no” or “yes” and the price.
It's a very rough analogy. The brain doesn't work like a computer chip, but it does work much slower than modern chips in neuron firings per second.
There is extremely significant unemployment in the US as well. It's just not counted. The number of people in US prisons alone adds about 2% to the total unemployment rate. And abstracting a little from the endless and pointless arguments about whether work should be funded by taxation or by sales - and the correct answer there is it depends - imprisonment not alone removes productive people from society, but also remove other productive people to guard them. But of course, if you have private prisons, then the objective will always be to increase sales. For the same reason, paying surgeons by the operation is also a terrible idea.
Yes, I've looked at EDN before. It's solving a similar problem, but not the same one. EDN is focused on extensibility, where as Concise Encoding is focused on concision, and binary-text compatibility.

Transit is a bridging format to other encoding formats, which is very cool, but a fairly different problem space.

Fressian is pretty close, but is binary only. The main purpose of Concise Encoding is binary-text compatible formats.
> I think this is used as an intentional strategy of control, at least somewhat. Make a jillion tiny little laws that are impossible to keep track of or follow, that way you know everyone is a criminal if you want them to be.

>based on available resources and public policy

You missed a few criteria:

- Cultural, political, racial grievances of police.

- Cultural, political, racial prejudices. That is, maybe no ill will per se toward a citizen who looks a certain way -- but assumed guilt by association.

- Personal ambition, to be pursued by making lots of arrests, on maximal charges.

- Fear. End of month approaching, and beat officer is behind on quota of citations/arrests. Punishment expected from chief or DA, if revenue from fines, or prestige from high-profile arrests are lacking.

So, it's the selection of offenders, rather than of offenses due to resource constraints, that makes selective punishment so ethically offensive.

This is the epitome of the "How does the collective well-being of society affect you in any way? Mind your own business!" take.

Troubled people use drugs, including cannabis. Troubled people are prone to crime. Crime spreads and creates unsustainable living conditions for everyone. And that's not mentioning the destructive effect on culture and social interaction in general.

"Live and let live" wasn't a viable outlook on life for thousands of years, and it won't be going forward. Libertarian fantasies were a brief anomaly in history.

Any opinions on the matter completely ignore the fact that the software engineers are NOT the shot callers.

And the fact that changing jobs -- in case you have an ethical disagreement with your employer -- is awful abs hugely taxing on both your physical and mental health. And yes, that goes to programmers as well. It ain't all sunshine and rainbows as many claim.

In short: having an ethical code is irrelevant. It will be overridden by the business anyway so why waste your time composing it?
Have you tried any of the Zachtronics games? Magnum Opus, Spacechem, etc?

None of these are monopolies. These are all concentrated, but not monopolized. To your later point, market discipline still functions in concentrated industries.

> Market discipline, creative destruction and such work to full effect for restaurants, hairdressers, landscaping... It's a small part of the economy.

The vast majority of industries are either operated by many small players, or a few large players (concentration). Actual monopolies are extraordinarily rare.

> Health and pharmaceuticals, all government contracting, Real Estate, etc. No market mechanism here either

This is also untrue.

Health & pharmaceuticals: Same story. concentration? Perhaps. Monopoly? Not by a long shot. You have major players like Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Merck, GSK, Amgen BV, Abbott, McKesson, etc etc.

> According to most of the IQ literature, a person's IQ does not significantly change over time

If you're saying that a person's environment (e.g. education) doesn't causally affect abstract reasoning skills (as measured by IQ), then that is not correct according to the currently available evidence.

"We looked at 42 datasets using several different research designs and found that, overall, adding an extra year of schooling in this way improved people's IQ scores by between 1 and 5 points."

Chrome seems to have a more full-featured shim layer for handling older graphics drivers.

I have a netbook that Firefox won't even try to launch WebGL on. Chrome seems to run WebGL just fine, though shaders with more than about twelve instructions fall off a performance cliff.

(Add one multiplication operation over the limit, and performance decreases twentyfold. Keep the new line, but delete any other single line of code in the shader, and performance goes back to normal.)
> There can't be one

Effectively true, but your reasons are wrong:

> The ethical decisions that happen in the industry aren't made by the software engineers.

Software engineers decide whether to participate in or enable them, just like other professionals with codes of ethics that work in supporting or advisory roles for employers/clients. Other professions that do this have real codes of ethics, so this reason is BS.

> The boundaries around those decision are very grey.

And they aren't in law? Medicine? Again, that doesn't prevent a real code of ethics.

What does prevent such a thing from meaningfully existing for software engineering is the fact that it's not a regulated profession with a professional licensing and enforcement body.
Assuming we're not talking about private companies doing government projects, a private company will eventually run out of money if their projects fail. That's ostensibly why it's good to run certain things privately: a bunch of entities get a go at making the most popular widget and society gets the benefit of having various widgets available. The losers have their assets/staff recycled into the economy.

Not saying it always works.

Why would you need to recycle wood? It's biodegradable and cheap.

Recycling is overrated for cheap products. Plastic is practically impossible to recycle effectively. If it were made to be biodegradable that would make much more sense. But even failing that, there is no shortage of landfill space, as long as it goes to the garage and not to the environment - a huge problem in the developing world and where the plastic in the ocean originates from.
> wish that society had a meaningful role

We kind of do. Storytellers. I write fiction. (And a few blog posts) A lot of my own experience with the extremes of the human emotion gets rolled into what I create.
Taking your example, that requires one to have already codified exactly what you yourself want and for that list of wants to be the same for everyone.
Furthermore, there are many layers between them and where much of the wrongdoing took place, so they may or may not have had any involvement in the "villainy". Perverse unintentional incentives at one more places in the stack are more than sufficient to create the appearance of villainy without any intentional malice. Hanlon's Razor is far more common than people want to admit.

In this story, doctors are looking for easy solutions they can prescribe in 5-15 minute appointments so they can see as many patients in a day. Management is looking to increase sales. Account managers are trying to get doctor's to prescribe. The only "villainy" at the board/shareholder level could be as simple as tasking management with finding other legitimate well meaning use cases for opioids. That incentive alone is enough to create pressure all the way down the stack and when people in the stack are presented with the challenge of meeting goals, all of them in concert making small compromises within their role are enough to produce the illusion of villainy.

If you find it hard to do that (have a defined way to recognise a customer; make a db lookup to get their data) then it's very simple you don't acquire nor keep that data. This means you have to have a level of competence - across your organisation (including how you store, retrieve data, and how you recognise customers) - before you start storing their data.

Really if you can't established a way to recognise customers how can we (as customers) expect you to competently do 2FA and competently store data without losing it.

It's like complaining that your kitchen shouldn't have to keep track of expiry dates of meat; if that's too onerous for you then you're showing you're not competent to run a kitchen.

And that 60% does not include defined benefit pension and retiree healthcare benefits that are understated or unstated because the government can use extra rosy assumptions and/or just skip saving money and then dump those expenses on future taxpayers.
I think any work will attract workers as long as they need work. And the marketing was good enough to convince them that the payoff would be worth the initial outlay.
Yea but that doesn't mean anything when 99% of them can't find jobs.
This is false. Drug use rates are comparable among the upper and lower class, but we overwhelmingly enforce against the poor.

Also, you should try some ganja, it might calm you down.
Yeah, the problem is not that these codes of ethics don't exist, it is that it is nearly impossible for them to become a requirement for software development. You would have to change the entire legal landscape of software including certifying and licensing developers as well as banning a lot of hobbyist open source development in order for these code of ethics to be anything more than voluntary. And anyone who is willing to voluntary agree to a code of ethics probably wasn't the person who was doing ethically questionable work anyway.

I am a strong proponent of software ethics being taught in schools, but I don't think an Hippocratic type oath makes any sense in our profession.

No, not at all. I think theaters have been dying for a long time but very slowly, and the pandemic just accelerated their demise.

One of several reasons this happens is because debilitating the company is like completely skipping an antitrust hearing and granting the remaining companies closer to a monopoly.

The government feels like reining in the remaining company's behavior in the future will be that much harder, while the service for customers and society will degrade to that much worse and egregious.

Yes, the concept is stretched when half a million people are dead, and many of the others are now addicted to fentanyl as the country has devolved into a narcostate with poisoned supply chains. If you want to understand how we get here, you have to understand the psychology of the governments instead of oversimplifying it with "corruption" because such a simplified view will cause the wrong and ineffective public policy changes to occur, making those dead and dying people's lives be in vain.
a's type didn't change. The trap was that the wrapping function returned its nested function instead of itself. You can do the same thing in other languages, it's just easier to slip into code in Copper. Let me illustrate with pseudo C code:

[code]

class F {

int mydata;

F( int a ) : mydata(a) {}

F* operator( int p ) { a=p; return new Function(0); }

};

myF = new F(10);

doSomething( &myFunc );

doSomething( myFunc() );

[/code]

This is a basic formula for how things appear "under the hood" in the VM. Notice that doSomething() accepts F*, but in the first case, the F instance passed has a different mydata value. In Copper, the above code corresponds to:

[code]

doSomething( myF )

doSomething( myF: ) or doSomething( myF() )

[/code]

These technically fall under public policy, poorly aligned incentives and or insufficient judicial/executive oversight.

If officers feel that they need to make their quota or even have an arrests/infraction quote then that's a clear failure of policy, if they feel that they can settled their own grievances by abusing their power it's again a failure of policy.

You have noticed something very interesting about the nature of human consciousness and the way it conceptualizes the world, and the events, ideas, people, etc within it. Other examples of this phenomenon can be observed in this thread, and all other threads on any topic.

I propose that this phenomenon can be productively explored and ~understood with the usage of psychedelics if one goes in with this specific intention.

My intuition tells me 5-7 years doesn’t pass the sniff test. But if I’m wrong, maybe the government can endeavour to be more transparent. Doesn’t take a lot to show us a general timeline breaking down the major tasks.
