Almost any argument attempting to invoke intrinsic intelligence (as an explanation for some geopolitical phenomenon) is horsehocky. But even if you buy that, the West (particularly the Us) can game that by accepting “High skilled” immigrants from the entire world rather than just relying on just a fraction of the human population. A distillation of ambitious people from every nation on Earth.

I personally doubt very much how genetically hereditary this is. So you have to maintain a high number of first or second generation immigrants to keep the effect going.

Absolutely. There are payday loans (poorly developed systems) that are clearly always a bad idea, and then there are mortgages (well-architected w/ focus on minimum viability) that get you much farther in terms of realized value than you could by saving up for a house (over-engineering).
I see, thanks for the correction. I agree with your hot take.

Yes, but when you're dealing w/ transitive dependencies, often times you need to jump between many packages. And you then need to clean up after your debugging since you typically don't want to leave things unplugged if they don't need to be (as that affects performance).

I'm not saying it's impossible to debug, just that you end up having to jump through more hoops.
Aren't the biggest corporations doing the same on orders of magnitude larger datasets? They get away very well with merging data from quite a few acquired companies.

If small companies are called upon compliance with such vehemence, the big ones who know so much of us should be brought up, at least 100x times more.
I love this analogy. Dealing with a minor set of updates ... that now need to be done in 60+ all slightly different codebases for this weekend. I'm using it in our next chat with the business side.
Yeah, hugely successful products are by definition __not__ gimmicks.
Ah ok. That type of problem has to be orders of magnitude more difficult, especially when this still doesn't give us a great view into how everything interacts in a living creature.
Interesting that you feel that way. I suppose compared to free and open source anything seems "incredibly over-monetized", but Plex still seems to be one of the cheaper/simpler business models in software, to me. They've got a generous free tier, a simple subscription service for some nice to haves on top of that, and offer a "lifetime" subscription option if you'd prefer to pay a bunch of months up front and not deal with it again. It seems simple and basic enough to me.

I know they are trying to do some sort of TV channel-like value add subscription as well (because everyone is in the Streaming Wars now), but they don't push upsells into the app itself (or I never have a need to go to the sections that have that, I'm not sure), just random mentions in emails that I mostly ignore.
Yup, and you could say that's the strength of a well-lead homogenous country.

That's why although i'm more left-leaning, the constant focus of the left on subgroups being wronged is laughable and such a distraction from the reality of the world. China and their technological superiority and increasing economic sphere doesn't care.
Your characterization of the US as "centrally planned" seems incongruent enough with my starting assumptions that it's probably not worthwhile to have a conversation.

There's no private property without "central planning" (as you characterize it) of some form.

I started to use technical liability and technical asset in lieu of technical debt. Easier to explain and provides more insight into good engineering choices.
Under and over engineering are relative to your understanding of future requirements, which by definition are both unknown and subject to educated guesses. Making such guesses correctly is what distinguishes a good engineer from a bad one. Nobody ever spells out the current requirements to any level of detail even; so forget about knowing about future ones. You just have to know, recognize, and adapt to that constantly.

A lot of over engineering is due to getting this completely wrong: you prepare for something that never happens, at great cost and while underestimating the difficulty level. So you end up wasting endless amounts of time on stuff that has no business value.

On the other hand, a lot of under-engineering is due to not having a clue about what is obviously coming next and getting caught by surprise by completely obvious requirements.
Might be interesting but I'm missing some info.

Firstly, like others have said, I don't want to use Google to sign in.

Also, why must I sign in? This seems like a tool and thus doesn'y need a login.

Which makes me ask... what's the pricing? When I do "sign up" do I only get one video? one minute? a limit of some type?

Also, what's the legal? Do you own the video? Can I monetize it?

An FAQ can probably help answer the above.

> your program should just fail instead of giving a ton of messages and recovering

I would bet that he was right in that situation, but that he was also making a nuanced statement. Not all code should fail loudly, but when it should, "recovering" can sometimes be a distraction from a very real problem that needs to be addressed by the right person.

Google Translate gives the opposite Chinese translation for Joe Biden winning
One reason to care which is bigger is the effect they each will have on the norms of governance around the world. Superpowers tend to nudge the rest of the world's governments to be more like them (see Britain and the US over the last 300 years). Do you want the rest of the world to be more like China or more like the West?

China has shown the world what it considers to be acceptable norms of governance: unrepentant, ongoing genocide against the Uigers, snuffing out liberal democracy in Hong Kong, and denying the sovereignty of a liberal neighbor in Taiwan.

I'm fully expecting plenty of whataboutism and false equivalencies in response to this comment and others making a similar point.

Believe me, I'm disappointed in the US and the rest of the West's recent slide away from liberal values, and I hope we can start doing better soon, but I encourage onlookers to ask themselves: do you really believe the there's no meaningful difference between China's vision for the future and the West's? No difference between the future each will create for you?
Update: Google translate already fixed the issue, so it's not reprod-able.

I think it'd be horsehockey if I were claiming that the Chinese or white people or Americans or whoever is intrinsically more intelligent or "culturally" hard-working or whatever. That's bullshit. I can understand the gut reaction to any mention of IQ since it is a common trope among racists on the internet.

But my claim is not that: it is about the pretty clear concentration of inherited wealth in the US, compared to the intensive testing system used in China.

Your immigration solution would fix the intelligence of our workforce (skeptical that's a huge problem to start with), but do nothing to resolve the distributional problems in our model.
I would need a tutorial for it - And I would look up "how to bend sheet metal" because I'm guessing there's 100 better tutorials that aren't specific to this one problem.
If Mozilla shut its doors for good and Firefox became abandonware, would not all the donations and volunteer labor look for another browser project, perhaps one with a more principled stance on user privacy? Would that not be a good thing? There are some small alternative projects out there. I don’t think a political analogy is a good one. Software is not a winner-take-all market (albeit it often is anti-competitive). You can install Nyxt even though Chrome is more popular.

The (small) gopher renaissance and Gemini are good examples of how excited some people are to change what the web IS (and consequently, make hobby-browsers an option). If you can’t view documents online without millions in software development, then maybe THAT is the real problem.
See e.g. the annual reports in https://www.apple.com/environment/ regarding environmental responsibility and the graphs in https://www.apple.com/supplier-responsibility/ regarding improvements in supplier responsibility.

Even Greenpeace acknowledges quite a bit of progress in many respects: https://www.greenpeace.org/usa/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/GG... — keep in mind that they used to picket Apple annual meetings. Admittedly, they still have plenty of criticisms, and several of them echo yours.

Personally, I think "designed to fail" is a downright false charge, and "repairability" is a trickier trade-off than repair advocates make it out to be — how much weight, size, and fragility does the repairability add, and how often is the device in fact repaired?

Doesn't instill confidence in that content.

fyi: XML was subset by W3C (the SGML "extended review board" specifically) from SGML to become the generic syntax for web vocabularies (replace HTML syntax by XTHML, and define new SVG, MathML vocabularies). Didn't work out on the web, though.

> Use a damned debugger! Take a traffic dump! Use strace!

I have encountered a fair amount of cases where that does not work.

- debugging a super large program ? loading gdb may take two minutes while recompiling to add a printf only 3-4 seconds.

- not an admin on the machine you are and the person with the admin account is not around ? sorry, you can't debug on macos (and likely in some linux distros)

- likewise, no traffic dump (and I'd assume no strace) if you don't have root access
Framework for Decision-Making in a Time of Change
I meant special casing in the sense that this a conscious effort specifically targeted at Typescript support, as opposed to some generic design that would cater to a large class of projects.

Mind you, I understand that there are legitimate reasons to approach it this way now (e.g. technical limitations, differences in opinion wrt project governance, cost/benefit on long tail, etc). I'm mostly cautioning the unaware that one shouldn't necessarily expect that every package will work under yarn v2 (though an overwhelmingly large majority does work just fine).
> They have been struggling for almost a decade to get even one refurbished Russian aircraft carrier operational.

They launched their first domestic carrier last year, actually. Evidence is they are starting to get more serious about their navy. 3 more under construction.

China's plan is definitely to absorb countries into their growing economic sphere. Then they absorb countries into their network/techno-sphere by selling communication and surveillance equipment.

This will allow them to assist the leaders in power by swaying public opinion at a whim. Further consolidating control. This pushes out western companies and doesn't allow their capital to operate.

Eventually this "virus" will reach the main western countries and engulf them. The capitalist system will be turned against itself.

In the past, you couldn't automate the managing of perception and access like you can now with a "technosphere" of capabilities that increase by the year.

They exploit weaknesses like the "racial divide" to pit us against each other, to hasten this.

> Drunk drivers tend not to only kill themselves. I'd also like to point out that your argument for 'personal responsibility' has a lot of similarities with the 'abortions would stop if people just exercised abstinence' argument. The flaw is the same: people don't act responsibly[0] and others suffer for it[1].

I will very much give you this one, and that's the first thought I had as I was writing up my post. Still not entirely sure how to reconcile that tbh, and I tried to encapsulate that in "I do think having Uber or Lyft is strictly better."
Technical Debt is not a thing when you are coding a new feature. It’s like a stock future. It might be debt, but it might be something no one uses or gets dropped (or rolled into another feature). There’s a cost to speed that has to be considered. Maybe it’s debt, maybe you save the time and spend it on other more valuable tasks.
> And it's a bit insulting to say California voters don't have the wherewithal to digest political advertisements and make their own decisions.

On top of this, voters don’t even need to digest political advertisements. The state sends a booklet that describes all the proposition, the pro position, rebuttals to the pro position, the con position and rebuttals to the con position, plus how much money was spent from each side, plus who made those contributions. All there, in black and white, in your mailbox.
There is an old sailor's joke about who do you believe when the sailor on the deck says, "there is no land in sight" and the one in the crow's nest says "land off the starboard bow."

The wisdom in the joke is that both are correct from their own point of view but as a matter of trust, you want to go with the point of view with the person who has a better view of the bigger picture.

Representative forms of government have always relied on the chosen representative spending their time and energy to understand an issue and its relative merits and, with the understanding of what the people who elected them value, choosing the right path. They are "in the crow's nest" in this scenario.

Imagine a hospital scenario where the doctor announces your symptoms over the public address system and then all of the other patients in the hospital vote on your course of treatment. And the patients are voting while treatment company representatives walk around and tell misleading stories about how effective their particular drug or therapy is in treating what ever ailment has just been announced over the PA.

Of course in theory you choose your doctor based on the fact that they spent 12 years studying for their certification in medicine and perhaps their experience in treating cases like yours. You don't go to the hospital to hear what the other patients think you should do.

But even in this ridiculous scenario, the other patients can be sincere in their desire that you get better, and so will passionately advocate for vendor X's treatment if they believe that vendor X has the best treatment.

And as a result, your care stops being about finding the right treatment to a disease or condition, and becomes convincing the largest number of patients that an answer could be the right answer.

From my perspective, living as I do in California for many years, my perspective is that I don't think the people of California are well served by this state of affairs.
I am not sure I understand. If there were local time guns, wouldn't they just fire theirs when they heard the sound of the central gun to help sync time with those farther away? They couldn't fire their gun 10 seconds in the past when they heard the central gun's sound.

A lot of eastern European countries have quite close ties with china. Even with countries like Germany and Italy I wouldn't be so sure.
They began moving years ago because wages were increasing in China, same reason those jobs left the U.S. decades ago.

I'm tempted to say the process was accelerated in China, but then again the heyday of U.S. manufacturing was only 20-30 years, maybe 40-50 if you include 1920s appliances boom[1], as the shift to Japan was in full swing by the 1970s. China is at about the 30 year mark (1990-2020), so if we really wanted to take a long-term historical perspective none of the contemporary politics matters--industrialization dynamics are running their natural course and choosing our politicians based on how "tough" they are on China (regarding trade policy) is pointless.

[1] Though I don't know if the industry's share of the labor market was significant, the U.S. dominated the appliances industry in the 1920s, so much so that it significantly contributed to the Great Depression. Not only did it directly inflate investment markets, the unbalanced trade with Europe, exacerbated by the gold standard, caused monetary deflation in European economies, which contributed to labor problems (stagnant wages, increasing unemployment), which in turn ultimately crashed foreign demand for both American appliances and investments. At least that's what I remember from reading Lords of Finance.
Bitcoin is not deflationary, it is disinflationary. The Bitcoin supply is still inflating, currently around 1.8% per year. However, that inflation rate will continue to fall to 0%.
> In this case microservices were massive over engineering.

They often are.

Well-meaning engineers and architects seem to reach for them while forgetting that microservices are about scaling your organization, not your software.

There are very few technical deficiencies in a monolith that are solved by microservices. Indeed, they typically bring technical hurdles: distributed systems are hard to reason through and IPC over the network introduces latency. And you need a very strong ops team to implement them without major headaches.

But where they really start to shine is when regression testing takes ~days and your development cycles are screeching to a halt because you've got too many in flight features and not enough runway to land them.

What takes real skill is recognizing which of your monoliths should be grown and which ones need to be sliced down the middle.
