Here's a super interesting thing: Chicago is getting ready to embark on a major project where they replace the water line between every single house and the water main, for the entire city. If they had any brains at all, they had better be telling all the ISPs to follow right behind them throwing a fiber cable into the trench they dig between the house and the street. And they should be starting the project in the low-income neighborhoods first.

> The accidental complexity to integrate w/ a 3rd party solution can sometimes surpass that of building your own solution.

This is one of the most common and damaging mistakes I see. Here are some other hidden costs that are often invisible to people:

1. The cost of understanding the 3rd party solution, which increases with the generality of the tool. That is, you are using a tool which solves A, B, C, and D to solve A. Using a well-documented tool helps here, but doesn't eliminate the problem.

2. The cost of upgrades, especially when forced by a security issue.

3. Framework vs library costs. It usually much less costly to import pure functions (think: an assertion library) versus importing a framework which forces a bespoke way of doing things (think: rspec).

Calling skeptics as "denialists" is a rejection of scientific discourse. The skeptic could reasonably be defined as someone who doubts a proposition and gives reasons for doubting it: if truth is given as a condition of skepticism, it preempts the frame of discussion in which truths are settled, and makes discourse into a game of who can define the other out of existence more effectively.

It's a typical rookie mistake to confuse the cable costs with construction costs.

I know reading is hard, but repeat after me: "The reason you use 12 strands or less in long haul systems is that it is cheaper to use fewer strands and higher bandwidth rates per strand than to build high count subsea cable systems."

If you want high count subsea cable segments with amps, but which does not use in-line amps, take a look at https://crosslakefibre.ca/

To spell it out for you, subsea cables which are only a few hundred kilometers long do not require in-line amps, only head end amps.

Browsers already maintain hyphenation dictionaries (and/or know how to ask host OSes for them), it's just that because hyphenation and justification are two different knobs in CSS a lot of sites turn on one without the other.

Browsers also support some of the same tricks that designer tools support to encourage/support hyphenation such as supporting soft hyphens (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_hyphen). But those tools are something that require training and/or forethought and not something that average web content would likely include.

Once the meatless companies scale up their supply chains and production lines, they predict that they'll be cheaper than meat.

Those comparisons are misleaidng and themselves the result of ideology - the local contact tracing and national contact tracing have different success rates in large part because they handle different kinds of contacts. Local contact tracing handles "complex" cases, which are generally things like workplace outbreaks where they have the help of employee records and attendance lists. National contact tracing handles all the other, less robustly recorded social contacts. I believe that in Canada, where all contact tracing is local, a lot of areas have recently abandoned tracing the kinds of contacts that are handled by the UK's national scheme altogether because they don't have the resources and it doesn't work well.

That boat will finally arrive at Facebook in two years. Two years is a long time for a bit of tech, but for me, the bigger deal is any money I've sunk into the Oculus ecosystem will go up in smoke then.

That was the primary reason I started gaming mostly on Steam via Rift, and am looking to replace the headset completely now.

There was a great primer on embedded Linux boards by Jay Carlson a couple weeks ago that touched on the network limitations and various tradeoffs that devices in this class need to make:

https://jaycarlson.net/embedded-linux/

In summary, if you can't have your IoT device plugged into the wall, or connected by a "crazy" 802.15.4 low-power serial wireless network to a hub device that is, and especially if you have BOM cost constraints, battery life requirements, or processing needs that mean you can't use Linux or lwIP, you're going to have a bad time.

"Covid19 would also be over if people with symptoms would just stay home."

That is unlikely to be true. There are asymptomatic super spreaders. The fact that R0 is currently hovering around 1 is that society has greatly reduced contacts. Even in areas where social distancing is a mere suggestion, most people are not behaving completely normally (a good thing). Flights are super low, movie theater visits are super low, hotel occupancy is super low. Social distancing and contact tracing work. Better social distancing and contact tracing work better.

> I call BS on dogmatic rules like that. Good architecture is analysing the requirements at hand and explicitly articulating and weighting the trade-offs.

This is quite the straw-man argument. For example, the section [1] whose title you quoted explicitly calls out the need to perform an evaluation first:

> When functionality is required, existing IT assets in the organization must be evaluated and used first, unless they do not exist and/or are a significant mismatch to the required functionality.

The "book" is clearly a draft-quality rough collection of notes, many of which are not fleshed out extensively, but it's quite unfair to consider it as a set of "dogmatic rules".

(Before I begin, I'd like to thank you for trying to understand the perspectives of others rather than bashing and ignoring anyone who doesn't share the same beliefs. We need more of this in the world.)

I see a few important aspects to touch on here...I'm personally towards the right of the political spectrum, and would probably identify as Libertarian. First, you're generalizing the entire right-wing ideology from a "conspiracy theory" starting point. Most right-wing ideology isn't based around impacts from "conspiracy theories", it's mostly based around believing that the left's agenda is bad for America in the long-term. Adding up all the "conspiracy theories" won't give you the "sum" of what defines the right's beliefs...it could more reliably be defined as "subtracting" the future negative outcomes of left-wing policies. Second, most "conspiracy theories" by nature aren't fleshed out and therefore don't have clear-cut epistemological foundations. That's not to say they aren't possibly true in at least some form. It was once a "conspiracy theory" to say the Earth was round. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. That's not to say some things aren't completely outrageous, but it's much more dangerous to say every "conspiracy theory" is fake than the opposite, which is the media's/left's current approach. Third, you're over-distilling the term "think for myself/yourself". This doesn't literally mean go out and find every single fact yourself, it means diversify your source of news outside of the 3-4 media conglomerates (which are owned by a handful of individuals). Fourth, you seem to skip over the entire aspect of why the parent commenter mentions "think for yourself". It's not only the sweeping censorship that's an issue, it's also the non-reporting or shadow-banning of any topics that go against the left-wing narrative.

Hopefully this adds a little perspective.

I think you've swung way hard the other way. Specifically you're overlooking various classes of analysis that do get easier with more restricted languages and focusing too hard on the general analysis of "let me prove an arbitrary statement about an arbitrary program" (i.e. the same pitfall people fall into when they point to Rice's theorem and say "ah so static analyzers are a worthless waste of time").

For example, with a strongly normalizing lambda calculus, I can prove intentional equality for any two functions and also have the nice property that extensional and intentional equality coincide.

This means that I can prove e.g. that refactors that aren't supposed to change behavior in fact don't. A specific class of analysis to be sure that's not as useful as a general "prove anything about this function," but still quite useful. This specific property happens to be true of dhall.

From the viewpoint of state machines, this is also true of FSMs. In that case, another way to think of it is that you get optimization for free. You can construct the minimal FSM with the same behavior as once you've created (this is also true for the lambda calculus case but generally it seems the lambda calculus isn't thought of usually in operational terms the same way FSMs are).

Moreover, your last comment also illustrates that there are indeed classes of programs that are quite easy to analyze. When you say "many specific instances of programs" I presume you don't literally mean hard-coded single instances of a program, but rather classes of programs that all are structurally similar. These classes do not always align nicely along with the usual classes in theoretical CS, but that doesn't mean they aren't useful.

For example a language consisting entirely of the holonomic functions with the usual semantics of them preserves symbolic integration, a nice little bit of analysis in the world of mathematical computing.
Bot is offensive as well, some people may identify as bots. Bots may have feelings too.

There are some AAA game engine and graphics developers actively using Rust in their main codebase like RAD and Embark, and many are Rust curious and using Rust for side projects or tools. It's true that it will be a while before wide Rust adoption happens in the game industry (if ever) and C++ will stay around for a while. As for tech in games moving slowly... there is some truth to that but some things also move much faster than web dev due to new consoles cycles with new hardware capabilities. It will take a LONG time for a SV startup to fully embrace WebGPU even when browser support is decent, on the other hand every AAA game engine has HW raytracing support
