I don't so much want to wade into the reparations question. I find a lot to agree with in Rayiner's position and a lot to think about in the concerns of people who worry that it would be impossible to administer.

All I have to contribute is the fact that whatever the impact of slavery was, it wasn't confined to our distant past. This country practiced economic apartheid well into my own lifetime, and the aftereffects are impossible to miss.

I live near Division and Chicago, just outside of Chicago in Oak Park. If I cross my alley and the street behind it, Austin Blvd, I'm in the Chicago neighborhood of Austin, where, if I'm a teenaged Black kid, my likelihood of being murdered shoots up dramatically. And Austin is a middle-class neighborhood (a typical Black household making $75k/yr lives in a higher-poverty neighborhood than a white family making $40k/yr). What changes when you cross that street is that you cross a famous redlining boundary.

A few years back you could easily get a map of Chicago redlining without consulting an encyclopedia or doing any research; you just needed to look at Uber's Chicago service map. The neighborhoods they wouldn't commit to serving were uncannily the redlined neighborhoods of the 1960s.

It wasn't because Uber was trying to perpetuate the practice, but because redlining ravaged west- and south-side Chicago, and we are nowhere close to digging our way out of it.

Lots of different groups of people have been economically disadvantaged in the United States, but I don't think anything like this, at this scale, with this impact. It fucked my city --- the best city in the country --- right up. It fucked up Detroit. It fucked up STL. It's a big deal and we should all be freshly furious about it.

NYPD is extremely corrupt. I know someone who became an officer there and quit and moved to long island due to the pressure for corruption/hazing/etc.

Imagine being a Beijing loyalist living in Canada.

I'm not sure what a pfovkt is. Bubonic plague CAN be spread by (fleas on) mice or rats. But historically it was not, at least not in Europe. The most recent outbreaks in Europe in the 19th century were carried by lice. We know this for certain. Looking back at historical outbreaks in the Middle Ages and early modern period, the information about how the plague spread is consistent with lice, not rats as the vector. For example, people sharing the same bed and sheets get sick, but not people in adjoining houses sharing the same walls and garden. The outbreak of the great plague in London is not near the quarantine docks as one would expect, but rather a poor area on the completely other side which was known to be a site of prostitution. It then spread largely along class lines through communities with poor hygiene, largely skipping affluent areas even when there was nothing that would have prevented rats from moving through.

I think some CS grads come out of school with a lack of practical framework knowledge, i mean like React or Ruby on Rails, rather than spend 5 months learning/building on their own, these top tier students choose to learn/build in a managed environment so it takes them 3 rather than 5 months. They are promised assistance with applying to jobs as well which can be a nerve wrecking process for a university grad. If you have the money and want to jump into the work force ASAP it makes sense to me.

The in person bootcamps ive found have had great community vibes to them. Fun being surrounded by fellow students/teachers, schools all have fun/studious/interesting faculty and students.

I taught the first few weeks of a FREE intro to software engineering bootcamp and had a few lower tier university CS grads who were happy with the curriculum/services rendered, they would just tune me out when i was covering something they already knew and would study/program while the less informed students would work through problems/Q/A with me.

I bought Ben's kits and built the 8 bit breadboard computer. It was the most educational experience I've ever had learning computer architecture. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a lot of work though and breadboards are fraught with issues.

The difference between this and the apple-1 though is that Ben's computer is effectively a third gen computer on breadboard, whereas the apple-1 is pure fourth gen. I guess the fair comparison is ben's 6502 kit.

I did suggest some kind of filtering where more technical questions could be passed on to developers. You would also expect the completely unrelated questions to be filtered.

But don't underestimate the power of the experience, if you've got 100 support tickets asking where the 'login' button is, maybe you'll be motivated to label it clearly with the word 'login' and not some icon that requires interpretation.

If you think about it, the power of agile development has really come from being more customer requirements focused, with quick rounds of feedback and review on deliverables and milestones. If you abstract the developers away from the feedback, how on earth can you expect them to make a decent end result?

I appreciate the humbleness of this writeup. The dev asked others for help explaining the code, and eventually the bug was solved by someone on another team completely! And there's no shame in that (nor should there be), but my pride or fear of inadequacy might have made me feel otherwise.

Theoretically, ReScript will support ReasonML syntax, and theoretically ReasonML can still be used for native development.

The messaging isn't clear on ReasonML's future at ALL though. Is it essentially deprecated until the full switch to ReScript happens? The Rescript FAQ mentions changes will be additive in supporting ReasonML, and they will track new features to OCaml, but will they track new features to Reason? Will anyone actively develop Reason anymore?

I don't know about "per week" but definitely from time to time.

I've run some B2B companies selling to the enterprise and always had each member of the exec team come along on a sales call every quarter (obviously different calls!). This has been especially valuable for the CFO, the most inward-facing of executives. It's surprisingly common for the CFO not to really know what the product is beyond what's in the company's own sales literature and what comes through by what's discussed on the P/L. Very enlightening.

Night trains are only cool and romantic if you can afford a decent spot. Otherwise it's a long literal nightmare of being woken up constantly through the night as people get on and off, rattling or opening your cabin's door, border checks, waking up with a start to see if someone is picking your pocket or wandering off with your backpack, watching as guard shakes down one of the other people in your room in another language and you having no idea what's going on until money changes hands, loud noises from weird places, horrible bathrooms, cramped space, and more.

>Personally I would ban resistive heating, they are generally in lower cost rentals, student properties etc and cost a lot for the tenant to use especially as these tenants are generally at the poorer side of the fence.

You mean the radiant / bar heater type ones? I cannot agree with this, while I agree that they're expensive to run and inefficient for heating rooms / whole house, they do work well if you use them to directly heat only the part of the room you're in.

I've lived in old houses where the ceilings are too high to effectively heat via convection (e.g. a modern 5x5x2.4 room is 60m^3 volume, while an old house with the same width and length but 3.6 metre ceilings is 90m^3 of volume to heat - combine that with inferior ceiling insulation common in old houses and the fact that hot air rises, the space often cools faster than the convection heater can keep up) and there was no natural gas service, so we just had to sit in front of radiant heaters.

You make it sound like newcomers came and built a viable city for existing Californians. It’s not like California was a wasteland before ‘new comers’ arrived. ‘New comers’ have always been entering California.

The new comers came because California already had an ecosystem and infrastructure in place built ready made for them to thrive.

New comers are not subsidizing existing property owners. They ..and their children use the infrastructure already in place that is subsidized for them.

People with children older than 18 or with no kids have no use for public schools. Since property taxes are being used to fund public education, it’s essentially everyone subsidizing public education. For all. And this includes renters, undocumented immigrants, legal immigrants, those who pay taxes and those who don’t. Everyone. That’s what’s free public education means. For everyone in CA as public school fund budget is redistributed to all counties in California and not just the zip code it’s collected from...

Tweaking Prop 13 won’t miraculously get us better roads or infrastructure. Or affordable housing. It will only go to fix the gap of the unfunded pension liabilities of unionized teachers[1]. Wages account for 60-80% of school budgets. Public education accounts for 44% of state budget. Almost all of property taxes goes towards public education.

I am still not what to think about Assange. WikiLeaks did great things in the early days, and I was half convinced the affair in Sweden was a set-up. If it was not, Sweden would have been the place to put him on trial. And not to use it as am excuse to arrest in Britain to have him extradited to the US.

That being said, it seems WikiLeaks was at least complicit in Russia propaganda operations. And we have no way to tell whether that would have happened without the arrest. Complicated story. And still a trial I hate to see, if Assange gets convicted, there is no way to be sure that doesn't happen to other journalists as well.

The rent-seeking cartels strike again.

I think Emerson is apposite here: "When you strike at a king, you must kill him.”

Attacking an entrenched monopoly or cartel is pretty hard to bootstrap. When you are small you can make progress as you are invisible to the big guys. Once you start to ve visible they will reach out and crush you long before you can pose a threat.

Legal efforts like NoLo have survived because they don't threaten the kinds, but merely replace small lawyers.

The only paths I've seen work (and they are very hard) against the cartels are 1 - to slowly build a movement, so by the time it is visible it is actually already too big to crush. This requires recruiting all sorts of allies, like (in this case) some significant law firms, which means figuring out for them what's in it for them. Or 2 - get a bit of traction and then raise so much money that you can in fact stand up to the big guys. But you need a business model that pays the investors back. Also not easy.
