This is exactly right.

If a project is well-described then 90% of the real production work should be tracked by the project framework. You mark task X done to tell your current self, your future self and your manager that, at this moment, you think you did X.

Getting meat together in a room to make flapping mouth sounds is mostly useful when kicking around concepts and planning the future.

I spent most of last year with a boss who kept saying "I really want you to come in, just in case you have a question." He said this during a growing pandemic.

In my field we deal with buildings and my boss was in sales, so that meant I saw him maybe four hours out of a week.

I'm supposed to commute five hours a week and sit in a dangerously non-masked office forty hours a week in case I have a question too complicated to handle over e-mail or video? When our product is specifically remote control?

What this suggests is that management doesn't know its job well enough to describe it in words.

I'm now 100% remote at a job that pays more and is higher profile and I'm accomplishing more in a day than I was in a week.
You should mention the DSM is purely an American text, while the ICD is what's used most everywhere else. This the DSM primarily captures the zeitgeist of American psychiatric opinion.
Nether X11 nor the web are stable. They are hulking behemoths that require the constant effort of lots of skilled programmers to keep working and up-to-date with the rapidly moving ecosystem around them. X11 cannot keep up with new hardware. The web cannot keep up with its maintenance load. They're well beyond the point of redemption.

In fact, they're both classic examples of the opposite approach to what my article argues for: they did not start saying "no" to ideas. They never constrained their scope to focus on stability and longevity. A website which works today could easily be broken tomorrow, which has only become true in recent memory. These are excellent examples of the consequences of not holding true to the ethos I describe.
Hospitals are quickly filling up, young people need hospitals as much as anyone. What's your suggestion, allow elderly covid patients to die at home?
You don't generally get TVP by itself. It's very bland and has almost no fat, so it doesn't taste like much.

You generally buy it as one ingredient in a fake-meat product. You can find it at some "natural foods" stores and online, but it's much cheaper to manufacturers as a bulk product than at a consumer level. They use it to make some pretty effective fake meats, though the high-profile ones (like Impossible and Beyond) use related-but-different products.

I'd say it's almost in "just works" territory for everyone except the person who has to actually administer the homeserver (me). I absorb a lot of the complexity for my friends.

The only thing that's a little cumbersome is requiring them to enter a custom server URL when the register/log in for the first time.
It is debatable that "It is immoral". Me and clearly Assange disagree with you about it.
"Mr. Assange’s mental health would deteriorate causing him to commit suicide with the “single minded determination” of his autism spectrum disorder."

This would be entirely speculative for an MD let alone a Judge who doesn't really know what 'autism' is.

So it's possibly a good outcome but based on bad legal proceedings.

We're supposed to be 'advanced countries' why can't we get simple things right?
The book helps -- clocks deeper in a gravitational potential run slow relative to those higher in the potential.

As I recall from Hartle, to paraphrase: "The experimentalists in the basement live longer than the theorists upstairs, but the view is worth it." My recollection from the associated problem is that the difference, over a lifetime, is microseconds.

MTW won't give even that much aid :). Good luck with your studies; there's a lot to learn.
Asserting that 'nobody "worships the US dollar' is an astonishing claim.

Loads of people do in fact 'worship the US dollar'.

Perhaps there is a semantic disagreement at hand.

But I have no idea what you are getting at when lob advice like: 'should seriously reconsider who you're hanging out with'.

That type of comment does not help move the conversation forward.
Is there a paywall workaround? Articles are off-topic for HN if they are paywalled with no workaround.
I had a feeling yosys might do it somehow. Thanks.
Ha, thanks. Went past spam and straight to trash for some reason. First time I've seen that from a signup.
It's instructive to think about how these things come to be. Yes, a bunch of people are duped and spreading this around, but somewhere out there, there's someone who took a schematic of a guitar pedal and relabeled it. Maybe they're just in it for the lols, or maybe they have some other motivation.
There with you on the nightmare aspect, but having spent time in tech, powerful looking but meaningless is a big selling point. It's representative and preformative. It's like when an enterprise customer says, "I know your product does this thing, but I need it to show everyone else it's doing it, and how sophisticated it is so they come to me to get it done!"

A product doesn't need to solve a problem (looking at you, every security product ever), it needs to let the customer demonstrate value to their own coalition. The point of KITT was it made the Hoff look cool without the cost and risk of a sidekick co-star. I wouldn't replicate the dash, but I would certainly use it as a reference example for something that did that job.

Great links, such a strange thing to be discussing a 40yr old fictional talking car.
Not sure. She has one of those fiber boxes with branded router provided by the operator. I should try to access it next time I visit her - it might have some sort of parental control.
Things like the "where do I get masks" map don't seem antithetical to personal privacy the way a contact tracing tool is. That's pretty low-hanging fruit that we didn't appear to make any attempt to pick.
At a certain point, does automation/robotics swing the manufacturing base back towards the west?
51% attack does not correlate at all with owning 51% of the coins, it is about having 51% of the network hashrate. If you were to round up the current network hashrate from 145 million TH/s to 150 million TH/s, and use the Nicehash price of ~$219 per PH per hour as a price, it would cost around $15B to run a 51% attack for an hour. Obviously the price per PH would go up as you buy up that much hashpower (which wouldn't even be for sale), so this is a low end estimate, but your $300bn number is completely out of the park.
I saw the world "mindful", and groaned.
So now the rule is:

"Golf clubs can open but the club house have to stay shut"

Then you have to think of all the other sports and possible places people can gather and make rules about those too. My point was that the rules have to be simple otherwise people won't read them.

I do agree with that however if you truly represent the citizens why would you vote for something that is demonstrably contrary to their will? Granted they probably are counting on that by election time this particular vote may be forgotten or outweighed by other factors. Probably more disingenuous than tyrannical but still..
I would think that would have just encouraged the "creative" interpretations of the constitution in use now to justify themselves

My favorite conspiracy: Epstein killed himself.
I think you're missing the fundamental point made in your citation - whether you suffer from technical debt or not, you can solve the problem without rewriting from scratch. Again, quote from the article cited above:

> There’s a subtle reason that programmers always want to throw away the code and start over. The reason is that they think the old code is a mess. And here is the interesting observation: they are probably wrong. The reason that they think the old code is a mess is because of a cardinal, fundamental law of programming:

> It’s harder to read code than to write it.

> [...] Even fairly major architectural changes can be done without throwing away the code. On the Juno project we spent several months rearchitecting at one point: just moving things around, cleaning them up, creating base classes that made sense, and creating sharp interfaces between the modules. But we did it carefully, with our existing code base, and we didn’t introduce new bugs or throw away working code.

> A second reason programmers think that their code is a mess is that it is inefficient. The rendering code in Netscape was rumored to be slow. But this only affects a small part of the project, which you can optimize or even rewrite. You don’t have to rewrite the whole thing. When optimizing for speed, 1% of the work gets you 99% of the bang.

> Third, the code may be doggone ugly. One project I worked on actually had a data type called a FuckedString. Another project had started out using the convention of starting member variables with an underscore, but later switched to the more standard “m_”. So half the functions started with “_” and half with “m_”, which looked ugly. Frankly, this is the kind of thing you solve in five minutes with a macro in Emacs, not by starting from scratch.
> Boris portrays the variant as a kind random piece of bad luck

It’d be hilarious if UK blamed China for engineering the virus in the lab at the same time. Or they do?
I've done the same - tag EBS volumes with metadata rather than having to maintain a separate datastore for a tiny amount of information. Worked well.
Thinking about SV as just adtech is pretty reductionist. Through another lens, SV basically solved big data and global software distribution and scalability.

Big tech has contributed to both the tools that allow handling massive data streams and ML. That foundation is what is helping data-driven manufacturing companies pull ahead.
Whose?

Bulls trot out the "Bitcoin to $1M" trope all the time, that hardly seems stabilized to me.
Alcohol spreads COVID. Not exactly ... but it breaks down social barriers and can cause people to be careless. If we had banned or at least curtailed alcoholic sales I can guarantee you probably the numbers would be half what they are now. A big problem is that once you close pubs clubs and other outlets then people start having secret house parties and these are very hard to police. I guarantee you, that even the best intentioned host will have a super spreader event on their hands before long. It doesn’t take many - 10 even to churn the virus among themselves and then head off home to give it to whomever is there.

I’m really sorry that you feel your rights are being curtailed, but what we are living through is hopefully a once in a lifetime event that if we could have just knuckled down at the start and endured some discomfort we would be pretty much over it by now.

So much for that “blitz spirit” all we hear is moan moan moan ...

While the package did not have a return address, the contents of the letter referenced various conspiracy theories, including that aliens have launched attacks on earth, which indicated it was likely from Warner, News Channel 5 said.

It sounds like they are guessing it was from him. Hopefully there are more conclusive writings from him that indicate a mapping to these beliefs. The agents pulled many grocery bags of items from his home, so I am looking forward to what is in their report.
Lockdowns trade away the life, health, mental health, education, and social development of children and young people for the safety of less than 1% of the population that are either aged or unhealthy as it is, and who can be protected in other ways.

And even mentioning this cost, which is becoming quite extreme (look at youth suicidality numbers, and childhood depression rates), causes you to be accused of not caring about elderly people.

The devastation that Covid lockdowns have caused will last far longer than the disease itself.
If England stopped football there'd be riots the next day.
> But is that what we mean when we say "without censorship", really?

yes it is. no technology will suddenly make censorhip go away. but technology can allow one to circumvent censorship. bitcoin doesn't solve censorship, corruption, fascism, genocide and whatever else you may want to throw in to justify your skepticism, but it doesn't have to. it solves a very specific problem: non-debaseable digital money and permission-less transacting of it. that comes with a set of compromises and great deal of responsibility for your actions, but it's a useful and valuable tool, first of it's kind and certainly the biggest revolution in finance since gold standard.

Guessing that people who want AMD are waiting for the 5000s to become more available and not buying as many 3000s, and/or "giving up" and buying Intel.
British politicians would want to secure the support of the USA, whether for themselves or for their country. Especially so after brexit.
This reminds me of how the Massachusetts governor closed hair salons and golf courses ... between the hours of 9:30 pm and 5 am. I'm sure ladies getting their hair done at midnight were the real super spreaders /s.

Honestly, its not hard to see how government's hypocrisy and inconsistency fuels conspiracy theories. Another example is the Massachusetts mask mandate that explicitly requires masks when nobody is near you. I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt, that this is just to remove ambiguity and make enforcement easier. But its not hard to imagine the reaction of someone who is prone to tinfoil hatting when they are told they must always wear a mask outside, even if miles away from the nearest human.
I agree with you that the immediate start-up and feedback is a great benefit to the coder. This is why I dislike complex, Rube-Goldbergian REPL systems.

There is a use-case for a throw-away interaction with a REPL. For example, how does $builtinFuncX work, or how would $data best be imported into a structure?

A REPL can also be a good initial approach to a more ambitious problem. In this case, a REPL can be good for focus and discipline.

If the second case is going to answer your concern and be constructive, it's necessary to be able to build the code for sharing and cleanly export the code for re-use.

I've had success tackling challenges using REPLs for Python and Perl [1] in both ways. But no tooling is going to solve the problem of a sloppy teammate who claims success just because "it compiles" and "it works on my box". A person who knows how to build good tooling goes further.

No - but lots of places (particularly pubs) had started doing takeaway alcohol last year in order to have _some_ sales, there was some general restriction-lifting to help with that kind of thing.

There's of course not any evidence that it's a meaningful contributor to infection, but lockdown is such a crude tool that it's going to hit it regardless.
The same reason why we have limits of where and when you can buy alcohol - because it's a licensed drug.

Why are people confused about this?
> my current logic is to use cursor: pointer on anything that visually looks like a link (e.g. unstyled text), and to leave it as default for components that have a visual affordance that they are clickable (e.g. buttons or tabs). I realize this might not be the most web-like convention though - might be worth it to just move all clickable components to the pointer cursor.

The cursor isn't the only problem. The way you present the screenshot fundamentally looks like a functional profile. It isn't just that the links look like links but aren't clickable. Text also isn't selectable. In general, it's in the uncanny valley that feels really uncomfortable. Consider making it look very obviously like a sample screenshot: caption it at the top, move it to the side beside (rather than above) the explanation of the site, layer a couple of profiles atop each other so they look like "sheets", or similar. Those would help trip people's "ah, it's a sample screenshot" pattern recognition.
We were sold down the river by our own elites, particularly on Wall Street and with the full complicity of the Economics Departments of the west.

"Comparative Advantage", something something about corn and wool, meanwhile the whole supply chain was moved to China, our middle class was decimated and we went into tremendous amounts of debt to pretend everything was fine...

Left, right... whatever. The elites have failed us.
Yeah, lockdown parties are a basic human right.
At least with pokemon, my friends and I all collected cards growing up, and none of us ever played the game (mainly because we were children who didn't understand the rules).
The article cited makes a strong argument for why you should not write from scratch, even with immense technical debt - and offers alternatives.

Yes, you have a link to click on as opposed to no link to click on.
> Limiting the consumption seems logical.

Lots of "plans" seem logical and this is precisely why technocracy is a vexation on society.

Unintended consequences. The presumption of knowledge and control.

All of these elite presumptions are illusory and fundamentally hubristic.

You know why "limiting the consumption" of alcohol is a dumb suggestion? We have tons of evidence that it was a massive failure: Prohibition and the War on Drugs.

No matter how well-intended you are - it'll backfire and people will ignore it.

Humans are fundamentally social creatures. Millions of years of evolution have seared into their biology the instinct to be social.

The idea that we can force humans into acting against their fundamental instincts to socialize is folly. Not only folly - but abuse.

But seriously, it's bizarre. The obdurance of so-called experts set on working against the grain of every human instinct, as though that's likely to maximize the success of their plans.
Yeah I need to do something about that. But there's also a lot of meat on those bones if you scroll through.
Everybody is asking the hard questions and the hard answer is that it is downright impossible to isolate the most vulnerable from the general population. Tried and attempted in multiple places; turns out you only need one nurse, one doctor, one caretaker, one young kid in a large household to infect those people.

Maybe, just maybe, the experts (and I mean the people who have spent their lifetimes studying the transmission of respiratory diseases) have already weighed in, their answers don't look that different from when things started, and their assessments turned out to be mostly correct?
