I do understand his point. If you want content to be long-lived, requiring the execution of code to render it introduces a risk that it will become much more difficult to correctly render in future, if it's not maintained and updated.

I think it's a valid point to raise, but how much you care about it is going to depend hugely on what you're doing.
Exactly, expanding on this analogy monolith would be statically linked binary... just like go does it.
The speech portions of the brain were smaller in Neanderthals, which would have made them appear dimwitted to humans, which is how trolls are often depicted in folklore.

They are known to have lived in smaller social groups than humans, and trolls are depicted as living in small groups as well.

Neanderthals were larger than humans, and trolls are similarly depicted as large.
This has always troubled me as well, and have thought if it's possible that (a potentially well meaning) company (maybe Google in the early days?) Could employ a counsel alongside HR who is explicitly and legally required to have the employee's interest at heart? So if you have genuine worries that HR might not help you, you can go to them?

Context: 30-year old living in Israel

The Israeli system is slow. It's centrally-planned, and even with central-planning taking advantage of pre-existing distribution networks and patient record digitization, the planners still make mistakes with dose distribution. There are four HMOs in this country, one of them has too many doses for the current age tranche and hands them out to younger walk-ins in peripheral areas, two of the HMOs don't have enough and are slowing down the progress of the age tranche for everyone else.

As bad as the Israeli system is, honestly, it's about the best that can be done considering that vaccine distribution in Israel is supply-constrained. They had to stop giving out first doses for about a week until they could negotiate with Pfizer to move up the shipments. What shipments do come in are quickly distributed. As of yesterday, 45+ can make appointments.

The US healthcare system is a nightmare. But for all of the US healthcare system's many, many, many weaknesses, vaccine distribution is supposed to be a strength. Doses are mass-manufactured and cheap, about $15/dose. Private providers are supposed to be able to make their own dosage orders through their own pre-existing suppliers and be distributed through ordinary private logistics networks. Intense competition insures a minimum of dose wastage. The state can minimally regulate to ensure that supply chain participants have adequate refrigeration etc. If the state wants to prioritize frontline workers, the elderly, fine. The state is more than welcome to buy as many (cheap) doses as it wants on the open market, and distribute for free to whoever the state deems to be a priority. But if the state cannot adequately take advantage of the relative supply glut, and efficiently manage the total supply that is available, then the state shouldn't freeze out the private market on the excess!

What's the goal here? The goal is not to immunize the elderly, or frontline workers. The goal is to end the pandemic. That means getting R under 1.0, and that means mass immunizations. That frontline workers or the elderly represent theoretical optimizations in pursuit of that goal is clearly demonstrating to not work out in reality. Let the free market work!

Oh yeh for sure. I've had an HR women on the phone with me crying because she's so disturbed ny what happened but she had to pretend like she wasn't infront of my boss. She even told me 1:1 the man who refused to let me speak also refused to speak to her it was beneath him and he had another male deliver the message to her to fire me.

In the end she was useless to me and powerless and had as much power ad a caged parrot.

If they are not evil they are simply in control of determining nothing and just a euphemistic liaison for corporate abuse.

I have many war stories from companies like these. Never sign the paperwork right away. I was once given 23minutes to sign a severence agreement and found out later they violated state law: 21 days plus a 7 day walk back, and broke federal law by saying I couldn't have cobra health insurance if I didn't promise to shut up.

Typically a shut up you little bitch document also known as a separation agreement holds severence pay hostage, not healthcare. They also fired me days before I vested my equity and didn't tell me why. In my state you can fire anyone for any reason. They don't have to tell you why. Yeh it's really messed up.

Corporations are like small abusive dictatorships. Just try to find a decent one with good work who is successful enough to be focused on good engineering or whatever it is you do they don't need to bully and tear people down to protect themselves and get by in life.
I've had a real example of this! I've never even been overweight but a Japanese friend, who was an exchange student, would poke me in the stomach and if there was the slightest pudge he would yell "Hamburger!"

But this guy demands this for the whole league. So the thrown out players will immediately form a new TBL league (Tall Basketball Association), will get the contracts and teams and will easily bypass the old Dwarf NBA, because it has all the stars, whilst the old NBA has only the dwarfs, the regular folks.

I haven’t read through it, but the essence I believe is an emphasis on fitting components and techniques together rather than slavishly following recipes.

Similarly good (and maybe a good companion) is J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s YouTube channel. He basically wears a GoPro and cooks full meals with a very minimum number of cuts. You can see him make mistakes and adapt recipes to what he has on hand in real time. Watching a pro do that really made a lot of things click for me. His book (The Food Lab) and his articles on Serious Eats are also good, but his videos have really been extraordinary.
Somewhat: it enables library validation and getting rid of that will break Apple’s signature on it and render it unable to access its data vault. Plus, such a thing would be a significant amount of effort, especially on an “API” that isn’t designed for this at all…see ‘freediver’s comments above for an idea of how much work needs to go into implementing Web Extensions even with full, source-level control of the browser.

Those are top-tier professional staples. Mac users can't chose another Photoshop, because there's no other at that level (Affinity and co are great, but nowhere as comprehensive).

But even so, Photoshop, Premier and co, has ties to native functionality, gets the native look and feel for things like file dialogs and such, is quick to move to Apple Silicon / M1 natively (and even has a native iPad version, complete with native UI) and so on.

It's not some lowest-common-denominator cross platform affair, like most cross platform lesser GUI apps are.

Also, Word and co. Microsoft apps are not cross-platform. They are special codebases for macOS, complete with macOS native UI and everything.
Another way one can look at it, I think, is that if there is about one civilization per galaxy, then there are billions or trillions of civilizations, but practically speaking we might as well be alone.

It’s a pretty deep read I’d say. It’s improved a lot of my instincts in the kitchen (what’s a dish or pot missing) . Recipes are also nice but can be a cost trap until you generate a sense of what sorts of things you want to have stocked. For that I’d say stick to one grouping of recipes (like say, Italian) to get a basic idea of what “most” recipes use in that grouping. That will save you money as you won’t have to be going out for different new spices, canned goods and oils every time you cook.

A recent observations my co-founders and I also made are that companies are basically authoritarian regimes. This is probably necessary during the startup phase, but perhaps less so as the company matures.

Is there a precedent for moving from dictatorship/authoritarianism to democracy for company governance as it grows? One movement that shows up on the radar are zebras (vs. unicorns).

An analogy for this comes from the founding fathers of the USA. Washington had a lot of power as effectively the "CEO" of America, but gave up his power after 2 terms and further encouraged democratic governance and peaceful transfer of power.

The difference is banks don't inherently rely on directly converting electricity into currency at scale.
You don't. SaaS businesses come in 2 variants:

1. Failed product market fit. These will be for sale, but you won't want to buy them because operating them will cost more than the revenue they produce.

2. The market likes the product. In this case, the original owner can just hire people to do the work, so there's no reason to sell.
Remember the initial feeling of navigation by HJKL? And how hindbrain those keystrokes are now? It gets that way with onion-chopping (and everything else in the kitchen).

Take mise en place seriously. If the recipe calls for chopped onions, chop them before you turn on the burner. Later you can work on parallelizing the process (eg, chopping the onions while the bacon is rendering) but to start with, just work on getting all the pieces on the table before you start the chess clock. Delegate to sous-spouses or sous-children.

Rarely do you need to be a perfectionist. If you are sautéing or stewing or braising or souping, the onions cook down. Ceviche is a different matter. Baking may be more specific, but that kind of witchcraft is forbidden around here.
Even in a kitchen, you clean as you work. If all you do is cook, your work station is going to end up a mess, your mise en place will almost certainly go out the window, and you'll soon end up in the weeds. (source: I'm a former pastry chef)

lol. A generation of script kiddies too lazy to learn Java invented NodeJS, so they could run the toy version of Java on the server side. Then they have the audacity to claim the shoulders of giants upon which they stand should've been strong enough to comprehend JS rather than Java...even though those giants invented BOTH JS and Java before you were even born.

Here's a newsflash for you: if the Netscape inventors of JavaScript had been capable of making Java run in the browser then all you kids would be running Java instead of JS today.

The only reason JS exists at all is because early browsers had limited memory and CPU back in 1990s, so they cobbled something together over a weekend and named it JavaScript. Now that JS is running server side, these kids claim that's the way it should've been from the beginning. No, sorry JS is a train wreck compared to Java, which is why MSFT had to come to the rescue with TypeScript.
Many many of the recipes out there are terrible for exactly this reason and you have to read and reread the recipe at least a few times before starting. Plus the whole recipe internet is kinda a SEO cesspool which doesn’t prioritize good recipes.
At this point we find ourselves confronted by a very disquieting question: Do we really wish to act upon our knowledge? Does a majority of the population think it worthwhile to take a good deal of trouble, in order to halt and, if possible, reverse the current drift toward totalitarian control of everything? If the United States of America is the prophetic image of the rest of the urban-industrial world as it will be a few years from now — recent public opinion polls have revealed that an actual majority of young people in their teens, the voters of tomorrow, have no faith in democratic institutions, see no objection to the censorship of unpopular ideas, do not believe that government of the people by the people is possible and would be perfectly content, if they can continue to live in the style to which the boom has accustomed them, to be ruled, from above, by an oligarchy of assorted experts. That so many of the well-fed young television-watchers in the world’s most powerful democracy should be so completely indifferent to the idea of self-government, so blankly uninterested in freedom of thought and the right to dissent, is distressing, but not too surprising. “Free as a bird,” we say, and envy the winged creatures for their power of unrestricted movement in all the three dimensions. But, alas, we forget the dodo. Any bird that has learned how to grub up a good living without being compelled to use its wings will soon renounce the privilege of flight and remain forever grounded. Something analogous is true of human beings. If the bread is supplied regularly and copiously three times a day, many of them will be perfectly content to live by bread alone — or at least by bread and circuses alone.

The only reason I'm not bullish on Microsoft is because I don't know where else they can expand to. Teams is growing in Microsoft shops. There are a LOT of these; if these shops had real-time chat, it took the form of either something like Skype (useless) or a half-dozen siloed Slack servers started by employees (no company-wide benefit). So, they add on Teams; usually its already in the plan they're paying for. Suddenly they realize how alluring real-time chat can be. I'm not convinced its actually more productive for what people use it for, but that's irrelevant to real-time chat's ability to fool you (and the administrators) into thinking its increasing productivity, and that's all that matters for usage.

But how does Microsoft reap that into something meaningful? They're not monetizing the app store (that I've seen); they're not monetizing the entire product; maybe it increases lockin, but most of these companies are so lockedin anyway they were never leaving. The argument for data sharing is interesting, but: I hate Microsoft with a feverish passion, and even I'll admit that if they were sharing/correlating significant employee data beyond the firewall of some AD/Teams/whatever instance, they'd have a lot of very angry customers on their hands. I don't see them doing that.

I'm biased, but I'm still bearish on them just because their reliable revenue centers are becoming less and less diversified. Yeah, Azure/365. What else do they have? Windows is more and more irrelevant. Browser; lost the war. Github; an expensive side-business. Xbox; a billion dollar money pit with their leaders at the top praying for Halo Infinite. Consumer hardware; nothing. Linkedin; its like Facebook, everyone hates it but everyone has one. If all of their revenue growth is in Cloud, that's still a ton of growth to reap, but I'm not sure it justifies a valuation previously assigned to the 2000s-era multi-disciplinary conglomerate Microsoft was. Amazon is fully capable of (at least) keeping pace with Azure's growth here, and they're also the biggest retailer on the planet with an unassailable operations network. I think, over the next five years, it'll be increasingly "weird" how those two companies are priced so similarly.
What I wonder: is a well run feudal system more successful business wise than a democracy? A democracy sounds nice but I have experienced that it slows down a business because everybody wants to participate and speak their mind. No decision is accepted but constantly challenged. Progress is slowed down. Maybe we just did “the wrong way”. But still.

On the other hand the most successful company on this planet Apple is clearly not run as a democracy. So, I really wonder if a hierarchical system works better if you want to have a successful business.

You gotta sell everyone involved in the benefits.

Convince the devs that you're not just giving them make-work to do, get the execs to buy in on giving you the space to do what must be done.

Keep the pitch focused, you're not selling them on a rewrite after all, just on better practices.

A code review process means fewer defects and better ramp up on changes made across the code base.

A clean codebase is going to make future changes easier, faster, and less buggy. It's also going to help with engineer retention.

Execs don't really care about fiddly perfectionism or process or even technical debt. So speak their language.

Engineering can be done on short notice, but running up the pressure is only going to result in a broken product. If you can't get the execs to stop pressuring developers directly, it's a lost cause.

For the devs, they need automation and clear benefit. If you just tell them to start doing code review it writing tests, the starting friction is going to be too high.

Instead, give them working PR templates that reduce how much typing they'd have to do. Give them build scripts that test the code cleanly in one step. Plan some mob programming sessions and write some tests together.

Most importantly, you have to get everyome on the team in a (virtual or otherwise) room and have them choose the standards themselves. You can't mandate things like test coverage percentage targets or code formatting standards without the devs feeling like it was something that they all agreed on.

Then, make it your personal business to follow up with automation to back it up. Get some plug and play static analysis tools in there to enforce whatever test coverage minimums were agreed on. Build formatting and linting into a pre-commit hook so they never have to think about it. Take as much friction as you can it of it so that even the most pressured dev can see the value in writing some tests for the new feature.

You have to get them from agreeing to trying it these new processes to getting value out of those processes as quickly as possible.

> it's pretty dead simple and cheap to make some miso soup, some kind of stir fried veggie dish, sear a piece of fish and throw in some tsukemono from the market

Sure if you are going for the lowest of low effort you can make something edible, but that doesn’t mean it’s tasty nor something one would like to eat everyday. The miso soup meme is funny once a week but let’s be honest and not pretend it has good nutritional value. The pork soup is a way better upgrade but it already requires two times more ingredients and more step and doing a steak and fries. One time a friend cooked a ratatouille plus some meat aside for three persons and it’s cost us 2000 yen each... (ok I could have lowered the price by 500 but not more given how expensive vegetables are)

In fact your message hints at the root of the problem when mentioning your wife: the Japanese cuisine is based on the model of the housewife who had a full day to go shopping for various ingredients, do many processing steps, use various sauces and let things soak in it to prepare the 3-4 side dish of a Japanese meal for a family. This kind of organization is impossible for a working people living alone.

I don't believe so. I am an Emacs user and I wouldn't trade it for the world, but I know people that are increadible productive using just about anything.

When writing well-contained code where I can easily understand external dependencies I could just as well use notepad. Emacs shines when I want macros or multiple cursors, interactive development (I am a schemer) at just general code navigation. When doing things that are not scheme I could probably edit code just fine in just about any editor.

The only things I really miss in other editors (probably because I never looked) are the features for jumping around. I can jump to a definition (across files) in 1s which sets a "mark" from the place I left. Jumping back takes less than a second. I could of course do it, but it was more involved and I couldn't do it without having to think and let go of what was in my mind at the time.

Anyway, you grow into your editing style. A friend told me he would likely get seizures by developing like me.

For the sake of argument, Ok. I'll not argue with that. I shall assume that the context of the situation justified the ban.

But why then did Twitter quote two tweets? The tweets do not support the decision. They could just have said "based on context off Twitter, we are banning Trump".

The fact that they didn't makes me think they were scrambling and not thinking clearly. Their reading of the tweets is bizarre. Or maybe they being dishonest about their reasoning.
