I genuinely wonder what cancel culture is going to look like in the next 5-10 years and beyond. Just about everyone I speak to about the subject agrees that cancel culture is bad but very few people seem willing to confront it. I sense that people hope the rest of society will come to its senses and we all stop being so judgemental.

But as much as I loathe cancel culture and it's chilling effects on the free exchange of ideas, I can't help but admit that it seems to work. From a detached and objective standpoint, an ideology that utilizes cancel culture is really good at stamping out opposition. You are free to think and believe whatever you want in private and then you self-censor in public out of fear. It takes a certain critical mass of people to affect change and cancel culture excels at keeping individuals from speaking out because the consequences have the potential to ruin your life.

So all that being said, I genuinely wonder if cancel culture is here to stay, because the next ideology to come along will also realize how powerful of a tool it is.

> There's finally an effort to update the Haskell spec

That's great to hear!

But in the future it would also be great if Haskell took a route similar to Rust.

In Rust, extensions (called features) only work on the nightly compiler. On stable and beta compilers, they produce an error. Only once they are officially accepted and finalized will they work on stable.

That gives both users and compiler/std lib developers the freedom to experiment, but prevents a proliferation of a complicated feature matrix and centralizes the ecosystem on a coherent language spec.

This has worked out really well. In the early days many users were stuck nightly because of essential features, but by now libraries are expected to work on stable.
But then, what are the norms and injunctions that this new generation will break...

> Introducing AI into work relations is

We don't really know what it is simply because we haven't introduced any "real" AI anywhere, let alone:

>> some form of general purpose but not quite full AI

Talking about efficiency as you scale up large organizations, it's inevitable that humans will introduce delays and variability in the work which cannot be eliminated because it's human nature, biologically and psychologically. Since humans can't change on a timescale that makes this discussion relevant, the only way for very large organizations (like large companies or governments) to operate just as efficiently as small ones is if they rely (quasi)exclusively on some AI that's as capable as top individuals at delivering results but with fewer of the drawbacks. Not only would it not operate as 100.000 distinct entities but as one or a few, it would also run consistently and predictably.

> There's also a ton of people who will delight in cherry-picking your story, as justification for not expanding the social safety net. "throwaway-0987 did it, and you can too! You just need to stop being so lazy"

> we as a society should do more to help people who are caught in a poverty trap, especially because of poor decisions made when they were teenagers. Just because someone ran a 4-minute-mile doesn't mean it's reasonable to expect everyone to do so.

Yes. Thank you. Lots of people start out poor and make it out. I did. Many friends did. But just as many did not. And it had _zero_ to do with "hard work". Almost all of it had to with the lack of a robust safety need and the need to (endlessly) prioritize survival.
Not sure, I think with socio-political frameworks - as with programming - the devil is in the detail. Everybody is equal no matter what? Sounds great, but the detailed implementations of that have sucked so far and didn't match the interface spec anyways. As a matter of fact even smaller legislations in the sphere of taxes might need a lot of people doing a lot of calculations behind the scenes. It's not that a single politician comes up with a new tax scheme including a percentage and this just works. If done properly, it needs to be checked if it can actually be financed.

The biggest issue with Malthusian predictions is that humans are Earth’s greatest resources. Nature is very unforgiving. It is human cultivation and exploitation of natural resources that allows for humans to thrive. The more we can educated and develop our population, the higher the chance of breakthroughs that enable us to support even more people with the same amount of raw resources.

If something isn't more valuable to you than its price, why would you buy it?

If $Y > $X and $Y < $VALUE_TO_YOU, how would it be unethical to optimize prices to find $Y?
I got two Moskva 5's on eBay more than a decade ago, and learned a ton about photography using them. No light meter, crappy viewfinder were the downsides, but it provided two frame sizes (6x6 / 6x9) for the negative, which gives so much more detail than 35mm. Also fits in a (very large) pocket... finally, it's just a very beautiful, if fairly simple, piece of equipment. Photography can seem like high-tech magic but when you strip away the bells and whistles and learn how to estimate exposures with simple math based on light conditions and film ISO, it feels much more elemental and was quite fun.

I still have a few rolls of 120 film in the fridge but no idea where I'd get them developed anymore.

In France, a surprisingly large number of people, probably because our reputation for bending rules is well-deserved. The number of high profile politicians who got re-elected after being sentenced is very high. Alain Juppe was even about to run for president, in spite of not having an exactly pristine record.

It's no surprise in this context that it took forever to sentence Jacques Chirac!

Things have been slowly changing over the past 10 years though, with popular opinion being less tolerant.

>I think you lose out on the security aspect

Can you clarify what you mean by this? I love the idea of unlocking and running admin stuff with my watch but kinda gave up on the idea because I assumed there would be security implications. After thinking about it a little more, though, I haven't really been able to come up with anything that didn't already require physical access to my machine and some way to authenticate (password or fingerprint). Since you have to authenticate your device to authenticate the watch and it un-authenticates any time it's removed, it seems like you don't lose anything security-wise.
Engineers like Ben are unicorns, one out of Billions of people.

For most engineers, competition are non existent. Just simply keeping up with tech stack and delivering solutions is enough to place in top 1% of engineers.

Yes, 1x engineers are just as valuable and rare as 10x or 100x engineers. Because vast majority of engineers, including engineers in FAANG companies, are negative producers.

Simply being in it for paycheck and being 1x engineers will have long lucrative career.
And this will be the third time that I've written the phrase "not entirely free of this behaviour", in comparison with the implementations that are entirely free of this behaviour.
>There is no affordable housing or transportation in 95% of the North American land area

This just isn't true. The majority of the US has cheap housing. The person who wrote the article lives in Pheonix where you can get houses for 200k or under. Like this perfectly good 3 bed 2 br for 200k:

https://www.redfin.com/AZ/Phoenix/8520-W-Palm-Ln-85037/unit-...

Housing costs are out of control in a handful of places in the US. In the rest of them it's as cheap as ever. Or even cheaper given the very low interest rates.

It can be stupid cheap to live in the US. Rent a room for $4-500, buy a late model Toyota for $5k, and eat like a poor person. It's pretty easy to accumulate enough money to break the cycle of poverty.

The big pitfall is health. If you're sick then yeah you're pretty screwed. But outside of that as long as you avoid unplanned kids, jail, and drugs it's pretty smooth sailing

We don't require candidates to be passionate about programming but we do want them to be passionate about something. We don't care if that something is gardening, playing in a heavy metal band, or code.

I would rather work alongside someone who has some enthusiasm for something in life than someone who has none. In fact it would make me not want to go to work if no one there has any excitement for anything. Hiring decisions are not purely company-profit driven, how much people enjoy their work environment directly affects burnout, work/life satisfaction, and desire to improve/grow.

> Starship is awesome. But we don’t have JUST 757s and 777s. We also have smaller utility aircraft.

This, and the rest of your comment, is quite reasonable.

What it mostly comes down to is $/kg -> orbit. I know Musk constantly over-promises, but there's at least a good chance that Starship/Superheavy will get their total per launch cost below a million dollars. Perhaps well below that. Gwynne Shotwell, someone known for being almost infinitely more realistic than Musk, has stated multiple times that she firmly believes Starship will become a viable on-Earth passenger/cargo carrier.

And that can only happen if a Starship/Superheavy total launch/mission cost is on the order of a long-haul aircraft. That is, well less than a million dollars.

It's also possible that the fundamental physics of Earth surface -> LEO in a fully re-usable way can only be done with large machines. As an analogy: I'm not aware of any 'not large' machines that can transport anything economically across Earth's oceans. The physics, as I understand it, just don't allow it.

Having said all that, I love the hell out of all of the innovation and potential competition coming around in this area. That's the best way to really test the assumptions (many of which I've just stated) that might be holding us back.

I combine FancyZones and TidyTabs, and it nearly gives me the tabbed-panes interface that I want.
Particularly when said battery is not accustomed and likely not even designed for such high power loads. This battery would be only used for vehicle accessories, electronics, etc... Not even as a "cranking" battery as would be the case in a vehicle with an internal combustion engine.

The battery in the Tesla was likely sized and designed with this in mind also.
Besides the fact that you have to walk the string just to find the length of it...

Null-terminated strings try to save space by encoding the string length by convention. This can fail due to off-by-one errors, mistakenly allocating a fixed buffer, strings that have an unexpected null in them, and more.

Those can lead to all kinds of nasty problems like buffer overflows, which allow someone who can craft an input to write arbitrary stuff into memory.

God only knows how many security vulnerabilities and performance problems could be traced back to null terminated strings.
> Text always work

Windows vs Linux end-of-line markers often screws-up things. UTF often screws-up things. Tab-vs-space sometimes screws-up things. Text is related to Postel's principle, which is often questioned because it leads to sloppy implementations on one side and complex implementations on the other side, and other bug-is-now-a-feature niceties.

I designed a couple of small internal protocols, and have been maintaining them for at least a decade. Maintenance time is nearly 0 because I never had to add a field to them. Even though the software using them evolved a lot and in unexpected ways.

Yes, they stood the test of time because they solved the problem we had, and those problems didn't evolve much. Not every protocol or format needs to be hyper-extendable and scalable.

> even if inadequately

So it works poorly but it works, so it can be shipped. That's why you buy a new smartphone every two year and don't see much improvement in response time or battery life.
