I see this reflected as in the DBASE - *gres impedance.

~ the one end Ashton Tate delivering a shallow learning curve declarative language for semi referential data that SOHO novices can create applications with, and at the other, Stonebraker wanting to put the neatness that pure client computing enabled (dedicated cpu time and architecture leading to multimedia inexpensively) together with large system semantics [0] long before capabilities, a curse I believe was academic grant seeking behaviour in origin.

I seriously keep seeing the results of driving forces individually uniquely capable in project conditions which are very difficult to reconcile with the ultimate purpose software is used for. like, before Jim Keller quit Intel, he gave a talk explaining how Tesla was founded on a unique case where reductions to silicon were optimal for CAFÉ and that's a rare case, and how he couldn't see the 22 people in the audience he knew can tune the full performance out of modern silicon software instructions. (probably that should have called out his imminent departure considering the proliferating instruction set at Intel and his unusual call out to a success he thought worthy of mention). it used to be academia thinking about small systems applications and development, eg the Edinburgh AI group up to the 80s and Carl Hewitt thinking about how to make "next use unknown" a good thing in PLANNER. But certainly lately academic prowess has adhered to scale and the apparent needs of the largest computing users. If there's a impedance mismatch here I think it has evolved from putting the solo developer in the employ of hyperscalers without any thought about the effects of that situation.

Oracle drove it's ugly polluting truck thru the middle and created a empire that we're still far from superannuating (not replacing, in the view of this guy seriously targeting openVMS 9.3 with the ability to have workstations join the cluster and run transactions across the system and db against the same native transaction manager and define time series objects using FORTRAN and make the cursor over the resulting blobs addressable from DEC BASIC inside user applications including Excel soon to be patched to the VMS TM via SRV-IO via a switch on the same NIC. All very much old functionality becoming the new. if I'm allowed to write about it, I will probably emphasise just how much innovative design has been enabled by expensive licensing and recount my memories of how nothing ever cropped up to address comparable needs in the FOSS world despite the foundations resting upon some of the most well documented CS and being wonderfully unencumbered by IP inhibitors due to the passing of time.
Just leaving Kent's more up-to-date opinion on modern Redux with the official redux toolkit here: https://youtu.be/xJpNIbJYK8Y?t=1523

You are right, if all your state is "cache state", then you don't need Redux. But at that point you don't need any state management library and are already searching for the wrong tool from the beginning. If you have actual global state, you'll come very quickly to a point where an actual state management library beats writing your own though, both in developer experience as well as performance.
Whenever I read a series of tweets like this I can't help but see someone with a Savior complex who has realized that all of their saving was not what their employer wanted. They also usually fail to mention all of the things the employer did want that they didn't do because they were too busy being a savior.

This my point; at least in the past, `go` did not provide a Set implementation.

Some people assert that they feel "productive" because of all the typing they need to do to implement it, AGAIN. My stance is that HAVING to do that decreases productivity. I'm mis-quoting, but something Knuth said is to think of it not as "lines written" but "lines spent".

I feel that `go`'s recent acquiescence on templates/generics is a bigger version of this, and related to the Stockholm Syndrome I mentioned earlier; this caused much anguish in some, and to me it felt like because having that feature would case people NOT GETTING to type in their bespoke, artisinal implementations of all that stuff that's been solved a million times over. To me that's just baffling.

There's a couple of things that I've thought about when it comes to this sort of thing (speaking as a journalist and someone who's taught journalism to college students).

- There's certainly an element where writers and audiences have an understanding about what they're writing about, and thus, you get stuff that's a bit more "inside baseball" that's a little harder to understand if you're not in the know. Like, jump from sports writing to economics to entertainment writing, and they all have their own quirks and tropes.

- Not necessarily the NYT, but my local paper has a lot of errors, and I know they don't have a copywriter on staff (they just advertised for one) — it's clear that their writers aren't catching stuff. I know this is a much bigger problem around the news world: copywriters are often the first to be culled during layoffs, and a good copywriter is a valuable resource.

- Writers are human, and we make mistakes. I know I work to read over everything out loud before turning it in to catch errors, but even then, I miss stuff. It happens, but you move on and try and correct mistakes that you're made aware of moving forward.
Well, there's technically correct, and substantively correct. Most people would take away the lesson that "hey, the current definition of inflation doesn't quite capture the reality of normal people's cost of living", not "computer says no suffering, sorry bro".

But I don't think it's even technically correct from the perspective of price stability. The inflation the central bank cares about is the kind that is the result of (to simplify) "too much money chasing too few goods". Technological deflation is totally orthogonal to that, and should be ignored to the extent possible.

Furthermore, even on its on terms, the calculation isn't correct. A fifty percent faster CPU doesn't mean the effective price has fallen fifty percent, because the CPU is only occasionally the bottleneck. (And do they ever adjust inflation upward for quality reductions?)

> and play your local music collection

The local collection that I stopped expanding three years ago because I was now paying for a streaming service.

Clearly, it's a trade-off. I don't miss paying vast amounts for a CD that might at best have one or two tracks that I really like plus a load of fillers. I've discovered a lot of music that I wouldn't have found otherwise thanks to streaming. But I worry for some of my older relatives who can barely navigate a smartphone interface, and for whom setting up the streaming on a modern device is a hit and miss affair.

Yes, the same is true for a company like Valve: there's a nozzle that cash just comes pouring out of not matter what they do. Thus they struggle to put out new games, typically having to acquire them. This covers up the problems with their organizational structure.

This comes off as criticism, but it's not intended as an insult. Simply dispassionate.

That would be the cost of living for a particular person. Inflation is not that. It's literally a change in the price level of an economy, and what they are trying to measure is exactly that.

I dunno, I've used it on connections I consider "not too great" like at my parents house and was surprised at how well it works. Like a lot of things though I'm sure it's YMMV, maybe I got lucky.
> My layman understanding of inflation is that it is the measure of change of purchasing power a unit of currency has over time.

That's loosely correct; but general inflation is the change in purchasing power for currency buying final consumer goods and services, not assets which are intermediary stores of value. Purchased homes are assets (actual or foregone but using a home you own yourself) rents are consumption expenses.

> I think it is a sensible expectation that if inflation was said to be 2% for 20 years then I should be able to buy a house that cost $200K 20 years ago for ~$300K now

It's not. Specifically, that would be the fallacy of division, even if your basic understanding of inflation was correct. The change of an aggregate is not identical to the change in every subset of the aggregate.
The commenter's wife is not a child.

She has communicated her wish in a way which is already clearly understood. I don't understand why that is deemed insufficient communication.

So, she gets a mild reproach if she makes an indirect ask.

I wonder, what reaction does she get whenever she makes a direct ask? (Not necessarily in this situation, but also in other and past experiences in her life)
So why then put the extra burden of defending Israel on just the Jews? An act of unsolicted kindness?

Unless of course Israeli jews really, really, really want to avoid training generation after generation after generation of Arabs citizens in IDF tactics and technology. Every year, year-in, year-out.

Clearly not trusting people is very obviously a form of government sanctioned discrimination.

Which again, is also why Apartheid South Africa also didn't feel comfortable handing millions of young Zulu men (ironically) Israeli designed R4 automatic weapons.

Peas, pods.
This might be because the New Yorker (and other fancy newspapers) need to differentiate their writing from the very direct, straight to the point writing we see online nowadays. Instead of getting straight to the point, they meander on in an attempt to sound smarter.

Israel could do Greece a favor send some IDF forces to play as the Turks and war game a land invasion on the Thracian border. It would be a useful exercise for Greece because Israel's infantry capabilities map closer to Turkey's than to Greece's.
i think subscription is here to stay and solves the “new game are expensive but i want to play them” problem. on the other end of the spectrum you have all these game stores selling old games on heavy discount sales or epic store giving away a free game each week and this solves the i want to own, even if i’m years later, cheaply solution. i think there’s room for both
This is what happens when you spend decades demonizing journalism. Instead of giving us insightful articles, the New York times is competing against Facebook and Twitter to grab your attention immediately. I have a feeling most people don't read an entire New York times article, the entire point is just to create headlines you can share on Facebook or Twitter, keep those clicks and kpis flowing!

In a way this is fantastic, we shouldn't have two or three newspaper owners running almost all media under the vestedge of prestige.

Thanks for that callout. We appreciate the perspective and will work on adding more disclosures of where logging does occur, making it easier for the user to opt out, and review what we are logging and how we can reduce it. I think your analysis is correct, but as a summary: we log the email provided by the user when they first create a mitosheet, the size of the dataframe, the header names of the dataframe, and then the interactions with the UI.

For our current users who have told us that they are not comfortable with logging, we have been able to turn off logging for their specific accounts. So if you're interested in continuing to checkout the tool while we make those improvements, just let us know.
Does she really though? I am always so conflicted because coming from a Third World country I know thousands of girls who were in her shoes and who didn't have their stories told simply because they weren't as privileged as she was. People in the West tend to romanticize things and project their "saving grace" obsession onto issues elsewhere whereas in fact the situation is much grimmer than they think it is.

The Noble Peace prize is one example of these things, for instance back in 2014, the award went to the "The National Dialogue Quartet" in my country, it made it seem as if they saved the entire country from a looming doom whereas in reality they had very little effect and the entire thing was a circlejerk of sorts.

My point is, the world is shittier than it seems.
> the nominal increase is of 4.3%, and that was during a pandemic year

Well, of course. Using office space in many areas is illegal, and even where it's not, it's unwise. People are substituting residential-housing space, instead, so demand is way, way up. Construction is booming, but not so quickly as to take the edge off those prices.

> show me how you have 10 times less bug reports than the next guy.

You can't actually do that because there are too many other differences. However good tests do in the long run tend to result in high quality code.

If nothing else because sometimes the obvious fix for one bug breaks something seemingly unrelated where the obvious fix is to undo the first first. I've seen that go on for 4 rounds over 8 years in one company with different contractors doing the work every time (only by luck one of the few full time employees happened to review the code twice and think to check version control to see the history of the obvious fix).

Tests are more expensive to get an equivalent quality version one out the door in general. (if you have a 15 year development cycle maybe not). However by the time you are on version 3 you save yourself a lot of retesting the same thing again to get quality.

Though the most obvious affect of tests is as you say: a metric that management can brag about. Also one of the few metrics where gaming the metric for more isn't entirely bad (though it can be a waste of money!)

Not the parent, but the answer here comes down to two simple things:

1. Home prices are not captured in CPI, only rents.

2. The headline CPI is a national number. Home price inflation has actually been somewhat tame overall in recent history (2-3% per year), but it has been very geographically uneven. Some places have experienced basically no inflation, while others have tons of it.

Here is the graph for home price inflation in the San Francisco region: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=BLdf . You can see that it's often double digits, and certainly much higher than any headline inflation rate.

I've been having this nagging thought lately: what if web app UIs started off as in-browser spreadsheets and evolved from that?

Newspapers used to have copy editors, people whose only job was to make sure that the kinds of mistakes the article refers to didn't get into print. Now they usually don't. That's why writing in newspapers got so bad.

> I think it is a sensible expectation that if inflation was said to be 2% for 20 years then I should be able to buy a house that cost $200K 20 years ago for ~$300K now

Housing is a bit particular because it's a good that's almost always purchased on credit. You'd want to look at the monthly costs of housing (mortgage payment) as opposed to the sticker price, since the total cost that's affordable fluctuates based on the interest rate. Twenty years ago, the interest rate on a 30 year mortgage was about 8%, contrast it with the about 3% rates now.

To make Julia compelling as library code, it would have to be statically compiled. Having a massive laggy Julia runtime embedded in a library seem like a complete no-starter to me.

I'm convinced Julia will eventually be able to be compiled statically, but doing that will likely make it feel decidedly un-Julia like (e.g. no dynamic dispatch, no type inference failure), to the point where a library maker would probably just want to use an actual static language instead.
I don't know about those two scores, but the second paragraph was definitely simpler written.
I mean these are all sort of arbitrary categories. I'm not saying "go have casual sex, it'll enrich your life." I agree that long-term meaningful relationships are fulfilling. But sexual attraction, flirting, humor—these are all spontaneous parts of human societies and human lives. To suggest we're living in such a serious time that they're not appropriate is macabre and anti-human, in my opinion, and will only create more suffering.
I understand how You feel but people really believe this stuff.

I wonder if these ideas are being pushed by people that have accumulated so much wealth that thinking like this possible for them(or their heirs) as in their minds money has no value anymore, sort of a "let them eat cake" attitude.

There's a "nose" that drops down from Turkey, and the EastMed pipeline goes straight from Cyprus to Crete, so it would cross into that "nose". It says "territorial waters" there, so I'm confused as to whether that's so or, if not, what it is.
The most recent standard is instant, but in some countries banks take this as an opportunity to get fees. In France for example you can usually pay ~€1 to make an instant transfer, but even non-instant ones are usually much faster than one day; in the U.K. it seems everyone gets instant transfers for free.
Something that I think is rarely discussed when this topic comes up is the loss of prestige. Working for The New York Times or The New Yorker used to have some weight with pretty much everyone in the country.

That is no longer the case. It hasn't been so for at least a couple of decades. Extremely erudite-yet-mostly-apolitical people like Lewis Lapham [1] went to literary magazines and high-end journalism a half-century ago, whereas today they almost certainly avoid it. I can't name a single person that I'd consider the modern equivalent of Lapham, or even Christopher Hitchens.

In some sense, journalism used to be a popular career choice for upper class kids with a deep interest in literature. Today, it seems more like an ideological battleground than a search for truth.

[1] I really recommend his magazine, Lapham's Quarterly and its podcast, The World in Time. https://www.laphamsquarterly.org/world-in-time
Newspapers could be suffering from a race to the bottom in terms of hiring the cheapest (and probably less skilled) talent. With all of the financial woes compounded, hiring recent J-school graduates versus investing in those with more experience, may be showing the inexperience in print.
I think so too, but territorial waters isn't the same, no? You can't cross into those without some sort of authorization, AFAIK.
Hezbollah isn't the PLO, they were formed out of Shia militia groups from Lebanon's previous civil wars, not to help the Palestinians.

Lebanon absolutely does not have the Palestinians rights in mind. They have "refugee camps" with tens of thousands of people in them that they have been kept there since the 1950's and 1960's, and haven't given them citizenship.

How come you're so concerned about other countries making peace with Israel, but not concerned with countries making peace with Lebanon?
But that seems very fine and specific to me. I don't understand why it shouldn't be allowed to be like this.
It sounds like you're right. Also, that's the book I read way back then! Neat, I'll have to pick it up again.
Journalism is expensive, so what I think may be happening is that the newspapers are no longer able to afford to fill an entire paper with the writings of actual journalists. Instead they hire "writers" and "translators" who take junk from the internet and notices from news agencies and turn it into sort of articles.

Danish newspapers are filled with bad spelling and broken language. It's pretty clear that they're hiring people to translate or piece together articles.

The real investigating articles are still well written, but there aren't enough of those to fill the paper or update the website multiple times a day.
