It's a little presumptive to say substantially higher risk, there's no way to know what technology will look like in 100+ years. I think it's a fairly reasonable guess to say that 100 years from now, there will be negligible to no risk in undergoing any medical procedures that are common today. I think a technical solution to abortion is more likely in that time than a cultural one.

I'm making that prediction based on current development. Factor in the likelihood of AGI, and you're potentially looking at an entirely alien reality.

Alternately, we've peaked or nearly peaked and we'll stall out in a few decades. I think this is highly unlikely but not impossible.

If I understand you then, and I am not sure I do, you are saying you do not like discussing productivity because there are people who are less productive, for whatever reason, and they should not be penalized, in terms of access to resources, in relation to their more productive peers?

“You know, whenever Pharaoh wanted to prolong the period of slavery in Egypt, he had a favorite, favorite formula of doing it. What was that? He kept the slaves fighting among themselves. But whenever the slaves get together, something happens in Pharaoh’s court, and he cannot hold the slaves in slavery. When the slaves get together, that’s the beginning of getting out of slavery. Now let us maintain unity."

> George Floyd is dead because of his own actions.

The video doesn't mention or show suicide. If you think that death is an acceptable outcome for a simple arrest with multiple police officers on site you got an serious issue. This is neither okay nor acceptable. Those police officers were incredibly incompetent. Incapable of handling a man, supposedly on a drug that has sedative effects, with 3 man back-up.
>DIRECTLY

Even in your example, the effect from Open Source is at least two steps removed.

The problem you are referring to has more to do with Moore's law than open source software. Let's take IBM in the 1950s. Renting the use of a 701 from IBM would have cost $15000 per month. In today's dollars, that would have been about $1.8 million per year.

How exactly would you propose that IBM in the 1950s actually convince the world's population to use a computer at all, let alone using one to keep track of all of their conversations? OSS didn't make that change, cheaper silicon did.

I was a strong Eclipse supporter, I'd always advocate Eclipse at work (vs IntelliJ) ... but eventually I had to give up. The maven integration was breaking with each release. Not to mention the often half broken, incompatible plugins that would make the IDE unstable.

Switched to IntelliJ and never went back.

Also: IntelliJ's superior scala support also played a huge role in the decision.
I think thats true for git, (altho the master branch could also refer to a master record), but there are a lot of uses of master/slave terminology in computer tech that are more apt.

It will be Level 3, so limited.

Widevine levels are based on hardware support for features, and I can't really see any way the Raspberry Pi could ever have a closed protected video path for example. Indeed, all Widevine Level 1 devices are either closed devices with signed bootloaders (TVs), or with a Google written OS (Chromebooks) or both (Android phones).

(Also, where Edge gets higher resolution it's generally because it is using Microsoft's PlayReady as a Content Decryption Module, not Widevine. And on Windows PlayReady can access the APIs to check those similar hardware level features.)

Janet is a nice embeddable Lisp (that is: it belongs to the Lisp family of languages).

Was it a problem for you in practice, or is the small stdlib enough for CLI apps?

The OpenBSD documentation does not really make that balance clear to the new user though. And of course there is no mechanism for regular updates either.

> New users should be running either -stable or -release.

https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html

EDIT: Haven't used OpenBSD in a while, but unless I'm misreading https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq10.html, syspatch & binary patches only apply for release branches - in which case you would need to either deal with obsolete packages or compile them yourself. On the other hand if you where to track -stable branch you would get semi-regular binary packages (not everything for example no chromium, but at least you get firefox), but in that case syspatch won't work and you'd need to recompile kernel & userland.

Also, which exactly packages get updates is completely non-transparent for the end user if they follow official instructions.
So it’s not really a forced change. It’s a just soft change. Soft like the ocean is soft[1].

Glad we settled that one!

> Bitcoin can no longer disappear overnight. It was true in the beginning, but the network and mind-share is too big now.

This is what they said about the housing market in 2008. The question isn't whether bitcoin would operate at least 1 transaction, it's whether it is usable as a stable store of value or a large useful network.

> The market seems to value a independent and censorship proof currency differently than you, as those are two of the main features of Bitcoin and Bitcoin is seemingly receiving a lot of high praise, at least at the moment and past 7 years.

I meant morally, not financially. I suspect that multi-nationals are trying to become supranational entities and would be thrilled to be able to become more powerful and free from discipline from individual nations.

Simply dropping the name of a novel, especially in a context where the name is a cliché, without adding any information is obviously an unsubstantive comment. If the comment had filled in some additional thoughts around it, it might have been more substantive.

People often assume that an internet comment contains more information than it does because they're familiar with the surrounding thoughts in their own mind. But the rest of us, of course, don't have access to any of those. You have to share them explicitly.
Interestingly enough, there is an internal debate right now on SO about how to handle outdated answers [1].

I've never used Teams but I can already imagine how the same problem applies to Teams too. I guess it's even worst because technical answers usually get outdated after several years, but in every company I worked, processes usually changed every 2-6 months.

Can you name a single culture that knowingly overexploited a resource they could not live without until they died out?

There have certainly been cases of overexploitation leading to the extinction of species that people didn't need to survive, as well as potential cases where human activity may have led to ecological collapse by mechanisms the people did not understand, but I honestly can't think of a single instance where a substantial population depleted a resource it knew it needed to survive.

On the other hand, I can think of many cultures that lasted for many thousands of years in geographies with limited resources like islands.

This is an extremely dangerous conception of truth. Even when practically everyone believed that the sun revolved around the earth, the one guy that didn't was still correct. Yet he was pretty likely to be oppressed or killed for having heterodox views and had best keep his mouth shut. I'm sure there are many popular ideas now that are believed by a supermajority (or even 95%+) of the population which are actually incorrect, although I can't say what the correct ideas are or whether they will ever become popular.

I don't think you can call VSCode a text editor. Their own website champions IntelliSense, Debugging, and Built-in Git for starters. That sounds like an Integrated Development Environment to me...

We've strayed from the initial point - IDE's are complicated because they do complicated things. Any new IDE is going to be difficult to use at first, unless all you need is the absolute basics (a la text editor). Criticizing Eclipse for not knowing how to use it after 10 years (effectively using it for the first time I'd argue) is definitely unfair.
I think its not entirely optimistic locking, because the condition is based on checksum value, which is expensive to compute.

I don't recall the article mentioning it, but if you don't compute the actual checksum under the lock then you either cache it (under the lock) and update only successful writes, or you risk a race condition between time of the check and action.

That is, optimistic locking assumes that if the condition is true I immediately get exclusive lock. But here, condition check is completely separate from the action. When the checksums are equal, but another thread manage to enter and leave the critical section before you, then that invalidates the condition. But you need to synchronously let other threads know they must recompute.

Effectively: no. Cheaply: no. The London Olympics had a final budget of roughly $13 billion, or nearly double the original forecast of approximately $6.5 billion. For comparison, Beijing cost $40 billion, Athens cost $11 billion, and Rio cost $13.1 billion. Note that these are just the budgets for the games themselves, not including ancillary spending on other non-game infrastructure.

For comparison, the combined total of LA's three Olympics (adjusted for inflation and including the forthcoming games) is well below $10 billion.

I have never strongly associated the word master with slavery. I think of a master copy or a ships master, master/apprentice as much as anything. Master/slave specifically seems problematic. It does express the relationship between the software components better than most alternatives but I am happy to defer to people who know more than me on the social costs of keeping that terminology.

There was indentured labour (effectively slavery though it was technically outlawed) practised in my country but many people aren't even aware of it and it hasn't created huge racial divides, civil war and political division that persists to today. I don't feel qualified to have an opinion either way. I find 'main' totally acceptable for the default git branch.

I think change should be real and pragmatic and improve peoples lives, not just symbolic change to appease peoples guilt, but the truth is symbolic changes can have an impact. I am totally fine with saying sorry to my countries indigenous people. It isn't an admission I have personally done anything horrible myself to them. It is just saying sorry. It is what a decent person would do when they saw an injustice done. But I guess seeing that takes a certain level of emotional maturity and I guess that is often missing from these debates.

Isn't this exactly what I described in that comment? I'm confused. Or maybe I was just not clear in my writing. Re-emphasized:

Also, I didn't really introduce slippery slope as a strict logical fallacy. I said they were making a poor argument and identified it as being of slippery slope form. They responded to that talking about logical fallacies so we went on that tangent, but really I just found their specific instance not credibly inevitable.

I've doubted bitcoin for years, and continue to. Part of me realizes I was wrong, in the sense that I would've made money had I only bought and held - but I can't bring myself to buy something that doesn't work.

I can't use it as currency due to transaction fees and times. "Store of value" is basically the same thing as "Ponzi scheme" as far as I can tell. I would've made money, but...
Even odder is that central Europe had no channel 1. Everything started offset at channel 2. Additionally in some countries a channel 2A existed.
That’s my story as well, but late 90’s.
> Then came the bitcoin core wars. Today bitcoin is a technological dead end, unable to evolve.

Yet in spite of this, “speculative store of value” remains the only real world use case of cryptocurrency, full stop. No cryptocurrency has risen above speculative store of value absolutely without exception.

N.B. “digital gold” is merely a euphemism for speculative store of value.

“Digital gold” is the Cadillac of all cryptocurrency narratives from a pure practical proven standpoint, much to the chagrin of investors loudly beating the “utility coin” drum to shamelessly drum up demand for other people to invest in their supposed utility-having coin unironically as a speculative store of value.

This is also why all Bitcoin-to-altcoin competition is zero sum, and always will be — because no one uses cryptocurrency, they just virtue signal with it to jockey for position in the sheer Keynesian beauty contest that is cryptocurrency valuation [1].

Every core developer of Bitcoin could drop dead simultaneously, and Bitcoin’s “digital gold” narrative would remain intact. All you need is what Bitcoin is today if your only goal is the safest safe haven asset.

It was wise of the Bitcoin developers to double down on the digital gold narrative due to the inherent realities of the cryptocurrency space which continue to prove themselves out as Bitcoin has risen from $300 to over $50,000 USD. Bitcoin is digital gold, and every altcoin is low-key trying to become that by calling attention to their "utility" which virtually no one has ever made any “use” of.

Which is why Bitcoin remains the #1 coin by market cap, and virtually every other cryptocurrency is down c. 70% from their all-time highs (BTC-denominated ofc, because no other metric counts).

Capitalism is fundamentally about self-interest.

Narcissism is fundamentally about self-interest.

In corporate workplaces, teamwork is simply a temporary treaty imposed by higher level capitalists/narcissists so that you do their bidding, not yours.

If you are working in a corporation, you are almost certainly doing things for narcissistic reasons (for some definition of narcissism/self-interest/self-gratification/self-actualization).

Many of the "antipatterns" are really defense mechanisms from the fundamental hobbesian nature of a workplace.

expanding recruitment efforts to places that include more black developers is not racist by any definition. maybe you aren't reading this the same way, its places that also include more black developers

it is not racist by any definition of the word. just because they change a practice does not make it racist, even if their reasoning was as contrived as you think it is, it still would not be racist/prejudiced/exclusionary-to-other-groups when the result is simply expanding efforts to places that also include more black developers
Would love to see the debate where it convinced 9 people. Only video included in the post is the one where it lost. They really did their best to hype this up.

It fell flat when making a joke and when attempting emotional appeals.
Can't edit from here, but wanted to add:

Birth control developments will probably be the dominant factor in this area going forward. Someone will develop a way to control your fertility on the fly, and the issue will nearly evaporate (deliberate but regretted pregnancies and whatever the failure rate of the tech is will remain). External wombs will have a place as a voluntary procedure for women who want children without going through pregnancy and for gay male couples.
