> We're discussing how it failed your way

You mean the guaranteed-to-fail-but-spreads-blame method that I mentioned is common and closely related to your proposed method which shares those traits? Because that's neither “my way” nor something I recommend as an alternative.

> The problem with your method is that two separate companies have deliverables that must be correct,

No, only the final delivery company’s one must be correct. The preceding one influences the likelihood of that, of course, just like the extra domain-expert contractor brought in to validate the requirements in your proposal. (Who, if the agency for which work is being done is bringing them is as a requirement “validation” expert because it assessed that it can't do that, is effectively defining the actual requirements, even if nominally they are just validating the other firms work on behalf of the customer.

> It's fundamentally impossible (absolutely, 100%) to write specs for a complex product before the product work begins.

Yes, you seem to understand a key part of the basic problem, but then describe a rearranging-deck-chairs-on-the-Titanic solution that does nothing to address it.

> And my way removes the back-and-forth which is a huge source of errors.

No, it just changed to nominal role (but not really the functional role) of one of the three (customer, requirements crafter/validator, developer) parties to the back and forth.

My way is to recognize that if you are going to build and operate a complex IT-dependent business function, a prerequisite step to success is to own the IT capacity to govern the necessary system components, including their incremental development and adaptation to evolving business needs. And closely related to that is arrange the work into increments that (among other criteria) can be plausibly specced in advance but also where the setback isn't intolerable when an increment’s main output is information about where your understanding going into it was wrong.

> Nuclear energy without subsidies is not sustainable at all.

FYI, oil & gas industry receives a lot of subsidies (just google it). On top of that, nuclear is extremely regulated compared to oil & gas. For instance, we have to capture and store nuclear waste. That's not the case for oil & gas CO2 waste.

IANAD, but I am bipolar 1. OP's story sounds like textbook bipolar 2 disorder.

I'm not sure what kind of medications they're on, but normal antidepressants typically don't work for folks with these kinds of mood disorders.

OP, I'd recommend that you talk to your doctor about this. In my experience, psychiatry is a lot of trial and error. It's possible for you to suffer for years until one day, you find a diagnosis that describes your experience, and you start treatment.

Compared to, say, Italian, sure, especially coming from another language using the Latin alphabet with nearly equally consistent and mostly similar mapping between sounds and writing (say, Spanish).

Compared to languages where the primary script isn't even phonetic, though, I don't see it.
There's also a category of breakages that happen when libstd adds methods to types or traits. You get a unstable-name-collision warning for a while and then your code breaks. I'm not looking forward for code using Itertools::intersperse to break.

China setup a new trade deal in the beginning of the new year however it’s been pretty contentious due to the alleged human rights violations (I say alleged as China denies them). Prior to this China did trade with specific countries.

I don't understand what China's leadership is afraid of such that they have their internet filter and suppress independent journalism. You can't have economic freedom without individual freedom.

I’m not really here to defend or attack China - it just annoys me that such blatant misinformation is being spread.

> It's hardly semantics. Many people over the past few hundred years have found it mind-bogglingly unlikely that organisms can evolve to be so purpose-built to survive in their environments if the only input driving that forward is the circumstances of their birth and the sheer number of organisms being produced.

That's really just a failure of imagination. Also, it ignores that the mechanisms of evolution have themselves evolved.

Sure, evolution seems unlikely if you assume discrete genes have to change in lockstep to adjust traits successfully (eg. if you assume that separate changes are needed to adjust bones, muscles, skin, nerves, etc. to lengthen a limb), but that isn't how our bodies wirk (if it was, it would be nearly impossible to heal from an injury), nor is it how genes control that development.

Instead, you have genes that control things in less direct ways, such as body to limb ratio, and other genes that direct development of things like muscles in relation to bones and joints don't have to change at the same time for everything to keep working.

Even that's an overly simplified model, but you should get the general idea. You might like to read the book "The Plausibility of Life", which goes into more detail.
As someone who did way better on his SAT Math than Verbal... language skills are important in programming. Every word in human languages has ambiguity, and the possible ways to express a single thought in a sentence are almost uncountable.

Similarly, in programming, there are many tools available, which can be combined in almost uncountable ways to get something done... then editing skills translate to refactoring skills.

It is important in both writing and programming to express thoughts in such a way as to help reduce ambiguity as much as possible for the reader. The person who reads your code will appreciate well written code that doesn't smell, as it will help her do her job.
I just went through a rabbit hole of sites about adwords for injury lawyers and my mind is blown by how obvious and expected it is but it’s still insane to think of a single click being billed 200$. But it makes perfect sense, adwords is far more suited to for this purpose and it’s one case of everyone getting what they want (except the dude getting sued) so why not? Google is getting healthy competition in the ad space so within that dimension it’s great? If we now just ensure the Amazon workers can unionise and put amazons more physical manifestations on check then this is a better situation overall than whatever we have now.
I see what you're getting at, but I still disagree.

Because it's not only about classisism it's about not giving a f!

A non-native can communicate better than a native in several occasions.
Subject/verb agreement is regularly mangled. A vs an is regularly hosed up. Run-on sentences and clauses are all over the map. I can go on and on.

This is hilarious when two halves of a family come together and can't understand one another. It's not so hilarious when their children can't read certain books and can't spell for crap because their pronunciation is terrible.
The article seems to have avoided mentioning the easy way of detecting a lie - go and collect some evidence then compare it to what the person is saying. Incentives count as weak evidence for detecting lies. While not foolproof, it is much more effective than looking for verbal cues.

Detecting lies by assessing someone's demeanour is a symptom. The average person seem to have this unshakeable belief that they are psychic and can deduce other people's thoughts. They can't.
The population can't but other high level party officials could perhaps. The CPP also has had much internal drama over centralization, the Xi pro-centralization faction could also loose out more broadly if there was a power struggle.

IMO dictatorship / monarchy is a funny thing because after a certain scale the person at the top simply cannot be an absolutely power in the same way because there's too much going on. I think there more reasonable things to look at are:

- How many extra luxuries does then nominal ruler get, and do they "distract" from their power/responsibilities. (Perhaps there is even a strict luxery power trade off? not sure.)

- How is centralized is the bureaucracy, e.g. how many people outside the capital have power greater than those in the capital.
Being a de facto global language where listeners also have to learn to tolerate very wide differences in pronunciation and grammar, I wonder how this simplifies the perceived learning of the language. I know when I try to learn and use languages in other countries even mild issues with pronunciation will get you blank stare in return which is highly frustrating.
Are you saying an authoritarian government and a dictatorship are the same type of government?

I mean they’re literally different things. You wouldn’t call China a monarchy even though a monarch can do similar things to a dictator, right? If the goal is to say China is bad let’s just say that - let’s not misrepresent their form of government.

I don’t understand the relevance of the lack of term limits. Does not having term limits make a dictatorship?
Chinese here.

I want to share two things:

* People's reactions to BCI in China are divided by ages -- younger Chinese prefer goods from companies kind to China.

* Western people's ideas about China are also divided by ages -- you have to refresh your view about the world after 18 months.

Growth means everything. The American people should control covid-19 as quick as possible -- make US a qualified competitor to China.

Actually some of the hazardous waste at Hanford is from the PUREX "recycling" process to extract Plutonium for weapons research. A lot of people just don't want to admit that nuclear is very dirty, and while we're potentially able to better capture its waste compared to other waste producing energy sources, our track record with nuclear material in general is very poor.
It's a definite advantage if a language is phonetic (eg German, Turkish) but there are also worse than English. French springs to mind.

English pronunciation inconsistencies are really a product of how many loan words there are, when they entered the language (ie they tend to become more regular over time) and what language they came from (eg you see consistencies in words of Latin origin vs Greek origin).

Also, at least the vowels are written in English (unlike, say, Arabic or Hebrew, generally speaking).
It worked with French Indochina, and it arguably still works with South Korea. All it takes is years of military occupation.
Apparently I’m taking genocide lightly and your the one that compared extradition (legal or bot) of one person to it

If I have to pick China or USA who both are rife with human rights abuses its a wise choice to go with one we share a border with and is our largest trading partner by far even if every 4 years they can turn on a dime unpredictability
And they "do have" it, but just in special occasions (more common in French, where it's directly translatable)
I see a lot of fair concerns about nuclear waste. Here's a crazy thought: Can we just send it to space?

With all recent developments in space technology, I'd expect it to be extremely safe and reliable in the next decades.
True. My wife started learning English seriously in her mid 20s and even after over 25 years of daily, immersed, use struggles with native grammar and pronunciation constructs.

Hanford is a great example of what happens when you don't manage or plan for nuclear waste properly.

Also x-ray technicians stand behind a shield, because x-rays are still dangerous.
Fan fact: Shugart is today's Seagate, the name was changed because the founder, Alan Shugart Shugart, had two companies, one for HDDs (Shugart Technology) and another for FDDs (Shugart Associates), both named after him. Later the FDD company was sold to Xerox but kept the name, so the HDD company had to change its name to Seagate. The rename was quite clever, it still rhymes with the original word.
No, for the reason that the waste is extremely heavy and more importantly, if the rocket blows ups, you now have a huge problem with radioactive waste spread on a high altitude.
At first I was kind of skeptical because detecting pH has been done for decades (and quite easily) - but her methodology for keeping the dye on the suture was really smart just in general. One thing that would make this really viable is if she could make the color change a bit more extreme. Personally red and dark purple are really hard to tell apart for some people, especially for detecting something as a surgical infectionl.
"Correct" is defined by what native speakers do.
If you're talking a user downloading it with mobile data, it's gonna take a while before it can setup and show anything.

I think someone else said there are other optimizations that happen when you shop production code.
At my last company we had our own copy of every dependency we used, sometimes multiple versions. For a while every dependency had to get approved (someone would literally look at the license and verify it’s in our company’s approved list of licenses). This was after a contractor used some dependency that he had written himself, left the company, and then tried to sue us.

But we never took a dependency on any external code repository. Imagine that external service goes down. Would you be able to afford having blocked builds?
"Not recyclable" in the literal sense. You have lower yields when you reform plastics and there's always contaminants which are difficult (read "we don't know how to") remove. This is a complicated technical challenge. In fact, the recent John Oliver episode was on this topic[0]. There's kinda this weird conspiracy about this, which is more about shifting responsibility.

Though the more honest answer is closer to "mostly not recyclable, a bit not economically viable". But that also depends what we mean by "economically viable". If we're using it in the typical sense of "slightly more expensive for producers" then a small percentage increase. But if we're talking about "if producers had infinite resources" then well still no, but we'd be able to recycle a bit more (we're still not talking much more). I'm assuming the former because the latter is an absurd position.

Amazon are terrifically bad at the “things I have already purchased” advertising. They _know_ with 100% certainty that I bought a webcam 6 months back - because I bought it on Amazon. Yet they’re still sending me email and putting ads on webpages for webcams, including the exact model I bought from them...

(I totally expect some shitty AdTech startup to start buying remarketing ads for NFTs any minute now. )
In practice, no one will do this, unless there happens to be a function with the correct signature already available. The lambda syntax is so verbose that it's easier to just write the for loop.

Another problem is that tons of Go functions return (value, error), and it's not clear how such functions should interact with a "map" function. Return all the errors in a separate slice? Stop at the first error? What if you only want to stop when the error is io.EOF? etc.

I think we'll only see map/filter/reduce if the language is changed to specifically accommodate them. I've experimented with doing this myself, which people tend to view as heresy: https://twitter.com/lukechampine/status/1367279449302007809?...

> which makes it slightly harder to create horrible codebases

Going to have to strongly disagree. It forces you to make horrible codebases with endless boilerplate code and increased complexity introduced by workarounds for abstractions you can suddenly no longer make due to questionable language limitations. You will get improved performance, however.
I suppose they would have to find someone else to plagiarize if they wanted to continue their con. I don’t think an impostor would set out to do this, they would prepare it as a backup plan in case they were discovered. At that point it’s dangerous, but the alternative is to give up and confess. That would make it seem like a worthy last ditch effort. Maybe if they pull it off they aren’t interested in sustaining the con long term, but rather just enough to solidify their gains and move on to something else.

When the rules in the rule book are used as a cudgel to beat on native speakers of a language, it is the rules, and especially those using the rules in that way, which are wrong.

English has prestige dialects which conserve certain features, and others which are low status and don't. A phrase like "I done been doin it!" is grammatically regular, in a dialect of the language which you don't speak; it isn't the same thing as the mistakes a non-native speaker will make, at all, and you shouldn't treat it like it is.
