The general use reducer is a infinite state machine, while this is a finite state machine. The normal reducer can allow your app to be in any state, while finite state machines let you list the only possible states (like ON, OFF, UNKNOWN; or DRAFT,SENT,BOUNCED) - and offers state transition functions to move between them that can refuse to move unless certain conditions are met.

hehe, I'm a bit of a contrarian when it comes to modern tech. I don't see the need for Docker most of the time. I struggle to understand why people use ORMs instead of learning some SQL. I don't agree with the massive use of third-party libraries in most modern development (this is a security nightmare waiting to happen). So yeah, there's quite a few boring things that everybody gets wrong, but I doubt I'm going to be able to convince them of that ;)

This is false, it uses both - hence the 'middle out' was suitable for video chat and all kind of enterprise software (incl. a custom appliance box). Overall - a be it all compression.

That's fine. Struggling for power is absolutely okay. It is natural. Let's recognize it for what it is.

My personal opinion is this problem fixes itself over time.

When I was in graduate school papers from one lab at Harvard were know to be “best case scenario”. Other labs had a rock solid reputation - if they said you could do X with their procedure, you could bet on it.

So basically we treated every claim as potential BS unless it came from a reputable lab or we or others had replicated it.
I think it's important to be realistic with your dreams and expectations for them.

I am an 'elite athlete'. I compete in one of the oldest sports/events in history.

I am top 3 in the country and top 60 in the world.

My dream is to be a full-time athlete and represent my country at the 2024 Olympics and also many Major international competitions.

Unfortunately, I will never make a 'living' from my sport. After sponsorship deals and prize money the Top 5 athletes in the world are making $100K USD (before flights/accommodation/manager fees)

I am perfectly content with that and it has influenced my lifestyle greatly.

For this to be true a person has to experience a large number of events. For any meaningful definition of event that's false.

But I'm not saying this as blaming Linux about the brokedness. They're doing amazingly well for the huge amount of combinations of hardware and software they're supporting.

Apple, on the other hand, has decided to seriously limit the amount of hardware they support, which makes it a much easier effort to support those ones.
> web was noticeably inferior as an application platform

Nope. The web was both cross platform and insanely easy to use at the same time. It also cost an order of magnitude less because developers didn't have to implement an entire ui, printing and a bunch of code to make little things like the clipboard and resize window actually work. The web was vastly superior to the 1998 4gl scene and it was crystal clear in 98 that it was the future. So sure you could make a order entry crud app with your favorite 4gl and your order entry team could use it. With the web, I could make an order entry system and the whole world could use it...
Yes, I indeed just don't want my politics questioned or examined, even when my critic has a questionable narrative of how it affects other people. I see how this is commonly leveraged as a superficial excuse to evangelize reluctant parties. "Silence is violence."

Yes, this can superficially be construed of as a political belief. If you want to find some other mutually-agreeable term for the idea that one's workplace should not be dominated by partisan evangelizing, then I'm open to suggestions.

Hmm. I've not had any success with Teams on Linux. Oddly, the behavior is also quite client-dependent:

- Chromium: infinite login loop because why not
- Flatpak: login works, but says my account isn't eligible for Teams (which blocks joining as even a guest?)
- Firefox: doesn't even ask for a login and I can join, but no audio or video (either direction); chat works though

Note that I only join existing meetings, never create any, so why I can get to the call without logging in on Firefox, but am blocked from even joining elsewhere is a real mystery to me.
Most of the time it is not about SQL itself but the interface. Like, since you avoid ORM, you never ran into a mismatch between parameters/query results in prepared SQL statement vs. surrounding code? Isn't that a security risk too?
Having a scientific blockchain looks like a decent idea... but of course it will not suffice and will be gamed. The real causes of the mess are complexity of the world compared with our minds and tools and the lack of epistemologic undestanding as society,institutions, culture. Science can't be more than a nice and usefull collection of heuristics. Otherwise is just the Scientism religion lurking arround and pretenting to read God's mind. Metarationality concepts could offer an exit from the inevitable mess.

It's important for anyone joining a startup to understand that the odds of success are overwhelmingly against you.

For every successful startup we see on here and elsewhere, there are thousands that fail in obscurity, sometimes leaving people in ruins.

Treat options/shares as a literal lottery. Assume your odds of winning are zero when making life choices. Also unless you're a very very early employee, those options/shares are likely to not be worth what you imagine they will be worth even if the company has a successful exit.

Go into it with eyes open and realistic expectations if you choose to try it out.
I think this is backwards. The USSR had a navy toe-to-toe competitive with the US, but never had a fraction of the economic weight. The economic power of the US isn't a product of it's navy, rather it's economic power is just another weapon it uses alongside military force.

Let's look at how the petrodollar came about. The first step with the run on gold in 1971 which broke the Breton Woods system. The value of the dollar went through the floor. Having a big navy didn't make any difference. This hurt oil exporters because now their dollar earning weren't worth as much, but they didn't abandon dollars. There was no credible alternative, and there was no military dimension to that fact.

Then in 1973 US support for Israel lead to the OPEC oil embargo. Oil prices quadrupled. You could say it was American military aid that caused this, well maybe but no actual projection of force by the US was involved. Military aid to Israel was no different in character from Soviet aid to Arab regimes. The reasons the embargo mattered and had an effect were economic reasons, not military ones.

When the United States-Saudi Arabian Joint Commission on Economic Cooperation was established in 1979 the US hadn't invaded any Middle Eastern nation, hadn't blockaded any Middle Eastern ports, hadn't established any bases in the Middle East. The total of their interference was support for Israel, a small state a long way from any of the actual oil.

All three of those milestones were entirely economic in character. Military power projection played no part in them. The US has and uses economic power anyway, regardless of how effective it's navy or army is. It was a military midget, but economic powerhouse in 1941 when Japan attacked Pearl Harbour. It parlayed that economic power into military might, not the other way around. By the end of the war the US was launching 2 aircraft carriers per month due to sheer economic muscle.

US military intervention in the Middle East long post-dates the establishment of the petro-dollar. Those claiming the petro-dollar is a result of military power have it exactly the wrong way around.

A bio professor of mine said something that stuck with me: “life doesn’t work perfectly, it just works.”

It has to work well enough to… work… and reproduce. That’s it. It’s not “survival of the fittest.” It’s “survival of a randomized subset of the fit.”

There’s even a set of thermodynamic arguments to the effect that systems are unlikely to exceed such minimum requirements for a given threshold. For example, if we are visited by interstellar travelers they are likely to be the absolute dumbest and most dysfunctional possible examples of beings capable of interstellar travel since anything more is a less likely thermodynamic state.

So much for Star Trek toga wearing utopian aliens.
I would expect it to look like nonsense to many if not most practitioners.

It would have seemed like nonsense to me a year or two ago.

The issue is incommensurability (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradigm_shift#Incommensurabil... ), though I find the idea that communication or translation is impossible a bit too strong. But it definitely is very difficult.

As a start, think of what ALGOL stands for: ALGOrithimic Language ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALGOL ). Now think which current mainstream language is not derived from ALGOL. There are some variations, but they are fairly minor. OO languages attach the procedures to the data structures, and call the result methods and object respectively. FP languages insist procedures must not have side-effects and call them functions. And so on.

(And once I remembered what ALGOL stood for, I thought that what I had thought of as a deep insight was so trivial that obviously everyone already knew it. I guess not :) ).

Anyway, my first semi-coherent written account of this is here: https://2020.programming-conference.org/details/salon-2020-p...

In short: the first thing we used our computers for was computing answers. For this functions/procedures are well suited, and so we also used procedures (sub-routines) as our structuring mechanism. The problems we are solving with our computers have changed dramatically, but our structuring mechanism has remained essentially the same.

Another short: software architecture defines many different kinds of connectors and components. The procedure/function call is just one of them, but that's the one that is directly supported by the majority of our programming languages. So if we need a different architectural style, we have to cobble it together out of procedure calls.
I had a professor in university that would often say, "follow your dream, keep following it into the convinience store because that's where you're going to end up."

He was saying it in reference kids who would practice hip-hop dance and pursue it as though they'd all actually get somewhere with it.

His advice was. "raise your bar up until it's stable and won't fall back down, then try to kick it up so that if it were to come back down, it'll stop where you left off but won't go lower." Or stabilize yourself first, then shoot for the stars that way even if you fail you can fall back to where you were before.
If we embrace meta rationality, we could build tools and wisdom in our culture to sort out this problem.

I think the generally accepted way to do that would be a container image running a relatively old distribution. This is exactly what python packages do when they need to distribute binary packages on linux [0].
