For some recent similar discussion.
If you have either high performance real time needs, and it’s impactful to do so, or tight deliverables where performance is some component, the code is often written for a computer over a human.

The more specialized or niche certain project areas are, the less likely anyone will ever be reading it directly as a programmer (and those that need to, are often able to disentangle the obscurity). The compromise is a clean interface to otherwise isolated or pure functions.

Often times, this is unfortunately poorly executed or inappropriately assumed. Usually the people who should write clever code are the ones who have experience writing clever code, but almost certainly anyone starting to write clever code is writing terrible code.

Inexperienced folks often write clever code to solve a business need at that time. They create tremendous tech and culture debt. It’s easy to not understand when you’re an IC or line manager, though, that the business could have been severely affected otherwise. I’ll take millions in tech debt opportunity cost and the future morale hit over a failed startup/vertical any day.

Just my 2c in high performance or hardware constrained projects both as an IC, and as various levels of management who’s both inherited mountains of “clever” shit and and built my own directly or indirectly.

> I find it unfortunate that the academic discussions I witness tend towards "Wikipedia bad" rather than a more nuanced understanding. Some aspects of Wikipedia are great, and academia still has a lot to learn from web technologies.

No Wikipedia is bad, it has become a subtle but effective political propaganda tool that reflects only a certain point of view, it is not a encyclopedia by the definition of the word. It takes stances on wedge issues by the sole fact that it eliminates any sources its editors do not agree with. When you only source assertions from a tiny number of sources you know only reflect your point of view then you are badly biased.

yes that’s why less secure (economicly game theoric wise) blockchains need longer confirmations (of course, it is also dependent of other factors like time to produce a block), as the probability of it happening with longer confirmation times decreases
I think there's another class of "clever/amazing" code that wraps up esoteric language features in easy to use APIs/libraries. So while the actual implementation can be quite hard to follow/understand (especially for novices) consuming the service is incredibly easy and makes an otherwise arduous task simple and requiring far less code.

I've found myself writing these kind of modules often over the years. They often use RTTI/reflection and generics and make a task declarative rather than procedural. A couple that spring to mind are a messaging/subscription framework in C++ (heavy use of templates) and a reporting API in C# (lots of reflection).

Always do my best to make the implementation comprehensible but there's only so much you can do when they require a deep understanding of the language.
But.. you apply to them the history as you think this history is, and this might be very different to what they think it is. This is IMO a great source of conflict.

This is why I hate "-ism"/"-ists"-labels, because everyone seems to have a different opinion of what particular "-ism" words means. To use an example, Bernie Sanders' "socialism" is about sharing the wealth, meanwhile a lot of his opponents would argue because of the same word, it means he wants to install a Chinese-style dictatorship, or even worse, since it's a word that comes up in "Nazi", this style of fascism is also what Bernie wants.

If someone says they're a Black Live Matters supporter, depending on your leanings you might perceive them as wanting more social justice, or as a sympathizer of gangs that burned local businesses. I suppose, then you can decide whether you trust them or not. The problem is, they're probably not an anarchist that likes burning buildings, but your classification might have put them in that box in your mind, and since you disagree with anarchism (oh, look, another -ism), you conclude dialog with that person is impossible, just because they identified themselves as something...

I think the most important thing is for everyone to know the purpose of the meeting: what's going to be discussed, what decisions will be made, etc. Without this information, participants have no way of preparing for the meeting, and productivity suffers. The vast majority of meetings I'm asked to attend don't provide this basic information.

Another good practice is distributing a summary of decisions and action items after the meeting.

If you're the person running the meeting, it's your responsibility to make sure that everyone is heard, not just the loud and assertive people.
It can be combined with a Federal jobs guarantee, where the Federal govt becomes a job provider of last resort. This sets a wage floor rather than a minimum wage and give real bargaining power to workers. I like this idea better than Universal Basic Income, because it prevents workers from becoming lazy and subservient to the state. Also, a lot of people find purpose through their work, so this helps people from losing meaning in their lives. The actual work to be done can be determined by each community, which knows best about what work is required (e.g. child care, landscaping, etc.).

There aren't any static classes... that's what makes america great.

Socioeconomic mobility in the US is amongst the lowest of developed countries.

If a lack of static classes is what makes a country great, then can we assume that a great many other developed countries with much more socioeconomic mobility are greater?

If what makes America great is all these opportunities, as you say, then something must have gone very wrong since so few people are using these opportunities to move up.

Defamation - A famously high bar in the US. It has to be a knowing and intentional falsehood and have caused measurable harm if I understand correctly. That really seems like the absolute minimum of limitations to me if we're going to have a hope of maintaining a functional democracy. (We've got laws against false advertising as well ...)

Campaign financing - Notorious for enjoying minimal regulation in the US relative to other developed countries. Again I'm not sure how else a functional democracy is supposed to be maintained?

Invasion of privacy - I'm a bit fuzzy on this one. Are you referring to things like HIPAA, or to something else? Bear in mind that such regulations only apply to the professionals who are already authorized to view the data. To me it seems similar to the confidentiality you enjoy when talking to an attorney.

I already noted that I disagree with the existence of obscenity restrictions. The other ones you mention (national security, government employees, emotional distress) are fairly nuanced and quite limited as far as I understand. The vast majority of restrictions seem to boil down to the generic idea of knowingly and intentionally working to break some law that isn't itself related to speech.

I just can't seem to get too worked up over such a practical set of restrictions myself. Does it bother you that you can't legally incite a mob, or intentionally teach an aspiring terrorist to manufacture explosives? Or do you just object to my characterization of that as being a minimal set of restrictions? But if that isn't minimal, then what is?

Somewhere I’ve read something in the lines of “I’m not five, I don’t have a favourite color”.

> I find it unfortunate that the academic discussions I witness tend towards “Wikipedia bad” rather than a more nuanced understanding.

Academia has always viewed tertiary sources as bad for academia (they might be fine for popular use outside of academia, but even as a gateway to useful primary/secondary sources in academia they are poor by comparison to proper research catalogs.)

> Some aspects of Wikipedia are great, and academia still has a lot to learn from web technologies.

Some aspects of Wikipedia are great, but Wikipedia doesn’t (by fairly explicit choice of mission) do anything to alter any of the reasons why tertiary sources aren’t any good for academia. Academia may have something to learn about technology, and maybe even Wiki technology, but that still far from having any use of Wikipedia as a product.

Annoyingly, I've seen some networks that try to "fix" problems by letting that go through even when not logged in. I'm pretty sure it had been fixed last time I flew, but Qantas in-flight WiFi used to be one example I'd seen. You'd connect, and then nothing would happen and no SSL connections would work. You'd either need a non-HTTPs site to get the redirect, or go to 'wifi.qantas.com' to accept the terms and conditions before you could browse. I was trying to work out why my iPhone and Mac weren't popping up that page as soon as I connected, and bizarrely captive.apple.com came up with 'Success' instead of redirecting, which means they must have misguidedly put in an explicit rule to let that through, completely breaking the feature!

To claim that the NSA caused or faked the Thailand flooding is conspiracy theorist bullshit of the highest order.

To claim that the NSA took advantage of an existing event to help their already-planned ordering fly under the radar more easily is perfectly plausible. And, honestly, pretty boring.

I did this recently with both lua (luaparse) and javascript (babel), and this is a fundamental tool to have in your toolbox once working with large codebases. Javascript has great tooling for this (see AST explorer and all the different libs it supports).

Before the 1.0 promise, Go used "go fix" to automatically update old code, and the standard library even has tools to manipulate an AST.

The linux kernel uses coccinelle for C code, which goes one step further, and lets you write "semantic patches", which is a DSL to do this in a compact way and without having to write code.
Colordrops said, "The Thailand story was a cover." This is the allegation. Not that the NSA bought a lot of drives and kept it secret, but that this purchase alone rather than the floods were responsible for the drive storage, and the flood story was fabricated. That is the alleged conspiracy.
Not the same thing as nesting forms, but when faced with similar challenges I found the <input form="form-id" /> attribute[0] is a good solution.

Not if you can discredit those who dare to speak out by labeling them "conspiracy theorists," thereby discouraging others from coming out as well.

A lot of people are against immigration because they compete in the labor market and take their jobs. This fuels right wing parties or the Brexit referendum. The real problem weren't the immigrants, they are just a group of people you throw out of the country, i.e. it's a something where you can exert control on the supply side of the labor market. The actual problem is that there simply wasn't enough work for everyone because the upper class kept hoarding fiat tokens.
Inflation has a mixed effect on the governments too.

Municipal governments are affected the same as you are.

And the federal government which issues the currency is also mostly adversely affected while marginally helping it (and all borrowers) defer paying off its debt. The additional money in its coffers is from its own creation* and doesnt help it purchase more (for long) as it has the same purchasing power and liquidity in the global market.

Its revenue sources, which are mostly tax these days, are distinctive from inflation.
