You say “until we are dominated by idiot majority” as if it hasn’t happened. Just look at the platforms of the peoples vote to represent Americans. Rarely are they platform that would actually matter to the people and most of the time it is identity politics, nationalism, gun rights, and religion. We can’t even have a nuanced conversation about anything in politics that doesn’t devolve into an ideological/tribal argument. I think the US is already dominated by idiots in every state.
Under HP-UX, I had a script that did an "rm -rf *" once, prior to a cd.

> The board spent time (whilst schools were closed) deciding how to rename schools, something which has zero impact on educational outcomes.

I'd like to expand on this one, as it's been a particular frustrating one. It launched San Francisco's school system into the national spotlight as our Board of Education debated this publicly and initially planned to spend millions of dollars before the outrage and backlash canceled these plans.

Amongst other issues, they did short, haphazard research on the origins of the names of the schools, instead typing common Hispanic surnames into Google/Wikipedia, finding the first result, and deciding that the word colonizer being mentioned in the Wikipedia article was sufficient to rename the school. They problem? Wrong person, they didn't bother to look so far as the school's website to determine who it was named after. Here's a video of the full deliberation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1jj33NBAH8

That isn't the claim. The claim is the inclusion of a racial slur doesn't tell us anything. Instinctively, when I read it, I thought, "Oh, this is written by a independent vigilante, not by stakeholder".

But other commenters are right. It is compatible with being written by an independent vigilante, and it is compatible with being written by or on behalf of stakeholders.

I will withhold conclusion until further evidence is tendered.

I would assume the people bothered by an increase in byte-sized overhead are not the ones that are using 2^32 length strings.

About the cache, I think for small strings, scanning the whole string may still be faster.

Though adding a four-byte length prefix would make certain functions like strlen almost go away.

If you steal a '60s gibson guitar because you can't afford it the world is out 1 gibson's guitar worth of value. If you pirate a piece of software you couldn't afford the world is out nothing and you're up whatever value it can create for you.

Pirating software you can afford is a different equation (still not as bad as the theft of a physical item) but not what is being discussed.
The context of that "mastermind PR campaign" comment is a video watched now more than 70,000 times in which it's claimed that Coq is just not as good as Lean because it doesn't have quotient types, even though you can get them if you're willing to make the same trade-off that Lean does (broken SR). Calling Lean's framing a 'mastermind PR campaign' is of course still quite snippy, but I don't think it's totally unfair seeing as how it led to those comments.

>There has been some strong disagreements and even mud slinging between the Coq and Lean communities in the past. But I thought that axe was buried. I would like to move on.

I think it just takes time to fully move on. And while it's not the fault of the Lean community, when something like the recent quantamagazine article on formalizing mathematics essentially only mentions Coq to call it old and busted in comparison to Lean, that's only going to cause people to hold onto their resentments for longer.

Lessons from Volkswagen Breach
When reading the article, I was surprised to not see the other studies mentioned alongside the strict survival results. In developed/industrialized countries, the number of years a child has an involved father predicts their future income, even after controlling for education level, total family income, etc. Of course, these are in environments where survival is not exactly a close call.

Edit to add: I don't know if the results were able to be replicated in non-WEIRD societies.

This was one I came across a while back, was very useful: Jazz drummers’ swing ratio in relation to tempo. It seems far easier to understand than a few I checked out today including yours and the OP. And it sounds like the authors know what they're talking about, which is not the norm in papers about aspects of jazz.

http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.416...

It looks at the swing ratios of great drummers, i.e. people who actually swing! Tony, Jack, Tain and..well ok, Adam Nussbaum on an Aebersold playalong is a bizarre choice. It has some good graphs though, especially Figure 1. Mean swing ratio as a function of tempo (left) and absolute duration of second note as a function of tempo (right) for the four drummers and all excerpts and Figure 2. Swing ratio for the four drummers as a function of tempo.

It always boggles me why people went with null-terminated strings in C instead of just putting the length of the string in the first 4 bytes and then the string after that.

And just generally doing that for all arrays. That way if you're passed ONLY a pointer to the array, you can always tell how long it is without requiring the caller to tell you how long it is, which seems to be a common theme among C functions. And that also allows your string to contain null characters, which is useful in many circumstances.

I think what has separated the policy around Covid, vs. say the flu, is the death rate. If the death rate were closer to the flu, or below some threshold that takes spread into account, the response would have been much different.

If a better treatment was available that would lower the death rate that much, it would change the equation.

You might be astounded to learn that just prior to the pandemic, US manufacturing output in dollar terms was only about 7% smaller than China. [1]

Germany does about 35% the manufacturing output of China, with a mere 6% of China's population.

The US + Canada, as of 2018-2019, had a greater combined manufacturing output than China, with a mere 25% of the population of China.

North America + Europe still manufacture more than Asia does in terms of dollar value output. Asia produces more total widgets (of lower total value).

Germany is the per capita manufacturing king (and they also have been running the largest trade surplus). Poland has the highest percentage of its workforce employed in manufacturing globally.

The trend prior to the pandemic was for China's manufacturing position to erode due to their loss of the previously significant cost advantages they had (most everybody else had become far more competitive on manufacturing costs as incomes and operating costs in China had soared). The pandemic threw those trends into flux, we'll see how it shakes out this decade yet.

Don't let your politics override fact.
You'd just be ruining yourself, because the more you dump the lower the price goes. That'd not be a very smart strategy, wouldn't you agree?

Selling is happening, slowly, so it's being bought up by everyone else who doesn't know better. Once the buyers know better things are going to go down much faster. Give it another week or two. Maybe a month.

The dip below the bottom trendline of the S&P 500 is worrying and ignoring it is literally dumb.

I added the example of what i kept together, because that complex class was the junction class of 4 interfaces for server/client + receive/send.

The logic was much simpler to scan/change if you comprehend everything it does. Instead of only partially by abstraction. The use case that one thing was called for one-use case wasn't applicable.

I like clean code and apply it a lot. But it's not applicable for everything. I think you just didn't encounter the more advanced cases yet where it isn't, since they are not that frequent.

The spirit of clean code is to make readable code. Not the reality is that you have to adjust to the situation. They're is code were comments make sense. Comments can give context and intent ( look at code of sqlite for example).

He tends to be right in direction but hyperbolic in magnitude and early in timing.

Aside from the housing bust and Tesla bearishness (which again is hyperbolic - "ridiculously inflated" would be 80% crashes like what we've seen in the dot-com bust or Bitcoin crashes), he predicted large-scale water shortages in 2015; a bubble in passive investing in 2019; hyperinflation in 2020; and now this stock market crash.

I happen to think he's fundamentally right about all of these, but we aren't yet suffering from water shortages in a way that'd appreciably move the price; the S&P 500 is more than 50% higher than in 2019; we've seen high inflation (~5% annualy) but nothing close to hyperinflation (~50% monthly) so far; and about a -2.5% drop in the stock market over the last 3 days, which has otherwise set a record high.

Valuations in meme stocks and crypto are high enough that I wouldn't want to go into them now, and I also think that we will see a huge stock market crash when & if the Fed ever raises interest rates. But his 2022 prediction for "the mother of all crashes" seems very early to me, given that the Fed itself is forecasting 2 rate hikes in 2023. And if his 2020 prediction for hyperinflation pans out, we won't see a stock market crash, we'll see the stock market go exponential (as denominated in dollars) as people flee cash and seek alternative forms of currency.
My view is capital gains rates should be capped at some reasonable gain per year. So, for example, you'd pay the capital gains rate on the first 10% per year you earn on an investment. If you hold it 10 years, that would be scaled up appropriately (1.1 ^ 10). Then, once you make more than that, you'd pay regular income taxes.

That would avoid the issue of incentivizing gambling while not disincentivizing investment in the economy. Notably, it would also require founders of big tech companies to pay mostly income taxes, since their cost bases are so low (which I believe is appropriate).

Taxes should also probably be due on assets once they've been held for some period of time (say 5-10 years), whether they sell the assets or not. This would avoid the phenomenon where fantastically wealthy people borrow money against their stock holdings to avoid ever paying taxes, then use estate planning tricks to pass the money on to heirs.
Pgtyped looks really cool. So does Zapatos.

But my current gig has an absolute non-negotiable business requirement to support multiple database backends. Specifically SQL Server and MySQL in addition to PostgreSQL.

Additionally: Not seeing any way to take the schema info from either of the above and have it crank out a full GraphQL server code base. Check out my linked comment if you want more details, but I'm seriously talking 20-40k lines of code that I didn't need to write because the resolvers were auto-generated by the stack I'm using.

At least a first pass of Google searching isn't coming up with anything similar with pgtyped or Zapatos. And no, you're not going to convince me that 40k lines of code that shouldn't be necessary to write by hand are somehow superior to 1/100 the code that just includes the queries that don't map as well onto the ORM or the GraphQL generated code.

I’m considering using a .xxx domain for a non-adult site. (Software / Saas).

>we're big fans of situations where emulation creates a classic gaming experience that's actually better than what you could get with original hardware in some way or another.

I may be somewhat biased here, as a significant chunk of my income comes from buying and selling retro games, but I think it's extremely rare to get a better experience through modern emulation compared to the original hardware running
on a CRT TV.

There are a few exceptions where the developers actually made bad choices (Banjo Tooie is pretty much the only one that springs to mind; Rare put too much detail in and the framerate was unplayable), but overwhelmingly I find that developers were well aware of the limitations of the then-state-of-the-art hardware, as well as what displays consumers would be using, and designed the software with those limitations in mind.

SNES games with HQ filters, for example, are interesting and technically impressive but seem to lack some of the artistic cohesion and intent of the original software running on original hardware.

I understand that the original hardware will eventually die and that emulation will be the only way that these games are preserved, but at the same time I think it's best to preserve these as accurately as possible.
