The point of a database is to compute on. Nobody cares about the nanosecond precision time of when each event happened or the exact real-world ordering between them. What they care about is that all replicas process events in the same order so that they get deterministic results.

The strong consistency spanner provides gives that guarantee, whereas using causal consistency would not.

Yearly flu vaccines are available for elderly and high risk populations. Typically all personnel (medical, orderly, food service) in hospitals are required to take flu vaccines (as well a TB and others) every year. Not available with COVID until Jan-March.

With a death rate (using ICU intervention and the latest treatments) death rates in developed countries are still 5-15x higher than typical flus, and hospitalization rates are more than 10x higher. It also appears to be much more (r0 2x higher) transmissible (especially the delta variant). Those are differences in degree that create difference in kind. They cause the overload of ICUs, preventing treatment of other diseases and increasing all death rates!

Influenza does not normally kill 600k people in the US (with masks, social distancing, remote schooling, etc the flu effectively didn't exist this year). Hospitals don't normally run out of respirators and morgue space. These are all well reported and documented.

Three months after the publication you site, the nuance you're looking for was available (in Jan-Feb) when many schools partially opened (with lower density and masks). So all I see is a straw man.

> That's not what we see happen in life. Just look at how dearly we hold on to coal plants.

What a non-sequitur. Adopting a programming paradigm in the code that we write on a daily basis has rigorously zero to do with the infrastructure cost of switching energy sources.

This non sequitur about coal plants is even more absurd and ridiculous once we factor out the fact that the world is already moving away from coal to renewable energy sources, which is quite costly and resistant to change and subjected to an awful lot of special interest groups, and yet during that timeframe people still chose not to bother with functional programming fundamentalisms.

If an idea is good then it holds its own against alternatives. Even in their pet projects people tend to not even bother with pure FP frameworks. While hundreds of millions of euros are being spent on wind farms, people like you and me don't even bother spending a few minutes to get a hello world going with Haskell, even though it's effortless and trivial. Why'd you think that's happenin?
Well, because who wants to do business with a "regime". Think of the implications!

Exactly. We'd get customers thats sites would drown in bot traffic because they pulled the same shit, changing user agents, different ips, etc. I had to build custom mod security rules to block the patterns these boys would pull. What's funny is that the bots would have a site where you could control the crawl rates but it's just a placebo. They would crawl even if you requested them to stop.

The issue with bots hosted on AWS or any cloud for that matter is that as a web host you can't just block the IPs because legitimate traffic comes from them in the form of CMS plugins, backups, etc.

I think it takes a lot of work to ensure that removing depth and shading doesn't remove information, too. I think flat design inherently "wants" to be, if not user hostile, at least less user-friendly than what preceded it.

It's a win if the depth and shading was just noise, before. If it was signal, well, now you've got to find something to replace that with, or you're harming UX. And you've got less "bandwidth", if you will, to work with.

I think this is important point as a lot of the hot air from politicians in US is just about free or subsidized day care - but many/most of the people I know don't actually want to put their kids in day care at all, and would rather "stay home" with them. They just feel forced to with housing costs, etc. and not because of their "career".

That's a pretty strong take. One could easily have read it as "required for the game" as in, the multiplayer experience drives the replay value of the game, ama prolific cheating destroys the community.

Of course, it still makes me avoid such games, but saying the argument is invalid because required only means air and water is absurd.
Then why do we still see cheats in these games? In this day and age, surely they could just use ML and human supervised cheat detection teams, and set up the incentives to make account bans more painful.

Instead, we get security theater and everything must be F2P to get the maximum number of people in the door.

Facebook makes $32 per user per year. That is across all billion+ users worldwide. They make around $170 per user in the US And Canada. No non-advertising monetization strategy will come close to that number. Assuming 10% of users pay (which is a very generous assumption) you'd need to have each user in the US pay $1700 per year!!!!

Does anyone else want to rant about Reddit’s AMP pages that show up on Google? Oh I could go on about it…

The managers at Reddit, in their infinite wisdom, decided that the preferred experience of a Google user searching for content on reddit should redirected to their wonky app. And if they don’t have the app, they should be punished with modals upon modals. “Reddit looks better in the app!” Oh, you disagree? Well press this tiny button to indicate your unsaved preference and we will allow you to view a preview of the thread you came for. But…if you can find the illusive button which shows the whole thread, we will grant you full access — after asking you to install the app again!

It’s enough to make the designers of the Get Smart door scene collapse in embarrassment knowing that their parody has become the reality of every unsuspecting person who just wants to browse Reddit.

And while I have you here, please tell me what’s going on with the Reddit’s scroll positioning when navigating out of the site. Just by clicking a external link in a thread, you’ve not only lost your position, navigating back to Reddit will tease you with the last version of the page before everything refreshes back to the top.

And God forbid if you keep a tab open up for too long, encountering the most obnoxious error screen imaginable. “Ouch! Something went wrong. Refresh!” Yeah, something did go wrong. You broke your site. You killed the golden goose. You were the Chosen One! It was said that you would destroy Digg, not join them. Bring balance to the force, not leave it in darkness.
This doesn't read as anything close to "shilling" to me. It compares lazy evaluation to copy on write, then brings up a drawback of lazy evaluation with absolutely no claim that the benefits outweigh the downsides. It certainly does not appear to be pushing anyone else to use the language.

> The set of people using dynamic languages isn't just "those that haven't had their eyes opened yet to what static languages can do".

This was more aimed at people who are new to the idea of parsing over validating. In a strong statically typed language, the type system would naturally guide you to use this approach so if this isn't natural to you then time in other languages would probably be worthwhile.

The problem is that a part of the marketing endeavor requires investment namely media budget (assuming that the entity you're outsourcing to will have copy/design skills).

You can go through the route of organic reach, but that takes time to build.

Locking a deal based on revenue share might be a good way to top things off. But unless you have an extremely good product I don't see people up-fronting budget for anyone's project.

Remember that in the end it will depend on the product/service... if the value isn't there, you can have the best marketing but things won't happen.

So I think the answer is, it's too risky.

Can confirm. I worked at Pratt & Whitney testing jet engines early in my career. At the time I read a similar article and spread it amongst my colleagues - the cognitive dissonance was palpable.

As engineers we had been taught that lift was due to air above the wing traveling faster than air below the wing and thus creating lift by way of a pressure differential. The more accurate answer as seen in the article is that the effect is better explained through Newton’s laws as a re-vectoring of horizontal thrust in a downward direction. Literally the engine pushes horizontally accelerated air downward and the action-reaction mechanic causes an equal but opposite upward force lifting the plane.

Amazing how so many experts could be so wrong in their understanding while the planes continue to fly.

It reminds me of how hummingbirds don’t know that they violate the known laws of physics when they fly.

Its perfectly tractable though. Just because you don't understand it or don't think it is, doesn't make it true.

> "Every programming paradigm is a good idea if the respective trade-offs are acceptable to you."

That's not what we are responding to. Nobody here is arguing over this statement. We are responding to you assertion that static typed compile-time checked languages _prevent_ you from having dynamic dispatch and that you _can't have_ routers because of that. Neither of which are true.

Dynamic languages prevent you from having compile time checks. Does that make them bad? Static languages give you compile time safety, but if you're willing to forego that [1], then you can get the EXACT SAME behavior as dynamic languages give you.

You literally said:

For example, one good reason why strong static types are a bad idea... they prevent you from implementing dynamic dispatch.

Routers. You can't have routers.

Nowhere did you say anything about trying to implement it at compile time. Also, if strong static types are a bad idea because you can't maintain them all the time, then dynamic typed languages are a bad idea because you don't get static types ever, its always at runtime.

Just because a hammer can't screw in screws doesn't mean its a bad idea, it just means that you can't use it for all use cases. This is the same. You can use static types and for the few cases where you need runtime dynamism, then you use that. That doesn't make the static types in the rest of your code bad. It just gives you additional tools that dynamic types alone don't have.

[1] to various degrees, its not all or nothing like you seem to be implying, there are levels of middle ground, like std::variant which maintains safety but you need to enumerate all possible types, or std::any which is fully dynamic but you give up compile time checks
