I get the sentiment, and there might be nuggets of truth to the idea, but there are some fundamental aspects of biological evolution that make it different.

Biology evolves through mutation propagation, and larger populations tend to regress mutations to the mean more than smaller populations.

Behavior changes don't require any mutations, and they can be shared in all directions (unlike mutations, which can only be shared with descendants) This already fundamentally changes how societies can evolve.

Second, if this were true, the number of innovations would have decreased after we became globally connected. This hasn't been the case, as we have continued to innovate and create new things even after we have been globally connected.

While our global society does propagate some homogeneity (McDonalds and Starbucks everywhere), it also lets innovations spread very quickly, which gives more chances for amazing new things to propagate.

Great essay. This is a much more sophisticated analysis of construction efficiency than you typically find; most of them basically imply that construction is inefficient because contractors are dumb.

One minor comment: balloon framing is not a synonym for light wood framing, it's a (mostly archaic) version of it. Balloon framing features long exterior wall studs that extend up multiple stories, as opposed to modern "platform framing", in which the studs stop at each floor.

1. Spend some time working on the verbose mode of your program so that you can use the output for debugging.

2. Consider setting up another computer on your local network to run your simulation. I often use workflows where to run my program, I execute a makefile that Rsyncs the project directory and runs the program on a remote machine over SSH.

The same problems exist when you merge between multiple release branches, there is an inherent resistance to refactoring as it interferes with merges.

To me the solution is to migrate to trunk based development and hide new features behind feature flags.

The biggest issue with this transformation seems to be implementing feature flags in the code.

I recently bought a 2000€ Sony Bravia which I love, but the update adding ads is atrocious. I paid premium and still get fucking ads, it’s a nightmare!

The weirdest thing is that these ads have a political agenda, every day it’s for a new LGBT program. Every. Single. Day. Right now the three ads on the carousel are Pride on Disney+, Turn it Around on myCanal (French cable which I don’t use, I have no idea why I have ads for this one) and another LGBT documentary on France TV (same, I don’t have the app installed so no idea why I get this « recommendation »)

Edit: please don't downvote me for stating a fact, I don't emit a judgment of value here. The fact is 100% of the ads I get are flagged as LGBT, which IS weird. It's not the only subject to discuss, and not one I personally care a lot about. I could get ads for documentaries on economy, animals, food, tons of topics, but I just get LGBT. Maybe it's not your experience, but it is mine.

> there were a bunch of German "emperors" although they called themselves kings.

What does that mean? "King" was the word for the concept in every language except Latin, where it was still the word for the concept, but was avoided due to a cultural taboo.

A Roman emperor held many titles. English "emperor" derives from imperator, "commander", an honorific title given to generals. He was addressed as Caesar, originally a personal name, which survives in the German Kaiser and the Russian Tsar. To the Greeks, he was basileus, "king", because there was no Greek taboo on the word "king".

There was no title analogous to Near Eastern "king of kings" or Chinese 皇帝, explicitly set above the level of a "king".

But C lacks even strings, lots of C bugs and vulnerabilities are related to memory management, memory ownership and string handling. Even the C subset of C++ is better than C since it at least has more explicit type conversions that forces the developer to state his or her intent. One example of the C string problem is the strcpy(buffer, char* string) that copies a string to a buffer. If an external actor discovers how to manipulate the string size, he or she can take advantage of this buffer overflow vulnerability and even execute arbitrary code remotely if it is used in a server. If the application with this problem is a file, one create a specially crafted file to take advantage of this design flaw.

However using C in the case of the original poster does not matter much as the application is game-related not subject to untrusted input.

There have been complaints about these Google Launcher ads with Sony TVs for months. It's the reason why I didn't update to Android 9 and disabled all automatic updates.

Sony's "smart" TVs all come with Android TV (now called Google TV). Their top of the line OLED TV Sony Z9J starts at $8,000 in 75" and costs $10,000 in 85".
It started on 4chan with the 4chan Gold meme. Users would joke about a non-existent premium subscription that unlocked exclusive content. Reddit went ahead and actually implemented that idea, complete with the /r/lounge subreddit (available only to users with Reddit Gold).

Reddit users created Reddit Silver as another meme, indicating that a post was valuable (but not worth spending real money for Reddit Gold). Then reddit implemented that later on.

I am using a perfectly sensible notion of "dynamic" (e.g NOT static) when I am talking about "dynamic dispatch".

If your dispatch table is immutable (e.g static!), there's nothing dynamic about your dispatch!

> To mostly front-end developers who don't know much about the world outside of a browser.

Just for the record I'm a senior backend developer, who sometimes operates at CTO level in startups, and I suck at front-end development. But still electron makes sense to me. Or react native if it's mobile only.

The state of cross platform development is pretty bad.
I bought a Sony TV, not a Google one. I would have expected Sony to disallow this somehow.

I know a guy who researched aerated concrete. He used a slimy additive to help hold the bubbles. Basically, the compression strength of concrete is so much higher than necessary that addition of a large portion of air results in a material that is much lighter with more than adequate compression strength. He couldn't find interest among concrete companies in his state.
That's extremely ungenerous, and no more true about designers than coders.

Perhaps some designers start out have this immature attitude, but professional designers I've worked with are user-centered, not self-centered. That's just a professional prerequisite, and what you learn in design school as well.

And in any case, you could just as easily say about programmers starting out that they too often believe "Their Magnificent Program is the One Thing" and ignore what users actually need as well.

In any case, when it does happen (to anyone), it's not hubris, just immaturity. If something seems like the best solution to you, it takes experience and perspective to realize it's not always the best solution to others. But people generally learn that fairly early on.
I just stay away from Reddit links as much as possible. The user experience is atrocious and I agree with everything the article says. There is another point that the article missed (or perhaps never encountered because the author primarily focuses on the mobile experience).

In desktop Reddit posts are actually modal dialogs (don't believe me? Open a Reddit post in your desktop browser). I have this bad habit of clicking my mouse on the whitespace of any web page I visit (I guess I am the only one). The Reddit devs, for whatever reason best known to them, have added a click listener on the backdrop of the Reddit post (like I said, the post is a modal dialog). The moment you click it, the post closes to reveal the subreddit homepage that you were on. This has tripped me so many times I have rewired my brain to use my mouse carefully while navigating Reddit. This sort of design anti-pattern is also visible in USA Today. I don't know who first came up with this pattern but it sucks.

Use modal dialogs for what they have to be used for. Don't try to fool the user into thinking it is a page when it is actually a modal dialog.
I feel like, what is confusing you is that the parent is talking using broader/more general terms, rather than about specifics i.e. the state as an object which you can pass inside functions. His point, I believe, is that what causes problems/bugs is often when partially invalid state is shared, not so much specific implementation details like "are the modifications to the state visible because of mutation or because a copy of the state is passed around explicitly".
> If not even Microsoft itself writes native code for their own bloody OS then we're just doomed

I agree a native client would be great, although I assume this choice is more because Microsoft wanted it to be multi-platform across iOS, Android, Web, Mac, Linux, Windows, Chromebook e.t.c. and that would either require building it multiple times, or building it in html/js as the lowest common denominator (web).
But isn't this exactly why you end up slowing down? You get groups trapped in local maxima of behavior.

An isolated group is forced to find novel solutions because they don't have a body of evidence to lean back on.

In comparison, if you have an existing, known solution to a problem it usually makes sense to just use that.

It might be sub-optimal, but the odds you develop something better are low. So it benefits you to use the established method.

But the group at large would benefit more from having lots of people try novel things, because otherwise innovation stagnates as the "known" solution takes precedence everywhere.
Isn't cashing out the tokens as a user sort of pointless anyway? I'm an impoverished student and Brave gives me a way to tip my favorite Youtubers at no cost to myself. They can decide for themselves if they want to sign up and cash out. I think that's really the main intent of the BAT system, nothing deceptive about it. If I wanted to earn trivial amounts of money anonymously, there are plenty of ways to do that.
This is the reason why I don't feel too bad for Julian Assange, and why I don't refer to him as a "journalist." Not redacting PII is such a rookie mistake that I can't see it as anything other than journalistic malpractice.
The article does not even mention planning and permitting until the last sentence, but in my city that is virtually all of the cost. Fancy cabinet faces have nothing to do with the fact that a house costs $2 million.

When I look at what techies are trying to do I just shake my head. Factory_OS built an apartment building on Union Street in Oakland “in ten days “ but planning, permitting, site prep, finishing, and inspections added up to seven years. Believing that off-site fabrication helps this problem is right up there with believing that hyperloops can solve traffic jams, in the universe of nonsensical American beliefs.
Yeah, Apple products have a reputation as “luxury” products, but the value is solid. For instance, with few exceptions, their phones receive updates for at least 6 years after release. Cheap android phones will be lucky to see 2 and even Samsung only does like 4 (and that’s recent… before it was 3). The iPhone 4S was updated for 93 months, almost 8 years.

I generally prefer more open ecosystems, but Apple has built a pretty strong reputation for not just being an ad company and for making solid products that are supported much longer than competitor devices.

Literally not sure if you consider these old or new-builds for the purpose of this conversation?

I'd call anything post 1950 'new-build'.
There has to be a point where so many things are so heavily encumbered with ads that that there isn't actually a product left to sell any more, it's just a material vehicle for delivering more adverts. And things don't work well because all they're designed for is displaying ads. And the ads themselves are just ads for more ads.

And the wealthy will get their peace of mind as they buy out of the system while continuing to preside over and profit from it. It's just going to become another thing that poor people have to live with; subservience to the corporate overlords.

1. They are physically huge, and that means more leakage, when there could be none.

2. Inefficient front-end taking toll on everything behind it contributes to the rest of the chip doing nothing except dissipating power.

3. While cores on modern SoCs take much less space than everything else usually, front-ends still eat into the die area.

4. Front-end dictates how the rest of the core behind it is designed. I believe that X86 technical debt absolutely must exert its toll on that, and overall transistor count in the back-end.
I think in the U.S. the only place that makes the stuff (Aercon) is in Florida, and there's Hebel that has a plant in Mexico near Texas.
The majority of people on the planet have phones running an OS made by the same ad company, and they'd be rightfully pissed if their home screens were suddenly was dominated by ads.
Yeah, golden cohorts can work, but they are really hard to pull off, especially for logged out traffic (which is where you'd use most of these patterns anyway). Good luck tracking me over 6-24 months across different devices and locations. And cross-contamination is hard to prevent (for instance, the golden cohort might suffer from global effects like worse content due to loss of power users or even from stumbling across brand-damaging threads like this). It also just adds a lot of product complexity to keep behavior around that long.

That said, they can work. Twitter famously did something like that for their time-based vs algorithmic feed and I think YouTube does it pretty regularly.

The biggest issue, though, is that by the time you get results from any long-term experiments, most of the decision-makers (PMs, EMs, etc) have probably moved on away having taken credit for the short-term wins they delivered.
/r/Buttcoin has been about as bad smelling their own farts over the years as the Bitcoin subreddit has.

No, I don’t think like that. I’ve chosen to be optimistic when it comes to future career opportunities. (I could certainly choose to be pessimistic too if I wanted to. But still no-one knows how the future will play out.)

If one company goes bust, hopefully there will be others whom I can work for.

Then again, we all have different appetite for risk.

> Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world, where none suffered, where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program, entire crops were lost. Some believed that we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world, but I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through misery and suffering.
