What elitist drivel.

"well written code" is largely subjective.

Even visual layout can impact performance of the individual programmer.

There should be an IDE or IDE plugin that changes how code is laid out while editing, but not in the actual code. So, it's merely a visual layer, which can be adapted to the preference of the individual. Meanwhile, the actual code is forced into a specific style too.

Constantly changing the layout of codebases is impossible and will cause people to clash. So instead, let the individual control how they see things at the IDE level on their machine.

Stop forcing entire teams into 1 single view and let everyone control their own, without altering the actual source code.

Let everyone see the code and write it as they personally prefer, and let a post-processing tool based on diffs force the changed files into a specific style for the final repository.

The industry should stop taking choice away and let everyone have the code environment they feel comfortable looking at.

That logic has to go somewhere right? I'm not sure what the issue is.

There's the "heuristic" of expecting a property to not be expensive to access (which django already kind of throws out the window depending on how you fetch the model), but otherwise I don't see how services fixes this. Is copy and pasting that code over to a services.py file better?

Services are very nice for dealing with python's import issue. Accessing other models from a method / property on a model is ugly. But it's very hard to structure and name services in a logical way, especially when the lines start to cross. You end up with a "shared_services.py".

Storytelling for engineers
Good post (although I disagree with some of it).

Can you address the third option and forth option? (C) That Apple lowers its fees to a more reasonable level. Or (D) That they allow third party payment processors (but not third party stores)?

I'm a very happy Apple user. I just have a problem with them taking a 30% cut on everything I do, even after I've already paid $1200 for a phone. I just don't think 30% fairly represents the value they are providing for the "service" of vetting the store. I am willing to pay for that service. Just like I pay for Apple Music, iCloud storage and Apple Arcade.

The whole "third party store" thing is a distraction IMHO. Solve the Apple 30% tax issue and the case for it is pretty much lost. Even better: also require Apple to properly implement PWA's so users can (sort-of) sideload non App Store Apps (as you touched on).

People like that resemble modern day "wise men" or sages to me. Our middle school janitor was a math PhD who left academia, became a farmer for decades, and eventually our janitor.

He rarely told anyone his credentials. Most people thought he was just some old man. I watched parents and teachers be rude to him, but he'd always smile and be polite. Some of us used to help him from time to time. He was very kind and would always listen to our kid-sized problems while we worked.

Gengis Khan, afaik, was not a religious fanatic, or even an ethnic supremacist. His army absorbed warriors from different places and of different religions. What he required was fealty, not faith. This is how he built a colossal empire, Earth's largest IIRC.

An empire has to be somehow tolerant towards differences between the many nations it consumes. The process of assimilation, even if forced, can and usually does take centuries.

Faith systems are not like that: they require an immediate conversion, and an immediate and willing following the norms.
Thanks for the things to google, I've faked it till I made it and still have some knowledge gaps to fill in.
Exactly. FastAPI's maintainer was so unprepared he had to stir up a storm to prevent a legitimate Python feature from coming in. One of the benefits of a larger and more involved community process is the fact that each person exerts less individual control.

Uh, no. Just because one of your clients is wrong and some servers allow it doesn't mean it's allowed by the spec.

In fact, the HTTP/1.1 RFC defers to RFC2396 for the meaning of <abs_path>: <path_segments> which begin with a /.

What is <path_segments>? A bunch of slash-delimited <segment>s.

What is <segment>? A bunch of <pchar> and maybe a semicolon.

What is <unreserved>? Letters, digits, and some special characters (not including space).

Most HTTP clients and servers are pretty forgiving about what they accept, because other people do broken stuff, like sending them literal spaces. But that doesn't mean it's "allowed", that doesn't mean every server allows it, and that doesn't mean it's a good idea.

Sometimes reimplantation is impossible without the code and the paper goes on to win awards because it's by a famous scientist. Then if the reimplantation doesn't work most of the time the graduate students are blamed instead of the original work.

There are always assumptions. At least with public code and models those assumptions are laid bare for all to see and potentially expose any bad assumptions.

While not pursued by hate groups, they are actively preyed by pharmaceutical companies and politicians who don't let insulins go generic - one of the few medicines that can't. Yes there is complaint about the medical system in America, I have yet to see diabetic/nondiabetic show up under facebook ID's like He/Him/His, normalization of syringe usage in restaurants, blood sugar testing not become a spectacle (of course I pick this one because I know the most about it, but there are many disorders that could be used with it). Stigma, predation and debate is associated with many things, but this one will get you fired/excommunicated from society. Speaking ignorantly about "just eat less sugar" to a type 1 diabetic does nothing.

I agree that this isn't the most productive HN thread ever, with a lot of comments repeating tired talking points or going for quick jabs instead of reasonable discussion.

Unfortunately it's so poor that I judge it as being insufficient to use to form an opinion on this issue. It's much worse than the replication crisis at large, it's not clear that their methods prove what they claim in the first place if you look at their work. The pages I linked go into greater depth about why this is a difficult question to study and what the existing research gets wrong.

> The online echo chambers that children, including my own, seek out very much push the ideology that any claim to be male, female, non-binary or whatever must be accepted at face value.

That's as may be, but I suggest you read the WPATH standards of care if you're interested in what the medical community in general thinks about the medical treatment of trans people, including kids. It's a little out of date (2012), but if you can't find a knowledgeable medical professional nearby it's pretty much the gold standard, and is very well supported by evidence: https://www.wpath.org/publications/soc In particular, adolescents seem much less likely to desist than younger children.
I worked for a company that hired 4 trans women (out of 7 people total) during a "diversity hiring" push, then touted the diversity of the hires. All of the trans women had been raised and had gone through university as white men, earning comp sci degrees, before transitioning in their mid- to late-twenties. While I do not debate that those individuals represent a type of diversity in the current company makeup, it always struck me that they likely received the same privileges that most white males do in technical degree programs. As competent programmers, I'm glad they found good jobs. Did they represent diversity hires? I still wonder how HR departments take this into consideration when pushing for diversity.
> It funds things like higher education and healthcare

The US funds the healthcare above and beyond what any other country on Earth is doing. I think it's 50% higher than the next contender, per capita.

As for higher education, the US universities are doing much much better than their European counterparts. If you get a STEM degree, you're basically set for life in the US, pay your debts in no time and then enjoy a salary that can easily be 2 times higher than in Europe. In Europe you get a free education, which opens up the exciting opportunity to toil for 60k-80k (pre-tax) a year for the rest of your life. Take the tax out, and you're left with around 50% of that money.

The US universities are fine. The STEM graduates are fine. The problem is with all the non-marketable degrees for which students get into serious debt. I don't think we should subsidize those more, I think we should discourage students from attending useless degrees. If the government will pay for the degrees, then the government will also have a heavy hand in picking winners and losers in terms of classes, degrees, schools etc. This is how it's in Europe, and it shows, they are lacking performance.

e.g. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/french-unive...

To put it shortly: if everybody has X, then nobody has X.

Education and healthcare in the US do not lack funding. We don't need more money thrown at these nuanced and delicate problems.

Apple is correct that security researchers believe iPhones are more secure than Android devices. But that's not because of Apple's app store review process, which is notoriously inconsistent and uneven. The security of iPhone comes primarily from security features built into the iOS operating system itself – app sandboxing, memory safety, and permission prompts to access photos, contacts, etc.

These OS-level security features also exist in macOS which allows apps to be downloaded from any source and run safely. There's no reason that iOS couldn't follow the macOS model.

Nearly every macOS app offered outside of the Mac App Store uses Apple's "notarization" process, which requires developers to send a copy of their apps to Apple for inspection and malware scanning before Apple gives their seal of approval. When a user runs an app for the first time, macOS checks that the app has been notarized first. Apps that lack notarization require the user to jump through several hoops before they can be run which discourages novice users from proceeding.

Well we should probably take into account that the programme was made for entertainment purposes and not as evidence as part of a trial.
