Playing as Devil's advocate here. I think that "good work" is much wider that you are considering.

Having quality time off with your partner is "good work"
Raising your children is "good work"

In a more philosophical way. "Work" could be defined as trying to make a change in your reality. So yeah, that life discovering the arts, eating tasteful and healthy food, and spending time with your beloved ones is "good work" and requires ability, practice, and time to do it well.
> Yes puts or calls can get you liquidated by swings.

No, when buying puts/calls, you can't get liquidated by swings. The worst that can happen is that they expire worthless.

They could get liquidated if you borrowed money to trade them, but that's not in the nature of the put/call, that's in the nature of borrowing money to trade.

In this specific instance, I understand the author bought puts with actual money, and there's no way he could get liquidated by whatever swing.

I agree with everything you said, and a lot of what Paul said. You’re just talking to different people.
The only other alternative suggestion I have is to make sure there is rdfa or microdata markup on all pages.

Rather than have an explicit protocol for social media apps, the idea is that anyone can do whatever they want: it's all just stuff on a page. Then we interoperate by writing scrapers that can "see" the standard posts, pictures, calendar events, marketplace postings, &c.

ActivityPub is probably a better basis to work from, all in all. There are some advantages though to making social media pages more semantically expressive, to decomposing the page from a big monolithic thing into a thing that has other things on it.
This is especially questionable given the much shorter deadline that Project Zero gives other companies to fix bugs before publishing their vulnerabilities (regardless of whether there's been a fix). It only seems fair that Google should hold itself to the same standard.
Same, but also adding a lot of fake data. Then again, they're probably smart enough to figure out what is real.

But sometimes they do. There've been dogs -- you think you've befriended the creature, then it gets the wrong idea, then you push it off, and you try to remain friendly, but that doesn't work exactly, because it gets all weird, exactly as though it's been spurned. Which I guess it has. "Sorry, you're just not my type."

I've accidentally done this to humans, too.

Though, look at it: If you were stuck inside a house all day with no friends and no opportunity to find a mate, you might get desperate too. I'm talking about the lonely dog.

But I suppose these coronavirus lockdowns have put people in a similar situation. I wonder how much more of this kind of unspeakable thing has gone on in the last year? Norms strongly influence what people admit to. Remember when everyone was straight?

I second this. Each and every time I met someone who lives by the motto "I work smart not hard" or a version of that, they ended up being lazy, or stupid, or - most often - both.

We live in a world where the "average" is actually very high, so working hard, really gets us right around average; in order to break that barrier, in order to be >1 standard deviation from mean, we need to work hard and smart; and the road to >2 standard deviation is brutally hard.

You misunderstood the terms. Economically Durability refers to an asset that doesn't decay with time. Historically, things like cows, sheeps, wheat and other things were used as money. Those things are not durable: they rot or are consumed. Gold, silver, paper/fiat money and BTC are durable.

Portability refers to the ability/costs to transfer your money from, say, New York to Singapore. Transferring USD is cheap and easy, but transferring BTC isn't expensive either. Specially when compared to transferring cows or a gold bar.

Storability is somewhat related to durability: you should be able to store your money, forget about it, and recover it later without loss. Think of burying gold and coming back for it in five years: all your gold is still there. Wheat seeds or cows not so much. BTC is perfectly storable: the very first mined BTC would be the same BCT for years to come. I would say that paper money loses against BTC and gold in this concept, but then again, fiat money works exactly like BTC.

Losing your wallet is another concept not related to storability: you can also lose a gold coin or a $100 bill.

There's a certain point of working hard enough to clear the interview bar of the FAANG companies or similar, but beyond that your financial success is largely tied to a favorable roll of the dice.
>"Much simpler"

I don't think so. I bet you could make a reasonably performant ICE from scratch, yourself. By "scratch", let's say - from chunks of any homogenous material you want. You would have absolutely no chance of doing the same for an electric car (unless you made a lead-acid system with crude, mechanical switching for motor control, which was not considered performant in 1900).

The only way that such a statement can be made, is because the marvels of the modern, global component supply chain have completely obscured the amount of design and material complexity present in items we take for granted every day.
jQuery is still my bread and butter for DOM manipulation and events. I've found it to be much more readable than vanilla JS.

My reply was based on the interpretation that the author defined work as "doing your job". That interpretation was mainly based on him mentioning Bill Gates not taking a day off from Microsoft (his company and job) in his twenties, and the writer Wodehouse spending so much effort on his livelihood, writing. So I think my interpretation is correct.

The article strongly correlates this interpretation of "working" with "being happy". Two quotes:

> When I asked Patrick Collison when he started to find idleness distasteful, he said

>> I think around age 13 or 14. I have a clear memory from around then of sitting in the sitting room, staring outside, and wondering why I was wasting my summer holiday.

And

> Now, when I'm not working hard, alarm bells go off. I can't be sure I'm getting anywhere when I'm working hard, but I can be sure I'm getting nowhere when I'm not, and it feels awful.

My point to the above is: if you feel awful when you don't work hard on a job, by all means work hard on a job.

But if you feel fine only working moderately hard, and that is enough to fund your true passions, pleasures and happiness, do not feel bad for not wanting to work hard on a job.

And the reason I felt the need to say that, is that "hustle culture" [1], which this essay is not far away from in my opinion, might make people believe (incorrectly) that only people who work hard at a job are valuable and worthy human beings.

> Working hard in the mailroom or stocking shelves at a grocery store isn’t going to translate into a successful software career

Right, but it might lead to satisfaction regardless. Even the most menial positions are often rewarded. I have worked a few menial jobs, and effort is even more important. When I worked hard and went the extra mile when required, I got rewarded with better shifts, more flexibility and more respect. It also personally felt good.

I find that people who don't work hard and are apathetic about the work they do are often deeply unhappy, while people that take pride in their work and work hard are satisfied. The best feeling I get in the day is after a grueling workout. There are health benefits sure, but its not worth the amount of discomfort and suffering I have to endure. If there were a pill that gave me the same benefits, I would be less satisfied than putting in the work. But maybe that's just me.

People who work hard often have better personal circumstances as well. Who would want to be with a partner that just spends their life going through the motions with no real purpose or drive?

The imagery this produces is very similar to the one I see when I close my eyes and focus on the initially brown/red patterns that later become complex shapes and sometimes creatures.

I am missing the argument here -- its better to legalize than not legalize, but you are against legalizing? To level set, I don't think many people believe legalizing will make everything rosy. I believe instead they think it will improve the situation, and optimistically free up resources used for criminalization that may be better used for treatment, i.e. instead of training someone to be a cop you can train them to be a nurse.

We got some of the first ones at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC, and I used them to perform (unclassified) molecular dynamics simulations. People used them to scale up all kinds of simulations. The language was a special dialect of C called C*, which was essentially C with array extensions that made doing arithmetic on the CM (which, as other commenters point out, was really just a big array processor) relatively easy to program. It was a single-instruction-multiple-data model, where each little processor got its own piece of the array. Then as now, the way to get speed was to minimize communication among processors.

I hate the whole "hard work," but not "long hours" sort of discussion. Basically, if you work hard, but not long and succeed, then your hard work was "valid", if you work "long hours", which by some definition is "hard work" but don't succeed then it was just "long hours" and not "hard work."

In other words, as long as you succeed whatever work you did is considered "hard work" or "working smart", etc. etc.
You bring up a really good point. I'm super curious what the legality and ethics around training machines on licensed or even proprietary code would be. IIRC there are implications around code you can build if you've seen proprietary code (I remember an article from HN about how bash had to be written by someone who hadn't seen the unix shell code or something like that).

How would we classify that legally when it comes to training and generating code? Would you argue the machine is just picking up best practices and patterns, or would you say it has gained specifically-licensed or proprietary knowledge?
The reality is that we aren't very close to a world where everyone runs their own servers. Maybe we'll get there some day, but that feels at least a decade away.

We built an alternative platform called Skynet, which allows anyone to host decentralized webapps like blogs, or even more advanced things like chess tournaments. There's a design pattern called a DAC that makes it easy for multiple frontends to use the same data, without anyone needing to learn a data spec.
Presumably, this will be accessible through a REST API or something like that at some point, so that it can eventually be integrated into all editors.
It doesn't work this way. You're also responsible for your poor hiring decisions, including third party providers.

I think it's common when compared to other industries, though maybe not generally common. Admittedly I have no data to back up this hunch.

If I'm wrong, please correct me, but my interpretation of what the person you're replying to was trying to get at was that modest savings from a 23+ year old software engineer, to the tune of $800/month or $10,000/year (this could be 401k match and contributions) will get you pretty close to a million.

Using this calculator[1] with an assumed rate of 6.7%, $0 initial investment, $800/month, compounded semi-annually and a variance of 1 netted $891,000 within 30 years.

I think $800/month for nearly all software engineers is doable.

> If your app is spending a significant amount of time doing virtual DOM diffs, then sure. The virtual DOM overhead is a problem. However, saying it’s pure overhead and then not qualifying how much is a catastrophic failure of reasoning.

I think you're interpreting their messaging as "Svelte's compiled DOM is faster than virtual DOMs ergo Svelte is appropriate for every application" whereas the implication is certainly "Svlete's compiled DOM is faster than virtual DOMs ergo Svelte may be a good choice for applications that are constrained by virtual DOM". I don't think it's a reasoning failure, but rather a misunderstanding (an inadvertent straw man on your part).

> Svelte probably hasn’t taken over because the real world isn’t synthetic benchmarks and most apps have more significant concerns than how many times a component can update per second - and even then, in my experience React is more than capable of doing a decent job here

I think this makes a fair amount of sense. Often an incumbent needs to be quite a lot better in order to justify the learning curve, and I'm not sure that Svelte is. That said, I've been part of a lot of Python projects because Python's problems don't often manifest for new projects, but rather at scale (real workloads suffer from Python's poor performance, development velocity decreases at scale due to type annotations, package managers crawl as the dependency tree grows beyond the "toy" category, etc). I wonder if perhaps there's a similar effect in which React is "good enough" for new projects but not enough for

> The irony is that Svelte compiles code that will then run on a JIT under a JavaScript engine. That’s strictly overhead.

I don't understand this claim. In order for it to be "strictly overhead" we have to assume that Svelte's compilation step has no benefit i.e., the output code doesn't reduce the JIT's workload but even more than that, the output code has no advantages (i.e., performance advantages) over React?

> I know this article is from 2018, but it never landed well for me, and Svelte’s virtually unchanged irrelevance should be some kind of cautionary tale. I don’t think there is anything wrong with Svelte. But this isn’t how you sell a framework to programmers, in my opinion.

The way you sell a framework to programmers is largely by the backing of huge tech companies who use it in large, noteworthy projects. That's presumably not an option available to Svelte developers?

Every organization has to be cost-aware. It catches up to you eventually.

For context, in my home town of Sudbury, Ontario, our leading university (Laurentian U) kept growing and investing in new things. There's lots of debate around the merits of what they were spending on. But it caught up to them in the form of bankruptcy.

One of the few things I like about capitalism (there aren't many, but that's just me) is that it gives a laser-clear focus. Just because an organization is a non-profit doesn't change that. At some point, you either bring in more revenue than you spend, or you fail.

Governments that continuously overspend eventually have their debts catch up to them, too. (See: Every empire in history.)
I could be incorrect, but my understanding is that the DHT used to route through IPFS is not robust to attack. A bunch of nodes could join the DHT and start maliciously routing data in circles, and that would be a very low cost way to significantly disrupt data availability and uptime on IPFS.

A few papers exist that describe byzantine fault tolerant DHTs, but they make assumptions about the percentage of evil nodes, which requires some method of authentication / Sybil resistance to be effective. Also the network cost blows up substantially, and DHTs already aren't very fast in terms of loading things like web pages.
