Just going to share a fascinating thing which at least to me explain that at the core, all beings are one – a conscious, eternal entity with self-awareness that experiences pain and pleasure.

If karma theory is to be believed, evolution happens at the level of individual soul (called jivatma) – gradually a soul takes birth starting from the smallest microorganism and traveling all the way through 84m type of species before becoming a human. It's not exactly linear and one can be stuck in the same type of species for more than once or jump to a human being early.
The difference between a human being and animal is the development of the intellect sheet of the consciousness; however, depending on what was your prominent animal tendency in past births, some humans act as lion, some as cow, some as folks, observable in their behavior. It's also possible to fall back to animal birth depending on your karma as a human or for other reasons.

Can we validate this theory? Yogic methods are there which requires mastering meditation (many enlightened beings have verified it such as Buddha). Scientifically I don't know. Maybe in future it'd be possible.

> Long story short, if you are working on a personal project, please, consider the most dumb setup.

This is not limited to personal projects. I can’t recall more than a single project I’ve worked on during the last decade where front-end code was really useful. Some cool stuff, ok, but never worth the pain.

I acknowledge it can be useful. For some real time project. Not for your crud-for-a-living.
I currently use a Blackberry KEYone, which I chose solely because of the physical keyboard. I haven't had any Blackberry before so I don't know how it compares, but there's a good chance if they keep releasing ones with a keyboard, I'll keep going for them.

One feature that I'd definitely miss without it is, on the home screen, every letter on the keyboard doubles as two configurable shortcuts (short and long press). Also the "convenience key", which I've yet to see on other phones - also configurable to anything, I set mine up so Tasker does different things depending on time/day/location.

The best answer I've seen, is that zero knowledge proofs as Zcash uses in isolation are superior to the ring signatures that Monero uses, but Zcash has one major flaw in that it allows its anonymity pool to be small.

What I mean by this is that transactions in Monero are always private, while users of Zcash can choose to send public transactions. What this does is it makes the group of users who send private transactions through Zcash much smaller and far, far more susceptible to being identified through metadata and process of elimination.

This is heavily simplified - and Monero community members would be happy to get into the weeds with you about it if you were to visit their realms on the web, I'm sure.
I often wonder, if LOGO, which was inspired by Lisp became more popular than BASIC whether functional programming would have become popular earlier. Many Gen X kids like me were exposed to both, but basic was more broadly avaialbe and often was the OS of your computer, But LOGO was really good for its time and it made it simple to structure your program around functions and build upon functions in a semi lispy/schemey way. It instantly change the way I thought about programming and often attempted to replicate that method of programming in basic.
Yeah, we can still consider the transaction to be safely received after 1 confirmation and provide goods&service.

This kind of supports the author’s point. Many times when using GraphQL you will fetch data in a way that matches how the front-end needs the data, not in the way that creates a clean decoupled abstraction for the backend.

How do you stop the spinner/load jank hell of 100 different components all requesting their own data? Not to mention, even if you're running a low traffic site so your backend performance is fine, the browser is limited to a set number of concurrent requests.

Locally, it might all go super fast, but as soon as you deploy it, that dashboard calling 30 endpoints is going to feel insanely slow just waiting for the network to become free for use.
I haven’t tracked this down, but I believe the authors of How to Design Programs did some research and basically found that whether FP or OOP is harder depends on which you learned first.
Are all people obese due to medication? The article from beginning tries to say it's not due to difference in total calorie taken and used. Is it really not the case? People always chose sugary food over fruits, veg and meat whenever they are hungry.

edit: Want to add that people also eat way too frequently, which makes us feel hungry (falsely) whenever not eating in that schedule. This can be averted by practice of eating less frequently few days. It does not mean starving, we just deviated from the normal and trying to go back.
> Not to mention the constant pain point of asking "does this modify in place, or does it return a new" when dealing even with the standard library, let alone -user- code

I don’t see how this is a pain point, JS is pass-by-value for primitives and pass-by-reference objects. Ergonomics, sure, but isn’t the lack of pattern matching a much bigger obstacle the lack of immutable semantic sugar?

Immutability is easy to gain, though, just make your variable object writable: false.

Best Buy also sells a million other things.
I just don't think that my individual choice does anything when the issues are systemic and entrenched at this point. Whether I buy a pack of sausages a week or not, the grocery store orders the same amount of meat and probably just throws away what doesn't sell, the taco truck buys the same amount of meat whether I go there this week or not. What would do something is if literally everyone in the entire city did it, but that's a fantasy.

I'm not a money laundering expert, but when you already using crypto with a huge chance to lose 10-30% on exchange rate flunctations I don't believe it's that hard to come up with an idea.

Let's say you'll make a fake startup funded by VCs from all around the world. There is plenty of people who will love to buy few million dollars with 30% discount.

This isn't about some petty crime though, but again it's much easier to move smaller amount of money anyway.
The size of the tumor likely makes a big difference too: a centimeter-sized lump contains 1000x more cells than a millimeter-sized one. It will contain 1000x more drug-resistant cells (given identical mutation rates). For example, a human brain tumor is likely to already contain hundreds of cells carrying a mutation for every amino acid in every protein. Thus for any inhibitor drug you try, hundreds of cells will already be resistant, and they will grow back the tumor in just a few months. That’s much less likely to be the case in a mouse tumor.
You make a really great point. This AI stuff is certainly powerful for whoever controls them, though I personally believe that's a problem with the operator or societal system rather than the AI itself.
People who never used them might not grok the incredible battery life of the older Blackberry. The models with the DataTAC radio and the 386 CPU could go well over a month between charges. The little one that was shaped like a pager ran on a AA cell.
Hope not. But if you compare the cost per gigabyte and internet connection, you'll get some interesting numbers and it's only gonna get cheaper. That's what Monero community counts on. So it hopefully won't be a problem.

On top of that, node operators can still run pruned node.
I think this is a good point. It also acts as a diversification/only-to-gain scenario; if Intuit's main business suffers due to increased scrutiny in the tax filing space, that have another source of steady revenue.

I would argue that mature frameworks like Rails or Django are peak productivity though - but, by all means, throw in a front-end framework like React to fill in the gaps if you need it.

I personally don't think the performance trade off is worth it. And it drastically increases front-end complexity in terms of state managment, which you now have to also manage in the client. The complexity is just moved further away from the server and productivity is gained on the visual part but lost everywhere else.
Just another reason to use graphql. I really don't understand why the industry has to spend another decade kicking and screaming until everyone transitions to using it.

I’m working on a project now with 64 front end components. So you’re advocating for at least 64 calls to the end?
I’ve “drunk the koolaid” and I mostly went the opposite direction on left-to-right pipes vs. right-to-left compose: with a(b(c(d))), order of evaluation will always be arguments->function call (in most languages) and, so d is the first thing evaluated. Pipes make it seem more consistent, but it also introduces an inconsistency.
I thought of the parasite angle later, touche. But the parasite survives the transition between hosts, so it doesn't really count from an "end a life" perspective.

The spider thing is interesting though. It would seem that being eaten by her children is an adaptation, not just an unfortunate consequence of harsh reality. The strategy appears to be: give my nutrients to my offspring, for they carry a part of me, and the survival of that part is more important than the rest.

Given that most of the cells in a human body are passengers, and not cells with human DNA in their nucleus (if they have nuclei at all), it seems pretty likely that something, somewhere, is making the same kind of sacrifice, and using a hungry human as the vehicle. And I think that ending a life on those terms falls in a different domain--both from an ethics perspective, and from a "how adversarial of an environment do you want to create for yourself"-perspective, than mere predation.

Strategies of that sort are more popular outside of the animal kingdom than in it (I think), which I think justifies a "different rules for different things" approach.
Technical peculiarities aside, if all zcash transactions were shielded each protocol would provide comparable adequate privacy.
I don’t think so. Most programming is CRUD which is by its very nature impure. Trying to make it pure just adds a lot of overhead and baggage.

I do think the stateless paradigm that serverless cloud has created is a step in the right direction. Most AWS lambdas are by their very nature impure though since you have to send the output somewhere at the final stage of the lambda.

I guess extreme privilege is a relative concept, so depending on where you sit it might very well appear that way to you.

The beauty of that particular accusation is that you can't really defend against it - as any disagreement can simply be used to infer an even higher degree of privilege.
I recently spent some time reading the kernel code for io-uring - however only for older revisions (5.4 - 5.7). There I found out that a lot of it is actually implemented on top of existing kernel functions for blocking IO and polled IO, and does not replace it and make the system fully asynchronous. Pratically that means with a 5.4 kernel doing lots of disk IO you will still have lots of threads being blocked on IO - only in this case those will be threads inside a kernel threadpool instead of in userspace. With 5.7 that model changed, and the threadpool is no longer necessary for read/write operations on sockets. Maybe also for files - but I don't really understand the kernel code well enough to confirm or deny that. And things might obviously also have changed for newer Kernel versions.

I still think its a little bit of a fallacy to think that eating vegetables is somehow better or worse for the world. Where did that carrot come from? A field in idaho that was once a forest hosting thousands of deer and other animals, that's since been clearcut and overfertilized to the point where the runoff is polluting the local river systems and making downstream ecosystems barren of life. There is blood on everyone's hands unless you set out to grow your own food on land that's already been scarred by someone else's poor behavior.

These are the realities of the modern world. You can either spend every second of your life stressing out about how it continually gets worse, and promises made decades ago by leaders are always broken in time, or you could try to block it out and take a more stoic approach to it all, and who knows maybe you might actually luck out and fool your brain into feeling legitimately good about things.

> Depending on how you organization is structured

I truly start to think that organizations with silos in what you can code are just wrong and prone to this over engineering thing.

Just make your backend the shared space between your teams. There is no reason a qualified front end or mobile programmer could not at least write the controller for the endpoint they need.

This is not really true. Intuit et al. make money from pretty simple tax laws that apply to most people, who use their consumer-grade prep software. The idea was the government could prefill your taxes and for this huge segment of the population that would be it; the rich or complicated returns could still be filed by accountants and specialized software. Intuit makes a huge amount of money off these relatively simple returns though, so instead lobbied to provide "free" tax software to the same target segment. It turns out their free software is anything but and they used it as a marketing ploy to funnel poorer people to paid versions. Having the IRS predefine your taxes would be far more efficient and wouldn't cost rich people any more. The tax code is complicated because of it's scale and interactions; neither impacts most of these basic returns.

I may have misunderstood what you're saying, but binding your endpoints to your entities isn't a bad idea at all. For example, even when you're not making an SPA and are using good ol' server-side generated Rails, you would still have a 1:1 mapping of pages to resources, and your "app" would move you from page to page as you did stuff. This works out pretty well because your resources are what people want to interact with!

Try out Basecamp sometime - watch the routes, they're all well bound to resources, yet it feels very much like an app. The progenitors of Rails are still doing things the old way and they're pretty good at it.
The Bold had an 802.11 a/b/g radio and it could seamlessly hand off a call from VoIP over Wi-Fi to the cellular network with UMA. Truly ahead of its time.
