This is from 10+ years ago, but my biggest gripe with SOAP was that if you didn't have the exact same library on both ends then you have problems. Apache Axis vs CSF vs soap-ws, and that's just Java. Java to .NET was almost impossible to pass around.
Is there any study showing that twitter following or like count or whatever translates into more sales for businesses? The way I see it, Twitter is just a super loud minority that doesn't represent at all the general population.

All of these "uses energy per transaction" people are being underserved by their news sources on the development of the lightning network, which is like going from a LAN with global broadcast to NATed and routed TCP/IP (Bitcoin is a global broadcast layer and lightning is a transaction bundling / routing layer/network). I mean an entire country has adopted it and we still have folks on hacker news missing the disruption for the trees!
It was technical, of sorts. The initial demand for diesel refit was because Australia has no home nuclear capability and wanted to be able to do some of the maintenance locally. Otherwise they spend half their time in the northern hemisphere.

This may be a precursor to increased US naval presence/base in Australia.

Psychologically, it'll probably get the response Twitter is looking for. It will make people behave.

It does look like an abuse tactic to me though. It is completely rejecting the idea that your opinion of what you said could have merits that Twitter doesn't see - the dynamics that that is calling on are pretty gross. In a relationship; such behaviour is a red flag.

Altruism basically means you are working for favors instead of money. However, people are much more likely to default on favors owed to you because it is harder to compare the value of one favor to another, and this creates opportunity to return a favor that is worth less than the one you were given.
You could say that about most communities though. For every person that submits an article to HN, how many readers are there?

This doesn't invalidate your point, but the motors in electric cars are also liquid cooled just like ICEs. The system is a bit simpler since you're cooling a motor and not an engine, but ultimately it's a water cooling system and needs gaskets etc.
We chose to use Rust instead of TypeScript for the front end of https://github.com/tangramdotdev/tangram.

This allows us to:

* Share code with our server written in Rust.

* Avoid keeping types in TypeScript in sync with Rust.

* Do server rendering without including a JavaScript runtime.

* Avoid maintaining a JS stack, including TypeScript, Prettier, ESLint, and a bundler.

Because we split our project into many crates, incremental build times are about 1-2 seconds on a linux desktop. This is not as convenient for quick iteration on UI/UX as hot reload with React, but on the other hand, code that type checks is more likely to run correctly.

Overall, I would say that the trade offs are not clear, even for our unique case where we have a server written in Rust.

I am hopeful that in the future, browsers will enable native DOM access from WASM, and the Rust compiler will support code splitting between multiple WASM entrypoints. When this happens, I think there will be a strong case to recommend Rust for more front end projects.

I've noticed that there were a number of high profile social experiments around that time (50's-70's) that tried to show something inherent elements of humanity that cause us to turn evil. The Stanford prison experiment, Robbers Cave experiment, The Third Wave, etc. When you start to look deep into any of these, they all seem to have mostly been done by charlatans who manipulated results and sensationalized findings in order to get publicity.
Ah hah, good to know; I didn’t find that comment in my search. Seems odd to me because the main screenshot I’ve seen <https://www.mediumwell.com/wp-content/uploads/newsprint-just...> exhibits identical line-breaking to greedy, just with inter-character spacing being done. On reflection, the narrow width combined with lack of hyphenation does make that a rather pathological case where there’s not much for Knuth-Plass to work with, beyond perhaps lines 14–16. (I haven’t actually tried Knuth-Plass on it.) Well, even if it did activate Knuth-Plass, it also enabled inter-character spacing which is rather bad for English and a most curious combination.

I’m almost tempted to get out a VM with old IE (I’m guessing it was removed by IE9, though I suppose I could check it on IE11 first which I do have ready access to) and compare it more.

Fred Brooks wasn't just making an observation.

He was making a case that there was no room for such significant jumps in software efficiency because most software development was now focused on essential complexity, not accidental complexity.

http://worrydream.com/refs/Brooks-NoSilverBullet.pdf

That argument does not hold water to me for two reasons:

1. I think a lot of programming, from glue code to optimization to bug fixing, is still accidental complexity.

2. The level of reuse is still nowhere near reflective of the fact that the majority of code is recoding of already well known algorithms, patterns, and methods with only slightly differences for the current problem context. This happens for business, technical and social reasons.

So I see huge potential for progress. Whether that progress will ever involve a 10x improvement due to a single major insight I don't know. But there is room for it to happen.
I drove a Smart for a few years. One feature of the computer controlling the transmission was that it's supposed to "learn" your driving and adjust its shifting accordingly. Mine always ran pretty darn good. I could also put the gear shifter into manual mode where it would only shift when I told it to, and it was much faster on the shifts.

The mother-in-law also had one. Hers drove like crap, much like you're describing. It's annoying to ride with her no matter what she drives. We'd do the reset procedure on hers and it would behave a bit better for a couple weeks.

I suspect the computer would have a helluva time guessing what to do next if there's a different driver every day.
Personally I really dislike exceptions and try/catch in languages. I don't like having to worry about whether some function call is going to surprise me with an exception, and handling them with try/catch really breaks the flow of the program.

I'm sure there's probably a lot I can learn to make this better for myself because I don't work with exception heavy code very often, but I find working with simple error value returns like in Go or error types in Haskell/Rust to be so much more ergonomic and comfortable to work with.
I actually started dating after I left university when I was twenty one years old. Till that moment I was drinking monster and playing dota most of the time while occasionally program something. Sad thing is I was terrible in that game.
I don't believe Apple or secrecy is the story here. I think the real story is how the pandemic + slack has changed corporate politics. It used to be that most corporate concerns were raised through HR or the management chain, and power ultimately rested with the executive. Now, Slack means it's much easier to put anyone on blast, and it's much harder to control the narrative. Combined with the pandemic, where all socialization happens through these tools, and old corporate cultures are disappearing. Apple is probably one of those that relied on in-person culture more than most. However, I think what's happening here is happening everywhere that has company-wide chat.
You are not more free in the US than you are in Australia. Unless you cherry pick specific laws (guns for example) as the definition of what freedom is. Freedom to me means having choices. So if you pick (say) healthcare then not having access to healthcare in the US (for example) means you have less freedom in the US than most European countries. If you pick guns then people living in failed states have more freedom than the US because there are no laws stopping them from (say) acquiring nuclear weapons (illegal in the US). My point is that claiming that you are more “free” in country A vs. B is very much a subjective assertion.
My point was that Australia/UK/US could have done this in a way which offended France less – invite them into the discussion, tell them that Australian wanted nuclear submarines, even tell them that the UK/US HEU-based submarines were more attractive than France's LEU-based ones – and offer them some consolation prizes such as engineering consulting, joint training and joint exercises, manufacturing of some parts. Maybe even officially bring France into AUKUS and make it AFUKUS.

Now, if they'd tried to do that, maybe it wouldn't have worked out – but it appears Australia/UK/US never tried, they did all of their negotiating completely behind closed doors, without telling France what they were doing, and then presented it to France as a fait accompli. If they tried to include France, and the discussions had broken down, France still would have taken it better than the current situation, where Australia/UK/US made no attempt to include them.

France is officially an important and long-standing formal ally to the US and the UK through NATO. Australia and France do not have a formal military alliance, but had been describing each other as "strategic partners". I think the way Australia/UK/US went about this has caused unnecessary damage to their relationship with France. They could had arrived at essentially the same outcome in a way which caused far less damage to that relationship. Viewed in that light, I don't think geopolitics is very relevant – whatever the value of France as an ally or partner, needlessly offending them is just stupid.
What makes you believe that competition is what improves “things”?
Yes, the thing is that Twitter is also accessible to people who are not everyday English speakers.
I always get those "calming meditation" music videos in recommendations, or "5 Powerful Psalms to Help You Sleep" which is on my homepage right now. Every video is from a different channel named something like "Calming Truth", and I can tell at one glance of the thumbnail that it's one of "those" videos.

I have never, ever watched one, and I always click Not Interested, or Don't Recommend Channel. But they keep on coming. There seems to be an endless supply of them.

Reeder app, especially now that it comes with a decent iCloud sync and a free Read Later service. The one time pricing is very stressfree, not to mention their polished UX making for a very pleasant experience. If you're comfortable on an Apple platform there's Reeder for desktop and iOS and they're all solid. I do miss a feature or two from Feedly, but in general am a very satisfied convert.

You can’t depend on web fonts. They may fail to load for a variety of reasons, or be overridden for reasons of accessibility or user preference. In short, you can’t get it right in pure CSS, and once you require JavaScript anyway, there isn’t at least as much point in precomputing it.
> The longer the exception handling blocks in a file, the more likely the file is to contain bugs.

It is difficult to design a sophisticated error handling system. For various reasons. For example it is rarely talked about -- everybody focuses on how to get stuff working and errors aren't really hot topic people find interesting.

I think, given the above, you have most chance of success with really simple error handling systems. The simplest is to only handle things you can really handle at the current frame and let everything else filter to the top and interrupt entire process. It is not perfect but it has the virtue of being simple and easy to make foolproof.

> The Ignoring Interrupted Exception and Log and Throw patterns corelated with post-release defects in one of the projects they studied, but not all.

Interrupted exception does not happen in real usage in a lot of applications, especially backends, where the environment is very well controlled.

Log and throw can be a legitimate pattern. It makes sense when the exception travels outside some kind of boundary like module/library boundary. A REST API is an example of boundary and it is normal to log the error but still throw it (to the client). It also may possibly make sense to log additional information available in local scope and throw the error up the stack. It doesn't always make sense to convert the type of the exception to be able to add more information to it.
> I also try and remind myself that the original Malthus was wrong

Was he wrong in the sense his predictions didn't make sense, or was he just mistaken about the timeline because he didn't predict us getting lucky with Haber–Bosch process and finding shitload of oil to burn? Because I feel it's just the latter - which doesn't invalidate the predictions, just delays them.
They could have also just built the PoC app and presented it after the fact.

In my experience, managers aren't usually malicious, they're just risk-averse. They've seen good pitches turn into failed projects. A working PoC counts for a whole lot more than just a plan.
The goal of creating this tool is for long-term users. I doubt people who complain about it will use the tool more than a few times a year.

That said, I will be working on the web version.
I should add that we wrote a crate called pinwheel that uses futures-signals for fine-grained reactivity, uses the builder pattern to avoid macros entirely, and supports server rendering:

Speaking is only a small part of communicating. A sign language interpreter is just the person's "voice" but their approach on how to treat a customer is still theirs, not their interpreters.

EDIT>> For those missing my point. If Chris Voss suddenly needed a sign language interpreter, he'd still be incredibly valuable for his ability to negotiate. A person's skills in communication aren't solely tied to their ability to speak.
I could go on for days …

A - The majority of data science insights is kinda useless for guiding software product direction. Much better to have a well defined strategy and just execute on that, tradeoffs and all. I have to engage in the game because that’s what my boss expects.

B - In 100 years we are going to look back at pet ownership with disdain, especially cats, because how could we keep these animals in an environment that’s so restrictive if they are indoors, and how could we unleash them on the ecology if they are outdoors?

C - If you want to help the poor, and save money on prison expenses, then funding public defenders is really the way to go.

D - I love the US and what it stands for, but if there hadn’t been a revolution then no big deal, we’d probably be in the same place more or less.

E - Govermentment intervention didn’t solve the great depression, it made it worse.

I hold these all equally strongly.

Please avoid making these type of snarky comments with (incorrect) assumptions about me. A better way to phrase it would be to ask which persons I know like this, to which I could give a pretty universal response: children. You wouldn't expect a child to understand an adult joke.

1) During slavery, guns were essential in keeping Black people under the thumb. So for at least 1/2 of US history, guns were an essential fabric of society for that reason.

In much the same way you could argue US gun culture comes from being 'at the frontier' - well - slavery was another big artifact of history.

When the slaves were freed they were a huge portion of the population, and there was every reason to believe there would be retribution and revolts.

Since then, there has been ongoing efforts to suppress that community, which rationally might engender violence.

In pop culture, African Americans have been portrayed as violent, which can make people afraid, and since the 1980s there's been a huge uptick in violence within that community, which also makes people afraid (though the violence is mostly intraracial not interacial).

2) "This is “end of history” bullshit. You need guns because having to kill people is a central part of the human experience. "

Your arguments here are very poor.

First, the Army 'has guns' as a legitimate form of managed violence. Keeping the Army in check is a central part of managing the powers in a liberal democracy. If the Army gets out of hand, it's going to be very bad.

'Look what the Taliban' did is a horrendous argument, because the Taliban are totalitarian murderous overlords who murder for their own ideology and not the wellbeing of their fellow countrymen.

You're basically arguing that 'Guns Work Because Look How Well The Nazis Murdered Jews!'

That's an argument against the population having guns, because it seems to me the American Right Wing Taliban are the group the most likely to use guns and for all the wrong reasons.

"All of that stuff could happen in America too."

Yes, but it's unlikely to happen because the 'government goes bad'. It's going to happen because a demagogue like Donald Trump will rile up the gun-wading population to commit violence on the basis of a pack of lies. It won't start like that, it may just be a protest, but if starts to get out of hand, some blood is spilled and then each side uses that as justification for increasing the threshold.

The last 6 months have revealed that Trump pressured the military hard for the 82cnd Airborne to be used against BLM protesters and the Pentagon refused. Thankfully, that's the Army standing up against authoritarian leaders.

I don't think there has been in all of American history an example of where American citizens took up arms against the government in situation wherein they had some kind of moral legitimacy.

Liberal Democracy stay intact with education, transparency, oversight, a free and rational press, legitimate institutions, independent judiciary. If it delves into individual militias fighting against government units 'it's all over'. Americans can then expect the quality of life of rural Pakistan.

While there is some argument for 'Guns v. Tyranny' I can't see how it works out in practicality. One idea might be to require the government a Congressional vote to send any troops anywhere, for any reason, to further restrict US forces from being deployed in the homeland etc..
