When I was younger, I did that a lot. And being around people who are more experienced is a great place to be in general, as it helps to learn!

I learned over time a lot about structural incentives and the environmental and emotional reasons why people do things (including myself), and it’s helped me at least in figuring out how to make the right thing happen more often, instead of causing more friction by pointing out that clearly the right thing is not happening instead. And how to avoid places where their values and mine don’t align, and so I’d just end up constantly trying to swim against the current.

Not sure if it helps - it took time to learn (and prioritize) the mentoring and guiding skills and how to avoid the folks and situations who are real problems.

Yes. It is a matter of philosophical idea that humans are wired to learn. It is not about the achievements from the past, it is about progression on how we learn day by day.

The term "bug" is kind of overloaded at this point. It would be more useful to talk about different classes of software defects:

- Incomplete/ambiguous specification

- Unhandled IO errors

- Unbounded buffers/memory, unhandled OOM errors

- Defects introduced by state mutation

- Defects introduced by concurrency

- Lack of idempotence

- Lack of back-pressure

- Non-determinism

- API changes

- Low performance

Only some of these can "not be written", and only a few can "not be written" in actual code.

Most have to be solved at another layer (the implementation language/tools, the network, the database, the system architecture at large, design documents or team organisation).

>I find the attitude of ignoring "petty crime" very worrying

Ironically I think petty crimes are much more impactful personally than say political corruption/bribery.

If you find out that your politicians received bribe/corrupt personally you don't feel it immediately. It's not like your tax amount suddenly increasing to cater the corruption.

Petty crimes on the other hand are much more direct in impact. Personal property/Money loss, that feeling of "why me", terror, etc.
> I find the attitude of ignoring "petty crime" very worrying. I think the cost of it is underestimated. If we can use technology to catch the bad guys let's try it.

For the sake of argument, we’ve caught the bad guy. What should we do now? I think this is a seriously hard to answer question, and we haven’t really got a coherent answer.

This assumes that we actually get the right person as well, and facial recognition is honestly really bad about getting people caught in the dragnet. If we have an attitude where “computer says no” means you’re now subjected to criminal penalties, that’s a nasty world.

I can list the reasons.

1. Oil companies support carbon taxes because they know they are politically dead in the water.

2. Yellow vest movement shows that if you punish the vast population for problems elite created, you will get mass protests.

3. The tax will be miss priced because it will be set by policy. Likely won't be high enough to stop global warming.

While a carbon ration doesn't have these problems since we know what the carbon budget is. Once it's spent it's spent and provides the right incentive. Instead of punishing regular people with a tax, it rewards people who use less carbon by giving them an asset. Since the vast majority of people use very little carbon if you divide up the the carbon budget evenly, you suddenly have a method to lower inequality and provide the right incentives for industry to move to a zero carbon world because when the rations are expired, they won't be able to have a business.

Carbon taxes simply have too many flaws and bad incentives and don't address the underlying problem, that we have a limited resource (carbon budget).
Right. It is also false to say there are no useful numbers in this space. For example: Dunbar’s number is 150.

But it is misleading to expect an employee to maintain relationships with 150 people—they also have a family and friends.

My guess is that "opacity" is referring to implementations, while "complexity" is referring to the effects. "Totally clear and simple technologies" is referring to just the implementation.

Hi ya'll, I have a question.

My wife and I can't wrap our brains around the fact that payment info was leaked alongside source code.

Any theories how this happened?

Former pentester btw. I saw a lot of interesting things during my time, but I can't recall seeing a payment database next to a source code repo.

Did their s3 bucket get popped or something?

Even if their github enterprise got popped, that doesn't explain that streamer payouts down to the dollar were leaked. "Oh yeah, I commit all my stripe data into github. It's for compliance /s"

I haven't seen those kind of labels on library books in a really long time!

But yes, each book has a "barcode" that uniquely identifies it. The thing is, these large library systems have dozens of physical buildings all over the city (a paradox? The larger the city, the more likely it is that everyone can walk to the library) and a specific copy of the book lives in a specific library building.

If you decide that one specific copy is the "reference" copy, then nobody can check it out from their local library branch while people that live everywhere else in the city can check it out from their local library branch! So you are going to need to make the "reference" copy a dynamic thing, which is a lot of effort to solve a problem that in real life is really minor.

Big city libraries (at least in North America - I know Toronto is the same) are amazing, because libraries get better with scale. And perhaps because of their nature, they seem to attract the kind of people that are really good at managing them. I doubt you can find a big city library where the residents think it is a cesspool of corruption. They've got the resources and management to just buy extra copies of books - it's not worth doing anything else.

I don't mind the interoperability. Take email for example. Even if you avoid Gmail/Google, so many people do, so Googs eventually gets your email anyway. So we chat, even if you don't use FB, if someone you chat with does, they still get that conversation. So the interoperability provides a buffer or insulator between you and the company you are wanting to avoid.

While the article is rather low quality in and of itself, it still manages to point out:

> Before claiming that the simulation above is reliable, I must expose a few things you’ll need to pay attention to when using a Monte Carlo Simulation to make forecasts:

> (A) The quality of the inputs upon which your simulations depend.

> (B) The consistency and predictability of your team.

> (C) The need to re-forecast.

> (D) The size of your work packages.

Among those, I am not exactly sure what the author is referring to with (C). However, problems arise most often when none of A, B, and D is controlled by the person being asked to estimate.

Now, if you can control A, B, and D, YOU DO NOT NEED TO RUN MONTE CARLO. You'll be able to split the work and guess within 10 - 20% just by using rules of thumb.

If you cannot control A, B, and D, running Monte Carlo will not help you.

I say this as a person who's been doing Monte Carlo since the late 80s.

I understand that distinction. Russell came up with a mathematically rigorous theory for the foundations of mathematics and happened to use a very simple type system to accomplish it. He wasn't the first to formally make use of types, though he may have been the first to use that term. He also seriously pushed forward our techniques of mathematical rigor, so in some sense he "invented" many, many, many things.

To be clear, I think Russell was an amazing mathematician and inventor. I also think that the history of types is way more rich and interesting than just saying that he invented the idea. To not mention at least Frege is to miss a lot.
Filibuster: Part 2, Technique: Service-Level Fault Injection Testing
I think its the nature of the thing. Some fields are easy to 'big picture' - like physics (apart from quantum-level?) or biology. If they relate to everyday experience then that is surely easier.

Chemistry often deals with the everyday, of course - drugs, paint,fuels, cooking even. However it can also deal with very obscure reactions where the details are entirely technical.

For example, there are whole papers dedicated to "this is the detailed series of steps we found to make this obscure chemical (X) that is difficult to make". That could be summarised as just "we made X!" - not super interesting, by itself...

In order to be verified on Twitter and YouTube, you need to present government ID. I wasn't talking about FaceBook in that reference. FaceBook's algorithm likely verifies people over time based on requiring their actual (government record) name versus the content in their posts, possibly combined with facial recognition from posted photos and family associations.

I always chose to never use my real name on any social media accounts, if it was required I'd probably elect to not sign up, but their EULAs frequently are revised to serve whatever purpose they want because there is no meaningful regulation in place to limit their data mining practices on pretty much anyone because others post info about you in some way over time, even if you don't have an account.

If you don't care about a key existing, then this works.

I use that a lot for data parsing. Passing the exception is not very clean IMHO. I stick to d[key] nomenclature when I need assurance that all the keys are present in the dictionary, and .get(key,None) when I don't.

Aftee a decade as a professional developer, the key practice I've found that makes all the difference is this: make it very difficult for someone using my code to use it wrong. Because no matter how well I write my code, I'm just one developer in a much larger system.

An example: imagine I have an API that takes in a users tax id. In the US, let's presume that's an SSN. In Canada, a SIN. In Brazil, a CPF/CNPJ, and so on.

One option is to give a free form field that let's you say country id and tax ID. Simple, works for all countries, extensible later, no problem. Except that okay, in Brazil we also need a tax address. Fine, add an address field as well. But now when a user is using this API to submit Canadian tax numbers, there's a field for tax address. What's that? Do I need it? I guess I'll give the users home address? And a developer trying to submit Brazilian tax IDs sees that the address field is optional, so I guess I don't need that. ("Why didn't they read the docs that said it wasn't in this case?" Because no one does!).

I've made it possible to use this API incorrectly. I did it to save myself effort and blamed the other developer for using it wrong.

On the other hand, if my API had a different input type for each country's tax ID, with required fields saying they are, it becomes impossible to use it wrong. You can't have a bug, a mistake, because the type enforces correct usage. Go even further and have the constructor for the input type for that county explicitly require the fields it must have, and now you're really making it hard to do it wrong.

Types are powerful tools to prevent bugs. A bug caught sooner is less expensive to fix, and how much sooner can you get than "the moment you wrote it"?

> Zero cost refers to the cost when no exception is thrown, not the overhead of exceptions

There are recent benchmarks where .NET "zero cost when an try-catch block is present and exception not thrown" turned out to be significantly slower then the alternative without such a block.

It turns out that the try-catch block is a barrier across which some optimisations and re-organisations (e.g. method inlining) cannot happen, and that the compiler & JIT normally do a lot of these. So it might be "zero cost" but it might also prevent wins.

The book "How to Measure Anything" by Douglas W. Hubbard has a chapter on using Monte Carlo simulations to do project planning and gather estimates. It's successfully been used for project planning large complex projects like building nuclear power plants, or projects that NASA or the Navy or similar have done.

The approach is slightly different then the article above describes. Instead it has each engineer go through calibration exercises until they can fairly accurately produce 5th and 95th confidence interval estimates. Then each engineer provides 5th and 95th confidence interval estimates for each item that needs to be worked on. Those confidence intervals are kept separate. You can then run a Monte Carlo simulation where each piece of work is weighted randomly assigned to each engineer that provided estimates for that particular item, and randomly picks a number based off their provided confidence interval estimate on how long it ends up taking them to complete the item for this particular simulation.

I was on a small team that used the above technique. We were in a large company trying to launch a new product, and given manufacturing lead time, and seasonality of the market demand, it was very important that we could provide a good estimate to the business when we could have the software portion of the MVP completed. The business provided us with what they thought the MVP features were, we further added in engineering tasks that weren't business facing, but needed to be completed. We confidence interval estimated those, and then also confidence interval estimated our personal vacation days, sick days, as well as a bucket of "unidentified work". The 80th percentile Monte Carlo simulation put us out a little more then a year. Our actual delivery was off by only a week from the Monte Carlo tp80; I don't remember in which direction, but it wasn't consequential to the business.

Another anecdote: whenever I go off coffee I just feel a bit more dumb, and I don't like losing an easy mechanism to quickly boost my energy levels.

The first few weeks without caffeine are rough, then I just turn into a more boring version of myself: I go to bed early, have consistent energy levels throughout the day, and I'm a little less intelligent.

I don't really want my energy levels smoothed out throughout the day: getting out of the gate quickly in the morning and getting ahead of my goals for the day is far more important to me, and having a few hours each day where I'm really "on" is better than my brain being a little sluggish forever.

I don't personally have issues sleeping through the night though. (But with caffeine I do shift my sleep a bit later).

Cutting caffeine does seem to be a reasonable place to start for people who are having sleep issues, or anxiety, but for me I've decided the pros vastly outweigh the cons.
Thanks, that was an interesting read. I disagree on the details (e.g.: Jobs rejected the idea of an app store, it was forced on him by circumstances and even the iPhone was something that other directors on Apple fought hard to convince him).
