I'd say ironic, more than hilarious.

The libertarian approach absolutely does lead to progressivism because people, broadly defined, want progressivism. You have to take a narrow subset of society for the libertarian approach to be genuinely popular, or you have to abandon the pretense that you're optimizing for the good of all people. Don't take my word for it, listen to one of the most successful libertarians in recent history:

https://www.cato-unbound.org/2009/04/13/peter-thiel/educatio...

> The 1920s were the last decade in American history during which one could be genuinely optimistic about politics. Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women — two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians — have rendered the notion of “capitalist democracy” into an oxymoron. [...]

> The critical question then becomes one of means, of how to escape not via politics but beyond it. Because there are no truly free places left in our world, I suspect that the mode for escape must involve some sort of new and hitherto untried process that leads us to some undiscovered country[...]

Thiel goes on to detail how his only hope of accomplishing libertarian ideals is by escaping to either cyberspace, outer space, or the sea, leaving behind all those people who if asked by libertarian means would reject his ideals. (And he's gone on to invest in companies like SpaceX that are working on bringing this plan to fruition.)

The whole reason you get articles like this is because libertarianism can't survive on the merits, and so (apart from Thiel's approach of escape) they have to argue that people aren't playing by the rules, that somehow universities do not have the liberty to rescind invitations or that if they do it's because they're bad people. But they are playing by the rules and they're exercising their liberties.
Chickens sure use their wings for short bursts of speed and even to jump over obstacles or onto trees etc. Scare a hen sufficiently and it will fly a few feet away. Like littlte caricature dragons though they're too plump and their wings too small to really fly. They kind of fly-run instead.

I view political articles on Wikimedia's Wikipedia similar to how i view media sources such as Radio Free Asia. There is really nothing democratic or open about the political content you will find there. There are even seemingly obsessive accounts with thousands of edits a day that may just be government or think-tank managed accounts, reinforcing content favorable to US foreign policy goals. I see Wikipedia as kind of a good jump off point to see what the US State Dept and CIA position is on some issue, and then continue my investigation from there.

If everyone googled about what is going on some part of the world, almost all would read the Wikipedia article. If the Wikipedia article differed in any major way from what the Pentagon's goals were, well... you can see how that would be a problem for the Pentagon. If you allow yourself to believe that the goals and movements of the Pentagon are not always grand, you can see how the political content there can more or less act as a weapon of war. Not really an exaggeration to say that, i really don't think...

I feel like a lot of people just aren't catching on to how tightly managed US media is when it comes to "hostile" or "aggressive" actions of others, "democracy", "brutal dictators", etc. in other parts of the world. People are really still ingesting these corporate news sources with anything other than the utmost suspicion.
This is so incredible! Not sure if real or not but it seems plausible as to how movements are created. Very illuminating if true. Hope to apply it in future ventures.
I 95% agree with you. But I think it's just slightly more nuanced. If you tell FooLibrary to open a FooFile, then throwing FileNotFoundException is acceptable to signal that that file is not found. In a sense it's just passing along an exception that was meant for you.

On the other hand, if FooLibrary tries to read some config file or fetch metadata over the internet, then that's a sort of detail that it shouldn't bother the caller with. It should either handle the exception or translate it to a FooException.
Approximately when it became clear the measures to contain it weren’t actually working and weren’t going to work. It’s possible to disagree there but I don’t think it’s reasonable for the timeline to be infinite which is the new claim, with infinite booster shots being required. Anyone should be able to see that that just isn’t sustainable. It’s just a backwards race to see how long it can be dragged out until there’s no choice but to let go anyway.

Like Australia and their zero covid policy. In my opinion clearly untenable, in other peoples opinion a great attempt. Whatever we all think it clearly failed and now they have to give up anyway, and whatever gains people think it resulted in it did cost a large population their freedom for an very long, in my opinion unreasonable, amount of time.
I hope you move to spring voot first vefore upgrading to JDK11, or vice versa.

I'm in the middle of a migration to 11 and my general approach has been to get it compiling on 11 while targeting 8 with (--release 8). That seems to catch a great many things that would otherwise fail. The hardest part thus far was figuring out the appropriate libs to replace Java 8 ee stuff, mostly wrt soap and xml. I'm hoping moving to 11 goes smoothly but we'll see. I'm hoping to have the artifacts to a point where they can run on either 8 or 11 without issues.
People can get doxxed and ruined in real life. News spreads quickly. If you try to deceive a whole community of intelligent humans you'll get found out sooner rather than later, and unlike the slap-on-the-wrist lawsuit that at best companies get from trying the same, it is much worse for an individual. But of course, that doesn't fit the narrative...
'Mono culture' is what happens when people from a variety of groups do live together.

They adopt 'basic civic values' - and all cultural artifacts are thrown out the door, because they can't continue to exist.

Those people go to Starbucks.

When people have actual distinctions from one another - this is where actual 'diversity' exists. People have attitudes, opinions, and especially practices that are stronger and more resilient.

This is why Starbucks can't make headway in Italy -> their local dynamics around coffee are stronger than the power of the Starbucks marketing team.

Though McDonald's does exist there, it's in a totally different capacity.

(FYI Nothing wrong with either of those companies, I'm alluding to the notion of those things being more universal and a more fundamental part of culture, which 'fast food' is in the US, and not Italy).

I really do believe we can live together, and that we mostly do - just fine.

There's some work to do with equal access and opportunity - but by and large most of the advanced world is fair to most people.

Good points though.

It sounds like something Microsoft would come up with. Well, it's missing a "NT Azure Client Access License".

It sounds like the problem is the scope creep. Do the JDK upgrade or the spring boot migration first. Yes it is tempting to do both at once but you are adding a lot of risk.
Alright, lets probe this absolutism then.

Is there a privacy difference between telling your oldest, closest friend a secret and telling the office gossip?

Is there a difference between writing a secret in your encrypted electronic journal and posting it to facebook?

The issue with privacy absolutism is that it's essentially impossible to do it perfectly, so any tiny theoretical breech means you should pretty much just give up and tell the world, right? Or maybe there's more shades of gray than that and we can go ahead and evaluate the privacy implications of different activities with some more nuance.

> America is generally pretty allergic to socialist ideas.

I think yes, we often feel allergic to government ownership of things (at least that's how I see socialism, which may not be how others see it), yet I don't think that's why many of us don't like coops, as publicly traded companies are owned by many people through the stock markets.

I think what may hinder the rise of coops in the US is ironically our allergy to democracy in business. We seem to love democracy in governance yet prefer top-down authoritarianism in business (and mostly in the military, minus the civilian leaders). Most coops I know strongly emphasize democratic governance, where all shareholders are equal in voting power, and most businesses I know are very far from that.

I think the desire for and familiarity with top-down governance (which seems like authoritarianism to me) that we get in the business world is influencing many of our attitudes towards on democracy in governance, as top-down can be quicker, more adaptive, more efficient, etc

However, I wonder if the perception of being exploited by some of these large companies, especially in the consumer tech sector, will lead to a demand for more democratic/representative governance, as we see with some DAOs and more.

I personally would love to see more coop Clubhouses, Facebook, TikToks, etc. Let the users 1) have more decision making power on the platform and 2) receive more profits from the services.
It can provide fuel for said algorithm.
Yup! And I attribute that in large part to more wealth distributed more widely, which allows more people to have the time and ability to do something to protect their rights. It takes education, time, courage, and treasure to fight these kinds of things.

The more people stand up and say ‘No’ - and show it matters - the better for everyone.

It is also a constant ongoing fight that is never truly won.

Right now Mars is a pristine snapshot of processes I think we'd like to learn more about. We should propose Terraforming only after we think we've learned pretty much everything we care about.

I'm not against terraforming eventually, but I think we need to give exploration a bit of time before considering which early 21st century tech would work best.

When writing a programming langauge, your users are programmers.

You can wish they had different behavior than they have, but wishing wont' make them do it. At the present point in history, the interviewees say, there is lots of evidence of what programmers actually do with checked exceptions, and that's what they are speaking to, very explicitly. What they actually do are things "That just completely defeats the feature, and you just made the programmer write more gobbledy gunk. That doesn't help anybody."

Or as Hejlsberg also says: "You see programmers picking up new APIs that have all these throws clauses, and then you see how convoluted their code gets, and you realize the checked exceptions aren't helping them any."

So, what you maybe need is a different design which the developer-users of the language will actually use in a way that adds value. It's unclear what this different design is, it hasn't been done yet, they say.

Heljsberg again: "Once a better solution is known—and trust me we continue to think about it—we can go back and actually put something in place. I'm a strong believer that if you don't have anything right to say, or anything that moves the art forward, then you'd better just be completely silent and neutral, as opposed to trying to lay out a framework."

The current practice of checked exceptions, as evidenced by what programmers actually do with them, is not helpful. They lay out a case for this. It could be a "sign of immaturity of the software industry" that a helpful design hasn't been found, I dunno, but that doesn't make it any more helpful to do the thing that hasn't been working.

This is a very reasonable argument.

The way to argue against it would be, I guess, to say that they are wrong, many developers DO use checked exceptions in a way that adds value, and provide evidence for this. Or, perhaps, to say that they are right that MOST don't, they may even be right that for MOST actually existing code checked exceptions degrade the quality of code (that is their argument), but that there are a minority of developers who use checked exceptions right (and provide examples of this), and say that justifies putting them in a language. You could argue that, but you'd have to argue it.

The eye grows automatically in response to what is in focus. If too much is constantly in focus the eye grows longer to blur it. This is especially important in peripheral vision which is why lenses are finally coming out with blurred edges to slow myopia progression. Ophthalmologists who don’t know this and don’t tell people to use lenses as little as possible and dont think screens cause myopia are negligent (and hopefully will start getting sued until they learn) especially when prescribing lenses to children when this matters most. The eye generally stops being able to respond to the over focus stimulations in adulthood. And children with unnecessarily worsened myopia from negligent doctors are at higher risk for permanent blinding illnesses earlier in life and more frequently. If your eye doctor doesn’t know about low dose Atropine for children, then leave them (or explore legal options if your child’s myopia has gotten significantly worse). There is no known way to reverse the elongation of the eye and therefore reverse myopia, for now it’s permanent. Any claims to reverse myopia without surgery are pure quackery, like the Bates method.
Anything remotely interesting like that is dumped in itertools.

Python's creator, Guido van Rossum, doesn't like functional/functional-ish programming a lot. That's well-known.

Guido: "I value readability and usefulness for real code. There are some places where map() and filter() make sense, and for other places Python has list comprehensions. I ended up hating reduce() because it was almost exclusively used (a) to implement sum(), or (b) to write unreadable code. So we added built-in sum() at the same time we demoted reduce() from a built-in to something in functools (which is a dumping ground for stuff I don't really care about :-)."
This article shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the functionality of "App Tracking Transparency", and I will admit the text "ask app not to track" is confusing.

ATT, when a user selects "no", blocks the app from accessing your device ID. This makes it so that even though the app can still track what you do in their app, they can't connect that to the data collected from other apps through your device ID, and therefore build a profile of you as a person.

>Jews have a tradition of Shiva (7 days where the bereaved stays home, and people visit them). The advice given in Shiva is don't talk, just listen.

This.

When one is grieving, let them set the agenda. Don't push them to do anything. Everyone processes grief differently, and we all need to come to the reality of our loss in our own way and our own time.

If you start making "suggestions" or trying to "help" someone process their grief without being invited to do so, all you're doing is adding to the stress of the situation, not alleviating it.

And this doesn't just apply to the grief of loss either. Sometimes (often), in times of stress, folks want/need to express themselves and often ask questions and express doubts.

That doesn't mean they actually want answers. Rather, they're expressing their thoughts and feelings and just need to do so without comment, judgement or suggestions as to how to "fix" the problem.

So just listen and give the grieving person what the specifically ask for. The most important thing is to actually be there.

That's a lesson that took me a long time to learn. I'm someone who tries to be empathetic and wants to "help" by creating a solution. But often it's not a solution that's needed or wanted, just an ear, a shoulder and no judgement.

We had that about a year ago in our product as well, though from Java 7 to Java 11. That JDK 9+ hump was definitely bad, but since then each incremental JDK has been smooth. The idea of using "the latest JDK" is fairly modern in the Java world, so people are still getting used to it. I'd say it's good now though, with perhaps 16 -> 17 being a minor hump since things that were deprecated but allowed in 9+ are now removed.
