I haven't seen a "wide range of economists" on TV! Or testifying before Congress! Or arranging coups in Chile!

At university, I met (and roomed with) lots of economists, all of whom were solidly in the neoliberal camp. As perceptive readers might have realized, since then I've read and listened to a broader range of economic expertise. My favorite now is Richard Wolff.

>Not exactly. Having integrity means being whole, united, and indivisible.

Not just any kind of whole. Somebody "whole, united, and indivisible" devoted to his own interests for example, doesn't have integrity (even if he's open about it and e.g. is equally and wholy bad to everybody).

Let's stick to the dictionary: "1. the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles."

The "whole, united, etc" thing is "integrity" in objects (e.g. as in "structural integrity". Not integrity as the moral quality in people.

>Consciously or unconsciously, he was trying to serve three masters: his current company, Yahoo!, and PG's company. That kind of conflict of interest is inconsistent with integrity.

It's the opposite. That kind of conflict of interest is what you want to test someone's integrity.

Someone more strategic or someone which places tactic over integrity would have stayed silent (and neither lose nor verify their integrity). Someone without integrity would have lied against PG's company to promote their own.
But it's notable that the formation of iron-rich ore was a biological process that happened a long time ago. Also, the iron would have originally been leached via saltwater from iron exposed to the sea, which given iron is 5.6% of the crust, is a lot vs (way) less than 0.1% for lithium.
Per-object costs can be tricky with S3 -- it's easy to mentally round costs less than 1/10th of a penny to zero, and then look up a few years later and realize you have hundreds of millions of things and can't afford to do anything with them.

When this bit us on a project I made a tool to solve our particular problem, which tars files, writes csv indexes, and can fetch individual files from the tars if need be.[1] Running on millions of files was janky enough that I also ended up scripting an orchestrator to repeatedly attempt each step of the pipeline.[2] Not tested on data other than ours but could be a useful starting point.

It's not necessarily the best choice for everything for any given team, but in the same way you'll see e.g. shops that have bought in heavily to using go by default using go for writing scripty tools as well as their main applications, using nim as 'the default language unless there's a use case specific reason to use something else' is surprisingly doable.
Basically anything that has you in your own bed at night and not breaking your back is going to be low pay or require a lot of experience. If you have a driver on staff the incentive is to use them for every hour you legally can because your business insurance costs reflect the number of drivers more than the hours your fleet spends on the road.

This cognitive warfare does not appear to distinguish between military and civilian targets, or it targets civilian targets exclusively.

Already, social media is a proverbial war of all against all, and tends to make any public career nasty, unctuous, and short. It seems like the military wants to expand it to where mere non-participation is not sufficient to be free of it. Programs like this shift the role of the military from defending a perimiter of civilization to managing it. They are finding ways to turn aggression inward on the population. It uses the same destructive tactics they defended against during the cold war and turns them to the domestic front.

Having read more than a few books and other sources on the tactics and strategies of totalitarianism, any military that is not actively defending its nation from this constant, post-20th century global threat should be treated as compromised by one of the movements this force co-opts to its ends. The goal is to unmoor people from all truth so we can be pacified and managed in a liquid way. The objective is just as through a mix of constant minor punishment and increasing dependency, a zoo animal loses its skill to hunt and feed itself, so via similar systems of dependency people lose the ability to think for themselves and can eventually be trusted to reject any and all truth that could connect them into an identity or a potential resistance, because we know what happens to people found in posession of it.

I'm glad the military is tipping their hand on this, as people need to understand that the pervasive forever war modern states are fighting is against truth itself, and you can see it in every action, because once you take that from people, dominion is complete.
You have a good point overall. However, can you truly reduce the definition of reliable code to something that simple? I think there are a lot more factors that determine if code is reliable or not.

Which, sorry but, makes it a very dubious expression because it seems to be definitory of a narrow set opposed to a wealth of difference. Suppose you were Italian (a "Macedonia" of mixed blood since the ancient times, where the heterogeneity in physical traits is pretty high, but without a sense of "tribal" difference within that broad set): it would appear to make more sense to use the term "white" for the most eburneous sun-threatened Irish, than to say "white versus coloured" for people that already show very varied in their looks - in their """shades""", if you wish.

Great story (& from the same guy with the Steve Jobs story ~last week).

Immediately calls to mind two phrases of advice I've found very useful over the years related to sales and deal making.

"Quit drilling - you struck oil", as in don't try to keep selling once your counterparty agrees - you can only cause harm at that point (and even if there are more great things to discover, no harm if they get happier after the deal closes.)

And, one of the the most frequently applicable ones in life (& once seen l, it's amazing to see how much unhappiness comes from not heeding it):

"The deal's not done until the check clears."

Christian bible app was also virtually removed, as outlined in the article:

"Another popular religious app, Olive Tree's Bible app, was also taken down this week in China. The company told the BBC they had removed the app themselves.

"Olive Tree Bible Software was informed during the App Store review process that we are required to provide a permit demonstrating our authorization to distribute an app with book or magazine content in mainland China," said a spokesperson.

"Since we did not have the permit and needed to get our app update approved and out to customers, we removed our Bible app from China's App Store."

I think Chevy here is a bit disingenuous because there's been a trend by GM and Ford to stop making small/cheap cars and focus on trucks and SUVs. So it makes sense that over time the average will go up for these brands. The reasoning is that American small cars like the Focus are just not as popular as their extremely affordable and reliable competitors from Japan like the Corolla, Camry, Civic, etc.

I agree with the sentiment of this article, building things for yourself first, means that you have the foundation for creating value: 1. a certain kind of problem to solve. 2. an idea how to solve it in a way that you find satisfying.

I actually think that this is good definition of reliable code -- product of an individual developer's process.

It does not say whether it was specified well, but I think an application can reliably execute wrong process. There is no contradiction.

I don't want to say that making sure that your code does exactly what you intend it to do is at all simple.

As your application grows, as you start incorporating dependencies, external systems, code that came from others, things that you do not know very well -- writing code that does exactly what you intend it to becomes very difficult or even impossible.

But on the lowest level, when we are talking couple of variables, conditionals, loops, maybe small data structure -- I would expect a developer to be able to write it to do what is exactly intended.

Because if you have that ability and use it for every piece of code that you write, the overall result (even if it does not guarantee reliability) will be better than a person that cannot do it.

In my experience (and it depends a lot on our HR and candidates that are being sent my way) only one in about 10 candidates (for senior Java dev position) can do that.
Don't forget though, that American roads are very different to British roads - and presumably, much easier to drive a truck on.
Thanks for correcting me. I'll have a look at the paper. I'm no brewer so my knowledge of brewing yeasts is non-exsistent. Although I had some problems with my early attempts at cheesemaking that developped unpleasant chemical smells (plasticine, acetone, hand cream etc) and I've always thought (but couldn't really confirm) those were caused by either Acetobacteria or by alcohol-producing yeasts, because those chemical smells are, apparently, the hallmark of alcoholic fermentation (gone wrong, I guess).
Not OP, but "parse, don't validate"[0] says that data (including config, etc.) should go through a "parsing step" (no "shotgun parsing"[1]) which outputs specific data-types for the main processing code to deal with ("invalid states should be unrepresentable"[2]).

For example, we might have a "parsing step" which takes in Bytes (e.g. '[{"email": "chriswarbo@example.com"}]') and outputs a 'NonEmptyList[ContactDetails]' (e.g. 'NonEmptyList(Email(NonEmptyString('c', "hris"), NonEmptyString('e', "xample.com")), Nil)').

Compare this to a "validate" approach, e.g. parsing the bytes to a 'JsonArray', and using a boolean function to check whether it's empty, and whether its entries match the 'contact details' schema. That's problematic, since (a) it leads to "boolean blindness"[3] (the function tells us 'attempting to get those fields should work', whereas the parsing approach actually gives us those fields) and (b) such a boolean function is actually redundant, since deleting all of its call sites (or forgetting to write them to begin with) would give us a program that still compiles and runs (whereas the parsing approach would give a type error: 'Given JsonArray, expected NonEmptyList[ContactDetails]').

CUE's approach seems to be similar to passing JSON values around, and occasionally performing validation checks (if we remeber to); i.e. validating, not parsing.

This is done in France when it catches you driving too fast. "ABC 123" you're going too fast! It's a bit jarring your plate up on a screen so it works kind of well against speeding. They don't need to store your plate to use this feature.

Of course plates are being scanned (and probably stored) all over the place now (toll booths, big roads in & out of the cities), not denying that.

Er, when's the last time the Sherman Antitrust Act got enforced? Given that last time, are there any modern corporations that would seem to deserve the antitrust treatment, but aren't getting it for some reason? How much are those corporations donating to Congress? Enforcement just doesn't happen because then the money train would stop.

people in present-day New York right now, physically and fifty years ago

S3 inventory would cost $0.0025 per million objects listed [1], while LIST requests are $0.005 per thousand requests and each LIST request can return up to 1000 objects, making them $0.005 per million objects listed. For the "Infrequent Access" storage tier, LISTs cost double that.

So S3 inventory would be half price compared to LIST (or quarter price in IA storage class), but that's still small comfort if you're staring down the barrel of a bucket containing a large number of objects.

It's also not a really bad profit margin. $54M in revenue, $6M in net losses. It's not hard to see how they can right the ship -- perhaps they have scaled up enough to stop needing to spend so much, or they'll just continue to gain economies of scale.
Here's the problem with driving on the weekends. Unless you get hooked up with a company and they're ok with paying your insurance the answer is no. The TLDR here is that if you're and employee or contractor for a trucking company, you'll be paying insurance rates based on driving the legal DOT(in the states) limit.

If you want to see what this looks like, google around for "hot shot trucking". It doesn't require a CDL under, I believe, 24k lbs. BUT it does require a special insurance since you're no longer a person, but a company.

I learned Nim last year by rewriting some of the core Arduino functionality in C, and then wrapping them in Nim. (I also wanted to better learn C and better understand how Arduino's internals work, thus the convoluted approach)

A few observations:

* The community was very helpful and responsive. I identified a bug in compiling Nim to bare metal C, and it was fixed in 24 hours.

* The C/Nim bindings were a breeze to use, even for a relatively novice C programmer like myself.

* The language is fairly sparse, in a good way. It feels a bit like Go in that regard, but with better metaprogramming support.

* I personally like meaningful, Python-style whitespace, but I could see how that could be a turnoff. But I'd hope people can look beyond that and give the language a try.

* I could _actually_ use Nim to write code for an Arduino Uno, so the project was a success. The firmware sizes weren't that bad, either, which was my biggest concern. Nim's memory management is very flexible, and the ARC system seemed to work great without the need for GC. [1]
