So… what’s your point then?

We agree that humans were not able to hoard (ever, despite changing definitions) at the level we actually currently do. But, obviously, we don’t hoard enough to meet incredibly rare supply chain shortages like these.

It seems to me like we are at a well optimized level; do you feel otherwise, and if so, how do you plan to solve it without resource wastage and price increases?

I feel like this piece begins with a similar thesis to the Cal Newport book So Good They Can't Ignore You - namely that the ideals and goals around finding your "passion" or "doing what you love" are either setting you up for dissatisfaction ("I don't love what I do, therefore I am a failure") or disappointment ("my passion is writing but I became a software engineer instead of a novelist and now I am unfulfilled").

His solution to this was to pick any trade or skill and to explore it via mastery. Deliberate practice and, as with this piece, curiosity to "find" the bits of it that you are good at and enjoy, then focus on those aspects to get enough skill that people will pay you money for that skill. That isn't "passion" in the sense that most will think of when "following your dream" but you end up with a core trade and skillset that you are good at, you enjoy and differentiates you from everyone else in the market (or puts you in a small enough resource pool that you're always in demand).

I feel like this article touches on that to some extent, but opens up similar blind spots to a "passion" oriented mindset. Instead of "what if I'm not passionate about anything?" you have "what if I'm not curious about anything?". Both require an unwritten first step of discovering your passion or curiosity. Both don't have a coherent roadmap or end goals, so while one person may find following curiosity to be a better path (as they're able to untangle a thread or find a new one when a line of curiosity has been satisfied) another may find better success by using their "passion" as a guiding star.

Fun to think about anyway, but it's definitely true that both philosophies hide or downplay the amount of work required to turn your passion or your curiosity into a paying job.

Plus the process of corruption is slow and creeping. A generation doesn't know whats it like growing up a generation or two before, so the current state of affairs is taken for granted. At some point, the idea of a high-trust society where people don't need to lock their doors and children can just roam the neighbourhood freely becomes a faint memory and unreal utopia. Starting a family in their twenties, the prospect of home ownership, and being able to do so on a single income has already become unimaginable.
Pre-lockfiles I had multiple instances of a new version of a dependency being released that didn't follow semver correctly (it can be hard to identify what constitutes a breaking change at times).

Without a lockfile this was a pain to fix, now you can just not merge the upgrade until the problem is resolved (rather than every branch suddenly failing)

It’s like capitalism, without proper antitrust regulation, creates growth expectations such that even the most popular products will eventually plateau, but revenue growth is still expected, so how do you raise additional revenue? You sell access to your user base in the form of ads.

All you can do is start ignoring the product.

There's no evidence that anti-money laundering laws have reduced crime rates, just like how the war on drugs hasn't been effective at stopping drug abuse. There's plenty of evidence on the other hand that they make life harder for normal citizens; e.g. how hard it is for an American to open a bank account in Europe nowadays.

Rust is like the graphene of programming languages. So many articles of people doing something profound with it, it is supposedly better than all the rest in every way, but it still can't leave the "lab".

It is quite rare, but happens sometimes. You basically have to explicitly ask for a complex completion by writing a specification in a comment. Normally it tends to just complete a single statement or other syntax element at a time, which are usually easy to read and pretty close to correct.

They are already into ransomware anyway.

And maybe decriminalize human trafficking too?

Money laundering and tax evasion must obviously sometimes happen in gigantic financial hubs like London and New York. What the EU is upset about is their failure to supplant either of those hubs with Paris or Frankfurt.
> git uncommit to return to the state literally before git commit

This is ambiguous because there are many such states.

1. Clean working tree, before you began hacking on the code.

2. Modified working tree.

3.1. Modified working tree with staged changes.

3.2. Clean working tree with staged changes.

It's impossible to know which state you want to go back to without telling git. That's what hard, mixed and soft resets do: they bring you back to states 1, 2 and 3.2, respectively.

The default is a mixed reset. I suppose state 2 is what most people want when they try to undo a git commit. So it already does the right thing by default, no?

The only remaining problem is the git reset argument. An undo command will always reset to the previous commit, there should be no need for arguments. Stuff like HEAD^ or HEAD~1 is quite obscure to the uninitiated. We could certainly have a git undo command that runs git reset HEAD^ and allows hard and soft resets. Not sure why it doesn't already exist. Has anyone ever attempted to get that merged into mainline git?

How do you determine so confidently that American (and its derivative) culture has gotten significantly more sensitive, and the notions of abuse and trauma have grown to significantly dangerous levels? All the author did in this article was point out a few isolated incidents and then proceeded to generalize on it.

Maybe it just seems like it to us as a result of being overexposed to media (both social and mass), but perceptions drawn from media are very rarely (if ever) reflective of the actual reality. A few outlying observations do not automatically imply this entire generation is more (or less) sensitive than the generation before.
I don't think that study disproves my statement, the study didn't/couldn't see viral load or infectiousness.

I wonder how many more would've been sick without the vaccine. There were 469 cases, but how many showed up to those events?

Reading the study further, 4 vaxed people (and 1 unvaxed) were hospitalized and there were 0 deaths. I'd say a great result for the vaccine, but to be objective we'd have to see how it'd be different with the same set of people (same health status, etc) but without the vaccine.

I think/hope the goal isn't the eradication of the virus or its spread, but rather reducing the number of hospitalizations. The virus will probably stay with us, but if hospitals are no longer overwhelmed (since people aren't getting very sick and dying) then the governments will probably drop restrictions. Although mask mandates for some places like hospitals or old people's homes will probably remain for a long time...

> Google's data centers are primarily powered by green energy.

But not since they declared themselves carbon neutral (which they originally accomplished with certificates). Note the original claim was 'carbon neutral since 2008'. Google also uses a large amount of resources besides electrical energy, so claiming to be neutral is a scam unless they actually sequester co2 permanently.

> You can use the same argument to argue that EVs are a scam, because some electricity is generated by coal.

It's not the same argument. But I do argue that EVs are not carbon neutral.
This can be difficult to integrate into CI systems though. I don't recall ever seeing a way to allow interactive input during a CI pipeline to provide a 2FA token.

I'd argue that a completely automated release pipeline still trump's a manual/local process with 2fa (for reproducibility and transparency mainly).

Being able to have a hold step that also prompts for a token in order to publish in a CI system could be pretty neat though and best of both worlds
Curiosity without passion ("suffering") will just lead to very superficial knowledge.

Every worthwhile thing you do in life, while it may have initially started as curiosity, will reach a point where there will be some measure of suffering involved for you to progress.

Are you curious about math. At some point, you will have to grind through and work out math problems and proofs, and it won't always feel like fun.

Are you curious about programming. At some point, you will have to figure out how to debug hard programs, and deal with language quirks, or deal with hard to understand legacy code.

Do you want to fly an airplane? There will be FAA physicals and certification and hours and hours of flight time.

Do you want to be a doctor? There will be medical school and tests and cadavers and long hours of study and work.

Want to be a sports star? There will be hours at the gym, and hours watching game tape, and being careful what you eat.

It seems that nothing worthwhile in life comes without some "suffering".

That is where the passion comes in. You will have to want to do that thing enough that you are willing to do things you would rather not do or spend time you would rather be doing something else.

Ireland is used for tax _avoidance_. As problematic as that is, I don't believe we have a particular problem with money laundering or [illegal] tax evasion. On the other hand, English financial institutions (particularly in the City of London which has different legal jurisdiction from the rest of the UK) is well known to turn a blind eye to multiple billions of dirty money flowing through it.
> ...justice is now truly blind.

(I think you are misunderstanding this metaphor, as Justice being blind is actually supposed to be good: it means Justice makes decisions without bias or regard for who the parties are, only able to analyze the facts. A corrupt court that benefits some people over others based on connections or group affiliation would imply Justice not being blind.)

This distinction is what makes the Julian Assange case so interesting. For whatever reason, the press didn’t frame their stories in a protective way.
The only entities abusing me in Europe are my government - which steals from my profits every month - and criminals - who, in my personal experience, were always left unpunished by a useless police system which does nothing against scammers but persecute people smoking weed and a judicial system which is slow, expensive and mostly useless at regaining my stolen money, even when given plenty of proof and the location of the scammer (hell, they accomplished nothing even after they jailed and released the guy).

If you want justice in Europe you need to hire a thug.

How does SWI compare in this regard. For new work using Prolog is recommended to use this over SWI?
We could call them hubs for money laundering and tax evasion, or we could try to use more neutral terminology and simply refer to them as "privacy hubs" or something similar, no? Not that the UK would be a particularly great example of such with the introduction of the UWO.

It's hilarious how many people pretend to support a right to privacy until it's about other people's money. Always gotta drag down instead of rise above.
I think at this point we can safely state this is definitely not what happened in Wuhan. Being transparent that is.
I have only briefly dabbled in Rust so I might be mistaken here - it seems hard to replace the major languages when there is so much tooling (ides, profiling tools) and such a developed ecosystem with the incumbent languages. C#, Java and Node are also a lot easier to write than Rust in my opinion. C++ is what it should replace, except it’s not clear that Rust is as fast for performance-oriented applications, and if that’s what you care about and c++ has a greater ecosystem… maybe it’s a hard sell.

Though I would say it’s easier that C++ to deal with and would expect this would help it win a larger share in systems programming. Eventually

FTC: How Much of a Snoop Your ISP or Wireless Carrier Can Be
Declining testosterone among men is simply because men (and women, for that matter) are doing less exercise period. Physical exertion causes the body to release more testosterone to help muscle fibers recover. Many physical jobs today are done by machines or robots than ever.

Even then, it’s not clear that testosterone levels are correlated with any specific behaviors or that the correlation goes the way we intuitively think it does. The anger and aggression can actually cause people to be more sensitive and react disproportionately to any perceived harm. See also roid rage, the prevalence of steroid use among police officers, and their propensity to provoke confrontation.
The root issue seems to lie, in large part, in the normalization of “free”. It is very, very good to established big social, but it breaks how the market is supposed to work.

It’s a two-hit knockout:

1. Because users aren’t the ones paying, their interests and well-being fundamentally don’t matter. Paying customers are investors & advertisers, and the only thing that matters to them is that users don’t leave.

2. Because it’s impossible to justify switching (and convincing all friends & family to switch) away from a free solution, and because no honest business can compete with free, users won’t leave.

The vast resources big social accumulates from elsewhere, it can throw at optimizing the GUI and algorithms to keep eyeballs glued—suggest posts that are likely to trigger this individual, make them engage in another pointless argument or mindlessly like and reshare. Behold the eternal enemy of the market—information asymmetry—taken to a whole new level.

When a product with millions of users is inevitably user-hostile due to the fundamentals of parent company’s business model, I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to call it society-hostile.

Bringing the market back into the industry, turning users into paying customers and allowing them to vote with their money, could be the solution.

That's a really poor analogy. Decriminalizing drugs will not mean that somebody will have a right to give you drugs. Human trafficking involves abusing other people.

It will mean that an incredible amount of money spent on policing can be used on education of what drugs are and what they do to you. The people that have a job to police the lives of others are scared of this because they will be without a job. As their job is basically not needed they are scared of losing their welfare and privilege.
> And maybe decriminalize human trafficking too?

The difference between the drug trade and human trafficking is that it may be argued that the former does not involve harm of others. The latter could never support such an argument.
