The optimal level in your opinion probably depends heavily on how close you live to that factory.

Anyway even if you want to live in Cass Sunstein land where everything is a cost benefit analysis then you have to work on some really hard problems like how it's not really possible to fairly cost something like a person getting cancer. It's also really hard to fairly compare them to the extremely diffuse "benefits", like the oil company doesn't need to spend a million bucks to install a scrubber so everyone's gas is 1 one trillionth cent per gallon cheaper on average.

Point is this kind of cost benefit stuff is a buck passing truism unless and until we can solve these problems and more. I won't be holding my breath.
I like the idea, it's cute and could be a whole new way for more physically minded people to get into publishing, but my qualms are: $8.25 seems a little steep for a simple blog. Perhaps if it was actually the price of a coffee ($3-5) it would be a bit more reasonable.

Second thing is there's no way to try it out. I don't really want to drop $99 on something without having any idea whether it's going to work for me, especially as handwriting recognition is so sketchy and I have no idea what it's going to be like.

Perhaps even just a demo mode or something to play around with?
So I went back and rewatched the video and didn't see anything violent or illegal at all. I guess some of the vehicles depicted like the drag car are not street legal.

If you exclude product placement in fiction then I can't think of any commercials with illegal Behavior.

> When you canary a new version of a binary, you'll have the old version that only supports v1, and the canary version that supports v1 and v2. If it's the server, none of the clients use v2 yet, so this is fine. If it's the client, you've already updated the server to support v2, so it works fine.

But the supposed benefit of the monorepo was that you could update everything from v1 to v2 in one atomic commit, and that hasn't actually happened. You have to make the changes in exactly the same way as if your client and server were in separate repositories; indeed it may be harder to get your integration tests to test every combination that will actually be deployed. So when there's a network boundary in between - or more to the point a deployment boundary in between - you end up with the costs of the monorepo but not the benefit.
I really appreciate this take. I find that focusing on the labels tends to actually reinforce their negative effects. "Women in tech" implies there is something special about women being in tech, as the author points out, which reinforces the idea that there is something different or odd about it. I get that it's meant to be empowering, but I think it's often the exact opposite.

It's perfectly fine I think for there to be women-focused technology groups, or women-focused initiatives. E.g. if a company realizes it has a very low percentage of women in leadership roles, it's useful to say, "Ok, how do we address that?" But it's very easy to go from that to the kind of thing you're talking about, where people are inadvertently imposing labels and roles, even when that's exactly what they're working against.
I've been playing with Steampipe a bit and it's really great, but unfortunately the SQL language lets it down a bit because of the structure of the language.

To explain... Steampipe has this amazing autocomplete functionality so you don't even have to know the table name you want - you can just start typing the table name and it will show you the list of possible matches. But because you have to type the "column names" before you type the "table name", Steampipe is unable to offer any autocomplete on the available attributes.

For example, instead of typing: `SELECT name, create_date FROM aws_iam_role` it would be much better if you could type: `FROM aws_iam_role SELECT name, create_date`. That way, Steampipe would be able to autocomplete the attributes available for each object.

Here's some of my repos, where I wouldn't say I'm a Haskell programmer, was more writing C/Python back when I wrote these:

Fractal renderer: https://github.com/serprex/Fractaler
Templates.hs implements a variety of fractals as pure functions & Fractaler.hs is the UI

Brainfuck interpreter: https://github.com/serprex/bfhs
minibf.hs is half the size of bf.hs, but the latter is more optimized as it implements jump tables for [] instructions & combines consecutive <>+- & more. Tape implemented as a zipper. Fun part of implementation is that the interpreter is mostly a pure function building up an output string & returns that to the io interpreter when it needs input or escaping
The latter. I think we can have them in service before we could complete a new HSR line starting from scratch, at least in the US. (I think Europe is better at this kind of HSR infrastructure, so maybe it wouldn't be as bad.)
I actually stopped using Obsidian a few months ago. I feel like these knowledge collection/note taking applications over complicate everything. I wasn't happy with the search feature in Obsidian specifically and the fact that it forces you to add their own application specific characters/flavor to your markdown. [0]

I thought about it and my minimum requirements for a knowledge graph tool are:

1. Edit files in vanilla Markdown (no application specific cruft)

2. Be able to search content easily (ideally via grep)

3. Add 1:1 or 1:many links between files (direct links vs. tags, ideally using requirement 2 to implement this)

And the simplest solution for me was:

1. A single level directory of md files (no folders!)

2. Vim + Telescope [1]

3. A small set of guidelines [2] to define searchable patterns for linking files/nodes

I also wrote a little md renderer (seen in link 2) that adds the features I wanted for exploring my notes/second brain in a browser that picks up on the patterns in the guidelines. Gotta get a grep search on that thing and it'll be golden, but I apologize I'm rambling at this point.

COBOL isn't older than all of us!
I've found that if you don't have structure, then you're reliant on plain search terms. As you have more and more leafs, without a tree, your searches will match more and more leafs, to the point where you'll have difficultly finding conceptually related but not textually related concepts. If you're using tags or links, I would claim those are structure. I've often found I have to go back and add tags/links to pages so I can find them in the search results.

I think structureless is not possible, since some form of structure will grow, with lumps. I think there's some happy in between, with some light structure in place.

> The idea that if we just let developers build out more (sure, yes they should) that then housing prices would drop and cascade down to where homeless people could afford a place to live

Its obviously not true. Its a working theory - the more housing available, the lower the cost - is true. But SF has such a high demand you can probably double housing in SF and demand would not satiate. That said, seattle has built tons of housing, and stalled some of the exploding costs of housing.

There is probably no good solution to SF's issue - its so out of hand and so expensive that even if you doubled the city you wouldn't solve the issue. Like you said - 6 blocks just to homeless shelters is a lot (doable, but a lot). Especially for a city so geographically constrained.

And is known as a Bang Path: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UUCP#Bang_path
I remember seeing this when I was a CS research intern working at a major Japanese company in Kawasaki back in 2010. I'm from America, and this was my first time in Japan. At the company, our workstations ran Windows XP; I guess the company refused upgrading to Vista, and Windows 7 was not yet approved.

This article brought back two memories:

1. Learning how to code on a Japanese keyboard, where some of the symbols were in different locations, and where I needed to get used to having two small space bars instead of one single, long space bar. Eventually one of my coworkers introduced me to the Happy Hacking Keyboard (https://happyhackingkb.com), which is popular among programmers in Japan due to its typing feel and the fact it has a version with a US-style keyboard layout. I stuck with that keyboard for the rest of my internship.

2. Seeing ¥n in my code instead of \n.

Eventually I ended up installing a Linux virtual machine on my workstation that was localized to American English, though a big reason for this was because my internship project was writing a Linux kernel module. But I still needed to use my Japanese knowledge to use Microsoft Office and other programs on Windows.

My eight months in Kawasaki were among the best in my life. Since then I've been to Japan six more times, and I'm looking forward to visiting Japan again once it's reopen to tourism.
> Unfortunately, I think the problem we've run into in the U.S. is that minimum wage jobs have already hit rock bottom working conditions.

Have you seen working conditions in poorer parts of world, or in previous decades when the US was comparatively poorer?

What makes you think 2021 US is 'rock bottom'?

> Raising the minimum wage is the only thing left to improve conditions for those stuck in them.

Well, here again orthodox economics suggest other avenues: decrease taxation on labour, support increased competition between employers for labour (eg by allowing easier access by foreign companies, by making formation of capital easier, etc).

A really big deal in the US would be to 'decriminalize' construction of new housing. That by itself would open up oodles of blue collar job opportunities to compete with existing employers, and it would also decrease what everyone (including workers) has to pay afford a place to stay.

I happily gave money to Art when he was alive but when he checked out he checked out. There’s a better option on Apple anyway for art bell. Rekola Midnight.

Norway gets cold, and is almost at 100% EV sales (will reach this point in April 2022). New gas vehicle sales are banned starting in 2025.

I look at no-code as evolving to produce a high-level, (often visual) Domain Specific Language, with abstractions suited only to the problem domain.

Excel is the archetypal success-story, perhaps. It is ill-suited as a general purpose programming language, but as a language for arithmetic operations on data it... excels.

The same is true of Airtable and Zapier. They introduce new, simple abstractions for data, and for automation.

Disclosure: I'm the founder of a no-code startup in the browser automation space. I rationalise what we do as 'introducing high-level abstractions in a visual DSL'. You won't see that description in investor pitches. No-code products are just high-level programming languages.

If you pick the correct abstractions, working this way is actually faster than coding for the bulk of use-cases, whilst making edge-cases hard to deal with. For those, coding is inevitable.
Which is perhaps all the more reason for spokespeople to act beyond reproach rather than an excuse to justify a 60km flight.

> If you're subscribing to orthodox economics then in that case raising minimum wage would result in job losses.

No, that's just one outcome. I already described another outcome higher up the comment tree: reduction in non-wage benefits.

In practice, you would probably see some combination of outcomes.

> A huge issue has to be illegal immigrant population that largely competes for low wage positions -- I've heard it's estimated about 15 million but could be as high as double that.

The demand curve for labour seems to be nearly horizontal, ie in the longer run more or less labour supplied (almost) doesn't change its price.

> [...] but even champions of labor and the disadvantaged such as Sanders talked about the problem [...]

Are you suggesting that those people who are desperate enough to become nearly right-less illegal immigrants do not count as labour or as disadvantaged?

(I can very well believe that Sanders doesn't care about them, of course.)

So is the argument from fallacy... If you want to argue against science then you should bring your own evidence because claiming that someone agreeing that their observations match 3rd party scientific observations is a fallacy is beyond silly.
Ohh come on! Yes, some of these questions are relevant, theoretically.

> Why build something if people won't use it?

We know some people will use it since the ones already built are full. If we look at other cities - eg. NYC we see the ratio sheltered to unsheltered are different from SF. The difference? Availability of shelter. SF has hundreds of beds and thousands of homeless. Surely a few hundred more beds would be used.

> Should there be some that are drug friendly and some that aren't?

The article illustrated that the majority of the growth was with people that are not drug users, so this is a big issue, but you can exclude drug users and still make a difference without dealing with this question. (but maybe you should find a way to help them too).

> This assumes they want to find a job though.

Surely some do. If not, they're still a person and we should help them.

> But why do so many people want these monorepos?

Lots of people elsewhere in the thread have given reasons that I won't repeat, but I will say I think it's a very different situation for an engineering-focused company compared to, for example, open source projects.

In a company you get a lot of advantages from uniformity of tools and practices and dependencies across the many projects/products that the company has, and you have the organizational structure to onboard new employees onto that way of working and to maintain the level of uniformity and actually benefit from it.

In open source, every project and even every contributor is sovereign unto themselves. In this situation, the difficulties of cross-project changes are primarily human organizational challenges - even if you could collect a lot of projects into a monorepo, you couldn't get the big benefits from it because you wouldn't be able to get everyone to agree to stick to a single set of tools and do the other things that make monorepos powerful.

I think monorepos are great for companies.

But using git as a basis for a monorepo system is a bad idea for the reasons you suggest. It's totally the wrong tool for the job.

I remember the transition period when (nearly) everyone in the open source world moved over multiple years from subversion - or in some cases cvs - to git. The advantages of decentralised development for open source were really clear, and so was the way git tracked branch and merge history (when git was first developed, subversion barely tracked merge history at all, which made it easy to end up with bad merges after accidentally merging the same change multiple times). And at the scale of repositories in the open source world, git was massively faster than svn. But the speed doesn't scale, and if you've got a monorepo you almost certainly aren't doing real decentralised development, and the merge tracking in subversion was fixed (well... maybe; honestly I haven't been paying enough attention to be sure). So seriously SvnHub would actually be a better basis for the monorepo world. It's almost unfortunate that git took over so comprehensively that now companies want to use it for a different context where it really doesn't shine at all.

No-code is really a pushback against the over-code or code-abuse in today's layers upon layers of tech mess.

Old RAD tools like VisualBasic is far superior than no-code. GUI is better than CLI if done right.
Now that a significant number of programmers use Mac keyboard, I frequently see people go for the "International" layout that is available from every Apple stores() for all keyboard including laptops. It's pretty close to the US layout, with a bigger entry key and two more keys as a bonus.

() in some store I think it's the "GB international". Also, it's such as shame all layouts aren't available from all countries, when in practice ordering a laptop means having it shipped from China anyway.
SQL is no/low-code compared to using a low-level database like BDB for a given level of power. And yet it's much simpler for most use cases.

Back in the 90s, my girlfriend and I would go out drinking and end the night in the back of her van listening to Art Bell and sobering up. The show I remember most was when a guy called saying he was flying into area 51 and Art was trying to talk him out of it.
Putting people into labeled silos, especially if you can get people to accept those labels and thus the confines of their silo, makes them easy to control. 'Security Moms', 'NASCAR Dads', 'Woman in Tech', 'Gay Teens', etc. are all ways of pigeonholing people into easily manipulated groups.
