Quite simply, no wolves aren’t dangerous. There were 12 wolf attacks from 2002-2020 in Europe and North America: [1]

“In Europe and North America we only found evidence for 12 attacks (with 14 victims), of which 2 (both in North America) were fatal, across a period of 18 years. Considering that there are close to 60.000 wolves in North America and 15.000 in Europe, all sharing space with hun- dreds of millions of people it is apparent that the risks associated with a wolf attack are above zero, but far too low to calculate”

Right, the problem is me, and how I describe them, not their poor behavior and gold-bricking.

I haven't said anything at all about their worth as human beings. What I take issue with is their behaviors - laziness, ignorance, deliberate stupidity, and the idea of being entitled to employment regardless of your contribution to the value of the employer. Unions protect the worst kind of people - occasionally they can get it right, but it is clear to me that unions are an inferior and woefully insufficient tool for labor issues. In the US, at least. I've no doubt many other countries get it right. We don't play by sane rules in the US.
This is exactly the tragedy of the commons.
And to the southeast, to Croatia and Serbia where for example the beginning and the end of winter in the Orthodox calendar are marked by saints that are called the "wolf apostles".

All traditions related to wolf cults and werewolf stories are more or less related to local people having to deal with wolves as animals on a daily basis.

Or so I've read :).

This landscape of fear is interesting concept.
> We are already deciding where people can live. It's called zoning, and zoning laws restrict how we can build our homes, where we live, and what transportation options we can use.

Mostly in urban areas. You go to the rural places we're talking about, you might find the zoning is minimal to non-existent. Implementing zoning would absolutely be a new restriction on where people can live, what they can build on their property. People in those areas are often used to doing nearly whatever they like on their own property - short of things that'd be illegal wherever they did them. You're proposing to take that away?
> Linux having a better development model more open to outsiders is another, arguably more important, one.

Not to mention being easier to try out (the path to becoming a developer starts with trying it out). Back when Linux was growing, it was very easy to install, to the point of not even needing to repartition the disk; through the magic of UMSDOS and LOADLIN, you could install it to your DOS partition and treat it as if it were a DOS program (with the only difference being that you couldn't "exit" Linux back to DOS without rebooting). From what I've heard, not only was that not possible with the BSD distributions, but also they were more picky about the hardware. That was the path I took: when I wanted a true Unix-like (instead of just playing with DJGPP), I did some research, and concluded Slackware was the best option, mainly because it had UMSDOS and so if it didn't work out, I would just have to remove its directory (of course, once I noticed I wasn't even using DOS anymore, I dedicated a full partition formatted as ext2 to Linux, and later started installing Linux exclusively).

I remember some browser blocking that at some point, but I still occasionally see it. I can’t believe there’s no way to “go back to the previous website” in most browsers. Safari iOS for example just clips the history so you can’t even hold the back button and scroll up if there are dozens of entries.
Theoretically what could work is to flip things around. Instead of drawing blood from the patient and analyzing it in a lab, miniaturize the lab and implant it in the patient. That way the sensors have continuous direct access to blood or other fluids.

Obviously there are huge challenges to designing such an implanted medical device, and it could only ever work for a limited set of assays, but I expect something like that will eventually be possible. We already see diabetics wearing continuous glucose monitors, which gives a preview of how such implanted sensors might operate.

Something like Hugo, I guess, though it's not WYSIWYG. But I don't think a WYSIWYG editor would cope with today's websites too well.

Back in the day everyone viewed your website on a desktop computer, in something around 1024x768 resolution, and if you designed for that then you were fine for most readers. Now, most people will be viewing it on a mobile device, with twice the resolution than it actually appears, and a huge range of possible aspect ratios. There's no WYSIWYG tool that can handle this easily.

Fortunately, there are lots of really simple ways to host your personal page now. From Github/lab pages, to Cloudflare pages, to AWS S3 buckets, there's a huge range of hosting options.

I've used Hugo via Gitlab pages, and it worked really well. Especially because free (as in beer).

Like the “Go” programming language. Only Google could have gotten away with this name since to be honest I was pretty sure it used to be a “do not brother indexing”/“stop word” back in the day. So I honestly suspect Google had to alter their search engine to search for the programming language they invented just because they made it impossible to search for because of how bad the name is.
I agree with most of these practices. In a lot of the documentation about these things the warnings not to apply them prematurely exist and one must always weigh pros and cons, etc. It is easy to fall into the pitfall of having found a hammer and seeing nails everywhere after wading through reams of cool architecture patterns.

But there is maybe a downside to the advised refactoring processes as well. In a way you exchange consistency, predictable and repeated code structures, for less structural complexity but on an ad-hoc case-by-case basis because everywhere you make different choices to how far you take the abstraction.

This creates another way that a codebase can be hard to comprehend to newcomers or when returning to it much later. "Why do they use this pattern here, but not over there?", "Why is this an interface and that not?", etc. Similar ways of doing things become less recognizable.

It is comparable to the discussion that applying SOLID generally leads to more boilerplate, which requires discipline and results in more 'moving parts' to pay attention to, versus a much more practical approach that is less time-consuming in the short term. In this latter approach 'continual refactoring' is needed to avoid it starts to bite later on.

So I'd say: handle decision of 'prematurity' of abstractions with care too, before you remove them.

The Vertical Slice Architecture is a good approach. And a good folder structure and file naming convention can make tracing interfaces to the implementation that is invoked a lot easier as well.

PS. It might be cool to have those sticky note diagrams being more directly tied to the code with some tool, as a way to navigate and delve into it. And along with that suggest more elaborate alternative design chunks that can be 'swapped in' if refactoring to higher abstraction is warranted.
So, as luck would have it, today I had to fly from outside the Schengen zone into the Schengen zone with a layover.

So, passport checks, covid certificate checks, ticket checks. The ticket is non-resellable, non-refundable, non-transferrable to another person.

Guess how many of those steps required a blockchain. Also guess how many of those steps simply worked, and didn't need a blockchain.

Edit: Also worth noting: I bought the ticket through what is essentially a reseller (an aggregator site), and I could verify the ticket's authenticity with the organizer (the air company). Guess how many of these steps needed a blockchain to work.

A phrase that I heard once has stuck with me:

I think we're talking past one another. I'm sure there's plenty of ways to make money by flipping various crypto assets.

Where we disagree is our value judgement of that. I just don't see that as being useful per se, imo there's enough ways to move numbers around using computers already, a novel one can't really get me all that excited, especially considering its resource cost.

I have yet to see a good argument for crypto that doesn't boil down to that.

I think it's one of those "when you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail" scenarios. Marketplace volume isn't a good in itself if the markets don't do anything useful and waste a bunch of energy, but to people bought into crypto and capitalism really deeply it seems to be enough to get excited.

Code being a pain to work with, causing devs to quit and constantly causing bugs is costing massive amounts of money in lost productivity.

Every hour the Senior Engineer wastes putting out fires is $100+ down the drain. Management simply refuses to include these costs in their calculations.

We should start keeping track of this time expenditure very accurately and repeatedly show it to higher management: this is how much tech dept has cost this project this month.

Unfortunately, they still won't listen. We're just whiny little babies in their eyes.

How does a BMI of over 30 put other workers at risk? These situations are not analogous. And unless Alabama has a far more strict proposal than the proposed federal mandate, no one is requiring unvaccinated workers be fired, only they be tested weekly, so the analogy breaks down on that front as well.

While I can understand that it must be frustrating to see people misunderstand the science and do stupid things, I don't think this article is very helpful for the "dopamine fasters". Thing is, these are troubled people going to a lot of effort to improve their lives, and they are doing almost but not quite the right thing. What they need is a huge helping of encouragement and just a small amount of course correction.

These "benchmarks" are from six years ago in 2015 (which is more than you say "a few years ago") by a JetBrains employee, shilling his own work at the company, on his own blog. [1] Given that six years has passed, those results are irrelevant to today's shipping versions.

Things have evidently got much worse since that study was made. Lately, the editor is plagued not only with delays in syntax highlighting, but also complete lock-ups (keyboard unresponsive in editor panes), requiring the IDE to be restarted.

I have been a paying customer of JetBrains since 2015 and have found the recent offerings to be so goopy and slow that I was ready to cancel and switch to VSCode [2] like everyone else at work. The only thing which stopped me doing so was switching the boot JDK from JBR JDK 11 to Azul Zulu 15 (though I suspect any 15 JDK will have had the same effect.) Cancelling your subscription is the best way to be heard.

Constantly growing and developing software systems collapse under their own weight eventually, and JetBrains' products are no exception.

I used to feel this way until I heard an explanation that made it click ever since. Small talk is a channel with a single bit of information, which is "I am not your enemy." This is different from "I am your friend." It's the same reason monkeys pull bugs out of each other's fur.

All people want from you when making small talk is for you to talk about the inane things in your life with a positive energy. The inane chatter shows you're normal and relatable (you're someone who's going to enjoy the latest TV show and get burgers for lunch, instead of shooting up a school), and the positive energy shows you're not harboring ill will towards them.

It can't be said too much that Abstractions are costly.

In the ideal case they're less costly than the alternative, but assuming a Pattern will magically make the code better can itself be even more expensive.

Finding the right balance between refactoring and not wanting to make the code harder to understand is always a challenge.
> I am not sure why grid is one of the most useful, yet underutilized set of features in CSS

First time I tried to use grid layout, we had to roll back the changes because it didn't work in IE11... now that IE11 support is being phased out in most places it might be more usable now?

I do agree that the grid stuff is a little too robust. I'm also finding myself looking it all up again every time I need to use it... but maybe I just don't have the muscle memory down yet like I do with flexbox.
I came to write this same Arabic story, but my version was about a man that put a piece of bread above the meat grill hopping the smoke/taste will stick to it.

It's definitely both -- it's just that the dogma is broad, and they appear to very carefully and intelligently choose battles. The dogma is "long term software freedom." This includes occasionally accepting that there are battles not worth fighting (or better yet, fighting strategically.)

A really simple example is GPL violations. Pure dogma would require that they try to fight a whole lot of them, since they occur all the time and they're clearly in the legal right.

But they don't, and that's the MUCH SMARTER way to go.

Why this Guix thing strikes me as smart is that it's about "reinforcing modularity." They can't free up EVERYTHING, but they can make the software work different so that it's harder to pretend that everything is all the same.
That's because it isn't real.
Basic as it is, it is worth reminding folks reading this and similar articles that Python, even with type annotations, does not have a compile pass and that IDEs like PyCharm tend to fail open when they can't figure out how to type check something.

I see a lot of folks coming to Python from TypeScript and assuming that there's any enforcement of type annotations a la tsc. There's not, not unless you run a tool like MyPy on your code and configure it to be strict enough to provide the type assurance you need (what level of strictness is appropriate depends on the project and the programmers).

I also see folks getting lulled into a false sense of security by their IDE. PyCharm is great, and it highlights many typing errors in code as you write them. But it gives up very easily in the presence of any indirection at all (many basic decorators which don't change function signatures, for example, are enough to cause it to stop trying to type check decorated functions at all). And when it gives up, there's no indication of that; giving up looks the same as error-free code.

That's not an indictment of any tools. Python is the way it is for good reason, and it's type annotation system is good and getting better all the time (e.g. Protocols as discussed in this article). PyCharm is also super helpful and given how it performs it's type checking it's borderline miraculous that it works as well as it does in the first place.

Rather, this is a reminder, especially for new python programmers: don't assume that type annotations give you anything (except documentation, which it's on you to keep accurate) for free.
