A similar but somewhat more physicaly sound idea is the Slingatron: a launch track several kilometers long in a spiral shape, on stilts that rotate in synchronization. The g-forces are much more reasonable because of the increasing track diameter.
This is a bit deceptive, because we could always go back to writing in assembly language. The point of scripting languages are usually to make creating programs easier, requiring fewer lines and time to create. There are different aspects of efficiency that is being overlooked.

> an agreed upon estimate

That's not an estimate; that sounds like the outcome of a negotiation. If someone demands an estimate from me, they get one - if it's not the one the manager wanted, he's free to substitute his own.

I'm accustomed to managers upping my estimates by 10%, and I've known them to increase them by 100%. For small jobs, requiring an estimate instantly doubles the estimate, because it takes longer to produce a good estimate than it does to do the work.

If you reduce my estimate, or try to talk me down, the new estimate is your estimate, not mine. And if you think it's fair to try to nail me to my estimate, then you obviously don't know what "estimate" means, and I need a new employer.
Right hand rule applied to spiral staircases.
> i've heard business leaders express the suspicion that sw eng teams are trying to avoid accountability by claiming estimating is too hard.

If we say that we don't know how long its going to take or how much its going to cost - can you blame them?

Lots devs like me have a comms issue. We would love to deliver stunningly brilliant complete package on the first attempt and we come across as secretive. We need to made to think about delivering an MVP and building a product up incrementally. This way those nervious bosses and investors can see that something is happening. I think the question is often not "how long is it going to take?", but rather "will you ever deliver something I can sell?".
Busting 5 Sigstore Myths
Not who you're asking but I feel like answering on my own behalf.

1) the treatment of the Uyghurs, hands down. Sometimes standing on your principles is what you have to do. Justice be done though the heavens may fall.

2) neither. China will do nothing that makes it harder for them to become the dominant economic, social and military force on earth. If burning coal gets them there that's what they'll do, and if lip service buys them time that's what they'll do.

In case you haven't noticed, nobody is holding their feet to the fire on climate change. Turning a blind eye to genocide is not about climate change, it is about access to the lucrative Chinese middle class.

This is my thought when I see people railing against the fossil fuel companies like they are purposefully trying to force a product on us we don't want or need solely in an effort to watch the world burn.

Oil is a dense fuel source that is easily transported. If we somehow magically permanently capped all current and future oil wells today we'd be in the middle of a crisis that would dwarf any concerns we might have about climate change down the road. We're making great progress on renewable energy sources, but we're not there yet. More protests isn't going to change that. Personally I wish we'd go all-in on nuclear power and work to remove the road blocks that make that so expensive and take so long to bring up new power plants, so that we could add that to the mix and get to the point where a complete loss of the flow of oil wouldn't end civilization as we know it.
This is a really cool idea.

I'm wondering what your approach to scalability is, as it seems like you're going to have large bursts of traffic every half hour ( with certain hours having much more traffic depending on demographics).

If this messenger takes off, how are you going to deal with say for example all of India having their messages deliver all at once in the evening?
If you participate in facebook etc apps and services at all they have far more insidious and effective tracking and NAT isn't hiding you at all. Additionally the idea that it is granting you any measure of privacy is only true if you're behind a giant translation block with tens of thousands of unrelated people and a broad enough public range that connection correlation becomes impractical, compressing a single family or roommates behind a single public IP that changes maybe every few weeks accomplishes very little if anything.

If you need anonymity that much for whatever purpose, depending on v4 NAT is dangerous at best and you should be looking into anonymous proxies or VPN providers (that also mask ipv6), Onion routing, etc.
If every single person made some positive change and moved the needle... then nothing else would happen. Because there's profit to be made, the issue is global capitalism. Environmental disaster is just a side effect.
How does this work? Do all the game series use the same engine code and assets?
I wonder how much of that is a factor of era-started for the directorial positions. Directors have usually accrued decades of experience in the industry, and thus started their careers earlier when culture was more sexist. I think male-dominated senior positions are going to be phased out much more slowly as a less homogeneous workforce matures.
The complaining about ETH/BTC environmental cost is probably the lamest anti-crypto argument. It's just this beaten to death: https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/08/14/beware-isolated-demand...

I agree; I'm not saying that a perfectly fair system would produce ratios identical to demographics. There's always going to be cultural aspects (though the degree to which black and white culture in America are separate is obviously a large part a consequence of racism and slavery). The point is only to use the outcome as a heuristic for what to look into.

Yeah cause your high lol. Psychedelics and other drugs can provide a different perspective of looking at things. For some people this might help them. For a lot of people I still believe that we should be doing studies with meditation and breathing exercises first. As much as I think drugs like marijuana have helped me become very emotionally intelligent, drugs are still dangerous even if they can’t physically hurt you. I think headlines like this which are used only to drive clicks to nature.com are 100 percent inaccurate and misleading. It’s hard to be depressed when your high (yes it’s microcode but ur still high and you know it lol). Doing research on this is fine but for nature.com to take it and write this headline is cancer
I think it's an anti-smug move: the point is we are all "within it all".

Yes, we could talk about systemic racism etc. That is why one might engage in a lot of political projects. However a highly specific demand about ratios in upper-middle-class high-status industries... these specific demands are a little harder to parse.

The #metoo movement was not about the masses in the industry, it was about the elites. The academic "fire them" movements (eg., against pinker) are likewise not about the army of PhDs and their sexism. Rather these are intra-elite warfare using somewhat valid grounds to wage an attack on resource-horders.

I agreed that these groups have justifiable reasons to make demands; that's partly my point. The issue, where it exists, it their methods.

It is very easy to become cynical and take these demands "too literally" as demands for quotas, and for reinstitutionalising racism "as a corrective".

Rather, it is better to see them as the same ordinary politics everyone both engages in, and is entitled to engage in.

As for the "theology" that refers to the particular dogmatic moralising and evangelising approach taken, and the frequently dubious premises.
In some places in East Africa, ideas we might marginalize and call "conspiracy theories" in America, like COVID being a fake pandemic, are considered common sense knowledge [0].

Ideas and beliefs aren't supposed to influence the actual health of individuals, but they do. This is why modern science takes great care to control for the healing effects of placebo during clinical trials via blind and double-blind protocols. The opposite phenomenon of nocebo, expectations of falling ill leading to physiologically measurable illness, is rarely discussed. These psycho-physiological effects occur independently of personality traits like intelligence and gullibility.[1]

Psilocybe cubensis - in particular, the "Golden Teacher" strain. It is native to the Americas, and cultivated in Vancouver. Received in full fruiting body form, ground in to powder for consistency of dosage. Initially, I started with .10g, up to .20g. Most of the dosing is between those values.

The schedule is 5 on, 2 off, and it's taken in conjunction with B3 (Niacin) and Lion's Mane (a non-psychoactive mushroom). All together, the mix promotes neurogenesis.

Combined with tools like meditation, exercise, and a supportive environment, it can do wonders to help re-construct toxic patterns built from long-term depressions and anxieties.
Maybe I expressed myself incorrectly, because my goal wasn't to "both-sides" this. My point was that there is a complete refusal (as far as I see) to do a critical evaluation of the steps California took, to see whether they were excessive/broad (or, I suppose, too relaxed) in some circumstances. To even ask the question, as I'm doing, puts you in the false-equivalence crosshairs.
No, you won't go back into it!

If you remember it, and used it a few years ago, but then forgot about it until some random HN post mentioned it, it's not something with persistent utility (addiction) to you.

Yes, that is of course a benefit, but what I was trying to get at was that you'd still have to dig around within the router config, so it'd still not quite be the radically easy, absolutely hassle-free peer-to-peer communication world.
After a couple decades working at companies and projects of all sizes, I always cringe when I hear prescriptive ideas about some abstract approach working or not working. In my experience, lots of different things can work, but there are more ways to fail than to succeed. When we're talking about large scale software projects with fluid requirements ultimately success hinges primarily on having competent individuals and trust between them.

Without trust everyone is trying to cover their own ass, and in the case of large projects most of them will easily succeed since you only need one scapegoat. This is the type of environment where detailed estimates are demanded so that management had a paper trail, or where engineers implement the letter of a PRD and never propose changes to inconsistent or awkward requirements because it's too much energy and they'll be gone before they have to deal with the tech debt anyway. Often times in these type of environments someone will propose a process such as scrum to address particular pain points, but layering a process on a dysfunctional team doesn't address the core issue; at best the routine can shield individuals from chaos, but it won't actually improve throughput in any meaningful way.

At the end of the day, the best you can do with large scale estimation is get a handful of your best engineers who can roughly envision what needs to happen and have them chalk out a rough plan at a very coarse granularity and with key assumptions enumerated. Then with your best product people chalk out a strategic roadmap showing where they believe the product should go over the next 5 years so they can take that as input into account for architectural strategy. The key thing is that everyone understands that all long-term plans are subject to unknowns and change for all sorts of reasons—the point is not to pin people down but to leverage individual expertise to develop a best guess at what is possible. This is where trust is at its most tenuous and stands on a razor's edge; all it takes is one bozo to treat these things as guarantees and start throwing people under the bus when things go wrong, and before you know it trust is gone and everyone is in cover-your-ass mode. Now the group has lost the ability to accomplish the most ambitious goal of which they would otherwise be capable.
Your comment has an interesting perspective, but I disagree that anti-depressants would solely give you more energy as a treatment.

The vast majority of them these days are SSRI, which effectively raises the level of serotonin that your body (not just brain) functions under. If anything, they will tend to make you more tired and blunt mood swings.

Bupropion, on the other hand, is a wonder drug for me that seems to effectively remove the bottom of my depression without really causing any other side-effects (except maybe a subtle positive effect on ADHD symptoms).
1. Team onboarding is almost zero effort. I spent upwards of a week onboarding in the past (install this library, install this server, install is broken, try again, etc.). That becomes clone, click, and forget with dev-containers.

2. If you CI you dev-container and publish to a private registry, only one computer is spending the time installing and setting up dependencies. Everyone else simply bases their local image off of that one (and saving productive working time).

3. If you mess up the dev environment with some failed experiment, simply recreate the container and carry on.

4. The dockerfile is a form of documentation: what is needed for this thing to run.

5. If you use Github, you can run your environment in a browser if you are in a pinch. I've only done this once, but it was hella useful.

I do write code in statically typed languages (C++, Haskell, have done Java before, etc...).

> Also, .methods is a runtime thing, that’s hardly useful

I think you missed the whole point of a REPL and dynamic languages... Developing while program is running = runtime things are definitely useful, they provide instant feedback (including completions, linting, that sort of thing).
I think it's less about technical infrastructure (which, I agree, does not need to be complicated) and more about interfaces which facilitate its use and networks which facilitate reading and feedback.

Hey Troy, I appreciate the response! I buy that you aren't motivated by this one city council position in particular. But we can't escape the fact that every policy decision exists in our particular reality and has material effects. There's no such thing as an ideologically-neutral electoral system, of all things, because a change in system will select different candidates from the actual pool of existing candidates or types of candidates.

Wealthy elites don't care what policy choices are optimal in terms of some abstract desiderata[1], they push for the policies that will be best for them materially. Working people need to understand that and behave the same way.

To take a different example: Republicans in the U.S. push for voter ID laws because they favor Republican election outcomes. This is pretty well understood. A voter ID law appears on its face ideologically neutral. It still is meant to bring about a certain outcome, and should be fought on the basis of that outcome. It doesn't even matter if somebody pushing the legislation has a different intention, even a noble one!

[1] Incidentally, I'm not really sure how well AV even meets those desiderata. For example, does a non-Condorcet system really reflect voters' preferences most accurately? Later-no-harm is another criteria that comes to mind. I'm skeptical of the claim that AV is really "more reflective" in some objective sense than FPTP.

China is a dictatorship. If civilizational collapse or not depends on the mood of the Pooh Bear, we’re fucked.

Luckily, it does not. Manufacturing is already shifting out of China to multiple other countries, and with increasing automation, might even end up back in the West.

We’ll almost certainly have to do a combo of the following anyway:

- limit emissions as much as possible using nuclear and solar

- scrape carbon et al out of the atmosphere somehow

- take a certain amount of warming on the chin and roll with it… again, somehow

I feel like there’s a disconnect between people who believe climate change is an existential threat to humanity within the next few years and those who believe it’s a problem that will get worse over time, but not an immediate existential threat. It’s worth pointing out that all doomsday prophesies so far haven’t come true, not just about climate change but nuclear warfare, asteroids hitting the earth, over-population, etc. overstating the immediate risks of climate change will lead to ignoring clear abuses like what China is doing to the Uyghurs.
