To add: an urban and rural split. By geography, Texas is like 85%+ rural or semi-rural.

In $MAJOR_CITY suburbia, you can call 911 and expect police or fire response within 5-15min.

In $RURAL Texas, response times may be significantly longer which helps to explain a self-reliance culture.

Property theft deterrence, prevention, and enforcement being neatly bundled in the revolver at your hip (think 1850s “old west” town) is what was codified into law in Texas. Particularly theft of horses (eg: mobility or necessary farm labor) was severely punished.

Different challenges often call for different responses to be most effective, and it’s helpful to try and understand the situation and expectations before passing judgement.

Here's a counter example. I've seen numerous Java projects define a nominal predicate type, for example com.google.common.base.Predicate. None of these are interoperable without writing adapter code. ML and Haskell would essentially use a structural type:

t -> bool

Much simpler and easier to consume.

How would you assign a nominal type to the result of a SQL query?

So there are arguments on both sides. My point was that structural types can always easily be turned into a nominal type, but not the other way around. Therefore they should be the default.

Yeah, there is simply just too much risk involved in marriage and children these days if you aren't above a certain financial line. In our current environment, where you can't afford a house and rent rapidly increases each year, the prospect of losing 50% or more of your income is simply too much to bear.

I'd guess that in the next 10 years, these problems come to a head, and we end up with significant deregulation of some of these anachronistic policies. But it will get a lot more dire before this happens.
For example, Soviet Union made self-defense illegal. This was part of a larger strategy to encourage crime against citizens, because the more the citizens are worrying about criminals, the less they think about the regime they are living in. They will even welcome more police oversight, because it is the only protection against crime they have. (Crimes against the state, on the other hand, were punished extremely.)

You are assuming a right to property (along the same lines as your argument about people assuming inherent value).
That’s an interesting take and I agree. I thought about it more like supply chain management, of which queues are a part.
> I had this idea of maybe simply having a "tech debt team"

Please don't do this. If it's one team's job to clean up the messes other teams leave, you've created a terrible incentive for other teams around working clean.

I remember one place where each project had a fixed-in-advance schedule and engineers were rotated among projects based on whoever was available when the project officially started. Since people rarely worked in the same area of the code base from project to project, the incentive was to get something working and then GTFO. The code of course got steadily worse. So then the company would compensate with major rewrites of the most garbage-y sections.
Try go-jira for this. You can use YAML to template out your tickets and `jira create` to create them. I wrote how I do this at https://www.bbkane.com/blog/career-engineering-by-tracking-w...

C++: Is path convertible to string_view?: a war story
In Chrome you can get the event listeners for a given element by selecting/highlighting it in the Elements tab, then jumping across to the Console tab, you use:

getEventListeners($0)

getEventListeners is a Chrome console/devtools only function and $0 is a console placeholder variable for the currently selected element.

It's definitely not the nicest way to find things and you often end up running into the minified/uglified madness when delving deeper, but sometimes it helps do the trick.
In California that is defined as the “Wildland/Urban Interface”. That zone has been subject to much stricter building codes since 2008. Timber frame homes are allowed, as other factors (venting, roof material, rain gutters, roof material, siding material, landscaping) are dramatically more important.

The vast majority or LA county homes are not in a WUI zone, so wildfire extent can’t be used as an argument for this.

Ling Your Language (language guessing game)
I'd be interested in seeing a deep dive analysis comparing the costs in energy / environmental impact, as well as risk profiles from space debris of maintaining clouds of lower-earth orbit satellite vs constellations of higher-earth orbit satellites.

For the lower orbits I think there are some points to be made about the additional flights to maintain enough satellites, as well as the questions of what happens to all this junk as it de-orbits? If we're talking about sustainable infrastructure, what kind of new weird material/chemical build-ups are we going to be dealing with after 50 years of tens/hundreds of thousands of private satellites partially burning up and partially raining down on random spots on the planet?

Perhaps this is less of an issue than I'm imagining it will be, but I tend to think we'd be better off figuring out some kind of autonomous robot LEO satellite aggregation/recapture solution for cleaning up satellites from higher stable orbits that can operate farther and live longer. We should be allocating our launches to other projects.

Even without considering the emissions of launches, there is a significant resource energy/cost for each one and the noise pollution also takes a toll on surrounding ecosystem. If we're going to be ramping up launches to scale the mass to orbit, we're also going to be scaling those negative externalities. I think we really need to make sure the mass we're taking up is worth it and not just governed by whoever happens to have the most money to burn.

I can imagine the very near future where people are paying to launch crypto-mining satellites for memes, or some other such wasteful nonsense.
After working in nominally typed languages for years I’m finding Typescript’s approach to types very liberating. I think structural typing with the option of defining nominal types is a sweet spot in type ergonomics.
> [ https://github.com/m-ou-se/nightly-crimes nightly-crimes! blows away your compiler, running it again in a new environment where it will allow nightly features even though you've got a stable compiler installed... ]

That macros have access to the entire language including arbitrary IO is the defining feature of proc macros (not without controversy). The insanity here is the Rust compiler team adding the `RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP` env var which is a hack used to bootstrap rustc using a stable compiler despite the nightly features used by the codebase.

All nightly-crimes does is use `std::process::Command` to rerun the compiler with the variable set [1], which tells rustc to throw all concepts of stability out the window.

I haven't been following developments but one of the ideas (even has a PoC iirc) was to distribute and run proc macros as web assembly to improve build times and prevent such shenanigans.

It is not UB if it is correctly aligned.

It is UB if the underlying dynamic type is not compatible from the access type

As the bytes are coming from the kernel, you get to decide the dynamic type.
I don't know that is entirely true. My local Jaycar (regional Australia) is still a good source for smaller bits and bobs, and I buy a lot of stuff there like circuit board varnish that nobody else would bother to stock. even then I don't mind paying a small premium for a USB cable or whatever because having a jaycar locally is fantastic for what I do.

I've had a couple of Clojure books I've meant to work through over the past year. Where I'd get stuck is in the development workflow more so than in the language features or syntax. Clojure (and lisp-like languages in general) seem like my usual edit, save, run loop isn't the most effective way (especially if it's Clojure and the JVM needs to start each time if you run cold).
Think of all the paving that prevents natural runoff.

A lot of people can't cope with hearing about different peoples' perspectives or learning about new ideas that might contradict their own beliefs. They don't go on the internet to be challenged, they go on it to be comforted and assured that their beliefs are right and that other people believe the same things.
So is factor probably.

Will be interesting if you pick up a new hobby project once you retire from day job.
I've also found the term quite dangerously misleading. The 'tech' part of the statement makes it sound like the 'debt' that is getting in your way it's purely a concern of the engineering function, where it should be a concern of the business. The 'debt' part is also confusing - I have seen non-technical stakeholders thinking it can be dealt with like financial debt with more revenue or VC rounds in one lump sum, we don't have to worry about it because are a growing startup and debt is normal.

Two alternative explanations I've begin to use over the last few years that have helped:

1) Inertia / Inert Areas - the reason this 'debt' is a problem is it means future changes are hard to execute cleanly, and previously. An area becomes inert to change unless an intervention is made. For non-technical stakeholders they most important thing is often that we can keep making changes, so this sets all sorts of loss aversion alarm bells ringing in a way the term 'debt' doesn't - this is where you can start talking about risk, which crosses the divide between engineering and other functions quite well.

2) Product Debt - Yes in some cases code is just badly written, which is an engineering concern, but often the reason changes in Year 5 are hard to make because the domain / reality has moved on, and the assumptions baked into the code written in Year 2, no matter how clean the code, are now just wrong. For example, baked-in assumptions of how business works in Market A as you are expanding into Market's B and C. This isn't the fault of engineering, just the reality of a product that continues to persist - core changes are inevitable. Product leaders therefore need to also get strategic about when it makes sense to rethink previous decisions driven by product needs, and work with engineering leaders to mitigate otherwise you might end up in an inert ball of mud unable to hit goals.

In the most idealised vision of a piece of software, changes will get harder to make in a linear fashion if previous decision are not revisited will new information. In worst case it's more like an exponential graph, so intervention steps will always have to be taken.

As you say, once you're talking the same language, then you get into the details about what strategies to address this inertia / current conditions.
Microsoft killed its Courier tablet (2011)
It's mostly due to learning more things and having different interests. Sometimes it's a change of opinion, other times it's more like "is this even worth talking about" or "I would phrase things differently if I was writing this now".
> Yeah, if it's not clear cut - don't shoot anyone. I'm talking about people who are in the process of the crime when you caught them as it happened

Can we trust you to accurately determine which situations are "clear cut" (and therefore justify summary execution)? Can we trust any random with a gun to make that determination? And can we trust them when they're the only surviving witness?

Is it a crime worthy of death when someone wanders onto your property due to some kind of mental illness? Is it a crime to accidentally open the wrong door? What about when you accidentally open the wrong door (see Amber Guyger)? Is it a crime to be in a store 1 minute after closing time? Or to walk on someone's property to deliver a package?

Is it a crime to upset someone at the bar and then turn up dead on their property, "in the process of committing a robbery"?

You are advocating for giving everyone the power of judge, jury, and executioner, regardless of whether they are qualified or honest. And you are encouraging those people to engage in gun battles where the "victim" is also at risk of death.

Spend more time thinking about your opinions.
A sufficiently advanced compiler is indistinguishable from an adversary
Leave yesterday.
Fully agreed. Posts saying they're "worth $0" are most likely to be accurate if you take the average early-stage startup (most fail).

But as an insider, you have the ability to uniquely gauge whether this is an "average" startup, or one where truly thoughtful, innovative, honest, humble people are working hard for a dream that, from your vantage point, has a good chance of panning out, even modestly.

I will say that your $60k compensation isn't a good sign, though. It signals that the engineers they've hired either (1) are great engineers and they really, really believe in the future of the company, or (2) aren't that great. You can probably gauge which is the case for yourself, but across all low-paying startups, (1) would be a very rare case, and (2) would be far more likely.

Perhaps an example that immediately comes to mind is c++ overloaded functions with mutable and immutable versions of the same base type (const ref, non const ref, rvalue reference).
The F# ones are tacked-on and have awkward syntax, but otherwise, why not?
As I said, anonymous records could permit named arguments for free, e.g.

let foo {x, y} = x + y
in foo {x=1, y=2}

The function "foo" above has type:

{ x:int, y:int } -> int

Again, a nominal type can always easily be created from a structural type.
Not the person you replied to, but it's usually more of a shift in desired tone/writing style than just a general objective evaluation.

For example I can write a post and feel the tone is good, then come back to it and find it too informal, not expert-y enough. Then I'll write a new article and some time later find it too academic and not engaging enough.

That might just be me though.

Not necessarily. In a home-invasion situation, the only person who really knows what's going on is the burglar. I have to assume that he doesn't just want my stuff, he wants to harm me or my family. It's unreasonable to require me to trust the intruder's good faith. These things aren't exactly negotiated in advance.
I really don't get how you inferred all that from what I said. A social safety net and better education programs are better for everyone, including the people in whatever country happens to be implementing those programs and policies.

The issue with media bias is another matter entirely and is unrelated to what I was saying but I recommend you stop viewing everything with a conspiratorial lens. It is not helpful for having a productive discussion.

I mean, sure, it would be a cool bit of tech but where does it fit? I go through phases with my kindle, but somehow even after obtaining one, I've ended up with even more hardcover books in my house than I had before and it's getting ridiculous (Seriously, there are stacks of books everywhere I can see at the moment, I have maybe 800+ hardbacks around the house...).

I don't really use my Oasis.. A colour one wouldn't add to my reading experience really (I like old, heavy, 'foosty' books..) and no matter how I try, even reading entertainment fiction on a e-reader just isn't the same.. I am a fan of these devices though, don't get me wrong...

For anyone curious, NASA released a RFI (request for information) back in August, and the responses were due at the start of October. Probably going to be entering RFP phase soon I guess.

The RFI (PDF - https://sam.gov/api/prod/opps/v3/opportunities/resources/fil...) contains NASA's initial reference guidance on performance capabilities.

In terms of how it compares with the Apollo lunar buggy...

* NASA would like the vehicles to last ~10 years on the moon, around the South pole - the same vehicles are being re-used through different missions

* NASA would like the vehicles to have some degree of autonomous or remote control functionality for use between manned missions

* NASA anticipates the vehicle being able to survive in harsher environments (specifically south pole lunar nights). It also needs to be able to operate within permanently shaped regions

* NASA has identified that meeting the Apollo era speed and "cross-country" mobility is sufficient

* NASA wants ~20km of range per 8 hour mission per 24 hour period

I think the 10 year life span and its autonomous/remote control mode is the most interesting requirement. From my perspective, it certainly looks like at least some degree of confidence crossing over from the success of the Mars rover programs.
