SPARKS Piracy Busts: Facts, Rumors and Fear Point to Something Huge
Having been in that position, I can genuinely say I would rather be a Russian serf, absolutely illiterate and uneducated, knowing nothing at all about how destitute my conditions are, than being in the position I am today (or especially in the position I once was).

That reminds me of a major example of noblesse oblige: the emancipation of all serfs by Alexander II. Many went on to own and operate factories, and improve their material circumstances greatly (before Stalin destroyed it all) -- but some did not. And those that did not were likely spiritually worse-off being factory-hands working directly for a petit bourgeoise.

Whether or not this event was good or bad is subjective to one's personal values.

Sorry; not getting into flame wars about the unknowable details of an unrelated topic. It’s an epistemological black hole. But you can find plenty of examples from your favorite brand of fringe on a book site that truly doesn’t censor, such as z-lib. And by the way, “factual and well-researched” doesn’t imply complete truth, but probably some form of legitimate interest. For instance, there have been many books written from collected personal testimony of alien abduction, perfectly factual and well-researched from the second-person perspective, but probably not the only sources one should consult in the study of exoplanetary astronomy. There is a wide range of topics where it is the other way around too, where folklore is celebrated, and candid observation is suppressed. In fact, it seems that human nature prefers this naturally, and even scientists can only maintain objectivity within a very narrow range.
The only thing that matters is mindshare and if the opinion is positive or negative.

Your experience couldn't differ more from mine. I wonder, do you think there are bad parts of Java that if you bought into them you would hate Java and your time with it for?

To me, each of your examples of brokenness is completely outside the day-to-day which I work in (and honestly my comprehension vis a vis why you would use them), so I can't speak too much to them, but as someone who has gone from untyped JS (obviously) to strictly typing each key of each property in my program, I am finding it pretty funny to see you conclude

> TypeScript is actually so bad that it might have honestly made JavaScript worse

I couldn't disagree more. The quality of the programming, the ability to share the mental model more easily with others, the developer experience of autocomplete and declaration files; each of these things is an order of magnitude improved, and the emergent efficiency of individuals and teams follows suit.
Not OP, but if it's a full-on growth startup, one advice from a YC video is 50/50. Because the majority of the company building is still ahead of you (think 10 year timeline). And you want a true cofounder to have full skin in the game. This varies on the situation of course.

This is mostly true in the US. There is, and has always been for the last century, a population of city dwellers who don’t care to ever own a house. But outside of the cities in the suburbs and rural areas owning your own home is seen as the thing that makes you an established member of a community.
> The same is true for Java arrays.

This is an unfortunate relic of pre-1.5 Java. The rest of the Collection API types correctly. A type-safe generic alternative is Arrays::setAll.

> if you try to modify a `List` or similar collection, it may throw an `UnsupportedOperationException`

Again, an historical artifact. `List` is from Java 1.2, you would effectively have to deprecate List<T> for that to work.

> By its very nature, giving laborers inflation-matching pay raises counters the explicit, intended policy effect of using inflation to increase employment.

Suppose we print a bunch of new money and hand it out to everybody. Now people have money in their pockets and want to spend it, so demand goes up, so prices go up, and we get inflation.

But most goods and services have elastic supply. We can make more of most things given higher demand. So companies make more of stuff and have to hire more people to do it; unemployment goes down. Hiring people is supply and demand again. Demand goes up, wages go up.

Then, if you stop printing money, the demand (in real dollars) goes back to the original level once prices and wages have both increased. If you continue to do so (i.e. a constant rate of inflation), the extra demand is sustained by the continuous infusion of money.

Now suppose you do the same thing, but instead of giving the new money to individuals, you give it to the rich, or to borrowers in the form of low interest rates. They use it to bid up housing prices. Then people have to work more to afford the same house or apartment, which lowers unemployment. This is obviously bad and screws the poor.

The most important thing is who gets the new money. It needs to go to individuals, not borrowers, not institutions.
I had a P4 (~1.6GHz) at one point and I remember DVD playback even on that system was a bit flaky. Like it was mostly good but would hitch for a second or two every fifteen minutes. Just often enough to make it pretty annoying for trying to actually watch a full movie.
The ideal solution is to use modules/classes and parameters names to contextualize, eg:

Windows.find_kit_root(key)

And is even better if your language supports pattern match on the parameters like elixir, so you can "overload" the function with many types of arguments, eg:

Windows.find_kit_root(%User{key: key})

Windows.find_kit_root(%Admin{key: key})

Providing different behaviors to the same function name

RKI status report for last week[1], translated via Google:

> The rising trend of 7-day incidences observed since the end of September 2021 has in the last weeks significantly accelerated. The current number of cases is already higher than all so far at the peaks of the previous waves of disease. This high Infection pressure in the population increasingly affects vulnerable groups as well as especially vulnerable people in the older age groups. This also leads to a significant increase in Severe disease courses and deaths and the occurrence of vaccination are more likely to rupture.

Sounds a lot like "skyrocketing" to me.

SF has done something, heavy rent controls. It’s far from nothing and it also exacerbates the housing crisis.

Mostly short term solutions from an empathic, reactionary, and transient voting bloc that does not stay long enough to experience any consequence of their actions.
There are two causes at work here:

1. Build great transportation infrastructure so it is easy to get to work from outlying suburbs. That takes the pressure off on the need to buy centrally. This doesn't have to be (and probably shouldn't be) just freeways, it could be subways and urban rail.

2. Build very dense housing so people can live near their jobs, thus not needed as much infrastructure.

The best cities (e.g. Tokyo) do both.

> The F-35 wasn't intended to do everything.

Yes it was... and Congress decided to tell the military what it needed instead of the other way around - hence the "jack of all trades, master of none" that is the F-35.

The F-16 is considered an air superiority fighter[1], although it is used in multi-role missions as well.

It's fly-away cost in 1998 was around $18.8MM[1], which is about $31.9MM today... or less than half the cost of each F-35.

Congress forced the idea of the F-35 onto the military as a low cost modern do-it-all aircraft. Then the Marines drove a huge part of the F-35 development, which ended up requiring VTOL/STOL capabilities etc, things no other branch wanted or needed and where subsequently ripped out of their variants anyway.

The final result are three different airframes that look similar, but don't share many parts, and don't outmatch the incumbent plane in each category (A-10 for CAS, AV-8B for VTOL/CAS, F-16/F-15/F-18/F-22 for AS and multirole, and probably a few others I'm leaving out).

So... why continue with the F-35? Sunk cost fallacy, mostly. It would be far better to take the lessons learned from this bleeding-edge program and apply them to new, purpose-built aircraft that each branch actually wants and needs.

2008 showed us where this road goes. The wealthy are the tiniest sliver of the group of people whose lives will be ruined. If anything, when the dust settles the truly wealthy (those whose wealth isn't riding on leverage) will end up even wealthier because they'll be sitting on capital that they can use to buy up even more assets at fire sale rates.

> I want children getting the best education that they can get.

Again, the funding is not unlimited. We're sacrificing some less than average students' learning for the sake of the small minority of above average students.

> Let's also mention that education is one of the best ways to climb the socioeconomic ladder.

Currently, that is true. But, does it have to be true? Should the only way to leave poverty be an above average education? There used to be plenty of blue collar jobs that paid a comfortable middle class wage, now there's not. You know the guy that started KFC? Did he go to college? No, he dropped out in the 7th grade. You used to be able to work hard and be successful.

This is the most important question to answer honestly:

Are you really ready to stop doing the things you’re hiring this person to do?

If not, that’s fine. It’s your money and your time after all, but you’ll just end up burning through assistant after assistant and wondering why it’s so hard to find good people.
you're talking apples and kumquats. changing the name of the file (metadata in and of itself) does not affect the file at all. changing the contents of the file will have affects on the file. some changes might not negatively affect the file (like adding metadata when none was present) if the format allows for it. you can know the file will no longer be the same by running a hash on it. name changes will not affect the hash.

also, changing the name of a file is not like, uncommon. if it is an image sequence, some people prefer an underscore before the frame number, some prefer a dot, and some even prefer a space. some places have strict file naming policies, and file names will be modified to comply.

anyone depending on crucial information to be preserved in a filename is just a Sisyphean effort of control.
The pushback from many whenever it’s suggested that the US should undergo a general trend to bring back manufacturing jobs to America always fascinates me. I always wonder what’s going through their heads when they prefer that things continue to be made on the other side of the world in a sweatshop paying their workers cents on the dollar to make cheap, soulless, throwaway goods in countries with terrible environmental laws, where they’ll then be shipped using a ton of fuel to get those goods across the world to us.

Whatever happened to taking pride in what we make and buy? Quality over quantity? Paying more for something better? Looking out for your neighbors and community by supporting their gainful employment? Independence from countries that literally hate us?

It wasn’t long ago at all that we were making most of the stuff we bought. It’s time to go back to that. Call out every company you see that doesn’t make their products in the USA and ask when they’re going to stop selling out their own neighbors just for a buck.

John Deere Reports $6B Profit After Fighting Workers over Meager Wages
Well, no shit, Sherlock!!

Everybody who has been renting or has been buying a home in the last 10 years knows this...

All the cash that's been "pumped into the economy" has only fueled inequalities. It's gone in the pockets of those who were already wealthy enough to secure a loan. And yes, they did buy houses, and bitcoins, and stocks. Oh and then that caused the prices to go up, so whoever forgot to invest started doing it, pumping the early birds' wealth up, allowing them to borrow even more. The whole economical landscape is bubbles everywhere.

And now the FED can't really reverse it. If you start raising rates, and stopping QE, you're not actually getting the money back from the people you gave it to, you'll just get a lot of businesses to close.

We need to erode all that capital concentration, and the only way to do it without hurting the regular guy is through heavy taxation.
I don't think "public housing in the USA" and "public housing in Singapore" are the same thing at all. The former was rent subsidized or even free housing given to the poor. The latter is probably subsidized socially, but is aimed at the middle class and involves letting people "buy housing" from the government, they aren't slums that are given away.

The only thing that Americans might hate about it is that they are universally 30 story concrete apartment buildings that Singapore is selling to its citizens at affordable costs. If you want detached, that is the private market and will cost a lot.

Being capable of doesn't make it the primary role. Yes the F-22 can drop a few bombs... but that's the problem.. a few. It doesn't have the load capabilities or external pylons (without compromising it's stealth entirely) to carry significant munitions or preferred role-specific munitions to be really effective in CAS or ground attack. Nor is it's cannon a comparable replacement for the GAU-8.

I personally think that the 'smart home' is a very good concept and has great potential - and can bring benefits even today. This is specially true if you are not neurotypical or have any issues (like forgetfulness). I often forget to do thinks like turn off the coffee machine. My automation ensures that this is done(either by timer, or when I leave the house), that the security system arms when I'm off the house, proper lights are turned on and off, that the robo vacuum won't start until my 3d printer is done printing (it will also turn it off), will turn on air filters when the air quality drops, etc.

That said, the state of the industry is ridiculous. Wifi is extremely convenient and the way to go (IMHO) for the vast majority of devices. It's not well suited for some battery powered sensors due to power constraints - Zigbee works, so does Bluetooth LE. Or everything could just use Bluetooth for all I care. But those protocols are not the problem (despite the industry trying to push CHIP or whatever the new name is).

No, the problem is the software. The insistence on doing stuff in the Cloud when there's no reason to do so. All the incompatible protocols and setup hoops one have to jump. All the political and monetary bickering that causes companies to deprecate 'integrations' or otherwise break functions.

Look, most devices are a combination of switches (usually on and off, a freaking bit!), some numeric values coming from sensors. Maybe strings for good UX. That is it. How many different ways of flipping bits do we need? How complicated do we really have to make retrieving a device status or a temperature value?

I just need to be able to read some simple values and flip some bits back in response - using an encrypted channel. That's it. IF one wants to do this over the Cloud to control stuff remotely, fine. Every single device with software from unknown provenance wanting to phone home - and then forcing me to try to get different clouds to talk to one another?! No thank you.
> I thought aviation is THE industry that runs on procedures and checklists

It is, but people sometimes get complacent and/or cocky and "dog" a checklist (run through each item without actually doing it). Incredibly dangerous, inexcusable behavior. I can think of two recent fatal accidents just off the top of my head that were missed takeoff items. I've personally seen pilots say flaps twenty out loud and then go right to the next item without even looking up. Meanwhile I'm looking right at the flap lever and it's set to zero. Don't get me wrong, I get it - when something goes right 1,000 times in a row, it can be hard to get your brain to really, truly understand that the success of this takeoff has absolutely no connection to any of the previous takeoffs. But overcoming that is part of the job.
I found my personal assistant on Craigslist. Very happy I found her. I put up a simple posting, ‘computer programmer seeking personal assistant’. Turns out she was tired of being an au pair and decided this would be a better fit. It’s really life changing. I highly recommend it. She pays my bills, responds to emails, cleans up the apartment, walks my dog, manages grocery shopping and occasionally cooks, etc. It’s not that different from what I imagine having a stay-at-home wife was like in the 1950s, except she leaves every evening.
