Very good to know! I had been mulling an app company that did privacy centric paid variations on popular free* apps, but it depended on being able to market them as being ad and surveillance free.

However, if this policy precludes that, it does seem a bit anti-competitive.

The right (and the left to an only _slightly_ less degree) represent the elite in this country. The elite use the right and the left for several purposes.

The right exist to cut their taxes, extract subsidies, maintain global military dominance, and control the population. They use jingoism, religious zeal, and race/gender wedge issues to form their voting bloc. Elites have an ironclad hold over the hierarchical Republican party. <-- this is where the support of the police comes in.

The left exist to maintain the illusion of a functioning free democracy, to enact necessary reforms as tolerated by the right, to extract subsidies, to impose market entry barrier regulation, and to keep the economy upright. Elites have a strong control over the Democratic party, and tolerate their lack of control over the rest of it for the "illusion of a functioning free democracy" reasons, etc.

This is the reason that the elections are so close. Elites control the elections with campaign finance, and will only pay the exhorbitant costs of elections to the degree that they can maintain control: ideally with a president + 1 of the congressional halls (they own the supreme court already), but if they don't have the president they want, they have enough flunkies on the democratic "center" to maintain status quo until they have full control, and get what they need passed.

The elites only pay for 51% victories. So all the elections are 50% +/- one point.

I abhor calling these people "elites", it is a term of political science and economics, from two areas of study completely beholden to sucking the teats of the rich for status and approval.

> It's not totally clear to be what you mean by "mixed results" (have we solved every problem in radiology? probably not)

To expand a bit as maybe not clear from my other reply (can't edit). Not only have we not solved every problem in radiology, we haven't really knocked a single one out of the park.

By mixed results, I mean that the practical, i.e. clinical impact of these approaches has been pretty small, and this is likely to continue to be true for foreseeable future To be fair, there are lots of non-technical and cultural issues behind this - not just failure to generalize.

I write songs too, and this is often how it works for me.

Songwriting is like any other kind of creative work. You come up with an idea, put it into some concrete form. That first recording. If it's shite, give it a minute and then come back to it with fresh ears and think about what you like about it and what you don't like. Take away the parts you don't like. Maybe you can think of something else that works with what you already like. Work that in. Evaluate. Rinse, repeat.

Sometimes you just have to abandon stuff that isn't working and move on to something completely different. That's OK too. Just keep doing it and your output will get better and better.

Even though it can be fun, in order to do it well you have to work on it. Your tenth song is going to be better than your first song, and your hundredth song is going to be better yet.

The only reason why we were able to live the car oriented lifestyle we have is because we decided to subsidize and build roads for mass market cars.

Yes, I especially balked at this part:

That is a fact about Google's awareness of the bug, or their ability to be ignorant of it, not a fact about its actually frequency of occurrence.

I'm pretty sure this isn't the only time it's happened. It's the only time someone forced them to notice.

If you pipe objects around between cmdlets, PowerShell will auto-bind object properties to cmdlet parameters. Which feels like the magic of the Unix pipe text streams everywhere but lets you skip several text parsers (no grep/awk/sed intermediates perhaps) and feels like even more magic when it just works: `Get-Process -Filter something | Stop-Process`. The blog post gets into some of the details of how it works and that it isn't just magic and that in PowerShell you can even inspect with tools like Get-Help to discover how it is doing it and use that to your advantage to automate complex tasks with very simple command lines.
A few year back, an intern on my team was tasked with updating all the instances where we used a certain type of builder function with a replacement that we had written and wanted to encourage our users to use by example. My boss highly encouraged him to write a script to do that task rather than doing it manually, with the argument that even if wasn't any faster overall, it would make the task much less boring that it otherwise would be. That moment stuck with me a lot; a lot of times, we're highly encouraged to be as efficient as possible rather than doing things a way that might be a bit faster but is much more frustrating or boring, and yet we also have a systemic problem of burnout in our industry. Personally, as long as the end result will be the same, I find doing things in a way that will keep me engaged and energetic increases my productivity in the long run, as making the mundane tasks a bit more fun even at the cost of making them take a bit longer will end up making me much more ready to deal with the harder tasks with a mindset that will end up winning back the time lost and then some. (Note that I'm _not_ necessarily talking about something like using a library or framework that could bloat or slow down the final product, since the "end result" is not the same in that case, in which case the difference in the end result needs to be weighed against the potential benefits)

Blending Modes in Map Making
Hm - I've read all three books and even tried working the exercises... I can't say I'd recommend TAOCP to somebody who's looking for a book on the fundamentals of CS. The books are fascinating, don't get me wrong, and I recommend every programmer read them, but they go way too deep into minutiae, while simultaneously ignoring other important topics to be useful as an introduction.
I feel like I got the "best of both worlds" here.

My home was built in the 1970s, at the same time as most of the others in the neighborhood. There was a fire that gutted about half of the home in ~2008, and as a result the entire electrical system, internal plumbing, insulation, and most of the windows were replaced.

Because of this the home was priced like others from the 70s, but I'm very confident that I won't have any major and unexpected structural, electrical, or plumbing issues in the near future.

The only real downsides are that there isn't a basement (I have a dirt crawlspace, with a ~10x10 area dug out enough to stand up for the water heaters and such), and I own one of the few homes inside city limits with a septic tank.

City code prevents me from making major repairs on the septic system, so within the next few years I'll need to connect the home to the sewer. That's going to cost between ~$500 (if I do the work myself, which will probably take about a week of full-time, dirty work) and ~$10k (if I just pay someone to do it all). I'll likely end up hiring someone to dig the trench needed in the front yard and in the crawlspace but do the rest myself.

Is the book really good, or just worth a read?

I've recently seen the TV series and I liked some of its scifi ideas, but wonder if the bad parts are down to the original material or Apple's writing. Is it much influenced by the past's societal norms, or visionary enough to foresee at least the now?

Caveat: it's worth spending more time automating a task than actually doing it if the task is tedious enough.
Thank you for writing this, I could've written this word for word.

I also strongly resonate with the sentiment this is the golden age for optimists, it has always been a key for innovation and vitality, but in today's world it it a superpower. It is tricky though, and requires one to sidestep the culture in a way that can't be taught.
Not true, they did have a real battery swap station just off i-5 (between SF and LA) near Kettleman City. I don't think many people used it, however.
> My own theory is that the root cause is decades of wide-spread awareness of global warming.

Back when I were a kid people were afraid of nuclear winter, or getting fried by UV radiation because of aerosols, or 10 billion people in 2010. The sense of impending doom is hardly a new thing.
Most of what you mention is exactly what the interview process should reveal: when they demonstrate what they care about, pay attention.

Obedience is the only ability they care about.

If any interview process involved a personality or IQ test I would laugh in their face.
I'm not qualified to have an expert opinion on this, but I have wondered how much good it has done to have the modern measurements.

I can write a new application or website and get real time data from my users on how 'good' it is. So I start to steer my creation to make that goodness a bigger number. Instead of what my vision was.

> If you don’t believe me you can look up the per capita energy consumption per American and observe that it is basically stagnant since 1970

I think the more likely explanation for that is optimization. Look at cars as an example. In the first half of the century, we built cars without much of a focus on fuel economy. As we scaled up the amount of cars we produced and in turn, the oil resources we consumed, we began to optimize the efficiency of these cars. Compare a car from 1970 and 2020, and you see a much more reliable, efficient, safe, comfortable car. So the per capita consumption has been reduced by using less gas and also having to replace the cars less often while providing a better quality of life.

There are similar stories across every industry.

So I don't see how looking at our per-capita energy-use as a major contributor in this discussion. That's not to say energy prices have had no effect, but I could make the opposite argument that energy prices have forced us to innovate past burning things we find in the ground.

As far as renewables go, I'm not an expert in this space, but it seems like we have the technology and resources to implement a reliable green energy grid. We just don't have the political will to do so.

If we had the political cohesion to muster up an equivalent to the Interstate Highway System project, but for energy generation/transmission, it would propel us into a new era.

Are there any editors that let you edit code in a structure closer to the way the language handles it (e.g. graphs/stacks)?

You could achieve a lot more than the conventional file-per-module approach. Off the top of my head benefits could include: much easier refactoring, comments bound to specific tokens, function level versioning, much smarter git diffs, and so much more.

The mapping graphs to flat-files thing feels especially silly when I do FE dev. Manipulating JSX doms on top of the JS function stack is a constant reminder of how the flattening step feels unnecessary.

Daniel, one of my colleague devs at Deepstash who worked with me on the project, initially came up with the idea while ordering a pizza and feeling the need of a 'just order something' button. We have this deal within the company where we can use part of our time to build what we want which also seems cool to the chiefs. We decided to use ours to come up with Bookstash, which they loved. More people were involved in this, among which Ciprian, Ovidiu, Sabin, Adriana.
We realized that those 2-3 minutes we have during coffee or when waiting for our commute usually get wasted away. So for those time gaps when you've got nothing to do, you can just go on Bookstash and quickly go through a new book.

Automation is not only about time saving. Humans just can't be trusted to perform boring, repeating tasks reliably. Familiarity can lead to all sorts of issues, especially with mental fatigue built up over time.

A computer does not have curse of knowledge, and is much less likely to change its behavior (forget to execute a line of code, or run a command it was not instructed to do) in the long run.

Automation becomes a type of documentation for certain tasks. Sure, a real, human-intended document might be better, but this script contains even more details about the process and might even be able to do some of the steps for you!
Lots of good stuff in this thread already, so I'll just add a thought or two. A lot of commentators here have picked up that what you need is roughly the equivalent of a "Data Structures & Algorithms" course. I agree with that sentiment. Whether you actually take a course, or work through some books, or whatever, so long as you acquire that knowledge you'll have a great foundation.

The question then is "what next?" To which I would say that you want roughly the equivalent of a course titled something like "Introduction to Computation" or "Automata Theory & Computation" or whatever. That is, you'll want to understand things like Universal Turing Machines, Finite-State Automata, Formal Grammars, and some basics of Computational Complexity Theory (the same "Big O" stuff you'll hear mentioned in the Data Structures & Algorithms class, but going a little bit deeper). This stuff isn't necessarily required to do a lot of "grunt work" programming, but it starts coming into play if you want to do some more advanced stuff.

One of the classic texts in this area is by Hopcroft & Ullman.

And on a semi-related note, there's a really good course on Youtube: MIT 6.042J Mathematics for Computer Science, taught by Tom Leighton[1], that you might find useful as well. A version of the book[2] used in that course is freely available online as well
