Yeah, that's one of the main issues with ASTs and why I think they make the same mistake as text editors ultimately - designing around a particular data structure just constrains you into weird UX scenarios that don't have anything to do with the actual problem of making something that lets you write code.

Well, unless it's reasonable for your own software to fail the same 20% of the time (well, more, but knowing how much more requires more information) when outside of working hours, you will always need a shim anyway.
Apple devices support the Name Constraint extension just fine. I've deployed a bunch of internal CA's with Name Constraint and Apple's macOS/iOS/iPadOS block certs that are signed for anything outside of the constraints. As is intended.

Not entirely. If you think about it, a resulting C binary is just data and text - it’s all compiled into a single unit of globals and functions, much like a unity build layout. Regarding optimization it allows for LTO without the need for a link time optimizer. Regarding convenience, it spares one from function prototypes and using Make or CMake. Should one use Make to speed up build times it’s as simple as tossing the unity code you’re not working on into a precompiled header; this primes the compiler for a quick compilation of the newly written code. As for design, I find unity builds resemble the design mind of a mechanical, civil, or electrical engineer - a single assembly (main.c) incorporates sub assemblies (*.c) like a CAD designer would design SolidWorks parts for a vehicle or spacecraft

The most salient example I can think of is tracking all subclasses of a class. This is how django tracks `Model` subclasses to create a table for each model, for instance. I wrote a blog post on this topic: https://tybug.github.io/2021/11/06/tracking-all-subclasses-o...

I've also used metaclasses in the past to apply a decorator to certain methods of all subclasses, without needing to specify that decorator in the subclass declaration itself.

Sequence numbers don't scale to distributed databases and distributed data creation though.

"Handful" is wrong. Any major system will start to run into this as soon as you start saying the word "scale" in design meetings.

UUIDs can also provide room for encoding other information, like the type of the object, where it was created, etc, since MAC address is often integrated in the UUID.

>Only if you're constantly swapping in and out of swap.

Which, in the experience I just gave, is what's happening. System memory at some high 90s percent utilization, swap usage creeping up, kswapd with a ton of CPU usage, and worst of all, UI chugging. If it wasn't 'actual' memory usage, why does dropping caches, instantly freeing up some amount of memory, restore responsiveness?

I've tried operating swapless before, but that just means OOM killer kicks in even when there's cache to evict. That seems like a priority inversion to me - of anything paged in, shouldn't cache have the absolute lowest priority, and be the first thing to go when memory's needed for other things?

> Slate, layers of fossilized leaves, has a rough surface and frost and the weather in general will work on it and split the layers apart, seeds will find enough purchase to germinate (the handy supply of water certainly helps) and lichen and moss just love to grow on slate.

25 years ago, when I saw some roofers working to replace an old slate roof on a church outside Philadelphia with asphalt (I was horrified), I asked them why they were taking this (to me) horrible step, since my parents live and stay in homes in the UK with slate roofs that are between 300 and 500 years old.

The roofers laughed and said "yeah, that's probably welsh slate. The stuff here in PA is so much worse than that. Freeze-thaw will destroy it in 20-40 years"

So the observations you're making about slate are true but only for specific slate quarries. There are slate sources that can provide slate which could last for centuries.

The UK seems not to have much of an issue with moss & lichens causing problems with slate roofing (it grows but it isn't much of a problem).

Being born in the late 20th century and in a developed, wealthy country is are both massive advantages, even if your parents are middle-class school teachers (as mine were).

If those two facts constitute "significant advantages", then the obvious answer is "none of them", but that doesn't seem a productive place to draw the line.
Finding this person at random in an area of 100s of millions of people, and recognizing him 10 years later from a photo where his face is totally blurred?

My guess is they are protecting an informant.
My parents house in Lincolnshire England was built in the early 1500s, so about 500 years old. Have no doubt it will still be there in another 500. Obviously many changes have been made over the years but the core of the house is the same.

Solid, 3ft thick, limestone walls. Lime mortar. Probably no foundations, there has been quite a bit of movement previously but none recently. In one room upstairs the floor slopes by nearly a foot from one end to the other.

As far as we know the majority of the roofing/floor timbers are original.

Limestone slate roof, this needs replacing about every 70years.

Stays cool in the summer and relatively easy to keep warm in the winter. Not efficient in the modern sense though.

The way we live changes, trying to build a house for how people will live in the future is impossible. All we can do is build something that’s maintainable, solid and hope for the best.

I think the danger is that if you aim to design something that will last 1000 years you will over engineer it and it will be difficult to maintain and modify.
> performance is mostly good enough across all languages

Performance of applications written in Python is good enough only were there is a very low requirement for fast code (e.g. glue code / shell replacement of which there is a lot and, as computers get faster, more and more) or there are native code libraries (e.g. numpy). Of the popular languages, only Ruby is slower. I have high hopes for Julia (at least in the data science / numerical computing domain) which performs much better, while preserving readability and ease of use of Python.
I think SQLAlchemy makes good use of metaclasses. It's the only thing I've seen that used them in a way that I thought made sense and was well justified (but I have been out of the Python world for a while).

In another language it would be done with code-gen, which would also be fine.

But SQLAlchemy is library code.

I took the time to understand how to use metaclasses, and concluded that I never would, especially not in code I expected another engineer to understand - I expect 90% of people who write Python haven't heard of metaclasses, and 99% have never written one.

COVID has taken a deep emotional toll on everyone. Then you factor in that the kind of people still going out to restaurants and such during the pandemic are also often the most entitled, least thoughtful segment of the population, and you get some real horror stories.

It used to be "here's a story of a shitty tip I got". Now, it's like "I had to call the cops on someone who started throwing chairs when I told him he had to weak a mask."

Healthcare is the same. Just story after story of burned out nurses having patients dying of COVID screaming in their face about it being a hoax.

I feel so sorry for anyone who's job forces them to deal with people so decoupled from reality.
> ungovernable

Interesting word choice.

Supposedly, the word "ungovernable" was used by anticolonialist/anti-imperialist factions in the '70s to describe a deliberate strategy of breaking down the "peace, order, and good government" that their imperialist counterparts offered as justification for their existence. Closely related is "no justice, no peace". However, this attribution of "ungovernable" to left-actors came to me via a right-source, so I'm not completely sure about it. If true, however, then I think you're implicitly reaching back to that era, to conjure images of South Africa and Uganda. I think the recent coinage of "Brazilianization" has a similar goal. Anyway, I would be very interested if anyone could help trace this sense of "ungovernable" to its source.

Some possible leads:

[1] https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/british-journal-of-p... and its sources, particularly

[2] King, Anthony, ‘Overload: Problems of Governing in the 1970s’, Political Studies, XXIII (1975), 284–96. ;

and

[3] https://ssc.wisc.edu/~wright/Soc924-2011/Offe%20--%20Ungover...

and its sources, particularly

[4] Fluno, Robert Y. (1971), “The Floundering Leviathan: Pluralism in an Age of Ungover-
nability.” In: Political Research Quarterly, 24/3: 560-566.

These are all "establishment" sources though; there are no real Left sources so far -- though [3] does say,

> Ungovernability is a peculiar concept. It has been used both by academic political sociologists
and by journalists and politicians; it has played a role in New Left as well as neo-conservative
discourses.

so I think it should be possible to see where it went (and came from) on the Left.

EDIT: I now also find these:

Who knows what the latter source is though.

I should say "wherever most humans live". Here in the states, businesses within city limits require masking except for last June and July. Are the many parts you are talking about the low-population outskirts that never required masking? That's true I guess and they add up to a lot of people and businesses but not compared to where most of the population lives.
Anaolgies are deceptive. They don't prove anything but they lead you to perceive something to be more real even though no argument was made for proof.

So houses are made from shoddy workmanship. Software is also made with shoddy workmanship. How does this analogy prove that software engineering is not the easiest engineering field out there?

I would argue that it proves software engineering IS the easiest engineering field out there because you can get away with this shoddy workmanship. In fact the engineering process of software engineering are centered around shoddy workmanship and throwing in and developing features without any sort of plan. See agile for more info on this process.
And the (mostly) help set a social Norm for behavior
Many (not all) cyclists seem to think that they are exempt from traffic laws just because they're not in a car.

Running through stop signs, red lights, not yielding the right of way, weaving back and forth across the shoulder into the lane, and most importantly a general lack of awareness that they're sharing the road with 1-ton hunks of metal flying by them at speed.

I've lost count of the number of close calls where I've had to slam the brakes and lay on the horn because some idiot on a bike wanted to play a game of gotcha with Isaac Newton.

I don't have any data to back it up but I'd be willing to bet that the people on bikes who do these kind of things are just as unaware and careless when they're operating a motor vehicle.
This is all true (although not all old houses are poorly insulated -- the ~60 cm of thatch and wattle and daub construction also is surprisingly good at insulation. It even comes complete with Tudor-era built in biomass heating!).

I think a lot of the bad press that goes on about new builds in the UK at least at the moment are due to "chicken coop Barrett Homes", i.e. a large developer building the largest number of houses possible with the cheapest construction method. There are horror stories in the tabloid press of people buying houses from ~2000 that are starting to have major structural problems, or have other major flaws. The rooms are meaner in size and there is a lot of resentment about developers making ~£300k profit on each property (and building ~200 of them at a go).

Obviously, there's a massive selection / survival bias here. Bad homes are more likely to be demolished. Good homes are more likely to survive.
If there are true public goods that people need to be able transverse their country, then the state should directly provide them, or subsidize private parties to provide them in exchange for the private party entering into a covenant binding them to provide some level of public service.

Using the monopoly excuse to categorize broad swathes of private interactions as being within the domain of public institutions (so-called 'public accommodations') is disingenuous, and just a way to get the imposition of a particular set of ideological values on people, by force, through the backdoor.

>>couldn't buy a house

If people don't want to sell their house to black people, they shouldn't be forced to. Our subjective belief in our moral superiority over someone doesn't grant us a right to use force against them.

>>It's not like 1950s southerners all just happened to be racist because, free of any cultural influence, they all individually rationally decided that was the best way to be.

When the pro-segregationist ideocracy was repealed in Northern States, and the prohibition on mixed establishments was repealed, it gradually led to private establishments de-segregating, to increase business.

Many southern politicians were afraid of the abolition of legally mandated segregation for exactly the same reason.

In any case, force is not a justifiable method to change people's attitudes on who they privately associate with.
It could also simply be time. To me this is obviously a small study that should be followed up (quickly) with a double blind, randomized trial. Until then, I'd be hesitant to put a bunch of ppl on anticoagulants.
I can only think of lame examples I'm sorry but there is this silly trend where careful expert design is replaced with letting the end user decide. To me this is just a sign of incompetence. The expert needs to carefully craft into the product what the user wants but only after careful examination. The lame examples would be to let the driver design the car, the passenger the aircraft or the patient the surgery room etc

The story as told above on how production moved to cheap labor countries, jobs were lost as well as purchase power has a weird continuation where the decline of purchase power scales down production and makes life harder for the cheap laborer therefore more fragile. We shift from [the absurd] putting the consumer in charge of the economic decisions to having the "choices" made by (or more like making the results depend on-) people all the way at the bottom of the food chain. We are pretty much left collectively hoping that they can keep up with our unreasonably demanding demands.

I'm not even complaining that we are squeezing people to hard. I have issues with a system that can just abruptly stop - entirely! Sure, I want cheaper products but I have no idea what kind of risks we are taking. I should not be the one to decide. I would rather have a large group of highly trained professionals calculate the risks and present them in a way we might understand. Make me a map of the [proverbial] meteor strikes and the global economic consequences. What parts of the show can go on if ingredient X is taken out of the soup?

I'm not a OneBag purist (and, in fact, always have a fairly full carryon backpack and a small shoulder bag). But I don't much care for rollaboards in part because I don't like them myself and partly because they're a big cause of overfull carryon compartments.

I can live with those restrictions fine for city travel, though they're a pain. The bigger annoyance is that there's a decent chance I'll get a hiking pole confiscated. (They're theoretically not allowed.)
> Overlogging is almost never a real problem in my experience

I would disagree, after managing a 100 node ELK monstrosity to try to process the terabytes of logs generated by our systems.

Overlogging is not a problem if log levels can be easily changed (preferably without an app restart). One app logging like crazy is not a problem. A thousand of microservices, is.
1. Afford is a weird concept when you can go to a multi billion dollar company without ever making a profit with VC investment. A lot of tech jobs are in businesses that may not be able to make money.

You just set up a two way sync.

One folder- a Notes folder where all your "vault"s are- on your phone. That syncs with a folder on the cloud. Then get the sync app client on your laptop/PC. Then sync a local folder from your laptop with the cloud folder.

The Obsidian for desktop app is pretty great.

The whole thing works great for me.

So it's like this-

_______ _________________ ________
|phone |---------------> |cloud |<--------------------- |laptop|
|notes | (2 way sync) |folder of | (2 way sync) |notes |
|folder|<-------------- |MEGA/DB/box/sync|---------------------> |folder|
------- ------------------ --------

This method is tried and platform agnostic. All you need is a client that is available for your platform.
