Well, at some point people have to trust someone other than themselves to tell them how complicated things work because there is just too much complexity and layering of knowledge in our modern world for one person to be an expert in everything.

So, I have accepted this natural propaganda as you call it because it seemed to be said by lots of people who were experts, I mean it's not just like I heard it from Milton Friedman and went with that. It's a pretty wide range of people I've heard this from. If it is a propaganda campaign it is a wide ranging one with lots of people involved some of whom you would think would have had the clout to make different arguments but didn't. In the many times I've encountered the argument there tends to be statistics and graphs involved, sure, not in my specialty but at any rate things looked reasonable on the surface and so over the years I accepted an argument that did not necessarily follow common sense when first encountered.

Your argument against it sounds totally reasonable and sensible. But you do not bring any evidence to bear, just your argument. Admittedly the argument is based on logic, but sometimes the things that seem logically sound can be shown to not work because of some deeper underlying logic to it. Is this your own idea, or did you encounter it somewhere and think that sounds much more reasonable than the other stuff I've been told? If so can you give me a guide to where I can read about the idea myself. What leads you to call the opposing argument propaganda, is there any research you can point to about this?
I know, it is difficult for many people to think beyond ingrained feminist prejudices.
> People love ebikes not because of barely having to pedal, but because they can reach places with the bicycles that are out of their reach with a regular bike. It can be long weekend rides for some, but it can also be living/working on a hill.

Yes! That's what drove me towards the ebike. I live on top of a 10% slope and using a regular bike was simply impossible (for me). Having an ebike changed my life completely. I now never use my motorbike anymore (at all) and the car, extremely rarely.
It doesn't matter. It's the same question as whether abolishing due process or the jury system or making encryption illegal would reduce crime. We don't mandate medical procedures because it violates bodily autonomy. Heard of the Nuremberg Code? We don't simply look at effects to decide what to do; there are also important principles at stake.

What are ‘ghost flights’ and why are they causing so much uproar
TC isn't everything. I'm pulling truly bonkers TC at 26, and yet I feel a deep void inside me.

I recently realized that this void is because I am not living by my ideals/purpose. I know what I want to do in life, I know how I want to contribute to the story of humanity, and yet I am letting my greed overrule me and force me into a different path. Essentially, I am betraying myself, and this causes that feeling of unfulfillment/void.

I suspect I am not the only FAANG/unicorn/quant engineer that feels this way. Don't get me wrong, I greatly enjoy the day to day technical work I do. But my day job does not help me work towards what I have defined as my existential purpose.

Recently I decided I will change this, whether through volunteering or a new job (even if it might pay less.) I'm more excited than I have been in months. I will die happy if I can positively impact humanity towards the direction I hope for it to go towards.
Doesn't the word dies connote exactly two dies? Then with three or more it becomes dice.
In plenty places (i.e. the EU), assist-bikes are also a different legal category from ones that are purely electric, with no drive-train from the pedals.
I don't know enough to comment about WordPress. But a secure applications don't need a WAF to be secure. WAFs in the steady-state are really just fuzzy bug injectors that hope to inject bugs over top of exploitable code.

The main use for WAFs that I consider valid is emergency response to recently discovered vulnerabilities while a patch is being discovered and applied.

The other use case is external rate limiting and DoS protection. But most often it is better to do that in the app anyways.

If the pellicle has the type of bacteria or mold on it that would prevent you from eating it, you should also generally not eat the rest of the meat. Not all mold can be told apart by appearance, so please do not take this comment as gospel on what is a "safe" mold, but the general consensus is that white mold is usually OK. In this case, I would not reuse the parts that were moldy, however.

I have a dedicated dry aging setup that I truss my subprimals up in, and then it recirculates air, including through a UVC light. I've never had any mold form, even on 120+ day dry ages. I haven't gone much higher than 120 days, though - I enjoy 240 day dry ages, but not in large quantities, and I also lack the patience, so you might see more going to that length. But in the 60 to 120 day range, however, I have never had mold form in any quantities large enough for me to notice.

> If you come from a Java/C background then many things are unintuitive e.g. error handling, dynamic interfaces, package/library management, whitespace parsing, style enforcement etc.

I’d argue that doesn’t make Go hard to learn, that makes Go hard to adapt to for people who are used to and like Java. Ie You’ve still learnt the language of Go even if you haven’t warmed to its idioms.

But semantics aside, your comment here beautifully illustrates my point about how generalised statements can be skewed to suit any argument. Take your last paragraph where you used the term “easy” in a multitude of ways, each carefully selected to promote your existing opinion of Go:

> Golang is easy to learn right now because it's basic like say Java 1.2. But since it likes to ignore what other languages do I wouldn't say it's an inherently easy language.

This isn’t an impartial point you’re making. It’s an opinionated one. Which is fine in itself because you’re entitled to opinions but it does demonstrate the pointlessness of arguing about generalised statements where everyone is going to infer their own context based on their own biases. Ie Bob might find language X “easy” under a different context than Sally finds it difficult. But those context are not equivalent despite the adjective they’ve used being the same.
Though I understand where you're going with "Terraform for X", as someone who gets to deal with terraform on almost daily basis to manage infrastructure this makes me instantly want to head for the hills.

Terraform is certainly useful and when it works it works. The problem is that when it doesn't, things have a tendency to go horribly wrong. The amount of hours saved by terraform are barely offset by the amount of time spent recovering broken production infrastructure or resolving state issues because it threw in the towel halfway through some operation. That's without even digging into plan and apply discrepancies.

So, declarative schema migrations, yay, and market yourself that way. But I would be careful with being "terraform for X". There's a lot of terraform trauma among people who run production systems.

It can't possibly be wrong because people thought about it for centuries? Lots of such theories are wrong.

I think it is good to point out the flaws in a short and concise way. An achievement, really. It is more difficult to be short and concise than to write long articles.
Isn’t admission for cancer relatively rare per diagnosis? (as compared to say heart attack)

I’ve learned of many cancer diagnoses in my circle of family and friends and can think of only two that had a hospital admission related to it (most were treated as outpatient procedures, including most of the surgeries).

I like the UI design in figure 1. There’s no crap in the way of the data but i don’t feel overwhelmed either. My eyes can scan across sections and it feels natural, theres no firehose effect. I like the thought that’s gone into showing the % vaccinated in the top right. I like the dashed underlines telling me that some explainatory text is available.

I think the page looks inoffensive but is clearly focussed on being informative. I wish more data repositories took care and attention towards how data is represented.

> this had me wondering if the writer actually cycles in a city or not

Yeah, the whole business of dispensing with brakes is absurd. For one, the engine (usually) only powers the rear wheel; if you use only engine braking that means you don't have a brake on the front wheel, which is the one that does most of the job! And two, sometimes you need to brake super fast and I doubt any engine can react or go into reverse fast enough for that.

Doing “nothing” in a different part of the planet is my kind of vacation. Those “spectacular” things might be there occasionally, but I don’t optimize for them.

I optimize for having a good time with people I care in places where we get know how other people live, taste what other people eat, appreciate different landscapes. I also optimize for relaxing and thinking about life, without the regular worries I have at home. Walking around to see how different cities are.

I don’t optimize for “stories to tell”, “adrenaline”, or “instagrammable moments”.

We are different people and there is nothing wrong with your view on vacations. The only issue that I see is when you try to convince your partner (I’m not sure if that’s what “missus” mean) that this a “waste of money”. “Waste” here is completely subjective. There is nothing objective about it as you seem to imply. So I would make sure that they spontaneously agree with your perspective, before trying to convince them of what is a waste of money and what’s not.
I admit I failed that question, and I understand the impulse to then challenge the way the question was constructed. In school, it's something I did regularly, partly because some of the questions were indeed weakly constructed, but also partly because I was reluctant to admit I actually misunderstood.

In this case, it's not a trick question per se, but it certainly does something to trick the mind into not enumerating the possibilities. It would be interesting to see how the majority of programmers respond to it, as compared to say the majority of mathematicians. I suspect the question tricks people into abstracting too early: 'one variable in this system is undefined, hence I can't say!'
You're very welcome. Vouching again as I have no idea why you got down voted.

I really do feel bad that your post was a vaulting point for me to rant, but I do get why a developer would want such things.

I'm not a web dev, so for me, it's just about the user experience and privacy (which as the article shows, no major browser does well out of box).

I'm not Meaning to be hostile towards web dev, but for my company's product, we try to be very transparent about breaking changes. Most software is. Linus even was specific about "don't break userspace".

Thus it's a sore spot for me that web dev bucks the trend here and the answer as to "why" is really not clear for me. Rolling update software is equally guilty here but at least you usually get patch notes...it's still bad in my opinion, but at least you get some idea what's going on.

This one (the OP) is used by the Glasgow Haskell Compiler, apparently they still use it? I remember reading it was only used in the early days but I might be confusing it with cfront.
I mostly agree, thats why I used mid sized European cities as an ideal, not London or Paris.

And, it wasn't to pick on the US - Charleston SC or Savanah GA come to mind as an very livable cities (minus the tourists). Instead US cities suffered the advent of the car more since they were newer, less established.

Finally, I agree that (mis century “progressive”) Urban planning is mostly to blame. Where I don't agree is that the skyscraper is a blameless misused tool of the urban planner. In the cities that built them, skyscrapers hurt the city.

And European “megacities” are as unlivable (unless you’re 25-35) as any American megacity. Give me Bologna over Milan any day.

If I lend you 1 ETH, I have no means to make you pay me back. Smart contracts can't do that either. A smart contract cannot seize 1 ETH from your wallet and send it back to my wallet. Blockchains are designed specifically to prevent that.

How can this be legal? (not to mention physically and mentally healthy)
I do a lot with specialized data structures for things like kNN or sparse adjacency matrices, in multiple different contexts. The fact that Go now has generics means I might actually consider it as a language, because I don't need to mess around with eg. codegen to have a maintainable base implementation.
Do you even know how generics work? Any implementation of generics should at least remove the type checks that a dynamic (interface{}) implementation has to incur.
I didn't read the article thoroughly, and parts of it I only skimmed, but I kind of get the feeling that, for some of the issues he addresses, the author's great conviction might be a bit stronger than his actual arguments or information.

For example, with regard to Mozilla's use of Cloudflare's DNS over HTTPS and their agreement regarding logging and privacy, he writes:

> Anyone who has worked with DNS servers knows what goes into such logs and in order for Cloudflare to keep their promise they need to: Delete the DNS requests information, but at the same time somehow still keep "anonymized" logs of the total number of requests, a list of all domain names requested, a so-called "sample" of complete DNS queries along with date and time.

I don't see how those are contradictory (except possibly for the last one, depending on what "complete" means). I don't know how DNS logs are stored but it should be entirely possible to first aggregate information and then get rid of the logs. Some other information might be harder to maintain an aggregate of after getting rid of the source data, but it's often more or less possible, and total counts of whatever should be trivial.

I'm not saying he's wrong; I'm just saying I get the feeling he might not have quite as strong a case for some of the many issues he brings up as his aggressive tone makes it sound.
You can totally ride a bike when it rains. Why not? Snow is different, but in many places very rare. If it's frequent where you live, you can get a bike with large tires that are optimized for this.

It's true that you can't take passengers, but I think over 95% of car rides are when there is only one person in the car (the driver).
I have had a different experience. I’ve been using WP since it was a wee bairn, and have written a number of plugins and themes, over the years.

It is not for every use case. I think some of the new static site generators are great, but WP fits the bill, when we need a fairly dynamic, configurable, maintainable, site.

The “security issues” are, IMNSHO, a reflection of the much wider “depenecapocalypse,” that is plaguing the entire software development industry, where lightly-trained, and inexperienced, devs, slap all kinds of executables into their projects, with hardly a glance at the bona fides of said executables, which, in my experience, can be … questionable.

I admit that I have created “Frankensites,” by using too many plugins (in fact, today, I am about to rewrite one, using as "bare bones" an architecture, as possible). Even good plugins can have a limited shelf life, and I have learned (the hard way) that paying for extensions and themes buys me almost nothing. I have been aghast, when examining the code, in some of these.

There’s a lot of crap WP code, out there, but I have been fairly impressed with the quality of the code and architecture of the core system.

The one thing that I think needs improvement, is the WordPress Codex. It’s a mess. I’m often better served, examining the code directly, than relying on that.

I don't do Web sites as a living. There's millions of better Web developers than me. I like to be able to walk away from a site, and let it stand on its own. WP has served me well, for that.
>There are no bugs in my code. There isn't enough of it to have bugs.

So I take it your code could handle a 1GB blog post safely without giving you an error about exceeding post_max_size or something similar?

That would be a bug.

Small code != bug free code.
Another cost is what i call “maintenance cost”. The thinking about, cleaning, repairing, recharging, moving, etc. Even a pencil. I must store it, remember where it is, take it out, clean under it, sharpen it, move it out of the way to get another thing, and finally discard it. These costs compound with each new acquisition.
Why is this a concern with generics, but not with e.g. if statements? They too can be over-used (i.e. over-nested)
Utilitarianism can be a powerful philosophy in some situations. Without a fake contract, the experiments that led to Pong wouldn't have taken place [1].

Also, if you have been in the software industry long enough, you have probably been in a situation where you had to deliver buggy or incomplete software because your customer wanted it yesterday.

Personally, I'd rather let someone know the stuff they are getting is not as good as it should be (yet) than fail to meet a deadline and permanently damage our relationship.

This is of course heavily dependent on the problem domain. The failure of a seismometer and a hypercasual puzzle game have very different consequences.

According to Sivio Gesell nobody will consider storing physical goods if the storage costs exceed the return on money which is guaranteed to be 0%. Hence it is better to have a summer sale and throw unsold inventory away because money beats goods.
A variety of things. More space is definitely harder to heat evenly, especially without airflow coming from something like a convection oven, or keeping relative humidity very high, such as in a combi/steam oven, but a lot of it is cost pressure. If you go far enough up market to Miele, Wolf, etc., you can find ovens that will keep a much more consistent temperature.
I use migra [https://databaseci.com/docs/migra] for PostgreSQL.

I only put schema.sql into git, no migration scripts.

To make changes, I update schema.sql and load it up into temporary db. Then I run migra prod_db temp_db and it spits out the SQL statements that take me from the old schema.sql (which was in production) to the new. I eyeball the statements and if they look good, I apply them to prod_db.

Is Atlas able to handle foreign key definitions with ON UPDATE RESTRICT ON DELETE RESTRICT clause? Can it handle ID columns auto generate default always? Does it allow for constraints like check(airport_code = upper(airport_code))? The screenshots show rather simple SQL stuff.

How
Figuring out how much is "enough" has been incredibly valuable to me.

It turns out I'm already quite wealthy in the categories that are important to me.

I, too, am trying to get rid of a lot of things. Not to be a minimalist or anything, but to quit feeling like I owe time to those objects and the spaces they occupy, and instead focus even more time into the things I care more about.
A thousand dollars is an achievable amount of money for a smart kid in a poor family. I have had good friends from really poor families in Europe make more from bug bounty programs. If that's you're trying imply.
It’s the other way around. The use of opaque references instead of generics means that the compiler does not have type information to make optimizations. The classic example is qsort in C vs std::sort in C++ - the generic version of the algorithm in C++ is faster because the compiler has the type information required to optimize it properly.

I guess generics does away with this.
