If you pull lots of kids from a regular class, they're also going to benefit from a narrower spread of abilities.

The more meaningful argument against this kind of fine-grained tracking is that it creates pathological incentives among teachers. Every teacher is going to want to teach the "easy" classes with more skilled kids, so the bottom level of students gets stuck with very low-quality teachers and they don't get anything near a fair chance to improve - they're basically stuck at that level.

You could fix this by training teachers better on how to actually educate slower kids effectively (direct instructional methods work very well there) but that approach is not popular either because it's seen as trivializing the teacher's job - somehow, it is a given that both students and teachers should always be left to "discover things by themselves".

Lots of comments seen to have missed that the article isn't recommending against private fields, only the private keyword.

Typescript and JavaScript have a newer brand # to make fields private. The native feature will have runtime benefits while the private keyword creates fields that's are public at runtime.

I still use the private keyword because constructor shorthand doesn't support brands.

constructor (private field)
constructor (#field) // error
I don't think so, but it is a recurring issue I've seen at several B2B startups. It makes sense if you think about it. Being B2B, customers' AP departments request detailed usage billing. Someone creates a simple endpoint to produce a PDF, and eventually PDFs get too large to handle synchronously.

The thing about Amazon is that it is massive. In my neck of the woods, I've got the complete opposite experience. So many teams have the exact DDB induced infrastructure sprawl as described by the GP (e.g. supplemental RDBMS, Elastic, caching layers, etc..).

Which says nothing of DDB. It's an god-tier tool if what you need matches what it's selling. However, I see too many teams reach for it by default without doing any actual analysis (including young me!), thus leading to the "oh shit, how will we...?" soup of ad-hoc supporting infra. Big machines look great on the promo-doc tho. So, I don't expect it to stop.

I'm afraid it's not feasible to develop a single general purpose implementation for that.

The amount of complexity to guarantee data integrity while covering all possible use cases will be just unmanageable.

I'd be extremely happy to be proven wrong, though...

The discovery problem is not only known, it's writ large. There is a vast bureaucracy of benefits available to Americans that most Americans don't know about because the creation of the programs rarely includes advertising in the budget.

If you've ever seen the "question mark vest guy" (Matthew Lesko, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Lesko), who offers book on federal programs available and how to take advantage of them... He's been criticized as a charlatan or misleading people, or encouraging people to "freeload," but here's the thing... He's really quite sincere. He believes the US government bureaucracy has failed in its duty of public information and education and is full of under-utilized programs that, as a result, become tools for the informed to siphon resources from those the programs were intended to help. He thinks that's unfair. The "Free Money Now" book covers and TV advertisements are employed because his target audience is assumed to not be savvy enough to do the research themselves, so he's trying to reach them with noise and spectacle where quiet black-and-white announcements buried in the back pages of local newspapers have already failed (and the fact that he started his work in the era where the easiest way to reach his target audience was still books because the sorts of people who didn't know about benefits programs they were eligible for were strongly correlated with lack of Internet access, not surprisingly).

It is the question, how significant it is. Then there is the question, what level of significance will make a person reconsider their consumption.

However, the statement that no amount is truly safe, if it is correct, means, that in general alcohol is an unnecessary risk. There is no need to drink it and no good for ones heart comes of it in terms of biology. What society does with this info is up to all of us.

I agree with you in that the best care that can be provided is one through genuine goodwill.

However I would argue that the vast majority of people are very selfish and do not have much more than a token amount of generosity beyond themselves or at least their immediate family.

Thus while not the ideal situation, some amount of mandatory force by society is the next best, imperfect, option I can think of.

I'm Korean, and it's been traditional in Korea for children to take care of their parents when the become old. Often times this meant multigenerational households where the elderly would live together with one of their adult children. But this too is changing, and today, quite a few of the elderly are either left alone or put into nursing homes.

I don't think "created something more popular than The Office" is a good metric to decide that Netflix only creates mediocre content. The Office is really popular! There's plenty of room for creating high quality content, even if no single show reaches the level of popularity of The Office.

Alcohol is only a problem because some people do it so much. Alot of people I know drink all the time-- like several times a week. They could look a little younger but generally have passable bills of health.

Also we have to question who's behind this statement. For all we know it's the PRC starting a new teetotalling campaign in their land.
Well, media has been recently overwhelmed by studies showcasing the benefits of weed so that the disadvantages of using it appear to be lower or none at all, but that's not really the case.

If smoked, you're smoking tar and volatile compounds that can harm the lungs, much like a regular cigarette - although you're probably not going to smoke a pack of 20 joints in a single day like the moderate-to-heavy smoker next door do.

There's also an association between weed and schizophrenia (and depression) in adults. I'm not going to say "weed causes schizophrenia" (or depression), but the correlation exists and some will argue it implies causation here. Weed is also associated with some memory problems in adults too, although they seem to wean off if you stop using it.

There are cardiovascular risks associated with THC too, since it can cause abnormal heart rhythms and elevated heart rate. And, again, it's even worse if smoked since carbon dioxide and smoke compounds are known for affecting the heart.

So, yeah, weed has benefits, plenty of them, but I wouldn't say it's necessarily "safer". Don't get me wrong, alcohol is toxic, it's broken down in the liver into Acetaldehyde, a known carcinogenic. This stuff can't be healthy. But, for weed, we have less data on how it impacts the body - see how much time did it take to scientists finally admit alcohol is toxic? -. Similar studies on cannabis are still ongoing and we don't know yet all the risks it poses, but we already can see they do exist.

Maybe the real healthy thing is not switching from one drug to another, but cutting back on the overall consumption.
Also attempting to ban things that are both desirable and very easy to make is a great way to create an enormous criminal black market like we did with prohibition in the US.
Challenging the cutting edge of your product domain is what I get from this. Easy things are easy and predictable. Hard things and unpredictable evolving requirements are a tension against the initial system design which is the foundation of your code base. Over time the larger projects get the perhaps further they deviate from the original design. If you could predict it up front in many cases its not all that interesting or challenging of a problem. Duct tape is fine to use as long as you understand when you've gone too far and might want to re-design from scratch based on prior learnings.
> major shift in the knowledge about risks of things like sugar, cigarettes, alcohol...

In each of these case, the medical and scientific community didn't have a vested interests in these entities. I mean, the medical community didn't come up with smoking or alcohol consumption...

Now imagine some entity or procedure that the medical/scientific community came up with and the big business found way to make huge money off of, such that there is a natural alignment of incentives for the scientific community and big business to keep this thing propped up. Such a thing, even if doing great harm, is sure to go on for a vastly longer period of time, if not perpetually....
I saw some for sale last time I was in an Asian shop here in Freiburg. Sold in 1 kg bags, looked like salt, made in France (which surprised me the most).
> Also worth noting that consistency could be achieved by outlawing alcohol. In the U.S. at least, that proved an impractical solution.

It was recognized as impractical fairly quickly, despite having fairly similar concrete outcomes to the drug war, for which a similar recognition has been much slower and less complete. But, again, that's just another layer of inconsistency in the same direction, not a mitigation of it.
Yeah, for sure, I agree with all of this. I think the best way to write TypeScript is to really treat it like the tagline "JavaScript With Syntax For Types" - some of the extras TypeScript provided from before TC39 were active have much less relevance now.
> everybody in the process was trying to make the world a better place

have you actually met any VCs?
Thanks for this explanation. There should be incentive for providing excess capacity but there are issues with the approach being taken.

If I'm not mistaken, customers have little idea that a price surge is in effect and what the rate is until they get billed. It's not like going to a gas station, seeing a price, and being able to opt in to the transaction, seek alternatives, or plan to self ration your consumption, as you're prepaying for the energy. The way the Texas model works it seems to assume that customers have a financial buffer that they're able to tap into to pay the higher rates. Everyone should plan for such a buffer but for those that don't have one it places hardship on them. It's also a risk for the provider that they won't get paid their windfall. You can't send huge surprise bills and expect people to pay them.

A sensible approach is to charge a bit extra under normal conditions to build a communal buffer that is used to pay for emergency power production. As long as there's good governance, this derisks the system. Another alternative might be energy bill insurance, if such a thing exists. It's easier to plan for a fixed monthly premium than a surprise payment in an emergency.
> I wonder what happened.

Among other things, alcohol became legal to drink. Adults take more road trips than babies and teenagers too, I wonder why they can’t have fun at home anymore.
It looks very easy to use. I might have to use this for something.
Thank you and thank you for the information/numbers.

In regards to "The national media used the snowstorm in February as a political tool to kick Texas while it was down because they see it as a Republican bastion" I agree. However, it didn't help that this problem was spun around by the opposite side and used to blame solar and wind energy sources as the reason for the problem.

From what I gather(ed) the root problem was the lack of winterization to [all] energy infrastructure. But perhaps I'm misinformed on this too. Do you have additional insight?

Thanks.
What do the French have to say about that? France is one of the countries in the world with the highest life expectancy.
You raise several nutritional theories here.

Dietary Cholesterol / Blood Cholesterol - cholesterol restriction has been removed from dietary guidelines in the US, so people have taken that seriously.

Increased saturated fat is pretty well associated with LDL levels, which is associated with cardiovascular disease risk. Not sure that I've ever seen any contrary studies recently - I would be interested if you could link any you are aware of... I guess the questions I have seen are around carb intake and fat intake, but that's kind of a separate issue

Salt is definitely more questionable, but seems like if you are avoiding hyperprocessed foods, you are going to intake less salt, so maybe a non-issue...

I don’t want to memorize what a certain graph does after I build it. I don’t want to fight ambiguous menu items. I don’t want to memorize a click path through a web app with dozens of menus and toolbars just to end up at yet another dialect of query language I’m forced to learn.

Oh, and: not to speak of that one person somewhere in the chain of command who keeps barking out orders to randomly disable Splunk ingestion for individual instances due to cost.

Counterpoint, I read "The Manager's Path" and I found it to be a pretty redundant overview of the management path for someone in an org that has a well defined management structure/path and that started out as an IC and is now in an M1 role. ie, I had plenty of time to observe as an IC and then when I was ready for the switch I had a good understanding of what good management looks like, expectations were set and a solid group of mentors in my management chain.

To me it's a good book if:

- You are an IC in a "flat" organization/startup that wants to learn how the management path works at large companies
- You are now a manager that did not develop in an environment with a well defined management path. You are winging it and want to implement best practices.
That is a weird comparison. No one is forcing you to drink alcohol, but you might be forced to drive to the office. One is avoidable, the other one is not. Or if you want to be even more precise: One is easily avoidable and the other might cost you your job.

Always glad to share. I'll check out Greg Egan, I've heard the name a bunch of times but never actually got to his work yet.
The statement is only interesting when you consider a sizeable population who regularly drank the % alcohol and lived to 96. It’s a classic case of selection bias
Another article from The Lancet from around the same time reported a whopping... 6 months of life expectancy reduction when consuming 100-200g of alcohol a week versus 0-100g of alcohol a week. [1, Figure 4] A drink is 14 grams of alcohol, so that means that your risk from consuming 150 grams, or over 10 drinks a week, is still relatively low in terms of all-cause mortality. Figure 1 also shows that consumption of 0-100g per week has virtually no consequence on all-cause mortality.

I don’t really get this jump from “I enjoy drinking alcohol with friends” to someone accusing me of “being unable to enjoy myself without alcohol.” You could throw the same accusations at anyone for literally everything they enjoy doing. You can’t enjoy yourself without going out to see a movie! You can’t enjoy yourself without camping! You can’t enjoy yourself without listening to music!

> Fine Art is about story and provenance

Fine art is about being aesthetically pleasing. A JPG can do this on its own, without an NFT.

Maybe you mean the value of art is determined by, among other things, story and provenance? Sure, NFTs provide those two. What they don’t provide, which in my opinion is the most important part, is a unique piece of art. Some think a unique record in a blockchain that points to a non-unique copy of a JPG is equivalent, but it is not.

Which drivers haven't been upstreamed?

Also, you say it'd take a few weeks to create a standard installer by upstreaming "the last 6 patches?" What are these patches, and where's the link? Has someone already done the work and it's just waiting to be submitted, or are you saying these patches would form the basis for two weeks more work on top of getting everything upstreamed?

> Building out a robust telephony stack for Linux

What's the current state of the telephony stack for Linux? Are there competing projects? For the most complete project, what is missing WRT the pinephone? What isn't possible to do on it currently-- say, by fucking around in a terminal window-- that must be developed for pinephone be considered to have an API suitable for a cheap, modern smart phone?

> Building a mobile user interface for Linux

Isn't Phosh this? If not, what would you suggest as an alternative to what Phosh is currently doing?

I'd like to hear the details on this. E.g., if the biggest problem with the telephony stack were that it doesn't yet support animated emojis, I'd go ahead and buy a pinephone. I suspect the problems go deeper than that. But commenters here seem to just say, "Definitely not a daily driver." I have no idea what the scope of the problem is from that.

You can do that with sum types.

type methods = 'a' | 'b'

The difference is enums are also nominal, while most types are structural.
