Right, corrected!
Maybe I missed it, but I don’t think Dan even attempts to answer the titular question! The article, while quite good, is just a very long list of things that suck, and anecdotes about people who tried to make things suck less.

I’ve thought about this question very often, and I think the answer does come back to the market efficiency argument that Dan ridicules at the beginning. I think in many cases, what the market provides is actually about as good as what the market can sustain.

Sure, most products have obvious flaws, and maybe you could fix them. But could you build a successful company solely on the basis of addressing those flaws? Sometimes, yes. Some products do get displaced by better alternatives. But can you expect that process to happen reliably, for all types of products, at all times? When you put it that way, I think it seems silly to expect the answer would be yes.

I was reasonably happy with the NT 3.51 -> Windows 2000 -> Windows 7 line of Microsoft products. I skipped Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows XP. By Windows 7, Microsoft had finally figured out how to make it work, had dumped much of the DOS-era code, and had the consumer and pro versions unified into something good.

It's been downhill since then. Ads, subscriptions, and trying to make desktops look like phones.

Windows 7 is still 12% of the installed base, and that's not counting the ones that don't phone home to Redmond.
paid version just gets more and more complicated, all i want is to know how many days per week and miles per week i ran with my times trending up or down, but all the easy to use screens have been removed and replaced by designer mush. it’s like KPIs have gone wrong and they think the rage navigating is engagement. app was fine in like 2017. and then when they make me swipe through some product tour of overcomplicated BS or hunt for the concealed “close ad” button on some stupid year end recap when all i want to do is start my run. i think they have too many PMs competing on vanity metrics to justify their existence
And there's 0 chance any LNG terminals get built as a response to this situation by the next winter - especially in Europe. Building a terminal near here was on the order of a decade with all the planning, and a lot of protesting form people in the region (you are building a port for liquified natural gas after all).

Even if they decide to build additional capacity the last thing you want to do is cut corners.

You're absolutely correct. I guess I meant that when push comes to shove and Europe needs to decide what to do with the Petroleum it does have, it can dedicate to energy production and industry essential to function, and limit the amount available to consumers (think gas rations in the 70s), but it's harder to limit natural gas that is used by people to keep them alive in the winter. My fear is not "will the economy in Europe survive a lack of oil?" but is actually "Will Europe have enough natural gas to keep people from freezing in the Winter?" But yes, petroleum is essential as well.
If this was the case, then it is actually Apple to blame. Hard to believe there was such incessive practices. Under such scheme, the operator the device was locked(you will never know which as myself have multiple services and sometimes switch SIMs between devices, I assume I'm not alone) to might completely have no idea what was happening and I don't see a way that they can help the user easily.
Sure, sure. And I speculate a wizard did it.

When people are speculating that effects will happen, even though we've done this and they didn't, by asserting that an impossible goal wasn't reached, it's appropriate to ask them how.

If you feel that it's appropriate to use emotive words like "arrogant" when someone says "please tell me how that's possible," then I guess I'm not that worried about your opinion.
Agree. Such practice was dumb and incessive. If it was made clear, why would someone buy it in the first place?

A third time:

1. We've had hard drives within a tenth of a degree of kelvin, and the effect you're asserting did not occur

2. You're offering no explanation for what would actually cause this

3. The weight of a random superconductor is an irrelevant detail added for fake technical acumen

We have had these devices at these temperatures, and the thing you're talking about did not occur.

Until you can say why it would, there is no reason to take this seriously.

We've already done this. Your speculation is invalidated by experience and data.
If we had 10 years warning and a slow drop off. Most uses of oil can't actually swtich to anything else without expensive rebuilding '

If conservation gets you anywhere why weren't you doing it before? There is a lot of room for insulation that was already cost effective at last years prices, so I doubt those who could do it will.
Russian gas makes up about 10% of Europe’s energy imports. That’s quite a bit, and there are regional and sectoral hotspots. But it’s not impossible to replace.

Plus Russia continues to have an interest in selling he stuff. With all other sources of revenue being cut, it becomes even more important. What may have been 6 % of the budget will easily be 15 %, soon, and they will need every cent to avoid a complete economic collapse.
FYI motor couplings are not typically designed to fail as a method of protecting the motor. Overload protection is usually handled electrically, with fuses/circuit breaker which will remove power when too much load is applied to the motor (stuck door) or via controller board and load sensing.

I wish containers hadn't created the abstractions of a registry and an image instead of exposing it all as tar files (which is what it kind of is under the covers) served over a glorified file server. This leads to people assuming there's some kind of magic happening and that the entire process is very arcane, when in reality it's just unpacking tar files.

If you want to DIY a container with unix tools, this should help: https://containers.gitbook.io/build-containers-the-hard-way/
This is an incredibly limited view and nirvana fallacy.

No project can radically change global education system. So of course can't 'just'. And even somehow your wildest fantasy came true and we were all some perfect robots operating only based on rational sorting of peer reviewed papers it would still not solve anything.

No human has even 1/1000000 of a chance to be a perfect expert on all the things that might be discussed in the world.

Science and critical thinking are not universal. No scientific paper and no amount of historical education on history of Crimea will perfectly inform you about what is 'correct'.

Even beyond all that, moderation is targeted add far more things then miss-information. Its about 100 practical issues. From abuse. To Spam. To harassment. To Spoilers. To keep things 'on topic'. And many other things.
Ah I see, thanks for the explanation.
Russian agreements are solid. The Russians may take a while to reach agreements, which can be very frustrating to negotiators, but when they do they stick to them.

Having been on the receiving end, I would trust a Russian and his word more than I would trust a member of any other culture. They don't bluff when they say something. I wish more people would take notice when a Russian gives a warning about anything.
Glad it's helpful!
That's fine, because as a business I can decide whether or not that price is acceptable to me.

On the other hand, if they are known to occasionally significantly increase the price of their offering, then I have to factor that risk into my budget (let's face it: most businesses are locked in to their current cloud provider to a significant extent) so the price on the label is misleading.

I much prefer to pay a bit more up front than to have to constantly guesstimate how much financial risk is introduced by my cloud provider's erratic business decisions.
I'm pretty sure they're talking about Japan, not the US.
If you're suggesting that what human civilization needs, in order to elevate us to a more global maximum (by your favorite rubric, whatsoever), is climate catastrophe, I think you could serve yourself well by looking into generational trauma and PTSD.

It's the culling of vulnerable populations that will limit our biodiversity and development towards ultimate catastrophe resilience. We've seen enough homogenization of architecture and institutions already to seriously endanger our tenure on the planet.

It's strange to me that you view "western nations" as possessing "greater stability" than the Persian, Indian, Chinese, and Ottoman empires and, likewise, strange that you think "the Onepercenters" "historically preferred" strong, stable social structures and not, specifically, a differential between their holdings and a marginal region to exploit.

Some people like to romanticize the opportunities available for underdogs in times of crisis but, for example, the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina is an easy counter-example. Vulnerability isn't strength. A "rising tide" doesn't lift all boats.

Ours is a hugely abstract and almost criminally vague level of discourse, however. I can't think of any meaningful consensus at which you and I might arrive. I just hope you can grow to recognize that survival of the fittest has no foresight, and no memory. Too cheaply do we cull the only locally unfit. Leaving climate change to do its worst in the hopes that it might topple "business as usual" sounds like a great way to preserve the most ruthless actors.
What a great tool for generating fictional maps.
I’m confused. If you don’t think it’s easy why would you laugh? I thought you were trying to tell me it’s so easy and trivial that it’s not worth mentioning, which might be true for you but it’s definitely not true for everyone.
Maybe they screwed themselves over like having:

- normal search for the list of apps that exist
- paid search positioning on top of that
- previous searches you made
- suggested results just for you

and then somehow blending that into a bad list of search results. (this is just a crappy guess on my part)

On one hand I don't care all that much, on the other hand I know there are people that do go browsing the store looking for new stuff to try out, and using search seems to be the only reasonable way to go looking for things with so many apps being available.
Those kinds of implementation details won't be hard to add to Solito. The API I'm using is that of Next.js. If they adapt to suspenseful approaches to routing, Solito will too.

There are also experiments in the works to make React Navigation lazy load code with suspense on the Native side by bringing Webpack to Native: https://github.com/EvanBacon/expo-auto-navigation-webpack

Another added bonus of this approach is that it will have a pages/ folder API like Next.js.

I don't see why Solito won't be able to support these use-cases as they arise.

> ddevault is an extremely talented developer.

I fully agree with this, and that's why every single post of his about the language fills me with dread. It's a complete waste of talent, boiling the ocean, instead of simply "taking over" an existing minor language with his talent. Or just do his thing with Go, or Rust, or any of the other zillion system languages in the world.

Emotionally I want to be proven wrong, and see that language thrive, Linux/gcc-style against all odds, but rationally, I think there's only one language that can even approach C-killer levels and that's Rust.
If Rust with a literal Evangelism Strike Force can't kill C, then nothing can.
They were posturing for it since Jan at least. I bet we’ll be able to unearth orders at least as early as that some day.
> The person I was speaking with via a chat had no solutions to my problem

Disagree! Workarounds are solutions, just of varying quality for the long-term.
> Indeed, it's a purely theoretical scenario

Theory says that this scenario cannot occur, so it's actually not a theoretical scenario.

Temperature is defined as the brownian net motion of a bag of particles. No reference point is involved.

How do you make that zero temperature? Are these particles zero-motion with respect to themselves? Then they aren't with respect to the planet, or the sun, or the galaxy.

Are they zero-motion with respect to the sun? Then they're hot enough to melt in seconds.

The conceptual idea of zero-temperature is not a real thing.

These people doing their fake-wise "but weird things happen at zero temperature" are just snake oil salesmen plying false knowledge.

There is no such thing as zero temperature.

In the meantime, there's nothing theoretical about the practical scenario, either. Voyager's hard drives have been in the absolute zero of outer space for more than half a century. Its heater, which did not reach the hard drives, has been off for more than a decade.

Those hard drives have been sub-1-kelvin for years and nothing changed.

These people are trying to speculate about what would happen if in a situation we've already had a dozen times, because they don't know the truth, and are filling their lack of knowledge with guesswork.

When it's presented to them that facts exist, they attempt to move the goalpost to theoretical limits which physics says aren't actually real at all, and then from there try to lean on their depth in physics.

.

> So if you were to cool it as close to absolute zero as possible it would require turning it into something which was not a hard drive

This is a fantastic point, and something I hadn't even thought of.

I like this a lot.

I'm still wondering about "what, you think ball bearings in a vacuum don't work when it's chilly?"

Like I can't even think of why they think it'll fail, except some magical belief that the fact that it's cold just causes magical breakage

The operation of the damn drive is friction based. It'll heat up! Crimeny.

Nothing you said negates ML as a possible solution to better tailor content for people. Other platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. already use algorithms to try to better tailor content for users to increase engagement, absolutely no reason Reddit couldn't offer something similar (with the option to use the classic mode obviously). Also to be clear I'm talking more about comment quality than post quality (there are no ads in comments).

Of course using length of comments isn't perfect, and that should never be the sole input in any general-purpose algorithm, just one variable among many. I still believe it could be used to help improve quality. It would likely be more about punishing extremely short comments (eg. one or two sentences) which are rarely insightful, rather than simply scoring comments based on length.
Because I’m a writer, I’m going to be a bit pedantic here. Novels start around 50,000 words and usually take several hours to read. ;)

Advancement in science & tech needs curiosity, critical & independent thinking and most importantly ability to change mind when data says that you were wrong.

These are precisely the things which religion (organised or otherwise) has suppressed for thousands of years.

The most important factor in advancement of sciences came because of: separation of the state and religion. When this happened it still took few centuries where rational thinking was accepted in ruling class. From this point it was really the case of one idea leads to another.

Not OP, but another manufacturing engineer. Manufacturing has been on a slow decline for decades due to outsourcing and automation. The need to offer a competitive wage and working conditions is not what it is in tech, and company culture can get pretty cutthroat depending on the industry you're working in. You could find a job elsewhere, but it likely won't be much different. In fact, a rotation for being on-call would be an improvement for me, as I've never worked anywhere where I'm not on-call all the time. People even try to call me when they know I'm on vacation, which is one of many reasons I keep a personal phone that they don't know the number for.

I make better money than most people I know around my age, but it's nowhere near tech money and it's not enough for the bullshit. Unfortunately, it is good enough that pivoting into another field and taking a pay cut would be painful.
Just a reminder that on-call rotations are abusive and unnecessary and should be one of the first targets of a developers union.

If an enterprise thinks their applications should be up 24/7 they should staff for 24/7 support.

On-call is a way for bad businesses to steal money from their workers by expecting them to work 24/7 without paying them 4.2x their salary.

And even if they did pay a full wage per hour on call it wouldn’t be worth it because nothing truly compensates you for the hours of your life you’re losing while tethered to your work phone and computer.
There is no way to establish clean socialism.

Am I supposed to trust politicians that sold out to their donors that they will appoint people smart enough to lead an industry? I've witnessed politicians mostly appointing their friends.

If they will not appoint them they are still in charge of what rules those leaders are supposed to follow.

To get socialism working you need good people but those aren't easily attracted to those positions. And even then they need to be able to balance resources that can only satisfy the needs of a subset of the society anyway.

Usually the self-serving people got into position of making decisions and used that to advance their grasp on power, eventually subverting any attempts at accountability.

The idea is to hurt the economy as a whole. So, yes, it only works if it’s done somewhat extensively.
My thesis is that it's a mixture of a few things:

a) Underappreciation of what things require technological advancements. Imagine being a [1] first person to discover that you can turn certain grasses into dough that can be cooked into bread... and you can't turn other grasses into that dough. That kind of person could well have been the Lavoisier of their day. Yet today, that's the kind of skill passed down from parent to child as the most pedestrian thing ever.

b) Bootstrapping effect. A lot of technology requires itself to be built, whether it's a compiler to compile your compiler, or a kiln to bake the bricks to make your kiln. In the inverse of this effect, until you build up enough infrastructure to use your technology to perpetuate itself, it might not be appreciated that it's worthwhile to do so--I'm reminded of the anecdote that Dijkstra once chastised a student for wasting precious computer time running an assembler program.

c) Societal effects of smaller, nomadic societies. If you're small, you run a greater risk of knowledge simply dying out; information loss rates were probably much higher 20,000 years ago than today. Similarly, a nomadic society is probably less willing to invest in infrastructure (like, say, kilns) that isn't readily able to move with them, and this will retard certain technological development.

It's just a thesis, though; I don't really have any hard evidence for anything, just thought experiments.

[1] As I mentioned elsewhere, this is probably an example of something that was independently invented several times.
People who speak a romance language definitely have a stronger connection than many but Latin was far from the only language of the Romans. Greek was used extensively in the West and East alike, and there were regional languages like Gaulish, Aramaic and many many others elsewhere. Many of those who did speak Latin did so as a second language, with strong accents etc. So in many ways what is Roman is more about mindset, culture, institutions, aesthetic preferences etc than language. (and pretty much all of the Western world carry on Roman versions of all of the above, for better or for worse :P)

This article refers to "moderate" (100 lx) light exposure - this amounts to an overhead light on in the room for the entire duration of sleep.

I would say an overhead light is a significant amount of light, but wonder how low the threshold is for sleep disruptions. Living in an urban environment, there's a non-negligible amount of ambient light that makes its way in. I don't use a set of blackout curtains, but I know several friends that say it makes a real difference.
