I think I can see where you’re coming from with that criticism, but if I’m right then my error was an insufficient example.

I would count “I like Elbonia because we have the best mud farmers in the world” as patriotism. It may be untrue (which is a separate issue), and it may be chosen post-hoc as the only way to stand out (ditto), but it doesn’t imply other nations are no good at farming mud.

I would count your quoted example as nationalism for the same reason I would describe "I like men’s football because it is comprised of the superior male race" as sexism, while I would say that “I like men’s football more than women’s because I sexually fantasise about men and not women”, isn’t.

There are lots of ways to stop pipes from freezing. A couple are mentioned here.

Another way is to put the valve below the freeze line in the ground. Opening the valve to the water would close a drain valve in the pipe leading from it to the faucet, and closing the valve would open the drain valve.

I have a setup like this at my house, although the two valves are not linked. It works fine.
The alternative is living in a microcosm of your own product/company, as the rest of the world is the wild west with no purported conventions at all. So even if it's a disaster, it's a better disaster than not having recognizable conventions that anyone outside of your company is aware of.

And I say this as someone who originally live-edited PHP sites over FTP on apache in the early 00s. Convention is everything.

Rails can be quite a disaster, but it has some solid conventions on app structure, routing, and security. It's not that Rails is great, it's that having conventions and sane defaults that get you somewhere instead of nowhere is better than not having them. No other major popular framework that I'm aware of has any real conventions on app structure or on any of the core things that 99% of apps need anyway, so everyone is out there re-inventing the wheel.

In most frameworks, you get almost nothing included by default, and have to make key decisions on things like how will you encrypt cookies, how will you do CSRF protection, and sometimes even more basic things like how will you do routing. This has led to rampant security vulnerabilities reminiscent of the PHP days of yore imo. Productivity-wise this has made it impossible to get anything done, because the second you go to work for a new company, you end up having to help them re-implement basic processes like integration testing, CI, app structure, because everyone in the wild is just flying by the seat of their pants and making it up based on their limited experience and knowledge. "Oh, we just copy paste this boiler-plate and manually load SQL files for our migration system" "What's CSRF?" "What do you mean having separate environments for development, testing, staging, and production?" "Oh, we kept getting that CORS error so we just added a wildcard and it went away" etc etc

I've been using a laptop as my primary computer for ~8 years now. Now I find it difficult (unergonomic) to go back to a normal monitor; I'm more comfortable with my head tilted down 20º. I wonder if laptop use leads to this preference for lower monitors.
One of my favorite unionization stories comes from Denmark when unions in various industry sectors joined together to force McDonalds to adhere to union rules.[1] The US has so few weak and disparate unions that that story could never play out there - even up here in Canada we're pretty anti-union in general.

This graphic represents "house size in square feet" and "square feet per person."

It is not "housing supply." The latter is the quantity of single-family homes on the market in common sense.

When people refer to "inflation" without any additional modifiers, they're generally referring to the Consumer Price Index numbers released by the government. When the news reports that "inflation is at a 40 year high" or "inflation is at 6%", that is based on the CPI. The CPI does not include housing costs. The most visible single component of the CPI for most people is the cost of gasoline. That's the only thing that I've personally noticed costing more.

Oh the irony.
I get it. It's a common sentiment that I happen to disagree with. You could pay the CEO $20M and have the floor for labor at $200K and the gap is still absurd. I do believe that different jobs should command different pay and that markets should set those rates. I don't believe $200M is the market rate for a good CEO though. I believe the shareholders should get the profit as they grow (that's why they invested) and employees should be paid appropriately to their job/market.

In all cases, employees should be treated well. I don't advocate taking advantage of the lower rung. Have some level of purchasing power, etc. But, there is always going to be a bottom wage where people "struggle" and the only fix is to climb to a higher level as an individual. Lifting the entire bottom just moves the needle and doesn't improve purchasing power as it just forces prices up as well.

Out of curiosity, what is an acceptable gap between min/max compensation?
Of course nations should be free to choose their own path. No-one is arguing against that.

Mearsheimer argues that when the path that a country chooses comes into conflict with a great power's security interests, those interests become the overriding concern of both parties. He points out that Cuba was not allowed to ally itself with USSR with nuclear war being put on the table.

I can't help but wonder what the US would do if Mexico signed a security pact with China to put a military base on its soil.

As a minor example consider the Solomon islands brouhaha[1].

You could probably also do it without directly interacting with the farmers at all, by putting a water tax, similar to a carbon tax, on products that are produced in areas with non-abundant water resources. So, rice from Arkansas would remain the same price, but almonds from California might get a little more expensive. This could lead farmers to start making more rational choices with their water supplies out of their own self-interest, or investing in water-preserving technologies.

But is it a problem worth solving?
Are either of these cases of unions aiding a non-member, which is the topic of the sentence you quoted? I can't read all of the first one—which is an opinion piece anyway, as is the second—but the second doesn't seem to be about that.

At any rate, this, from your second link, is insightful:

You wouldn't believe what districts cover up or ignore, even if the union's not a factor. It's routine.

Hi Rebecca - so this US/Canada only no folks outside the region, right?
Well, although this RFC is probably a 4/1 joke, there is some truth in the first part: assumed we are talking about state-of-the-art open source project where many people can actually inspect the code and are interested to do so, with the amount of bugs per LoC already found you decrease the chances of finding more bugs in the future provided that you don't add new ones. This can be seen in projects considered "mature" where no new features are being implemented.

Of course the second part is ridiculous: unless we are talking about a system formally proven to be bug free, which has enormous limitations, there always will be bugs.
I don’t know how this idea possibly gained traction. If you asked me to come up with a short list in 2010 of who the next Supreme Court appointments of a Republican President would be, all three would have been in the list. Gorsuch and Kavanaugh were well known “feeder” judges in the Courts of Appeals, like Judge Garland is and Justice Ginsburg and Justice Souter were before their appointment. Barrett was a prominent law professor. The appointments were completely unsurprising.
This is so very true.

Another extremely good signal are people that won’t give up easily.

Tenacity, grit, whatever you want to call it.

All that trumps degrees and knowledge, because all you have to do is spark the interest of this kind of person and they will find a way because they just won’t stop until they do.

A friend of mine still has a Porsche 914, in a barn in Northern California. It hasn't moved in years. Her son, who was really into cars, once wanted to restore it. He's now an design engineer with Toyota and has more old vehicles than he needs, including a 1958 Ford Fairlane Skyliner with the roof that disassembles and stores itself in the trunk.

If someone really wants to buy the old Porsche, send me a message.
Tangential but what is the most successful and most complex example of a fully FP-based application where I can view the source-code today? I feel like I still don't quite grasp the essence of the conflict between FP and whatever it seems to be opposing. I also feel like I use what a lot of FP people claim as FP in my day-to-day.

I think if I can see some code beyond the old map/reduce toy examples it might click. Not wanting to be confrontational, and I know that this forum isn't here specifically to educate me personally, I just genuinely have had problems understanding what FP is "supposed" to be that any good programmer doesn't already do when possible, regardless of language or whatever.

I'm sure it will click and I'll look dumb but yeah. Isn't loose coupling and strong coherence kind of covering this already? Is it just down to doing map/reduce/filter to avoid mutating some variable and instead get a new set of results? Is mutation the charm?

I genuinely really feel I'm missing out on something important here because I have older views on programming, I've struggled to get a good explanation. Do I have to go back to school again? I'm not against that but yeah. I'm sorry if this sounds ignorant, but I kind of am.
There's the application windows switcher for that (it used to be called application Exposé; not sure it has a name these days). Once you are in an application, just command-down to see its windows in a much better way than what you get with alt-tab on Windows.

Switching between 2 windows works fin with command-tab, because it brings only the window that was in the foreground, not all the application's window. So, for example, when switching repeatedly between the same windows in TextMate and iTerm, a single command-tab always brings the other window to the front. Another of my common use cases is looking for papers in Safari, reading them in a bibliography manager, and writing manuscripts in a TeX editor. Again, everything is as smooth as it could be.

It is actually a bit more cumbersome when you have to switch e.g. between 2 windows in one application and a window in another one. Overall, these drawbacks make much more sense to me than Windows' alt-tab's, and the system fits my workflows much better.

You can also switch between applications by using tab whilst in this mode (though it is not too convenient because there is little feedback about which application os selected).
I think this is to some extent personality-dependent and not as universal as you posit.

I somewhat fall into the demographic you describe but find myself not really caring about maximizing TC because I’m working on interesting and meaningful problems. (I would never be interested in working on adtech or infosec even for double my pay — I’m just not interested in those areas.)

I have met many in tech whose game is maximizing TC. They’re very vocal but I don’t know if they represent everyone.

>Do most people in New York want their police force to have a budget larger than military of a mid sized country? Probably not?

Pareto distribution strikes again! Apparently new york city has a GDP that ranks 15 in the world, above mexico[1][2] and ranks 59 in the world in terms of population[3], so the fact that new york exceeds "a mid sized country" (median?) in some statistic isn't surprising. If you want to make the argument that the US is over-policed, use some statistic like officers per 100,000 people or something.

When I was a larval programmer, I collected the different types of bugs I found as I debugged my code. This category was my favourite.

I once progressively commented out more and more of a file, trying to find the bit with a bug, until the whole thing was commented out and no source was being compiled yet the original buggy behavior was still there and only THEN did I figure out I was editing a different file than I was compiling.

Echoes of this original sin have shown up repeatedly throughout my life, to be point where it's one of the first things I check when my corrective measure has no effect on problematic behavior.
> "[...] which company many union leaders regard [...]"

Ergo:

No union victory is bigger than the first win in the United States at Amazon, which company many union leaders regard as an existential threat to labor standards across the economy because it touches so many industries and frequently dominates them

[EDIT] I also intentionally used the construction in my original post: "[...] which technique is usually overkill [...]". The usage there, unlike in the Times sentence, was actually necessary since the antecedent was too far removed. The original Times sentence was correct, but splitting it up or specifying the antecedent would remove the possibility of a reader being confused by thinking the Times writer wasn't, correctly, using "which" to refer to the closest antecedent ("Amazon") but instead to something earlier in the first clause ("first win").

On looking closer, I think it's the construction of that first clause that makes the "which" read like it might have been employed incorrectly, when it was (technically, kind of) not. "first win in the United States at Amazon". The "at" makes "Amazon" seem heavily dependent on "first win in the United States", so it still looks like "which" might point at "first win", not "Amazon".

Freakonomics ran a recent episode on unions [1]. A pair of interesting stats were presented near the start: the approval rating for unions stands at 70% in the US (even higher among the young) at the same time that union membership stands at 10%. Both numbers are at multi-decade extremes.

I don't think it's any coincidence that this success at Amazon comes right now. After the GFC all regulatory efforts turned to keeping financial markets solvent. That has meant unwavering support for policies that favor those with assets over those who don't.

The pandemic happened in early 2020 just as the wheels were flying off the US economy yet again. So what would have played out got masked by many other factors, including direct government transfers.

Those stimmie checks of yore are long gone, and it will be a very steep uphill battle to bring anything remotely like that back given the rip-roaring yr/yr increase in CPI and PPI now underway. Those checks are being blamed for the ongoing inflation that more than just the lunatic fringe now thinks is the start of Weimar-style hyperinflation.

So with the 2/10 year yield curve now inverted [2], it's just a matter of time before the economic chickens come home to roost once more. Will it be different this time? Will unions step in to fill the gap that government can not?
