This happens in the US as well from what I understand and I always found it an interesting testament to margin size of the product when you're selling something at a mass scald and can afford shaving 10 or 20 cents off the product price point, overloading the value to codify it internally.

Seems like there are cheaper ways, but maybe the price cuts back on secondary labeling or sell association, ultimately saveing personnel time, which ultimately costs less than those expenses.
I wonder about this as well. Let's say Amazon did really well for 5 years and you paid significant wealth tax from these shares. Then Amazon plummets and you lose 50% and then you sell shares. Would the NZ government reimburse a part of the wealth taxes you already paid?
I like it, but Chef's Table uses "that one simple trick" 5x an episode where 18th century orchestral music is overlaid in a montage using all the available camera and editing tricks, showing someone literally is just making a cookie.
> but for medium to large projects it gets out of hand very quickly.

Yup, it was really built without sufficient attention to the "programming in the large" featureset, much like those BASICs of old. Of course this became less of an issue in VB.NET that was pretty much a C# equivalent.

> it automatically gives them a boilerplate name. You can rename these but you tend to find devs would forget

The "Object Inspector" interface to form-element properties (including its identifier in code!) was very unintuitive, so this was a predictable outcome.

> Componentisation was also a problem in that you tended to have all your code connected directly to the form.

Yes, because it was difficult to have a full global view of the code that might drive a refactoring. Each form element and event would bring up its own tiny window of code.
Perhaps, but I'm partial to the interpretation that we simply don't understand quantum mechanics well enough to explain it to, if not a dog, children in high school.

Note that we do teach classical mechanics (to a point) in high school, even though it was the cutting edge of physics at some point.

Roger Penrose came up with a very plausible theory that the heat death of our universe looks like the big bang moment, from the perspective of a photon. So our universe is caught in a cycle of birth death rebirth ad infinitum.

I think this could be particularly difficult for people (just guessing here) who haven't used a functional approach in the past. The shift from procedural imperative thinking to functional thinking is not obvious, and Clojure strongly pushes you to use immutability right away, too. That can be a steep learning curve.

I can tell you that the payoff at the end is huge, though :-)

As a side note, I'd highly suggest that everyone reads "Seven Languages in Seven Weeks" (https://pragprog.com/titles/btlang/seven-languages-in-seven-...). There are many programming paradigms and opening your mind to them is a great investment in the future.
While I was freelancer I worked almost all of the time from home. I was also looking at getting a desk at some coworking place. What I do is working from neighborhood cafes, libraries, etc.

Now I've switched jobs. I work at company that has hybrid work policy. This was one of the main reasons for the switch - to be among the people again.

I go to office at least once a week.
>Sure, there are bugs in every code but unexpectedly panicking is considered a bug

Yes so would you like say Firefox to just crash when one of it's many dependencies crashes?

You are suggesting but I am not sure if I understand correctly that only memory errors cause panics? So what if the library reads a file and unexpectedly it shit happens with the file, it will crash the program because the developer maybe forgot to return a special error code in this case,

This is the problem. You have an agenda (cars are unimportant / should be banned), therefore, you cite parking lots as "poorly utilized".

You also act as if there is a land shortage. There is not, with exceptions stated above.
Yes. It’s called “understanding your constraints”.

The inverse is “appeal to higher power”; (implication being that its almost religion since it’s based on faith).

However: if you think that running large systems is hard, then it follows that it’s better to deploy small systems.

There can be times to outsource for sure, and I’m being relatively glib: but this idea of rent vs own is quite pervasive in the industry and it leads to dangerous situations where entire companies grind to a halt because these trade offs were talked down.

Regardless of that; understanding the trade offs is important, the famous “your nines are not my nines” is good to reference here: https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2019/07/15/giant/
Playing with a new language is much less work/burnout than the BS we get paid to do
So we must all change our concept of “greatness”. Perhaps more effort to embrace and value what is considered “less” rather than always trying to level up.

For some. But at $200k, another 15% in tax is $30k. That covers healthcare (the extra not covered by employer insurance), childcare for 1 with a little left over.

And it's not just $30k. That same role is likely paid less in the EU. So it's more like $50-70k extra.

I know it's really fashionable to blame the government for everything but the government doesn't require broken websites, confusing workflows, and excessive redirects.
Wild Turkeys are not a protected species. I don't know squat about local laws in DC and IANAL, so I could be wrong, but I'm thinking about what happens if you kill a bird in general. For example, if you hit one with your car, you typically just keep on driving and feel bad about it - you don't report it to law enforcement or anything. This would seem to be the same scenario.
Seems to me that you'd have to have a better understanding of quantum mechanics before it's applied to gravity, given that gravity is usually thought of on scales much larger than QM. I'm having trouble explaining what I mean by that, but an entity like a star isn't a particle, it's a system of many particles, which is where people have trouble with QM — cf quantum computers. Seems like we'd have to have a better understanding of system - level quantum dynamics before really understanding gravity (or maybe understanding gravity would give leverage to something like quantum computing?)
Basically, yes. I came across a few comments that suggested it was great for audio UIs, but very unwieldy for anything outside that (things like non-Latin text rendering, navigation stacks, etc). So while it was possible to build general UIs in JUCE, you needed to go to a lot of effort (at least compared to something like Qt/Flutter/etc).

Admittedly I didn't dig really deep so I don't know how valid these criticisms are - so I was wondering if you had some tales from the trenches and how it stacks up against "less niche" UI kits.
True, but bidding is also the opposite from offering for sale, so it makes sense to go up instead of down like you see with the prices in shops.
Can you be more specific on the 2nd paragraph for someone ignorant like myself?
I think one of the reasons is politicians get much more out of yelling at Zuckerberg or Tim Cook than those other companies. I don't know if they are all on the payroll but overall they just seem ineffectual and focused on divisive issues.

For me the privacy things would go a lot farther if maybe the politicians started to get tracked publically or it was framed as companies selling your kids location and data. Think of the children and all. :)
That's a nice explanation.

If I were him I'd ask why not just print the spikes at the vaccine factory and inject them?

I should clarify, I meant diversity of appearance in all aspects, not just race/orientation.

Casting in non-US tv shows, to my eyes, seems to give a better mix of ordinary looking people (fat, ugly, disabled, scarred, plain, old, teens-actually-cast-as-teens etc). This is just as important for representation, not everyone can be insta-perfect.
I work with people like you everywhere I go.

They're not smart enough to understand and therefore affect their circumstance. Their greatest accomplishment is that they still have a job, lol.

You are the Peter principle. You are fatigued from being asked to use a brain that isn't capable of solving corporate web dev and relaxing. It is instead tired of trying to solve what it considers 'complex stuff'.

If something is still complex about placing buttons and text on a screen after 15 years - you're not smart enough to do it!

Try switching into management, testing, anything else where brain use is severely limited and largely not needed. You'll feel a great sense of relief.
If I recall correctly, you could write new code during debugging sessions, move the pointer to it and run it. Very dynamic. We can now do some of these things in VS or other tools with .Net, however VB was much more powerful in this regard. I can only recall there being one statement that required a rebuild - was it CreateObject or similar?

> Seriously though, as the article itself says, the problem was never even to identify these "crews". It was about the political will to do something about it.

A big part of the problem is the police unions, which routinely prevent leaders in the police departments from firing or otherwise disciplining police officers who routinely cause problems.

A big part of the reason there is no political will to do something about these "crews" is because the leadership knows the unions will make it as difficult as possible to get rid of them. So why spend the political capital if you're going to get stymied at every step anyway?
Setting aside why I disagree with this superiority claim, since this is posted under a "Clojure" comment, I just wanted to point out that Clojure is not a pure functional language and you can still use imperative programming. In fact, most Clojure programs are a mix of imperative and functional constructs.
It's worth noting that the idea that bananas are uniquely or unusually high in potassium is itself a myth. Many other fruits and vegetables are much higher: a cup of spinach, for instance, has about twice as much potassium as a banana, and a baked potato has even more.
All major US networks are doing this, not just AT&T.

Not sure about the name, but there are reasons to expect more reliability. You're only handling your traffic, not all the customers at once. You don't need to scale/distribute that far. And you can predict the traffic/storage needs better. In SaaS case someone does it for you, but it's a much bigger problem and they care less about you (as a single customer id 37826) than you do.

Minimum wage increases are going to be washed away by the immediate inflation generated by the massive jump in buying power on the demand side and by the inflation generated by the increase in supply costs caused by the increase in wages.

Not to mention many companies would probably move more of their operations to other countries and just sell their stuff online and not have to hire anyone here.
And in Norway it's still very common for young people (25-50) to buy property. Often couples buying together, but it's almost a given that you buy instead of renting.

I am using it, but it is not fun to use. It spawns 28 Docker containers (yes, that's the actual number), including things like nginx, postgres, memcached, redis, kafka, zookeeper, clickhouse. I've tried upgrading it once and it failed miserably, after which I simply started from scratch.

I would like to use their hosted version, or a more stable paid on-prem version. Pricing is not the issue for me, but I don't want to introduce another third-party service and have to include that in compliance documentation for our customers. That is the reason I still self-host many things to be honest.
SheetJS (xlsx) no longer in the NPM registry
"The project's maintainer suggests that the decision to pull out of the npm registry is based on the newly introduced two-factor requirements for top projects, GitHub's abrupt decision-making, and ongoing 'legal matters' between SheetJS and npm."
I'm afraid I only used it for some toy applications and it was mostly fine, but I do concur that if you're going for a 'just a bunch of forms' desktop application you'll find more out-of-the-box features in something like Qt.

If, however, your application mostly consists out of custom GUI elements then JUCE is pretty compelling.
Just because you're willing to accept a wide range of houses does not make them fungible. Each house is unique and each home buyer has different priorities.

That's why houses a priced individually. When you go to the grocery store, they don't individually price each cob of corn. There might be two different buckets with a differentiator (organic vs non organic), but within the bucket each cob is fungible. It doesn't matter which one you grab.

Each house gets its own bucket.
Well I myself was meeker traveling alone than I would be in a group of friends. It was observing this in part that led me to my hypothesis. I'd like to think I wouldn't become rude with sufficient friends around me, but I haven't tested that. I did observe that the rude groups were ruder in other countries than I observed groups of the same nationalities being in their own countries.

Still, you could be right that tours select for rude tourists. The large, rude groups were more likely to have designated organizers. The rude Americans on the train didn't.

I agree with some of the premise —- university education doesn’t focus on preparation for specific vocational skills.

But you could say the same about high school. It doesn’t follow that reading writing and algebra are bad vocational investments, in fact the opposite because they support many possible vocations.

As a CS professor, my goal is to push students to rewire their brains in ways that are better and more effective. It is also for them to gain foundational understanding that will allow them to learn advanced vocational skills. I teach theory so software engineering may be different. But of course I don’t want to teach something that will mainly be useful only for the next 2-3 years of their career, I want to have an impact on the next 20-30.
>Before the United States killed him, Al-Aulaqi should have been given notice that he was wanted for treason, or another crime, and that if he refused to return and stand trial, then he would be considered a military target

Yes, and in our legal system the government notifies you by filing charges.

>Doesn’t sound like it’s the government’s responsibility to bring charges. It appears to be the individual’s responsibility to surrender.

Surrender for...what exactly? Not court, he wasn't being charged so there is nothing to surrender to. That was literally the entire point. If the government thought he was guilty of something, then charge him and prove it in court. This is not some obscure idea, our entire judicial system is based on it.
> It just means that at work, where we are all paid to be there, it probably isn't a great topic.

Sure, as long as what we compare to is the actual business we are meant to do.

> really don't want to be walking around an office and seeing someone being murdered on a coworkers monitor or have a coworker talk about the sex they had on the weekend.

Why? If our work process allows to take a break and read news (instead of just working non-stop) - it's OK to view a crime scene on the monitor. If we consider it fine to talk about the barbecue they had on the weekend it also is OK to talk about the sex they had on the weekend. IMHO. Why not?

Measuring for the sake of measuring isn't useful. Burnout may have become a catch-all term but it isn't meaningless, it means that the person is currently fatigued and action is required. It matters that the root cause is identified, it could be a health issue, an environmental issue or more probably a combination of factors. The KPIs you set as I see are arbitrarily chosen, not sure what you are measuring or why and can't even say that the goals are SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time-sensitive).
I added a note about pay, but I'll say it here too: NACE did a survey in 2021 that showed a 46.9% starting salary differential for holders of a master's in CS over those with a bachelor's.

> ..but, being so cheap, it also enabled crazier ways of using fuel […]

See:

> In economics, the Jevons paradox (/ˈdʒɛvənz/; sometimes Jevons' effect) occurs when technological progress or government policy increases the efficiency with which a resource is used (reducing the amount necessary for any one use), but the rate of consumption of that resource rises as falling cost of use increases demand.[1] The Jevons paradox is perhaps the most widely known paradox in environmental economics.[2] However, governments and environmentalists generally assume that efficiency gains will lower resource consumption, ignoring the possibility of the paradox arising.[3]

[…]

> The Jevons paradox was first described by the English economist William Stanley Jevons in his 1865 book The Coal Question. Jevons observed that England's consumption of coal soared after James Watt introduced the Watt steam engine, which greatly improved the efficiency of the coal-fired steam engine from Thomas Newcomen's earlier design.

OP is claiming that housing is a commodity. If treated as a commodity, all houses would be priced the same. Then the reality sets in and you have to deal with the fact that some houses are more desirable than others, so you need to distribute them somehow without changing the price.
Not opensource programming language warning.

I'd argue VB was worse because of it (and it's std lib) not being opensource at the time than because it was soooooo bad of a language... People cheer on HN for JS and PHP saying they are totally acceptable langs; then VB was (is) also totally acceptable.

But VB required a payment upfront and whenever you needed to upgrade tools. This is not how the world liked it: pretty much all mainstream langs have opensource tools/stdlib/ecosystems nowadays.
