What's interesting here is that as a content creator, it really does feel as if this externalizes the 'latent space' that exists in my own head. 99% of my time/skill is used in the pursuit of getting the vision of something that exists only in my mind, into a state where it can be shared with others in the physical world.

Collaborating with an external latent space and teasing certain viewpoints out of it is an interesting dance, and something that I really look forward to participating in as soon as I can get access to the tools.

I'm very curious about where the capacity for iterative refinement is/will be in the future as well. "Ok, that looks great, now can you try it with a bit more green?" etc.

I maintain a couple of personal websites, that aren't just "portfolio of work", that are my day-to-day stream of consciousness thoughts about things.

I've maintained at least one diary-like personal website since 1992-ish or 1993-ish when domains could only be registered with one company, and cost a couple of hundred dollars, and you had to talk to someone on the telephone to get one. I post about one thought a day, sometimes two!

And I've taken a lot of my "one thought a day" notes from physical notebooks and transcribed them to my website, along with photos of the notebook page. My collected thoughts go back to 1973 or so.

As a kid I didn't read or write too well, but I had a tape recorder where I thought my thoughts (I had the idea from a Dr Seuss book as I recall). I can listen to six year old me thinking about things like how airplanes fly and why would a cup made of stone float in water and realise just how dumb I was as I thought about how these things work. But it is also interesting to look back and go "wow! that's me! That's my thoughts and my voice and my notes!"

What helps with the writing is that I am under no allusions as to ever making any kind of profit or being popular. It truly is "just for me."

I'm a product manager. One of the things I'm moved towards doing with engineering teams over the years is bringing ideas when they aren't fully fleshed out sooner to engineering teams. It really helps do a couple of things- it saves time, if it is a bad idea, I found out sooner rather than later. And if it is a good idea, it gives other people the opportunity to contribute to it, making it their own as well as mine, which helps everyone on the team take more ownership of the outcome and have a better feeling of purpose in life. I think you need to earn credibility before you start doing it but once you have that credibility I highly recommend it.
i remember being surprised by how slow GROUP BY year(date), month(date) was in MySQL, despite the date column being properly indexed.

the solution was to store each of those in separate indexed columns instead of re-computing them at query time. think i set up an INSERT trigger to add these to a separate "index" table that i then joined to get the GROUP BY to be fast.

If that was a replicable strategy, that would be amazing.

The averages say otherwise and I would bet continue to do so if we check-in, in a decade.
Number 1 is valid. But becoming less relevant as you mentioned. Number 3 also valid.

Number 2 I really doubt this. Having more flexible API contracts (GraphQL) usually only makes dependencies worse, not less. Sure you can write any query you want, but how do you agree on expectations if there is no contract on the API level? Strict API contracts usually force you up-front to agree on expectations.
>Watch some livestreams of lions on youtube, what do they do? 99% of the time they just sit under a tree doing absolutely nothing, and I bet they don't feel guilty about it

Lions are at peace with the world. They sit around with clear minds, watching nature go by. They are content with the world and their place within it.

This is absolutely not the same as a human who spends 4 hours a day doomscrolling through twitter and reddit and can't help checking their phone every 5 minutes.

Every single time I've heard "GraphQL is poorly documented", it's from someone who doesn't know about Insomnia [0] (or something like it) and autocompletion.

You can traverse the docs as you write the code with the right client app, and this solves 90% of the "docs are bad" complaints about any given GraphQL API.

GraphQL APIs are many things. Poorly documented is not one of them.

Do you have something specific. For example, for things getting bad I can give you the example of roaming charges being re-introduced.

Corporatism, centralisation kind of things are big words that need explanation. It's like saying that it's red, blue and white Brexit. How poetic but what does it mean?

For example, since UK leaving EU, did the UK abolish corporations and become agrarian civilisation where everyone works for themselves? If so, what exactly prevented UK doing it before leaving the EU? Did UK abolish the central government and gave power back to the local governments? If so, what exactly was stoping UK doing it when in EU?

For me it is just hard to make a consistent effort to constantly promote my own content. Generally what I am motivated to put out there is deliberately contrarian, and that makes it even less likely for people to be interested. But whatever the reasons, after doing a couple of blog articles or pages and having almost 0 interest or comments, or maybe one shallow comment, I usually give up. There are just more interesting things to do with my time and energy.

>"The right approach for the government is to appropriately penalize the companies."

The government isn't penalizing the companies, it's penalizing the shareholders, who are the ones that suffered the inadequate disclosures!

>"Mistakes of this magnitude are often the result of multiple people making mistakes - so blaming a specific person is wrong."

Then either split the fine amongst the responsible parties, or just issue some sort of order that requires changes (such as some sort of audit) without a fine. If you can't find any specific person who did something clearly wrong, it's probably best to avoid blaming 'the company' (which is just a collection of individuals).
Keeping your coding skills sharp always helps with interviewing when changing jobs.

So what? How much of your time do you spend changing jobs, versus everything else you do?
Over regulation on many parts of the supply chain from production to transport was exposed during covid, when reporters finally started investigating.

Some examples.

We learned the lack of producers of meat at the local level, and 4 major meat producers, 2 owned by china. Allowing mobile butchers and mom/pop meat processing centers helped in some states.

Trucking industry at ports in california showed a bunch of issues, union jobs at cranes, non overlapping shifts, limited warehouse space, limited cargo container space, lines to get cargo containers, long lines and lack of roads into and out of ports and depots.

The dumping of perishable goods made for wholesale that cant be turned into retail consumer goods. The lack of consumer sized containers.

Just in time delivery meaning many ingredients stopped entire production lines.

Price hikes by middle men in the meat industry actually did a price hike on beef, while paying farmers less. Many states already have lawsuits and investigations into the price gouging on beef.

Gas prices due to state gas taxes, limited oil supply, trucking insurance, driver retirement, while allowing mexican trucks on the road who pay less in operational costs. I read the average age of a truck driver is retirement age already. And truck driver union is one of the largest unions out. Then you put CARB EPA controls on trucks, and truckers have to buy NEW TRUCKS to deliver goods in california. Most people dont have 150k-200k to drop on a new truck, so they just avoid california.

State licenses, permits, inspections, pushing artificial limits on cottage foods and small/urban farmers. Or even bans on products, such as raw milk or unpasteurized ciders.

Taxes on inventory, double taxing on ingredients, triple taxing on the producer/shipper/wholesale cycle. Taxes add up, and someone has to pay.

Theres so much more, thats causing all these problems, and inflation/covid/greed/taxes/regulations/supply chain is really starting to show with insanely high prices.
I don't want thirty-three-thousand dollars.

I want thirty-two-thousand and nine-hundred dollars.

I want thirty-four-thousand and one-hundred dollars.

The human brain is good at picking up on alliteration, you don't want them focusing on the alliterative number, you want them focused on the smaller "hundred dollar" number.

Unless your hundred dollar number is alliterative. I want thirty-four-thousand and twenty-two dollars. But generally I only use that when buying antiques.
If you live in the boring suburbs where you have to drive everywhere to do things and see people, then yeah there's basically nothing to do except watch television and browse the internet.

My general theory of existence is that your environment makes up a huge portion of your overall wellbeing. Boredom, happiness, depression, anxiety - it all comes from your environment.

If you set your life up in such a way that the only thing to do is browse the internet, then yeah... you're going to waste a lot of time on the internet. Trying to block the sites, to resist the temptation, etc. is not going to work if there's nothing else to fill your time with.
Competition? Profit motive?

If they go too far one way, people will use other banks. If they go too far the other, they waste money.

Also, there comes a point where they could just invest that money in someone else rather than offer the service themselves, and make more money. That keeps things from going too far that direction.

And finally... Deciding things is hard. When someone else decides things for everyone, legally, it's an easy choice to follow it. Most of the time that's price fixing and is illegal.

Historically, real estate has always appreciated at a health rate except during a handful of tail events. It’s less speculation and more allocating capital elsewhere versus dead capital in your home (and if the interest rate spread between the note and your other investment growth opportunities is significantly robust to make the effort worth while).
I found buying new cars is an excellent waste of money. Young cars repossessed or returned early from a lease are good value, as are cars that are about 5 years old with a hair over 100K miles on them. That psychological 100K is enough to knock a good bit off the value.

Another thing in that book that's helped me is the suggestion to make your first bid 65 % of the maximum price you're ready to offer. Second bid 85 %, then 95 %, then your maximum offer.

It's not that these numbers are magical in any way, it's just that for me it's convenient to have a rule ready so I don't have to expend mental energy on what numbers to say, and I can instead use that energy on coming up with how to present them.

Knowing the steps I'll take to the final offer ahead of time also makes me slightly more comfortable entering such a low bid to start out with.
Cuis is a really interesting incarnation. It's quite stripped down, and Juan, the creator, has done a lot of work to simplify things as much as possible. He has even stripped down Morphic and has an early working version of its "successor," which is vector based.

"to the point where I question the most basic things in coding"

What are those things?

I maybe have a similar experience. I question every little detail that may add unnecessary complexity and I see those things as potentially limiting to overall outcome. Controversially those can be things like overuse of React's hooks leading to unwanted patterns, or Vue's special string syntax or Redux's issue with thunks, or MobX's OOP god like objects. I work on a large TS codebase. I have a strong opinion about how the code should look like, but it's discouraging to see how others don't pay enough attention to understand the long term effects of some unwanted patterns that lead to technical debt. Sometimes I think that my colleagues confuse simple vs easy.

Also, I wouldn't rush to diagnose burnout or anything like that. It might be as simple as accumulation of experience leading to higher expectations. Nothing wrong about that.
> This is a topic I truly want to become more mainstream knowledge. Wealth inequality only decreases notably during market corrections, which the Fed is determined to prevent at all costs [0].

I don't think any action the fed takes can reduce wealth inequality because of the simple reality that there is a capital class, and a class without capital.

Once one has capital, they can take any direction of the market in response to any market condition.

It "reduces" only in the sense that asset values decline for passive holders, but its hardly a different reality for those with negative/zero/five-figure net worth and the whims of those with 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 figure net worth.
> The author has now written literally thousands of words that boil down to “I think the cops should be able to put those 28 people in jail even if the DA disagrees.”

* I don't think he's said quite that

* I don't agree with what he's said entirely. I believe civil injunctions have a place in law enforcement, but they need to be used carefully. I suspect you support them in some circumstances, too.

* Even if he did say that, it doesn't invalidate the rest of what he said. It's worth looking at rates of admission to prison vs. prison terms to better compare US jurisprudence to the rest of the world.

> When people complain about “prosecutorial discretion” without talking about campaigning and voting for another DA

I think these people are looking forward to voting for another DA and advocating for other policy approaches being used by DAs.

BTW, prosecutorial discretion makes me super uncomfortable for other reasons. Often it means the good-ole-boys club being immune to prosecution for offenses. Sometimes its use is conducive to justice and the rule of law, and a whole lot of time it's not. At least here it is being used in ways that are not reinforcing power structures.

> “Freedom and liberty means that the police arrest people that I don’t like! Even if society in general doesn’t want the police to have that much power, who cares? I, Supreme Understander, am more worthy and human than them!”

Parodying someone else's point and extending it to hyperbole is not conducive to productive discussion, but it's great as a tool to mock people.
I am not talking about the customers. Of course they are not supposed to understand it. I am talking about the system design. And microservices do not solve problems in most companies, just create new ones. Distributed systems did not magically become simpler to reason about just because there is Docker.
The major problem with GraphQL is that it tries to replace REST, instead of augmenting it. REST is a damned fine model, and arguably what every web API should use.

I guess it wouldn't have been as much fun to augment REST with query language than to invent a new one.
No I wouldn’t pay for privacy. I consider the arrangement in ads for free services to be fine in my case. Others may feel differently.

Sounds like you could use some game theory lessons.
Here's a few answers, in order of likeliness, IMO.

1) Some spam services (think Fiverr backlinks or other low-quality marketing like that) get paid for getting links to appear on a page: it doesn't matter if it's nofollow or a low-quality, obvious spam link. They just want to meet their quota and get paid. They're essentially taking advantage of desperate businesses who want to build up their links.

2) Even obvious spam links get some clicks, if only out of people clicking by accident or out of curiosity or boredom. If you have some dumb process that can get you 1,000 nofollow blog comments scattered around the web a month, and each of those links gets just 1 real click a month, that's not a bad outcome if it's a repeatable, semi-scalable process.

3) Nobody except Google knows exactly how their algorithm works, but is there actually any proof that nofollow links don't have some benefit to sites for search engine appearance? Perhaps even chance of a marginal sliver of a benefit for spamming out links is considered better than nothing.

Okay Google Reader specifically died. But honestly it wasn't all that great. There are dozens of other RSS readers that still work fine.

I wonder if this is why the internet hasn't led to the dramatic increase in productivity that one would have predicted a global communications network would have produced? Instead we are turning ourselves into mice with a dopamine feed on tap.

Maybe we need to find ways to value creation far more than consumption. Missing new and cool ideas is peanuts in comparison to creating something from nothing, whether that be art, technology, or friendship.
