I think the point of the article is that sanctions as an instrument of attrition have the same problems as strategic bombing as an instrument of attrition: it works, but causes a lot of collateral damage that doesn't contribute much to attrition, so if you hope to achieve quick results by turning the enemy's civilians against their military, you'll be disappointed.
In my experience, debuggers are only useful in stepping over someone’s code. In your own code, a logging^ output is simply faster to read and reason about. It is like a trace of debugger, but you don’t have to set up sessions with different watches and conditions every time you start a project. I rarely want to “step”, I want to see the path. That “still debug using print()” part is misleading. Debuggers suck by design. Loggers are the better debuggers.

Also, if you don’t log and someone asks you “what was that yesterday” (not necessarily an error), good luck with your debugger-only approach. Logs are everything - ask your sailor, pilot, vehicle maintenance guy, credit manager.

If I was forbidden to log and was asked how to make a debugger better, I’d say that it should use #preprocessor directives right in modules, in which I could set up watches, object dump conditions, i.e. essentially logging. Please realize that at the end of the day all debugger does is printing something conditionally. But then why not just use plain ifs and prints (and few “if (DEBUG_ENABLE)” in case you want to omit it from the executable).

^ doesn’t matter if it is console or some service, as long as you can see it in real-time
On the idea that 'wild men' are superior fighters, and that hard times breed strong men, strong men make good times, good times breed weak men, and weak men make hard times. There is a nice (but long) series of blogposts: https://acoup.blog/2020/01/17/collections-the-fremen-mirage-...

It brings up how many times this idea was brought forth by people frustrated by the limitations of civilization, who wished to convince their peers they would be better off as a wilder people.
I think there was a bit of a backlash against sauces from the gen-x and millennial crowd, and that may explain why they can’t make gravy. Popularity and fashion explains a lot, and gravy was NOT popular during the gen-x and millennial eras. I think this is just because we got bad TV dinners drowning in sauce, nothing more or less than that. The baby boomers I know had a similar backlash against canned goods—boomers had plenty of awful canned Lima beans made into casseroles growing up, and it put many of them off canned goods in general, for better or worse.

Just another example of fashion in food—lard is coming back in fashion as an ingredient in home cooking, and in the UK, brown sauce is going out of fashion.

> Is it a law of nature that whenever workers do well, the Fed has to curb it? That seems like a deliberate policy choice made not with the average person's interests at heart.

It is a less-spoken about flaw of the economic system we live in.

In a resource-constrained planet, we just cannot have too many people demanding too many resources. Under the current system, most people cannot consume above average resources except a few successful capitalists and systematic holders of power.

The fed is merely trying to reduce inflation but the society is structured in a way such that only the common man suffers inordinate costs to their lives. The select few people have entrenched their positions in society, thus they will never suffer extreme consequences in a fed induced downturn.

This systematic disproportionate affect is what causes unrest in society. If the wealthy lost money proportionate to their gamble and literally fell on the streets, shoulder to shoulder with the commoner, most people wouldn't have a problem with a fed downturn.

I'm no expert and I find both positive and disconcerting points in cryptocurrencies so I am not sided on this issue.
What is perplexing me is the fact that more or less every discussion on the topic is centered on the dollar price (or another government currency) of the cryptocurrency in question.
I'm curious to be presented a counterargument but if it was a real currency and not a speculative asset (not to criticize) why would it be the center of discussion?
For example main focus over the Euro (except in specific cases such as Forex exchange for example) is not about conversion to another currency because it is a widespread and accepted way to settle your debts while cryptocurrencies are not there yet(?).
In my current vision the way it will be cryptocurrencies over cryptoassets will be the day the conversion will be a secondary issue as it will suffice in itself because it's an organic (really) widespread way to extinguish debt for good & services consumption.

There are some other great examples in the book as well, like this gem:

What Ragnar is supposed to have said as he died in King Ella's snakepit, according to this second version, is: Gnyðja mundu grísir, ef galtar hag vissi. One of the things that has always struck English translators of Norse is that it seems on the surface really rather easy to translate, with words which are unexpectedly familiar. But then one isn't quite sure what they mean. In this
case grísir means greasies, little pigs, piggies, while gnyðja is clearly onomatopoeic and means grunt, or even, arguably, "go oink oink". And what Ragnar is saying - grimly, roguishly, perhaps with a nod and a wink - is, "the piggies would grunt if they knew of the old boar's death". He, of course, is the "old boar", and the "piggies" are his sons.

Tis not fear.. I've bluetooth for my IPhone.

Hell about 12 years ago I was writing bluetooth drivers for pumping trucks and PocketPC devices.

It's just practicality for a desktop I am tethered to the chair when I use my desktop. There is little point IMHO in asserting I could use the device if I were more than a few meters from it.

I have zero (and I mean zero) battery life issues. You've never had a connection issue? I mean in 15 years I have never spent more than 5 seconds connecting. And can you honestly say you've never run low on batteries? Never.. not once.
The layouts are extremely purposeful. There are books written about how to lay out grocery stores. They do the same kind of A/B testing on store layouts that Amazon does on the “buy it now” button. It’s no accident that there are three different places in the grocery store to buy cheese, or that produce is at the front of the store and milk at the back, or that candy is next to the register and potato chips are on the end caps.
$100 is $100, you seem to comment from a position of privilege. When I learned programming, in my early 20s, that was close to my monthly salary. Granted I've been a paid programmer for more than 15 years now and I make more than that, but, even so, seeing as app development is not what brings me money it looks like a waste to me to throw $100 at something each year so that I'd have the privilege of running my code on a piece of hardware I already own.

And let's say that maybe I'm a cheap bastard, but the reality remains that $100 is still a lot of money for a lot of young people around the world who have just gotten into programming.

We do talk about Danegeld and Norsemen, not Vikinggeld and Vikingmen, from the later age.

I worked with a guy from an area of Britain well known for its “Viking” settlements. Whilst at university, his DNA was tested as part of an historical study. He informed me that despite the passage of a thousand years there has been very little dilution of his Norse blood. He was very blonde, but otherwise quite short and peaceable.

Blur Tools for Signal (2020)
Privilege is the concept that being born into your social standing, race, gender, etc may confer subtle (and not-so-subtle) benefits. Affirmative action does not solve discrimination toward Dalits, it's one of many reactions & mitigations to it.

Even if you have affirmative action, if you feel like you're going to work or school in a hostile environment, this is a disadvantage to you. Psychological safety is one example of a privilege (e.g. women in silicon valley have inherently less psychological safety than men in the workplace because there are more men, and enough of them make unwanted advances with high enough frequency to force them to think about it).

Dalits have to deal with the stress of potentially being treated differently on the basis of their caste. Even if laws say "you can't discriminate," that doesn't change the interactions they have to have. And even if only a small number (let's say 1%) of people are discriminatory, but you go to a school with 300 people, you're now dealing with 3 folks who you're very uncomfortable around and may bully or hurt you. That's still going to suck. Privilege is not having to think about any of that.

Another example is being gay. You might say "well if you're gay and you live in SF, you are worry free!" But at work, school, or even at the grocery store there could be people who harbor discriminatory feelings and even unconcious biases against you, and it can affect how they treat you. If you're straight, you're lucky (privileged) not to have to deal with that. You also are lucky (privileged) that you can visit Alabama without fearing for your life. I mean, unless you're a straight black man and you encounter police in Alabama. Again, your expectations given that situation are a matter of privilege.

The reason folks harp on privilege so much is that privileged folks often say stuff like "X doesn't happen to me or in my proximity, so it doesn't happen ever." But the only way to know it _really_ doesn't happen is to exist as someone who lacks those privileges and to see what that's like. Since we can't do that, everyone argues about the validity of minority folks sharing their personal experiences.

There are also levels to it, as with anything. Within minority groups, there can be folks who have more relative privilege (e.g. black men vs black women, or dalits vs brahmins, or dark skinned vs light skinned black folks). Most people have some privileges relative to other people, so it's good for us to all understand what those things are when we interact with one another. We already do some amount of this very naturally (e.g. unless you're an asshole, you probably won't tell your poor friend to just buy better clothes if you know they are less privileged than you, and you might not expect your female friend to walk to your place through the city at night).
> at the end of the day all debugger does is printing something conditionally

This ignores an awful lot of nuance. If I’m stepping through an algorithm interactively and deciding on the fly what I want to pay attention on a given iteration (or which iteration I want to start paying attention at), or running until a particular thing of interest changes, or any number of debugger scenarios, you can argue that logging all such info all the time and then poring over the output in a log technically gives the same information, but at that point you are positively drowning in data. A debugger gives you the ability to dynamically change what you care about “logging” as your idea of what you need to know changes. I feel like nobody who has ever ever experienced a truly fast (perf-wise) and fluid debugging experience would ever deny how nimble it feels and how you’re never going to get there by deciding ahead of time what is important to log (or by logging absolutely everything).

I also think a lot of people are tainted by the debugging experience in a lot of more modern languages. Golang, python, even Java.. the debugger perf is miserable. Give me msvc 6 and three Fn keys and it feels like you are controlling the processor in real-time.

Many people are controlling their insulin pumps via phone and watch apps: https://github.com/LoopKit/Loop

The app tries to predict blood glucose in the future (drawing on CGM, food intake, lots of parameters and other data) and based on that either automatically injects insulin, or asks the user to confirm.

People need to compile the app themselves because the liability in the case of adverse effects is insanely high.

It’s a highly driven community. I’ve seldom seen such a useful and well supported application of modern tech.

According to the model author, this is less about GPT-4chan being more truthful, and more about TruthfulQA not being a good benchmark. Possibly this result is due to the fact that the benchmark treats uninformative or irrelevant answers such as "No comment" or "It's raining outside" as being truthful.

It's easier to simply buy a machine with a better keyboard than to memorise a whole new set of keychords that I won't be using anywhere else.

I know I do. And I know I used to feel a bit guilty about it, that a real software engineer would use some fancy debugger. There are plenty, I work at a FAANG. But as others have pointed out, printf is often the best approach. It's iterative and repeatable. I don't feel at all guilty that's it's my go-to approach now.
You're playing semantics, and worse you're playing semantics with people from a different country, of course they're going to use words differently than you.

The cave parable always confused me. This blog-post made it click. I think the 'secret passage in the cave' is just a very bad stand-in for knowledge. Perhaps a maze would be better. But the parable also focuses to much on 'creating false transcripts' without explaining why being able to fake it makes it 'zero knowledge'.

>Everything you have written is wrong.

I think most of your counterpoints have been entirely disproven by other posters, but I'll chip in a few more points

>Gas is very efficient. If you have the choice of burning gas at a power station (which is how a lot of electricity is generated now a days) and piping it directly into people's homes for the end goal of generating heat, piping wins every time. The inefficiencies of converting gas to electricity and transporting that electricity are significant and well nown.

This is only true for an energy mix using 100% gas, which is dumb, outdated and rapidly vanishing. Given the very small efficiency difference in gas -> stove to gas -> electricity -> induction, as soon as you have merely a few percentages of renewables, gas becomes the clear loser. The more of the grid we move to renewables, the more gas loses out, and the trend towards renewables is undeniable merely on the economics of it.

That's only covering the cooking-case. Heat pumps are several times more efficient than gas heating down to very low temperatures, I'm really not sure how you can be so wrong on the facts for that point.

>Additionally, I don't know how anyone who has cooked on gas and electric can claim electric is superior. I will grant that a very good electric (ie, induction) _might be superior to a very bad gas, but have used a lot of examples of each and would choose gas every time (and to demonstrate am not ideological about this, always prefer electric ovens over gas).

Whatever small preference people at large have for gas cooking is dwarfed entirely by the list pf drawbacks it has, and that's not even involving the environmental aspects - completely wrecking your indoor air quality is enough of a reason to disregard gas cooking as a technology entirely. Having to risk gas leaks is another aspect that is bafflingly dumb.

>Heat pumps are also a vastly overrated technology which only work for very well insulated houses with an HVAC system which keeps the rooms ventilated artificially.

You very clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

>l am big on electrification - I'm a Tesla shareholder. but the carbon benefits of electric heating over gas are minute. The Green agenda should avoid battles where the perceived detriment to people's quality of life vastly exceeds the provable environmental benefit.

'The Green agenda' - jesus christ.

Any imagined quality-of-life difference between gas cooking and induction is trivial nonsense.

Also, Tesla is not a climate solution, fwiw.
As someone working in big tech, this is very far from truth. In any questionable case there are endless legal and privacy reviews that catch 99% of possible transgressions. What you see is the 1% that slipped through this process.

> Besides that, they probably have bigger fish to fry than some program that is used by a tiny subset of the general population.

That's exactly the reason why MS would be on the safe side and not break any laws in this case. They could be a bit more daring if it benefitted them, but in this case there's literally no benefit except improving the software that they are giving out for free.
