This is exactly it (and ok, perhaps "life of bondage" is a bit over-dramatic).

I really value being able to sleep until I am rested and wake up without an alarm.

I also want to be able to act on things when spontaneity strikes. Whether that's doing a marathon coding session to solve a problem, staying out late with a new group of friends, or deciding I'd like to go travel somewhere today.

Also freeing up the area of my brain that is filled with perpetual worry about my employer's expectations has got to be a good thing, even if I'm not sure what would fill the void.

The anxiety and depression that come from knowing I have to sleep because I have to wake up to an alarm tomorrow so that I can solve some arbitrary problem for my employer is pretty much killing me.

The other problem is that once I tap out, I'm going to have a resume gap that may make it hard to find high paying work again in 5-10 years should the need arise. Because that's how our system works, I need to secure all the funding I need now, because I know I may not have access to it again.

We have access to all of the world's knowledge now, but I don't have time to sponge up as much of it as I want. It's like we live in this amazing future but I use it to maintain obscure software systems all day.

Obesity.

I grew up in a "deep red" area of the Midwest. It wasn't always like this, but it seems obesity is the norm now. And obesity has many health consequences. It's probably more cultural than political, though.

I think Salesforce is fine for large companies with teams of sales reps and a well staffed IT department, but it's overkill for most small to medium sized companies with just a few sales reps. If you can run on a creaky set of excel sheets, access would have been a far better and much more flexible solution. With minimal training it could be set up and run by a competent excel user.

Salesforce admin is a pain in the ass. There's mandatory updates 3 times a year that require low level software development expertise in order for the admin to understand what will break, building new functionality essentially requires tens of thousands of dollars of consultant development, and god help you if you want to run a report that involves objects that don't have a direct parent-child relationship.

I'm an analyst, and because I know how a database works, Salesforce stuff gets dumped on my desk all the time. I actively seek out alternative systems for everything it does, and would dearly love to see us drop this eye-watering expense.

I think the message of encouraging kids to feel a sense of agency rather than nihilistic despair is a good message. I wonder if giving kids agency in other matters might help them be the leaders they're going to need to be- give them the chance to make their own choices when possible.

When Magic Was Real
Why would that be hard to understand?
Poker is actually not that much different than what you describe. My father played a lot of poker in card rooms. He talked a lot about losing strategically to the fish, to keep them coming back. Without the fish, there generally is no poker ecosystem since money generally follows the button, and without particularly weak players money just tends to change hands. And since there is a rake at most tables, you need a constant influx of money just to support the play.

There is common wisdom that the rake can kill a local poker ecosystem. There can be a lot if good games for weeks or months, then all the weak players can’t sustain any longer, and all the medium players start losing and lose interest, and there’s no one left to win money from and games get harder to form.
How does this use more battery power? Seems like it just does the same work at a different time.
I guess we're circling around this question: Should schools bend to the natural tendencies of students, or should students bend to the rigours and structure of academic life?

Given that society itself doesn't bend much, I'm inclined towards the latter.
Absolutely, but the PTA at the higher performing (higher income) school pays for additional educational programs, like art, second language, science, etc. This amount is referred to in the PTA language as "the gap" in public funding for basics.

At the low performing school, the extra public funds received are often paying for support staff for serious social issues. There is little budget for the "nice to haves", and even when there is, the school staff has it's hands full managing the basics, so it's not always effectively utilized.

It's possible to move required Windows folders to a separate drive during installation. For the past 10 years, I've had my Users directory on a hard drive, leaving everything else on an SSD. As long as I don't install too many things on the SSD (like games), I've never had to worry about where everything is. Although there's warnings about 'this isn't supported', I haven't been burned.

As a recent kerfuffle about one of Louisiana's senators (Cassidy) shows: if you slice the data by race you'll see that the death rates for whites is closer to the rates of the States with good outcomes; the outcomes for black residents is much worse.

In his case he was willing to point this discrepancy out, though he immediately blamed the victims.

So if it sounds like it will sort itself out, it may end up doing so on the backs of the least enfranchised.
To be very clear about it, this is all the more impressive because Nigeria is, by and large, still a pre-industrial society. The differences in basic worldview and outlook (including attitudes towards education) brought by industrialization and modern economic development (often misattributed to "Whiteness" in divisive political rhetoric) are absolutely huge and easily overwhelm any model where "skin color" or "genetics" exogenously determine these outcomes. This is easily ascertained by looking at how individual countries in the modern West industrialized over time and went through these very changes in culture. The skin color of English lower classes did not change much from the 17th to the mid-19th century, but their culture absolutely did.

Interesting. I think a major reason for VS Code's success is their usage of web-stack, which is stable, powerful and well documented, enabling easy access to higher customizations for anyone. It will be interesting to see how much a custom UI can emulate this without html&css.
> Instead, it feels like grandiose claims about solving cache invalidation itself.

That is definitely something I worried about. But at the same time, I do think we solved the harder part of the cache invalidation problem. TAO and Memcache serves quadrillions queries a day. Based on our experience, answering the question of "why my cache is inconsistent" is the hardest thing about cache invalidation.

Cache invalidation protocols can be complicated, but some are pretty managable. You can also verify it using TLA+ if you will. But once the rubber hits the road, some cache entries tend to be inconsistent.

I definitely worry about people taking this the wrong way, but at the same time, I stand by the claim of "cache invalidation might no longer be a hard thing in computer science".
I appreciate the response, and while my initial comment might have been derailed by my cynicism, you and your team have made a really cool app! I’ve been away from the internet while on vacation and hadn’t gotten to see this.

good on you to look more carefully.. I would say that the emotion here is the health outcome.. by saying "super bad health outcome" == "that group over there" it appeals to emotions, because just about any whole person would care about health outcomes for others, and any literate person would very likely care about health outcome for themselves.

with the emotion being the health outcome response, I would tend towards Yes, demagogue.

Here's a crazy experiment to try. Try to find some decent statistics on how many lives are saved by modern healthcare in countries you think have good healthcare systems. Basically try to prove that modern healthcare, when viewed in total, is a net benefit. Keep in mind that medical error is one of the leading causes of death. And things like: you were sick and took an antibiotic. Maybe you recovered faster, but you probably would have survived even without the antibiotic.

I believe it is a benefit as a matter of faith, but I couldn't prove it to a skeptical person.

Hmm I didn't know this, so I tried it myself in Chrome's console... sure enough it works...

you see people / companies advocating for the cloud thing have huge interests in you/me - joe average developer to using cloud tools. BigCo's development workflow is cloud based because they own the IP.

IP - being the most important word. looking at world around me, IP is what makes things tick. IP is why America industrialized, IP is why American's are spooked by the Chinese.

And if a average joe like me - moves to the cloud things - where i'm using a dumb terminal n hell the browser is being streamed to me. What IP would I own. I would simply be a renter.

now me your average developer since realizing IP is the most important thing - I have resolved to go the opposite route. use text files for my notes / writings. create things locally and back them locally as well. SSD's and CD's are cheap. Desktop machines are cheap - an Alder Lake i5 is as fast.
and even better maybe instead of making software for the browser making local software with C++ to make sure it's portable and runs fast who's data is stored in a text file.
i hate vscode is written in electron, i always noticed the latency, it's good enough but it's annoying. atom was same but worse. what I also disliked about atom and sublimetext, is how you needed to install 20 extensions to get basic functionality and they weren't always compatible, with each other. Vscode approach of having most of basic functionality builtin but behind flags which can be disabled meant most people had good setup from the get go. Vscode to me was like jetbrains but faster and lighter. Although in some cases jetbrains was more robust.

If there is vscode that was written natively. I'd be so happy. Even if there is a new branch of vscode that is 6 months behind in features but is built in native it'd be huge for me.

I read that during the cold war, a common exploit was people fearing massive penalties from their own governments over small issues. E.g., some accounting error that would get them imprisoned. So the US would walk in with a few thousand $$ equivalent and have a really well positioned source that just wanted to survive some basic screw-up.

It's a good lesson in how ratcheting up punishments can be counterproductive, even or especially even, in critical areas.

I agree. Using MicroPython in medical applications is with all due respect worrisome. It's not meant to be for crucial tasks and definitely not optimal at all for MCUs. It's really meant to be for simple, hobby applications. It's too high-level (synonym of inefficient) for MCUs.
C and Assembly are the way to go for these critical applications (that's why NASA & SpaceX use C and assembly in embedded electronics). Reliability, repeatability and fast performance is key.

It took some digging, but it looks like that enable() method is defined in the C code here: https://github.com/pyston/pyston/blob/96d5d33186b81f96ce3d9a...

It calls jit_start() which I think is here and does more of the interesting work: https://github.com/pyston/pyston/blob/69b190003f14dfd2f6d276...

My daily Viva email is always asking me to let the meeting organizer know if I am going to attend some meeting that would have happened 7-10 days in the past if it hadn't been cancelled. It's always the same would-be meeting for a few days before it latches on to a new could-have-been meeting. 99% of my job involves doing things on non-Windows machines or VMs that are hosted in the cloud or some other data center, so I guess it doesn't have much material to go on for its surveillance.

It's kind of frightening to think that people are being judged on such complete garbage, but I guess as long as it is uniformly garbage then nobody will get unfairly hammered for it.

>But static typing syntax and tooling as part of the language itself is the way to go imo.

But if the typing syntax is essentially just comments in very specific places... what advantage does it bring? Sure one can use tools to interpret those comments and check types... but at that point, isn't just using typescript tooling much superior (interface declaration, type declarations, etc. not just a type between : and =)?

I will confess that I am guilty of having used JSDoc comments for quick and dirty .js scripts that I didn't want to grab the tsc compiler for, but still wanted vscode to check my types. But even being one of the likely users of this proposal, I feel that it's needlessly bloating the language.

Agreed. It does need memorization. Anyone who don't think so can try to add and multiply in hexadecimal, what is 0xA + 0xC and what is 0x8 * 0x6? It becomes quite obvious memorization is required when you try it in any other radix other than decimal(which is memorized already).
Election fraud is exactly what Donald Trump and his conspirators are about to be dragged over the coals for by the Jan 6 committee. He begged the GA SecState to cook the election in his favor. Basically the exact thing Myers was caught and convicted of in this story.

Trump made the accusation multiple times going back even to 2016 that millions of illegal votes were cast against him. The details of his allegation were never made clear. He convened a Congressional committee with full subpoena power to investigate and after a little over a year they disbanded having issued no findings nor held a single public hearing. There is certainly _some_ voter fraud that happens all the time, but it's not widespread, not coordinated and has never been plausibly suspected of tilting any election.

Kids staying at home, in overly sanitized environments, and socializing much less with other children. Their immune systems don't get "trained" as much. Not saying that you should let your child lick public restrooms knobs. But there is a balance. It is called the "Hygiene Hypothesis". I think it was niche idea a while ago but I think it is pretty much accepted now.
Comparing ballot totals to exit polling is a fairly accurate way to detect fraud (within a certain margin pf error). But increased mail-in/absentee voting, increasing the number of days on which voting occurs, etc. make it more difficult to outright impossible to perform quality exit polling any more.
An aside, I believe you only pay an exit tax if you have more than $2 million in assets.
