As a city dweller I won't be so sure. Most of the noise I hear on the cement road is from the tires, and those big fugly tesla suv-sedan things are loud when they roll up with their 5000lb of weight. Most of the PM2.5 we are left with today is from tires anyhow thanks to the catalytic converter and unleaded fuel. That part isn't going away. To be honest I wish the climate crisis would promote people into lighter vehicles and mass transit versus just more of the same unsustainable patterns, but here we are. The green thing to do now is to replace your working car that is already built and delivered to your door with one 2000lbs heavier. Seems like green washing more than actual action to me. You would think bike lanes everywhere would be an easy win given how cheap they are, but its like no one really cares about doing anything but taking the car everywhere.

In that case I don't think I understand what you mean by:

> Meta is just trying to make their problem someone else's problem.

It sounds like you agree that leap seconds themselves are a problem for people besides Meta?
There is no need for UTC to continue inserting leap seconds. When they commit to stopping, everybody can relax: irritation removed.

Telling people to use TAI is telling them to have a different time from everybody else. The whole point of civil time is specifically that other people use it. Using TAI does not free anybody, because anytime you need to interact with outside, you are back in the nightmare.
> If dUT1 can become either negative or larger than 1,

Negative values should already be accounted for, afaict.

> UTC is maintained via leap seconds, such that DUT1 remains within the range −0.9 s < DUT1 < +0.9 s.

I can't imagine why it would ever be constrained to abs(dut) < 1, as that does not appear to be a hard spec anywhere, it's just the goal. But I could see some really stupid implementations, so maybe.

Marketing and advertising is largely a propoganda game anymore. I don't disagree that there's value in awareness, discovery, and solution/need matching--I don't think any engineer is going to be upset if you hand them the perfect solution to their problem at a reasonable cost: they're going to take it and use it and move on.

The issue is that those marketing and advertising are only partly about correct match making, they're also about deceit and the underlying goal is to drive revenue and ultimately profit in. Correctly matchmaking a need with your solution is just a side effect, ultimately they want to maximize how much they can extract from the population. Sometimes that's in providing a solid recurring solution, sometimes that deceiving someone to grab a few short term purchases, sometimes it's convincing someone they need something they don't and an array of other unscrupulous strategies.

The issue is that in a competitive market, lying and deceit is often a relatively low cost effective strategy. You ultimately end with someone in the market who will stretch the truth to make their solution appear better than it is. Competitive forces make better solutions lower the bar and follow suit to some degree, either inflating their solution or debunking dubious claims from others (not too common due to liable cases).

So we get the race to the bottom of advertising which is why now I can't believe anything that isn't highly regulated and even then have to pick through each word for ambiguities that may be hiding some truth. I'm perfectly fine if you provide me a nice list of solutions I need that make my life easier at a reasonable cost. I'm not so fine when your goal is to pretend to do this while just looking for ways to extract wealth from me.

I didn't upvote it, but I think the product does inspire discussion about why we don't have basic important features like mandatory "last accessed" metadata on external state sources. Think of the number of hours of pain due to someone being "sure" a database/api/resource wasn't used, and then removing it. I'm not really put off by the advert for that reason.
I'm confused by your "major cognitive dissonance" comment.

What you describe appears to reduce variable costs (time spent reviewing) while increasing fixed costs (context-switching). That may increase code reviewer usage, but that doesn't necessarily increase system throughput or reduce WIP.
> while absolutely loathing marketing in general

You're mostly describing bad or poorly targeted advertising. It's not only a cost on society but also a huge and largely avoidable waste of the businesses' resources. It's frustrating to see so many businesses squandering their limited promotional resources on poorly targeted advertising that is certainly under-performing, if not actively damaging their brand.

It keeps happening because too many rank-and-file marketers are incompetent at their jobs and too many business owners don't understand how to effectively measure and manage the performance of the marketing department.
Searched Amazon for linen pants, 2/20 were cotton, most others were made of "cotton linen". Then googled cotton linen. Turns out its a blended fabric that avoids the disadvantages of both:
https://www.yorkshirefabricshop.com/post/what-are-the-advant...

Most "linen" material is blended. So actually turns out Amazon is inferring what you really want.

The "facts" that people need in their products are actually really difficult to determine. People don't want linen pants, they really want cotton linen. And for the 600w solar panel, what other criteria does it boil down to? I think is the reason there is no decent standard for product categorisation, there is literally too much to quantify and the consumer won't/can't be bothered to navigate such categorisation.

It seems that you missed the point behind this statement: You can disagree but, indeed, that can only happen after you've heard me out.

The argument being made in TFA (and by John Stuart Mill) is that an opinion can only be rationally disagreed with after its been heard and understood. I'm all for an argument against that point but you should consider how much you're talking around that point rather than to it.

You can think the way you do all you want but you're misunderstanding if you think John Stuart Mill's argument is anything other than that it is irrational to do so.
I think a lot of this conversation is getting tied up in knots around some new terminology.

For years, a big part of my process for evaluating a new idea was to ask questions and mentally argue for and against various propositions. This might force me to read or think a bit more, but that process almost inherently tries to find the strongest (by whatever values constitute 'strong' to me) version of a point of view.

Is it foolproof? No, I find new arguments and facts.

But I do generally find it easier to see where other people are coming from in a discussion because I can usually reference back to my own interior dialogue to see where the idea at least could have come from (whether it did or not).

Is that steelmanning? I have no earthly idea, but it works for me.

I'm sitting here in awe and deep gratitude (oh emotion). Thank you for saying this.

I remember reading a book about transformational leadership by Bob Quinn, a professor at the University of Michigan, and talking about how many people in academia pressured him to not use the first person perspective in his book and how he proceeded to use it anyway.

I love the community here and worry so often that if I type something, it will be perceived as too emotional, too flowery, too subjective, etc, so even I, a person who has dedicated the last 10 years of his professional life to communicating emotion, balks to express how I'm feeling here.

edit: oh, and I studied electrical engineering at a very good school for a few years and did well at it, and maybe I feel the need to say that because I think sometimes people think emotions are soft and fluffy and think people who believe in emotions may not come from the "hard sciences" (understanding the near infinite combinations of emotional interactions seems to be a pretty hard science to me).

he was one of the few because the idea that monopolies were good for consumers is about a 5th grader's level of thinking. in a perfect world where monopolies serve a single, narrow segment, don't overreach into adjacent markets or sociopolitics, and there's no general uncertainty or strife, you might argue they'd be a more efficient than multiple market participants, but we live in a dynamic and ever-changing world where that kind of thinking is laughably simplistic. monopolists can't resist distorting markets for their own benefit.

And when the people who want to monetize the community take over, curation tools are deliberately hobbled, and the community changes accordingly - always, IMO, for the worse.

I understand that frustration, but there are layers to benefit of the doubt. Sometimes giving BotD involves changing the conversation topic because an understanding is not going to be reached on the current one. the best way to think about it is that the other person exists over a period of time, and maybe right now with you they are not their best self - for whatever reason.

I dont enjoy casting people into out-groups, but I understand its appeal and necessity for some people. However, I dont give BotD for the other persons benefit. I do it for my own peace of mind and because I find it yields better conversations overall. Sometimes conversations go nowhere, or people deliberately try to manipulate. Those conversations yield nothing, but that's okay. No one owes me anything, afterall. there's always the future.

I find the best way to keep people open to changing their minds about something either now or in the future is to make them feel like they are free to support whatever they want. Then I act as a source of information and act as a safe zone for thought-exploration.

People do not enjoy feeling hunted. and that goes for educated people hunting uneducated people in order to teach them something or else be out-casted. I think a response of "fuck you, go ahead and outcast me" to that would be pretty normal.

I would much prefer in-grouping people with proper differentiation. "so and so is a great cook!" instead of "so and so doesnt understand climate change and couldnt hold a rational conversation with me about it that one time so I dont associate with them anymore and if they die then good riddance". People want to be validated. Sometimes finding something to validate someone on rather than attack them on the points of disagreement can help reshape their identity. they might never agree with you, but maybe you can move them towards ignoring the topic entirely within their lives in favor of other things that are better aligned with the good of society.

Reading this article, it seems entirely about taking initiative changing your own approach, without an explicit expectation. Asking someone else to star-man is expecting them to change for you, without showing any compassion or respect for their humanity or opinion. It presents a clear assumption that their approach to life is wrong, and so they should adopt yours. You're creating a setting where they cannot agree with you without also accepting inferiority and invalidating their entire life perspective. You leave no room for incremental growth or self reflection.
Ah, that is a distinct style. Do you think they commissioned an artist to perform such an exact copy?

This is actually what the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) does. It's the successor to NTP, so it improves on some of NTP's mistakes. The protocol uses TAI, but also sends the TAI-UTC offset so the computer can display times in UTC.

This doesn't make sense to me. YAGNI doesn't really relate to product management. When a PM talks about future extensions of the product, they're literally stating that "we're gonna need it". You can disagree with that, and argue why you won't need that feature, but that disagreement is separate from YAGNI.

In short, you shouldn't refer the PM to YAGNI (since it's completely irrelevant) and instead discuss your ideas as to why those features are not necessary.

What helps me the most is to point out to the PM that software development is done better when engineer has an understanding of the whole system. So, I tend to ask PM to spell out the entire system as they desire, instead of spelling out the MVP and future extensions separately. You can first discuss what's the end-goal with the product, and then discuss what belongs in MVP, or earlier versions of the product.
The book analogy you use isn't very accurate. Even if you merge chapters and paragraphs like that, you still read it sequentially. Just in a less comfortable way.

Which is not at all like a modern codebase that is modular, abstracted, etc. If you're new to a codebase, and want to understand one particular feature, you'd likely need to jump back and forth across 10 files.

It's not far-fetched to say that makes it difficult to understand.

Yes. Universities, and higher education in general (in the US) has optimized to capitalistic gains. And as a result the institutions are happy to accept the funding guaranteed through the government - this is actually preferable.

It should be easy and cheap to get a good, extensive education. But again, optimized for capitalism, the institution favors money.
This perfectly articulates a lot of frustration I've felt with marketing, and why "why don't you want to be told about things you would enjoy?" is not a good argument in its favour. Thank you.

I think you are being overly negative. Being more concerned with problems we are most familiar with is natural and not at all a "character flaw". Caring more about people we personally know than strangers isn't any kind of moral failure. The world is full of suffering and problems, and it is simply impossible to give the same level of concern to all. So we focus on our inner circles. It isn't a "deep tribal impulse..satisfied only at the exclusion of others". It is simply that the world is very big with very big problems and no one, not even the kindest, most caring individual among us, can give equal weight to all problems and all suffering.
Not everybody would "ditch UTC for TAI". Some would, some wouldn't. Now you cannot know whether you will match anyone.

I assumed Teslas had poor fuel efficiency due to their size, but then I found this:

https://evtool.ucsusa.org

The Model 3's (mid range 2020) MPGe-CO2 is a bit better than a BMW i3 (2018). The i3 is a little euro city car thing.

They carefully optimized the BMW for weight, and also have some funky custom ultra efficient tires. For example, the frame is made of (hemp - supposedly lighter) fiberglass and carbon fiber, and they didn't offer power seats. It has a tiny trunk / no front trunk. It only gets EPA 135 miles per charge.

The BMW and Tesla are both much better than a 2022 BMW i4, Nissan Leaf, or Polestar 2. They're a bit better than the most recent Fiat 500e, which is closer to the i3's size.

Tesla's energy efficiency vs. size is really impressive.

So it's not to make it easier to change things? Otherwise what's the difference, in difficulty to change things, between using a member in 20 places outside of the class and 20 places inside the class? It's the same amount of code to change if you change the member.

> But no one outside the class/module can directly access it

Everyone can access all the code.

> those outside users will not be impacted

What do you mean that they will not be impacted? If I change the internal array and all the places where it's used, nobody might even notice it. Or is the assumption that one team can only change inside the class and other teams can only change outside of the class? Remember that we assume that everyone has access to the all the code.

2.

> it's about places and the number of them.

So again, is private a way to tell programmers to reduce the number of places they use the member in so that it will be easier to change it?
