There is also a parallel opposite trend happening in (the obviously not mainstream) "effect" languages, such as koka and eff.

The new theory of algebraic effect handlers will probably trickle down to the new mainstream languages of the 2030's or 2040's.
> A lot of individuals may say they are happy to pay a carbon tax, but I remember reading some research that when push comes to shove, in practice they don't actually want to pay it, it's only a survey phenomenon.

No, this is yet more corporate propaganda, misinterpreting science as usual.

People support spending their money on climate change, as you increase the amount of money the level of the support goes does down.

This shouldn't be particularly suprising.

But, this only matters if you make the unwarranted assumption that the average person would lose money with a carbon tax, which isn't the case.

So since we already have a majority when it will cost them money, we only get more support if they're getting money back.

I think this is good advice but also not the only possible path towards completing a PhD in math. I get a lot of fruitful research done while binge-watching television, for instance. The key is that you have to find something that works for you. For some that may be logging hours but I know a lot of people for whom logging hours is a hindrance. There are mathematicians who have to actively hold back from just doing research all the time, and for these types there's no point in logging hours. My point is that if you don't think the work ethic described in this article is agreeable, don't let that dissuade you from pursuing a PhD in math.

NYC is interesting in this way, in a given year living here it’s very likely you’ll spend considerable time outside or in unconditioned spaces in windy 15F/-10C as well as humid 95F/35C weather.

There are obviously places in the US with far more extreme temperature fluctuations, but most of them are fully car dependent and many people living there can wind up experiencing the weather firsthand for seconds at a time (in parking lots), unless they deliberately choose to do otherwise.

C++'s throw lets you postpone handling of erroneous condition. You throw, then sort. You can postpone sorting of causes indefinitely, basically, up to the level where all of context needed is lost.

In C, you cannot throw. You have to handle. There will be more "if" statements, that's price to pay.

I work on code in C and C++ in more or less close problem domains and C++ provokes style and/or design that is much more hard to work with.

The us is too large to have a single grid. AC can't be synchronized across that large an area, sine waves need to be in different parts of the cycle at different times and so a generator on either coast end up fighting each other.

We can and should do more high voltage DC interconnects, but that isn't the same as making the grid larger.

Yeah it eas the wrong technique, the interesting stuff is public transit and commerce driven. So there are a million JR and subway stops. If you got off at every single stop in existence and walked concentric circles around it, you'd find out the relative importance of each station as a destination and or transit hub and you'd find everything interesting and know exactly when to stop making bigger circles around a station by the reduction in things to see. And that's still an incredible mind blowing amount of land area you'd have to walk

Zoom may be kind of scummy, but the tradeoffs they made created a program easy enough for grandparents and CEOs alike to use, and that counts for something.

Classically, AI as a field was all about how to encode human knowledge in a form accessible to logical inference techniques. This involved a lot of manual entering of rules, logical propositions, fact databases, etc.

The rise of statistical learning, which can benefit from a lot more un-preprocessed data, is comparatively new.

It's not that AI didn't use data before, just that the classical models relied on a lot of data being meticulously encoded by hand. As you can imagine, this was fine for academic pursuits, but real applications quickly hit the limits of what was feasible to tackle this way due the amount of (expert) labour needed. The success of the machine learning approach is largely due to the massive scaling afforded by not requiring human intervention in every individual data point.

Every game programming story like this makes me feel like game programmers are the most undervalued programmers out there. Loads of them have very little experience, are asked to build extremely complex systems on fast moving ground, and get paid peanuts to do it.

I cannot imagine a system harder to put together than a game (maybe like... accounting software with a bunch of extra business rules?). Just so much stuff that can go wrong.
The author is considering himself part of the majority, but does not ignore the minority that does:

They are also ignoring the left-handed minority, but I think for an opinion post, it's easy to accept that such a person might just get a regular keyboard with a numpad if they need it?
As I'm sure you know, these types don't know what they're talking about. Calling someone a "red" is too old-fashioned so some people need a new thought-terminating cliche to toss around.
> Most people don’t actually care about or even notice that confusion.

You are very, very wrong:

1) Old people get very confused even when the interface changes.

2) The changes are irritating even if you know Google products

3) Change for the sake of change (someone at Google wants to get promoted) is just a waste of time, especially as the products are half baked. Maybe you are very young and your time is worthless, but most people want products that just work, with a non confusing interface. Change for the sake of change is something that busy-bodies do to prove that they are useful

4) Google has killed its own products multiple times, so at some point the stuff just stops working. Why bother using a product that will not work?

Seriously, it has been few years that everyone knows that Google does its business wrong: those on top should be removed, since it is a lot of money lost. In both of marketshare lost and lots of programmers reinventing the wheel multiple times to offer a half baked product.

Every few days I see people who cannot use Microsoft TEAMS (which has a poor interface) and I can easily see that if they used Google products, those constant unnecessary changes would make their lives miserable and make them less productive. Maybe reason why Google products are a joke in corporate environment.

I dont really use Zoom, used it mostly to see how it works - and from technology perspective it can be full of holes, but from UI perspective it is much better than the competition. Also probably wont be shut down in 3 months like Google Meet Duo Allo v5.

And my point is that you’re working from the wrong end: you can’t have a transactional storage interface when you don’t have a widely available and deployed transactional storage.

It’s easy to build a non-transactional interface atop a transactional storage, but if you don’t have the latter the former makes no sense.
Exactly.

You’d probably be better off assuming no new grid connections tbh. You can effective force a distributed energy network. It just wouldn’t work for cities.

I don’t think a lot of people outside of homesteaders or people working in energy understand.

I can spend $25k for the solar I need for my house, but I’ll be spending another $50k for energy storage. And I’m in a more southern region… if you live somewhere in Europe, particularly the north, you’d need $50k solar and $50k storage.

Btw that $50k only covers batteries for 36-48 hrs of usage. Have 10 days of heavily cloud cover, gotta pull out the diesel engine.

I’ve looked at alternatives energy stores and nothing really has capacity we need. There’s ways to cut energy usage, there’s other forms of energy capture, but battery storage is basically it for single homes.

Fly-wheels and what not might work to stabilize grids for 24-36hrs. But I highly doubt on a week of energy, for instance. So you still have the same issues as single homes. You need the ability to start up engines (so to speak).
Steve letting very little bullshit fly is probably what made Apple so special. It's great that they're adding long awaited features now, but quality has deteriorated so much. I can think of very few UI bugs from back in the day, even with jailbreak tweaks installed!

I love cooking with cast iron and have built up a decent collection over the years. More recently, I’ve also gotten into carbon steel cookware.

However… I always keep one nonstick pan in the kitchen, and it sees a fair bit of use. My practice is to buy something cheap, since I’ve found that the nonstick coating will last only so long, even on an expensive pan. By not spending much, I avoid feeling upset when it’s time for a replacement. (My current one came from IKEA, for about 15 EUR. I expect to get a year out of it.)
I once had a manager that pushed and pulled everything and everyone in all directions at once without a plan. Everytime he said he has 1000s of problems to solve. Our last meeting, before the one with HR, ended when I asked him to spontaniously name the top 10, no screw ten, just name three problems you want your ops team tackle right now. Unsurprisingly, he failed to answer. I had my meeting with HR the same afternoon, he was out a mere 4 months later.

Interesting thread. Some people are skeptical which is normal for anything new and and unfamiliar. But, some people say they just don’t want to work with people, which I would find alarming and a red flag. The most important thing when you hire someone is that you can work together as a team. Being a developer is not a solo, sitting alone job for any project of a bigger size and success.

If you actually want to do something about it, advocate for zoning reform. People buy SFH because the lack of MFH in some areas makes them a pretty sure bet appreciation-wise. If developers were more free to build duplexes/quads/ADUs or larger, the increased supply would theoretically lower rents in the area and make SFH less attractive as an investment vehicle.

Most development at very large companies happens by hordes of people who call themselves developers but do not care about development and barely understand anything they are doing. Most coding happens by copying and pasting from Stack* and then restarting the application hundreds of times and tinkering with the code mindlessly until it happens to work. Anything besides getting the "happy path" (sic!) to work is a secondary concern.

Add to it that most developers from Asia do not really expect or care about privacy and are super quick to drop any quality standards to meet deadlines. And the management that likewise does not value quality besides things that can be easily seen and typically does not tolerate any delays for anything that is not absolutely necessary.

I worked for a well known, huge Korean company. When I was there I learned they shipped a mass produced device with a telnet server with a simple default password. This wasn't done for any evil purpose -- the development team decided this would improve their ability to debug any production problems they might face. They were not trusting their own code and were looking for a quick and easy solution to deal with inevitable deluge of support tickets.
I have used cast iron and carbon steel for a while. They have their uses and I generally prefer them, but a nonstick pan is essential in many circumstances. Just watch Jacques Pepin make a French style omelette. He used a non stick pan. Who is going to disagree with that man.
> The only responsibility for the IC would be stand ups with their manager to discuss progress and agree to future timelines. The ICs wouldn't have to go to any other Agile meetings or write any business/project planning docs. Manager would scope and write all IC tickets.

I think this would end up causing negative feelings both for developers and managers. I've almost seen this in one place where we were Waterfall and it created a disconnect between the dev's understanding of the product, resulting in frustration and bad decisions (the small ones that you make during the day where it's important to have context of the product).

The other interesting thing I noticed was that managers had a lot less excuses for the higher ups and would do a lot less office politics and a lot more execution, but that ended up also not working amazingly because we've had instances of people playing only politics and winning vs. execution (surprisingly fast to get promoted when instead of defining tasks and taking care of execution scheduling, you grab a coffee with your manager's manager) and that ended up frustrating managers also.

At this point in my life I've given up on believing in both gajillion dollar corporate projects that mostly satisfy egos of stakeholders and startups that are not customer focused. I've also stopped believing in co-workers that are not user focused. I don't care both for how many mountains a manager can move, neither for the sacred 10x developer, if their talents are not put to use in the customer's name.

And, to your post's subject, I've also stopped believing in any sort of process, that is not done to deliver more value to the customer. IMHO, your vision (or any other vision) could work, or not, depending on the people involved in the process.
