I actually disagree with the idea that alienation is a feature of capitalism—I think it’s a feature of an industrial mode of production that is not necessarily linked to capitalism.

Suppose there is a creative designer who develops a widget with a specific purpose, and then this widget is mass produced by humans on an assembly line who might not even get to see or understand the completed product, since they are just performing a repetitive chore on an assembly line.

One observation is that the assembly-line workers are more alienated than the designer, who understands the purpose of the widget and who produced the blueprint. However the designer is still somewhat alienated, since they don’t get to see the final product.

Another observation is that it is possible to have a capitalist society in which there is no alienation at all—a designer develops the concept of a widget, and then manually builds a small amount of the widgets by themselves (see for example Etsy).

Also, I would contend that assembly-line workers in a communist society suffer the exact same amount of alienation as those in a capitalist one.

I've heard of massive dust storms on Mars. This is the first I've heard of deadly dust. It's also bombarded by X-rays and gamma rays. So Mars is completely uninhabitable. Astronauts would need an airlock with chemical shower and secondary breathing apparatus to be able to even consider taking off their space suit. The base would have to be underground. To be clear the plan is to fly past the moon and through space for nine months for that? Sounds half baked.

Kinda silly that this is optional tooling that came from the community to solve a problem in the original implementation.

Still what I'm referring to is legit. The sheer amount of programming analogies on HN is through the roof. I see one every other day. Sure other careers like to do comparisons but the amount is nowhere near the volume of programming analogy blog posts.

There's definitely a sort of intellectual arrogance programmers have and you can feel it on HN. A lot of articles related to IQ and intelligence always get voted up and the comments become littered with self affirmations. No doubt in my mind this blog post and other programming analogy blog posts is related to this.

Very hard to relate to this perspective. Recursion is extremely useful. It definitely has practical utility, and even in many cases where one shouldn't use recursion in actual code (perhaps because it would risk blowing the stack), it's often much easier to first develop a recursive algorithm and then afterwards create an iterative implementation.

As for linked lists, obviously it's true that the cases where they should be used are much more limited than they used to be. But still, they're a very simple data structure that's easy to reason about and which software engineers are very likely to occasionally encounter in practice. I don't think there's much to be gained by eliminating them from students' education.
Another interesting potential alternative is the systems that arose as a response to the Irish banking strikes in the 1960's and 70's.

> Though the money supply did contract sharply, neither trade, commerce, nor industry came to a grinding halt.

> How? People created their own currencies, to substitute for the collapsing money supply. They kept using checks to pay one another, but then, people’s checks began trading within communities. Here’s how Antoin Murphy, one of the few scholars to have studied these strikes, which took place in the 1970s, describes it: “a highly personalized credit system without any definite time horizon for the eventual clearance of debits and credits substituted for the existing institutionalized banking system.”[0]

There is also a great chapter in Money, The Unauthorized Biography that covers it.

Obviously white and Asian men are capable of realizing that customers might feel like they are stealing items (or will be accused of stealing) in the Go store. It is ridiculous to think such an obvious concern would be invisible to people based on their race or gender.

It's also very strange to think that team members should be responsible for speaking for their race. Imagine if your team had a black engineer and your team expected him to explain to everyone "the black perspective" or "how will black people think about this". An individual doesn't represent anyone beyond themselves and, ironically, it is racist to think otherwise. A black engineer is there to do the job of an engineer, not tell you what his racial group will think. If you want to know what a demographic will think of something you use surveys, focus groups, and market research - DEI is not relevant.

When people say “inequality isn’t a problem” they mean it isn’t a problem on its own, assuming living standards are decent for most. Even Friedman and Hayek were for UBI and safety nets respectively. Healthcare, housing and education are too expensive today, even the extreme libertarians don’t deny this.

>If they ultra wealthy lived under the same system as everyone else then perhaps, but they don't. They have oversized influence of most every aspect of our lives which isn't conducive for a stable democracy.

This is unfounded. The influence of the wealthy on politics is insignificant relative to public opinion. David Shor has demonstrated that big donors are to the economic left of their party bases for both R and D. Trump and Bloomberg presidential campaigns are vivid illustrations of the limits of money in politics.

They’re forcing Musk to go through a deal he signed but doesn’t want now. Billionaires parted with half of their net worths in their divorce settlements. Neither of these would have happened in any other society in the world at any point in history.(My relatives from Asia were baffled, they asked me why these guys don’t simply bribe the judges, find legal loopholes or even use the threat of force to silence their (ex)wives.)

The wealthy in America today inherited their wealth to a lesser extent than in Europe, and again also relative to the wealthy in any society in history.

> I really want to try making a native KiCad autorouter. But I don't want to figure out the C++ plugin setup and since KiCad 6 the Python APIs seem better documented and supported anyways.

So I find this to be super interesting, particularly when it comes to parts with lots of pads that one has to route.

Python would let you iterate the algorithm quickly. It's far easier to optimize the big O notation of your autorouter than in C++, say. Once you're happy with the algorithm, then you can try to optimize the slow bits in C/C++. But even things like dicts in python are still going to be super fast.

As far as speed up goes, there's PyPy, Nuitka, and Cython, which are all interesting. There's also a restricted version of python called RPython which PyPy uses to compile everything to C.

If it's me in 2022, I'd probably go with Cython. A lot of packages uses it. It's well known, and it's (mostly) python -- mostly because it would be easier to go back and forth in python rather than switching mental contexts between Nim and C and Python.

See here for the examples.

Yeah except when they do fundraising.
> "Isn't happening" was similarly a slam against the Falcon 9's reusability prospects not long ago.

Not so. SpaceX was visibly investing in reusable boosters more than 10 years ago. Everything SpaceX has actually spent serious money on is something that has a mundane commercial application, reusable boosters particularly. There has been no comparable investment in Martian habitats.

The "if you build it they will come" argument doesn't make sense. If serious Martian habitat development only starts after Starship is flying, it will take decades to be ready. The Europeans who sailed to America packed their ships with a bunch of commercially available supplies and hoped for the best. There is no commercially available Martian habitat, countless billions of dollars and many years of development will be necessary. That's presently not happening. Even if it starts tomorrow, that development would be laughably far behind Starship development.

They're not building a rocket for customers they think maybe might exist in 20 or 30 years.
> the best estimate of the energy footprint of the manufacturing process for an item is its shelf price.

Not really? This depends on the relative price of the energy of delivery and the value of the other parts of the good. And energy is so cheap, we seem pretty comfortable wasting it.

I've noticed where I live in California most markets sell this kind of jam made in France called Bonne Maman. Not even fancy markets, but the big local supermarket chains. What is weird about this is that California is a huge producer of fruits. I can buy jam made in a nearby town at one of the fancier markets near here, but the big supermarket chain buys jam from France.

This seems like a senseless waste of energy. I refuse to buy the jam from France because it's so wasteful. There's a lot of perverse incentives in our economy, and price cannot optimize for every variable. Capitalism is not as resource efficient as some basic theories would purport it to be.

My father did not die, but when I was a very young adolescent, he went in for heart surgery at a time when same was a bit more medically dangerous than nowadays. He did survive.

Some years later, when a father and child said goodbye in an "E.R." episode at college, I (to my own surprise) went into near-hysterics and had to call him. 20+ years later, when scrolling through TikTok, someone put a similar scene from "Supernatural" in a video and it shook me hard.

Agreed. Transcribe-to-SMS is the only way.

In my work circle a protocol has naturally established itself. If you call me, I assume you want something. Otherwise you wouldn’t have bothered calling me. So you don’t need to leave a message: I will see your missed call, and I will call you back.

“Can’t pick up, call you back in 5.”

“I’m in a meeting, call you back as soon as it’s over.”

To my eyes, those don't look like qualifying the word "substantial development". If you want to seriously take Mars colonization as a survival strategy for human species, you need a way to either implant most of the modern infrastructure in a massive scale (at least for hundreds of millions, otherwise the society won't sustain by itself) or develop a novel technology to terraform the planet into a human livable form within a reasonable budget. At that moment, we can talk about Martian habitat.

> This is inferior to the pop-in for the interrupter, but superior for the interruptee

I don't see how either of those are true for phone calls.

1. It's ideal for the interrupter: they get to decide when they want your time. They want it now.

2. It's annoying for the interruptee, because you only have two options. Either you can pick up the phone now and force a hard context switch away what you were doing, or you can reject the call and spend more time later listening through voicemails. And unless you have voicemail transcriptions, you're at the complete mercy of the interrupter again.

Compare that to asynchronous text-based communication, where the interrupter can't forcefully take your time from you. They can only message you, and you can decide when to read it. Reading the message doesn't cede control of your time to them, and you can adjust the actual time of the call to accommodate whatever you're working on.
Someone today talked about "artful ambiguity" in reference to Marxism (for the Logistics movie). If capital-exploits-workers is what you believe in, then you will see it everywhere. But it's thin and unsatisfying gruel. Life is more than politics.

I deliberately pick a left-wing magazine, The Atlantic [1], for this. If anyone would apply a socialist rubric to Severance, it's them. Yet the words "capital", "Marx" and "socialist" don't even appear in it.

No it's not. Any form of government is an attempt at centralization of resources and decisions. It is an attempt to move closer to an extreme system of singular decisions with a single point of resources. You do tend to see these concentrated centralized structures within government. Leaders, central banks, executive branch, centralized resources.... etc. Although It's not fully centralized, the creation of government from no government is essentially movement in the direction of centralization. So in other words:

The point of government IS centralization. The US government is sort of an attempt at centralization with checks and balances. An attempt to make sure that the centralization doesn't become too powerful. A movement towards the extreme but not all the way.
> SpaceX was visibly investing in reusable boosters more than 10 years ago.

And their competitors laughed at the idea. ULA doubted SpaceX's reusability prospects as recently as 2020 (https://www.teslarati.com/spacex-critic-ula-ceo-reusable-roc...).

> There has been no comparable investment in Martian habitats.

Nor were they investing in lunar landers or mission equipment, until NASA bought a ride on Starship for Artemis. If SpaceX can get Starship to Mars, the idea that NASA wouldn't bother to buy some flights for some Mars landings seems nonsensical.

> If serious Martian habitat development only starts after Starship is flying, it will take decades to be ready.

So? Mars colonization is a centuries/milennia sort of thing.

That section stood out to me too. I ended up doing this a few months back while working on the playback system in my video editor Recut. I ended up rewriting that system at least 5 times. I was also learning Rust at the same time, and I had little knowledge of video going in. So it was a loop like: build something, get it working, realize I designed myself into a corner and couldn’t handle some important scenario, go back to the drawing board.

Stuff like dealing with the threads and queues, playing streams from multiple files in sync when they have different frame rates, and managing playback of multiple tracks that each have lots of cuts were some of the things that tripped me up and led to redesigns.

It ended up being a good learning experience and I’m glad I spent the time to rewrite instead of trying to forge ahead with broken abstractions. It’s still not perfect but it’s miles ahead of those first few iterations.
Yeah if you wanna drop some extra cash for the most endgame pan of all, Solidteknics sells excellent $109 "wrought iron" pans — carbon steel material, but in a single cast so there are no rivets — that more lightweight than Lodge and have long handles that don't (apparently) get hot.

Lodge is pretty good though IMO.
