This is a bit confusing, and, every time I go back to do something with it, it changes. The documentation isn't clear and StackExchange/Medium often don't list the versions very well.

Old companies often die of bureaucracy - due to their own power and incumbency, they just keep making money, hiring people, doing stuff.

But in this era, the people are 'smart' and now we have the web which allows for infinite churn.

Everything I go to touch has 'changed' - from my own iPhone, Google Play Console etc.., to the packages in my build, in addition, the layers of complexity are so bad much of this requires specialization.

I think we need to start to recognize the cost of churn and complexity because right now we're externalizing it.

When you release V12, you can't just forget that V11 exists. V12 only exists in the context of V12.

For some reason, very smart people have a hard time with this I suggest it maybe organizational.

Python v2->v3 was a bit of a disaster and I would argue, largely avoidable; I'd like to know why they went so wrong ...
Conservatives aren't a monolithic voting bloc, unlike what the media tells you.

There are conservatives who are okay with legal and high skilled/high paid immigration (which I am one). No one is stealing highly paid, trading, fintech, programming jobs, with above $200k/year salary here.

I can confidently say that ALL (100%) of conservatives, are not in favor of illegal immigration, and not in favor of low skilled immigration.

Some other points that conservatives are (some of these are libertarian, but conservatives and libertarian often have similar interests), which are aligned with me:

- Economy matters, bring back local jobs, bring back local manufacturing

- Small government, less government spending, less taxes for useless government spending, less wars, less meddling with other countries problem

- Personal freedom and responsibilities

- Self sufficiency

- No to unrestricted abortion

- No to stimulus checks

- No to constant lockdown

- No to UBI

- No to student loan forgiveness

- We can define what is a woman and what is a man

- No to defund the police

- All Lives Matter, including Asian and White lives

A lot of immigrants actually have the same interests aligned with conservatives, based on the points above.

I think immigrants know firsthand how it feels like to:

- Have incompetent government, corrupt government, corrupt media

- Have freeloaders everywhere taking advantage of the system, we are here to work, to make money, not to support those who don't

- Have violence on the street as a result of police have no teeth

- Asian immigrants, experience bias in not being hired/accepted into school, due to Affirmative Action and Diversity Inclusion practice. Asian immigrants on average, economically, actually less better than Blacks

So we don't want the countries where we immigrate to, to avoid the problems in the first place, to have the problems we want to avoid.

Immigrants also, prefer traditional gender/sex in society. Doesn't mean that woman can't be a plumber, sure they can. We just don't prefer gender fluidity/spectrum to be taught in schools to our children. The reason being, it introduces weakness to the population. Man should be strong, independent (not talking about toxic masculinity), and woman also have very important roles in society. Gender fluidity/spectrum contributes to confusion and undermines the future of the population. That's not to say we don't have trans in our society. We do, and we are okay with that, but they have to play by the rules of the majority. They can't go into man's bahtroom if they are born woman, and vice versa. They can't join woman's sports if they are born man. We are also not okay to make it normalized in school and getting shoved on it by the media.
The question is answered in Clojurian Slack:

"Reference counting is the current design. This is something I'll be digging more into, but I really don't think a GC would be ideal."
For the standard 3x replicated setup, 3 nodes is the minimum for any kind of practical redundancy but you really want 4 so that after failure of 1 node all the data can be recovered onto the other 3 and still have failure resiliency.

For erasure coded setups which is not really suited to block storage but mainly object storage via radosgw(s3) or cephfs you need minimum k+m and realistically k+m+1. That would translate to 6 minimum but realistically 7 nodes for k=4,m=2. That’s 4 data chunks and 2 redundant chunks which means you use 1.5x the storage of the raw data (half that of a replicated setup). You can do k=2,m=1 also. So 4 nodes into that case.

It drives me nuts on Windows that when I close FireFox the entire APPLICATION closes! I just wanted to close the window. Now when I start it again / open a new window, I have to enter my LastPass credentials. And pay the boot penalty.

Linux Desktops and Windows both do this, macOS does not.

wyre, how would you characterize the effects of reliable transportation towards social mobility?

It seems you only discuss the rich frugal segment. What about the rest? Middle class folks in the suburbs? Poor urban people who drive to work? Etc...

I'm asking in this way because saying "... you are making it out to be" is based on some comparison between your assessment and your perception of another person's writing. That has several layers of indirection. So I would prefer to just ask you directly.
The cloud is a (large) set of computers located somewhere else that can be used to run a program on your behalf. This lets you rent computer time rather than purchasing and maintaining them yourself. It is an old idea in new packaging that is far more convenient to use.

Inheritance tax is paid by the inheritor, not the deceased. It’s not a property tax, it’s an income tax.

If you’re lucky enough to receive a house as an inheritance, you pay tax on that, like every other income.
There has been attempts as you describe before. I can specifically point to work done in Ruby by my PhD advisor using the exact profiling approach, and then static typing from that: http://www.cs.tufts.edu/~jfoster/papers/cs-tr-4935.pdf

> you're already executing the code for free anyway

Based on my experience of working on similar domain of type systems for Ruby (though not the exact approach you describe), this turns out to be the ultimate bottleneck. If you are instrumenting everything, the code execution is very slow. A practical approach here is to abstract values in the interpreter (like represent all whole numbers are Int). However, this would eliminate the specific cases where you can track "Dict[String->int] WHERE 'foo' in Dict and Dict['bar'] == 42". You could get some mileage out of singleton types, but there are still limitations on running arbitrary queries: how do you record a profile and run queries on open file or network handles later? How do you reconcile side effects between two program execution profiles? It is a tradeoff between how much information can you record in a profile vs cost of recording.

There is definitely some scope here that can be undertaken with longer term studies that I have not seen yet. Does recording type information (or other facts from profiling) over the longer term enough to cover all paths through the program? If so, as this discussion is about maintaining code long term, does it help developers refactor and maintain code as a code base undergoes bitrot and then gets minor updates? There is a gap between industry who faces this problem but usually doesn't invest in such studies and academia who usually invests in such studies but doesn't have the same changing requirements as an industrial codebase.
I mean, we can solve that problem by a 100% inheritance tax so they don't leave an obligation. No? Then maybe let's skip arguing in sound bites.

Personally, I think the answer here is a continued and ongoing land tax. Occupying land should come with an expectation you contribute to the common good, because you don't "own" land. It's a shared good, just like air and water, and you should pay for use.

Primary residences should indeed not be subject to an inheritance tax - if they are continued to be used as a primary residence. Providing an ongoing home for a family unit[1] is a societal good, we shouldn't punish it.

[1] Definition of family is a hairy problem for another, longer post.
> conceptual meaning consistent across all accounts.

Except programmers quite often get the conceptual meaning wrong and incorrectly generalize further. Credit and debit just mean increase or decrease in account balance. You cannot know how it affects liabilities or assets without knowing what type of account is being modified.

OLAP vs OLTP is more than just read vs write -heavy or column vs row -oriented (although it certainly is those things).

RDBMSs used for OLTP also provide consistency and transaction semantics, which are critical to application correctness, but not needed for OLAP uses.
Having read the article, I also come to the conclusion that this is unfairly flagged. All ad hominem comments here should be removed. This is just one of many physicists arguing against the current mainstream hypothesis.
German living in Switzerland here - I would dare say meat is one of the most commonly smuggled items into Switzerland.

The price of meat here is discouragingly high (IMO rightly so), and incredibly cheap in neighboring Germany.

The duty-free limit is also incredibly low (1kg per person and day), similar to the amount of spirits (1L per), and the customs you pay after hefty.

The disclaimers, or more succinctly, the anti-feature section.
It's not the art photography prints they have to replace. It's the millions of times a day a business reaches for an image to throw a brochure together or create a YouTube thumbnail or uses a matte painting for video compositing, or does a sky replacement. And especially in cases where the businesses want to have sole ownership of the image and not a stock license.
So your response is essentially your gut feelings then?

I do not think your rate of change assessment is accurate. With many newer technologies, like the DNN/CNN frameworks, we see a more or less immediate order of magnitude improvement, and then declining rate of improvements as the easier bits are done and we are forced to do deeper development or refinement.

Saying that Tesla has super human capabilities sounds to me like you are not assessing it rationally. Super human would mean, to me, that it manages to do better than humans in extreme conditions. Instead, we have seen a number of very preventable causalities in the current generation systems.
If by "many" GP meant "a small but noticeable percentage of the population", I think the claim is reasonable. Buying a home is a process. In additional to the standard search and short personal inspection you'd do for a rental, there's an official inspection, securing a loan, etc. It consumes a significant amount of time for a month.

For someone moving every 6-12 months, spending a month or even two per year on buying properties and ensuring the previous owners aren't hiding issues isn't worth it. If a landlord hides something this type of tenant will only have to deal with it for a year at most, but if a seller hid something they would lose a lot of money on the move.

Moving every 6-12 months isn't the default, but it's relatively common for college students and recent graduates who haven't established roots yet. Next year it's a new city for a different job or a different school. For example, for many fields in the US going to the same university for grad and undergrad is highly discouraged.

(Not disagreeing with any of your other points.)
It's not racist, it's borderline nationalist but sounds like OP was originally from Germany themselves.

I've no idea about the productivity, but even if OP's statement was true, as an American I'd take a production hit to work less hours and be guaranteed sick pay and holiday leave at amy job and worker protections in General.

If you work your people like slaves and keep the majority of them poor, is productivity something to be proud of?

To be clear, I don't think we should get rid of text completely, or use some drag&drop UI or some visual model. It's just the program should be defined by the semantic model first and then viewed/edited however it is practical (often by text again).

And we already do this in many places - many common code changes we do are already automated by IDE (which maintains the model in memory), so we don't edit the text directly and we don't even think about it that way, we think about how we want to transform the model (ie. extract a function), not about how the text moves between files.

> Text so far is the best thing we have because text can be analyzed formally and computed with by computers.

This doesn't make too much sense to me. Using the approach I talk about would actually make that much easier, because tools wouldn't need to parse the text and work directly on the semantic representation (i.e. it's much easier to query a database than extract the information from textual sources)

Realistically, how would that work for these same group of people? They'd have to know well in advance that they would need postal ballots and complete and return them in advance of election day. Would shift workers working multiple jobs be best served by mail-in voting? tbf I'm not sure if there is a better way, but it seems relying on mail-in ballots helps some people and alienates a different group of people.

Thank you for such precious feedback. I could not have asked for more. Glad to know someone is working on something similar and have found some success.

Even in other states which lack property tax caps, the basic framework within which tax rates are set is controlled at the state level. For example, some economists have proposed replacing property taxes with land value taxes but it would be impossible for a single city to do so without enabling state legislation.

nothing more annoying than having a half-empty ream of paper sitting on a shelf.
Please show me a funded or built project (or even a plausible proposal or projection from past and current projects) in the global north that has a lower cost per capacity than Fengning Pumped Storage Station that has the following properties:

- Is at a site of a type that is available with over 100x the capacity of fenging (ie. a hill with a dirt berm would count if there are 4000GWh of hills that could be plausibly used somewhere). If it does this it will help, but is still several orders of magnitude shy of replacing fossil fuels.

- Fulfils your criteria about not destroying an ecosystem.

- Is not built on top of a past project unless there are enough of whatever the past project is to fulfll criterion 1 (ie. a quarry or mine is fine if there are many similar mines or a handful of immense ones) or the cost of repeating the project elsewhere is included.

- Can empty its reserves in 2 months

- Doesn't take up a prohibitive amount of surface area (is at least 20kWh/m^2 or at most 10x the size of a solar array to fill it).

- Has an operating cost under $30/MWh of stored and produced energy

Otherwise pumped hydro does not meaningfully exist as it cannot beat batteries (the thing that is a long way from being good enough to replace fuels) or must destroy a watershed or other ecosystem.

There's a legitimate reason why a car immediately loses its value. People are more likely to sell cars that have something wrong with them. The market price for a car that you just drove off the lot is not the market price for an average car of that age, it's the market price for the subset of cars of that age that people want to sell. Because a car in that subset is more likely to have something wrong with it, its value is lower. Even if you personally are not selling the car because there's something wrong with it, it's hard for the buyer to know this.

If people had magic X-ray eyes that could tell that the car you just drove off the lot doesn't have more problems than an average new car, then its sale price would be similar to a new car. But they don't.
Hmm. I'm not sure what to think of all this special build stuff. I moved from macOS to FreeBSD + KDE mainly because I felt that macOS was becoming too dumbed down.

And I actually like the UI and configurability of KDE.

So no, I'm not going to use it but it probably could have made me move to FreeBSD a few years earlier. But with this kind of 'copycat' I always wonder if they manage to support a large enough ecosystem to make it work well. After all the biggest selling point of macOS is traditionally the 'just works' principle. Using FreeBSD as a daily driver I know the hardware/driver side needs a lot of tinkering. Which I don't mind, but macOS users would.

I also wonder about their business model, it seems to be a company?
