I think you captured something I've been mulling about recently. The perception of software quality should be on an inverted scale, like incident severity where zero is the worst possible outcome. Software can't be better then "works well, has little accidental complexity". But it can be much worse than that. People rave about pieces of software that do their job and get out of the way because they're so rare, and not because they are magical unicorns that cook you breakfast and give you massages. But because they fulfill expectations at a reasonable cost.

The Mac experience peaked some years ago in many ways. Now when the hardware is back on track we can at least enjoy that plus some good MacOS features, and ignore or tweak the not so great stuff.

"There are archives of scientific publications, not just newspapers. This backs up what the scientists are saying and not what the newspapers are saying"

OK, let's check. Here are just a handful of scientific papers from the 60s and 70s talking about global cooling that I pulled off Google Scholar in five minutes. By the way, notice how every single one treats the existence of a long term cooling trend as unarguable, undisputed fact and then observe that modern climatologists present long term temperature data that simply erases the trend all these older scientists were talking about: https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/global-temperature/

Mitchell (debated elsewhere in this thread):
https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/apme/10/4/1520-04...

"Suggestions by several previous authors to the effect that the apparent worldwide cooling of climate in recent decades is attributable to large-scale increases of particulate pollution of the atmosphere by human activities are not supported by this analysis"

Mitchell again: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-94-010-1729-9_...

"It is concluded that the cooling of climate since 1940, apparently still in progress, is a natural phenomenon plausibly related to an enhanced stratospheric loading by volcanic dust in the period"

Science, 1975: https://www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1126/science.188.4188.535

"The regions that would be most severely affected by a continuation of the cooling trend to the year 2000 would be the higher latitudes (above 50 degrees) where spring wheat is grown and the warm band below 30 degrees latitude where rice is the principal grain crop."

Another Science paper, 1975: https://www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1126/science.189.4201.460

"If man-made dust is unimportant as a major cause of climatic change, then a strong case can be made that the present cooling trend will, within a decade or so, give way to a pronounced warming induced by carbon dioxide. By analogy with similar events in the past, the natural climatic cooling which, since 1940, has more than compensated for the carbon dioxide effect, will soon bottom out."

Annals of the Association of American Geographers, 1972: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1467-8306.1974...

"The mean temperature for the Northern Hemisphere had a warming trend from 1890 to 1950 and a cooling trend since 1950. The eastern and central United States had colder temperatures in 1961–1970 than in 1931–1960"

Science and Public Policy, 1975: https://academic.oup.com/spp/article-abstract/2/6/264/163373...

"There is mounting evidence that the bad climate of 1972 may be the forerunner of a long series of less favourable agricultural crop years that lie ahead for most of the world. Thus widespread food shortages threaten just at the same time that populations are growing to new highs. Indeed, less favourable climate may be the new global norm. The Earth may have entered a new ‘little ice age’."
After reading Strogatz, I view past courses I have taken in engineering DEs as a crime on students and lecturers alike. I know there's a substantial difference between pure/applied maths courses and engineering, but a massive failure to make such a broad subject boring with dry, abstract examples is still beyond what I can forgive.
That said, the courses did not traumatise me nearly enough to stay away from DEs which I guess is the only positive take I have at the moment.

We should never underestimate the value of building on solid foundations. This may not be as intuitive with software as with, say, buildings. But it's just as true. Start with a language slapped together quickly and you end up with tonnes of unnecessary headaches down the line. Start with one built around the main problem it's trying to solve, with a lot of foresight and early improvements built in, and you eliminate whole classes of problems.

There is no "we" here.

If someone has the power to remove the power structures, people will start organising themselves in power structures pretty damn quickly. And those who are organised enough that can accumulate more physical power will immediately start enforcing those structures on others.

It always comes down to physical power, and although I would love to se a society where every single member follows the principles of non-violence, I can't even imagine a world without it.
Hey, big fan of AlchemistCamp! I'd say there's plenty of short snippets on specific functionality of phoenix, but not enough of content on how things fit together (what exactly do you use genservers for, where do you place things in a project, how do you organize your repo queries - do you pass objects or PKs around, how to refactor a complex function, how do nested livecomponents work and what happens to assigns when you route back, what's the difference between live_redirect, push_redirect, redirect etc.) These are the things off the top of my head that I've struggled with, and ultimately built something but in the back of my head I'm not REALLY sure if I did it correctly.

I've also really enjoyed Pragmatic Studio's course on OTP where they build a genserver from scratch, thay was eye opening, a few more in-depth courses would definitely be welcome.

I felt this way too. This structure is a single artist's vision, made solid over the course of 50 years. I can't get a feeling/reaction from it just by looking at photos but, maybe give the chance to visit, I expect I'd be able to prod the artist's vision, see if it resonates with me.

Then again, I can get joy/awe/wonder/ennui/whatever from wandering around abandoned villages, ancient ruins (even the partly reconstructed ones), cemeteries, woods, wastelands, abandoned infrastructure, etc. Or even working places/venues, but at times of least activity. The key thing, for me, is that there must be few/no people around me - to let my mind unleash itself from the trivia and go roaming - that, for me, is when the 'art' (whatever 'art' is) happens.

I could get jealous of the financial support the artist has received over the years as he strives to make his vision solid. But I have a suspicion that he would probably built something even without support. It reminds me of Outsider Art in that way: people driven to create despite the barriers others put in their way. That such people exist gives me hope for the species.

Great writeup

It's amazing (in a bad way) how most professors couldn't care less about how/why they teach something. Didactical thinking is nowhere to be seen. And yes even a lot of youtubers just repeat the same unsufferable self-pleasuring of "solve this problem here like it's the 1900s". Or how professors will throw a fit whenever you solve a limit problem using L'Hospital instead of their farcical show-and-dance about limits.

It's appaling.

This is just a sign that male journalists are self-censoring when taking interviews, not that they are not interested. We do the same with job interviews, it is obvious when doing panel interviews and some interviewers are men and some are women: the women can ask anything they want, while for men it is considered inappropriate to ask some questions.

The term "unconscious bias" is based on the (false) assumption that every group of human is exactly identical.

It is 100% a political term that is shoved at people to make them feel like a bad person for noticing differences where there actually are differences.

If you want to eliminate "unconscious bias" you are trying to create a society where women talk to men in the exact same way that they talk to other women, women act the exact same way around attractive men as they do around ugly men, adults talk to a 5 year old the same way that they would talk to a 95 year old.

i.e. a delusional utopia that is completely detached from nature and reality, and which has never existed in any society.
Yeah I think that's true. From my experience it's the same for testing software in general - you can mock things but having actual tests that test the behaviour of dependencies is tricky since you have to emulate those for your tests and that can be a lot of work.

But since it covers your for all future changes, it might still be worth it, because otherwise you either have to manually retest with actual hardware or accept a higher risk of bugs.
> I would argue that the vast majority of code in a low-level language doesn't care about manual memory access or pass by val/ref.
> Most of the time we are just passing around references anyway. So why no make this the default implicit case, and then when you need something exotic, add syntax then.

This depends on what the language is being used for. If it's to write high level glue code then passing references/pointers around is likely the norm. However the majority of cases you will care about how things are passed, how they're allocated, where they're allocated, and so on. If you don't care you're often using the wrong tool for the job or you're writing inefficient messy code.

Writing allocators (arena/bump, heap, gc, rc, memory pools, etc) requires control more often than not and applications which desire performance often need to write their own tailored to their usage patterns (e.g you don't want it to free things at the wrong time). Data layout and alignment of said data play a key role in keeping the application performant along with the ability to reinterpret memory without copying values which is something TS lacks. Access to inline assembly for the cases where the compiler generates undesirable code or where what you want to do can't be expressed in the language itself.

The above applies to quite a few domains and especially to embedded where you often have limited resources (time, memory, code size, etc). It may seem like a rare case but if you look around your at your everyday appliances around your home, sensors in your car, your headphones, and so on, you'll see that it's a rather common case.

It would be good for you to try such languages for a while so you can see why the features presented to you exist and try to develop something which touches the different areas where it's used. Embedded is a nice start with especially dealing with MMIO.
I still think this is a bad idea, because it leads to parent:child combinatorial explosion.

Instead, try to avoid the need to define styles that way. Learn to rely on the cascade. Pick an authoring style for sizing, margins and paddings and stick to it. I tend to prefer h-margin and v-padding on containers and v-margins and h-padding on content.
I find the reference is not really great. Some of it stems from the fact that function argument names aren't really present in the documentation. Most languages that have excellent documentation will explicitly state what each argument is, something to the point of mind numbing repetitiveness. Often the documentation is written in a way that allows you to start reading anywhere and still understand everything, which is less common with Haskell
> The main reason re-cycling doesn't happen is due to the energy cost of producing complex technologies to sort waste or filter chemicals out of waste-water etc.

The main reason it doesn't happen is externalities.

There's all sorts of horrible things that are re-used and recycled by industry in expensive and complicated ways because if they didn't they'd need to buy more of it and they can do basic sums.

The cost of energy can't be the limit because we actively subsidize that.

The ones they don't recycle are generally because they've figured out a way to make someone else bear the cost instead.

> At some point along the way, art stopped being about trying to bring beauty and happiness and clarity into the human condition.

I suggest dating that at around 19 BC, when Virgil created the absolute masterpiece that is the Aeneid, probably the greatest work of Latin literature that has ever existed... as a nationalist propaganda piece designed to justify the existence of the newly-formed empire and to retroactively proclaim the divine and heroic heritage of the Roman emperor of the time.
This. Is. Nonsense.

The low energy, energy efficiency drive isn't a trap isn't about using less energy, it's about wasting less energy, and sourcing energy in a sustainable way that doesn't render the planet uninhabitable.

Why heat a room with your 100W light bulb when you get more light from a 7W LED alternative?

We absolutely can use more energy, but we haven't figured out how to scale out sustainable generation and storage. Right now, dumping fossil fuels is important to accomplish that second goal. Wasting less is an important part of that.

There is no trap, we're just not there yet.
