Bankers and governments don't want your phone to be a general purpose computer. That's why you can't run your banking app on a rooted phone. From a security standpoint, "general purpose computing" is really just "arbitrary code execution" -- generally a bad thing.

We are approaching the sunset of general purpose computing in the consumer space. There's nothing you can do. Accept it and move on.
Strong typing is most useful when used for library code. Users of libraries can make their code as dynamic as they like.

Edit: I think their complaints apply to library development using any language with types e.g. complex C++ template foo is most useful for libraries? There is little in the article that is specifically a problem with TypeScript.

* Good autocompletion. Great for developers using a library. Somewhat self-documenting.

* Narrows down origin of errors. Great for library users and library developers. Nobody wants uncertainty or finger pointing.

* Typing is a strong API contract. Breaking changes to the API are more likely to break existing code. That is absolutely good from the library user’s point-of-view.

If a library developer wishes to deploy a highly dynamic API for their library, they can just use “any”, but expect most developers to dislike the library.

Planning your types correctly, and designing the API carefully to use types, does cost library developers a lot of time and thought. But the library users get outsized gains because library users usually hugely outnumber library developers.

> we are shifting complexity from end-developers to library developers. This places a huge burden on us to be experts with how typescript works.

That is to be expected. Good library code is hard to write. It would be lovely if there were better resources to help library writers, however it is a specialist role since library users usually strongly outnumber library writers.

It appears to me that many of the design decisions in TypeScript for the type system are there to help library developers. Patterns of usage were recognised and then added to the type system.

Disclaimer: not a TypeScript library developer.

People have been privately squatting on public networks like 11/8 since forever. It's a problem for them, maybe, and a mild curiosity for the rest of us. I'm just saying "we saw 240 in a traceroute" could have been a tweet, not a research paper. I kept scrolling and scrolling trying to find out why it wasn't a tweet.
Is the NHS using QALYs beyond drug treatments?

Is there a list somewhere of the QALYs for every intervention?

It becomes enough of a hot potato to say "drug X works, but not enough so we're not paying for it" because it lets you complain that the drug companies are charging too much.

But when you say "surgery X works, or 1:1 therapy works, but not enough so we're not paying for it", criticism now comes from both sides: the workers doing their job and the public.
How is this any different from saying you would avoid a black/Hispanic/minority doctor in the United States? The US also has affirmative action for medical schools. If anything this problem would be worse in the US, since it's harder to determine race by name here.

Your comment reads as thinly veiled casteism/racism.
But if an euro-sceptic like Corbyn (distrust of the EEC more than the EU idea) was in power to negociate brexit, i'm pretty sure the negotiations would've gone better. I don't believe the EU technocrats would've sabotaged him, they care much more about being right than supporting their political side somehow (worked with them two years ago on a project, it was enlightening, made me appreciate technocrats much more than politicians)
If Russia did reasonable things they wouldn't have attacked Ukraine. Since we are talking about a Russia willing to do stupid things there is no reason to believe they won't mess with India or China.
> Why not just tip the patient onto the pavement outside the waiting room? I'm sure a full hospital with a full waiting room won't be to busy to sort that out.

Literally yes. Keeping them in an ambulance instead of the sidewalk won't get them into the ER any faster. And keeping the ambulance tied up at the hospital won't do any good for the next guy who has an emergency and is sitting on the sidewalk at the site of the accident either. At least if you move the injured people to the sidewalk at the hospital, the nurses can look outside and prioritize the worst. And the problem will be highly visible to the public, instead of papered over by using ambulances as waiting rooms.

What they're doing now is obviously prioritizing for appearances, not patient outcome.
Depending on order volume (5-30) about $2CAD per board to have them made and assembled.

Just looking at my last order I paid $30CAD for 30 boards to be manufactured. Assembly was $140CAD, of which $115 was component costs. So the various assembly fees end up being about $25

So manufacturing and assembly costs for 30 boards came to about $55CAD.

The big hitch is that this is using THEIR component library. I think the assembly costs go up a bit if you want to provide your own components.
As a renter I've found the neighbors dump the beer cans, their shitty trailers, and whatever other bad habits they have in my yard because they know the landlord is off in another state and everybody who lives here for 2 years and then moves on has no rapport with the authorities so it can only hurt us if we try and do something about it. The landlord is an old man who basically does 0 maintenance to the house, so the house is slowly turning into a pile of garbage that an unmown lawn actually look more fitting with.

If you want to know why we don't bother, it's because the owners of the surrounding houses use our place as dumping grounds and the owners have been there for decades and know all the housing inspectors and police. It seems pointless to even bother when the landlord wants the house to fall into disrepair and the neighbors will use their connections to authorities to dump on our grounds again as soon as we clean it up. On one occasion I was sent a notice that I would be imprisoned because of trash my neighbor put somewhere not even on our property and before I even moved in. I dutifully cleaned it up because it was clear I was going to be framed, but as that took the entire weekend I had little energy leftover afterwards to do yard work around my own place after being exhausted dealing with the neighbor owners.

Meanwhile the neighbors' house indeed did look spotless because they dumped all their trash on the renters' yards.
Note well that people who enjoy Interactive Fiction (what we used to call "text adventures") ought to be the most likely people to forgive the fact that a pseudo-natural language interface is, in fact, much pickier with regard to accepted input than actual natural language.

>and I think 1% of GDP is woefully inadequate. You spend about 4% of GDP just on Medicare alone.

Perhaps the React-Query source itself is a good example of when "simple" is still not "easy to read/write":

I picked out this file pretty arbitrarily: https://github.com/TanStack/query/blob/main/packages/react-q...

The author of react-query seems to be very clear at communicating how the library works and the library itself provides a great developer experience, but it's also an example of how much work can go into correct typing in library code.

Describing any action as a vote about your future identity is a way of thinking about the world. It makes sense within the particular framework this article is presenting, but it is not a universally held belief, and it's not self-evidently true. It's a metaphor.

Here's an example: if you choose not a rob a bank 10,000 times, that's 10,000 votes for not being a bank robber. Then if you choose to rob a bank just one time, you're suddenly a bank robber. 10,000 to 1, the number of votes doesn't actually matter.

That's a silly example, but what it means is that your identity isn't always the result of a bunch of small decisions. Often there's just one "vote", and that is the decision you make, the action you take.

One objection to this may be "but being a bank robber isn't who you are, it's just something you did." If so, I wonder how to square that with the example of becoming more of a smoker by smoking more cigarettes? Can I vote not to be a smoker, even if I smoke a lot of cigarettes? Or to be less of a smoker by smoking more cigarettes? That doesn't make sense to me.

Anyway, hope this clarifies my objection: "actions are votes about who you will become" is a metaphorical explanation, not a literal one, so that comment way upthread is not patently false in my opinion, even if it's arguable.
Ya, I’m curious as to what the other “normal” prizes were.

Good point about the tolls.

So in Northern California, if you cross the Bay Bridge or the Golden Gate Bridge as part of your daily commute—assuming a 5 day/week workweek in the office for historical purposes but as a caveat, this may be inaccurate in the present—you can easily spend between $1500 and $2K/year in bridge tolls.

BART is also an option, but is in the same ballpark at about $1500-1700 depending on how many days of the year you work and that’s assuming a West Oakland to Embarcadero commute so it only goes up from there if you live and work further from those stations. Maybe you end up not having to pay for parking on the other side though if you live near the station, although some people end up having to pay for parking at a BART garage.

Transportation is expensive.

The article discusses a 2007 proposal [1] for 240/4 to be used as a private address space -- essentially a bigger, alternative to 10/8 -- and then goes on to imply/state that the proposal failed as it was felt that adding further sticking plasters to IPv4 was somehow undermining IPv6 adoption. The point of the article seems to be to show that in reality, 240/4 is being used as a private address space despite not being officially sanctioned as such.

As I think you're pointing out, that's not necessarily interesting because if 240/4 were officially sanctioned as private space, then these people would likely not want to use it, for the same reasons that they aren't already using 10/8.

> In your live/love/laugh philosophy, how do you have meaningful, uncomfortable, worthwhile conversations that result in a genuine, deep relationship forged through facing hard truths together?

That sounds like the kind of relationship I'd have with my spouse, sibling, or very old friend.

In those relationships, you can't avoid it. At work, I try to be mindful that ultimately everyone is there so they can feed their family and not get cold in the winter time. That's an uncomfortable truth, and everyone has to face it, so it's good to stay light and breezy when possible.

Enforced fun is its own kind of hell, I try to share only the most anodyne memes at work, and I have seen harmony overvalued, but harmony and comfort do have value. If I see a team where every decision provokes a lengthy and probing inquiry into values, and they weren't building a warp drive or cancer cure, I might be a bit put off. Is camel case vs snake case really so important? Disagreeing productively is an important skill, but so is picking your battles.
It’s actually surprisingly close in absolute numbers. About 20k not-self inflicted gun deaths in the us, and 17k deaths by fire in India. Ofc per capita gun deaths>>fires.
For me personally it would be the ability to run jails and ZFS on a desktop. That would in turn enable me to run the same in production because local/dev/prod parity would be a good thing.
Other countries spend more (10 - 20 % more) and get better outcomes, so it seems like the solution is indeed to spend more. The fact that it has been climbing slowly and we haven't seen radical improvement doesn't contradict that. Sorry.
I've had some good experience hiring contractors. It all depends on what the goal is. If the goal is high quality work there are shops for that and if the goal is for a big enterprise to manage costs and de-risk themselves by hiring contractors as easy-to-let-go resources, you get exactly that. I've dealt with both and the latter is just extremely frustrating made infinitely worse by dealing with the timezone.

If you've seen job placements in top tier colleges in India, it's obvious that none of the body shops ever get even a small percentage of graduates wanting to join. They're always the last choice even for the less academically inclined. It has been the case since at least 2005. Until then these companies still had some sway and were hiring some good candidates. Now they're coasting on their "account winning" architects who then transfer all day-to-day stuff to some of the most tough to deal with engineers.

All heavily marketed "trends" are predetermined to forward an ultimate agenda from the permanent elite class. Bill Gates doesn't want you eating beef and pork. He wants you eating his fake "meat" so they can shut down the livestock industry to save Mother Gaia from global warming.

Is this a conspiracy? Yes. But it's not a theory, the evidence is all around.
thx, why didn't you stick to emacs keybindings?
Yes. And not sure why you're dramatizing it so hard, the best security/patching/monitoring comes from free and open source software, and the biggest fails tend to come from third parties that I (or more importantly, everybody else) can't monitor.

This is all the whole entire point of software freedom. It's not that it's perfect, but it is as good, frequently better, than third parties. Weird how this is controversial.

I think that was a good write-up, and he made a pretty strong case. I don't drink alcohol myself and I share some of his feelings. Talking about alcohol seems to be a really nice way to start and keep up a conversation, I've noticed. Same applies to smoking and e.g. lighting someone else's cigarette, which is a type of sharing you don't get to do very often with people.
Leaning towards a mentality where everybody drinks alcohol by default, with the assumption that alcohol is an essential ingredient for having a good time, is unnecessary and unhealthy, and as he said, sometimes isolating experience to some.
Don’t Linux and FreeBSD both use OpenZFS these days?

Jails are a fair point, but if they’re essential to your production environment, why not just run your FreeBSD dev environment in a VM on your Linux laptop, or SSH into a dedicated FreeBSD dev box?

After all, OP is already running Linux in a VM in order to run working WiFi drivers.
> once newer iterations of X86-64 drop support for legacy instructions (...) - we will have smaller, more efficient X86-64 chips.

Don't get too excited about it. The old compatibility is going to be tiny in the die space compared to even basic Intel extensions. And it's not just the old code - new code may well contain a "mov al..." so you can't just drop it. All of those instructions will stay with us for decades.
Yes, but that's the point of the article. Earning $1000 and paying $500 of it towards taxes is more regressive than earning $2000 and paying $800, even though in the second case you are paying more in terms of absolute dollars.
I always get Time Lords and Time Cubes confused.
The obvious answer is that death isn’t a negatively infinite outcome. The fact that people prefer death to living (eg via suicide) is an example thereof.
They are only visible in traceroutes. Ripe seems to operate devices to collect BGP stats that also do periodic traceroute. Some of the packets they sent out crossed a router with IPs in the 240/4 block, but those are only used internally and not advertised outside the AS (apart from the suspicion of different Amazon AS advertising their 240/4 addresses to each other).
Yeah but in addition to your $50k/yr salary, you're gaining $40k/yr in home equity. You can sell your house and move to a cheaper area and pocket the difference. Of course if you're struggling with day to day expenses you probably can't wait for 10 years for a big pay day, but even this can be dealt with by financing.

Further, the big problem here is ridiculous growth in property prices. While obviously some areas do occasionally experience a few years of exceptional growth, it would be dumb to assume that any given area is going to 5x in property value in 10 years. Even if it did in the past, such growth should not be expected to continue in perpetuity. Over the long term, property appreciation rates average around 4% annually, over 10 years you ought to expect a 100k house to go up in value to 148k. By comparison, assuming a 3% raise every year on average and no job changes, someone starting at 50k/yr should be making 67k/yr after a decade. Under such normal circumstances, a 2% property tax with no income tax would have a tax to income ratio of 4% versus 12% for a 10% income tax and 1% property tax. The rate of change in tax to income ratio is better with the income tax, a 2% increase in 10 years versus a 10% increase, but still it takes 166 years for for the high property tax option to overtake the income tax option. While some people may get unlucky (if you can call your net worth skyrocketing unlucky), going with the high property tax option is objectively the better strategy.

The problem is that this is not a clear and present trade off that people can consent to. When choosing an object on collecting data, lets go with a fairly noxious and bad example BMW, you can't have a clear understanding about how you accelerate, your speed, pictures from your car, etc are valuable.

At the time of purchase you are coerced into a market where things are unequally priced out, and even if it's told to you that you must accept that you give out your data. It doesn't make it clear about how far that goes, how it's stored, who it's sold to and correlated with etc.

"The user has to accept this" is a very authoritarian thing for you to say and to blame everyone here for.

I’m not making a moral judgement at all. I wanted to comment on the process of how people think (or don’t think) about the reasons they do or don’t eat things (like mushroom derived products or monkeys) saying mushroom based products are not “food” but eg cookies are food sounds silly to me. They’re both just ingredients mashed together.
