Who knows, some bots or digital calendars might stand the test of time.
Yes and no. Yes in the sense that there was a formal pattern for learning that developed from 3k bc - end (right around 1800bc) which typically included a combination of math (fractions, pemdas, etc, administrative math, enough so you could make a bill of sale) and writing (which meant learning Sumerian as well as cuneiform), among a few other "administrative" disciplines (like calculating the calendar- the Sumerian calendars often arbitrarily added a month or two whenever they felt like the calendar was too far off, so knowing when and how to add those months was critical to maintaining the cultic schedule. fun for archaeologists later to figure out what month it is..). The essential purpose was to prepare you for a life of administration of some kind, whether in a temple or household.

No in the sense that this kind of education was not available to everyone, and I would imagine the vast majority never learned to write.

Here's more Sumerian tablet jokes:

"If a scribe knows only one line, but his handwriting is good, he is indeed a scribe!"

"A scribe whose hand can follow dictation is indeed a scribe!"

"What kind of a scribe is a scribe who does not know Sumerian?"
From Wikipedia: “He was the most prominent member of the high-profile hacker think tank the L0pht.”

That’s quite a generous take. There were plenty of excellent hackers in the 90s, but “L0pht” just seemed like the PR friendly one that could go on good morning America.

Can’t tell if this is real or just a 90s security person trying to stay relevant after being fired.

> It's easier to read for you.

It would be easier for me to read if everyone wrote their code in French. Is that a good enough reason to make the whole company switch?

There's subjectivity, and then there is "I'm not frustrated by having to dig for the return type of every function I call, so no one should using typing in their function signatures because I don't like to look at it".

> I run an agency ... up to ~100k lines of code each ... practically I have almost never had an experience like the one you describe in 20+ years of working on Python codebases.

You're either a genius who is able to maintain a huge graph of functions calls and typing in your mind, across multiple repos and many years, or your codebase is an absolute nightmare to work on (it could also be both, and you're just able to deal with it). If I interviewed at a company in 2022 and they told me they have multiple 100k+ line repos of untyped Python, I would run away as fast as possible, as would the coworkers that I value the most. The ones that wouldn't run away are the ones that think types are inconvenient and unit tests are annoying to write, which really aren't the people I enjoy working with.

Edit: if you want evidence, I pulled some examples from your profile.

I've never worked with Django, and let's pretend I'm onboarding at your company and need to get into your `django_dbq` repo.

You have a `Job.get_queue_depths()` method here: https://github.com/dabapps/django-db-queue/blob/23f8ebe80b66.... What does this return? Okay... it builds this `annotation_dicts` object from the objects in a `Job`, then filters them, gets the queue names, sorts them, then annotates them (?). `annotation_dicts` also seems to start with a `JobManager`, and I can't tell how/if it ends up actually being a `dict` of something, so I'm not sure if the name is right. Then we return a dict of name:queue_depth, okay good. I guess the keys to the dict are strings?... Wrong, they're `models.CharField`, and I only can find that because it happens to be in the same file/class.

If the function was typed, and mypy enforced, I would have `def get_queue_depths() -> Dict[models.Charfield, int]:` (assuming the value is an `int`, I also can't verify the `.annotate(Count(...))` returns an `int`...). This would have saved me all of that above, which is basically just doing static analysis in my head, and not adding any value to the business.

I grant some of these points, but:

1) You're citing the 2014 Mac mini because it's an outlier, and also old enough that some things which are integrated into the motherboard now (RAM, storage), weren't then. Coincidentally, these are the two most common reasons you'd ever want to open up and service or upgrade a Mac.

2) This isn't the auto industry; it's not as easy for third parties to make and stock these parts, and also, computers become obsolete long before cars do, for reasons that have nothing to do with repairability.

3) You cite Apple's security measures, but as you know, those only apply to a very small minority of the chips (and other parts) that are in the computer. And those security measures do provide a real benefit, much as right-to-repair advocates like to ignore or obscure or downplay this point. (Not saying you are doing this.)

In warmer countries - I've seen them in Greece and Turkey - solar boilers are on pretty much every roof, they're all collectors and a tank of I presume oil or some other medium, like on this stock photo: https://www.123rf.com/photo_16565679_solar-collector-tank-co...

Cybersecurity is one of my roles I suppose (small place with an operations team of approximately 2.5), and I have to say that I have no idea what proper security is supposed to mean today; it's very hard for me to tell the marketing from best practice now. It seems like what most products really are is an ass covering service so you can tell your leadership and your customers that you did the right things.

Basically we work on keeping everything patched and try not to create any obvious issues. Honestly, I think the best thing we have going for us is obscurity.
What if the government allowed private enterprise to open emergency clinics in times of great need? There are probably a lot of people who would be willing to pay out of pocket for medical care, especially in an emergency, if it meant getting seen sooner.

We need to stop framing this issue as "car" versus "no car". It's "cars" versus "fewer cars".

I live in the suburbs of a HCOL city in the US. My wife and I could absolutely afford two cars. We have one. I don't think we could go down to zero cars any time soon, but the transition to one car was a lot easier than we thought it would be.
Replacing cars with bicycles is one of the most "proper" ways of decarbonizing transportation.
I do think this is part of it. When I got married my spouse wanted a set of really bright-colored dishes. I liked them too, but was worried we'd get tired of them and want something else, and preferred neutral colors for that reason.

Neutral colors aren't as appealing to me at some level but I'm also less likely to tire of them, and as you say, I think they're more compatible with other changes.

I've wrestled with this in some recent remodeling too, thinking a blue would be nice here, but decided against it because I didn't want to change my mind later. But I was remodeling, so maybe it's inevitable anyway.

I think so much is disposable in our lives that maybe we gravitate toward colors that seem less ephemeral.
$750 e-bikes are not suitable as daily commuter bike - they use cheapest and generally unreliable components if you put miles on bicycle. They are ok for occasional weekend ride with kids but not much beyond that. (essentially quality wise they are equivalent to $100 Walmart bike)

Low end bike suitable for commute is more like $1000-$1200. $2000 is mid range that stops requiring monthly tuning and use some brand name components.

They subtract COVID deaths from excess deaths to get the baseline, forgetting that COVID deaths were counted somewhat liberally, and some percentage of non-COVID deaths were counted as COVID deaths if someone was infected close to their time of death. This can be seen in the following chart: https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/coronavirus-data-explor... (You need to change the "Metric" dropdown)

If you compare excess deaths in 2022 to COVID deaths in the same period: Peaks in COVID deaths don't produce peaks in excess deaths. So saying that excess deaths are higher now than they were in the past is likely due to the underestimation of con-COVID excess deaths during COVID, and not a real effect.
Further reducing the usage of cars. Seems like a win win.
My reasoned mind says it's due to the recent disclosure in Twitter due to linking of phone numbers to people, while my other mind says it's Elon finding anything to make Twitter give up their case.
What does tax fraud have anything to do with this? I can't help but wonder if you're just trying to imply that anyone who wants to stay private must be a criminal.

There is quite literally zero reason to suspect tax evasion from somebody just because they want their identity to remain detached from the products they purchase.

This is just slightly unfortunate search results projected to fake victimhood advertising. Calling this censorship is absolutely absurd and insulting to every people who are actually being censored right now.

For $300 I can buy a very solid single speed bike that will last ages.
Well then I suggest they don't replace their car with an ebike and let people who don't need their car use this subsidy instead.
This got me thinking, at what point would the benefits of these optimisation are no longer meaningful. At 225Million subscriber, assuming somehow, it has a peak concurrent user of 70% total, around 160M. This figure should already be way above the actual number because they are spread across the Globe in different Time Zone. At 10Mbps Netflix would need a peak bandwidth of 1600M Mbps, or 1600Tbps. At 1.6Tbps that is only 1000 box required worldwide. Or 2000 if you include redundancy. Once you factor in you need a box with every ISP, Local Peer Exchange or Regional ISP worldwide, and there are hundreds of those. Shrinking it further wouldn't make much of a different.

Hopefully that means Netflix now has the incentive to bump bitrate to 20Mbps or higher.

I'm happy for them that they made it to the point they can actually take time off. A big issue over here (NL) is that the doctors and nurses have fallen ill themselves, either from the 'rona or long covid, or from being overworked for so long. And because of the workload, a lot of people have quit as well.
> A few of the more privacy conscious use Telegram or Signal.

Here in Germany, almost everyone I know is on Signal. That is not privacy conscious people or even tech-affine ones, almost everyone uses it in addition to WhatsApp. WA is mainly used when it works better (in bad connection situations, something that is embarrassingly relevant in Germany, Signal messages sometimes don’t work without an indication of it happening, WA messages just work) or a special feature is needed (live location sharing).

I guess this is the point — the workflow is adapted to the lack of immediate feedback.

A soft goods shop I know bought everything they need to do prototypes in house. Now they can crush everyone else on delivery schedules and are fully self-determined and therefore also more reliable on those timelines than anyone else. Those two things together draw very lucrative projects.

Imagine if you could do the same thing with electronics, moving prototyping entirely in-house and modifying the workflow to match. It would create an entirely new class of shop, and I would bet a lot of interesting changes would flow from that.

No it doesn’t. It makes it easier to buy a more expensive bike, but it’s still more expensive.

Some people need cars to do some things. For many of them it's easier and cheaper to use taxis and rentals than to own a car. As more people give up car ownership it becomes easier for others to follow.

Minimalism and "Contemporary" architecture have overstayed their welcome. I love looking at architecture videos, but damn all houses are the same nowadays! Same boring pallette, empty walls, large windows etc. no wonder there is no color. Even the architect's narrative is boring. Have all the architects been on vacation for the last 10 years?
The good news is at least one ebike maker is making their bikes compatible with the Apple Find My network and another is using their own GPS tracking system.

I’d expect in the future we could see something like the phone account lock system to just completely disable stolen ebikes like we have seen for phones.
"the US healthcare system is already collapsing" What do you mean by this, specifically? People not having insurance? Increasing deaths inside the hospital? Large numbers of people turned away from emergency rooms?

I'm questioning this because with the exception of malpractice, the U.S. healthcare system seems to be working quite well, despite the large numbers of uninsured and those who cannot pay.

I just don't buy this argument that the U.S. healthcare system is "collapsing" because if you call an ambulance they will take you to the hospital, and if your life is in danger regardless of your ability to pay, there's a higher chance of surviving in an American medical facility than most places on earth.

Why is it lame that they had a specific group of disadvantaged people they were trying to target? When governments make blanket payouts (i.e. what the US did during COVID) people complain about the money going to people who don't need it. In this case they had a very specific group, intent, and budget. Isn't this what "small" government is supposed to do?

And the bikes they're trying to encourage people to buy probably aren't the high end ones, or even the mid-range bikes. I'm guessing someone did some research at some point.

It's only odd because we project our own biases and values onto them: one is a criminal as far as the western law systems are concerned, another is an entrepreneurial foreigner.

But in reality, both are bold, inventive and motivated. The difference is just the capital - financial, social and educational - each one holds, those who have nothing are simply willing to accept riskier propositions.

Don't for a moment think you you can bootstrap a business in a corrupt African state using nothing but your hands and back, with no education, no connections and no money. Even if you are insanely productive and entrepreneurial, without greasing the right hands you will be picked clean by criminal rings, protection rackets, unscrupulous competitors etc. It's hard for a westerner to relate to a life where rule of law is spotty and tends to cover only major crimes.
I think example one is the best. First, having date in URL sounds great but it is really just metadata. It is also relative to where you live. You might want to add multilingual features at some point. Or if you need to pull down a post and republish it at a later date now you might be stuck with multiple aliases. Having a descriptive title in the URL usually provides enough insight for someone just seeing the link to know what is is about. Sometimes bookmark managers mess up and lose titles. If you see the URL it is helpful to know what the content represents. Tools like Hugo will do this for you automatically as well.

Private enterprises are already running a significant chunk of UK health care at the moment; the Tory government is dismantling the socialized health care in favor of short-term profit. It's not about whether people are willing, it's whether they can afford it or if they have no choice but to go into debt.

Anyway, the NHS has also paid private clinics already because their own facilities are at capacity.
