You're right. The Romans were generally open to stoicism because, unlike epicureanism or cynicism, stoicism wasn't seen by Romans as demanding a retreat from public affairs.

>> ... [stoicism] is a response to perceiving the breakdown of a functioning world. Their prescription for dealing with such troubles is to develop profound internal strength, and in doing so the stoic attitude can dodge some societal-level failures by compartmentalizing toward a robust individualism.

Where this author speaks of "profound internal strength", stoicism talks about ataraxia and "remedies" or techniques to achieve a state of tranquility when encountering something that disturbs that state (e.g. someone calls you an idiot). Seneca's letters, for example, talk about progressing along a path and becoming more skilled, not developing "profound internal strength".

Lastly, I wanted to say "individualism" is an anachronistic modern concept the author has insinuated into the ancient world.
Yeah, I would like a flag that makes the compiler as loose as possible, maybe something like "-fprototype". Then when I'm ready to get serious about correctness, I can remove the flag and be all pedantic.

That's just going to result in people committing unused vars to their repos. People are already doing that now after adding '_'s by hand. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32753079 It's going to get even more common when underscores are automatically added all over your project without user input and you have no chance of remembering where they all were.

If the goal of not having warnings is to increase code quality, it's actually doing the opposite.

I don't understand this insistence on working around the problem by layering on tooling, instead of just fixing the problem to begin with.
My message to Bob: if you're the smartest in the room, you're in the wrong room.
I wonder if there are type systems that are intentionally Turing-complete rather than accidentally. As in, given that you're likely going to end up with Turing-completeness anyway, why not make type-level programming intuitive and convenient rather than the tarpit it typically is?
4) Bob is outsourcing his work.

Joking, but it is a possibility.
The British Armed Forces are also know as "Her Majesty's Armed Forces" (now His Majesty's). The official head of the armed forces is the monarch and that's who they swear their allegiance to. However, there is a long standing constitutional convention that the executive authority is given to the Prime Minister by "royal perogative". So technically the monarch, but in reality it's the Prime Minister.

If the monarch tried to actually do something significant with that power I imagine the law would be changed pretty quickly.

This is why working royals generally have various military titles and positions, because the monarch is the head of the armed forces. It's also why the monarch dresses in military regalia for various military events.

There are a class of problems that are immovable to an individual yet conquerable by a community.

This reminds me of the WWI and WWII flying Aces. Germany had a lot more flying aces and lot higher "highscores" for their pilots than the allied or entente forces. The reasons was simple: Germany send their high value pilots out a lot more to get these results, risking losing their best pilots, while the british deliberatly made sure their best pilots immediately became instructors teaching their skills to other pilots.

Bob should stop doing any work himself and instead focus on teaching other developers. Most programming time is spend being stuck on problems and debugging, the mere task of coding is often trivial for most devs. A high achiever like bob could propably help people solve issues they are stuck on really fast. That in turn would 10x return the performance he can achieve himself.
Just want to comment that remote working in general is going to increase these types of conversations, which I believe is a positive.

Not on topic ... but as a life change I will only consider full remote work. I believe there will be many many more like myself and yourself. I believe this is going to alter how we as a society in general think about our primary residents. In your example you are considering a homestead. For me, I am considering moving between residences.
I think more generally worry about things you can change is a big net positive for the individual. Worrying about external things that you have no control over is a huge drag on most people's lives. It leads to a lot of anxiety and stress. Sure there may be some individual that believes they cannot change something when they in fact can make a difference, but this is exceptionally rare. The more likely case is that someone can choose to focus on something small where they can make a difference, in which stoicism would guide them to make that difference as opposed to feeling dread about something that they have no control over.

For instance, if you're concerned about climate change, one way you can go about it is to go to some big demonstration and yell about it (and leave a big mess in its wake). Or you can focus on the local, like cleaning up your own neighborhood which is something you can make a difference on. The local action will have more of an impact and be more personally rewarding.

This is all triggering my memory, I had forgotten how it actually worked so couldn't explain the issue I was having. But it was related to this exact behavior. I found it so unintuitive and difficult to grasp that I literally abandoned the project and decided to build it from scratch in React.

> JSX felt like a regression in that regard, but in practice, I think it ends up being pretty straightforward

I did see lots of codebase write jsx like this. So I hate it. I starts the journey of front-end from jquery, ejs, angular.js, react to vue. And jsx of react always feels like a bad step to me.

Yes, If you write jsx properly, then it is just as readable as a normal template. But somehow some people never get it. And react also never made any attempt to stop insane codebase like this to exist.

(And you'd better pray your previous codebase owner isn't one of these, or you are in a big trouble)

One side feels more righteous because "Bitcoin wastes energy and if you care about climate, you should pray for crypto to crash tomorrow."

It's a valid concern taken to such extreme that it's used as a political slogan anyone can hide behind and forces laymen to pick a side, it's the tech equivalent of putting your fingers in your ears and shouting "I can't hear you! Bitcoin causes climate change!" If you hate climate change, you MUST hate Bitcoin or you're an hypocrite.

The discourse has fallen off a cliff on the side of maximalists and cryptohaters alike. It's just idiots shouting at each other and probably one of the biggest intellectual voids on HN today: there is no intelligent discussion about crypto that can be made in here since 2018 or so when they all decided to pick a side and turn their brains off.

Whatever happened to "intellectual curiosity" and hacker spirit? Sign of the times I guess.
On a related subject, I can understand why reserve banks and governments think that they can use money printing as an incentive mechanism to fight against climate change, but so far, it does not seem to be effective because government bureaucrats are terrible stakeholders when it comes to the climate; they do not have the ability to differentiate between the kinds of ventures which will genuinely help to fight climate change and those which are merely engaging in green-washing... And it's too easy for government officials to claim plausible deniability when their true intentions have been to help their corporate friends get their hands on big stacks of public 'ESG' money.

I think the problem both has to do with incentives (since government bureaucrats do not 'own' the climate; it's not really their problem) and also with capabilities (they generally do not have the scientific knowledge/qualifications or the critical thinking skills required to be able to effectively make such decisions). Climate change is a very complex topic, it's probable that nobody in the world fully understands all the dynamics which drive it because every single thing (living and non-living) which exists on this planet is a factor contributing either towards or against global warming and everything is interconnected with complex feedback loops... So it's difficult to see how politicians who do not have any scientific background would be able to know how to allocate funding to fight climate change.

There are also many scientists who reject the notion of man-made climate change altogether; in this case, the whole global warming narrative could be seen as nothing but a giant financial scheme to launder freshly printed money from governments to large corporate entities under the ESG label.

Multiple problems here that give insight into the organization itself:

1) Normal Agile development and scrum cycle empowers engineers to take their own tasks from the queue at the beginning of the cycle, and focus on those. There is no top-down management unless at the beginning of the cycle some tasks are prioritized. This simply conveys to managers what is going on, for them to relay and forecast to other stakeholders. Bob doesn't have this, the manager doesn't have this. So, what are they doing at that organization?

2) "Promotion to a managerial role" is an antiquated concept, many tech companies are very familiar with this quagmire that developers don't want to not be developers, and so there are higher compensation tracks on the developer side in parallel to the managerial side, instead of one or the other for "advancement". The observation that this organization does not have this kind of leveling also says a lot about how it is managed.

Until these bottlenecks are filled, it is going to be difficult to address Bob's understimulation.

Theoretically, the "community" would contain a pool of people who have done significant introspection and developed self-control.

> table and column names are German abbreviations too).

This was the craziest part of doing SAP development. (I'll admit this is an America-centric viewpoint.) But the codes to get to various screens were (to me) totally random. e.g. to create a purchase order, the code is ME21N. Only after 6 months, did my German boss let me in on the secret that all the codes "made sense" if you knew the German phrase for "purchase order" or whatever.

Non-objective arguments. The regions that the people are moving away from seem to be high cost of living regions. The regions that they are moving to seem to be low cost of living regions. Tax does not seem relevant there.
The government funding mechanism doesn’t incentivize cost optimization, and in my experience, does the opposite. Money is allocated to be spent and if not spent is “lost” and may be cut from subsequent budget years. This leads to massive end of year purchases to use remaining funds or starting unnecessary projects just because money was allocated, regardless of whether needs have changed.

It’s a really broken system that no one seems interested in fixing.

Incorrect, the can still be cooled but rivers must be kept below 28 degrees [1]. Because apparently the fish in this one stretch of river are more important than global climate change. Perhaps the takeaway is that we should reconsider the acceptable impact on local environment given the impact on global environment.
