> It's fucking 2022.

The year is only an argument on 90s daytime talk shows.

> If someone needs psychological safety before they are disagreed to, I say they need psychological help.

What if somebody needs safety safety, because the person they're disagreeing with is more powerful than they are? Any "psychological" safety you're seeing here is people trying to muster up enough bravery to take a real risk for the possibly dubious reward of being right.

I'm not even making any moral judgements here. There are plenty of contexts where if you're going to act out on your disagreements with me, I'd prefer to find somebody either more tactical or more pliable to take your place.
on the other hand, does that mean you're obligated to be in oil producing countries? how does the geopolitics of that work?

Common carrier laws are the exception, however. Arguably, the big tech platforms of today have more power and influence over the public square, than ISPs did in the past.

Arguing in favor of making clear legal distinctions between humans and corporations does not automatically imply denying them a right to free speech. It may seem that way when we say: the declaration of human rights does not apply to corporations, because they are inhuman, but we actually argue in favor of a declaration of corporate rights, not against it. The key point is that Corporations are more than just groups of people. But more so we want this distinction because we want an effective Corporate Criminal Law.
We recently converted our cabin in Alaska to a BlazeKing. Best decision ever! Absolute game changer.
Late, but my understanding is that in the non-FAANG world this is extremely true. If you are currently employed you are desirable and they have to lure you away. If not, you are some desperate loser who got fired god-knows-why in the recruiter's eyes.

This may be mitigated at FAANG because they vet heavily on leetcode grind.
elixir's strength is really the dev experience, agreed. i think if the community had leaned harder into that aspect and less on the 'whole new paradigm' aspect of the language it would have been more successful. people want to do the same thing they are doing now but in a more pleasant way. very few people want a revolution
aka the subtle art of a55 kissing.

if you’re open to it ;) imo we do a terrible job of training managers to be leaders instead of “bosses”. we have an absurd view of leadership equating to a person’s value being higher.

it’s not. when you work in management you have a role to perform, but if you have a culture that has to work to assuage you in order to disagree with you then you should probably find a different job.

Ah got it. I assumed you meant that Adobe XD trailed it’s competitors in features and quality.

Now I understand you mean in market share. Yes that’s true but I wonder how shaky this is considering the increasingly poor foundations. This sort of thing starts slowly then it all collapses in a wave (the same way Figma exploded in usage).

Autodesk was considered unassailable and now I know studios try to avoid working with their software more and more. In many areas - modelling for games in particular - 3ds Max has fallen off in favor of other apps like Blender. In motion Design Cinema 4D has taken over. It can happen.
IMO we've done a good job of securing the transport layer, most attacks these days are exploiting data at rest on the client or server.
Because in larger monorepos, by definition most of the stuff in there is irrelevant to most people. So you're waiting for checkouts to finish because of a bunch of irrelevant stuff. You're waiting for tests to finish because of a bunch of irrelevant stuff. You're waiting for requirements to update because of a bunch of irrelevant stuff. You're waiting for compilation, CI/CD, deploys, because of a bunch of irrelevant stuff.

Sure, tooling and configuration can mitigate a lot of that stuff, but most tools don't countenance codebases that are so large that most of the stuff in them is irrelevant to everyone. The natural thing to do is to split it up.

I'm personally against microservices; I think they go way too far the other way and tend to encourage some of the worst software development practices (NIH, code duplication, super weird architecture and viral explosion of dependency injection everywhere), but "we have one repo for everything" is also pretty weird. I mean, the most famous monorepos (Linux, OpenBSD, Google) literally invented tools to deal with them. That should say something.
Different things have different price changes over time.

For example, in 1973 a 2N2222 transistor was $0.79 at Radio Shack.

Today, a single 2N2222 is $1.29 at Jameco. It's $0.95 at AmplifiedParts.com. It's $7 for 100 of them at Amazon.

If we go by the price of 2N2222 transistors and use the price for single units at Jameco we get inflation of 1% per year over the last 50 years.

In 1977 the price of volume I of Apostol's "Calculus" in hardback was around $20. Now it is $153 on Amazon, for the same book. By "same book" I don't just mean hardback. I also mean the same content. It was on the 2nd edition in 1977 and Apostol saw no need for any further revisions.

Using Apostol volume I as our yardstick inflation has been 4.6% per year over the last 45 years.

The most complete way to represent inflation would be as a vector whose components are the inflation for each individual good or service.

To get a scalar for inflation they take another vector that represents how much of each good or service that some hypothetical typical consumer consumes and combine them to get what the overall inflation is for a typical consumer.

Suppose Twitter / FB were forced to comply with this law and remove censorship.

Could they do that only for accounts that are verified as being legal US citizens and continue censoring unverified accounts?

In that case I wouldn't be opposed to this, as long as it doesn't unleash a huge wave of bots.
The article (and the embedded NYT video) seem to imply that WeChat is not just a dominant app, but is pretty much the only way to do things in China. For example the quote, "try and pay with cash for lunch, and you’ll look like a luddite."

So, what if you cannot use WeChat? Or if you're banned by their AI (which happens all the time with western apps)? Or if you simply choose not to? There must be other ways to book rides, hire services, pay people, chat, E-mail, and so on.. I (in the West) opt out of using Facebook+all FB properties, Twitter, Google, and so on, and I still have the full ability to live as a normal person. Surely China has cash and the ability to book things over the phone...?
The comment you're replying to has a very specific concern: the difference between the OO and static APIs. The page you linked to didn't appear to address that, it's just a general tutorial. In fact, I can't even find where it mentions that aspect... It seems to assume you already know about that as a prerequisite.
Air quality can be an issue for asthmatics in valleys when there is atmospheric inversion (common in winter). Indoors, smoke rarely enters the home if you're using a modern stove and lighting in correctly.

Modern wood stoves are dramatically more efficient than the typical fireplace you'd remember from youth.

If anything, the issue would be high radiant heating on indoor surfaces causing evaporation and out-gassing. I have heard people complain about this, but it would generally be more of a freshly-installed or newly-built issue. Or perhaps if the home in question is built for passive heating, meaning that it's practically hermetically sealed and hence would require active ventilation.
I think you are pretty much right on all counts, probably except for the very definition of super-apps. I think the original article used the term for an app that can serve for multiple purposes, not necessarily open to 3rd parties. If we follow this definition Kakaotalk or LINE are definitely super apps, but WeChat can be considered as the second generation super app. (Third party apps in Kakaotalk or LINE are still pretty limited in this aspect to my knowledge. Kakaotalk in particular seems to have assimiliated any third-party interaction into its chatting platform.)
There is a significant financial incentive not to let [cost-ineffective] accidents happen.
Twitter is a combined microblogging and messaging service. The messaging side is unambiguously more akin to email than a newspaper. Microblogging is akin to regular blogging, albeit shortform. Regular blogging is likewise more akin to a newspaper than an email. So this side of Twitter should be considered a hosting provider for people's blogs.
Due to this hybrid hosting provider/chat service nature the question of what sort of moderation is permissible becomes complex, especially as users are prone to mixing their blog-like posts with chat-like ones.
I personally would interpret a blogging platform provider as a sort of common carrier so this mixed status doesn't change my stance that Twitter ought to do only minimal moderation for spam removal platform stability. To prevent the UX from suffering users should be empowered with their own personal moderation tools to filter posts and users. Twitter already provides such tools.
> keeping it playable is easily the most effective way of crafting a game because it enables you to routinely playtest and understand your progress.

Obviously.

> A key element of that is making the game legible and for that you do need to spend some time on “polish” because it’s an intractable element of the whole.

What does "legible" mean? Polishing means making something production-ready. A polished feature contains (ideally) no known bugs, has been thoroughly tested, gone through several UX iterations and brought up to a release standard.

That's not necessary for playtesting and improving the game. Unless you're done with all core game mechanics, you shouldn't be polishing.
If you worked on it ... is there some doc describing the general architecture? It looks like the "frontend" is typescript + c++ and the backend is ... perhaps rust, with rust being a sort of "document server". Like: one instance of the backend code manages one savefile, for potentially many clients that then see eachother's changes.

How does webassembly <> backend communication work? I imagine it's somehow websockets. How do you proxy websocket connections to the appropriate backend? How does the C++ <> rust communication work? Protobuf perhaps?
If you can smell the wood burning, you're not getting a sufficiently clean burn. The post-2020-EPA-regulation landscape for wood burning appliances in the US at least are all significantly better than the older stoves.

As for air quality, a rocket mass heater will get hot enough to put out zero CO, and most or all of the particulate will be broken down as well, but sadly there's only one device I know of that is UL-certified. They are very much a niche concept; most stoves and masonry heaters will be putting out some, and in a city there'll be enough that it'll have an effect on health.
Government creates laws which permit or forbid corporations from doing things all the time. In this case, laws allowing corporations to restrict free speech are balanced against laws which forbid such restriction on private citizens, and the constitutional law which says 'government cannot restrict free speech' is interpreted to mean also government cannot permit corporations to restrict free speech. Not a hard concept, for a modern law scholar, or a constitutional law scholar. The idea that speech can be restricted by a private entity in the US is the stretch that originalists would have a problem with (e.g. you can yell fire in a crowded theater and policies to the contrary are prior restraint and unlawful by corporations or by governments).

You could always write a letter and post it.

Today, yes you can still write a letter, but without the 1000x powers of instant digital communication and amplification, your opinions are essentially worthless.

Scale matters.

Two companies (Apple and Google) can effectively kick your app out of mainstream reach.

Two companies (Facebook and Twitter) can effectively deplatform and silence you.

This level of consolidation and relative power, has never occurred before.

The status quo needs to change.
Modernist Pizza Review
If you really truly want to look at it through a startup lens, there is a LOT you can learn in big tech, you will improve your skills, grow as a person, be able to have a personal life (except if you go with Amazon) and get paid a shitload of money to do it. It is an incredibly sweet deal.

Yeah, match the hatch matters, but not as much as you think if you give them something else juicy.

I live on a class 1 trout stream. I've talked to plenty of fancily dressed fly fisherman in for tourism struggling to catch large trout. I do better with a worm or grasshopper on a hook. And the funniest of all is that the biggest browns I've caught were using bread by the local hydroelectric dam because people feed the ducks there and the trout adapted.

Fish are fish. Trout are nothing special. The environmental beauty is still there when using a spinning rod.
If the claim is that restricting tech companies ability to censor is against the 1st amendment, you are implicitly making the claim that no, Congress cannot pass laws to restrict tech companies ability to censor.

Honest question from someone with little context: How does this argument not also apply to Citizen's United, or corporate personhood more generally? Is the argument that compelling a corporation to do something compels the individuals within the organization (infringing on their rights), while not giving an organization a right does not infringe upon the individuals rights (which they can exercise individually instead)?

Hay = Preserved food for animals. Made from whole grasses and legumes. Hay is green/brown.

Straw = not food. Made from the stalks (waste product) of wheat, barley, rice, etc. Use for livestock bedding, insulation, construction material, mulch. Or burned like wood. Usually yellow.

Entirely different product. Only thing they have in common is that they both come in the form of bales.

This is a fantastic comment. I just wish it was root-level rather than one deep, so it could be voted to the top. I'd read your blog if you had one linked.

I'm utterly baffled by the number of commenters here on the side of Texas, who see any limitation on a free-for-all internet commenting as a kind of censorship. You're nailing all of the reasons why it's such an unworkable idea.
Given that this is an article about Texas, you seem to be using a quite expansive definition of "this country" if it includes London and Edinburgh.
This is because antitrust laws in the US have been reinterpreted by the courts to only apply where there is an adverse impact on consumers. In order to punish anticompetitive behavior that negatively affects workers in keeping with existing precedents, they get into redefining workers as consumers.
"A fully unsafe language in 2022 is dumb."

I think this is a subtweet at Zig, and while I am not a zig developer, I will point something out that everyone forgets (to defend C++ and Zig and the like): Some apps don't need memory safety.

For example a single player game or application that runs just on your own machine, memory safety would just be another type of bug.

If dealing with Rust's ownership rules is annoying and you don't want a GC, then you can certainly use an unsafe language. Not all apps are websites and browsers.

I would also add (I could be wrong here) but I think things written in web assembly can also be unsafe, as the memory is in a sandbox. I think I heard this once, but I could be wrong.
I also spent a lot of my 20s coding for FAANG and while I am able to retire at 35, once I met my future wife and had kids I realized just how empty my life was with just work. There’s a lot of lies we tell ourselves to settle with a hobby or piece of work that causes us to miss out of the real riches of life.
>US border forces are seizing Americans' phone data and storing it for 15 years

The only reason they could possibly be doing this would be because it is not quite feasible to store it for more than 15 years. Yet.
Get that bag dude.
That isn’t enough if the plans which are enacted have unintended undesirable consequences.
The FTC is empowered by congress with the mandate of ensuring "consumer protection", so if they want to make a land-grab and expand their mandate, they have to twist the definition somehow to make their legal authority nominally cover it.
You are trying to thread a needle around the contradiction but I don't think it works.

The "endless amount of money" pumped is due to corporate personhood and an expansive definition of free speech rights.

By this logic, we should repeal all of our product safety laws, and just let people boycott products that end up killing their users a lot.

While I would like to see C++ improve, I would argue that this really is reinventing the wheel when Carbon is being worked on.

I guess the only thing cppfront would offer is mixed syntax within one file, but I could even see Carbon implementing something like that.
It states that " Nearly 40% of Europe’s so-called renewable energy is currently obtained by combusting wood, much of it coming from forests in the US." And that uses a lot more co2 than the carbon neutrality of wood implies. I'm in a dire need of a citation on that "coming from USA" part though.

I don't know about nation wide deals about pellet based energy sources but there's no way anyone chooses USA made pellet over a local firewood seller for home. And around me (EU) local wood supply can be found like everywhere...

> He was working in software at the time because it’s hard to make a living as a philosopher.

Yeah, there are a lot of us. Spend a few years deeply studying logic and reasoning, and programming really just feels like a different version of the same thing.

Learning an algorithm is very similar to learning an argument or a proof, and designing algorithms is very similar to designing arguments.
Definitely the first and biggest step in the right direction. But it would mostly be, well, catching up on most western countries. However those countries are also complaining about gig workers being taken advantage of.
Off the top of your head, do you have simple examples of this? I know a bit of Rust but I assumed (apparently wrongly!) that safe-within-unsafe should just work.
> ...people are not starting new projects in C++. It is a fact...

That's absolutely not true. I've seen plenty of new projects in C++ in the last month alone. A lot of the time when someone writes a binary wheel for python, it's in C++ for example. I'd ask for citation, but I can't imagine how someone would demonstrate a negative claim like this.
