With regard to the first point, the examples may be hypothetical, but they are also very plausible.

When a change has little or no objective benefit, I feel the burden of demonstrating that it is harmless falls on those making the change.

As has been pointed out elsewhere, this is free software and the maintainers are free to do whatever they like. That does not stop others having an opinion about it, especially when it is in the form of constructive criticism.

Yes, for CPU bound processed on the BEAM you'll want to use a NIF (native implemented function) but that leaves you open to taking down the entire VM with bad NIF code (segfaults, infinite loops, etc). A purported safer means to create NIFs is to use Rustler (https://github.com/rusterlium/rustler) which lets you easily write NIFs in Rust instead of C. I haven't used it but I've heard good things.

> Ha, a generation of English students will thoroughly enjoy this.

They might well do, but it was their parents that didn't stop them and say 'perhaps you ought to get a job, do an apprenticeship, or basically anything other than a BA in Madonna Studies and 70k in debt by the time you're 21'.

This is another political legacy of Blair trying to get every kid through university and has resulted in pointless degrees and an increasing percentage of the population in debt. And can't afford to get on the house ladder.
Of course, if the person with intent to do you harm is motivated by a dispute over energy then making energy much more available would change his intent. For instance, who will fight oil wars if the price of oil is 10x cheaper? Who will fund global terrorism if Saudi Arabia has to build an actual economy? Who will kill their neighbour to steal bread when the price of bread is much lower because cheap energy means cheap fertiliser, cheap irrigation, cheap transportation etc and the price of bread is suddenly very affordable?

On the other hand, we could ignore energy and just hope for a sudden unexpected change in human nature and economics?

> How is it fair the someone gets to own large swaths of the planet

No person owns large swathes of our planet.

> I wasn't advocating for communism

Hard to know where else commenters are going if they're saying the government should be allowed to seize property from people it defines as "people who deserve to have their property seized".

> This system is not sustainable, and just like laws, it should be updated to account for current conditions.

A large factor in current conditions is the constriction of supply by regulation. Trying to socially engineer cities has vote-winning, short term positive consequences (rent control means your rent doesn't change! Hooray!) and predictable but overlooked non-short term enormous negative consequences (it's not worth landlords' time to upkeep properties! It's only worth building luxury apartments!)

Before we say "the government should just come in and take property in the name of redistribution, the way they did in the USSR", perhaps we should consider some alternatives. Saying "there's a problem; here's a solution; if you disagree with my solution than you are saying there's no problem" is a syllogism as old as time.
Theoretically couldn't an Android app be built using notification access to track notification history and coalate messaging notifications (combining notifications from all/selected/configured) messaging apps? That sort of a "messaging hub" could be even better, frankly.
I guess the difference is the attitude - “I will try to change my preferences to suit others” vs “I will try to change others to suit my preferences”
Yes, runtypes is not the only option. But the point is that TypeScript’s type system is powerful enough to implement runtime type checking. I’m not sure what the benefit would be to adding the concept as a first-class citizen in the language.
But this is fine. The framework that the organisation develops for itself is designed to solve the problems that the organisation has.

As TFA says, one of the main problems with frameworks is that the maintainers of the framework don't share your organisation's goals, and therefore will have different problems to solve.
It is a bit hacky but you could put "grep -F" in a script file in your path.

I’ve written without a framework several times. Pretty soon realize I’m spending my time writing up a framework.

I’ve inherited non framework projects many times. They take way more time to get up to speed on.

Now I’ve seen framework projects where they clearly didn’t try and work with it. Those ones just make me sad.
People under-estimate the effort that took. I ran guilds & raids for years, and getting 25-50 people to be motivated, on time, follow doctrine, train, perform, and be available over a schedule, without any pay, that takes something that a lot of companies could do with having.
You'll get actually useful suggestions and refactoring abilities. VS Code is today still just a editor with syntax highlighting and very basic suggestions. Even with language servers it can't come close to what JetBrains does.

JetBrains first major product was an addon to improve the suggestion abilities of Visual Studio, and VS Code is a downgrade even compared to normal VS

So has the average compensation for banks vs private sector in 1950 vs 2020.

Why? The job roles have shifted. A large state DMV in that era was probably 90% clerical, with 12-15k workers. Now they are 80% professional with 2-4K workers. An organization like a Department of Labor probably employed 5-7k tabulators, statisticians and clerical staff, all replaced by computers, spreadsheets and a small number of professionals tending to those processes.

In a bank, similar things happened. Armies of tellers are gone and only exist as salespeople today. Nobody is data entering check numbers. And cash disappears, the overhead of dealing with it does too.

In private sector as a whole, the trend is the opposite. Labor transformation and technology displaced workers and dumbed down jobs. Look at retail - malls are empty and run with skeleton crews… stores manage surges by putting staff on call, and making customers do labor for them.
Why switch context? Everybody that matters to everybody I now is on whatsapp. I actually like this distinction Europe vs US - we don't have any personal ego polishing at stake and chest thumping about how country XYZ is greatest, we take what we consider best for us, facts are enough.

Fearmongering about China is also less intense here, as if one had to realize that most top android models are not made in China, and one could construct a very effective and truthful fearmongering campaign about US too, since various US laws and 3-letter agencies consider all of us sub-humans and US government is quite often rather unfriendly and spying on us.

At least western part of Europe has average purchase power on par with US average, so phone prices (unsubsidized) are not a factor that much. Even when factoring in subsidizing in US, it doesn't explain whole picture on itself.

And we actually care about this tiny blue planet by our actions, so our actions are as they are (few phone replacements, ie I see most IT colleagues in our bank all making nice 6-figure US-equivalent salaries on pretty old phones, be it apple or android). You really can't impress anybody with your phone if we talk about mature folks, an attempt would cast a rather bad light on your character.

There are others, but the one that comes to mind for smartphones and other small devices is MessagEase. [1]

They offer apps for Android, iOS and Windows. I use the Android version. I love using it although it is sometimes buggy (display gets stuck on letters/digits and you have to remember where the digit/letter you want to enter is located) and backspacing over a lot of text (instead of selecting and cutting it) is always very slow.

The issue isn't logic. It's in worldview.

If you're more left wing, you probably view the state as a parent who can be trusted to confiscate and dole things out fairly.

If you're right wing you probably view the state as a necessary evil for providing specific services that can't be provided fairly purely through people making agreements with each other.

If you're the former, you may well think that the state seizing property in the name of redistribution will solve more problems than it causes. If you're the latter, it's the other way round.
Yes because the original question I replied to was

Practice. Just do it. Start doing it. Something. Anything. Start with any project that is meaningful to you. It doesn't need to be large or have business value.

You can start with a tutorial that covers building up a small project just to get that first introduction with the technology stack, but don't get into the tutorial loophole because it is usually one way (step by step) learning.
Is it wrong that sceptical of pro-microsoft reviews? They have such a long history of manipulating the tech press...
I am a big believer that the primary business benefit of frameworks is that they ease hiring (candidate selection). There are pros and cons to that.

Where I currently work they primarily rely on nontechnical qualities for candidate selection because they are more interested in choosing the right people than a tool user. Either way they will be investing time in training in some form and would rather that training focus on the business objectives than the technical objectives. Counter-intuitively I was entering the code earlier here than at previous employers even though I am writing in a language I have never touched before. This is likely because I entered this employment drowning in deliberate one-on-one training.

One of the most practical: Negative Income Tax (NIT) is mathematically very similar to UBI (and should have similar effects)

I'm reminded of optimization methods, but with money instead of with RAM or CPU. You get the effect of spending all of the money, but you can do most of the work on paper. Whether the remaining cost is worth it is then a political decision, but not unworkable.

I really can't blame the guy. Imagine the evolution vs creationism "debates" of the 21st century and the creationists asking for "the other view" to be represented in public schools when we know for a fact that life and speciation didn't just appear ex-nihilo.

Honestly, I think someone needs to ridicule the ridiculous.

Sublime Text (https://www.sublimetext.com/) is fantastic. Startup time is instant. RAM usage is low. It'll do syntax highlighting out of the box. And with a few extensions (optional) it'll do almost everything that VS Code does (sublime-lsp is key for IDE-like functionality). It's also great for large files so long as they'll fit in RAM.

Bonus: it works cross platform (windows/mac/linux).
> The focus is on assigning blame and just (fair) punishment. ISTM a better framing might be to determine the desired outcome and how best to achieve it. How likely is someone to re-offend, and what is the best intervention to reduce that likelihood?

That would be rational, and, especially in the US, our criminal justice system very rarely intersects with rationality. In general, it's based on what will provide the most extreme emotional response among voters.

Hell, apple themselves pretty much taken this approach with every other product they have, so it’s not like they didn’t okay over USB-C for years. My guess would be that they deliberately waited out the EU mandate, so any minor public inconvenience that may come from ditching lightning can be forwarded to EU ruling instead of them, they are absolutely okay either way.
It's a bit too late to try and shoehorn half-floats into the mix.

They are super good for so many things but to have converting back and forth for different systems is over engineered, so before ALL systems support them they probably wont take off.

It's a chicken and egg problem. Khronos should have thought about it earlier!

In my particular case Raspberry 4 GPU does NOT support them in drivers yet. And I cannot rely on them being implemented properly.

> Cameron was a disaster. Austerity was incredibly cruel on the poorest of the population, and the UK wasn't exactly a shining light in its recovery from the financial crisis.

Although austerity did indeed start under the coalition (so it has the Lib Dems' fingerprints on it), didn't much of what many dislike about Cameron's premiership stem from after the end of the coalition?

> He led a weak remain campaign and then stepped aside as soon as Brexit became difficult, and the following governments have had to deal with his mess

He was rumoured to have campaigned in the 2015 general election on the assumption he'd renew the coalition with the Lib Dems, who would block the EU referendum he'd promised his voters, and who he could continue using as a human shield. But the backlash against the Lib Dems after just one term of coalition with him was so severe that he had to lead a single-party majority government and uphold his negotiating position as if it were a plan for government.

Australia's gun buy back could be considered a real political compromise, if you're willing to consider no one is happy with the results. IE total gun owners lowered from 6 percent something to half that. Number of guns per owner went considerably up, and total guns imported each year is higher than it's ever been.

Basically when you see an extreme (American) view on gun control trying to use Australia as an argument for their policy, you should just laugh at them. The numbers are so "inconclusive"/"manipulatable" that such a view can use the numbers to say whatever they want to their own uncritical base.

I've worked on projects that use frameworks, and don't.

My experience:

1. Frameworks do save time at the start of the project. There's lots of stuff that comes for free and it does get the project going faster.

2. Every project that uses a framework (and survives long enough) ends up fighting that framework. And the more comprehensive the framework, the quicker the project reaches this point and the harder the fight is.

3. If the team doesn't know the framework well at the start of the project, most of the speed gains at the start are lost, and most of the issues with the framework later are worse.

In my experience (almost 30 years now), using libraries instead of frameworks gets most of the benefits and stops most of the pain.

> many sophisticated concurrent objects require a tracing GC for implementing correctly

What sort of "sophisticated concurrent objects" are you thinking of?
Yes, I had several issues with Blair, Brown and Cameron for different reasons, but it seems like both parties have produced a strikingly poor crop of leaders ever since that generation holding the 'centre ground'.
Not a founder here, so I'm just giving a general leadership perspective.

I think you should completely disregard the vesting in your decision-making. I'm guessing you've not developed a performance management process in your business yet. You've highlighted that you gave feedback, however I'm not sure if you've set out a process by which they stay or go.

This isn't the end of the world, you can do this process now:

1. Give feedback on the behaviour (you've already done this)

2. Escalate the feedback to a written warning, highlight what you want to see change and when by

3. Once that date passes, if the change hasn't occurred, let them go

This process doesn't need to take very long: it should depend on expected timeline to make these kinds of changes. If these are behavioural issues, then 2-4 weeks should be sufficient.

Assuming the person doesn't change, you'll let them go. This will be a shock to your other employees, so call a meeting with everyone afterwards. Make it clear (without going deep into the details) that this was a performance-related sacking. Highlight the fact you gave feedback, with clear and actionable steps to improve, but the situation didn't work out.

If this seems onerous consider it this way: you're not doing this for the team member you're letting go. You're doing it for the rest of the team. You want to reassure them that you're not just looking to screw the team out of vested shares and that, if you haven't discussed performance issues with them, there's nothing for them to worry about.
Inflation and Real Estate
I am sympathetic. From someone who completed his degree in the last decade, I offer my perspective on this sort of thing.

When I completed my degree and got the eventual one year look back survey, I actually called out the explosion in faculty electing to use third party services which weren’t vetted by or supported by the university. One of my chief complaints was that students had no recourse other than to agree to arbitrary terms and sometimes pay arbitrary amounts to companies that were clearly monetizing our data.

(Although that last part isn’t as much a concern here.)

I can imagine if I was required to use something that made my coursework public, I would have simply gone to the CISO Office or the Student Ombudsman if not offered an alternative.
> I think this is a scam in the same way that pushes for term limits for politicians are a total scam: https://www.vox.com/polyarchy/2016/10/18/13323842/trump-term...

There are problems with term limits, indeed... but is the alternative really to keep the status quo and have essentially a generation of wealthy gerontocrats in power who are completely disconnected from the reality of life for many of their constituents, not to mention who are fucking over the planet? Politics needs continuous supply of fresh blood, people who grew up with computers and no fossils unable to read e-mails that aren't printed out by aides for them. And of young people who have realized that it is no longer possible to join a company at 16 for an apprenticeship and leave it for pension at 65, or that a single earner can no longer afford a comfortable home.

And while we are at it: We need not just term limits, we especially need age caps for politicians and corporate officials. Reach pension age and you're irrevocably out. Here in Germany, old buffoons at the helm of companies who refuse to use computers are the single worst issue for the German Mittelstand. Companies that can't adapt because the owner is stuck in 1960 mentally will wither and die eventually - and while I don't care about ignorant owners, I do care about the employees and the loss of economic contributions.
