Markets existed for six thousand years, they predate ancient egypt. It is scientists and engineers who raised our standars of living, and they appeared recently. It is absolutely perserve for proponents of markets to take credit they do not deserve.

Take the invention of Penicilin, Alexander Flemming raised our standards of living while working at a public hospital. It was british and US governments who established mads manufacturing of it, not markets. The inventor never became a billionaire.

Most inventors never do.

Years mean nothing, you have to invest in decades.

Object detection is an issue, but it doesn't only apply to "moving" objects. The current state of the art is having trouble differentiating between a "solid" stationary object like a tire or chunk of metal that must be navigated around, and something like an empty plastic bag that can be safely ignored. Regarding infrastructure, AVs also seem to have a lot of trouble with faded lane lines on roads.

I'd say that the closest 12 Factor concept is "Backing services": https://12factor.net/backing-services

Whenever there is something that might need to service more than one request, reach for attached external resources. You don't want to store business state (e.g. something like the current status of an auction or its bids) in application memory, unless you're okay with your app being a singleton application: one that can only ever have a single instance running concurrently, with all of the risks that it brings.

Similarly, if your application generates reports, generally it's good to put them somewhere like S3 and perhaps persist the metadata about this, instead of just spewing them in your local file system, because at a certain scale there are issues related to the filesystem approach (e.g. max number of files in a folder, inode limits), though admittedly something like ActiveStorage in Ruby at least makes an honest attempt at solving it for most folks.
This is a common rhetoric by [neo]liberals like Bill Gates, Pinker (both friends with Epstein too…), Peterson, Bari Weiss. Pinker has at least one book wholly focused on this rhetoric. The problem is, this stuff could have been said 20, 50, or 150 years ago. Always can say “look at all the progress, why are people complaining about stuff”. And this is what has happened historically. People want to keep the status quo. Not rock anything.

If we all thought this way, then gay people will never get to the point of being treated like any other person instead of having more difficult lives in many places still. Can substitute gay people for all sorts like trans people or black people/minorities in some circumstances.
Huge waste of money that could have been poured into public transport to actually solve our problems and improve our lives. What a tragedy.
Fantastically.

The new one had "hand rolled cryptography", which should make you twitch uncontrollably if you know anything about security.

The new application had, among other failings, hard-coded (unchangeable!) RSA keys used for communication channels. As in, all customers shared the same keys. I can't remember the exact specifics, but I swear at some point there was something like encrypted JSON in XML. Or was it encrypted XML in JSON? Does it matter which?

The old app that I wrote would happily take JavaScript or SQL snippets as inputs to any text field and do The Right Thing.

You don't want to know what happened to the new app when it was tested with malicious inputs.

The testing team were told "not to go too hard on it", because that would "derail the project".

Do you know if redispatch costs are included as part of your transmission costs and how much they are? Because if they are, then investing into the transmission lines can decrease transmission costs since the providers need to pay less for redispatch.
I don't disagree with any of that (and excellent work; the Wild West days were hard to get past)...

... But we both arrive at the same place, where if a site works on incumbent browsers (by spec or by shared quirk because in an ambiguity of the spec everyone lucked into the same implementated behavior) and not an outlier browser, and the site is popular, users perceive the outlier to be broken. Because users don't understand this problem space by parsing specs; they understand it as "well it works on my sister's computer when she double-clicks the rainbow circle; I guess the compass just doesn't work with the whole web. Maybe I should just get myself a rainbow circle." Hence, the existence of a Quirks.cpp file.
No it's the difference between probability and conditional probability. Both individuals and authorities have demonstrated the same probability of just delivering their preconceived bias when it really matters.

As for social networks. Both businesses and reddit'ers gain reputation by simply saying things others want them to say. Your theories all depend on people wanting the truth, as opposed to being told what they want to hear.

Nothing says self driving cars can’t phone a call center for the 0.001% edge cases. Just add a cellphone connection and a Starlink receiver in the roof for a backup. At which point we would need to add some cell reception to some tunnels and cars can have literally global coverage.

>Section 230 sought to undo a 1995 court decision that threatened to snuff out online conversations

Are we still doing "Said the actress to the bishop"? (my emphasis added) because I laughed a bit at that part. (And yeah, we're still doing phrasing, if you are still reading these.)

The Supreme Court makes a lot of weird decisions... someone once explained to me that presidents get a lot of protection from something called the "Secret Service", so they often take more risks. (I quit drinking hard liquor with strangers. You're forgiven.)

Weirdly, the same laws and norms around the killing of judges exist -- you can get in just as much trouble threatening to, attempting to, or actually taking a shot at a judge.

(In fact, many people don't know that Lee Harvey Oswald considered killing a judge before he settled on good 'ol JFK.)

Anyways, I'm not a lawyer, but personally, speaking as just one guy who shifted my focus to section 231[0] after a layoff in 2020ish, I don't always understand why Supreme Court justices make these decisions.

Even if we add more justices to the court, the meta level issue that they cannot all be protected from violence remains.

I assume it's public knowledge they just... ride around the city on WMATA or whatever sometimes? It's a remarkably entitled and privileged way to live, given that those of us who were born after the fall of the USSR could always choose to pack up and leave, tomorrow, if enough bad decisions were made.

(But just so we're clear, I'm not advocating for the murder of Supreme Court justices -- just expressing sincere concern what might happen if an insurrection style event targeted them instead of Congress as I list of things I've observed, havn.)

The codebase should be as boring as the developer is experienced and the project is complex.

In other words: a total beginner will find any codebase interesting/exciting and if the project is just complex enough, it will benefit from some techniques/technologies that are not familiar to most people and therefore not boring.

Yeah, you can absolutely overengineer, but it's not like every codebase were better off if it's "boring".

Also, we make progress. Before, statical typesystems had a benifit but also made code much more verbose and were sometimes very annoying. We improved here, but it means that someone has to be the first one to use a new language with helpful features. Is rust boring? No, but that doesn't mean it's not the best choice for some teams and projects.

> Can you argument your desire for a quantifiable evidence without begging the question?

Don't fall back to sophistry. Is there evidence? yes or no, if yes then show me.

> There is research compatible with these claims. It's mentioned and linked in the link I've previously provided.

I'm downloading the single video which mentions the word evidence. If there is any more evidence links, please show me them, especially written evidence, and especially especially, empirical evidence.

Edit: right, they're saying that experience is essential to reality. They provide evidence in the form of quantum experiments. I can provisionally accept that, very provisionally. Does it say anything about what consciousness actually is, which is what you (seemed to) claim? Haven't found any sign of that yet.
I don't remember where, but I heard a podcast with someone who did music promotion for some of these artists. They would call the newspapers and feed them stories about the terrible musicians who do things like "eat bats live on stage", to get outraged parents to boycott these concerts. This was a very successful promotional effort for them.
> I've encountered a code written in the 12factor style of using environment variables for configuration, and in that particular case there was no validation nor documentation of the configuration options. Is this typical?

This just feels like bad development and isn't unlike being given a random .properties/.ini file with no explanations of what the values mean. Sounds like someone didn't do their job, or the processes to encourage (require) them to do so weren't in place.

> For onboarding new members, I would have thought it preferable to have a JSON configuration, where both documentation and validation of configuration options are provided by a JSON Schema file.

You know, this can work, but then you need your applications to be able to read that file and feeding it in through your container management solution (which many use for a variety of reasons) wouldn't be as easy. Even without containers, you'd still need to look out so you don't end up with 20 JSON files all of which might need to be changed for a new environment.

Honestly, something like JSON5 https://json5.org/ was pretty cool because of added comments, but otherwise JSON is a bit cumbersome to use. That said, some web servers like Caddy have gone for accepting JSON configuration as well, which lends itself nicely to automation, so it's still a valid approach: https://caddyserver.com/docs/json/
CPAN was roughly contemporary, and about at the time when "downloading" became an option.

But on the general notion, I'd vehemently disagree. Not having stuff in your standard library but spread about is one of the worst things the languages in this generation copied from C++. Give me a good standard library. Maybe factor out the UI and definitely truly adjacent packages like Obliq.

Note that a huge library also didn't hurt Java too much. And there it was even worse, as you had to distribute most of it as a runtime, whereas a compiled language usually gets by with less (take this with a grain of salt, I don't remember how huge Modula-3's equivalent to MSVCRT was back then on Windows, for example).
I do pay for the FT and agree it's worth it but it pisses me off that they still serve you ads.

you're assuming your conclusion
For mildly interesting code that you can realistically write yourself, there isn't a strict need to share code and cross polinate. Every little shop has a certain budget to try out new things, play around, and learn. If we come up with more or less the same things, that's fine.

I'm much more fond of sharing ideas than sharing code. IMO developers' understanding is at least as important as the economics of crafting code.

Of course you can't rewrite Postgres for your CRUD project. It's fine to use third party projects but there might be less need than one would assume. A lot of projects don't need a full-blown database, and I'd find it great if there was more practical reasearch how to design minimal storage systems for example. I'd bet that the majority of all apps that depend on Postgres would easily fit in RAM, forever. That could mean one could get rid of SQL, or could apply other simplifications.
If you're relying only on cameras, then yes, that's an issue. Level 4 vehicles can locate themselves without the need for lines on the road. Everything has been carefully mapped out ahead of time.
Our parents are those who introduce us to the joy of music, and eventually we are destined to criticize and question their choices as we form our own unique relationship with music through guitar and piano lessons, etc. My dad, now 8 years gone, was an ex-singer in the US Navy band from the early 1960s and in our house in the early 80s he'd often play Sinatra albums as well as other show tune type fare featuring a big band and heavy voice.

What I get now is how he used his albums to travel back in time to re-live glory days of when he was seeing the world and watching the effect his voice would have on people in different ports. Using your voice to make music is such a personal form of expression.

Understanding the music choices of your parents is one way of knowing who they were, often to some surprise after they are gone. I'm left with his albums now and they help me make that connection with the past and a renewed love for music back from the time when I was first learning it singing with him.

I'm pretty sure my point was the only reason for harvesting snow crab is that it is lucrative for these fisherman, yet snow crab isn't an important staple of any diet, so there was absolutely no compelling societal reason to fish them into population collapse or extinction, not even greed. My suspicion is the majority of the product here was wasted, rotted and discarded, so we should really put pressure on commercial fishers in the US and abroad to find another way to support themselves in order to stop them from killing everything in the ocean rather than romanticize a way of life that is economically and ecologically unsustainable, such as is inexplicably done for ranchers, nor should we frame them as sympathetic victims of climate change.

> Can't tell if you are joking or not.

I could say the same about your comment! The ocean is a big place with more than a billion billion liters of water, you can't meaningfully heat it up with a power plant.

With that logic, you couldn't build any power plant with air cooling either since it would heat up the air.

If you want to make a general argument against all power generation that's fine, but singling out ocean cooling specifically doesn't make sense - especially since ocean and air temperatures obviously affect each other.

"It is just that we, Arabs, are a radically different culture that values stability and tradition. Something of the sort of “People should mind their own business”. Free speech undermines both. It’s a significant cultural difference that the west has no intent to respect, because they regard it as oppressive."

This is an interesting remark that gave me some new insight into Arabic culture.

That said, free speech wasn't a value in much of the West either, much less in places like Taiwan that are now democratic. Most of Europe was pretty conservative in the 19th century and the revolutionaries who fought for liberal values were mostly educated city folk, a smallish class.

The value of free speech is in the fact that it prevents the country from committing some serious mistakes, or at least reduces chances thereof. Authoritarian systems look awesome from the outside, while democracies with their free speech are obviously messy and chaotic. But in the long run, authoritarian systems tend to commit fatal mistakes like going into an all-out war that they lose (it is happening right in front of us in Ukraine), because no one dared defy the Emperor.

The stability of yesteryear is now gone. With the Internet, any idea can reach any audience in milliseconds, and Arab societies, like those conservative European societies earlier, will have to live with the inherent chaos. IDK what is means for the future of Islam; Christianity in Europe has already collapsed or is (demographically) collapsing. Even in former strongholds like Poland, the majority of young people are no longer religious and this trend, once it sets in, has proven almost impossible to reverse.

I noticed the same trend among youngsters in Turkey, though Turkey isn't an Arab country; but it is an important trendsetter in the Islamic world.
I like the insight that the the depressed don't suffer from the feeling of depression, they suffer from an ecology of mutually reinforcing emotions; cf. the picture on https://medium.com/@makinwellness/how-depression-actually-fe...

'Feeling nothing' I don't believe is a thing, rather the failure to know what you feel means you have isolated your consciousness from awareness of how you actually feel. That's a sign of the disconnection you are talking about.

Connecting with others is hugely important, but also a hard step. Exercise can help, and can be seen as connecting with yourself. Don't attack yourself for failing to meet any particular exercise target, though.
