Code reviews must have a higher priority than new development. In a team it should complete within hours. The process also needs to be opinion free. There should be a checklist to go through. A code review is not the place to talk about other potential solutions. Also, absolutely no testing during reviews.

There's so many incorrect statements in your post I don't know where to start, but:

We don't recycle aluminium because mining/smelting all the aluminium would be noticeably bad.

Nor do we recycle paper and other wood products because cutting all the trees down would be bad.

Burying plastics in landfills is regularly shown to be less desireable than recycling (and even burning with energy recovery while fossil fuels are still in use).

You've created a world of confusion to justify some vague fossil fuel propaganda you were subjected to. And now you're complaining that people won't listen to your "reasonable" argument.

After this change, the TypeScript compiler will now be compiled with esbuild. I feel like thats probably the best endorsement esbuild could get, hah.

Surprising they call out the 2 space indent level that esbuild is hardcoded[1] to use as a benefit. Why not save even more bytes and re-format the output to single tab indentation? I wrote a simple script to replace the indentation with tabs. 2 indent size: 29.2MB, tabbed size: 27.3MB. 2MB more of indentation saved! Not significant after compression, but parsing time over billions of starts? Definitely worth it.

Thanks Grafana team, but no thanks. I've been using Grafana for years, but I started to be cautious with them, when they began to shift things around, probably due VC pressure for more $$$ or internal bureaucracy. First, they change the license to AGPL3 - I don't mind it, but a sudden license change (from a more open Apache license to a more restrictive AGPL) should raise some eyebrows.

Second, when you go to download OSS version, they will first nag you with the cloud version (I'm downloading that thing, not signing up!), then will, by default, link to the enterprise version. Something similar Elastic has done for years.

Also, their cloud offering advertises "Free Forever" (whatever) - we all know how these things end ;)
Two issues:

1. In the case of china, we are forcing them to spend more on very high tech, strategic investments, effectively accelerating their march up the value chain.

2. It's true that there is a cost in the extra R&D spending, but there is also a cost in the lost revenue of western chip makers. NVIDIA is going to take a bath -- that will cut into their R&D budget, etc.

So we are also imposing costs on our own R&D spending while accelerating the R&D spending of our adversary - and let's just admit that China is an adversary.

This is a very strange departure from how these types of trade wars have been historically waged. Normally if you want to hurt some countries' industry and help your own, you put a tariff on their stuff and you subsidize your stuff. E.g. make it harder for China to sell their cars here and easier to sell your cars there. You encourage more exports and discourage imports.

What we are doing now is making it harder to sell our stuff there, but no tariff on the importation of Chinese chips into the U.S. So we are discouraging exports without blocking imports. And this policy is supposed to hurt China and help the US, which I find completely baffling.

This is, unfortunately, par for the course with sanctions mania, where the only policy lever we appear to have with anyone is sanctions. These sanctions are economically disastrous for the US and for Western nations generally. The only thing I can think of is that because we don't see the impact when we sanction small nations such as Cuba, we think there will still be no impact when we sanction big economies. But there is an impact, and future economic historians will look on this period of sanctions as being far more economically suicidal than the mania on trade barriers. Because a sanction is just a one way trade barrier -- directed only at yourself and your own industry.

Regardless of opinions, the sheer volume of his output is a tad overwhelming. I do wish he had taken Mathematica down a different path (just imagine if it was truly broadly available at non-insane pricing as a local native app, almost as a stupefyingly flexible Jupyter), and I find the Wolfram Language too unwieldy for some things, but if you can see past the self-branding and unusual viewpoints, Mathematica is prety awesome.

buildings teams is part of my day job, Musk's ability to get the right people in the right spot at the right time and motivated is his biggest gift IMO. If you're good at that then there's really nothing you can't actually do.
Without any additional context (which may be critical to understanding fully!) this sounds like an unreasonable expectation on your part. Imagine the sheer number of contributors to a large open source project (that number is nearly 2000 for golang), and then managing the web of contributions and subsequently triaging notifications whenever a change is made. Sounds like a nightmare. Granted I've never contributed to a project of this scale personally, my but experience (as a developer working with other developers for many years) is that the existing processes and tooling are sufficient enough to stay in the loop on things as a contributor.
Big fan of Sequel. Haven’t ever tried out the type checking stuff for Ruby but I might give it a look after reading this.

Ah yes, that makes sense and we should be able to do that based on the API. The migrations are ultimately JSON documents.
I would hard disagree with this. When bash won't cut it Python is the goto.

1. Python is installed by default of pretty much every linux out distro out there.

2. Go is a bit overkill for something that realistically doesn't need any of the speed/performance benefits you would get in Go

3. No need to compile Python

4. Go is way less readable than Python IMO

Go and Rust are fine languages for a lot of things, but sysadmin scripts is not a good use case for either of them.
Outside of mobile computing/internet, I do not use my phone. I am sure with very minor adjustment I can get away with getting rid of a phone number entirely.

Yes - on my desktops and laptops, I use USB. For my phones, I use the same keys with NFC. Basically you start the app, tap the key next to the phone, and then copy/paste the code. It means that my daily two factor needs are handled by the Yubikey I keep on my badge lanyard for both modern and legacy sites.

"No easy way" basically means that you either have to save the seed and repeat the setup process for your backup key or enroll two separate devices if allowed. It feels like the authenticator app could have a useful addition where it'd automate that for you if you have two keys present.

> People do not expect the compiler to be susceptible to malware attacks

I'm not familiar with D, so I'll use the example of Rust. My usual workflow looks something like this

1. Make some changes

2. Either use `cargo test` to run my tests or `cargo run` to run my binary.

In both those cases the code is first compiled and subsequently run. I care if running that command gives me malware. I don't care at what step it happens.
In some cases it would be impossible, since sometimes it can output exactly what was written by a human, or something that sounds 100% like what someone would write.

But if you allow some false negatives, such as trying to detect if a bot is a bot, I think that could work? But I feel like the technology to write fake text is inevitably going to outpace the ability to detect it.
I really do think it's the media you're consuming.

>I don't think schools need to teach employable

My University taught the intro CS class in Scheme; years after I graduated they switched to Java and last I saw it was Python (based on visits back to campus and wandering through the bookstore to see what textbooks were for sale). I just checked and it still Python, based on the course description ("how to design and implement algorithmic solutions in Python"). I see a few 2xx level classes are in Java, and after that it stops mentioning specific languages.

Anyway, it's tough since there is pressure to teach the concepts, which argues for certain languages, yet also produce employable graduates, which argues for certain other languages.

Finding overlap is tricky... teaching theory in Haskell, under-the-hood concepts in assembly, software development gluing libraries together in javascript/c++, may in fact be the superior approach... but there is fatigue associated with learning languages just to learn more languages when maybe a nice general language that serves many educational needs is a better way.

Python might be the sweet spot to start out with, and indeed it looks like the 3 intro classes at my alma mater, are taught in Python. I'd like to think the driving force behind this is that 1) Python works well, and 2)using one language for first year students (well, 2nd semester 1st year or perhaps 1st semester 2nd year) lowers the mental overhead on the students.

Going heavy on C/C++ early essentially selects people that already come in with a programming background. Some folks don't get that, or not much of it, in high school and want to enter the field anyway. And I think it is fair for them to reasonably expect, like you can with every other academic field, that they can do that via the starting curriculum.
None of what you wrote makes any sense to me. Almost without exception, corporations don’t plan 20 years into the future.

I am at a US national lab, and for a lot of our history, we operated that way, too, where much of our money was fundamentally internal. There was a scientific track and management (money-bringing track). No salary or title differences.

But, for the last decade, DOE has been obsessed with productivity metrics such as dollars per paper. These metrics do not make much sense from an NL perspective because the goals of such an institution are different. One reason for this productivity obsession that many old-timers suspect is that many grant and performance reviews are done by established university professors. As you accurately describe, for such a group of rent-seekers, everything is a nail for which they have an h-index hammer.

Both are valid concerns when demand is inelastic. I'd say this is true in regards to essential goods and services (you can't choose not to buy medicine or healthcare). I have yet to see many cases where it's true for labor. It seems in most cases companies can either implement new automation or just choose not to run as much if they have a labor shortage.

The one place I intentionally don't have TOTP is my password manager.

there is a base case somewhere in a backup strategy where TOTP is not feasible. The base case for me is "Keepass file backed up to multiple locations and my master key written down in an envelope in my house in case I hit my head".

Why would I lock my passwords away behind a TOTP that can get lost? My TOTP in Authy is protected by a long random key. Where do I store the key? In my password manager.
