The Plan

In the beginning, there was a plan,
And then came the assumptions,
And the assumptions were without form,
And the plan without substance,

And the darkness was upon the face of the workers,
And they spoke among themselves saying,
"It is a crock of shit and it stinks."

And the workers went unto their Supervisors and said,
"It is a pile of dung, and we cannot live with the smell."

And the Supervisors went unto their Managers saying,
"It is a container of excrement, and it is very strong,
Such that none may abide by it."

And the Managers went unto their Directors saying,
"It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide by its strength."

And the Directors spoke among themselves saying to one another,
"It contains that which aids plants growth, and it is very strong."

And the Directors went to the Vice Presidents saying unto them,
"It promotes growth, and it is very powerful."

And the Vice Presidents went to the President, saying unto him,
"This new plan will actively promote the growth and vigor
Of the company With very powerful effects."

And the President looked upon the Plan
And saw that it was good,
And the Plan became Policy.

And this, my friend, is how shit happens.

Maybe all posts should be regarded as serious by default unless they have a [joke] or whatever tag.

The fact that the ranges include ages > 105 and that there are many answers to it just makes the post some kind of spam.
Heh, that's going to be great for photosynthesis, methinks.
Long story short: no. Their emails are notoriously aggressive and deceptive, and they keep sending them relentlessly, so people get tired of them.

This is a typical Republican email:

"This is your FINAL NOTICE. So far, you've ignored all our emails asking you to join us in DEFENDING THE ELECTION. You’ve ignored Team Trump, Eric, Lara, Don, the Vice-President AND you’ve even ignored the President of the United States. TENS OF THOUSANDS of Patriots have stepped up for the VERY FIRST TIME in the last 48 hours - why haven’t you?"
> they can be represented by a term and therefore can have a type.

It is informative, I see what you mean.
Let me try again following your terms: An object is a type plus behaviour (mutable state).
the real "killer app" of "workload orchestration" is the active control loops, configured (somewhat naturally) declaratively.

Ansible and other configuration managers and provisioning tools - as far as I know - had no way to do this. (they had policy conformance checks and whatnot, but fundamentally they did not make it easy to get to the desired good state, they ran on-demand and had to rely on ad-hoc information gathering, which made them slooooow and brittle)
I don’t find the “kids in their 20s” stuff very compelling and it kinda unnecessarily weakens the argument.

It’s a pretty stretched argument, fresh grads are likely writing some code on these solutions, but there’s undoubtedly egads of “adults in the room” discussing policy, overseeing employees, in the team management chain.

Additionally if we are gonna commit ageism war, there’s a cottage industry of 50+ers who are consuming this obvious garbage and then participating in a democracy based on it. I submit ridiculousness rages across the entire age spectrum.
Use mutation testing as well, if it's available for your language. This evaluates the quality of your test suite by automatically switching up your app logic and running the same tests.

Nothing like removing one line, breezing through code review, and bringing down production. "But all tests passed!"
I’ve seen people take a dogmatic approach to this in Ruby without really applying any critical thought, because one assertion per test means your test is ‘clean’.

The part that is glossed over is that the test suite takes several hours to run on your machine, so you delegate it to a CI pipeline and then fork out for parallel execution (pun intended) and complex layers of caching so your suite takes 15 minutes rather than 2 and a half hours. It’s monumentally wasteful and the tests aren’t any easier to follow because of it.

The suite doesn’t have to be that slow, but it’s inevitable when every single assertion requires application state to be rebuilt from scratch, even when no state is expected to change between assertions, especially when you’re just doing assertions like ‘assert http status is 201’ and ‘assert response body is someJson’.

Still better than investigating why the whole system failed, though.

I'm the author of Penny, and you are right: there are only two viable Solid apps at the moment, both by the same author [1]: Media Kraken [2] and Umai [3]. They're good, but pretty simple, and primarily interesting if you're really sold on the concept of Solid. And Penny works, but it's really only useful for developing Solid apps.

The BBC app mentioned above doesn't, at this time, really bring any of Solid's purported benefits (see my analysis at [4]). Inrupt's server implementation still occasionally introduces breaking changes that even the mentioned apps are having a hard time keeping up with, let alone the unmaintained ones.

So honestly, I think the best time to take another look at Solid is the moment Inrupt has a paying customer that is providing a Solid server that is usable with more than just their own apps, and an app that is usable with more than just their own server. Until that happens, it's unlikely that there will be anything that really works and that you can count on will continue working.

And to be perfectly clear, the above are my personal opinions only :)

This is only a problem with implementation of linked lists. The article talks about how linked lists are conceptual. They make a nice data structure to work with in code. But several ways could easily be conceived of that optimize them so that elements are adjacent to each other.

Cast iron is pretty awesome, and they're plenty "non stick" if you use plenty of butter. The argument for coated pans kinda goes out the window if you're not trying to cut out fat, other than that cast iron is heavy.

I also love keeping glass jars. I use them to drink out of, containing food, distilling, etc. They're way tougher than actual drinking glasses too. Eventually I might toss some in recycling if I've got too many, but I don't buy all that much canned food in the first place so it kinda works out.

In terms of water, I still need to get an RO filter, but in the meantime I've been using a regular water filter and also distilling my own water. Don't believe the hype around distilled water being bad for you, because it's not. RO water is pretty close to distilled anyway, but nobody handwaves about it eating your bones or other such nonsense.
This was an all-cash buyout. It does not mean it was not leveraged.

All-cash buyouts are those buyouts where the acquirer pays with cash and not their own stock. In this case, Musk used only cash.

But some of that cash (about $12.7 BN) was borrowed from banks. So, it was leveraged.

In principle some buyer like Musk could buy without any help from banks, but why would they do that? You don't get to be a multi-billionaire without getting familiar with financing.

In any case, leveraged or not, Musk did not saddle Twitter with any debt. Maybe he will do it in the future, but for the time being he didn't, because he did not have time to do it.

He could try to issue a huge amount of debt later, and pay himself an extremely fat dividend, so he can turn a quick profit. But in the current market environment, that does not seem even remotely likely. Who is going to buy newly issued Twitter bonds? At what yields? A one year US Treasury yields 4.8%, what type of yield would one require for a bond issued by Twitter? 10%? 15%? If investors get a hint that Musk is just trying to run Twitter into the ground and get himself a nice exit, they won't invest even at 30%. After the whole saga with Musk repeatedly changing his mind on the deal (and before that the $420-for-sure Tesla buyout), how many investors do you think would fall for a get-rich-quick scheme perpetrated by a guy who can't actually climb the richest man ladder anymore?

to write out the internal structure of a LambdaExpression.

If you just want the assignments then it's simpler:

Add to the Evaluate method a test for MemberExpression and then:

The variable name is:

((MemberExpression)expr).Member.Name

The value is:

Expression.Lambda(expr).Compile().DynamicInvoke()
A dollar times a dollar is a dollar squared. You don't need a spec for that!

For example, if you have a random variable that's in dollars, its variance would have units of dollars squared. People consider the variance of dollar estimates all the time.

Same here, 70% cut in costs. If efficiency isn't a goal and there isn't a strong push for controlling costs, they just keep going up.

I don't know if 1B is a reasonable goal, but Twitter's previous leadership was so incompetent that I wouldn't be surprised. Maybe even more is possible.
> ...they were making so much money on minor evolutions of x86 that they saw little need to truly innovate. The MBAs took over.

Yet another example in a long history that modeling your talent pipeline as a JIT supply chain does not work in high cognitive input settings. This is a general unsolved management challenge: capturing sufficiently granular and comprehensive institutional knowledge to be able to efficiently restart organizations that rely upon it years down the line.

I don't think we will ever solve it until we learn how to share human mind states. The complexity of these high cognitive input activities at large scale has surpassed the ability of our capabilities to transfer comprehension between minds using conventional information transfer techniques (primarily written word and audio video). Even were I to guarantee the capture of all information at sufficient granularity, the only way to QA that is to de novo staff up a brand-new parallel organization, and have them reproduce the original organization's accomplishments. No one is ever funded for that.

This is a really interesting problem space for me because I suspect it is a dimension of technical debt very rarely explored because our species has not had to really grapple with it before as our technological progression has been slow enough we could "good enough" brute force our way through it whenever it came up in less severe forms.
To me, type is for data abstraction, like we use generic for function abstraction.

Abstraction in this case, mean, for future changes, i just need to change in one place, the Email type abstraction instead of searching and replacing every ussage of primitive email string.
Why does Solid not let you run the apps on the server with your data?
yes, it’s deliberate. it’s a deliberate way of using taxpayer dollars to enrich private citizens without providing taxpayer benefits.
> Is there option for preapproving/hiding comments from new users in a subreddit?

Yes, I mention this in the talk at 14:50 [1]. A year ago Reddit upgraded its "Crowd Control", which once only collapsed comments from new users. The feature was bad enough in its initial form. Now it can also remove comments. When they announced it, I said it was like automod on steroids [1]. Now I call it Crowd Control with Prejudice [2], and it's only one of many dystopian tools.

Subs can choose to turn it on, and more and more are doing it in order to make their jobs easier. Between mods acting largely based on user reports, and tools like Crowd Control removing all commentary from new users, there is an absolutely massive amount of content authored by real people being secretly removed from Reddit every second, and that's a single platform.

The irony is, the more they secretly remove, the more people stay put and the bigger the groups get. So, there is then more content for moderators to review which means more work for unpaid volunteers. Or maybe it isn't irony because a bigger userbase is better business. I have no problem with platforms making money, but I do take issue with their systems which lie to millions, perhaps even billions users about the visibility of their own authored content.

> can't they just scrape my data and send it to their server if I plug my pod into their system and allow access?

The answer I usually give to this is that Solid's goal is to be the enabling technology that allows good actors to give you control over their data. Of course Facebook can funnel your data elsewhere if it were to be built on Solid, but it's even easier for them to just not build on Solid and just harvest your data that way. Technology is not a solution by itself, but with the technology available, customer demand or legislation potentially has a viable path towards giving you a way to control your data.
I challenge you to find sound scientific evidence that drinking mineral free water is harmful to human health. Not opinions, but actual studies. They don't exist, by the way, but feel free to confirm it yourself.
> when the code it tests is OOP

In my experience when code isn’t OOP, that means all static functions with static (I.e. global) data which isn’t hard to test, it’s actually impossible because you can’t mock out the static data.
Ah I was referring to Fadell but I understand the ambiguity now.
There are usually different ways to design a system. Its often the case that designing the system such that it is easy to test (with little setup/teardown) has other benefits too. E.g. It often indicates low coupling and a more simple design.

That being said, there can of course me other tradeoffs e.g. performance and even cases where simple test setups are downright impossible.
Competitors don't have an issue creating dummy accounts to test who they are up against.
What do you mean by 'the direct implication'?

GP said you can schedule game updates for the 1/3 of each day that you're not metered.

P incorrectly translated that to 'when you buy a game you have to wait a day to play it'.

So, as I already argued, these are not the same thing -- purchase & download of a game (impulse) vs regular patches (easily scheduled out of hours), and for a new game it's entirely up to you if you want to pull that down immediately (a modest percentage of 1TB).
Well, unless we become immortal, waiting long enough means letting someone else deal with problems.

Right now, the obviously (and I do mean that) best way to deal with spent nuclear fuel is (after some cooling) to stick it in dry casks and just let it sit there. It's much cheaper than the alternatives, it's quite safe, and it doesn't preclude any other solution.

But (you might say) we're leaving the cost of dealing with it to our descendants. I respond: we leave the consequences of all our actions to our descendants. For example, if we spend resources of doing something to nuclear waste, we do not do something else with those resources that might have been better for our descendants. Economics is all about tradeoffs; you can't just look at anything in isolation.

Delaying dealing with a problem also means that those who ultimately solve it can choose the solution they prefer, rather than one we impose on them. Maybe they'll want to extract plutonium. Maybe they'll want to bury the fuel unchanged. Maybe they'll want to shoot it into space. They will know better which solution is best for them.

This question is mostly orthogonal to the question of whether more waste should be made (except if you're trying to use the waste issue as a bludgeon to force the other issue.) I get the distinct impression the waste problem is being greatly overstated for rhetorical reasons.

The problem is not a single human-caused methane leak. The problem is that global methane levels are increasing, and they're increasing at an increasing rate. Current theory is that some of this is caused by human emissions, but most is a feedback effect of climate change where wetlands produce more methane. There are also big, terrifying methane feedback loops in the arctic (permafrost and undersea clathrates) that may or may not be in play. Methane is very, very bad news for humans.

He is probably on here under a different name just like many celebrities are in video games using alt names. I suspect he would only use his real name with proof if he felt this was an audience for him. Most of the HN audience will expect references and afaik Elon just posts his opinions and not references, so this is not likely a receptive audience.
Unfortunately, the solution is always:

- restrict the ability of communities and individuals to save and prepare.

- empower political elites to perform dramatic and expensive climate change mitigations, which simultaneously have no reliability based on prior successful predictive models, and enrich their powerful elite allies.

> if your idea of validating an email is more complicated than "should have an @ symbol", I guarantee you, there is counter example that will mess you pretty system up.

unless you are writing an email server. Then you would need to do this properly.

In other words, validate the data that is in the domain of your application. If your app simply _sends_ email, then it's not your domain, and don't need to validate, as long as the receiving end of the email (aka, the email server) accepts it.
I think there will be statistics for the performance of Russian helicopters against western MANPADS from Afghanistan during the 80s. I'm not expecting that the MANPADS will have got worse since then.
It's also playing a role in his shareholders of Tesla view Musk. A recent Opening Arguments podcast explains how they could actually sue him for irresponsible behaviour that goes against his fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders. He basically tanked Tesla shares raising money for the Twitter deal. That's not maximizing the value of the shares, it's the opposite.
You can generally refinance though even with a fixed rate. (There is more overhead though than just going with whatever the current adjustable rate is though.)
