There are certainly other points, but I think a big reason is practice/training.

The process of translating thought into a language (written or spoken - also picking a language, being multilingual), and then into concise language, at least for myself, is a multi step process.

A younger version of myself would be “too lazy” to keep that process hidden in my brain and would verbalize the whole algorithm with all its complexities and dimensions until getting to the point.

It took trial and error and practice for me to realize people just wanted the point and fill in the details afterwards if necessary. Or that the other person wanted to find the reasons themselves as a way of confirming our thoughts are synchronized.

It takes quite a bit of computational brain power to do all that well, whereas it’s easier to ramble and and brain dump.
> Is the general assumption that Musk is ruining or wrecking Twitter accurate?

If it weren't true, why would there be a hundred articles a day about it, and a US President announcing in a press conference that Musk's connections to foreign governments should be investigated?
There is a group of developers where I work who would take a perfectly fine `New(…*Options)` constructor and write a whole suite of “option wrapper” “utilities” around it, rather than expose that function. It makes me tear up a little (not in a good way).
This is the way of the world. At certain point, there are those who are above the law. Even if we argue that international law is basically 'might is right', it is fascinating, because it effectively brings us as back as a species to medieval kingdoms rules with all the issues that those bring.

And yes, I know there are good and valid reason for leaders to be given some level of immunity to allow them to not be, well, targeted and locked up by current regime on trumped charges, but this is not the situation we have in place here ( and those tend to be limited by the time they serve in office - MBS is likely to enjoy this immunity for life ).

I don't know if it is the real threat of impending nuclear war ( and everything that was done so far to prevent it ) that makes me so depressed about the world, but it is harder and harder for me not to feel.. disappointed with the way things are.

edit: FWIW, Biden finally recognized the reality of who is running that particular kingdom. In a way, it is an embarrassing political defeat, which I assume was purchased with something. I suppose we will find out that what that something was in coming months.

how is that relevant?

> the animal was killed, so isn't it more respectful to use as much of it as possible

'respectful' - using that word about an animal you've killed is self-deceit. The animal is dead, and when it was alive it had no concept of 'respect'. Deluded talk.

I also don't get the point of your related aside. My post was about animal suffering, not use of the carcass so it looks like you're changing the subject.

This is just a excuse to be intellectually lazy. You just offload the definition to "you just know" and make it impossible to refute since it targets arbitrary definition.
Communication is extremely complicated. It's also not a solo sport. There are at least two people involved at all times. There are some specific skills that you can practice which I have found have helped me a lot with this problem.

-Empathy/Respect: recognize that people generally are doing the best they can, and try to meet them where they are at/assume good intentions.

-Ask clarifying questions like "What I am hearing you say is x". or "I'm having a tough time understanding how this relates to the problem we are trying to solve, can you break it down for me?" or "Just to confirm my understanding here, it sounds like you are suggesting...."

To the specific points in your post - I find that the difficulty in clear, concise communication rises considerably when it's a live, realtime discussion vs. when it is asynchronous. Compact and precise language takes a lot of time to formulate (I didn't have time to write you a short letter, so I wrote you a long one).

>generally over-complicate matters by wandering off to other related subjects and extending the scope of the discussion

This one is a tough one. Sometimes this happens when the structure of the meeting is wrong, or there's not someone who's empowered to say "let's set that aside and focus on x". Sometimes though, exploring the possibility space verbally, even when it's a dead end is just how some people synthesize the problem and internalize it so they can understand it better. Sometimes it's necessary work that needs done before everyone can effectively 'play' with the problem you are trying to solve.
Hackers tend to not like politics. But we have figured out that those who don't do politics will still have politics done to them. So we have to care about politics at least to some degree. If nothing else, we have to care about it as a sometimes-hostile external force.

Same with the economy, except that most of us do care about money, at least to some degree.

In my opinion it is mostly because people have things that they want to say. They're most often not interested in answering your question but seeking to use it as a jumping off point for what they want to talk about. This is why some people always end up circling back over the same pet subjects no matter how specific a yes/no question you ask them.
Those crypto bots being less pronounced probably has more to do with the entire crypto ecosystem being a bit... dying right now.
I think the headline is a bit misleading. "given" immunity to me implied that there was some deal or something where the US government proactively gave MBS immunity.

What happened was the US State Dept determined he had immunity due to his current role as Saudi Arabia PM. Thus, my understanding is that this would be standard diplomatic immunity, no? And if MBS ever stopped being PM he would lose that immunity, as MBS only became PM after the killing took place (not sure if this part is correct).

Maybe not what you expect for an answer, but I'm self-hosting a telegram bot that does a bit of scrapping of a certain site I'm interested in, and serving those messages to a couple of subscribers (around ~10 people).

I know, it is a very low user count, the interesting bit is, I wrote this bot in Rust using async with Tokio, and it's running on a Raspberry Pi 2011.12 with 256 megs of ram and a single ARMv6 core.

I was able to compile a fully modern language for a 10 years old architecture, and on avg has a load of 0.2 of CPU usage with 10 megs of ram!

It was a very painless process using cross-rs, and I'm still quite surprised how well has worked until this day.
>A vocal community has been calling out the blatant scams and corruption for years. The information was readily available to anyone doing even the most basic due diligence.

Successful scams are like successful cults, nobody has ever joined a harmful cult thinking that they are joining a harmful cult. A good scam will never seem like a scam to the victim. The biggest risk factor in falling for a scam is believing that it can't happen to you.

The blatant scams and corruption are actually an incentive for many people who believed that they would be the beneficiaries of the scam, not the victim.

I've been getting paid for my book generously, but I'm still happy to know that my book can be read at online libraries for free, so the people who can't afford it can benefit from it. My publisher, Manning, also has these HumbleBundle campaigns around Christmas time to sell many books at once that makes a single book cost $1 or so.

If online libraries can be made even more streamlined, the demand for piracy would diminish eventually. The same applies to academic papers.

I am not sure why you are being downvoted. While I disagree with your assessment, you raise valid points.
This is the problem though, people who are "informed" of the culture war (on either side) have been given a list of dog whistles which are "facts" - true data but which can supposedly be bent to service of enemy objectives.

I've seen so many of these in the last few years who people on the talk pages are literally saying "Yes, but we can't let the Rep/Dem party benefit from this!"

An example of this that I saw was the "86-45" kerfuffle. To eighty-six something means dispose of, in some contexts to kill, and when someone was referenced saying this about trump (president 45) the fans of whoever said it went to Wiki and removed years-old references to the term meaning kill. It was obviously a reasonable statement meaning vote-out in context but they weren't happy letting people read the article and form the correct opinion - they wanted to censor all "potentially misleading" facts.
I think adding another animal to the situation would only exacerbate the problem. Let's say we add lions. Then not only goats are eaten, but other animals.

In this case it's quite the opposite, though: the Saudis have power over our government. They control the taps that release oil, the release of oil controls gas prices, gas prices have a documented effect on election results.

If the party in power wants to win the midterms they need the Saudis to supply enough oil. It's wild how openly corrupt the whole thing is.

It's the worst kind of political delerium - funding you enemies and your ally's enemies and then wondering why your allies aren't "reliable" - hint its you not being reliable while you're funding their enemies and trying to excuse their nuclear weapon program. Its the US that was a fickle ally.
Something I've increasingly wondered is if the model of CI where a totally pristine container (or VM) gets spun on each change for each test set imposes an floor on how fast CI can run.

Each job will always have to run a clone, always pay the cost of either bootstrapping a toolchain or download a giant container with the toolchain, and always have to download a big remote cache.

If I had infinity time, I'd build a CI system that found a runner that maintained some state (gasp!) about the build and went to a test runner that had most of its local build cache downloaded, source code cloned, and toolchain bootstrapped.

back in the day those "social norms" mostly existed for straight white people and they masked absurd amounts of abuse
Some years ago I decided to take communications seriously and read a bunch of books on it. It was a major shift in how I view it.

Good communications isn't merely about speaking well[1], but about handling how others speak. If you are frustrated with people never giving simple answers to simple questions (as I often am), it is you who needs to adapt and change strategies. The expectation that a question that should have a simple "Yes/no" response will be answered as such is not a deficiency in the other party.

So to communicate well means to learn skills/strategies to handle a variety of communication styles.

One other thing to keep in mind: People are like objects in code that have a hidden state (their experience and views in the world). When you say something to them - no matter how plain, that hidden state is going to morph their understanding and how they interpret what you say. The solution is to learn how to get them to reflect back to you what they think you are saying (without annoying them).

Now in a given work place, it's not reasonable to expect all employees to understand how effective communications works, and it does make sense for the workplace to have guidelines on it - and those that think differently have to adapt. I'm certainly not arguing for "Let people speak how they speak and the onus is completely on you to adapt" (in the workplace).

Just so we're clear, 45 billion of those "55 billion animals" are shellfish. Another 5 or so are fish.

> Nobody's saying Rust has no issues and never will

Ok, so we agree that Rust must have some issues, some of them undiscovered yet. What suggests that Rust won't introduce issues that will be larger than the 70% of issues that it solves with C? Because to me, it just sounds like we can't know so we're being hopeful that we don't run into that situation.

Pretty strange that this is how the international law works in 2022. We have ways to go, I suppose.

FWIW. This also looks like a pretty convenient loophole for the Biden administration to 'normalize' the relationships with the KSA and MBS, in particular. They'll keep calling him names like murderer and say that our hands are tied because of the international law.

Personal answers from a spacey SWE:

> don't have some level of clarity in their train of thought and speech

When I am working on a software project, especially a big one, a lot of my brain power is dedicated to holding a mental model of how it works, how the pieces fit together, and what the variables are. Even while I'm not working, a large block of my mental capacity is occupied. In the most extreme cases, I've had trouble coherently communicating/finishing sentences.

> generally over-complicate matters by wandering off to other related subjects and extending the scope of the discussion

Sometimes when I start answering a question, my brain will follow a series of thoughts and free associations. Part way into an answer I'll have forgotten what the question was. This probably ties into the above, but it's also just how my mind works. This might be a common trait amongst developers?
