I understand the UNIX file model. My mistake was that I thought that the data producer was writing to a different file (think something like log-rotation).

I think it's debatable if it's reasonable to continue allowing writing to an unlinked file.

But the sad truth is that obesity is a disaster area full of people promoting quack cures, nutritional pseudoscience sponsored by food companies, and people who are far more interested in shaming others than actually helping them.
In my experience, most of their customers just tend to be people who are very non-frugal.

I can afford it, sure, but am I going to pay a 50% premium for it? No

Really..
Is that what you are doing, seems more like you just want to be violent toward others and have built yourself a causi belli to engage that way.

> wanting to reduce suffering

Bullshit, you don't give 2 shits about that, you want to increase suffering in actual sentient beings.

Which a cow is not. Hence you are in a cult because what else would you call that position??

You are not a moral agent and you don't get to define what others can and can't do when it comes to food production.

Organics is a fantastic way to go, it just shows how full of shit you are to go against that.

Liar.
youve got it all wrong now. Ever since I read an article about farmhands and astute svelt businessmen who stand at 18th century lecterns conducting traditional old fashioned business I learned our modern diet is causing everything from climate change to the inevitable heat death of the universe itself. Cornkids and Soyboys beware, for what I propose is a radical change in everything youve ever known about putting a thing into your mouth.

For the past 1500 years ive made it a point to eat nothing but the rancid dew-pocked suet in unattended suburban bird feeders for breakfast. My lunch is a simple trip back to those very same bird feeders, and --you guessed it buddy-- dinner is a quick helping of that sweet greasy nectar of the caged brick full of seeds and lawn detritus. Most people say they cannot believe their eyes when they see what i look like, or how I managed to stay so physically fit, or where all their suet keeps going to.

I hope to start a blog soon where i will expound upon the brilliance of giving up old fashioned coffee as well in favour of a modern advancement in nutrition i call, contact cement and model epoxy.
I read a lot of these comments and people are thinking about traditional card games and electronic games of the past that are kinda sorta similar (but not really). They're missing the ONE HUGE ADVANTAGE of epaper displays: They don't need power.

It seems the big assumption everyone's making in the comments is that the displays will just stay there on the electronics box. The reality is that you can refresh the display and then take it back into your hand. You could even trade it with other players while disconnected.

Furthermore, these displays can be refreshed hundreds of thousands of times (some can do millions) and therefore can last a lot longer than regular cards. They're also stupidly cheap in bulk! Example of a cheap NFC-powered one: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256803070283516.html (not the best example since it's kinda thick but you can get much thinner ones around the same price).

You just need to come up with some example games that take advantage of the trading dynamic. Also, if you're up to the engineering it would be neat if you could use one epaper "card" to modify another one. Much like how in many card games you can add an "enchantment" or "modifier" style card on top of another to give it additional capabilities.

I also recommend adding a cover or shutter to the cards so that they can be refreshed without the other players seeing what it is. Once the card is back in your hand you can move the cover out of the way and see what you got. Alternatively, you could make it so that the cards refresh their displays upside down. That way you can refresh it without anyone seeing what's there.
On the carnivore diet people are free to eat as much beef as they want for any reason other than hunger as well.
Yeah, I tried the curbside grocery thing a couple of times. It's somehow worse than just doing the shopping myself. Now, it could very much be the area I'm in, but I arrived at the prescribed time and still had to wait almost as much time as it would have taken me to do my shopping. And then I got incorrect items or "substituted" items when I said I didn't want the substitution.

I'm pretty wary of third-party delivery services. They give both the establishment and the delivery service outs on mistakes. They can point the finger at each other and not change anything. Places with delivery take on the reputational responsibility of delivering items correct in a timely manner.
This is very interesting, thanks for the detailed list. I will check out the podcast.

That said... this is one of those cases where I have to defer to the experts here. Basically every expert I've heard on this topic has said that being obese is unhealthy. And while you (summarizing the podcast) raise a lot of interesting points, I don't think I'm in a position to disagree with the scientific consensus here. And it's not like the people studying this stuff haven't thought about a lot of these objections themselves.

Also, anecdotally, it seems fairly common sense that people who are obese are
less healthy in many ways. I know that's just an impression, but c'mon, it's a pretty strong one, to me at least. I've seen so many people go from finding it hard to walk much without breathing hard when overweight, to being fine after. Just as an example of someone famous with many health problems that got much better- Penn Jillette.

I did the same two years ago and it's been transformative. There are people who will tell you that medication isn't a complete solution, or that it's not the best one. They're not wrong, but telling someone who is drowning that they just need to learn how to swim isn't doing them any favors. I was 40 when I was diagnosed, and understanding the implications of that diagnosis has made my life much better. My first couple weeks of medication made me far more aware of the people around me, which was totally unexpected. I wrote down that it was like putting on snow shoes, or adding a block warmer to your car. Obviously those metaphors won't mean much to people who didn't grow up in a cold climate, but the crux is that easy things are much harder than they are for other people. The weird part is that because you're so used to easy things being hard, hard things aren't that much harder, and when you're warmed up you perform as well or better than your peers. But soon everything cools off, and making a sandwich is a grueling decision again.

One thing that eventually pushed me towards trying medication is that I realized I had already been self medicating with coffee. Sometimes when people say "they aren't a person until they've had coffee", that might be true. The problem is that coffee lasts an hour or so and makes you jittery and hungry, while Adder-all lasts 4 ~ 8 hours and mildly suppresses your appetite(s). They're not wrong: sleep, exercise, diet, being social, etc also improve your emotional state, but when making a sandwich seems impossible, the first step might be to stop drowning.
Well for starters that is an economic impossibility.

>> In 2020, with social media, the cost of spreading the outrage is nearly zero: a retweet or a repost, maybe with some a few words of an inflammatory comment added on the top. But with social graphs being what they are (highly connected via a number of popular "influencer" accounts), any bit of outrage has a good chance to spread quickly and widely.

> This is a very astute observation. It’s also only really possible with centralized social media, not decentralized/federated.

I'm not so sure. Can you explain why you think that? The GP describe a social problem, while the difference between "centralized" and "federated" is a technical implementation difference. If you can "retweet" a post from a federated instance, then I don't see any barriers to this kind of emergent social behavior.

Federation is a solution to a set of very specific problems, it's not a panacea.

Definitely. Dyalog APL has support for source files, too, but I didn't want to overcomplicate things. The way that it saves environments (i.e. to a binary file or to a source file) is tangential to the point: that it has the ability to save the environment at all. REPLs go best with languages that can save their live environments, so that you don't have to worry about getting your work back out of the REPL environment. If your language can't save its environment, you need some other way to improve the REPL-to-source workflow.
> Experienced devs, what language would you learn today?

The language that was required by the company I'm joining.

Experienced devs assumptions:

- Basic familiarity and can read the popular languages already (Java, TypeScript / JS, Python, Go, Rust, ...)

- If not the above, correct it. Spend a weekend getting up to speed on Rust syntax. When you're going through open source code and see something you don't understand, look it up.

So what's missing? Idioms, best practices, avoiding foot guns -- actually writing production code. This is on the job training since doubtful you'll get any of it with a hobby project by yourself without helpful code reviews.

A couple jobs ago we had to take our entire SaaS offering (security product) and reproduce it in the EU for GDPR. This exercise evolved into my Systems team being asked to create private deployments for a handful of Fortune 500 / Fortune 10 sales opportunities. The private deployment enabled Sales to land these Enterprise deals that were very risk adverse to having their data in a multi-tenant SaaS product. We ended up with around 10 of these private deployments and some very large big name customers.

We did it entirely with Ansible on AWS or GCP on accounts owned by us. This was before Terraform was 1.0 and Ansible enabled us to quickly reproduce our deployments. It wasn't sexy or pretty. It worked well enough to get the job done. The best aspect of using this model is it gives your engineering team total control over the private SaaS deployment and unlimited access. Where as On-Prem or Customer Cloud deployments are an entire other bag of cats. It is great middle ground for Enterprise customers that won't do multi-tenant SaaS.

I am only sharing this anecdote because I have seen this single-tenant SaaS model work in the past and I think more engineering teams should strive be able to reproduce their whole environments for private deployments.
> So do better cars, in principle

The "in principle" part is what concerns me. Cars that are cheaper and more reliable are definitely good, but if that's taking resources away from public transit (or worse by using the Boring company to delay and sabotage public transit options) then it seems like definitely a net negative for most people, sold under the guise of helping them with technology

It's not that dieting doesn't work. It's that telling people to diet, as a medical intervention, doesn't work. The science of dieting is refined. The science of getting people to diet however has not been very fruitful. It's probably one of the least successful interventions in all of modern medicine, so we obviously need to do better.
You are right that just copy-and-pasting that pace and expectations onto other development teams is (a) commonplace and (b) not a great recipe for success. I don't think SOTNM valorizes that behavior itself, but it's definitely possible to read it the wrong way and think the grind and the deathmarch are necessary or useful parts of normal development activity. Your caution is valid.
> Buddhism principles do not lock you in their system if all you want is to understand how happiness works and why you are not happy.

There is no moat. How many people are "loyal" to uber/dd/etc? Most people just order from whoever is cheapest.

Therefore, it is a race to the bottom and you have to spend tons of money on marketing/promotions to gain customers. The app with the deepest investor pockets will win out.

If there was only one app for delivery and they didn't have to spend any money on marketing/promotions then I bet they could offer a profitable service for a reasonable price.
One of my favorite games on the Commodore 64 was Raid on Bungeling Bay, in which you fly a helicopter around a 360-scrolling island map, knocking out enemy war factories. The map was surprisingly detailed and interactive for an early action game, with supply ships moving around helping to build defenses; you could destroy the six factories in any order, but each time you zapped one, the rest would tech up and get tougher. Very open for the time.

Anyway, the dev found that he enjoyed designing the map and its interactions more than he did actually playing the game, so he decided that his next game would be all about building a map. He called it SimCity.
I think if you just put more focus on what people get out of it, it will work. Engineers just don't like BS, so if you beat too much around the bush they just won't try it because you're selling too hard.

The JVM can be instructed to emit diagnostics regarding JIT compilation. Dunno if similar things are possible with JavaScript engines. Apart from that, profiling. Coding style is being discussed to death in other comment threads here. In short, "boring code" (few closures and functional idioms, no reflection, careful use of dictionaries, no ultra-flexible function parameter lists, avoid regex unless absolutely required) avoids surprising (read: hard to optimize) behavior.

But maybe all of this is besides the point. It's unrealistic to do heavy duty processing in a dynamic language and expect that the JIT always saves us. In comparison, Python programmers suffer no illusions that their code is usually just "fast enough", and call out to external libraries when heavy duty processing is required. Modern browsers provide some of these optimized capabilities for JavaScript, and they should be used whenever possible.
So, they are unlikely to grow the market (it is more likely to shrink as people cut back on this relatively expensive way to get food), they are unlikely to grow market share (they are already one of the biggest players in the restaurant delivery market), and they are currently unprofitable, and always have been. I don't see what is going to keep them from just burning through the cash they have, then eventually shutting down. What am I missing?

A common refrain you will hear is "Americans don't want to do those jobs", but what that misses is if you gave a immigrant the same rights and opportunities as a citizen they won't want to do that job either (at the price and on the terms offered).

I’m saying that young people can navigate the environment they were raised in effectively.

You mention “understand[ing] the world better” yet I made no comment about young people being wise and understanding the world.

My only claim is that young people are capable of navigating between public and private personas such that they can satisfy their intellectual curiosity. We are not, as the author claimed, intellectually stifled by fear of asking the wrong question.

Feel free to state why you think this is not true, rather than just offering a mocking tone.

Just because some engineer said he thinks giving everyone private offices is the answer doesn't make it the right answer. You know, the whole "If I asked the customer what he wanted he would have said a faster horse' thing.

But it's very clear that the current situation is not working and needs to change.

I told my CEO that our open office setup sucked and if they invested in making it a nicer space more people would come back. He ignored me and talked about converting the space that our sublessee vacated into more conference rooms. That made me angry, but then I found out that he isn't renewing our office lease and has hired some workplace consultants to figure out the best path forward. They're going to get a new, smaller space and figure out how to best handle a workforce that is never required in the office. Only the people that want to come in will come in.

The only problem I foresee is that if they make our new space too nice, more people are going to start coming in than they planned for. LOL.
