Even if you limit yourself to considering only currently living humans, calculating the cost of preventing deaths is almost universally avoided by government policy makers of any sort.

Even worse is considering the cost per healthy life year. It's very rare to find any policy maker even willing to discuss this. One that have seen is Britain's NHS, who will spend £20,000 - £30,000 to give cancer patients 1 extra "Quality adjusted life year"[1]. But this is only used to compare drug prices and never mentioned even in the context of other UK government health interventions, which might have a much higher cost (e.g. COVID measures which might have cost 100x more per Qaly) or much lower (e.g. teen mental health might cost 100x less per Qaly). And that's just discussing health care inside a single country. The cost per Qaly of foreign aid to areas experiencing famine might be 10,000x lower than other policies.

In this example, I would start with the FP solution because that's how I happen to think. Probably familiarity bias, but I find the cognitive load much lower.

And it's true. Recoded music ravaged the ranks of movie organists and other accompanists to the point that providing incidental music has not been an occupation in many decades. In more recent decades, being a session musician for regional or mid-tier bands has stopped providing a living, following the huge consolidation in radio and music publishing in the 90s and 00s. There is far less live music today, at least in the US, than there has ever been in my lifetime.

Resisting change is generally smart (to avoid exploitation) - there have always been charlatans and innate stubbornness seems to me to be valuable to resist them. Particularly when the cost of evaluating a claim is high, just dumbly resisting change can be beneficial. But change can also be good, obviously.

So I'm trying to figure out what you meant! Are you pointing to 'strengthen' as the main value? i.e. to preserve your existence in the world as one of the primary values? That makes sense to me and would certainly often be selected for.

There's a difference between "I'm ok with this" (which is what the comment further upthread said) and "lol, what an idiot". The first indicates approval of the crime, the second does not. Plus, it was purely based on his personal views, and not his op-sec (or lack thereof).

Besides, it's not like he strewn all his money on the lawn; stealing the wallet + GPG key still took some significant effort. More like leaving a lot of money in the house with a shabby door and lock: not a smart idea, but you'd still have to break through the front door – crappy as it may be – to get at it. It wasn't a "crime of opportunity".

I always hear this, but these days entire Linux distros build with -fasynchronous-unwind-tables which has much more overhead than C++ exceptions, since now you have to provide an unwind path for every single instruction boundary. Even Chrome does it (for "accurate stack traces") when otherwise they're on the no exceptions camp. Using this option also completely subsumes the otherwise negligible cost of C++ exceptions, which only affects non-inlined function calls (which already limit code motion anyway).

If you have a full time job with good work/life balance, chances are that a third of your awake time is spent working, it is probably more than half for many people.

That's so much of you life that you may as well try to make it fun. How you make it fun depends from person to person, but socializing with coworkers is definitely on the list for many people (especially extroverts). Introverts may have other ideas, like learning new exciting stuff, but IMHO, if all you think of work is "get it done quickly so I can do something else", I think you are missing something. It doesn't mean you should live for work, but if it takes, say, 20% of your "good time off" to improve 80% of your time at work, I think it is definitely worth it.

> Electric resistive heating is much more expensive than gas heating.

That seems like a complex question to answer.

Electric heating is more efficient than gas heating (100% Vs. 95%), but electricity costs more than natural gas, taking out any benefit. But that isn't even what makes this complicated, if they're running their natural gas whole-home system to heat a single room, how does THAT compare to a more costly room heater?

Heat pumps are definitely more efficient (e.g. 300%) but cost $1K for a single mini-split, and installation costs/permitting is expensive. $5K isn't unrealistic for just one installed, maybe $2K~ DIY (assuming you can even pull the permit yourself for both electric and HVAC).
kataos is a greenfield project. Carbon isn't being created for greenfield applications, it's being created to deal with maintenance of large existing c++ projects. The carbon repo publicly mentions that you are better off using rust otherwise.

Using rust in android is indeed interesting, but it's largely not hindered by legacy interop with c++ there either. Rust has struggled to overcome the challenges with c++ interop in chrome. I fear other c++ codebases face this same struggle.
This all sounds good, but to me it highlights the downside of not enforcing laws. If you force people to hire private security, it's going to be hard to ensure that they are all nice and reasonable. Also, it's just a bad way to live with all of these private security forces everywhere.

Is there anything currently in place that prevents the 5% off situation? Seems like nobody is able to solve that one. Or wants to tackle it.

Airbnb is incentivized to have higher scores because lower ratings might not push people to other properties - it might discourage them from booking all together. They need them to not be totally worthless, but score inflation is definitively in their best interest.

> visual and non-visual parts are separated globally, not on a view-by-view basis

Yes, yes, and YES!

This is something that confused me greatly over the last years: teams/companies I was in contact with were really struggling getting MVC to work (never mind MV*) and I wasn't...but I wasn't doing anything special, at least not that I could tell.

I would implement my model, TDD-style, put minimal views on top, possible add a view-model here and there if there was some display-specific logic that was complex enough to warrant more extensive testing, voilà.

It was only recently, partly when working with some teams that were doing modularity for modularity's sake (and MVVM for MVVM's sake), and partly when writing down Blackbird[1] that I really noticed the per-view thing.

Don't do that.

>"headless browser" variant of your app

Exactly. Do this.

The app is an object. It has an API. It knows how to coordinate its pieces. The local I/O, the remote I/O, any timing stuff. All of it. Then you plonk the UI on top of that. You can have sub-parts, but you need one piece that ties it all together, on the model side.

> Same trick is impossible or very difficult to do with MVVM.

Well, it's impossible with the misapplication of MVVM that is common today. A view model is a perfectly fine addition if you have some complex but fairly presentation-specific logic. And you put that in a testable model that is fairly tied to one view.

Instead, people have used MVVM to double down on their view-centric misunderstanding of MVC, with anemic models that know just enough to service a specific view.

Meaning any kind of cross-app logic can't go in the model. Meaning it is going to go into the view parts (or rather: the misnamed and misapplied controllers). Which is exactly where it has absolutely no business whatsoever being.

Sigh.

These are so egregious and can be 50% of a night cost.

I’ve had so many bad experiences with Airbnb. It’s never like in the pictures. It’s always noisier, low quality mattress and furniture that looks good on pictures but isn’t functional or breaks if you touch it. I also feel like I’m living in ikea showrooms around the world. And given how expensive the cleaning is, it’s rarely passably clean. Moldy corners in the bathroom, dirt under the bed, chipped dishes…

And good luck trying to get Airbnb to help you. Best they can usually do (after you explain your case over from scratch because it’s always a new customer service person) is “alright we’ll check you out, you get a refund, and good luck finding a place for tonight out of pocket”

Never again. It’s hotels for me every time as well.

Sooo...

Counterpoint.

I worked tightly with the "Head Data Science" person quite a bit. Without fail, they eould end up seeing anomalous as all get out results on a regular basis. On further examination, it turned out that the devs were using an ORM that "protected everyone from SQL".

Yet every last time there was a gnarly issue to debug, the answer inevitably was "turn on logging of the emitted SQL". I could plop the emitted query in front of them and it would take no longer than 2 minutes for her or I to go "Ah ha!", then off they'd go down the road to fixing their stuff.

The relational model is incredibly powerful, and while I fully acknowledge that "code in the DB" as PL/SQL (stored procedures) is fraught, whereas the tooling that allows one to combine things like Python with the relational model has created an uptick in version control of data scripts alongside code; I cannot take seriously the assertion that SQL/the relational model is something to be abandoned.

At some point, you're still dealing with relational algebra. You aren't getting away from that. Even PySpark under the hood is still utilizing SQL. So what would you propose replacing it with?

I'll fully admit the lack of enough imagination to imagine what it would look like.

You still have to define a datastore endpoint/protocol to communicate with it.

You still have to describe the data being sought. You still have to support navigating the semantic space of your schema.

SQL allows one to use any of a myriad of reliable relational databases, coded by people who live, s*it, and breathe performant and reliable data storage, whilst defining a common query mechanism that allows the much less passionate about the arcane vagaries of databases to build up large, arbitrarily complex, yet appropriate to the task at hand data stores.

SQL is to reliable data storage systems, what Excel is to the financial/business world. It is the rock underlying pretty much everything we do. It is foundational.

Abandoning it though seems most unwise.

Especially since besides Excel, SQL actually has more infiltration into the general population than basically any other programming language ever concieved by man.
