Dataframe-oriented programming: taking the tools out of data
I haven't read it and I use Vim every day. Like any skill, just learn as you go. A couple of times a week I google for how to do something I figure is possible, then I save the link in a bookmarks folder.

I might read it at this point and learn a lot, but I'm still happy and productive with what I do know.
> Cook literally never led a software or hardware product team until he became CEO, after which he "technically" led every team at Apple.

And why does that matter? Steve Jobs selected him because he felt he would be the best person for the job out of the executive team.

> Jobs was behind Apple II

Woz was behind Apple II. If you read the accounts, Jobs didn’t want more than two expansion slots and fought Woz on that and lost. Woz was ready to walk away with his design.

> Lisa

Commercial failure.

> Macintosh

Commercial failure.

> NeXT

Commercial failure.

> Mac OS X

Jobs was one of several people instrumental in making that happen, but I think you can hardly give him more than 50% credit in that one.

I think you can give Jobs a lot of credit for the vision behind iMac, iPod, and iPhone. But it’s entirely disingenuous to discount the likes of Jony Ive, Scott Forstall, and all the other people who made those products happen.

Jobs vision from the early Apple days was of computers as home appliances. You purchase it, it is complete as is (little to no extensibility), and it’s well-designed (physically) like the products designed by the people Jobs admired (Dieter Rams).

That’s a great vision and what still drives the company today, but he was hardly singularly responsible for the success behind those products.
How can sortition be undemocratic when it was the basis of the Athenian democracy, from which we get the word?
>Yah I don't get why these laptop manufactures keep shipping garbage screens.

Because they're cheaper.

>My laptop has a 16:9 that looks worse, and has lower resolution despite the machine costing 6x as much.

Right, so your laptop mfgr spent less money on the screen, charged more money, and got a higher profit margin -> win! This lets their execs get bigger bonuses so they can buy better yachts. What's not to like here?
The problem with sortition is the problem of people using various means to opt out of jury duty. Jury duty, which typically lasts less than a week, still gets a variety of people opting out. Sortition for decision making would have far more people opting out, or would have to resort to draconian methods to prevent people opting out.

> "I believe a system is more democratic if the decisions are being made by people who are actually, materially, involved in the consequences of said decisions."

I believe a system is typically better if this is the case. Things can be done to bias elected decision makers toward behaving as if they are consequentially subject to the decisions. Term limits is one idea, increasing the number of members of the legislative bodies is another.

I think it’s common to get overwhelmed with all of vims features. For me, focusing on one thing at a time helped. For example, spend a day where instead of repeatedly doing: A,<esc>j to add commas to the end of lines, learn to do it in visual block mode. It’ll be annoying and fiddly the first 5 times. But it quickly becomes muscle memory.

That said, if you’ve been trying vim seriously for ~15 years, maybe it just isn’t your thing.

Wrist oximeters are fairly useless for most people. The Garmin devices can generally only get an accurate measurement if you hold perfectly still and have the band fastened tightly.

The main use cases are for detecting sleep apnea and high altitude hypoxia. If you aren't subject to those issues then you can just disable the pulse oximeter to save battery life.

I've seen the codebases created and maintained by people who "don't need types because it just slows me down."

Hard pass.
To "what exists today, beyond 13.7 billion light years", I'd rather say that "it doesn't exist yet". Because, otherwise, it assumes there's some "global universe time" like UTC or something. But all there is is our light cone.
That one requires a big GPU and isn’t real-time.

Not sure about your story, but there was a pretty bad bug in Mario 64 - their flagship game, that degraded performance. If I remember, the fix was a one-line change.
> ”Go and Rust allow distributing a static binary, but at the cost of fewer people at Shopify being inclined to contribute due to the lack of familiarity with the language.”

If learning a language as simple as Golang is a real barrier for Shopify engineers, then I’d say they need to reevaluate their hiring processes. Especially given that they’re talking about CLI apps as opposed to something like distributed systems.

I’ve hired multiple engineers who had zero experience with Elixir at all and it’s generally just taken a couple of days to get up to speed. I’ve had the same experience on client projects, too. I don’t think Elixir is as difficult to learn as JS or Rust, but Golang might even be simpler given how small the language is.
This is rare (I have never run into it in many years of writing TS code and pulling repos from NPM), and if it does happen you can always ignore the definition and turn it back into a plain JS package.

Well, this law would be pretty bipartisan, I would think. Who likes it when their employer counter-party does these things? No-one. And as long as worker voters outnumber employers, workers can pass laws eliminating these degrees of freedom from an employer's tool-chest.
Let me clarify - I pretty much agree with what the parent says - "it's more like 70% BS vs. 30% value".

I do still want that value i.e. static typing, but as you point out I can't get that without the BS. And so I would rather have no typing which is the only other option (except using a different language).

Buffers and tabs serve different purposes. I think a lot of people dismiss tabs because they don't understand their purpose. It's not just about switching to different buffers quickly.

Tabs are an organized collection of windows, and you can quickly switch between them. I might organize my windows so half the screen is one buffer and on the other half, is split 3 times horizontally. Then I edit some code and realize I need to edit some other part of the codebase. I make a new tab instead of changing buffer, so I can go back to the view I setup already without having to recreate it.

Tabs are the true power of vim, I don't have that functionality in any other editor (apart from Emacs?) and I miss it constantly. Buffers aren't really a novel concept, they work the same in VS code and JetBrains IDEs.

You exhibit the “Vim mode paradox.” If you’re comfortable using the limited “Vim mode” in other editors, you don’t know Vim well enough to justify using it.

If you're going to say or imply that surviving these experiences, or being
tolerated for experiencing them, was only "a small proportion" then you're
making broad assertions.

It's a broad assertion I feel safe making from what I've read, and from what I know of human nature, and the often toxic dynamics of small communities. Being different in a small tribe sucks. Yeah, if you're different in just the right way, you're venerated as a shaman or religious figure. But I feel absolutely safe in asserting that for the average mentally ill person, being mentally ill in a pre-modern society would have been worse, both in quantity and quality of life.

Maybe you wouldn't have been exiled, as such. But you would have been a marginalized outsider in an environment that was far more resource constrained than the environment in which we live today, and which rewarded conformity to a far greater degree.
It is a v0.93 of simulation, which was run a long time ago. Software was patched since and now simulation is much smoother.
Yes, you're spot on. I was using a mildly stiff, mechanical split keyboard while having relatively weak fingers.

Stopped using it and switch to a low profile chiclet keyboard where I was using way less strength, and could type more loosely. It also made it way easier to type on glass, as an unintended side effect.

Switching to a trackpad also helped in interesting ways, as I got rid of many keyboard shortcuts for page navigation, app switching etc. and moved to gestures instead.

To note, I still use vim a lot. Just not as my main editor. Also the changes I made are probably very personal and wouldn't have the same effect on other people with different tendencies.
Many of the most pleasant codebases I have worked with were built before TypeScript existed. Building a good codebase takes a lot of care and thought and can't come just from using TypeScript, in fact the worst cases I can remember happen to be TypeScript.

By no means am I saying TypeScript is the reason these codebases were poor, however it also didn't seem to help them all that much.
> There’s surely a huge argument that all of scientific education is a massive disservice.

I realize this is hyperbole, but still I think it's obvious that there is more than soon to be
forgotten and often useless fallacies.

I do generally agree though that current models/paradigms are usually presented more as "the final word" vs "a useful mental model".

Esp. when paradigms are challenged by, or conflict with untestable traditional explanations, ppl tend to get irritated and overstate the confidence of their own understanding

Am I reading you correctly in saying that C and C++'s tooling is good compared to Rust?

My experience in both (10+ years for C and C++ at this point, 3+ for Rust) is the exact opposite; I can't remember the last time a C or C++ build system, test framework, documentation engine made me one tenth as happy and satisfied as `cargo` does.

This is coming from David Sinclair, who claimed resveratrol was the fountain of youth (it wasn't, but he still managed to sell his resveratrol company for hundreds of millions), and pushed rather hard also on NAD/NMN despite only very preliminary and limited results (he also has interests in NMN companies, and has been involved in removing it from the supplement market in favor of that company's right to market it as a drug). More likely than a cure for aging, Sinclair just found another cure for too few cars in his garage.

The top overclocker right now isn’t even using water cooling, he’s using The Ice Giant coolers which uses a thermosiphon with fans to cool the CPU. They’re chunky and can only work if your motherboard is sideways or flat on the ground (otherwise it messes up the tech), but they’re really excellent, with no risk of water damage like a loop would have.
If everything is tightly coupled (which it sounds like from your other comments), then go ahead with a monorepo. Should be fine.

I think that the idea is "what it feels like in a scale of 0 to 100".

So, in Celsius, water are "very cold" (=freezing) at 0 degrees but "very hot" (=boiling) at 100 degrees.
Same with Fahrenheit: 0 is extremely cold while 100 is very hot.

I get the logic but I am too used to Celsius at this point, just like you.
> Living in NYC I was always puzzled how there could exist such bad pizza there.

Living in Barcelona I think this is pretty clear: Tourists. Though what's pizza in NYC is paella and tapas here of course.

Their reasoning is simple. Most tourists don't ever come back so why bother investing in a quality product when you can just milk them for what they're worth. Even reviews don't help with this very much.

As a local it's easy to avoid these places. Avoiding the ones with pictures of the food and sticky promoters outside trying to get you in the door does most of it. And realizing that most of the best places don't have the shiniest venues precisely because they don't need to. The locals know where to find them anyway.
Oh ya know, I never did consider PyPy. Is it significantly faster than standard CPython? I'm going to look into trying it out. Would be amazing if we could easily get performance improvements with it.

Also, your idea about having a smaller set of quick running tests and then separate smoke tests is actually a great idea. What we've really done in many of the cases where we should have a unit tests, is essentially to write integration tests. Not quite end to end but pretty close and that's where a lot of the slowness comes from.

Appreciate the reply!
Not rare. Happens every 12 months or so in my experience as a library maintainer. It really sucks that Typescript, let alone .d.ts files produced by the compiler, don’t follow anything resembling semver.
Idk if I’m just an idiot but my company’s codebase for the last year has had pretty slow tsc compile times and nobody on my team has been able to make it better. Probably since we have a decent amount of generated code that pushes the amount of source code up considerably, but still no good answers to make that better.

I very much agree with this. It is very tedious to edit code without a "text editor". By the way, Vim and Emacs have all the fancy refactoring / formatting / navigation things that VS Code does; using the exact same implementation. You get a no-compromises best of both worlds, at the cost of a lot of front-loaded learning. (That is to say, I get why Intro to Python books don't suggest learning vim. One problem at a time. But someday, it will really help you with the mechanics of slinging code to have a featureful text editor around.)

I work on a ruby code base that has extremely good test coverage, something around 20,000 unit tests for a relatively simple app, and it’s still almost impossible to update ruby or rails without breaking something. The thing that broke is always impossible to predict from reading the release notes.

The most infuriating thing is it’s almost always something a typed language would have picked up like a functions parameters changed or things removed.

No amount of unit testing or browser automation is a sufficient replacement to type checking.

> A mindset of technology being the means, not the end, is uncomfortable. But it will help you stay focused on what matters most (the product and your customers), avoid wasteful misadventures, and maximize the company’s chance of success.

I'm wary when I hear this sentiment. At the heart of very versatile companies is a definition of what makes them who they are, both in a product sense and a technical sense.

I've worked at very successful companies that wrote their own networking stacks, load balancers, cryptography, service catalogs, paging systems, etc... The stark views of fully embracing a Not Built Here mentality and the "build product and product only" are broken for me. I think executives make bets that authorizing a certain project will add to their direct and marginal gains. Direct gains being cost, performance, ease of use (UX/DX), etc... Marginal gains being the experiences that add up over time building custom things or being able to leverage the fully custom parts of your stack.

If all you care to have expertise in is the product people see you'll miss the products that make that product faster, more secure, and easier to maintain long term.
