The “don’t reinvent the wheel “ argument is overstated. If you’re avoiding frameworks, you tend to build up your own libs that “plug and play”. It’s not like you rewrite a sessions lib every time you build a new backend server. You copy the file over from your last project.
If it’s a more involved problem, like correctly implementing HTTP, you use a battle tested library.

I’ve worked at a startup that went all in on frameworks and the day we crossed the pain threshold with Relay, dev time slowed to a crawl. Really hindered our ability to ship product as you say, and the switching costs were high, because frameworks underpin everything you do, you can’t just swap them out like libraries
I've never had this happen. If I'm listening to podcasts, the stream is purely podcasts. If I listen to music, the stream is purely music. I don't recall anything "popping up". My front page can have mix, but they're all podcasts I listen to, with a couple of recommendations thrown in.

But, I suppose, for those that don't listen to podcasts, being able to turn them off completely would be pretty desirable.

What? I don't see any utility outside of education and even there it's pretty sketchy.

For business, legal compliance is not a joke and instantly shuts it down. The only businesses willing to use ChatGPT for generating code would be naive young startups who don't realize some assembly is still required and the instructions are missing no matter how much they query the bot. That's called expertise (which they don't yet have). It's not good enough to just write the code. Someone has to comprehend it so they can tweak it as needed. At some point the tweaks will become unwieldy and require actual software engineering that the bot doesn't know how to do (transform from one design pattern to another and know which to use). More power to them if they can cobble something together and then succeed at maintaining it. By the time they're through they'll have pulled off so many miracles that they won't need the bot anymore and become experts. That's quite the trial by fire, but hey everyone has to find their way!

I have friends who did that. They built a consulting company where they get to build the culture they want.

Those kinds of companies (the examples I know of are small, < 200 folks) actually have a chance of maintaining a coherent, caring culture. Not to say that folks don't get laid off or tough decisions made, but humanity is still present.

512 interviews with actual people, they said the 5k were based on those interviews (example, some one said it was abused, but also other colleagues). 53% of the cases involved genital manipulation.

Most of them were abused as children, but they are much older now. Average age now is 52 years old, average time of abuses is 12 years old. A small percent of the abuses continues to this day. A small percentage of the abusers remain on the church to this day.

The statute of limitations expires by the age of 23, so only 25 were turned into criminal processes.

In that scenario people will just keep their old cars for far longer than what the planners are imagining. Like Cuba which still operates cars from 60 years ago. The danger is then you have a society dominated by very outdated cars and a greatly reduced industrial base.
This is me. At my last job I was doing 3 jobs at once. 1 was what people THOUGHT my actual job was (gotta support the old system to buy myself enough time to roll out the new system, 1 was an additional job to get promoted/salary brought up to industry standards (risk manager for health tech., it didn't work), and 1 (what I was actually hired for 2+ years ago) was doing a rewrite properly to solve 50% of the engineering problems plaguing the company for near a decade once and for all (got it to 99% completion, but has been stuck in QA and Compliance hell for 8 months now on legacy features that are 1 out of 1 million requests). Oh but I accidentally did job #1 too well so now the rewrite I originally got hired to do is now not a priority on anyone's mind. Oh and I did job #2 so well that now I am getting daily requests from Compliance, and they are acting like my boss, as if the Architect, PM, overstepping and undertrained CS reps. and actual boss wasn't enough.

Ok now I'm just venting at this point but it's therapeutic.

I feel as though I've aged 10 years in the past 2 and I burned out very bad 4 months ago, still haven't recovered. Unemployed now.

The worst part? I'm not sure I'm not going to try it again. Should I accept "mediocraty"? Should I strive to leverage my abilities to the fullest to truly be transformative in technology? Maybe I should just focus on getting "fuck you" money so I can work for free on things that actually have an impact.

SkillzTruth - Proof of concept demonstrating how to cheat on Skillz apps
The simple though somewhat superficial explanation is that the Chinese government is allergic to criticism and that anything that's less than "China is a paradise on Earth" is perceived as "criticism".

No matter what the origins are (lab leak, wet markets, or something else) it's going to be due to something Chinese people did. "Blameless post-mortem" doesn't seem to be a concept the Chinese government is familiar with, and in general doesn't really seem to be an aspect of Chinese culture.

Plus there really is plenty of blame to go around; they absolutely botched the initial response to COVID for seemingly no other reason than to "save face". Doctors who raised the alarm early on were rewarded with reprimands. This is already widely known, but they have no interest to bring more attention to it. It's entirely plausible (albeit far from a certainty, partly because China is so uncooperative) that the entire global pandemic could have been prevented if they just hadn't botched the initial response.

Not when it comes at the cost of readability. I'd argue more bugs (and definitely more severe bugs) are caused by poor readability than by lack of static types.

Last summer, my piece of shit 2014 Kia Soul was stolen by our local "Kia Boyz" franchise. The thieves totaled it. I got a check for more than it was worth at the time.

We were contemplating going down to one car anyway, because of permanent work from home policies.

I couldn't have been happier.

Oh, and fuck you Kia, your car was a piece of shit.
>As far as 'conspiracy theorists' this represents a vast spectrum of individuals, and no doubt that would be foolish to lump into a single one-dimensional stereotype unless your aim is some sort of propaganda or social conditioning.

Exactly; this type of anti-walkable-city thought is totally normal for probably a majority of the US population. NYC is indeed walkable, but it doesn't represent America at all, and half the country sneers at the city and hates it, and anything that resembles it.
By and large the wealthy in this country vote D and donate to left-wing causes and foundations and colleges. The working class (including union members, not necessarily union leaders) vote R.
I always mention the waste because it feels like the right thing to do. I explain that we can reduce costs, but it will require some amount of engineering effort. Many times I get "it's not costing enough to worry about, focus on features." Of course, when the shit hit the fan like in 2020, they wanted all that cost reduced as fast as possible...

If it's something simple like an unused service, I'll just shut it off.
Unfortunately this fact is buried half way into the article.

From personal experience in commuter rail, derailments happen more often than one would like, but most are not severe enough to attract attention.

A single axle off the rail counts as derailment, and may get reported as such for statistical purposes. This can happen frequently on a siding or in a storage yard. Where there's no significant damage, the car body is lifted, the trucks replaced on the track, and once it is all back together, inspected.

The FRA stats linked don't seem to break down derailment causes from what I can see. To be frank, while that number looks significant, when one considers how many miles of track there is in this country and how many miles the rolling stock travels (bad track is just as guilty as bad rolling stock), it could be far worse.

Open source is really interesting in the regard that for many projects it starts being optimized not by top-down design but by evolution. You get many variations on the same idea that live, die, merge into one or mutate step by step into something else. Similar thing with Linux distros.

And it shows the same upsides and downsides as evolution vs e.g. gradient descent - you avoid getting stuck in local optima as people will always try out new stuff just to create something interesting (in business without clear evidence this will bring money it's hard) but finding an optimal solution is slow.

It is much easier to attain certain goals by having a well managed team who report to you directly or indirectly and you can order them basically what to do and create a coherent vision for what they produce.
Either they will adapt to working with a demanding global company or they won’t.

Cuba has old cars because of US sanctions that killed their economy and couldn't import anything

Here it's different, purchasers have still access to cars, so when they need to change, they can change, and what's gonna be available is EVs, by the time they upgrade, infrastructure will be much different than what it is today

Doing it gradually is better, gives time to strengthen the grid network, gives enough time for innovations to come into the market, so people don't produce much tech junk and a recycling industry can emerge

Hard to relate those issues.
Most charging ports are in public areas and in the time it takes for the connection to restore and billing to kick in probably isn't going to be long enough to charge your vehicle up much.

While the Kia issue boils down to the US failing to follow the UK, Canada and other regions in using regulation to make immobilisers mandatory. The subsequent penny pinching that took place producing cars with security features that have been around since the early 90s, as they were treated as a premium feature in the US. That combined with them opting for a cheap ignition column gave them their current predicament as even basic steering lock functionality is dead.
One of the key questions in my due diligence practice is whether people are allowed to 'be negative' and to literally stop the line to avoid shipping a defective product.

This one question tends to separate out a very large fraction of companies that take unacceptable risks and allows the ones that don't to be justifiably proud of their attitude towards risk. These are not trivial things either, medical devices and software used in medical diagnosis, machine control and so on where an error can quite literally cost someone their life or a good chunk of their healthy life-span. Companies where people can not or won't speak up tend to have a lot of stuff that's wrong wiped under the carpet.

Kudos to you for speaking up, and irrespective of who got to be called a hero (that part isn't all that relevant to me) also kudos to your employer for acting on your input.
The sailing clippers were fast and were sailed hard.

The monohull sailing record for 24 hours was set in 1854 by "Champion of the Sea" at 467nm[1]. It wasn't broken by another monohull until 2003 by "Illbruck".

The modern foiling (or at least foil stabalized) IMOCA 60 ft boats are up to 558nm[2] while foiling trimarans are up to 908nm (!)

> Right to repair should still be a thing, but that is a distinct issue

So, we're going to use the power of government to force a markets hand, but we're going to delay the consumer issues that it is going to generate, until when? And our plan is to use something other than government force to repair that issue?

It makes no sense to process these as distinct issues, in particular, because you've failed to articulate how removing right to repair is necessary to achieve "the transition." Why would that be a requirement? We _must_ acquiesce to corporate greed or they won't let us have nice things otherwise?

So.. why use the power of government to force the market, then?

I really like Lua but I've mostly needed it to write less maddening shell scripts, and it sadly falls flat when you need parallelism. And I mean an easy and intuitive one -- I know it has multithreading libraries but they produce overly complicated and verbose code.

Meanwhile you can just use `parallel` in your shell scripts with very little ceremony.

Lua is great in many ways but looking at it in 2023, it's kind of stuck in the past.

Cost of capital. If you have an expensive cargo load on sea for 80 days port to port, it's a lot cheaper to finance than for 120 or 150 days.

I looked around your web site and I thought about trying out your product, but one feeling never stopped nagging me: even though I'm not in a large organization, I need absolute assurance that the AI is trained only on our code and permissively licensed open source software (like MIT or BSD.) Also, whenever it uses permissively licensed code, I need a complete list of everything it based its work upon so I can declare the relevant licenses.

You're making a lot of rational deductions from assumptions of rational behavior without taking into consideration the backpressure (or negative consequences) that rational behavior will cause.
