The biggest trick the rich pulled on the wider public is getting them financially invested in the same things they are. In a democracy, what better way is there to guarantee that your losses will be socialized than giving the masses a financial interest in your losses being socialized?
I think it depends on what you're doing. I'd argue statically typed Python (ie. with type hints) is also good for an early-prototype language and has the benefit of being able to swap out parts at a time via C FFI with Rust or something like PyO3. Pypy with asyncio (so FastAPI?) is what I'd choose for a web framework these days, personally.
Good thing the only country that exists is the Netherlands and nobody ever ventures outside of it.

I do hope there is an eventual push for an EU-wide NFC system for public transport, that would be pretty dope.
Thanks for the pointers! Hope I can get a spot down there in a few years too.
It's not enough for that, but that bar is too high. Unless the logs are very small, you should not be keeping years of them. I still say 20MB is enough for a desktop.
I believe the point being made is that converting office buildings into affordable housing is more difficult and expensive than building that housing from scratch. If we want to help people escape rent feudalism first, we might consider what the most effective way to go about it could be instead.

Which, perhaps coincidentally, gets at what's been a major question in American cities for quite a while now: what are we going to do about how hard it's become to build affordable housing to help people escape rent feudalism?

We're talking about California in this particular case. That's a place where one of the organizing principles of politics for generations has been preventing new housing. If you want to enable people to escape from being serfs on rent farms, you'll need to grapple with that.
Depnds on country. In Czech Republic public transport is common and take you in almost every village. It is actually more comfortable to go hiking by public transport, because you can plan route from place A to place B. You do not have to go from A to B and back to A bcause of car.

No one is talking about rights. Autistic people have the same rights as gay people and black people.

I assume you mean the East India Company? And from what I understand it was somewhat different than directly controlled by the state. Getting the "Queen's permission" was more of a business license, and they actively formed a lobby within in the government to lobby for a monopoly which was roughly 100 years after they were formed as a private venture.
Rust is a high development cost compared to node.js python or julia, but I'd say it is about the same as go or c#. Maybe a little better than all of those if you consider time getting test coverage. But if you are prototyping you probably aren't doing that. I'd say rust is a much lower development cost than c++ or java.

"Satellite" images on maps are often not from satellites but rather planes or drones.

I guess with this technique you could do ML image synthesis guided by SAR satellites - that way you could sort-of look through clouds from space, as long as you don't mind the image being largely fictional.
> By the end of next year, most of those leases will be done, and nearly everyone is downsizing.

This is incorrect. Standard leases are for 5 years so 20% would come due in any given year, but for larger spaces that entailed significant investment by landlord or tenant tend to be for 10 years and some as long as 20.

Much has been said about the need for dog-eat-dog law of the jungle in the business world to ensure darwinian evolution of the economy to deliver maximum results for the society and to secure an everlasting prosperity.

I have no problem with that. The benefits of capitalism seem well articulated and history supports many of the assertions.

On the other hand, I think the fragile, precious, and short-lived people of said society need to exist in a different environment insulated from the brutal realities of daily survival that exists in a world of business by robust social safety nets and welfare, allowing them achieve their potential without being ridden by anxieties of merciless pressures of daily survival.

But one may also observe that the current state of things in US at least - is sometimes the mirror image of the desired state - the largest businesses have often secured themselves robust socially-funded safety nets, while people are more and more stripped of any social protections, see the erosion of welfare programs of the past, while being criticized for not robustly enough fighting for survival according to the laws of the jungle.
Very different. You want the state to treat everyone as equals? Here you go, this is what you get.

One of the things I’ve vowed to do for my next interview cycle is set myself up an empty project with test, and it is appalling how many interviewers assume that implementation without any tests is something a senior developer won’t simply laugh at the suggestion and leave the room.

It takes too long to do these basic steps and then copy them to new projects. And generators
only work once, if then, which means they are most useful in languages that have stopped iterating, which is not that compelling.

I’m hoping the next version control system solves the rerere problem and we can build our projects by forking a template project, then pull commits from upstream as necessary.

Sure, now ask them "should elective abortion be legal?" And then you'll immediately see the conflict between the two positions. The fact that they may both support contraception is whataboutism. The core objectives of the two groups are indeed directly contradictory.
Cars are mostly less fun to drive around in, now. They used to be bigger, with nice wide & deep seats, and they had way better visibility. Plus more were convertibles.

Now they're smaller, with thick heavy safety beams providing much worse visibility, and there aren't many convertibles around.

There are exceptions, but they're mostly fun for the driver, not passengers. And they're usually expensive.

Plus, at-home entertainment is far more engaging than it used to be.

83 must be the magic year…

Had one back into me at a traffic light, with me honking, and then put it into drive and take off when the light changed. Had to have the cops drag him out of a medical building to get a report and his story went from “no accident” (at the scene) to me rear ending him (on the witness stand contesting his ticket), luckily I was hauling around a passenger who confirmed my side of the story.

Still don’t have a clue why he thought it was a good idea to put it into reverse and barely creep backward at a red light with cars all around him.

>One of the most insidious ideas of our time

Completely agree. I took a lot of business class in university about 20 years ago. undergrad in econ, accounting, M.S. in finance, cpa etc.

I'm kind of sickened now when I look back at that way things were taught in the sense that.. a companies sole purpose to maximize profits is like this "thing" that is under the table inherently factual. Sure it's said out loud, but never in any context of really "why" and just what profound effects it has on everyone when you make that vital assumption.

Everything was presented in such an academic way that.. it makes sense in that context but there is so much more to the world. Economics everyone is taught of a supply & demand curve like it's some law of nature. It's literally based on greed! (which, ok yes you can easily say IS our nature.. but should it be?). If I'm able only able to produce 100 loafs of bread a day and there is demand for 200 a day.. economics say I should keep raising my prices until there is demand for exactly 100. That's called price gouging and ALWAYS hurts the people who can't afford it. See: any concert/sporting event these days. They push every single penny they can out of people and price the shit out of people who actually need a break the most.

Anyway I'm just ranting here. But my point is the pure academics and the needs of the society are at great odds. I'm guessing things are a little better now, maybe? Kids probably question some of these "givens", at least enough to get others wondering. I mean shit not to mention kids these days must be feeling it ever WAY more with the simple costs of school, healthcare, rent, food etc.

"Assume all things can throw" is what I've seen people do in Java code that adds a million try catch wrappers around everything just in case something may go wrong at some point.

The end result is either completely unreadable or impossible to figure out. "How do I return fallback data for FooBarService.wiggle()" often ends up in digging through (incomplete, outdated) documentation or with code that breaks unexpectedly, sometimes even in production.

Note that Rust has the same issue, any method can panic and allocation may just fail at some point. There are very few ways good ways to handle those problems correctly, which is why this "everything may kill your program" approach is often criticised.
but not in earthquake zones of course.
Dealing with TLS certificates and DNS is a little bit of an annoyance, but that's not inherent to Istio. It's just our architecture dictates that traffic comes in through either an Azure App Gateway or another channel using IBM API Connect. In the former case, you wind up needing two sets of certificates and DNS names, and in the latter case getting all the certificates set up correctly for mTLS between Istio and APIC is a little bit of a pain. Nothing too crazy, but it enough of an annoyance to note.

Dealing with version upgrades is also something that causes some pain. Istio has a moderately fast release cadence and tracking that and matching Istio versions to the underlying version of K8S on AKS makes for a bit of tedium.

That said, we've been using Istio on AKS for about three years now and for the most part it "just works". Istio itself mostly just hums silently along doing what it does. The pain has usually been more to do with a combination of 3rd party software (like our system for generating and managing the aforementioned TLS certs), corporate policy, and things that are just artifacts of running on Azure and specifics of our architecture.
Nothing would please me more than those gamblers-anonymous pension funds going straight to zero. I would actually pay higher taxes just to watch that shithouse burn. Bailouts need to end.

The developer experience just sucks compared with regular project with build, hot reload, etc…

We have also tried this approach and I still think that it might be the future. But apart from using it on tiny projects and experiments, the DX is just subpar compared to any modern vite based “build-full” stack.
Whenever I am on a project, I try to write any tooling (code generators, utils, scripts, etc) in the tech that it uses. This forces you to broaden your horizons in the tooling. I even have a toolbox git repo that has a bunch of different tools written around this concept that I have often reused.

I would also recommend trying to 'think' in the language. Don't just try to push a solution into the language. Dig deep and see if there is something specific that makes the most sense to use.

Overall, I wouldn't try to push away your style entirely. I don't think you truly can. I would say the best bet is try to be a great engineer, with strong baseline principles which you then apply in the best way for each environment. Every decision is a tradeoff and many of the big schisms in tech come down to taste. Actively work to learn new ways of doing things. Work to understand other's code longer than you think you should.
Ah they must not have met your average chess club player then! :P
I’ll remind everyone of the Princeton study that proved our democracy is a sham. Policy outcomes are almost exclusively the product of the preferences of economic elites, not of the People. If you do get a legislative outcome you wanted it’s a coincidence that some big power’s agenda accidentally aligned with your own.
Yes exactly. "Equity" is one of those things that may sound good to zeroth order, but in reality always means everyone gets pulled down to the lowest tier, and the only way to get ahead is be the equivalent of an inner party member who gets a separate set of rules.

People look at capitalism and meritocracy and say people aren't equal under them, and it's true, but it's still the least bad system. It's easy to compare the problems of the current system to hypothetical ideals when advocating other approaches. The reality is, none of these equity ideas actually work in practice and they make everything way less equal and fair.

> Bailout? Why? Because it's not just these "rich" landlords/investors that lose their money. They are pension funds, retirement funds, Teachers retirement funds, public service funds, your neighbors' annuity, etc.

True freedom is city bikes. Go anywhere worry-free, empty handed, come back using a simple card. 35€ per year in Lyon, France. Unplanned arrival at 1am in the wrong train station? A bike is still waiting for you.

Drawbacks: It’s only free for 30 minutes per trip; Sometimes you still get the bike stolen for 150€.
That's exactly true. It worries me a lot that ESRI (who really should know better) is using the term "resolution" for this. This sort of superresolution is just interpolation. By definition, you're not adding more information density. It cannot increase resolution. It can increase edge response, but that's critically not resolution.

There are superresolution methods that _can_ increase resolution, but they're in the form of combining multiple captures closely spaced with each other that are slightly offset. "Drizzle" was the original method in astrophysics, and while that method is long gone, it is common to do in remote sensing imagery for many instrument types. Similarly pansharpening (which interpolates multispectral information using a higher resolution black and white image captured at the same time) can actually improve resolution and is commonly used.

This is not improving resolution in any way. Two objects that blur together into one will still appear as one object.
Not sure why they wouldn't include that link in the announcement/on github.

That's really cool. However, that's not what ESRI is doing. You can see evidence of the mistakes it will make in their own blog post.
It's probable that people are unable to comprehend why someone would willingly undergo the same experiences we have all undergone for the past three years. I used to be firmly in the "I will do everything possible to avoid getting COVID-19" camp. However, I eventually contracted it and endured a challenging two-week sickness. After recovering, I decided that I am no longer willing to halt my life out of fear of catching it again because it is not worthwhile. Unless you have a compromised immune system or significant underlying health conditions, you will probably come to the same conclusion at some point. And then you will be looking at yourself from the past and wondering "what the hell was I thinking". As I do now.

Maybe scripting language was overused down the road? i.e. to use it for everything, and use them like a compiled language(ruby in rails, php framework, django,etc) that made things slow?

point here is that to restrict script languages to glue logic for the most part, and always remember to use ffi for heavy lifting, not sure how to balance both yet.
It's not outdated. It's simply that the word recall in the context of cars has a specific legal meaning which isn't entirely the same as the conversational english usage of the same word.

A defect that is subject to a recall, for example, is tracked as part of the car history. When considering buying a used car, you can see whether that repair has been made yet or not. The means of how that repair is delivered is inconsequential.
That's just want they want you to believe.

I self-published a book about becoming a solo 1099 federal sub-contractor.

It's about 60,000 words, full of typos, has a boring cover, and is on an ugly looking shopify site. Oh, and it costs $100.

BUT, I knew if I waited to catch all the typos, add in additional material that would be useful but not necessary, and build a beautiful website, it would never launch.

So I published it and just mentioned on the website that you shouldn't buy it for all the reasons I listed above and described exactly what was in it.

I've only sold about 50, but the feedback is good and already people are implementing the strategies and techniques in the book with successful results.

If you have something of value to offer, it's also easy to forget that someone else is potentially NOT getting that value now if you decide to perfect it and keep procrastinating on launching it.

The "About the book" page is below in case you want to see how I described the book and all its flaws:
