I went looking for Hinsen posts that supported this argument and couldn't really find any. Can you be more specific?

I don't like Python. But it is difficult for me to look past the empirical evidence that it is (a) remarkably easy for new programmers to pick up, and (b) an extraordinarily popoular, load-bearing tool for actual practitioners in the field.

It isn't the last word on software development (I don't use it), but it's the language I'd reach for first if I was teaching someone how to code. I think the class system is archaic and it goes a little out of its way to resist some functional programming idioms, but makes up for that in other ways.
I suppose Betteridge's Law of Headlines provides the answer, but the article doesn't even do a great job of attempting to answer the question.
I will admit that I used it a lot less than I expected ( my buddies play it all the time instead of playing on their dedicated gaming machine ). I am glad I purchased it, because I am planning some fun mini projects for it this year ( and I want to support open hardware like this ). I love what it represents, but it seems to be gathering dust for me atm.

All that said, it is ridiculously impressive.

Back when we weren't doing Agile, I was talking to my users.

I did watch their patterns and habits via the logs, especially when switching systems, because the question "How was this system actually used?" is dreadfully important. But sometimes I would see a student using something I had made and would point blank ask them about their experience. Is this reliable? Is this okay? Any problems?

And, you know, there are times when saying "I wrote this, I will come to your office and see what is going on" is very valuable when surveys aren't. "They" tried to stop me but I ignored them, because playing a game of telephone with errors is complete trash.
You just have to understand the law of numbers. Basic statistics.

Its just like a worm in an apple. By having one apple with a worm, you can't tell all apples are wormed. Because, just of pure experience, there are apples without a worm, too.

So you need more than one apple to be confident about your statement.

And so it goes. The bigger the cohort, the less influence can be seen on the results.

And that's all about. The same applies to the studies that showed ivermectin have a use in an infection with the (COVID) virus.

The cohorts have been between 40 and 200 people in all of round about 30 studies. Compared to the millions and now billions of people doing the jabs.

So. You see at once, if a study can be trusted or not, by looking into the size of cohorts/samples.
The bigger the cohort, the more trustworthy the study.

Have a nice time :)

Yep. Of course there's no detail yet so we don't know what exactly was affected. All we can see is "Multiple services are being impacted globally" and a list of services (Build, Firestore, Container Registry, BigQuery, Bigtable, Networking, Pub/Sub, Storage, Compute Engine, Identity and Access Management) but there's no indication of what specifically was impacted. Could you still see status for your VMs, but not launch new ones? Was it mostly affecting only a couple regions? No idea. All we know is they're now below four nines in February for a handful of critical services.

Let's take a gander at incident history: https://status.cloud.google.com/summary

Cloud Build looks bad... three multi-hour incidents this year, four in fall/winter last year.

Cloud Developer Tools have had four multi-hour incidents this year, many last fall/winter.

Cloud Firestore looks abysmal... Six multi-hour incidents this year, one of them 23 hours.

Cloud App Engine had three multi-hour incidents this year, many in fall/winter last year.

BigQuery had three multi-hour incidents this year, many in fall/winter last year.

Cloud Console had five multi-hour incidents this year, many in fall/winter last year. (And from my personal experience, their console blows pretty much all the time)

Cloud Networking has had nine incidents this year, one of them was eight days long. What the fuck.

Compute Engine has had five multi-hour incidents this year, many last fall/winter.

GKE had 3 incidents this year, multiple the past winter.

Can somebody do a comparison to AWS? This seems shitty but maybe it's par for the course?
The tired old Reagan era trope, that government is inefficient and private free markets would do better, is used to justify cutting government spending (except for the military) over and over. Then when those government agencies do terrible because they are underfunded, those failures are used by Reaganites to say, "See! Government is terrible, this agency is a waste of money, lets cut the budget." and so on until, as Grover Norquist said in 2001, "I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub."

Not the writer, but based on what the author wrote, I think it's based on the author's experience with Java. It can be a hideous nightmare of java.util.Date versus java.sql.Date versus java.time.LocalDate (just to pick one very well known fiasco in the language- Java defenders please don't come after me) and all of them have to exist to avoid breaking things but you have to have different ways to handle each of them, so dealing at the boundaries between business logic and "infrastructure" is always a mess of converting types- oh this library is old enough that it needs a utilDate, so I need to convert it back down, then convert it back up at every boundary.

By contrast, duck-typing means that the intricacies of which exact type you are deserializing into is a lot less important in python.

> This makes union types unsound in the presence of type parameters/generics.

I'm not sure if "unsound" is a good adjective here. There are cases where this is actually desired behaviour and the rules can definitely be "sound".

For example, I might want to know what errors can appear, but not care where they come from. So `ErrorA | ErrorB` is what I want to see, not some nested structured that allows me to differentiate where ErrorA came from in case that there are multiple possible options.
Here in the Netherlands more and more companies (particularly small and young companies) will actually just measure output (vs just say they do as long as you warm your chair 40 hours a week). So they don't think me working less is better, but they also don't care as long as my work is done.

Most practitioners do not have the mastery you're talking about over any language at all. I can't support normative advice to new entrants to the field based on a whim we might have about how current practitioners should behave; I have to look at how they're actually operating.

Substitution was the real issue I had with online grocery delivery when I last used it 15 years ago. Things would get substituted that I didn't really think were equivalent and essential ingredients for some meal would be left off the order.

It was "OK" at the time; I was on crutches and could go to the store but not easily do a full grocery shopping. But I haven't done online grocery since.

- Storage fault tolerance

- Viewstamped Replication consensus protocol

- Flexible Quorums

- Deterministic simulation like FoundationDB

>stores have cctv to make sure people aren't stealing
Lmao, is this really that surprising? Shops have had CCTV for ages now.

Self-checkout has more obvious cctv because you're giving more power to the shopper; self-checkout is just one step away from allowing someone to just walk out with the product a la Amazon Fresh (which has a literal FIELD of cameras).

Businesses have CCTV for the same reason that people have cameras fitted to their houses. 99.99999% of the time things will be fine, but the time something isn't, it's sure nice to have the evidence.

It's not like they have some artificial monopoly though. Developers put their games on Steam (well, some do) because Valve has a huge audience. Valve's audience exists because Steam is a good client and has excellent features, and places the consumer first. Valve has no artificial monopoly, does nothing to keep people on their platform, refuses to even do things like sign exclusivity agreements, and the past decade have seen multiple big publishers (EA, Ubisoft) and developers leave to start their own thing, and then ultimately come back, because they couldn't do as good of a job. It isn't like Apple or Google where you can't be on the platform (phones) without paying a tax. And in the case where Valve actually controls the platform (SteamOS 3), they do nothing to stop other stores from being on it. I can still buy games on GoG, and install and play them on SteamOS. I just choose not to because GoG won't invest in making it as good of an experience.

Valve's 30% is well earned, not forced. There's nothing forcing me to buy the next game I buy from Valve, other than that I want to. And they have made me want to by offering an incredible product.

> So suddenly (assuming you've put some work in) the dating (and sex) life becomes a balanced game.

My personal experience and the experience of men I know is that this is not how it turns out.

If you were never attractive before to women, you don't suddenly become attractive to them when you're older. Just because you hit staff and make $500k/yr doesn't mean they want to be with you. Just because you have built up incredible emotional maturity, stability, and intellect doesn't mean someone wants to be with you. End of the day - whether or not they find you physically attractive is the most important thing above all - it's the bare minimum to start an interaction (especially with online but more and more true with in person these days too).

This idea that average looking guys just needed to hit 30 before they got to date all the hot 20-somethings is so farfetched and delusional. It's often spoken by men who were rich, physically attractive, and had great social networks but had severe social anxiety and learned later in life how to lessen their social anxiety. Once they did that - wow - suddenly they're having sex with lots of women... Surprise, women were always interested in you, you just never took it further because you had social anxiety.

Lots of men don't have social anxiety but are just fuggos. They're not gonna have stuff change when they get older short of doing significant cosmetic surgery. Which, again, is not related to age but more related to getting cosmetic surgery done. You can do that when you're 18 and not wait until you're 30.

Look at the tiktok shit that's going on. Women have increasingly deluded sense of what men and women should look like. Social media and casual access to the top physically attractive men has completely distorted how the sexual marketplace is working. It's leaving a lot of people lonely and a lot of people very bitter.

As someone who programs in the military, this paper rings true in an absurd number of ways. A lot of these problems are unavoidable - you have to have some requirements when it comes to very dangerous systems, for example - but there's a lot of people who pretend what we do is Agile even if it clearly is not.

And I think that at some point, doing some agile is still better than doing nothing. We code to requirements, but still have sprints/sprint plannings, stand up meetings, point system with tickets, etc because it gets things done faster. But that still must be done even though we can't directly interact with the users. It's not agile, but it at least makes an attempt to get work done.
The author wrote cattrs, which is “Complex custom class converters for attrs.” (attrs is a library that preceded dataclasses and is more powerful). Guess he just likes the stuff.
The 'talking points' thing is a non argument. For the record, my sister - the same one from the Lesbian Mother's Group - counsels at-risk adolescents and I live near the Tavistock center which was shut down by the UK government after one of their doctors blew the whistle on 'gender affirming' care.
In this case it’s more about shifting where the static typing occurs, since the author is still arguing for a typed business layer.

Since I/O is usually untyped, you need to cram it into a typed schema somewhere. In strictly typed languages, that must occur upon ingestion. The author is saying you can delay it by having a layer on top of the I/O transform the data in untyped fashion before being typed later on.

> when they look up what he said and see “it’s okay to be white”

But that's not all he said at all...

He said:

"Black America is a hate group"

"the best advice I would give to white people is to get the hell away from Black people. Just get the fuck away. Wherever you have to go, just get away. Because there’s no fixing this. This can’t be fixed."

"So that's what'd I did. I went to a neighborhood with a very low black population."

"I don’t think it makes any sense as a white citizen of America to try to help Black citizens anymore"

...pretending all he said was "It's ok to be white" is completely disingenuous.

It’s the exact opposite if the direction of change fron people’s normal inclinations the typical advice goes for improving results. But most people are selective enough naturally (and rightfully so) that, yes, even aoplying the typical advice to try to filter out as few people as possible either with the profile or with how they react to others profile or contacts, they are still filtering out the vast majority of the space.

> This entitlement of "entertain me peasant" is one of the reasons why I deleted these apps.

Wanting to eliminate as much as possible of the dating space with incompatible goals or personality is not “entitlement”, Your attitude, that you are somehow owed people not respecting themselves enough to do that, is.
Yes. I believe that doesn't affect my argument. Instead of the ~4 programing languages found within C++20 you would be adding one more to the codebase. Does that sound like a good idea?

Maybe my comment was too harsh. It's great someone's trying to make the C++ situation better. I hope they succeed. I just think they won't and C++ should go the way of C and stop "evolving", while this thing is very similar in spirit to blowing it up even further. (I've actually liked working with C++ for the past 15 years, but not because it's productive but for the stockholmy "challenge" of it)
