The NYC subways were built and operated by private companies in the late 19th and early 20th century (you can still see where the different companies had service because they built infrastructure that is stupid unless you are trying to compete with someone else). The city did regulate prices to too low to pay for ongoing maintenance, but otherwise did not control the subways. Of course that lack of maintenance did mean they eventually had a system they couldn't run at and they sold out cheap, but that was the mid 20th century.

> While "having lots of children leads to physically demanding work" is super unlikely

I don't think I'd toss that theory out entirely. Having lots of children is usually tightly correlated with having children early, and this absolutely makes gaining post-secondary education far more difficult. Which then correlates pretty nicely with being stuck with physically demanding jobs.

Generally I google my name for those directory data broker type websites every so often and see if any of the listings match up with my name/addresses I've been at (I have a fairly unique ethnic last name).

Use a temporary email, something like https://10minutemail.com/)

"I focus on doing the least amount of work I can get away with" is one reasonable strategy. If you've got continued employment it's probably working for your employer and may be working for you too (and this can make a lot of sense given that a certain amount of tolerance / "slack" in a system can make it more robust).

It also seems to me that while increased productivity decreases the time you spend on a task, it doesn't necessarily require you to notify people immediately when you're done or dictate what you do with the time saved. It might be more slack. It might be something else you can do to make your job easier. It might examining the art of productive politics and bullshitting. It might be learning something work relevant you find more fun...

That said, far be it from me to alter any balance you're already content with. If productivity is for anything at all, it should include satisfaction.
Sometimes being able to make something suck just a bit less can be powerful, and in ways you may never see.
I wonder if such strong IR light is capable of harming the eye, even if we're unable to see it.

High power LEDs in the visible spectrum are terribly bright, and when I accidentally get them shined into the eye, it really feels concerning if any harm has been done.

The idea that agricultural land is somehow reducing the supply of housing runs counter to common sense. By the time you reach any significant agricultural land near Toronto, for example, you're already so far away from the city that you're looking at a 1 hr commute during rush hour. If you work remotely, you can already live in Woodstock or London, Ontario and housing affordability is not as much of a problem for you either. The reason the agricultural land is not converted into housing is because there's little demand for it - not because it's essential to food production.
Did it exist before 2004? I bet you know!
People don't object to UBI because they don't like the idea of people getting money for no work.

They dislike UBI because either

a) It's financially impossible. Assuming the basic income is "enough to live a basic life", say £1500/month in the UK, that is totally impossible.

b) They don't like the idea of people getting free money and not having to work when they do work. I mean you see that already with benefits/welfare, but UBI makes it more extreme.

Although obviously with UBI the people paying lots of taxes have the option of stopping work and moving somewhere cheap. Which is what a huge number of people would do, and the whole system would collapse.

But yeah, nobody is against a magical utopia where nobody has to work. They just know it can't exist.
> But establishing a system to handle regional planning would require crossing state boundaries in six of those cases.

6 of 11 is more than half of your examples. That alone seems to suggest there would be efficiencies in federally-supervised planning simply to cross-cut inter-state concerns. (Such as with roads, the use of "inter-state" there is not an accident.)

Scrolling further through the list of CSAs the ones between a million people and seven million that are multi-state seem too often to be the least well served by public transportation access today compared to their peers, and that doesn't seem to be a coincidence.
Interesting, are "trusted-length" iterators something that might ever make it into userspace? Maybe as const generics?
Also, if transport is really the big concern, shouldn't we work on optimizing that? Multiple solutions, from automation, to electric vehicles in many ways or even trains. It is not like the cargo is that time sensitive and distances that big.
For the short term. Longer term they will make improving things and following whatever the next fad is - just like everyone else.

As far as I can tell, the points you made are:

A) It's strange people make moral choices to stay out of advertising.

B) Advertisement could be more targeted.

B is boring and I don't care.

A isn't really a point with merits to be debated.

I enjoy eating meat. But I don't call it "strange" everytime someone turns out to be vegetarian. I understand why they refrain from eating meat. It's not like I disavow the existence of the question of "should we eat meat?". I just disagree.

You need to set up management at a level where there is sufficient demand for it. Right now most projects are managed at the local level where yeah a rail extension is probably a once in a generation project, but at the state, regional, or federal level there's generally always something that needs doing.

> Also, what do you mean by "storage fault"? Is this simulating/injecting silent data corruption or simulating/injecting an error code when writing the data to disk?

Exactly! We focus more on bitrot/misdirection in our simulation testing. We use Antithesis' simulation testing for the latter. We've also tried to design I/O syscall errors away where possible. For example, using O_DSYNC instead of fsync(), so that we can tie errors to I/Os.

> Ahah, so no deserialization doesn't mean no validation. Gotcha!

Well said—they're orthogonal.

> Not sure what you mean by variable length. Are you speaking of JSON-style "I have no idea how much data I'll need to read before I can start parsing it"

Yes, and also where this is internal to the data structure being read, e.g. both variable-length message bodies and variable-length fields.

There's also perhaps an interesting example of how variable-length message bodies can go wrong actually, that we give in the design decisions for our wire protocol, and why we have two checksums, one over the header, and another over the body (instead of one checksum over both!): https://github.com/tigerbeetledb/tigerbeetle/blob/main/docs/...
I mean, I understand the sentiment. At the same time, most of the consumers of said plastics are living longer than previous generations. I don't think it's as bad as you make it out.

Granted, at some point the human race will need to act more holistically about their resource usage, but I think that will take a very long time and probably not until it has become a much more painful problem.
Planting native plants is very rewarding, and you don't need a lot of space to do it, either.

The only space for greenery in our condo, located in a major urban center, is a small strip of mud at the side of the building. A few years ago I seeded it with native plants, and they grew spectacularly. Spring through fall we have colorful native flowers that attract a huge amount of bees of various species, butterflies, and other pollinators - in the middle of a giant city!

It's a great feeling to step outside and see flowers and greenery that belong, covered in busy life that was never there before! You don't need a lot of space, and you can do it in a city too.
Thanks for calling that out. Our installer (and the upstream installer) don't support SELinux yet, but there is work in that direction.

The rise of phone gaming was probably the reason why 3DS and Vita sold so much worse than DS and PSP. There is no big market for small handheld consoles anymore. The Switch sold well, but probably just because it is a bigger system which is more similar to a stationary console than to a phone. Which makes it unlikely that a company would release both a mobile and a stationary system again.
I attribute some of the greatest successes of my career in part to having good unit test coverage. I have seen no other pragmatic way to solve the problem that, in the worst case, a minor software update can be O(N) expensive to make, where N is the size or complexity of your program. That little update has the habit of breaking things in code paths you'd never expect. With a good suite of unit tests, you can validate that your program likely still functions, and, far more importantly, you can do the validation quickly, which results fast feedback loops and iteration times.

Fast feedback loops are essential to high developer productivity. When developers are being slow, in my experience it usually is related to the system they are working on having slow feedback cycles.

> The basic "problem" I have with tests is that - at least maybe in my experience - things tend to go wrong in cases that you haven't thought about so your tests don't cover them anyway.

You are right in that unit testing can't make up for bad engineering. One advantage of investing time in it, though, is it gives you potentially more opportunity to think through those cases. And, as a consolation, prize, you write unit tests for bugs that make it through and now you have a great regression suite.

Furthermore, a major issue that often comes when unit tests are omitted or not taken seriously, is that these tests can't easily be added after the fact, A system has to be designed with unit testing in mind, or else you end up with a bunch of untestable code. I believe that many legacy codebases remain without tests because the act of refactoring them enough to support any testing at all would be both time-consuming and high risk in terms of potential breakage.
There's a financial independence forecast that is separate from the budgeting app. The site is more focused on the forecast tool.

All of these things are partially true, but not fully.

Your yard is only rarely representative of the "natural" ecosystem that would otherwise exist. Generalist species may find your yard similar enough to thrive, but specialists (carnivorous plants are a popular example) likely will not even if they're native to the immediate area.

Non-natives can actually be even more efficient than natives at many things, including carbon capture. Prickly pear is a highly invasive example that outcompetes native crops with higher efficiency photosynthesis, huge adaptability to arid environments, and massive carbon capture potential due to its rapid growth rate.

Speaking of prickly pear, it's a native family in much of the western US, but it remains invasive in yards throughout that range because the ecological succession that would naturally control its reproduction takes decades and isn't allowed to occur. Don't plant it.

Your yard is a cultivated environment. Be cognizant of what you're planting and how it interacts. Natives are often a good choice, but there are perfectly valid reasons to plant non-natives or avoid certain natives.

Tbh, there are limits to how much any language that does "wysiwyg" compilation that would have for loops. For example, any "for" loop can be a "while" loop in asm, the one optimization is you can use the index registers as long as the number of arrays is less than the number of index registers you have. If it is more, which the language does not constrain of course, you just go back to a loop with memory locations for pointers. But of course, in that case then, you must have a "smart compiler" that can decide that which case it is and thus compile to the right code.

That said, this likely will be an esoteric case on most modern machines (like x86_64 has 16 regs that can be used for indexes) and I doubt people want to use this for like avr.
There is a lot of truth to DRY but it has been distorted by becoming completely obsessed with it as if it was some end to reach, rather than any other property with its own tradeoffs.

And its not just developers, but even some companies are also obsessed with removing "waste" by sacrificing everything just to minimize any kind of seemingly duplicated effort without ever considering if it's actually cheaper to do so..

When DRY is shown as high ideal somewhere, how often do they also mention the tradeoffs like tight coupling and premature abstraction?

The thing that set the whole JK rowling controversy off was the idea that using the phrase "people who menstruate" was an acceptable way to refer to women.

If you are commenting in a thread about the Rowling controversy, it is dishonest to say that you do not participate in the part of the internet in which the word woman is considered a slur, when used to refer exclusively to those who have predominantly female anatomy. The people who get pregnant and menstruate, are exclusively in this category. And arguing that this is not what woman means "anymore" is equivalent to asserting that it is hateful to use it.

The ongoing linguistic castration is an assertion that the biological reality of sex is a immoral thing to take part in, because it is traumatic to those who do not wish to. However, note that among the consequences of the biological reality of sex is the notion of sexual attraction. Is it hate speech to assert that you are attracted only to women? What if you are a woman?

You might suspect that somebody does X for Y reason or is not sincere, but it should clearly be stated that mind-reading never has been and never will be a thing.

Only time this actually works and makes money is for high end restaurants in massive metroplexes. They are willing to pay high dollar for extremely fresh lettuce. At one point the containers company was turning a decent profit in NYC. I’m assuming it didn’t scale like they were hoping.

Careful, you accidentally started talking about Turing, rather than the Turing Test. Turing and the Turing Test are two different things. For example, Turing talked about the Imitation Game, not the Turing Test.

Critically (pun intended!) Turing explains why the argument for the impossibility of thinking machine from hard coding is fallacious under the heading of the Lovelace Objection in his paper on the Imitation Game. He not only did think of the obvious thing you mentioned, but thought much deeper than you implied that he thought. He successfully noticed that the existence of programs which think by rules of the sort that are sub-critical does not imply the lack of existence of super-critical rules which are capable of learning. He is quite famous here for successfully anticipating the field of machine learning, which at the time, did not exist.
