Well it really comes down to what you are trying to represent - moving the minute hand works well if you are only concerned with subdivisions of the hour, but if you are trying to keep track of minutes, you want to know how many minutes have passed between one point and another, so for example if I am waiting for something to cook for 45 minutes, I want to wait for the minute hand to make 3/4 of a full rotation. If the minute hand jumps a significant amount, then that no longer holds true. By moving the marks instead of the hand, you keep track of the passing of minutes naturally.

I don't personally agree that it would be a usability problem - people already use wrist watches which aren't perpetually oriented up, they naturally find the zero point and understand the position of the hands relative to it. The only difference is that the zero point for the minutes will not generally be the same as the zero point for the hours. I certainly don't buy the "it's not the UI we're used to so it is a worse UI" argument. Mechanically, incrementing the marks is much simpler - I'm not even sure how you would get jumping the minute hand forward to work normally nonetheless how you would handle things like adjustments; but for moving the marks it's just another gear, which most clocks would have anyways for incrementing days. I don't think reading the time for the brief moment when the marks are in motion (and thus you know it's precisely martian-midnight) is really any issue; the only edge case I can imagine is a back to the future type situation where you are trying to determine a specific time by looking at a stopped clock (or more likely a still photo of a clock) and can't see that it is in motion, but the confusion would go away immediately when you see the hour hand pointed at the zero position.
No, eventually they would figure out how to rewrite it if they can't get it working again. But I could definitely see a multi-week outage.

In this case, it was images generated via Midjourney and not the output of an LLM, but my layman's understanding of the result here would be equally applicable to LLM output. Effectively, the copyright office does not consider putting in a prompt enough for there to be "human authorship" of the work. In this specific case, that resulted on the images in the comic being considered uncopyrightable. The broader comic, in the organization of the images, the plot and dialogue, etc., still enjoys copyright protection. But in the US, I could just directly take the images in the comic that Midjourney produced and use them for another purpose without violating copyright.

I dont remember Twitter being down so often before the takeover. I actually distinctly using Twitter to check if OTHER websites or services were down
We always build systems hoping they never need any maintenance.

The truth is, they often do. Especially when there are changes happening. I once took a week off and we went down on day 2. Other times, I'm convinced I could've gone 6 months without anything breaking.

At Twitter's scale, I'm sure there are systems where everything is automated and self-healing. But there are probably other systems that are more fragile. And then there's the eternal race against scale; eventually a system with no maintenance will get buried under the weight of its own data or the scope of its usage. That always requires some work.
That's what it sounds like, but it's not ChatGPT thinks it is, though.

Author here - Yes it works. I have two programmatic sites so far, one of which I built in public on my blog. I also consulted on programmatic SEO for a bit. Just like human written content, Google won't index your pages if they are low quality or straight up spam. You have to actually provide value to the user. A common example I use for when programmatic SEO is appropriate is nutritional information.

Here's a twitter thread with legitimate websites getting millions of traffic each month from programmatic SEO:

Author here. Thanks for the feedback! I think that different people can be good or bad in different roles, organizations and times in their lives. Sorry if that didn't come through.

This is a blog devoted to new devs, and one thing I've seen new devs focus on (myself included) is technology as a solution to all the problems. I was hoping to illustrate through this post that the technology matters less than people (their problems, their strengths).
This article is somewhat pointless. It cites two studies, one which found correlations between ultra-processed food and cognitive decline, and one which found that it does not. It concludes that more research is needed.
After the end of a decade-long relationship and at the same time, a decade of working at my company, and with full-blown depression, and pissed at the same time for a paycut I was forced to take (not based on performance, but due to "COVID cuts") after watching at least a hundred people get laid off in the past 3 years, mostly blamed on COVID, my performance is under review, despite the fact that I pulled in over a half a million dollars last year for the company, more than any other of my coworkers, so it definitely sucks.

I've watched everyone else slacking yet I'm the one under review. It makes no sense to me. But it's not the first time and not the first supervisor to do it. I just happen to be the one who has to deal with it all. I had to sign something at work from HR stating I would improve. It's definitely one-sided when they take your supervisor's word over the ability to work efficiently enough to pull in the most amount of jobs and do the most amount of work. I'm still confused by it, but the one thing I'm still glad about is the remote work.

When my supervisor recommended I return to an office, I refused and let her know that would cost double salary + half to deal with other people, their germs, and risking getting COVID. But I'm positive that this too, shall pass. Like I said, not the first time I've been under review. I am just "that guy" that brings out that "power struggle" in every supervisor, and they always feel the need to exert that dominance over me. That's happened for every job I've ever had.

Keep a few side projects handy. Keep doing your best. I recommend joining a gym especially one with a pool and a sauna and a jacuzzi just to get yourself out of the house and doing something other than staying at home. It helps to feel that you are "doing something" and might even improve your chances of meeting people, socializing, or at least being around other human beings.

> Capitol Hill, Seattle

My cousin owns a mansion in Capitol Hill. Because she was a broke-ass student at UW and couldn't afford rent. Back in the 1980s, buying a house there was seen as a crazy, insanely risky thing to do and likely to end up in death.

The modern equivalent is the area around 105th and Euclid in Cleveland, near Case Western and the Cleveland Clinic. 150 years ago, that was the wealthiest neighborhood in the entire United States, now you are though to be insane to want to buy a house there. But if you did, would you end up with Capitol-Hill like appreciation in 40 years???

I'd agree, it's a structural problem. The mortgage interest deduction is my favorite example. It is a hugely regressive tax break which has been targeted across the political spectrum. Seriously, when was the last time you can remember the Cato Institute agreeing with Barack Obama on tax policy?

But I can't see how it ever goes away: it would definitely increase taxes on voters, so what politician signs up for it? It'll probably turn into a culture war third rail like SALT deductions first.

Idk man, I blame a lot of the human condition on the fact that we evolved and we do have those things, theoretically we could create intelligences that are better "people" than we are by a long shot.

Sure, current AI might just be fancy predictive text but at some point in the future we will create an AI that is conscious/self-aware in some way. Who knows how far off we are (probably very far off) but it's time that we stop treating human beings as some magical unreproducible thing; our brains and the spark inside them are things that are still bound by the laws of physics, I would say it's 100% possible for us to create something artificial that's equivalent or even better.

Presumably those people weren't "hardcore" enough for Elon Twitter.
There were many different hypotheses on the outcome of Elon firing 80%+ of Twitter employees:

1. The site would crash and burn the next day.

2. Nothing would change. All those engineers were anyways just sitting around.

3. There would be no immediate impact (servers can run by themselves after all), but the site would slowly degrade over time as institutional knowledge around maintenance, upkeep and all the various system quirks was gone.

We are now seeing #3 play out in front of us.

Solid is basically using the same Flux architecture that Redux and Vuex is using then, with stores and actions. It's just more hidden away than in Redux which is more explicit. Yes, I do want to explicitly see what my data store looks like and in Redux I'm able to. That I have to create slices (which are automatically mapped to TypeScript by the way) is fine with me, it's only a few lines more than in your Solid example.

To add, this is also why I explicitly mentioned Rx and Mob, which are not as clean as the Flux architecture in terms of creating spaghetti code. And I believe we are also defining spaghetti differently. Spaghetti != boilerplate.
> inflation infuriates people

I'll certainly grant this, not the least because they get terrible information about it from media and online sources.

> almost everyone jut wakes up some day and discover they are much poorer than they used to be

Like this. This is not true. This is a lie. You need to stop saying this.
People are "much poorer" post-inflation only in the sense that they were "much richer" post-pandemic, due to the huge savings boom. If you aren't willing to look at the latter, then you're not doing the analysis correctly.

At most, "some" people are "much poorer" due to asymmetric effects. But you're just wrong here if you try to extend that to "almost everyone". Please stop.

Well, they point out that "ultra processed" is a euphemism for hyperpalatable foods that are low in nutrients and high in calories.

I don't think we need to parcel out the exact moment in processing where something becomes "ultra processed" since it's just a euphemism. It's like overly scrutinizing an analogy for contradiction instead of considering the point it's trying to make.

An obvious mechanism would be nutrient displacement as people fill up on calories without nutrients.

If you look at the nutrients that are good for our brain like foods that promote BDNF, those are the foods these people aren't eating. Look up any of the mechanisms where diet can improve cognitive function, cardiovascular health, brain health, and then consider that someone who displaces these foods with hyperpalatable trash will not get these benefits.

Wasn't that a part of the problem with the real estate meltdown back in 2008? We had people getting into loans with either zero down or far less than 20% paying only the interest and not the principal for the first 5 years. They were told that real estate value only ever increases and they'll be able to refinance the loan and put the new equity into a standard loan. That worked fine until it didn't and the whole thing came crashing down. I thought I saw that 10% down mortgages are more common now, except you will have to pay for PMI until you have enough equity to cover a certain amount of the loan.
That's a much better reason, or, at least, something to respond to. Thank you.

Accountability on the part of the prospective owner can be achieved in multiple ways, but using down payments probably minimizes the amount of bureaucracy and following-up in how authorities manage this kind of thing.

Of course, implementing it this way creates "structural inequity", i.e., a process that inherently separates one group into two groups along lines that members of that group have little to no control over. Obviously the property not-having-money is correlated with other factors such as skin color and whether your parents went to college, which creates divisions along lines that are not just economic but socio-economic, and influence the development of not just that person but also everyone who depends on that person, including future generations.

I would be very interested to hear more from systems theorists on other kinds of methods that don't reproduce these kinds of correlated outcomes.

House prices depend on supply and demand. Housing investors increase the supply of housing and are not the problem but part of the solution. The problem is land-use restrictions, such as limitations on multi-story buildings.
> ...their house is the single biggest investment

Is it really anyone's fault but their own? I don't recall housing being offered as a low/no-risk investment with guaranteed profits. Financial blogs, podcasts, and Reddit commenters might have shared that view.

Are there any examples of mortgage issuers or home builders advertising housing as an investment?

In AirBnB, if the person making the booking isn't staying there, it pattern matches as a red flag with credit card fraud, people throwing parties, people spoofing AirBnB accounts because they're blacklisted, etc.

When residential zoned buildings are used for commercial purposes, a fundamental shift in the communities purpose occurs. The situation we have now is people leveraging overvalued assets to acquire more speculative risk with nonexistent equity.

Tip about the "200 month rule": if a rented property valuation is more than 200 months revenue (empty occupancy adjusts to $0 unlike the "creative accounting"), than you can be 100% certain a market correction is coming soon.

I would recommend reviewing post-hype markets in Japan if you want to understand where this cycle ends in more detail. No, your shed in a gloomy remote town is not worth what you paid for it friend. As interest rates must increase to dampen inflation, the overexposed gamblers will lose their assets in the next 3 years.

Try to find a ETF that isn't a dumping ground for a firms real-estate mistakes... Hint, it is mission difficult indeed, as cultural bias drives most of these markets.

Couldn't agree more.

I think it's the reason why the "Joel on Software" blog is still relevant even 20 years later, because it's a tech blog that is at his heart about business, and it's crossover with software engineering.

Like, in this discussion about TDD[1], you can feel business consideration being the source of pragmatism in Joel Spolsky & Jeff Atwood thinking, and as a result avoid dogmatism based on purism.

I've also had the luck of working with a CEO who had business sense, salesmanship, industry knowledge (for Luxury & Fashion), and understanding of the technical limitations and possibilities.

This resulted in smarter technical choices for our product, because it gave a laser focus on what are the important things in our product, and even more importantly what are the features that looked sensible from an engineering point of view, but really had no added value in a business sense, and thus not worth the effort.

You don't need 20% down. This is a lie that keeps getting perpetuated.

I put 3.5% down on my first house and even with PMI the mortgage payment is less than rent.

To add insult to injury, the massive housing inflation of the past 2 years got the LTV well above 20% which then allowed me to remove PMI lowering my payments even further.
Lobster was considered a low class food because it goes bad extremely fast once dead, i.e. within 24 hours even if properly refrigerated, and so it'd only be fed to people like prisoners who had no other choice.

The popularity of lobster went up first when canning technology allowed boats to cook and package them up immediately after they were caught but they were still a cheap source of protein. It didn't become the delicacy it is today until after the great depression when the economics allowed fishermen to specialize in lobster fishing and keep them alive until they reached the customer.

That set of circumstances is difficult to repeat for other species
