First, the City of London hardly has any residents; almost all traffic demand comes from outside. I imagine the few residents it has welcomes these measures, since they suffer the bad effects of commuter traffic, while generating little of it themselves.

Second, how else are cities meant to do this? The fundamental problem is that there is a huge and rising level of driving demand[1], and limited supply. There is a scarcity of road space in London and you can't really add more. Basic economics tells you that you can manage that scarcity through some combination of prices, queues, and lotteries. Throughout most of the 20th century, we defaulted to queues, in the form of traffic jams. You can use the road at zero cost, but you'll have to wait a long time. But that became increasingly untenable as car ownership rose -- the number of cars in Britain has doubled over the last few decades. And traffic jams are themselves unpleasant: they're noisy, ugly, emit pollution, etc. So now cities are using prices too, in the form of congestion charges, taxes, and so on. That's not some punitive "stick" done for its own sake, it's just a tool used to cope with an inescapable economic reality. When you have more cars and the same amount of road, you need to deter an increasing fraction of those cars from using those roads. The "carrot" is providing alternate, more space-efficient ways to get around: bike infrastructure, public transport.

[1] "driving demand" is itself a weaselly, meaningless phrase, because "demand" only makes sense in reference to a specific price level. motorists have been conditioned by a century of car-friendly policy to expect to drive and park for free, but there's no real justification for that. just because the roads are publicly owned doesn't give them the right to use them for free, any more than state-owned railways should have free fares.

At the end of the day, a union is merely one of the ropes that workers can tug at to maintain leverage.

Doctors don't use unions. They instead artificially limit supply by erecting massive barriers to enter their workforce. This keeps them in demand. Software contrasts this with an open-door policy. On top of that, all white-collar labor jobs barring software involve serious licensing requirements as further gatekeeping.

Lawyers maintain leverage by making sure the it's Lawyers all the way up. No MBAs, people-persons or bean-counters controlling their profession. This means that the workers control important intangibles like customer relationships & hidden information ...both of which make you irreplaceable. Software instead pushes technical people from the stable-and-monetarily-rewarding positions by making the management-track entirely distinct from the working professional (IC). At the same time we obsess over building tools and systems that make everyone replaceable and automate ourselves away.

Immigration is another form of leverage. Tech being majority immigrants, means that they lose all leverage in what they can ask for when the ultimate guillotine is held over their heads. Do tech workers vote as a block on matters of immigration to improve their leverage ? No.

Work culture & pressure to conform can also be a type of leverage. If someone likes being well groomed, then professions that expect you to spend those 30 minutes getting perfectly ready are not cumbersome, it is leisure. Afterwork drinking ensures a good social life, but also ensures that everyone leaves work together at 5. It excludes, yes. But if you fit into that clique, then the conforming is effortless and the leverage comes for free. Consulting & finance are some examples of such businesses.

Tech isn't the only broken business. Restaurants & game design are broken for similar reasons.

Unions have their place, but a nation-wide tech worker union is a logistical impossibility. All too often, other levers are over-looked. Tech has made its bed : "learn to code. be a college drop out. get PMs to do the boring work and let them be promoted faster. I will let a glorified secretary be my manager. we will never put my community's 'legal' immigration priorities over those of the greater social issues I 'facilitating illegal immigration' my tribe asks me to commit to....and so on.

For my Java projects, to support different environments - corp proxies, let's say - I have to have entire different gradle files, plugins, options, routing, it's just disgusting.

For my JS projects (obviously actually TS these days), I use the exact same config, it's parametrizable to take in one argument - the private registry to use.

It's amazing for really using. Unlike Java package managers.

You mean:

You could probably automate it by providing a package.json of sorts, and reading from there...
Welp, looks like it keeps flickering on and off for me now.
The idea with them is to “break” reactivity. In the local space where you define them that’s totally fine because you’re obviously doing it in order to have useEffects that only run when their real dependencies change.

If these are passed down you’re invisibly breaking the reactivity of the child components. It’ll be too easy to shoot yourself in the foot in a child component by assuming that that you can use one of these in your own useEffect.
Yup I was going to say the same.

If I want to go back and play GTA V or RDR2 after a few months, I'm going to spend ~10 minutes finding a guide to my Xbox controller and trying to remember how you do all ~30 actions. And then still spend the next 30 minutes pressing the wrong buttons until I finally get back in my muscle memory.

On my Quest 2, you just go. Of course the games tend to be much simpler too. But memorizing how to use the controllers has just never been something I had to do.

Is someone going to make a ChatGPT synthesis of Matt Levine's writings?

Imagine you have, like, a writer who is really knowledgeable about a subject, and you have readers who would like to learn about this subject, but also have limited time. And, I mean, the writer is really prolific and sometimes feels almost a bit too verbose. In these kinds of markets, sometimes there is no deal to be struck, and...that's fine? But imagine if there were an intermediary who could summarize the writing in a way more accessible to people who are casually interested.
"slow" is on the eye of the beholder :). Maybe a week is slow for some, maybe a year is slow for others.

I can say this though, adding features comes at a cost. Not the programmer-cost of the feature though, all the other costs;

A) documentation. If it isn't documented, it doesn't exist. Good docs takes time and effort (and skill).

B) UI clutter. Most features require at least some UI to be added to the program. Menu item, check box, whatever. So 100 features later you have 100 little UI things, and it's starting to feel cluttered.

C) utility versus long-term maintainence. Add one more report, which only a tiny number of customers asked for (and none of them will actually use) and you will be updating that report _forever_. 100 reports like this later, and there's a lot of overhead.

D) training. Existing users will see this new UI. They need to be trained on it. Who's doing that? When?

E) overkill - simple programs appeal to people with simple needs. If Wordpad will do, the Word is overkill. Sometimes adding features means you're now targeting a different market, at a different price point.

F) security. Sure we can add JavaScript support. Not sure that's a good idea though. Features need to be thought-through from a security perspective.

G) price versus return. Sure it costs money to add this (plus all the above) - who's paying for that?

Well, it’s not that such platforms are always needed, though. For instance you may rely on confluence so that managers can write and share documents… well, why not let them write and share documents via github/gitlab (assuming your company is already using these platforms)? Common answer is: managers don’t know how to use github/gitlab. But that’s a sad scenario. Perhaps the company should hire managers who know how to use (or are willing to learn!) github/gitlab? I bet such managers end up being better than the regular ones.

Thanks very much for your response, I think it makes the most sense - that is, 1.5 degrees isn't some "magic number", but every .1 degree makes things disproportionally worse, and we want to limit the damage as much as possible.

In that case, I think still harping on the 1.5 degree number is a communications mistake. It is obviously impossible at this point (see the edit in my original comment), and so I think focusing it risks encouraging a "well, this is obviously too late, might as well enjoy our bread and circuses while they last" attitude. I think it would be much better if scientists said "Remember when we warned you about that 1.5 degree limit? Well, y'all f'd that up, so now a lot of these dire predictions are going to come true. Oh, and here is a whole host of even more dire predictions that will occur for every .1 degree you miss the limit, so you better try to limit carbon emissions as much as you can to prevent things from becoming more screwed than they are already guaranteed to be."

I just think that any messaging that talks about things eventually being "too late" is bad from a public motivation standpoint.

also fwiw, while xml is kind of not very pretty, for most dependencies, you literally google "mydependency maven", click the first link, click the version you want, then literally just copy/paste the XML into your pom.xml.

Is it as slick as 1 command? No. But it's certainly not rocket science, and most libraries github readmes even provide you the maven <dependency /> blob, so it's not usually confusing imo. And also, I do want to point out that "just npm -i mything" comes with problems like typosquatting, which is a lot less common in java afaik.

We're all primed to see conflicts more frequently when we use a mode more frequently. A lot of folks who don't bike only really encounter cyclists when they're pedestrians walking around, and so feel this fear then. In the US cyclists break rules at roughly a similar [1] rate to drivers according to an FDOT study. FWIW cyclists interact with drivers much more frequently which is why so many cyclists feel animosity toward drivers.

Maybe you should take your own advice.

You are really missing my point. Humans use language, syntax, thinking, etc. We know what those patterns are. LLMs do not. LLMs don't approach text with the same models that humans use: they model the text directly. Any pattern, whether it be a word or sentence or even a pattern that humans have no name for at all: the LLM models that pattern.

What we humans call "syntax", "word", "idea", etc.; LLMs don't. They don't have any names for any things. They just have the collection of things in front of them, and implicitly model that collection.

An LLM doesn't think objectively about its model, either. It only constructs continuations by modeling prompts. It is the content of the prompt itself that determines the continuation, not "thought".
