The US government is working on PNT (position, navigation, and timing), communications, awareness (tracking objects, the beginnings of 'space traffic control' (my term), etc.) and much more via multiple agencies, in order to 'domesticate' (my word) cislunar space, defined as from geosynchronous orbit out past the Moon.

Shoot, that was true long before any given recession. A stretch limo is a rapidly depleted asset that nobody wants after its a few years old. When I lived in Oklahoma City many years ago, I bought a limo off Doc Severinsen, who owned a nightclub there. It was built from a 1983 Grand Marquis, basically an extra-long police car. Didn't cost me a dollar, I just had to get it off their lot (it didn't run, until I fixed it).

I've never heard of pitch memory before, but this makes total sense. When things make noise around me, I sometimes remember songs that have that note. My favourite one was my motorised stand-up desk which when going up would sound the same as Beyonce's Crazy in Love - and when I think about it right now, I hear the pitch, the song, and that motor in my head.

> Like other consumer tech giants, Microsoft has historically fought right-to-repair bills while restricting access to spare parts, tools, and repair documentation to its network of “authorized” repair partners. In 2019, the company even helped kill a repair bill in Washington state. But in recent years the company has started changing its tune on the issue.

This surprises me. Microsoft legendarily succeeded on the back of "IBM PC compatible" copycat hardware. Their whole concept is that you run their software on whatever machine you have. What were they trying to protect?

I worked with a programmer who, rather than fixing his code to address the problems these warnings are intended to catch, would sprinkle his code with #pragma or whatever incantation necessary to cause the compiler to ignore the problem code in that specific case. Thus when the automated builds ran, even with warnings on, it would never flag his bad code.

I get that sometimes there are circumstances where the warning is a false positive, as the article mentions, so these escape hatches are useful. It's not the case with my former co-worker who seemed to reflexively use these escape hatches whenever he didn't understand why the compiler didn't like his code. It didn't help that he was dependent on his IDE to hold his hand. I suspect today he'd just let one of the LLMs write his code for him.

The idea of purebred dogs is a fairly recent concept and a pretty terrible one. We understand the ramifications of inbreeding in humans, so I don’t know why it seems to be such a cognitive leap for folks to understand why inbred dogs are less healthy and often develop undesirable traits (alongside some inbred desirable ones).

I have had many dogs over the years a number of mutts and a number of pure bred dogs and the pure bred dogs have almost always had both personality and health issues to varying degrees. The mutts tend to have a more even disposition and are longer lived.

Kayak shows a "Set up passkey" button with no indication that I already have one or any apparent way to revoke the existing one. Very bad.

Shop Pay does clearly show what passkeys exist, and allows revocation and addition. However, when I try to add one on Chrome on macOS, it only lets me set up a Chrome passkey. (These don't sync between devices. It should have let me set up whatever kind I wanted.) Also, the list just indicates passkeys by what browser type last used them, like "Chrome on macOS." So according to the list I have two passkeys that are just described as "Chrome on macOS" and they are indistinguishable.

I can't imagine recommending anyone try this unless they are consciously an early adopter.

I've worked at a number of places using Rails and places using other languages. I cannot square your argument with my experience.

The place I currently work has a 10 year old Rails monolith, less than 50 developers (I joined at ~10 devs) and features are still shipped very quickly. I would say that the Rails framework is one aspect of several that has allowed the company to ship fast and be very profitable without having to grow the engineering team massively.

I've worked places where we've made a complete mess out of Java or .NET code. You might be correct that there is a degree of group think within Rails developers, but that's actually a good thing because they don't deviate too far away from a set of conventions for writing their code, which causes less mess. And they at least know what a convention is and stick to it once you agree on it.

At one point in my career I thought I had put Rails behind me because it's not that compatible with services that are supposed to be more scalable. However, this again goes against your argument, I saw just how much overhead was being generated by that kind of architecture. Yes you could have way more developers working on the product, but they weren't working on deliverable features, they were working on integrating with the rest of the system. I'm sure there are team scalable limits to Rails. I've noticed though that as our product has become more complex more of the code needs to be frontend in order to support that interface complexity and so perhaps that team limit can actually be stretched out a very long way.

Caveats: I think Rails is good and I'm defending it because I think the argument made here is bunk, but I'm sure there are Rails codebases that are a complete mess. I've pointed out other languages where I've seen issues, but I've also seen great codebases in those languages, so it's not a knock against them in particular. I'm not opposed or for any particular architecture, my experience is just that something like Rails can get you started much faster and can scale much further than a subset of devs seem to think.
> People who had a diagnosis of ADHD as a kid (when getting diagnosed with it was all the rage) have to jump through insane hoops if they disclose that on their FAA medical.

The FAA could change this instantly by simply abandoning their “have you ever” language and focusing on whether or not the pilot currently requires medication for a condition.

The government just loves those “have you ever” questions, though, as you know if you’ve ever applied for a clearance or gone through the immigration process. So they probably aren’t going away.

> Later that year, though, the right-to-repair movement scored some big wins. […] The very next day, New York’s legislature passed the bill that would later become the nation’s first electronics right-to-repair law.

It's hard to call it a "win". It has been sabotaged by the governor Kathy Hochul at the last minute, a year after it passed with supermajority. She was waiting a whole year to sign the bill and at the end decided add loopholes which made the bill worse than useless. People now think that the problem is solved when in reality nothing has been done.
The essential parts are two-fold:

0. There is no magic anywhere. Anywhere down a stack, in a system or in code, they are all just bits of code. The behavior lives somewhere. (Genchi genbutsu.)

1. Get the point A. to the point B is dataflow analysis. One can even deconstruct the RTL micro- and macrocode designs of a CPU or GPU this way. Input, process, output, and feedback encapsulate represented behavior be it a shell pipe, streaming IO class, Kafka, firewall, audio effect generator, or microcontroller.

Static compilers try to be efficient data flow analysts with as much liveness and constraint information as possible to apply optimization transformations. It's interesting that static optimization passes act are usually implemented
as middleware patterns that stack.
Be very careful using this methodology. This is how you end up deleting stuff only called in rare but critical cases:

Yeah, I generally follow the idea that if a paper has one revealed error, it probably has a lot more errors that they didn't provide enough evidence to catch, so I didn't read what the correction was. This is a pretty dumb error to get through the writing process.

Not quite true, though while I was there, many fellow employees misunderstood the rules to mean that you couldn't use GPL software on your machine. At least as of a few years ago, the official ruling was that any open-source software _required_ for you to do your job had to be approved by an internal oversight group of sorts, and GPL and AGPL software was right out. You could, however, use any open-source software you wanted (including GPL and AGPL) so long as it was (1) for personal use, (2) not absolutely mandatory for you to do your job (e.g. some niche software or library propping up your employment), and (3) there was some other alternative tool that you could use if necessary.

So, for instance, a GPL-licensed git client like GitUp[1] was fine to use, and didn't require clearance. You could totally also install a newer version of Nano if you wanted, too.

But, the rules _were_ somewhat vague and scary-sounding, so many engineers I worked with took the rules to mean "absolutely no GPL software under any circumstances".

What email is actually talking about is the option to bundle Nano _with the OS_, which Apple can't do with GPLv3 software. That's why for years, for example, macOS has had an absolutely ancient version of bash (before the license was updated to GPLv3), and switched to zsh in newer versions of the OS.

If you invest a small amount over what you would with a Crosley into playback, you'd get why people seek out vinyl, especially older or really good modern pressings.

Sadly, a lot of pressings these days are pretty bad, so it taints the listener's concept of what vinyl could sound like (in addition to the Crosley).

That said, if people want to spend $30-50 on a random color variant they'll never listen to, then mozel.. they could act as an investment or just art.

>This is hyper dangerous

It sounds like the same issue exists with this approach of removing unused libraries and binaries that have not been run in a while. My suggestion is just expanding it from binaries that haven't run to libraries that haven't run. You could even just put this information into some code health dashboard. If code isn't run that means that it isn't providing value or it isn't being tested in production. How can you be sure some rare failure case actually works and doesn't take down the system if you never test it out to see if it works.

>GWP is also only able to instrument a very small number of requests.

As I mentioned before this could be limited to popular services where it is enabled and where a small number of a giant number of requests is still a big number.

It’s a balancing test. Cooking on electric stoves is a far worse experience than cooking on gas. Induction stovetops are somewhat better than the classical electric tops that generate heat through resistance, but only somewhat.

I am stuck using an electric stovetop, and will replace it with an induction one soon, but I would switch to gas in a heartbeat if it were available.

The problem with this part of your argument is that it ignores free will, and conflates morals with ethics. Blocking ads is a moral imperative for me, because I decide which programming I watch. The self-serving reasoning and the superior logical reasoning are one and the same.

Ethically, it might also be wrong to do. But not for the reasons you describe here.
