I think the first step toward sanity is to stop factoring services by team sizes - “we have 100 people so require 20 microservices”.

Instead, factor services along natural fault lines. These are areas in the solution that scale differently from other parts and can tolerate communicating over http or message queue.

It is fine to have lots of people work on a single service. We compose things using 3rd party libraries all the time. Just treat internal code a bit more like 3rd party libraries.
I didn’t ask for the gift and I don’t owe anyone anything for it. If you want to treat life as some kind of exchange, you at least need consent from the parties to it.
Seems extremely similar to the Point-e work done a few months ago.
I would imagine that just doing Veitoris Rips on the point-e would get close to this solution as well, although that would be a bit too logic based for the ML world we live in now.
Yes, exactly!

I’ve several times been in the position of writing a new UI for an existing API. You find yourself wanting to validate stuff before the user hits “submit”, because hiding errors until after submitting is terrible UX; and to do that, you find yourself digging into the server code to figure out the validation logic, and duplicating it.

And then years or months later the code gets out of sync, and the client is enforcing all sorts of constraints that aren’t needed on the server any more! Not good.

“symmetric affective polarization among parents and childfree adults driven primarily by parent’s ingroup favoritism”

Hard time parsing this statement. Are they suggesting parents being prejudicial makes kids less likely to later become parents themselves?

I don’t know what to say. 1993 was definitely not better than 2023.

The world moves forwards, three steps forward and two steps back. Human rights have progressed enormously since 1993 and that’s largely due to regulation. Deaths from smoking have been reduced. Deaths from car accidents have declined. Incredible, life changing drugs have been developed. And, of course, things have become worse in other ways. Wealth inequality being a very big one.

Things might have been great if you were healthy and wealthy in 1993, but I’d definitely not want to go back there.

> In fact, older parents were slightly more likely to want to change something about their life.”

As I’m a parent, I know lots of parents and it’s clear several should not have had kids. I don’t mean they appear to be bad at parenting,* I mean they plainly appear to regret the decision.

* in that case I think it’s unreasonable to say such folks shouldn’t have had kids.

I clarify because, at least in the US (Canadian laws may differ), afaik building inspection is buyer beware.

If an inspector checked something and if they noted the flaw then it would have been addressed. Or they could have just not checked, not noted, or missed it.

Same with home inspectors, who are under no legal liability except for the most gratuitous and obvious flaws.

Which is contrary to how most people assume the system works when they're buying a new-build house.

The negative externalities aren’t priced in. That’s just a simple fact. If they were then gas would be $20+ per gallon and we wouldn’t have most of the population suffering from obesity. Cities like Columbus wouldn’t have 200+ acres of surface parking lots (most American cities suffer from the same problem).

You can tell that the externalities aren’t priced in because the problems they cause continue to stay the same or get worse (obesity, coral reefs dying, car crashes killing kids and stuff).

Tangentially related: A hobby I found immensely rewarding as of late is to ask a generative model to draw something pretty and then try to make the object in real life.

I have previously asked dall-e to draw me steampunk watch-like gizmos, selected the prettiest and then I went and carved it out of wax. And right now I'm 3d modelling a copper owl jewellery design dreamed up by Midjourney.

It is a really exciting exercise because it makes me think about what do I like about the image, what is the "essence of it". It is also stretches my maker muscles because when I design things for myself from scratch I always keep in mind the constraints of my tools and techniques. But of course the AI has no such compunctions. It just draws something pretty, manufacturability be damned.

Are you saying truck nuts aren't part of a fertility ritual?
Depends on your jurisdiction. In Germany, for example, a court has recognized that Facebook enters in a contractual relationship with you when you register on the platform. As such, Facebook agrees to store and let you access your information on the platform in exchange for the permission to use that data for its own purposes.
The highest court in Germany (BGH) confirmed this in a court case that Facebook lost where parents were denied full access to the Facebook account of their deceased daughter (they were only allowed to view the memorialized profile but not log in and read the chat messages, for example). The court found that the parents rightfully inherited the contractual relationship with Facebook in its entirety and as such had to be given access to the data that Facebook agreed to store and make accessible to its user.

Full ruling available here (in German):

LG Berlin https://openjur.de/u/870262.html, which was appealed by Facebook and then went to the BGH (highest court) which ruled in favour of the parents: https://openjur.de/u/2110135.html

I don’t understand. You should have as many kids as you possibly can (à la Monty Python) to provide the “gift” as widely as possible? Or you owe other people (mostly ppl you don’t know) the existence of a child for some reason?
If the pro life folks get what they want, there should be plenty of adoptable infants available shortly.
I've always been puzzled by the 'its so selfish to not have kids' idea. Like where does that come from?

How did you come to that conclusion, was it something you came to one day after careful consideration or was it something you heard one day and just started saying because everyone else was saying it?

I don't mean that to be rude, I'm genuinely curious. Like what's so selfish about it?

If Norman Borlaug or Frederick Banting never had children but they otherwise did the work that they did, would you consider them selfish?

Is someone who has 10 kids in poverty less selfish than someone not poor who only has 1?

What's the ideal number of children to minimize selfishness?

In the past and in other industries you'd choose the former because you'd get hit hard if your manager realized what you were doing. But in the easy-money FAANG world your manager is usually playing the same game, so they actually prefer that you go with the latter.
In Washington State we have an account for toll infrastructure. You set a top-up amount and a minimum. When the minimum is reached, the top-up is charged to your card and applied. If that fails a bill is mailed to you. If you fail to pay that then civil penalties are assessed.
Then go and advocate for that if you want that to happen. As someone who does advocate, I think pricing externalities is infinitely better than how CEQA works but CEQA is much more palatable to the electorate than pricing externalities.

I think you've misinterpreted me. I'm not a capitalists apologists, I just acknowledge the difference between theory and implementation.

Capitalism as a theory does promote undesirable incentives, that's why I wrote "it promotes the 'bad' parts of human nature, i.e. greed, ego, materialism, etc..." I think you also missed where I wrote "You could implement a capitalist economy that discourages cronyism by capping the number of employees a company can have and limiting the radius they conduct business." I thought I was implying it with 'ma and pa shops' but perhaps I should have used more exact numbers: capping the number of employees to 10 and then limiting the radius of business to 5 miles would make businesses so numerous, small, and presumably with a low enough startup cost that "disgruntled employees" could realistically strike it out on their own. Also, I only suggested the capping/geographical limiting as an idea/example. It's easy to imagine other ideas for discouraging the "bad" parts of capitalism, like forcing a wage ratio, e.g. the CEO cannot make more than 10 times what their average worker makes.

I never watch news so I cannot comment on anything topical. My thoughts are my own. If something I wrote has some sort of political connotations to current goings-on, then that's coincidence.

Personally, I dream of a Star Trek-ien utopia that promotes a pro-work culture with no money, no copyrights, no intellectual property, offers equal opportunity, and utilizes technology - like AI - to free folks to pursue a more meaningful existence. People should democratically vote on the services they want - food and shelter being the most obvious - and if there aren't enough volunteers for these services, then you conscript them. My thinking is if the military can conscript people to fight wars, then certainly you can conscript people to perform economic work; especially since it would be work that the majority democratically voted for! Everything we have today is because people built it; under the implementation I'm proposing we can still have everything - people just have to be willing to work for it in the absence of the "bad" parts of human nature. I'm not naïve enough to believe the implementation I'm describing would be immune to problems. At the end of the day, people have to "believe" in the system and want to make it work.

That’s a good and logical story, but it doesn’t match the reality in my experience.

Companies use SPA frameworks for the same reason they use native apps, to make a “richer”, more responsive, more full-featured UI.

Analytics is typically done in a separate layer by a separate team, usually via Google Tag Manager. There might be a GA plugin for your UI framework, but it can work equally well with plain HTML. GA does use a bunch of client-side JS, yes, but it’s not really a framework you use on the client side, it’s just a switch you flip to turn on the data hose.

In my experience, trying to add analytics cleanly to clientside UI code is a complete pain. Trying to keep the analytics schema in sync as the UI evolves is really hard, and UI developers generally find analytics work tedious and/or objectionable and hate doing it.

Google Tag Manager is the big story in adtech, and I think it comes from and inhabits a completely different world from Angular, React etc.

A "this doesn't look like an email-address, did you mean...

Stop right there.

I'm tired of receiving mail from people that gave my email address as if it was their own.

Never ever accept an email address unless you can instantly confirm it's valid sending an email and waiting for an answer. If the user can't access their email on the spot, just leave it blank and use another data as key.

I wish they included that in GDPR or something.
> Yes, it was designed with documents in mind, but this claim that documents are antithetical to applications is something I fail to understand.

You fail to understand it because it doesn't make any sense. It's just a bunch of cantankerous complaining excuses that all serve to under mind the only computing medium users & developers have ever gotten to cooperate on.

Most of the big players are using WebComponents. Once you start using the web well, the web's html looks a heckuva lot like Android Layout xml, or any other widget tree in any other "application" system. (Oh except it also has better out of box experience & better support for arbitrary zoom and reactive sizing.)

> Most SPAs fail to live up to their promise, not because there is something about the DOM that is incompatible with a type of UI, but because the chain of command in software development, especially when it comes to web apps, is dysfunctional.

Most companies make bad apps, period. It's just more visible on the place where we use dozens or hundreds of different sites a day, many of which we've rarely see, and no one uses apps anywhere remotely that actively.

I’m genuinely interested in the environmental discussion that took place during engineering that led to this decision. There are a couple of federal statutes pertaining to construction of roads on (or near) historic properties (FHWA Sec. 106 and 4f). I can’t imagine that this was an ineligible historical resource given its age and historical significance.

They were most likely hi-fi (weren't all the non-hifi ones coax?) but it would not have mattered if I had used a 2" Studer, bouncing down is not a good way to maintain quality, especially how I was doing it. Most of my gear was from the 60s and 70s and probably not in the best repair, even if perfect such gear would generally have noticeable noise and I generally used this gear during the bouncing down as well to apply filtering and the like. So 2 track and 2 track to 4 mixed tracks, then 4 mixed tracks and 2 tracks to 6 tracks, then those 6 and another two recording over the 4 track mix, repeat for as many tracks as were recorded. All that noise is getting copied over and over and adding to the total noise floor and those tapes being reused over and over meant wear on the tape since the vast majority of VCRs like the majority of consumer tape based gear had shit transports.
People doing development/marketing/sales of software for money will not go back, but end users who can write software could go back.

The systems can be worse because of what other commenters mention, the financial incentives, but also the companies profiting from worse systems must ensure that expectations are gradually lowered amongst people who write software and that these peoples' "skills" are progressively dumbed down. That is how they ensure that status quo is maintained and that people will never "go back".

Meanwhile, hardware and networking improvements have been amazing.
