I agree that meritocracy is the gold standard and that diversity programs usually have problems in direct proportion to how much concrete action they actually take. However, equity is obviously good, and is not mutually exclusive with meritocracy. You kind of imply agreement there, using quotes to imply that people strive for a false kind of equity, but then you say "no, I do not believe that we need to make up for an 'unequal start to life'", which is exactly the type of equity that is compatible with meritocracy.

It's the key part of your post, but it doesn't really stand on its own without some kind of explanation. It's kind of like saying, "There is no such thing as an 8-foot-tall bird. And no, ostriches don't count."
But what is considered a “moment wasted”? “Stop wasting you time” is an expression we are all aware of, and probably heard many times. Yet, philosophically speaking, isn’t life a waste of time?
> People can (and do) know things without having enough evidence to stand up in court.

But "people" cannot use that knowledge to deny access to money to other people if they don't have evidence that can stand up in court. Yet banks can. That is wrong. That is giving banks too much power without accountability. Yes, some of the entities they cut off will "deserve it", at least in your eyes; but many others won't. We already know how this plays out: it's the same every time a centralized entity wants more power. They claim it's to "protect" us against something, but it's really just to enrich them at our expense. Don't take the bait.
Playing "Legion TD2" had been great for my recognition of national flags.

I just looked at this. It feels awfully brittle. My goal at the moment is to try to support every version of LÖVE going forward. All my apps work with any version after 11.0. Hopefully that streak won't be too onerous to continue in the future.

Some car automatically lock their doors during driving in order to prevent hijackings, especially at red lights.

Same cars has issues with drivers being locked inside if the car goes into the water. That is a bug.

Is the solution to abandon locks on cars, or is the solution to fix the problem of the car doors staying locked when submerged into water? The security system by now is fairly advanced and addressing issues with accidents is a real problem. No one however would sell cars without locks.
I thought was impossible somehow?

The most devastating and primary attack I am worried about is someone obtaining a TLS certificate for my domain via services like Let's Encrypt.

Thus, I really care about LE getting the right IP, I don't care about random users' DNS getting hijacked because their browser will reject the missing/invalid certificate.
There doesn't need to be any children or pollution involved. It does mean that the iPhone might be double the price, but that to me is the whole point of deglobalization: prevent capital from running around our labor and environment laws, and establish an equal global playing field.
There's a bit in Snow Crash that goes on an on about being the "baddest motherfucker in the world". How if only you had the right training or thirst for revenge or whatever, you could be the baddest motherfucker in the world. And then it says Hiro doesn't have to worry about that because the position is taken (in the novel, by antagonist and terrorist Raven).

So when I worry about not being the baddest motherfucker in the world, I just remind myself that we live in a universe with Kristy Hawkins in it. Kristy Hawkins graduated summa cum laude from Texas A&M University and got her Ph.D. in chemical engineering from CalTech. She did this while pursuing a bodybuilding career that took her to the Ms. Olympia stage. As a point of reference, Dolph Lundgren decided he could only do one or the other and forwent his Ph.D. in favor of bodybuilding and acting.

Currently, Kristy is a principal in a biotech startup that has had enormous success synthesizing pharmaceutical compounds from yeast, so she is not even in the unfortunate position of so many biochem Ph.D.s, grinding away as a postdoc in some dead-end non-tenure university job. She's making serious money.

And she is the #2 powerlifter in the world by DOTS score. Not the #2 female powerlifter. The #2 powerlifter.

So if there ever were a candidate for baddest motherfucker in the world, Kristy Hawkins definitely is one. And I know I will never be as good at... seemingly everything as Kristy Hawkins is. So I try to focus my energy on things I know I can do and things I enjoy getting better at, like programming, cooking, and taking care of my wife and the animals. Ultimately that last bit is the most important thing, doing right by those you care about.

Just take some time each day to remind yourself that you will never be the baddest motherfucker in the world. And you will never quiet the stern angry voice of your father in your head telling you you fucked up, you failed, you weren't good enough. So get rid of the need to be the baddest (because it'll never happen) and ignore your father's voice. Your real father will get old anyway and as he ages he will realize what an asshole he's been and mellow out and reforge a bond with the person you are, not the person he wishes you were. (That is if he's anything like mine. And just substitute mother for father if she was the one doing most of the pushing.) Just focus on doing things you love and don't be afraid of screwing up! Every chess grandmaster lost many games getting to where they are. The winner of the Tour de France fell off their bike dozens of times learning to ride.
One could argue it more moral to deal with those externalities within the wealthy nations than offloading them to poorer, less well-regulated economies.

Western nations pride themselves with achievements in environmental, labour and other industry regulations. Extending them further down the supply chain would maximize their positive effects.
There's a difference between ICC colour profiling (which is embedded in the RAW file and can be changed by the photographer without any degradation in image quality) and what Samsung is doing. The former can only affect the image colours globally (for example, allowing adjustment of white balance) whereas Samsung's changes are local, affecting image data in a profound way that can add hallucinated details which were not present in the original scene. One rather disturbing example is that the tool added teeth to baby photos!
This isn't completely correct. At least one peer in the entire swarm needs to be accessible. Holepunching (BEP 55) can assist in the rest (albeit it's not ideal).
Mostly! Pattern matching is far superior to the visitor pattern. When I teach compilers using the Appel book, there's this blip of utter confusion that always shows up around the visitor pattern, which is used to implement either or both of semantic analysis or translation. Literally the visitor pattern is harder to understand than compilers.

How do you think the russian empire worked before the revolution? (or after)

Or how it became an empire in the first place?

"Ernesto Guevara"

And how exactly was for example the history rewritten for the worse regarding this person?

He is mostly regarded a hero with lots of merchandise to buy everywhere on the west. If his history was rewritten, then by socialists who dreamed of the clean, heroic revolution and closed their eyes to the bloddy, murderous work he did. (Not saying that those who hunted him down were any better)

And Castro did not allow his underlings to leave the country at free will. Among other stuff.

Or how did the indian empire(s) worked before the britains came? (would you enjoy being born in a low caste?) Or china. Or the Zulu. Or the aztecs, etc. etc.

Or read a bit about Haile Selassi.

It seems you are making a artificial line and claiming all or most of the evil came from the north. How is that helpful?

I’ve found two ways to rekindle my love for coding/programming after I experienced similar disillusionment:

1) switched to information security. I found reverse engineering, doing CTFs, and hacking things in general brought back the sense of joy I’d lost.

So I took a job reverse engineering/exploiting embedded devices with half the pay and loved it, which ended up being one of the best places I’ve worked (and the pay quickly increased as I loved what I did)

2) Eventually left that role (sadly) and built my own business — this is the only time I’ve truly had my building itch scratched, as the only limit was my ability.

Granted, this requires some soft skills like sales and business acumen to be profitable/sustainable (i.e. knowing “what” to build is harder than building generally) — but incredibly satisfying.

You also have nuclear power as 75% of your supply and buy our excess renewable on the energy exchange, so you are doing excellent - just make sure that number goes up, not down, unlike a certain ill-advised neighbor of yours.

Our environment-focused market-regulating taxes are also not altitude dependent.

Fun fact, nuclear power has the lowest direct and indirect (e.g., cancer, pollution) death rate per Wh of any supply source - despite high-profile disasters - beating even wind power which while entirely harmless has a considerably higher deaths from accidents during construction and maintenance. The only negative aspect is high up-front construction cost, but that is a low price for the many human lives saved by reduced oil or coal pollution from the plants that were replaced where wind or solar is not an option.

Ah. I have a current AHA BLS cert. My understanding is, do breathing if you think there is a clear airway, and you have the appropriate PPE depending on the fluids on/around the person's mouth, and either you are doing compressions because there is no pulse or there is a pulse but the person is not breathing on their own. If you do choose to do rescue breathing, it's important to watch for chest rise to ensure that you're not breathing into their stomach, which is ineffective and will induce vomiting if the person regains consciousness.

There is a decision tree there that some people may be uncomfortable with in an emergency.

I welcome corrections from people with better training than mine.
I have had the same experience, interestingly in the same time frame. I felt that when doing Java projects I needed to enter this special telepathic flow-state with my IDE and cut-paste shortcuts and change huge chunks of code every time the model changed a little bit. Transitioning to immutable data classes with functions operating on the classes, and abstractions focusing on what functions operated on them and in what context made life much easier.
I think the captchas will soon get much easier.

One of the best post on FP I read was John Carmack's realisation that FP had a strong place in any code base [0].

It's a really valuable lesson to keep most function as pure and stateless, but transformation of the existing state.

Build your entire codebase around this idea and frankly, abstraction will take care of itself.

I think abstraction is promoted way too much in programming. People use lisp macros as an example of too much abstraction since it allows you to write a DSL that only you understand yet they celebrate the poor man's DSL they create using their OOP abstractions.

I like the math homework approach to programming. First you get in there with a vague idea of what you need to do, you bang your head against it until it starts to make some sense. You then move on to more complicated examples only to realize that what you thought you knew was wrong. After going through many of these iterations you might start to notice some patterns common to all examples and if you're lucky they might turn out to be true. This is rare and only happens when you have a very good understanding of the problem.
Their take is that non-AI companies like shoe makers are adding AI mentions to their marketing, so that means that AI is an incremental hype not such an important change.
LetEncrypt does validate DNSSEC signatures (when they exist), but CA's aren't even required to do that. LetsEncrypt also does multi-perspective lookups, so a single hijacked DNS transaction or poisoned cache is insufficient to trick it. Hopefully, at some point in the not-too-distant future, LE's multi-perspective lookup will generate data we can look at about the frequency of DNS attacks on certificate issuance. I expect it to be quite rare, because it's an elaborate attack with a weak payoff.

The right way to think about this CA issue is this:

* The largest, best-funded, savviest security teams in tech are, like the rest of tech, not signing their domains; the major TLDs are overwhelmingly not signed (there is low single digit uptake in .COM for instance, and what's there is overwhelmingly not big companies but rather random domains signed by registrars that auto-sign). Nobody who's actually targeted for CA misissuance attacks uses DNSSEC to mitigate that threat.

* The WebPKI already has a system in place to guard against misissuance that, unlike DNSSEC, actually does work: Certificate Transparency. So if you're actually concerned about CAs not issuing bogus certs for you, match your revealed preferences to your stated ones and set up CT monitoring.
I tend to agree, a related concern that I share is with CBDC, programmable money would truly be a dystopian thing. I don’t this some tangible things should go away, cash is a firm contract and it should remain that way.
Honestly I don't really care about the freedom argument anymore. If the government wants they can just black bag you anyway. And we all know how many time leftists have had someone "deplatformed" from money for thinking wrong. It just doesn't make a difference.

What it would make a difference with is crime. All the drug dealing, child prostitution and money laundering from those businesses would be fucked overnight. Sure they can still do it, but it's a hell of a lot harder when everything is recorded. All it takes is one break in the case and suddenly you've got every single financial record and you've wiped out 10b in criminal profit. That would hugely benefit the world.
Probably that it’s very centralized. Or at least that the price is able to be highly influenced by a few individuals/groups.
I would say yes. Some of the answers here are referring to population stats and you are worrying about your particular circumstances, which is different.

If someone you come across (family, stranger, whatever) keels over you need to, without proper medical knowledge, diagnose the issue and then administer appropriate treatment. Oh and could you do it within a couple of minutes please.

CPR should be a last resort - it can be rather barbaric. A defib has a way better chance of success and won't break your ribs.

A defib costs around £1000 or so. Hopefully that money is wasted.

Abstractions, like so many other things, can be "difficult" along two axes: they can be hard to learn, or they can be hard to use. The former increase cognitive load as you're learning them, sure, but they can also pay off massively once you do—abstract math is hard but also lets us manage complexity and express ideas we would not be able to handle otherwise. On the other hand, lots of abstractions aren't particularly hard to learn (usually because they aren't very abstract!), but either don't do much or carry an ongoing amount of complexity as you use them. It doesn't matter how well you've learned about pointers or malloc + free, non-trivial code using them requires a lot of care and is easy to mess up. (This is a controversial point, but it should be clear given the number of bugs and security vulnerabilities we find due to memory safety issues in real code!)

I see it as a trade-off between abstract thought and working memory. You can spend time up-front to reduce the amount of details you need to keep in your head as you go along, or you can continue to juggle more details to learn less up-front.

The problem, of course, is that most people don't differentiate between the two. In some sense, it's only fair: if an abstraction carries some up-front cognitive cost as you're learning it, how do you know it'll get better? Do you even have the time to learn something new right this moment? But, ultimately, it's a massive difference and avoiding abstractions that are hard up-front is self-defeating in the long term.

Haskell abstractions mostly fall in the former camp: hard to learn, but powerful once you have. I've worked with some pretty poor Haskell code and the abstractions that seemed hard when I was a beginner were exactly what made it easier to understand messy code! Turns out that expressive types and effect management mean that I don't have to carefully understand which parts of the code can affect each other indirectly and which parts can't; it's all explicit in the structure of the code. I had to learn the language and the concepts to understand it but, once I did, I could read it directly from the program rather than needing to simulate the code in my head.

I've found that, most of the time, the KISS design philosophy is heavily weighted in the opposite direction: it's all about avoiding concepts and abstractions that a reader would need to learn, but at the expense of having everybody keep more details in their head as they're writing and reading the code. The small pieces might each be easier to understand, but there are a whole bunch more pieces to track for the same amount of logic!

The problem with a blanket "how hard will somebody else find this code to read?" is that so much of it rides on familiarity rather than anything fundamental to the code. And that's what matters in any specific situation, to be sure... but it doesn't answer the broader question of how we should be writing (and reading) code. After all, even if familiarity dominates in the immediate short term, it might still be worth up-front learning to have a better experience in the medium and long term.
Since banks are the ones who control access to money, and banks are doing it, who are these other people that you are talking about that aren’t allowed to do it?

Banks are doing this at the behest of the gov’t.

Oh, and those sanctions and the like - what do you think they actually look like paperwork wise?

You seem to be arguing that what is, isn’t?

If you want to say that what is, is bad, then hey I’m not arguing against that! I’m just pointing out what is going on right now in front of us, and has been for a very long time.
Yes.

Luckily for my argument there are relatively few people who are Will Smith's kids (2, I guess) and relatively many who are, for example, black middle class kids who face significant challenges that their white middle class peers would not. A strictly class-based DEI type program would not acknowledge this reality.
I appreciate this post, and while many parts of my career are different, I feel you. Sounds to me like you enjoy working hard with smart people…maybe try teaching hs math or something. The work is rewarding and you notice most incremental effort you put in. Staff vary but you can usually find a core group of coworkers who are passionate and idealistic. You’ll take a massive pay cut, feel exhausted after each day, and your soul will slowly heal.
