It's particularly antidemocratic because so many of the people working there can't afford to live there.

This is true. I recently worked on a large Python application and both discovery and refactoring were a NIGHTMARE. Things that were a complete breeze in Java (or really, any strongly typed language)
I think you need a process of extensions where each extension can be reasonably denied or approved.

Old evidence is evidence, e.g. DNA and that should be used to both prosecute and to set innocent people free.

I get the potential for abuse, that is why you need a time limit and process to extend it.
A log to secure TLS which clients typically obtain over a TLS connection and whose violations they report over a TLS connection. It's a circular dependency.

CT provides a guarantee like: "hopefully one of those devices will eventually connect to a non-compromised network and report the prior compromise". By observing the lack of such reports, we can be reasonably confident compromises of size N>millions are not happening, but it's difficult to reason about what compromises may be happening at small N.
This is partly true, I think. But it's more a problem of focus: the interesting part to many smart developers (and developers in general) is the initial solving of a problem. Very clever developers can go much longer without refactoring, since their cognitive capacity is higher. They can get through the initial problem solve in a single go, potentially, and have a complete mess on their hands. This is only bad if they stop there, though (many do). If they then put that cleverness to use _simplifying_ the code, they can produce some of the cleanest and best models for problems that you'll see. There's often no upside to it, though, so many just skip that step. Unfortunately.

I fully agree with you. You mentioned that sometimes applying the DRY principle is a bad thing. Really, people often adhere to the DRY principle far too dogmatically.

It’s better to have some duplication than to end up with a wrong abstraction.

I like the AHA principle much more. It suggests:

- Avoid Hasty Abstractions
- Prefer duplication over the wrong abstraction because duplication is far cheaper than the wrong abstraction

I found it here: https://kentcdodds.com/blog/aha-programming.

The point about duplication being better than wrong abstraction is made here: https://sandimetz.com/blog/2016/1/20/the-wrong-abstraction.

And the principle doesn’t suggest avoiding abstractions altogether. It’s really only about avoiding the hasty ones. Wait with the abstraction until you feel it’s necessary or when duplication itself becomes a problem. At that point, you’ll have a clearer understanding of how the abstraction should function.
For me, the takeaway is use 2FA, where the both authentication methods are not biometric. This renders eye scans, face scans, and fingerprints useless, and at least doubles the time it takes the Feds to "brute force" an iPhone. ACAB.

I think the fact that users are willing to give the site the finger and leave is a pretty good sign that you're human.
One caveat here; I work on US West Coast hours. Obviously time-zone issues are not as dramatic for hiring managers in Europe or Australia. Having said that…

I used to work with teams in Bangalore and Pune. My nightmare (which I lived too many times) was us finding an issue with the offshore team’s work on Friday morning. When that happened, I knew I wouldn’t see a fix until Tuesday morning at the earliest. There are no async workflows that can fix that problem.

Honestly, the best way to deal with time-zone issues is to hire senior folks. You need folks that can operate independently and can solve problems. Folks who can come up with solutions so they can keep working; not people who put down the keyboard for the day when they run into an edge case that’s not defined in the spec.

Here’s the thing: senior developers in India are expensive. Add your margin to their salary, and the rate you charge for people is going to come close to what I pay for a developer in LATAM. At that point, I’m better off paying for someone in Brazil (for example) so I don’t have to deal with the async headaches.
Power cuts both ways. Move one or two random items to a location they’ve placed them before but haven’t in awhile, call coworker in Milan with list of things to update, note down reactions and make slight adjustments to tactics until they snap and buy a social media network for $40bn.

Which competitors own their own fabs?
Let me restate my point in a more nuanced fashion after also talking to someone irl.

Theories are often parameterized by experimental constants. For the Standard Model, among many others, the mass of the proton is one such parameter. I assert that each different value of the parameter yields a different theory. The Standard Model is an infinite collection of theories parametrized by the proton mass and other parameters.

An experiment that measures the proton mass will falsify all theories in this collection that are outside the value + error bars of the measured proton mass.

There is always falsification in a valuable experiment. If you do another experiment that falsifies already discarded values of the proton mass, people will not pay attention - unless of course, you used some different techniques in your experiment which then increases our belief in the previous falsification.

Metaphors have limited applicability. The applicability of metaphors in quantum field theory that the public is ever exposed to is pretty mich limited to sounding cool and inspiring some awe in the face of all the mistery and complexity.

Im my experience, all terms in physics (like "particle", "wave", "energy") are highly context dependent and most PhDs could spend hours debating what is actually meant in a given case. Such discussions almost never lead to publishable results and are thus considered a waste of time, or leasure at best.

Usually, you just "shut up and calculate". Meanwhile, the calculations are motivated by "intuition", which involves combining known or unknown reasonable approximations with a basic theory. This process is never explained systematically and rather the hope is that it will be absorbed via osmosis by the brighter students.

It turns out, you actually don't need to have a coherent concept of "what a particle is" to perform particle physics experiments and evaluate the data. Sometimes, when pressed, operational definitions can be offered. For example, I've heard a professor say: "a particle is defined as a bump at a given energy in this plot". I'm not sure how ironic that was supposed to sound...

Wait till you find out what people do with electricity.
Depends how it's backed, how static it is, and so on.

The lisp runtime may fit in 20 MB, but not every language's runtime is so compressible. It may be smaller if one used something like C#/.NET where it's reasonable to assume, on windows, that everyone has specific common versions of the runtime laying around.

And then there are things like libraries. How dependent on the state of the OS do you want to be? Do you bring your own copy of SDL, or do you rely on it being installed? Even choice of graphics library can make a big difference, did you use something like DirectX which the OS will have all ready for you (assuming it supports it of course), or do you use something like OpenGL/Vulkan and invariably have to bring your own copies of various things like shader compilers and texture compression libraries.

In this case it's because it packages it's own copy of the JRE (which makes up more than 2/3rds of the contents). Which makes plain the greatest failure of Java, it was never a universal execution environment. Which is why every program ships their own copy of it and users no longer complain about "Update Java" notifications, or dealing with incompatible Java environments.
To clarify, my intention is to add to the measurement of value - not replace it.

The current measurements not only ignore but also contribute to the massive devastation of our irreplaceable biosphere, to the immense suffering caused by normalizing a barbaric, insensitive, cruel treatment for everything and everyone in the context of maximizing extraction and downright fraud of short term gains.

Donut (sustainable) economics is another model to consider.

> Decentraland, Voxels, and Horizon look like video games from 1990. There are people running around saying this can't be done. They're wrong. I've written a metaverse client that yields GTA V graphics quality... Users need a midrange gamer PC (NVidia 1060 or better, at least 6 CPUs).

Well yeah. Horizon Worlds runs directly on the Quest 2, not on a gaming PC.

Obviously anyone can achieve GTA V quality if you're powering it with a gaming PC, just by basing it on Unreal Engine.

It's a bit disingenuous to act like you've achieved something Meta couldn't. Now if you can get GTA V quality to run natively on Quest 2 hardware, then let's talk.

> Metaverses need to look as good and play as well as AAA title games.

Where's your evidence for that? People happily play mobile games all day long that are nowhere near AAA, and they use social media too. There's zero indication at all that graphics quality is the problem. People adore Minecraft and that's not exactly known for its AAA graphics.

So it most likely has to do with an advanced CSS feature, perhaps the blend modes it is showcasing.

I think the internet has other effects like amplifying niche ideas.

If you were a conspiracy nut before the internet, your local friends will set you straight and either the conspiracy theories fade from your mind or they remain stagnant.

With the internet on the other hand, you can find other likeminded people, people who will accept your conspiracy theories and share their own which you will eagerly consume, and down the rabbit hole all of you will go.

Your example sounds infuriating. First, I want items where they are supposed to be, not where I left them. But who wants the same thing all the time? If I go out to a large meal and every course tastes the same because it's all covered in the same sauce, it doesn't matter if it is my favorite sauce. I want to have variety. Similarly, when I travel, different spaces please. On the other hand, I would like to arrive at a hotel and be handed a key as I walked in and had the closets already populated with my clothes.

> The key question is: when someone else reads this code, how much do they need to "reconstruct" the context? Can they get away with not reconstructing the context? And if they need to, how fast can they do so, via appropriate naming, comments, and types?

That is indeed the key question, but the answer will have a lot to do with their experience as a developer, their knowledge of the domain, and their familiarity with the code.

I'll take poor quality abstractions any day, provided they are coupled with amazing documentation, even if in the form of well written comments, that describe the reasoning behind them.

It’s not up to me to know what you should spend your money on. However, your statistic makes no sense. Objectively speaking, many NFTs being minted are technical in nature, such as concentrated liquidity on AMMs; it’s nonsensical to compare this use case to beanie babies. That’s just one example. There are also private communities on social media which are gated and can only be accessed by verifying NFT ownership. Not saying you should care, but there is organic demand for access to those communities and you’re deluding yourself if you think their members are all imbeciles who believed that JPGs were actually being stored on the blockchain, or whatever. There are also examples of video games which use NFTs as interoperable assets.

You probably have a very specific image of NFTs that was fed to you by crypto opponents and which is incomplete and naive. That doesn’t mean that I think you missed out on anything. That’s subjective
