I do use Google in combination with GPT4 and give tips to it, to help. But it cut down my Google searches by a huge factor.

About in 5 years, imagine all of us, using Chatgpt in that time...along with all the enterprise integrations of it directly into workflow of companies through JIRA etc. (if not chatgpt, closed models could be trained in that time)

AI could even learn corporate politics from all the Slack, Jira etc. conversations. If this hype survives 5 years, and we keep putting data into it, it will only get more powerful from here on.

It's beyond "mess" well into "fiasco" and frankly I'm astounded people think there's a more important issue facing the language right now. Look, for an example of a high-prestige project, at Spleeter, which spends multiple pages of its wiki describing how to install it with Conda and then summarizes "Note: as of 2021 we no longer recommend using Conda to install Spleeter" and nothing else.
> I am not sure were you are reading that "timber frame house can last hundreds of years" but I don't believe that is correct, most timber frame houses have an estimated 30 year life span. A stone/brick house can last thousands of years.

I grew up in a four family timber house built in the 1960's. It's still standing. As are all the houses on that road which were all built at the same time. We moved to a timber house built around 1910. It's still standing - I walked past it just last year. My grandparents lived in a development of all wooden houses built in the 1950's. They're all standing.

Where did you get this notion they have a life span of 30 years? Norway has plenty of wooden houses that have stood for a 100+ years, and a huge bulk of post-war construction from the 50's and 60's in wood.

On the more extreme end, there are a number of stave churches in wood dating back to the 1200's. Of course they're the outlies that survived, and have certainly required maintenance.

EDIT:
Here's a list of stave churches in Norway, and construction years. Some of these have been rebuilt during that time, but even those that have typically have a lifetime of each iteration measured in centuries, with a few exceptions:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stave_churches_in_Norw...

As a fun curiosity, here's Vang stave church, "moved" from Norway to Poland in 1842, originally built in the 1200's. "Moved" because most of the material ended up being discarded because the builders handling the re-erection didn't quite know how and found it easier to replace most of it. So the current iteration is really "only ~180 years old, and might have been moved and rebuilt once before, but in any case each iteration survived rather a bit longer than 30 years:

One guess, dealerships are local and have a much stronger interest to support local candidates as opposed to auto manufacturers who have a national or global presence. Dealerships are also far greater in number, hundreds if not thousands in every state.

It may also not be such a big deal for most automakers like Ford, which have historically always sold through dealerships. It would likely cost more than a few million in lobbying to undermine these laws, and multiply that by 50 states, it may be a battle not worth fighting. Unlike Tesla, which has always sold direct-to-consumer, and has notably never paid for advertising, direct-to-consumer is very much their business model, so they have a much stronger interest in maintaining the status quo.

> Do you think Elon Musk turned into a hardcore Republican just for the political favors?

I think people with enough money to have major political influence play “teammates” with any party who gives them what they want.

Striking down the McCain-Feingold act was a major blow to American politics. Quid pro quo is only illegal if bribery can be proven, so it effectively has no teeth even though we can all witness the corruption in plain sight.

There’s hardly any serious politicians to vote for at the national stage, because winning is the only priority and corruption is how you win. McConnell stated this plainly when he went after the McCain-Feingold act.

"We do it because we'd like to win. We'd like to win. There's nothing inherently wrong with wanting to win," McConnell says.[1]

But keep smoking and drinking alcohol. Nothing to see here.
>Ditto cannabis and opium poppies for example, arguably a million times more naturally manifesting than a distillation process.

Yes, but historically, alcoholic societies thrived and developed much better than stoner societies.
> People cannot understand this mixed message. If drugs are bad and shouldn’t be consumed, why is there an official channel for “safely” consuming them?

Most people do seem to manage understanding such a mixed message with alcohol. They know it's bad for them, they consume it anyway in moderation, and they don't get addicted. That's the most common pattern.

I don't disagree with your core message: the more people drinking more alcohol, the worse off for society in general. We should very much wish to discourage it. But is prohibition the proper way to do that?
It happened to my buddy as well, but it turned out that they had the wrong apartment (same number, except the first one that indicated the floor). But that didn't stop them from charging him for possessing a few joints worth of weed. And as a bonus, he had to pay for the damage to the door frame.

I use metaphors like this when talking about programming: Any system of systems complex enough can easily be anthropomorphized...

But they both come back to basics: What is the overall model of how it should work? What are the symptoms? What do we know about the possible underlying causes of those symptoms? How do we design a test to see if the hypothesis is right? When we run the test, do we get confirmation, denial, or something else entirely? Did the test properly test the right thing?

And so on...

And at some point, is it worth fixing?

Occasionally matching Option or Result is actually the most readable way to express some logic. But it's definitely not the first thing you should reach for.

When I first started using Rust I did make the mistake of matching Option and Result everywhere and when I learned better I did cut out quite a bit of verbosity and unnecessary nesting by going back and refactoring those in code I had written. But that doesn't mean you should never use match with them. I thought I should share this experience for anyone new to the language reading this.
I appreciate the author's efforts and amount of time that went into this. But, IMHO, there are some things that are just plain bad advice:

e.g. https://www.lurklurk.org/effective-rust/panic.html

"Another sensible use of panic!, even in library code, is in situations where it's very rare to encounter errors, and you don't want users to have to litter their code with .unwrap() calls."

The litmus test for panic! vs. Result<T,E> is not rarity of occurrence, it's whether the condition represents a programming bug or a recoverable error. A good treatise on this topic here: https://joeduffyblog.com/2016/02/07/the-error-model/#bugs-ar...

The best evidence suggests there will be no cancers related to Fukushima due to both the low levels of exposure and the long time horizons of the relevant cancers. The population effected will in all likelihood die of other causes before the cancer would occur.

Chernobyl is obviously harder to parse because of confounding lifestyle issues and poverty in the region, and now the war. But I’m not sure a badly designed and run soviet RBMK should be the basis for western nuclear policy anyway.

> Society should discuss if recommendation algorithms and targeted advertisement must be regulated. It is known that people have more probability of sharing content that shocks them more.

We can have that discussion now: “No.”

To the extent that you want to apply any law, it’s to content, not the recommendation algorithm: copyright infringing stuff[1], pornography, snuff films, and other already illegal stuff. I don’t like people like say, Tucker Carlson, their whole schtick is making themselves viral by making a very shocking mountain out of a mole hill and riling people up, but the government also has no place passing legislation against or “regulating” that.

[1]: I’m setting aside my own issues with extant copyright laws for the sake of a more productive discussion on the proposed topic, but I’m not entirely happy with them either.

The same is said about everything, although we recognize that the concentration of capital enabled by giving certain actors in the economy an unequal advantage is more efficient for the economy as a whole than it is for everyone to be equal.

But dealerships run contrary to that. They see distribution of capital away from the OEMs in an equalizing way. This is recognized and understood by lawmakers, which is why the Teslas of the world are still free to do as they please. The question is really: What's special about GM, Ford, etc.?
the trick to wrenching on your own stuff (including home maintenance) is to take your time and never rush anything. read the directions and watch the youtube video 10x before you start. just assume it's going to take hours and hours. go to the auto parts store or amazon as many times as is needed to get it done right. get the right tools, even the cheap version will save you tons of aggravation and frustration.

a lot of younger folks are impatient (past me included) and get suboptimal results for a lot of time spent, which puts them off of doing work themselves. the irony is of course that younger folks have all the time and none of the money. they are also the ones complaining the most about how expensive home/auto/whatever services are.

this will also teach you the limits of what you actually can and can't do, so that when you do spend money on a pro it's money well spent. they also prefer to do the more complex jobs (less customer overhead, setup and cleanup time eating into margins) so it's win-win. as someone above said, they're far more efficient at the actual work but you can't make a lift go faster or shortcut any consumables used.
I get what your saying here, but its again the comparison with Github and extremely large sites thats the problem. Most of us dont run google/fb/github scale sites and the backup will probably fit on an external HDD and in some cases would be even downloadable over S3 in an hour.

Like I said, it probably would take me about a week unassisted, mostly due to a fair amount of reading and experimentation.

On the other hand, he does have some association with Oxford, which is selling a "course" on how to apply his methods of project estimation.

I wouldn't waste my money on the course, but I think the method of "look at similar projects, and take the average" is a much better algorithm than the bottom-up Gantt chart that everyone does. Shit happens, no one thinks it'll happen to them but it does, and the historical data includes all the Black Swan events that no one saw coming.

The difference is in the design of the game. A computer game that has too much of the gameplay assigned to randomness will get boring quickly, whereas a board/card game can be unfair and unbalanced as part of the fun is the players' reactions. An example would be the Fluxx card game which dramatically changes the rules as play continues which makes strategising almost useless.

tl;dr is that we believe that using general purpose programming languages for IaC is a step in the wrong direction. To enable more users to manage their infrastructure there should be many compatible ways to make changes. HCL is great because it is limited and is pretty easy for humans and computers to read and write. With that, we can build GUIs so more people can manage their infra without losing all the benefits of IaC.
