IMHO this is one of the funniest text in the history of insults.

Letter of the Zaporozhian Cossacks of Ukraine replying to the Sultan of Turkey:

O sultan, Turkish devil and damned devil’s kith and kin, secretary to Lucifer himself. What the devil kind of knight are thou, that canst not slay a hedgehog with your naked arse? The devil shits, and your army eats. Thou shalt not, thou son of a whore, make subjects of Christian sons; we have no fear of your army, by land and by sea we will battle with thee, f##k thy mother.
Thou Babylonian scullion, Macedonian wheelwright, brewer of Jerusalem, goat-fu##er of Alexandria, swineherd of Greater and Lesser Egypt, pig of Armenia, Podolian thief, catamite of Tartary, hangman of Kamyanets, and fool of all the world and underworld, an idiot before God, grandson of the Serpent, and the crick in our dick. Pig’s snout, mare’s arse, slaughterhouse cur, unchristened brow, screw thine own mother!
So the Zaporozhians declare, you lowlife. You won’t even be herding pigs for the Christians. Now we’ll conclude, for we don’t know the date and don’t own a calendar; the moon’s in the sky, the year with the Lord, the day’s the same over here as it is over there; for this kiss our arse!
Right, and it's easy to think about all the winnings when things go right - it's harder to think about increased frequency and cost of failure due to increase in complexity and number of independently moving parts.

The difference is that if you were to be held in contempt of court, your fine would probably be higher than something like 0.01% of your annual earnings.

> developing nations have really low birth rates

Did you mean to write developed, perhaps? I'm under the impression - and a quick google confirms - that the more economically developed a country is, the lower its birth rate tends to be.

(I'm sure I'm oversimplifying. I've not studied in this area, which is why I'm replying)
This, but unironically.

When a law requires data to be retained for X time, risk-averse companies interpret this as an instruction to immediately delete said data as soon as time X passes, and use automated tools to this end. Sadly, these tools tend to be ad-hoc software written and maintained by internal teams, and thus about as buggy as you'd expect.

I've worked in such places, and - in addition to all the other issues - the continuous collective loss of corporate knowledge makes life pretty miserable.
> It seems to me much more about group incentives than some nefarious lockstep plan.

Yes, probably, but isn’t this worse? Group incentives favour those that already have capital (material and political), which creates a feedback-loop increasing the rich-poor divide until… what exactly? What’s the end-state? A return to feudalism? Bloody revolution?

It just seems like there was a “once upon a time” where politics was about “this is the society we want”, and they tried to build it. Now it seems we’ve all just given up.

Meaningless! Meaningless! Let’s deconstruct society until we can argue that a future of 1% home ownership is somehow better.

Why hits to DRAM? Just use cache for speculated branches. The performance gain of the difference between the length of the speculated branch and the length of the bookkeeping is still there. There are workloads with short branches that would have a performance penalty. In those cases it would be helpful to have a flag in the instruction field to stop speculative execution.

So the article claims that the housing construction boom that ended at the second WW led to a massive stock of housing, which has since declined due to planning issues, leading to a shortage of housing and therefore a rise in prices.

This does not hold up statistically.

1939: 11.3 million dwellings in the UK, population 47.9 million people = 4.2 people per dwelling

today: 27 million dwellings in the UK, population 67.7 million people = 2.5 people per dwelling

A thought occurred: maybe there are now fewer people per household. This however does not hold up to scrutiny either. The number of UK households rose 19% in 27 years, a rate comparable to the increase in housing stock.

If anything there is more housing than ever in the UK relative to population size. If prices have risen, it's not because of a lack of housing.

> If I was a young person, this above all other things would radicalize me. Our elected leadership are captive to stupid market force arguments. I'd rather they tried and failed than sat on their hands.

I truly think it has radicalized a lot of us. My generation (millennials and younger) are one of the first ones not to slide further right politically as time goes on but remain staunchly left wing. That's culturally significant; a highly educated middle class is swinging a way they never normally do, outside of a revolutionary period (war/famine/etc). I see Socialist posters everywhere I go, and everywhere we're seeing strikes in almost every industry. There's inevitably going to be more civil unrest and eventual violence in our countries future.

It feels like we're sliding into some sort of capitalist feudalism, where the rich continue to accumulate property, and people who don't have the means already (through family, inheritance, or a very high paying career) are stuck to a life of renting, with no wealth to pass on to their children. Right now, even if I could afford a 2-3 bed house somewhere (maybe £300k, so a £30k deposit), I'd be paying £1800 a month in mortgage looking at a calculator from Barclays. That's nearing 100% of my take home after tax/student loan. It's obscene.

I work in the semiconductor industry and have done for close to 5 years now. I worked damn hard to get here. All my older colleagues (50+), who's career path I've followed pretty much 1:1, had a house, kids, and some decent savings by the time they were my age. Some were even building up a portfolio of investments. I'm years away from being anywhere close to that. I end up with barely anything left after bills/groceries/other expenses. I've just taken up a second job working three nights a week in a bar just so I can actually afford to go to do anything fun after I've maxed out my ISA so I can maybe get a house in 5 years. It's cripplingly demotivating, and if I had the time to do else but work myself out of this hole I'd probably be on the picket line too.

The meta analysis linked in the article we're discussing wouldn't really agree with you.

> Physical activity had medium effects on depression (median effect size=−0.43, IQR=−0.66 to –0.27), anxiety (median effect size=−0.42, IQR=−0.66 to –0.26) and psychological distress (effect size=−0.60, 95% CI −0.78 to –0.42), compared with usual care across all population. The largest benefits were seen in people with depression, HIV and kidney disease, in pregnant and postpartum women, and in healthy individuals. Higher intensity physical activity was associated with greater improvements in symptoms

I think comparing exercise to drinking is pretty silly and doesn't suggest a wide berth of knowledge on the topic. I'm glad to hear that therapy was the silver bullet for you, but if there's one thing that's _abundantly_ clear about mental health treatments, it's that there's no one-size-fits-all solution.
why not both?

E.g. timestamps may (slightly) differ if the updates occur in different transactions, while the revision ID is likely passed around, and is easier to correlate.

This is relatively rare though.

> In the meantime, your PHP app had 40 major security flaws, no meaningful monitoring,

How does Kubernetes, microservices and front end frameworks fix that?

They don't. In fact, as someone who works at the more modern end of these things, I'd suspect that "no meaningful monitoring" probably correlates quite well with cloud era microservices thingies.

But we can't blame the tools, that space is just younger and by nature contains more immature stuff.

I don't think the argument here is for keeping things out of version control and monitoring. It's that you can actually leave stuff alone for several years, come back and find it working just as before, when the layers underneath doesn't constantly change. That can be liberating.
Didn't we just have a hedge fund's physical records warehouse burn down, too, under such similar accident(s)?
The best way to create invoices (not just invoices) IMHO is to use an html to pdf converter. There are several API services and you can use headless chrome to do it yourself. Easy to design an invoice using a web route and simply convert it to PDF.
I don't think this was intended as "physically hitting".
The intent was "ignore what the kid is requesting, and communicate to them 'no you don't want that, it is wrong to want that'".
One way to do that would of course be to "hit", but the idea is about insisting that 'your view is right', and ignoring/not acknowledging the need the child is trying to communicate.
My point being, this can do almost as much damage, even if you are not 'hitting'.
Source: Am parent, was child.

It is hard living some problem, and then experiencing that the people who are in charge of taking care of you, consistently communicate "No, there is just something wrong with you, you don't want that/that isn't really a problem".
There are lots of different ways floating point determinism can get lost. The obvious one, as you mentioned, is the 80 bit x87 unit. Lots of 32 bit compilers will compile to doing floating point math on the x87, which is slow, but the same compiler compiling in 64 bit mode will use SSE2 instructions.

Floating point arithmetic is not associative. That is, (a+b)+c != a+(b+c) and (a*b)*c != a*(b*\c).

Multiplying by the reciprocal is not equal to dividing by the value. That is, x*(1/y) != x/y. An optimizing compiler may, when you attempt to divide by a constant, will optimize that to multiplying the reciprocal instead, that is, if you have code that divides by the constant 3 it will multiply by 0.33333333333333333, because it's a lot faster.

FMA (fused multiply-add) instructions are more precise and therefore not equal to the same calculation without FMA. That is, a*b+c != a*b+c if one compiler will output FMA instructions and the other one does not. (this will be true even in the same compiler with different flags)

Special functions are fucky. sqrt, sin, cos etc might not always give equal values. Or even in the same compiler if minor alterations to the code are made. A compiler might use one algorithm to compute sin(x), but a different algorithm if it needs to compute both sin(x) and cos(x) at the same time.

Floating point rounding mode is a thing. Sometimes a plugin changes your floating point rounding mode. Sometimes this plugin will be inserted into your runtime without your knowledge, such as an antivirus program, or malware that hijacks your browser to give "better"/"customized" shopping/search recommendations. There was a bug writeup about a crash in Chrome several years back, but I can't find it.

Basically you should assume that floating point math is non-deterministic. If you think you need deterministic floating point math, try to reformulate the problem so that you don't need deterministic floating point math. If you really* need deterministic floating point math, understand that you're signing up for a lot of pain.

I am in the exact opposite,but equally frustrating boat.

In last 5 years, I have worked at 2 Faang and a large hedge fund and everywhere they had extremely outdated stack or undocumented in-house stack or outdated undocumented in-house stack. Already derecated dependencies were pinned years ago and management won't let you modernize anything since there "no business value in it" and we need to ship a feature instead and if you still insist to refactor and modernize and something goes wrong, now you are personally responsible for the outage.
The effort you spent successfully upgrading decades old stack won't count in your promo packet.

There is just no incentive to upgrade anything beyond security fixes.

In every species female is the selector, that's how natural selection works.

Generally in a group of healthy young population with 50% sex ratio, about half of the men are selected, and they help eachother.

But in the online dating / birth control age this ratio has gone more extreme, and there's no real ,,parenting advice'' or emotional need support that can help, just accepting the new normal for everyone, and competing harder.

For the counter point, there's an "in defence of" argument made by a former New Zealand Heath Director here:

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/kahu/rob-campbell-its-sickening-h...

He takes a full population and outcomes view that includes the large private health sector.

His argument is that overall Māori and Pasifika people experience poor outcomes relative to other populations and barely feature at all in private health queues, therefore to achieve equality one arm of the health system has to cater more for Māori and Pasifika people to bring them up to parity and thus achieve equable outcomes for all in the bigger picture.

This distinction between non-religious and atheist is new to me and sounds like an Americanism. Over here in Europe if you don't believe in a god you're an atheist, simple as that.

Some people are agnostic, meaning they are religious but don't subscribe to a particular god or doctrine. However no one makes the distinction between atheism and non-religious that you're making here. It may have something to do with the fact that society in the US is so pervasively religious that the only way to escape it is to explicitly identify yourself as an atheist.

Here's a summary of the video:

Casey Muratori makes the point that we've had phenomenal growth in hardware power, but our software is not correspondingly better. Computers should be much more pleasant to use. We all know what he's talking about: laggy software, crashes, updates, driver issues, etc.

Things are no longer coded from scratch - we pile code on top of code on top of code. Features accumulate, together with complexity - and bugs.

How many lines of code does it take to read a text file, in a web browser? Across the whole stack - browser, website, OS, router - he estimates 56 million LoC.

The OS alone takes 30 million lines of code!

And yet, in the 90s, demo writers routinely produced literal operating systems on a single floppy disk. Remember Amiga demos? They 'hit the metal' because they weren't hobbled by drivers and other abstractions.

But as hardware developed, the manufacturers removed that access, forcing developers to work through abstractions. A SoC is a super powered 1980s home computer, but we can't actually reach that hardware.

And it's up to hardware people to start taking this problem seriously.

And now my comments:

Apple is one of those manufacturers.

This article hit a nerve with me, because I dumped iOS development; because of the complexity and insanity. Swift is a sprawling behemoth of a language now, hugely complex, full of gotchas. In some senses, it has to be - because it's a reflection of the hardware.

I'm not going to elaborate more. Quite simply: you can't program your iDevice, EVER, without going through Apple's prescribed programming language(s), frameworks, libraries, LLVM, and hardware drivers.

That's Apple's fault. Computing should not be like this.
A reward/benefit system is possibly better. We can examine how teaching consequences concerning the law, isn’t working sufficiently if we look at the US prison system population and the US prisoners reoffending rate. I think something like offering a tax deductible for completing a parenting program that’s specifically designed for outlining psychology negatives of not being there for the child is obvious. The money for financing the said program should be taken by a tax of adults with kids that haven’t completed the said program. I wouldn’t apply and cutoff age as well because everyone that has kids regardless of how long ago would still benefit society by completing such a program.

Large operations like this, especially those close to coast, generally have to set aside a certain percentage for rehab down the line. Normally part of mining/enviro approvals. The plan needs to be updated every 3-4 years, with updated estimates etc.

Greenbushes is miles away from having to worry about that. I’ve been tangentially involved in the mine designs for the new underground mine coming off the pit, so it’s decades away from rehab.

A few options for old pits I’ve worked on is backfilling with waste material and then capping with earth. Backfilling with treated Tailings and then capping. Or just letting it flood, but putting protections in. Generally they will be liable to manage if for a decade or so after mining is complete. Again all depends on the permit.

Biggest thing you worry about though, especially if you go underground is how to seal it off from other water structures (if required.)

Sorry for brain dump but lots of variables here!
