So, aggressive, accusative, appealing to authority, likely cherry picking and (it seems) misunderstanding those same authorities, all for the purpose of brow-beating strangers. I appreciate that the author of the linked article wrote a reasonable response to this, my own would have been three words starting with "go" and ending in "yourself".
I'm not working off of an existing framework, just my own experience and battle scars.

I think the media has once again assigned a term their specific definition and created a meme out of it. I guess it makes sense if you have no preconceived notions of what a "heat pump" is. But yes, to anybody that knows an air conditioner is a type of heat pump, these articles read akin to "Personal cars create too many emissions. Companies have come up with an innovative way to reduce this problem: vehicles". (with the reader in the memestream of taking the generic term "vehicles" to mean only electric vehicles)

Trying to parse the mumbo jumbo, I think these articles are trying to point out and encourage the trend of designing new installations of cooling systems around cooling and heating, with a reversing valve and whatnot. Because it no longer makes sense to lean on a separate heating system that burns fossil fuels. But gosh I wish they would just come out and say this directly instead of beating around the bush as if "heat pumps" are some magical new invention.
what?

do you really not see a difference between a place where the event is much more likely to happen for a much longer % of the time than another place where the same event is much less likely to occur?
Time to start calling it Life Support Systems
> in GUI programming where you simply can't have blocking code a lot of the time,

This can be transparently solved by the GUI library. The main thread does a loop and polls events from a queue. Those events are generated by a gui on another thread. It can be designed so gui itself can be manipulated on the mainpulated on the main thread, and the event handling and rendering is double buffered, or synchronized for you.

> easier to reason about

The style of code OP is describing looks like `if then else`. You can reason about the state of the system using traditional programming logic.

Matanuska Telecom Association | DevOps Engineer | Full-Time | Alaska (UTC-9): REMOTE

MTA is a rural Alaskan coop ISP. The software team consists of 8 devs who support a relatively complex business enterprise environment. This role pertains to the platform/delivery portion of the workload, including the configuration and support of Chef, Terraform, Nomad, Concourse, Consul, Vault, Sensu, and Traefik.

As the hiring manager I'll be perfectly clear about a few things:

- This is a 70 year old enterprise telecom, not a high speed startup

- Our salary range can't compete with pure software startups; I am not allowed to disclose it here unfortunately

- This job may interest you if you want great benefits and long-term stability

- We have an existing environment; the role is designed to support, improve, and make adjustments to it over time

It is increasingly frustrating but in my opinion Firefox is the only usable browser. The ads and other nonsense, despite being pushed out often, are still user controllable and once configured, I have always had my settings honored. You cannot say the same about Edge and if app manifest v3 actually does what people say does, Chrome will essentially be undergoing the same cut off of extension capabilities that Firefox Quantum did years ago but even worst.
You could do that if you go to the library instead of the newsstand. So really the solution to balkanized streaming isn’t to pirate, but to patronize libraries.

(One wonders if the the first sale doctrine which allows public libraries to check out e-books can also be applied to streaming media- perhaps Apple or Amazon can cut a deal with libraries for them to buy up episodes of shows which then can be borrowed by cardholders!)
Another way to look at it is if a thing reproduced a data subjectively resembling originals and then you used it anyhow, then its non-transformative use, and methods used is just extra details.
yes, if your PL supports multiline regex with end of line comments[1].

BTW: that's what I'm doing when programming in kdb+/q (APL family language), even though it's less idiomatic. But I prefer readability and maintainability over succinctness.

It is due to a problem space that’s poorly defined, but that’s not always indicative of ticket padding or a useless product.

I’ve dealt many times with real people, who present me with a real problem, but no single concrete solution.

If the PM doesn’t take the proper time to understand the problem (and try to find the real, underlying problem that often exists) — Or rushes into a solution without proper evaluation — Or just generally wants to quickly churn user asks into tickets — then the result is the same.

I generally agree that, in my experience, a good senior software engineer is well suited to teasing out “the real problem” and getting to a properly detailed solution even without a PM.

However, that doesn’t mean I don’t think there’s potential value in a PM that can set a broader vision of the product and help prioritize tasks. But the good ones do so by working with and deferring often to his or her software dev team, and NOT by working “top down”.

fzf looks awesome, thanks for sharing. Didn't know about it. Do you have an example on how you can do this with vim?
> It’s also tiny and not space efficient.

That's besides the point - it's just an example, and, as far as I know still used. You can visit Europe, think Edinburgh or something, and see lots of really good looking buildings that are used for modern day purposes quite well without needing to be torn down and converted into some other bland architecture.

> You would have to scale up a building like that to monstrous level to fit 10000+ employees inside and I’m sure it wouldn’t look good or be very conformable to work in.

Or maybe 10,000+ people shouldn't work inside of the same building? Idk. But I see no reason a building can't be, say, "modern" on the inside and look good on the outside. I'm also unsure why we seem to need to solve for the specific use case of "10,000+ people" and use that as the guideline for architectural decisions - don't we just use big box skyscrapers for that? Though even some of those (older ones) look quite nice. I think I'm more on the side of buy-once cry-once here.

> but in general sacrificing function for form is not exactly the best approach when we’re talking about buildings constructed using public funds.

I think this is one of the really confusing points here. Boston City Hall did sacrifice function for form. It's not just how the building looks on the outside but how it functions in its built environment. For Boston City Hall the answer is "not really". For Notre Dame even solely as a tourist attraction it is more functional on a square foot basis than Boston City Hall is. Granted, it's hard to directly compare both of these buildings so I'd be open to other discussions about that.

I'm also not sure why you are asserting that there is a trade off we need to make. Ugly buildings get torn down. Probably cost more over the long run just for that. Regarding public funds, we should take pride in our country and our civilization. One of the most visible ways to do that is through architecture and by building places that people care about. You can see this reflected in tech offices which focus on "good design".

> To be fair the purpose of the Notre Dame Cathedral no longer exists

Sure that's fair though it certainly got a hell of a good run in the original purpose. But that it eventually "retired" to a tourist attraction speaks to the power of the architecture. Nobody in the world is visiting Boston to take pictures in front of Boston City Hall. It'll "retire" to the demolition list.

Going back to your comment about money, I bet Notre Dame has made a lot more money for Paris than Boston City Hall has made for Boston. (Acknowledging that these are hard to compare and open to comparing different buildings)
Humans evolved to work in tribe as a unit. They hunted and raised families in tribes. Then agricultural and industrial revolution happened in last few 100 years changing the game. We discovered fossil fuels, heat engines, electromagnetic forces and amplified the shit out of resources found in nature. Quite amazing.

However we are really bad at coordinating at a global scale on what to do about problems we're causing now that will hit generations later. Worse if those problems are negative feedback problems that self-amplify with time.

However what does make me sad is how we're so divided on whether this is even a problem. Like a frog being slowly cooked.

I'm optimistic since we got a handle on banning CFC gasses, getting a handle of tabacco causing cancer, or lead additives causing toxicity.

Rise of solar and how fast it came down in price has also been amazing to witness. Although still <10% of global energy supply.

Sometimes I do wonder if the evidence of lack of any intelligent life out in the universe is because any species that naturally evolves in intelligence ends up eventually destroying itself due to not being able to solve for long term negative feedback loops.
Well, yes sensationalised news, full of emotional baggage is bad for mental wellbeing. However, I think completely opting out of news is a rather extreme choice. Having some information what is happening in your country, and in the world is good to feel a level of connectedness to it. Then there are practical reasons. Not knowing the news you might miss a major tax change, or an opportunity for some state benefit you might be entitled to (a low interest loan for first homeowners, a subsidy for an electric car or a PV setup). Then there are elections. How is one supposed to cast an informed vote without following the news? (this only applies to places where new parties pop up and dissapear every voting cycle, in places with more static selection of political forces this is less of a concern).
I get your point, but isn't this kind of a no true scotsman thing? Social media has a lot of people thinking that they are activists because they have a hashtag in their twitter name or post black squares on instagram. What would you call those people? They call themselves activists, or they at least call those activities activism.

If I had written the comment you replied to, I would have put the word in quotes. Some people use the term "slacktivist", but I think terms like that are silly. And to be clear, I'm with you - when I think of an activist, I think of someone collecting signatures door-to-door, or organizing an irl event, etc. I think of someone actually trying to accomplish something rather than just signaling virtue. But I also think that if enough people use a word a certain way, that's what the word means, and a lot of people seem to think that "just lecturing people" counts as activism.
Old homes tend to not have any insulation. Parts of my house have modern insulation due to renovations/additions but other parts not so much. I wouldn't swap out the original windows and glass on the facade, for instance. And insulating it would probably be a destructive action as you need proper vapor barriers for insulation to not rot your home.

What Ramanujan's potential could have been is a different question than whether Einstein's equals are dying undiscovered in cotton fields.

By definition, we know of zero examples of geniuses who were never discovered due to poverty, which makes it hard to extrapolate the rate at which this happens. But we do have examples of geniuses who grew up poor but were discovered nonetheless, which gives us hope that exceptional people in similar situations will be discovered. Especially today with global primary school enrollment rates close to 90% [1], and secondary school rates around 76%.

Swamp coolers are massively underutilized as well. The vast majority of residential cooling in all but the most humid climates can be done with nothing but a fan and some cold water; no compressed gases necessary.
> Don't follow the news. Don't learn about environmental problems. Don't get angry at local businesses when they do bad things. Don't feel bad when a racist cop does something horrible. Don't vote. Don't enlist. Just passively consume and spend. Let other people keep the world from falling apart around you. Other people will guard the door as you watch cat videos.

Or you could follow the news. And then get angry at the wrong businessmen. And get mad about people building a mosque in another state. And vote for the candidate who gets the most airtime/ads instead of the one who actually cares about you. And enlist so you can kill innocent people.

Pro tip: Highlighting others' ignorance is not wise. I don't know you, but chances are high I can list serious problems/issues in the world that you know little to nothing about. Certainly more important than the malfeasance of some random business. Yes, there are ignorant people out there. The difference between them and a person who follows the news is that the latter is merely a little less ignorant.

If taxes paid for a free email box would you use it?

I can think of a specific use-case where this could make sense if done right. If I had a USPS managed secure email account that was documented in places such as the IRS, any federal or state medical benefits and they required client keys such as GPG/PGP for communication with the IRS, ID.me contractors, DoD / Military and other agencies then it might make sense, especially if they have extra validation steps for anything purporting to be from said agencies like deep chain validation of each transport layer and relay domain with approve-listed sending servers/domains per agency and a relationship with a large anti-fraud group that relentlessly pursues anyone trying to defraud an account holder.

I think it would make sense to have a government validated email account for interactions with the government. The physical post offices should also be able to assist anyone with their issues with said account, including validating and documenting government ID's, resetting passwords and managing GPG keys.
If your server is served by apache or ngnix, you don't have to call into PHP/other languages in order to return bash commands. You can define a route in which pages accessed are fed to a bash script and stdout gets piped back to the client.
I was asked how I would replace an large scale but inadequate logging infrastructure and I stared with "In a way that minimally disrupts everything currently in place for monitoring and alerting".

I'm not sure how well that answer played out but it's still the correct answer.
It blocks *all* (non-monitored) extensions from running on *some* websites. What it should do is block *specific* extensions from running on *all* sites. The security justification doesn't align with what they actually did.
Agreed. However, it was nice to have source code available to work around minor annoyances. I guess most folks just live with what they got.

Yes, but this is very unusual. In a web server, you have pool of threads that can respond to incoming connections. When one is blocking, another is ready to go. All the transition are handled transparently by the kernel.
I'm a bit more open minded to what "reason" or our own understanding of our own "reason" might be.

I gave GPT-4 a bunch of code that had two regex functions to parse a given custom url. I also gave it in the same prompt an example of a url of what I wanted it to parse, and asked it to explain the code and tell me the answer.

It explained the code perfectly in moments and also gave me the correct answer.

Here was it's response -> https://pastebin.com/raw/CP9iZh7S

I would use this as an interview question, asking a junior dev to "reason" through the code, explain their thinking and without running it, tell me what they might think the answer would be. If I had to give them feedback for that answer, I would have commended their ability to "reason" about the problem. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(extra: The GPT-4 response knew to not bother with the second regex because it should only run the second if the first regex had a third part match, amazing...)

all heat pumps work in one direction. You can't move cold around with any mechanism. Only heat can be moved. The difference is residential "heat pumps" just have a set of reversing valves so you can move heat from outdoors to indoors.

It's not just buzz. It's more efficient than resistive heating and modern units have better performance in cold temps. Hence the push to promote them. The downside is that you have added complexity driving up installation costs and reliability down.
