E.g. a number of years ago now someone in Glibc development thought it would be fine to change the behavior of memcpy for overlapping objects.

Nobody does that, right? It's undefined behavior.

Downstream distros broke; it had to be backpedaled out.
In the UK for the vegetables I buy, I have not observed this. They are cheaper loose. (One exception is apples which sometimes are priced per apple, than weight, for the lunch crowd).

It's helpful that here the price per weight is given on the shelf ticket for both loose and prepackaged items making it easier to compare.

People seem to spend more for packaging and convenience.
The fertility of nearly all nations has slowed beyond replacement. Your concern would be valid if we were on pace to feed a quadrillion people but we aren’t.
Ha I do miss the whole "mix tapes" thing but my god the excitement and anticipation I had when CDs and CD players came along, to be able to play Track 6 by just... pressing the "6" button. Or a tap or two with the remote: "next"!

No more rewinding/forwarding, remember counter numbers for tracks (0 -> 999).

Just an amazing step up in UI but looking back "you had to be there" :-)

Now though I just have about 600 CDs gathering dust on shelves, each one with memories from a time and place through the 80s, 90s and 00s, it's quite sad.
If a Muslim prays 5 times a day, fasts in Ramadan, has a beard, wears a hijab. Practices Islam according to the Qur'an and the teachings of the Prophet, are they a Whabbi?

It has become a derogatory term to describe practicing Muslims and the "good" Muslims are the ones who are liberal in their views and follow western values. Otherwise they are so called "conservative", "Whabi, "hardliner".

Muslims do not know who this person is. He is a footnote in history and people do not learn/practice Islam from his books. They do it through the Qur'an and the authentic teachings and actions of the prophet which is the authoritative source on Islam.

This is my frustration. A boogeyman word to describe normal Muslims when they practice Islam as it was practiced by the prophet 1400 years ago.
Hmm, is population decline inevitable? With sufficiently large time scale. If it is, would it be better for species to exist longer time or peak at larger numbers. Or maybe some per specime x time total?

I would argue peaking hard and crashing hard by overshooting is worse than peaking slower and then steady very long decline.
Perhaps you can get some of the advantages that you cite as missing by using an embedded LISP or Scheme implemented in Rust, so you can piggy-back on Rust's nice ecosystem and still have a dynamic "LISP sub-system". For instance:

Do you already own all of the music you are going to listen to for your life?

My own music tastes change over time. I don't listen to the same things I listened to 25 years ago - at least, not often. I want new music from time to time, especially if I'm walking places often.

That's the thing with streaming. I'm OK with paying an amount that is less than a CD was 25 years ago just to have a bunch of music at my disposal. A bunch of new-to-me music from various genres and from various places in the world. It isn't like I'm going to purchase physical media any time soon.

Is the service forever? Nope, probably not, but that's an issue for later me.
The point is that it's a comparison that holds only in a tiny part of the world, which means to comparison is meaningless.
It can be ski tour, climb, and probably many more activities. After almost every climb with my buddy we go to some mcdonalds - in general I think very little of the company, but being tired from hard workout makes even junk food taste great. They have these small Heineken cans, I wouldn't normally drink that stuff even if it was for free, but after a good climb or whatever, its the best beer in the world.
I don’t think you need to worry. Beck was literally writing down all his thoughts down for many months and analyzing them and that way he came up with the idea of CBT in the first place.

> I must confess, i never read the original book/paper, just about it from various sources. I was under the impression that in "proper" TDD you always try and write the test first; so as not to taint your tests with un-necessary implementation details

It's well worth reading, very short (and pretty funny also).

But yeah, the approach he suggests is to write the minimal failing test, then make it pass, then repeat. Red, green, refactor is the short form of his approach.

But your misconception appears to be incredibly common, I've heard it from so many people over the years. No idea where it came from, but it's nonsense (IMO, obviously).

I’m not using Expo but I do use Capacitor+Quasar to build cross platform apps to great success. I use it for my job and for my side business. Without it I doubt I could run my side business because I just don’t have the time as just 1 person to maintain 3 codebases.

I’ve never used Expo, React Native, or Flutter so can’t speak to those but I’m pretty happy with my setup. Yes I have to put a tiny bit of logic behind checks for if I’m on the web or if I’m in an app but it works surprisingly well overall IMHO.

And yet income has stagnated [0], income inequality[1] has let wealth coalesce into the hands of a few oligarchs[2] and those rich have the lowest tax rates in about 80 years[3]. Which is not surprising, because they enjoy almost excursively the politicians' attention[4].

Either is acceptable as used in the title. English does have a lot of synonyms. There are circumstances where "ready" is the wrong verb to use but "prepare" is not, so I think your English class having you learn "prepare" is the correct choice.

Quasar+Vue (uses Capacitor as well) has worked very well for me. I used Ionic with Angular years ago and I know they support Vue now but their support wasn’t great last I looked (it’s been years, this might have changed). Quasar is Vue-only and benefits from that focus.

Same happens with ratings. You can have the same app, one paid and one free, the free one will be rated lower because of perception.

If a person pays for a thing they are more invested in making it something worthwhile and thus less attacks.

If something is free and any issue, it suddenly is horrible because they never associated value with it from the beginning.

It is a psychological thing and plays into many parts of the market.

The reality is that yes, cassettes really were responsible for a substantial downturn in music revenue in the late 70s and early 80s:

https://i.insider.com/4d5ea2acccd1d54e7c030000

Then cassettes got replaced with CDs which (initially) were read only, which again saved the market from piracy ... until online piracy with Napster and MP3 players completely crushed the music market, but far worse than cassettes.

Even 20 years later, the market still hasn't recovered to the level of peak CD revenue, despite the global economy growing substantially:

Piracy may since have receded, but only due to Spotify / Apple Music dumping pricing.

Isn’t that last sentence sort of a reason to prefer real-time analytics? If you can make development a fast paced game, no doubt you’ll keep your team more productive and engaged. Granted, it needs to be engineered in a way to ensure that productivity is aimed correctly (“how we decide which things we do”) as you point out in your great article.
If your freelance practice isn't effected at all, you didn't make a wrong decision.

I think LinkedIn has changed quite a bit the last couple of years, especially since covid hit.

I actually got (potential) clients with linkedin but I post regularly and always try to create some value in my posts. At the moment, it's my main marketing channel. This isn't ideal in the long run because it makes me highly dependent on the platform.

Regarding the feed, it just takes work to keep your feed clean. I only follow people who are actually related to my work or engage regularly with my content. People who post work anniversaries, selfies, and other junk will be removed after one or two occasions.

How do you get clients for your freelancing if I may ask?
That’s a different matter. What I meant is your blog is an extension of your personality.

You can’t discriminate based on sex or race, you can based on personality.
Tobacco also.
Even discounting finding his opinions objectionable (which, in my opinion, any reasonable person would), I'd pass on someone who posts this kind of content purely because they're a ticking time bomb. I don't want them to piss off a big client or explode because of a work disagreement while they're packing heat. I wouldn't want to hire them knowing that I might have to fear for my life even a little if I need to fire them one day.

I mean I have some pretty fringe beliefs too (mainly on the strongly anti-capitalist, progressive side of things). I'm not stupid enough to post those ideas publicly because they're far more likely to hurt my chances of employment than to help them.

Sounds darker when you have taken the second half away: "when you can avoid it."

There are two arms to it inth ecase of hosting:

1. Not putting your eggs in one basket: have a tested backup/DR plan so if a host goes bad you can move easily.

2. Always remember that they have a bottom line, and it is more important to them than your bottom line. Any claim otherwise should be viewed with suspicion. Also if you are on a free (or just very cheap) tier you will be a lot less important than customers on higher tiers.
You can unfollow people and/or companies without removing the connection. I go through people I follow about once every 6 to 8 weeks and remove everyone who isn't contributing much to my feed or even worse, only contributes bullshit.

If someone appears in my feed with bullshit posts several times in a short time, I'll just get rid of them. I want my feed to be cleanish and only see relevant things. That's helps tremendously to engage easily.

As long as it only affects you, I think you should do whatever you want. But you are conflating "society" with "individual" here.

If a lot of people smoke, then a lot of them develop respiratory (and other) problems. So a lot more people need treatment, which could have gone to other patients. At that point it is no longer an individial situation which affects only you, it's a societal problem. Societies which don't address their problems eventually fade out.

Speaking directly about the title, it is true. Once you start something, it is the most important thing. It can be dropped at any moment if desired. However, the optimal path is towards completion. This means that you are unable to do something else. Thereby planning to do nothing else. You have to make sure you can focus on your task to completion. Otherwise, you will end up having to alternate tasks. Surprisingly, we alternate tasks constantly. Mainly, it is because of boredom, time constraints, or lack of capability(knowledge, power, resources, etc).
Mh I don't think it's quite as standard. YC advises against that, too.

I do have private code that I'm working on in my freetime that is not public and most likely never will be.

Most of it is an incomplete mess, intentionally over/under engineered or created to learn a new tech / development philosophy. It served it's purpose and is not going to get "finished".

Other projects are personal and are tailored to my specific needs making liberal use of hardcoded assumptions.

None of it is a good representation of my professional work 99% of which is not open sourced.
Even before cassette tapes become available people in USSR recorded and copied music at home using reel-to-reel tapes. LP vinyl record was the most produced media back then but it was state controlled - even is some music was not outright censored it was not published in large enough numbers if state official though massed should not listen a particular music genre or a record.

I wonder of people outside soviet block copied musing at home using reel-to-reel tapes (in non negligible numbers)?
Audio tapes were crap for most people.

There was good tape certainly -- reel to reel, metal tapes, etc. But most people used the cheap normal tape, and probably C120 which had a tendency to get tangled in the mechanism.

Modern dirt cheap 44.1 KHz/16 bit audio is far superior to anything you could get in the tape era, except maybe a reel to reel tape set to the high quality speed.

And even the best tape still had some wow and flutter because it's ultimately a mechanical device with imperfect speed control.
Yea, tree maps needlessly occupy the second dimension whereas just one is sufficient for displaying the main metric.
I believe it still uses EAS for certificates by default. You can use "prebuild" to get the ios / android directories. Alternatively start a React Native app and install their modules separately. These options still work well but require a lot more setup.
Please explain why treating a rich man like a common prisoner is torture.

If it was torture, why Congress was so interested in the plight of this one man - enough to send General Washington to investigate the report - and not interested in the plight of everyone else in the prison in the same condition?

Why is it okay to torture common people, but not rich "honorable" people?
This is somewhat glossing over the fact that you can only do this mechanical translation if you have access to the whole program, and the two approaches have drastically different implications for modularity.

With the "data"/sum types approach, new analyses or transformations on the program can be added in another module, but new nodes can't be.

With the "codata"/protocol approach, new analyses can't be added (you are limited to those encoded in the protocol), but new nodes can easily be added in a separate module where you implement the protocol for them.
"Need" is a binary concept, that's not how project planning and prioritization work in the real world. There are a lot of things that are not "needed" that are beneficial, and a lot of things that are beneficial that you end up not having resources to implement. So then it is all about tradeoffs.

Software projects can derive massive economies of scale from a large install base, since there is no marginal cost. A larger install base lets you amortize the fixed cost over more users. The more users you have, the more useful but not strictly need optimisations and features you can justify implementing.

I hope this doesn't sound like 'sucking up' because it's certainly not intended to be that, but I have been continually impressed at how good a moderator dang is. And more than moderation, he also 'curates' the site well, often adding links to when the subject or even the same article has been discussed before, etc.

But moderation of a popular forum is a Sisyphean task, and worse, it seems that gravity increases over time in this form of the task, making rolling the ball up the hill increasingly hard and not just endless. That sounds bleak but I think the solution is that eventually all forums must be abandoned, however good they once were, and new places found. I expect this to happen with HN eventually too, even though it's had a pretty good run so far.
As a long time Alpine user (bare metal, laptop, pi, servers) I can praise the low memory footprint, simple and consistent configuration and up-to-date packages.

Alpine runs great on older hardware. Things that bugged me over the years are the lack of armv5 support (understandably an architecture that is dying) and that their native firewall awall is somewhat limited. Despite being a pleasure to use awall with iptables, it is not capable of nftables exclusive features (eg cake) as far as I understand, yet.

The lack of obscure packages in Alpines repositories is not really an issue in my scenario. Or compiling against musl. Neither is the mentioned DNS over TCP issue.

Using wlroots and sway is a breeze on Alpine and having moved from gentoo > arch > alpine over the years, I am glad Alpine exists. Second choice for me is Void Linux musl and their optional armv5 support via xbps-src.

I hope Alpine will stick around and is not only known to be slim in docker containers.
