Ron Howard voice: in fact, props was not pre-sanitized.
> You’re not punchy

Thank you. I’m old enough to remember the internet before social media. The diversity of opinions have always existed and I appreciate that. But today it seems like we have a newfound anti-intellectualism, anti-science, anti-progress that only existed for me in stories of the Salem witch hunts or some long time before “we knew” better.

Seeing it today is upsetting.
Major, sure, but 1 agency is 1 datapoint. Seems like a stretch though say the entire industry.
I have a background in linguistics (computational) and part of what was mind blowing when my schooling approached the deep dive on some aspects of it was the sheer extent to which much of what we put into language is artificially constrained by the limits of any given language being unable to fully express an infinite range of concepts/thoughts/etc… that some things are difficult to put into words because there are no words for every single gradation of a a phenomenon (colors, with their inherent connection to gradients, come to mind). Maybe this seems trivial, I kind of had an intuitive “of course” understanding of it before deep dive work in linguistics, but that’s when it really became abundantly clear how limited we are by lexical entries.

All of that is a preamble to say that it seems like the same thing is true of mathematics. No single number system can completely encompass all of mathematical expressions. This post sort of touches on it with the varying methods of expressing something in decimal vs fractional notation. 1/3 cannot be fully expressed (well, expanded) in decimal notation but it is trivial in fractional notation. More esoteric examples exist when entering the realm of hyperreal numbers.

It is both amazing and daunting to confront these limits, which may be a product of the limitations of the human mind.(or not, really I don’t know)

And maybe I’m just rambling… I don’t have a strong background in number theory… it is all just so beautiful and humbling though.

The more I think about it, this might be a good thing for the world, and amazingly stupid on the part of Quora. Since the whole Quora shtick is to heavily gamify your experience on the site, perhaps knowing there's always going to be an ML 'summary' above your incredibly erudite reply (/s in case it wasn't obvious) will make most people realize "hey...this place actually does suck" and maybe move on to something better...a life or something.
80/20 rule. Approximations have smaller, less accurate approximates which do in many contexts. If your goal is to reach America, a crude compass and speed reasoning works. If you want to target an ICBM you need better positional accuracy.
No, I really do not like Jira. My manager great.
A lot of cache oblivious structures start with a BST laid out in a flat array, which is actually more cache friendly than a naive B tree. But not many people do that in practice, and also require keeping it balanced, so B trees are fine.

BSTs are also useful as an analytical tool because they're just B trees with B = 2, so a lot of the insight into their structure and algorithms can be extrapolated to N-ary search trees aka B trees
The name only refers to the app's features and appearance. Well before I started development, I was looking for a CSV editor for my own use and everything I tried had a 90s look and feel. I figured just because the format is ancient doesn't mean the applications for it should be.
I don’t know how anyone could argue with you. The MLS is literally just a database of house listings. In some states you can only access it if you’re a realtor, solely to keep their job secure. Making it decentralized would open up that data for everyone.

Kudos to the author for putting out a free version and for the work but the number of errors seems crazy high (I checked a couple and doesn't seem like they were fixed in the 2023-06-21 draft pdf he has put on his website), I have the 2022 book so definitely have to look into the error list.

I’ve been clipped by more cyclists coming from behind (2 this year) than I have by cars (0 ever). Yeah, the weight classes are different and being hit by a car is far more dangerous, but also far more likely to be reported.

Don’t even get me started on these completely unregulated motorized bikes zipping down the sidewalks at 30 mph. Those things need to be shitcanned till regulation is in place.
Well...they've added 'hydration breaks', which while not bad things in and of themselves, are just a slippery slope away from being repurposed as a 'commercial break'.

Nah. I hate how long it takes to load different pages. I hate the UI and how there's a bazillion non-removable fields that don't need to be filled in, but are present. I hate that you can't click on links inside Jira, but almost every real thing is actually a link, so that's unhelpful. I hate how it automagically saves changes.

And many more things.
Variable pricing is a HUGE industry in the US (and elsewhere). It's true for fees like this, and it's even more true for variable rate mortgages. Whoever owns your mortgage can add arbitrary fees to your mortgage at any time, and whats more, is they not only don't have to tell you but the companies that manage the mortgage data consider the code and data proprietary.

I personally believe there is a huge, recurring fraud going on that eclipses what e.g. Wells Fargo has been doing to its customers.
> But unlike cars, space stuff tend to swerve towards the larger bodies.

That's exactly it. And at the speeds these objects are going and the uncertainty of the observations you would have to be observing an object for a really long time to get the kind of accuracy required to pick a mitigation method that would work. And even then, assuming you could nail the point of impact of something going 2000 km / second of unknown mass in a strong gravity field: given the COVID response I have a hard time believing that the response to 'Houston, Texas is going to be obliterated on Jun 1st 2024' would be met with anything but skepticism and laughter. Right up to the moment of impact.
In the majority of my consulting engagements, the client is using Jira. I don't think the permissions for my account have ever been right on the first day.

Jira is the union of all TPS reports.

Between every PM, every manager, etc, everyone wants to track slightly different information. The ICs can't keep up - they have five people telling them to use Jira just a little bit differently. The bosses/PMs don't feel this tension, they see only their asks, their report they want to stay up to date, they wonder why its so hard. Eventually, ICs see it as confusing hassle (like TPS reports in Office Space). ICs don't know what to do, and everyone gets confused, information doesn't actually surface in Jira, real issues get dropped on the floor, etc etc

The problem isn't that any one of those bits of reporting is wrong. It's actually that the higher levels need to realize they're actually asking for different / conflicting / excessive information and need to have a stronger hand in reducing information reported so to ensure that which is there is actually accurate.

(The insane configurability of Jira and other PM tools just reflects this chaos)

> Several cities have opted to remove their protected bike lanes for exactly the same reasons.

Sure, but many cities are rapidly _expanding_ their network of protected bike lanes because of how widely they're used.

I don't have data to back this up, but I suspect that many more miles of protected bike lanes are being added each year than removed. For example, NYC [1]. For another, here's a compilation of many cities. [2]

Yes, language is an issue. Unfortunately, and ironically in the context of the OP, the majority of issues worth discussing can't even agree on what the root problem is. Instead, the conversation market gets flooded with distractions, symptoms and/or false god narratives. From there it's off to the world of binary and confirmation bias.

Rinse. Repeat.

Meanwhile, the entities responsible and accountabile for the root problem(s) get a free pass.

I follow the physical sciences (by education,) astronomy/astrophysics (by interest,) and biology and earth science as time permits. As far as I can tell, Science and Nature still get topnotch stuff.

As a Science subscriber I try hard to make time to read papers well out of my expertise. I start with the research summary article (by an independent writer) for context before going to the full paper. I figure if it made it to press there, it is worth my time to figure out what makes it important to that field.
After reading through the post a bit more, I’m inclined to believe it’s not hot air, but I think most of the innovation where is in the management layer, not the ease of application development.

Just looking at the first example tells me that there’s a million ways someone that doesn’t know what they’re doing can mess this up.

If the author of the platform implements some service on their own platform it’s always going to seem simple.
Even that could be pretty bad if it turns out the object has lower Albedo than estimated. The difference between 500 meters and 1000 meters isn't all that big in terms of astronomical observations of a fast moving object and the composition is also quite uncertain and could add another factor of three or so to the potential impact. It could be very bad everywhere.
Given that MLS services’ current existence is less about the technical innovation of disseminating market information with a shared database of listings, and more about aggressively protecting the status quo of the real estate industry by maintaining information asymmetry between brokers and market participants…I am inclined to react in the style of Jeremy Clarkson: “Oh no! Anyway…”
The scrutiny from investors, legal and compliance exists because the risks are real, and they don't go away just because there isn't a Serious Business involved. Once someone operating one of these is publicly damaged, the risk will be better understood and marked up accordingly.

We have that system down here in New Zealand. However we have only two supermarket chains and a near monopoly for many consumer good and building supplies.

I didn't know Canada/Mexico mandated showing the total price, I thought Canada at least was in the same boat as the US.

Very much a fan of the EU's Consumer Rights Directive, especially where it pertains to advertised prices. Even if some things have now skirted it, like sugar-tax and pfand in certain countries.

In my country at least, any business with a VAT number buys most things VAT-free and the end consumer is charged the whole amount, for the sake of doing less paperwork. Don't know how exactly it works when something is transformed into a lower-VAT output.
In Europe, it's still common to give a small tip. In Germany, it's called "trinkgeld" (literally "drink gold"). Usually, it's just rounding up to the nearest Euro or 5 Euros.

Japan is better: there's absolutely no tipping, at all. The price you see advertised is the price you pay, and they won't even take your tip. (There are a few exceptions: some American-style cafes have been putting tipping jars at the register; very annoying.) The only caveat is the tax: that's not always counted in the price, so many restaurants show two prices, the pre-tax price and the post-tax price just below it (usually in a smaller font).

The other thing that's MUCH better about Japan vs. Europe is that water is free. In Europe, if you want any drink with your meal at all, you have to ask for it, and if you ask for water, they'll bring a fancy glass bottle of very expensive bottled water. If you ask for tap water they'll give you dirty looks. In Japan, it's more like America: water (tap water, but it's really good) is free, and usually given without asking. Some places put a giant carafe of iced water on your table, which is great during this ridiculously hot summer.

The other thing that's much better about Japan (this isn't really about restaurants, though it does apply to the food court restaurants in malls) is that public bathrooms are free. In Europe, they usually expect you to leave a tip or some kind of fee for the cleaning people. Japan is again more like America: public bathrooms are just that: open to the public, for free. The big differences are that 1) there's a washlet on most toilets, and 2) they're actually clean.

I don't hate jira or my manager. I do dislike the misapplication of jira as a tool to problems by rote, and I dislike some of the consequences my manager accepts to achieve his KPIs.

Managers and Jira have their place. It depends on context and scale of problem amongst other things.

I can imagine a tool like jira helping prevent a space shuttle disaster, and I can imagine a tool like jira not preventing it. I can imagine a manager preventing, and not preventing a doomed launch.

I can imagine a 2D grid of jria and no jira, manager and no manager and every single square can have "maybe, maybe not" inside it.
The comment uses a lot of thousand dollar words and empty phrases. Try less hard, in short.

> Duplicating debt systems with those closest to you by even calling it a loan is a way to persist a system of oppression in the places young people grow up in.

Giving money to friends and family is oppressive, is what this is saying. Which is just wild to claim. And kind of cheapens the phrase "system of oppression".

> An alternative would be to practice freely giving, especially to needs, never calling things loans or favors, and maybe include with the gifts some lighthearted & light reading material on how to culturally dismantle systems of oppression.

The first bit is fine, but the last thing is super patronizing. How would it look if your friend asked you for $500 and you gave them some woke manual on how to dismantle "systems of oppression", whatever that means?

This sounds "Hacker News"-y because there are a lot of smug programmers here who think they're borderline genius and can solve society's problems just because they read a couple philosophy books and have access to JSTOR.

Agreed, this is the kind of use case blockchain excels at. I worked on a project that attempted to do something like a distributed MLS, and we had major industry leaders on board indicating a large degree of belief that blockchain could revolutionize the industry. MLS is, after all, just a legacy federated system running on inertia.

Unfortunately, it's so difficult to get a critical mass of inventory to succeed; it requires either a massive upfront investment, or partnering with RE developers from the beginning.
> React is still a good tool for writing MPAs, if you can get your team to stick to it. But unfortunately, if you aren't careful, React has become an infectious disease and slowly eats your whole frontend, even where it's not necessary and in fact, counterproductive. Pages which initially had a component or two, slowly are completely rendered in React, and when this happens to enough pages, someone starts wondering why your site isn't an SPA.

This started happening to me this year. And all the other senior devs who know better happen to be gone from this project, so I'm alone having to convince these junior engineers (working on a very large non-JS-backend web application mostly with content pages!) that SPAs are not the ultimate solution to all. It's so frustrating.
The real reason why we can't easily replicate Twitter/Facebook/Google is because we don't have the distributed storage/caching/logging/data processing/serving/job scheduling/... infrastructures that they have built internally that are designed to provide some level of guaranteed SLAs for the desired scale, performance, reliability and flexibility, not because it is hard to replicate the application logic like posting to timelines. That's also why Threads were built by a small team rather quickly -- they already have the battle-tested infras that can scale.

Any attempt to build a simplified version of the ecosystem will face the same fundamental distributed system tradeoffs like consistency/reliability/flexibility/... For example, one of the simplifications may be mixing storage/serving/ETL workloads on the same node. And the consequence is that without certain level of performance isolation, it could impact the serving latency during expensive ETL workload.

For Rama to be adopted successfully, I think it is important to identify areas where it has the most strengths, and low LOCs might not be the only thing that matters. For example, demonstrating why it is much better/easier than setting up Kafka/Spark and a database and build a Twitter clone on top of that while providing similar/better performance/reliability/extensibility/maintainability/... is a much stronger argument.

I encouraged our IT team to try Trello (now owned by the same company, Atlassian) which sports a JIRA integration[0]. Either due to the fundamental limitations of the integration or a botched setup, it's useless. There seems to be two copies of each ticket (one JIRA, one Trello) that can be in different states. It was not just another UI for the same underlying data.

I do hate JIRA. JIRA adds all the beauty of a government bureaucracy to what should be post-it note management. It's hard to overstate how demotivating JIRA is to my work and especially to my planning. Worse, everyone in the organization has to use it.
