I can't really comment on the usability of nio as I've never directly used it. I've used many libraries and frameworks that wrapped it up into something more usable. My understanding is that the basic system is quite hard to use, and I guessed at one issue that might contribute to low adoption above (lack of lambda expressions in Java, making callback or promise based libraries tedious to use.)
Interesting. I'll take a look! Thanks!

No one spots the 'elephant in the room' in Animal Farm.

The novel is a thinly disguised morality play about aristocracy -- "humans" who own and govern 'their farms' ! -- with various types of humanity depicted as "animals".

The moral of the story is that regardless of the intelligence and abilities of the common man ("pigs"), the natural order of things is for 'Farmers' to own and run the 'Farm' and its 'Animals'.

Pigs joining Farmers actually occurred a couple of centuries earlier in England. It was called a "Corporation".

I have family friends and neighbors who subscribe to both of the state religions. None of them ever start their evangelizing by telling me what their party stands for. It is always about what they stand against. I think the religious fervor is primarily a side effect of fear of extremism they don't like, instead of the extremism that doesn't really effect them. If they can rank their cuddly extremist first then the moderates whose name they only vaguely recognize in some random order based on what they think they might have read, or some stereotype based off the name itself, then the unthinkable evil dead last, they will still serve to moderate things, just via the central limit theorem.

Edit: there will be a fortune ready for the person that has a generative model in hand to let candidates change their name to something minimally scary.

The European countries were not and are not democratic socialist countries. They're at best social democracies, and even that is an extreme stretch. They're mixed-market economies with social welfare programs.

Cold War era anti-communism did not draw distinctions between Soviet "socialism" and democratic socialism although the Soviets explicitly purged democratic socialist movements and organizations and preferred leaving Spain to the fascists rather than allowing them to come out on top.

Soviet "socialism" also isn't communism -- heck, the term "actually existing socialism" was coined to ridicule "utopian" leftists who wanted to achieve communism in Soviet-affiliated countries. Communism, a stateless society without private ownership, was always only considered the stated end goal of these countries, even when they actively took steps to prevent any progression towards that goal.

If Orwell's detractors have been right on one thing about Animal Farm it's that people on the right are too ignorant to treat it as anything other than a condemnation of all forms of socialism although he specifically wrote it to condemn the Soviet Union's corrupt bureaucracy and the exploitation perpetuated by all forms of statism, whether under the guise of fascism, Soviet "socialism" or capitalism. The actual morale is fairly straightforward: the pigs get corrupted because they try to replace the humans but the oppression stems from the system affording the humans (and pigs) their position, not their species. You can't replace one state power with another and hope this will result in the abolition of the state because the state exists to perpetuate itself.

What's Orwell's own solution, though? The whole point of Animal Farm is that the existing order was overthrown, with the best of intentions, and some unscrupulous individuals, with support from naive idealists and selfish opportunists, turned the new order into something no better than before.

Sounds to me like an argument towards an argument exactly for focusing on "public-spirited pigs" and how to get them into power, rather than how to overthrow the existing order with something you don't know will work out or revert to something worse.

It's an article putting forward an opinion, not a scientific paper. Though they do cite plenty of interesting statistics. I enjoyed reading it and it provides an alternative view to the other hypotheses for the stats, which they list.

I assume you're coming from the direction that economy first fixes the social issues. That's a valid view but I'm not sure it tackles inequality. No point in a bigger economy if only a few at the top benefit.
That doesn't follow. A galaxy is not like a star system that orbits a single massive object in a single plane. Objects orbit the center of mass of the galaxy, which is made of of an enormous mass of stars and clouds of dust and gas.

For example, the central molecular zone (CMZ) is an asymmetrical roughly spherical region, about 1600-1900 light years in diameter, that contains about 60 million solar masses of gas and dust alone, not counting the stars in that region.

That's 15 times heavier than the central black hole, or put another way, the black hole is less than 6% of its mass. By contrast, the Sun is more than 99% of the mass in the solar system - the planets are rounding errors by comparison. With the central black hole, it's the other way around.

And that CMZ gas is only about 5% of the gas in the galaxy. There's over 26,000 light years between us and the black hole, and every star and gas cloud in that enormous volume exerts a gravitational influence on us.

Zooming out a bit further, the galactic bulge is on the order of 15 billion solar masses, with a roughly spherical radius of about 6500 light years. The central black hole is less than 0.03% of that mass. If you want to imagine us and other stars in the spiral arms as orbiting a single central object, that bulge would be a better choice. But as I said, there's still another 23,000 light years between us and that bulge, filled with stars whose gravitational influence we feel.

If anything, causation is likely to work the other way around, in that larger galaxies have larger central black holes because they have denser central regions.

The questions that exist are more around how the central black hole affects galaxy formation, a sort of which came first question.
Thanks for your comment.

Indeed, smashing the catcher at home plate was common whether initiated by the catcher or the base runner. For over one hundred years, MLB has debated whether there is any place for violence at home plate between base runners and catchers, intentional or otherwise. It is a complex question that has been answered by rules and player attitudes with little consensus between rule makers, players, and spectators, which, of course, closely mirrors society at large.

I love baseball and golf and have participated in both, but only as a young player. To me, spectator sports that aren't the Tour de France, F1, or WRC are just not dense enough with action to sustain my interest, even if that action is enabled by wheels and sources of power that may not be human.

This tension between safety and freedom is a theme that has played a role for at least as long as the publication of Trevor Melia's book, "Lucifer State", more than four decades ago. I'm out-of-my-depth in classics but I'd be surprised if there weren't a much older reference to this tension in antiquity. The role of that tension in modern society most certainly divides the room whether we are talking about art, sports, or life itself.

To me its rather obvious most management (and sales) do not actually understand what work means, other than sitting in meetings the whole day talking to people. That's their job. Management wants everybody in the office to facilitate them, they don't care about what their employees need to do their jobs, let alone the personal well-being of workers.

We don't need data, just talk to employees as if they were normal adult human beings and try to understand their perspectives. Management is there to help employees do the work that actually brings value, not the other way around. In management-speak: management is waste. Companies who understand this will get all the talent, the rest will need to compensate with very high salaries to attract good developers.

In the context of the currently defined job market, then jobs certainly will go down, in the same way the job market for switch operators went down.

No. Claiming this underplays how appalling Stalin was.

This isn't a defence of Lenin, it's just that Stalin was on a different level entirely.

While we are at it, we should also add some technology that makes them non-fungible, how about a blockchain?
Glad to see these ideas being shared more broadly. I've had enough of React. I lost my last job because of it and all associated technical debt. The company I worked for (a startup) turned into a kind of Darwinian Squid Game where those employees who were able to keep adding on top of the mess of tech debt at a fast rate were promoted and those who did not were let go. It became an absolute brainf**. Also, I had lost all motivation because there was no real engineering left to do; all the work was related to debugging React-specific gotchas/issues which I hate doing.

React creates layer upon layer of unnecessary, opaque abstractions which make it harder to debug complex front ends and it encourages poor engineering practices. For example, I've seen a lot of cases of junior developers dump setInterval() calls all over the place into the code inside useEffect and not cleaning up afterwards... Causing memory leaks. But these devs can work so fast using React (to get features out in production quickly) that managers just love them and it's difficult to convey to them that this is in fact a short-term approach and it will come back to bite them in the long term. The app at that startup had such awful memory leaks that my new computer would freeze a few times a day.

I feel like the new generation of devs got used to working with these abstractions and by some measures they seem highly competent, yet it feels like they're missing some critical knowledge; like they don't understand what's happening under the hood. Sad because there's actually a lot less happening under the hood than there is happening above it! You can solve many problems while staying closer to native browser features without all this complexity.

My favorite game in high school and college, which I played twice a week, at one of the clubs in Bucharest, until 1983, when sometimes in the fall Elena Ceausescu issued an order to close all clubs and remove all mentions of bridge, from all media (we used to have weekly articles published with games analysis). The (un)funny way I found out about this was by my going with my partner to play, one night, and finding the club closed, with absolutely no trace of tables or other items we used to have, up until the session of a few days earlier. After having waited for a while, someone came by and we asked what happened, to which the answer was "There isn't and never was such a thing [bridge club] here! This is a chess club! What are you guys talking about?". Calling late in the night, from my house, the (ex)admin of the bridge club, his answer was very clear: "Don't call again, and don't mention this in public". And that was the end of bridge clubs in Romania (until after 1989). After this we resorted to "mini-clubs", at friends' houses, with up to 4-6 tables, and duplicating like in real tournaments ...
