The point that I wanted to make above is that DRY has a precise meaning and we seem to talk past each other because you use a much looser definition of DRY than I.

With that loose definition we think in terms of arbitrary similarity and duplication. And I absolutely agree with you that it's dangerous to use abstraction to patch over this perceived similarity.

Let's look at a trivial example of applying DRY correctly:

Say we have a database schema with a column representing some URI of an entity like "person/12" which encodes ":kind/:id". It's trivially obvious that this should be a computed column, which is derived from other columns that represent the "single, unambiguous, authoritative" pieces of knowledge of these values.

(It's no coincidence that DRY applies neatly to data models. The Pragmatic Programmer, which coined the term, uses data models to explain the principle as well).

Really what DRY teaches us is to have a separation between authoritative knowledge and derived knowledge. Typically we're talking about data representing information here, but it can just as well be a piece of logic that is used to validate user input that you better have in just one place (think of the fun that you would have otherwise...) and so on.

Of course we need derived knowledge all the time, but we want to treat that very differently. We use things like code generators, cache invalidation, materialized views, macros, temporal databases and so on in order to protect ourselves from having to coordinate derived knowledge in tandem with authoritative knowledge.

And it's not just IT related. Even game programmers and compiler writers like to use DRY code in order to reduce coordinating (and growing) memory allocations, because it's often faster to compute values on the fly from a cached array, than to fetch memoized values.

> I don’t know about using the word “knowledge” to represent processes with dependencies that change over time, it doesn’t seem like the best terminology for this discussion. Specifically, the word “knowledge” tends to imply a timeless static quality to the code. In reality all the of issues worth discussing here, all of the problems with DRY, and all of the benefits of DRY, relate to how code changes over time.

I fully agree with the latter statement here. Thinking of how code changes over time and the implied coordination, is like a razor that we can use to determine whether some piece of code is violating actual DRY and whether we should do something about it.
this is not true across the bank. Of course if you're really deep into depopulated rural areas then there is really a lack of basic social services. But it's not that there's only high-density cities and deserted landscapes, there are still rural areas with schools and doctors. Rural areas that are doing comparatively well, somewhat maintain their population. Also, many cities with a lot of population growth also struggle to provide those services as there are not enough doctors or teachers for all, so you might be able find comparatively better schooling in the right rural areas.

In some rural areas there's a really conservative, tight-knit mindset. A deep resentment for somebody different and a very specific world-view really dominating the area. This is not about hipster-cafes, but about some basic progress in society some parts just try to not be part of.

Rural is also more isolated and there's just strictly less to do. Fine if you want to spend most of your time inside your family circle or the same two people you grew up with. But some just can't cope with that.
Single-payer. One government agency is permitted to purchase construction of additional units, and also manage the long-term rental (pricing set at auction) of those units in a rent-to-own model, where "own" means the right to live in that unit rent-free until you die, at which point control reverts to the government agency, combined with laws that forbid owning/renting multiple residences. Add in some allowances like giving neighbors right-of-first-rent so that rich people can combine units, some carveouts like keeping short-term hotels private, but basically, yeah, single-payer.
Anti-nuclear is the anti-vax of the environmental movement.

They focus on side effects that are scary but rare and in general much less than what it is trying to prevent.

Closing nuclear power plants increases CO2. We have seen that with Germany. If after all this evidence, you are still anti-nuclear in 2023, you are anti-science.
You are both gaslighting.

As I plainly explained, right at the top, it is not theoretical. There is no point engaging people with evidence if they are so dismissive of basic facts.

But then that is also true here. Your claims about him not saying what he plainly did are just bizarre.
What the news covers is a.bad metric for deciding what is common. Commonplace things rarely make the news.
They already failed once with Swift for Tensorflow, so I am currently curious if there will be some lessons learned from that effort.

I've got a Tesla Model 3, which a) has a perfectly decent range, up near the top of the general class, and b) isn't a huge car. It's not a small car but a sensibly mid-sized car - significantly smaller than the ridiculous SUVs I weave in between.

Electric is a non-factor here; in fact, one of the fundamental things that Tesla gets right, which other manufacturers of electric vehicles studiously ignore, is aerodynamics (not all, clearly). The very worst size and shape for an electric vehicle is "huge and brick-like" as it is for all vehicles - it's much more apparent with EVs, though, where the range is so easily comparable.

(N.B. I got it before Musk went so spectacularly off the deep end, it was a motoring choice not a political/fandom one).
EKS came later and for a long time was basically barely working. Better now but still has odd things like no free tier.

The problem is that GCP for some reason just doesn't align with many corporate customer requirements (ie: support, stability, never kill anything, available resources, etc.) and an engineer friendly product (GKS) does nothing to alleviate that. It makes GCP better in an area it was already better in and doesn't at all fix the tangential reason companies actually avoid it (or rather from what I hear either migrate off of GCP eventually or use it as just a secondary cloud provider).
Which actually goes to the heart of the issue. Who cares what Google had? MySQL and Postgres existed - Amazon RDS first came out in 2009, and you could run DBs on EC2 before that.

Google famously uses lots of custom versions of infrastructure software while the rest of the world uses something else. Obviously that has served then extremely well, but the rest of the world wants stuff they are familiar with. It really took Google years to fully grasp that.
If only. Unfortunately cars are considered sacrosanct in most places, for some reason. Your own body is worth less than a car and the safety of cars is high on police priorities. If cars don't fit down a road they'll just destroy the foliage or verge and we'll pay to widen the road.
Should it be a criminal offense to call someone a useless layabout who will never amount to anything and should have been aborted?

I worry that we've started to use the ponderous blunt government legal system more and more widely for things that used to be resolved via society and community censure. The law should be restricted to the most serious and large scale community disrupting acts, not for policing every bit of cheating, insults and lying. It's very unsuited for the latter.
> How many residential appliances benefit from three phase, and is the benefit outweighed by the additional cost of more copper for the additional wires?

due to the higher voltage in europe, conductors tend to be quite a bit thinner than in the US, to carry the same amount of energy. That being said, our electrical installations tend to be much beefier than most US residential, so a lot of copper is used. in Denmark for example standard for houses is to be fused at the roadside box for 3x~30A
> nobody has any obligation to deliver anything they know will cause someone harm. That is pretty much by definition the violation of an ethical standard

1. I think the postal service does. Can you find me guidelines to the contrary?

2. Most connections to the IP block are not doing harm. This is more like refusing to deliver any mail to a mafia boss, and maybe also the entire neighborhood.
> This is a very harsh take for something that is legal and widespread everywhere across the world (at least Western world).

No, he is absolutely right. 99% of all people do not need a bigger car, they need better driving skills. But hey, its capitalism so of course we solve our issues with money
I don't want to buy a house. I want to rent from a landlord. Why do you people always want to force me to buy a damn house?

I think an interesting question on this topic is “which is worse for you, sugar or aspartame?”

So would it be healthier to drink three cans or Coke per day or three cans of Diet Coke?

As far as I can see (from all the research), ingesting sugar seems worse than ingesting artificial sweeteners with regards to long term health outcomes.
You are right, they didn't. The reason I said that was because of this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37267597 and how people on twitter were talking about it. The goal was for easier recall of the earlier post as this discussion is in continuation of that. The title says that and so does the blog post.
That won't fix anything. Many rentals are apartment buildings and are built/owned by large companies. You would effectively make the situation worse because individuals wouldn't be able to build high density housing if they're only allowed one unit.

Edit: why disagree?
...okay, that is less automatic than I was led to expect. I mean, it's still cool, I guess.

> One of those things that sounds great until other countries apply it symmetrically and tax US exports.

This is fine. Really.

There is nothing wrong with every country being able to support themselves with their local economy.

I'm not saying to jack things up to 500%, but a general 5%-10% to make shipping cheap crap around the world have a bit more friction would be a good thing.

The goal is to make it economically viable to produce things closer to where they are consumed. And to only produce those things non-locally that have a genuine reason for being produced non-locally.
AI is the end of copyright. Hopefully such accusations like "X stole Y" will end in the future and we can appreciate a society where we all have unlimited access to knowledge.

For me artificial sweeteners do not taste sweet.
At least in what I have tried so far in light
soda or tea sweeteners.
Given the popularity of artificial sweeteners
I must be an edge case.

I dont remember when, but at least here in Norway
Mountain Dew partially replaced sugar with an
artificial sweetener. It tasted off for me but
it took me a while to figure out what they had
done.
Until you use LLCs, corps, or trusts to get around that. Even if you didn't get around it that way, landlords will pass the tax onto the tenants.

> Electronic-waste neutral: When you buy a Fairphone 5, we give a phone a new life or recycle the same amount of electronic waste. This means 100% compensation for the weight of electronics we put into the market. Making you phone e-waste neutral.

You will be more environmentally friendly if you just don't upgrade from whatever phone you have for a few years. This seems as much of an accounting trick as carbon offsets, which don't really do anything. They could buy a bunch of used smartphones from a reseller market that probably would have been sold anyway, but Fairphone then resells them on the used market. Somehow, this means "100% compensation" for your purchase because they are giving another phone a new life.
More importantly, seeing the other comments, it uses those and a keyboard.
I've had FP4 since the launch. I don't use a case and have dropped it a couple times, mostly on wood, but once on tiles. The screen hasn't cracked yet and I haven't had to do any repairs on it. All in all, good HW.

Since owning it, the phone froze on me twice, once during the latest system update. Other than that, the SW seems solid. I've had an issue where the bottom SW buttons would disappear and not come back, but turns out, they come back with a swipe up.

I don't particularly enjoy being in the walled gardens of Google, but feel that Apple is no better. Hopefully the EU regulation comes quick to allow me to install 3rd-party apps.

In a perfect world, I'd be able to root the phone and still be able to use the banking app, but that won't happen ever.

EDIT: By 3rd-party I mean apps from third-party app stores/package managers. Sorry about the misunderstanding.
its a damn shame that a third party implemented firefox extensions for webkit while firefox on android still doesn't support the same extensions on the same codebase, not to talk about missing all extensions on IOS which this browser does.

that's why, being a hardened firefox user, i see them doing directionless work just to kill time, sipping on google's ad revenue.

case in point. employees are paid by the work they put out and management is paid by "industry standards". that means, management has incentive to keep not doing groundbreaking work because that would jeopardize their paycheck from google.
I'm not sure the middle classes are likely to be hit by ULEZ anyway - it hits vehicles older than a certain age, primarily - not many of those Chelsea Tractors are likely to fall foul of it. While I agree with ULEZ, I will admit it's quite regressive - the people with old/polluting vehicles are, in many cases, those least able to afford anything better and/or the charge. Public transport should be much better, but that's way beyond the scope of something the mayor can quickly impact.
I don't see a single AD
Well by that standard how many of us can say we learned to code without seeing anyone else’s code? And how many of us “regurgitate” copyrighted code? I don’t check my own output, and across decades of writing, odds are good I’ve produced verbatim copies of some copyrighted code.

Point being, there’s a legit conversation to be had about AI training data, but it’s not the same conversation as humans intentionally creating a derivative work. I think it’s too reductive to insist those are the same thing.
If you go off your meds you go to a bad place pretty quickly and that's called withdrawals, in most cases which are protracted. You have been massively misinformed and led to believe there's something wrong with "you" as an entity when in fact you just have a great deal of metabolic damage caused by a vast amount of different experiences such as eating super-processed foods, having some mild food intolerance on specific foods that greatly impacts your mood, and overall great mitochondrial dysfunction. It is of increasing evidence that the keto-genic diet and being in ketosis makes quitting those meds much more easier and it is for a fact those meds cause directly what they claim to treat. Good luck.
What do you think of the DOD refusing to pay for starlink in Ukraine until the middle of this year?
Spare parts are expensive too. Fairphone 4 display is selling at 75 Euro. Samsung Galaxy M20 replacement screen that have same specs costs 25$.
This is a chicken and egg problem. Reduce public services in rural areas, get population outflow, reduce public services even more.

You can stop the vicious circle by increasing the services back to make it attractive and at the same time densify rural cities to make them less costly to cater to.
One of, yes.

Not the best, and already has failures like Swift for Tensorflow.
I highly doubt that safety is on the mind of SUV and truck buyers. Perhaps that is the reason they give after the fact, but really it is all about looks.
No, they dont. Those same people also lived thirty years ago, most likely had a much more active lifestyle and did perfectly fine with much smaller cars.
Yes same, the google blue + the crispy image, it does reminds me of the old days.

However, I feel like this site was published for the survey more than anything else.
Using Google or Facebook is a cost, it’s around $10-20 to get an account.
Discovery vs design is the real dichotomy. When discovery is needed, move in small steps with lots of discussion. When design is possible, move in big steps with detailed specs

We’re biased to overestimate our understanding of problems, so we should lean towards discovery mode and small steps

Dysfunctional agile has detailed specs and little discussion (no discovery, myopic design)
The specs say IP55
None of my phones have been destroyed by moisture so it's not "inevitable"

You're making the mistake many people make in assuming all communication on the web is strictly two way, and that the only possible outcome of speech online is hurt feelings.

If I post your real name, address and bank account credentials online, or photos of you in the bathroom, or start a forum to plan acts of genocide against your race or religion, or maybe spread plausible slander about you on every social media platform I can, that's perfectly acceptable under your terms. But it doesn't help you if all you're allowed to do is set a filter flag on it. It's still there, having an effect.

The web isn't just teenage edgelords shitposting at each other for lulz anymore, there are actual real world consequences at play.
Controversial opinion, but corporate landlords tend to be better than individual landlords because it's impersonal and it's harder to hide. They also have different tax treatment.

> individuals wouldn't be able to build high density housing

Who exactly has (a) enough money to build an apartment block and (b) not enough to put it in a corporate wrapper? (Admittedly the wrapper problem is a serious issue for any kind of rationing!)
To be fair, just because we can generate text well doesn't mean we're any closer to actually knowing how to influence people subtly like that. Anything that makes content can be used for vague general propaganda/lobbying, but impacting product-decision in a specific way? Seems as difficult as ever.

It's not a race to the top of the safety spectrum. That's just a disguise and also only for some people.

Bigger means like a Ford Focus or so, not a fucking SUV. Nobody ever needs an SUV. If you need more space to move stuff just get a van.
I wish they would make a 5a version that is smaller and has lower specs and is therefore cheaper. I really like the idea of getting updates until 2031 and being able to just replace the battery.
So I can paint 'Mona Free Moneya', value it at $1Billion and then burn it for a tax write-off, right?
Cities also have vacant office space. It's likely more economical and greener to convert the existing building vs building new construction in the "wasted space".

I like the idea of what you describe for remote work. I'm not sure how effective that would be in the US. It seems many people want very specific amenities or locations. Or like one friend, they wouldn't move back just because of "all the druggies". I think at best, it would just slow the population decline in those areas. It would be better if the old rust belt cities had business and industry return physically. Not everyone can be a knowledge worker on a laptop - there needs to be some physical jobs too.
> at the same time densify rural cities

This does not work. People live in rural areas because they don't want density. That is the whole point. (Alternatively, it might be because they are too poor to move. However, densifying/gentrifying an area does not fix that--it just boots people to a different poor rural area.)

You are trying to make rural areas viable by making them a city. You might as well just improve the situation in an already existing city.
I suppose with WASM you can just write an infinite loop?
>In some rural areas there's a really conservative, tight-knit mindset. A deep resentment for somebody different and a very specific world-view really dominating the area. This is not about hipster-cafes, but about some basic progress in society some parts just try to not be part of.

Boomers are like that almost everywhere. They vehemently reject the current status of realty and want only to live in their own version.

I told some Bavarian boomers a while ago that housing is unaffordable and they were insisting that's nonsense that we're all lazy that back then they could buy a house if they worked hard and saved, so I pulled out a ballpen and the beer coaster on the table, pulled out my phone with the property price numbers, the average wage numbers and the bank loan calculators to prove it to them with the napkin math on the beer coaster, and they were like "huh, I didn't know it was that bad, it expected it would be better today".

They just live in their own bubble refusing to do the basic research on how the world currently is, but instead try to strongarm everyone into their warped reality without caring that they might be wrong.
It is worse. My cousin did it. So parts of me are there already and I have zero say here. It is kinda like current surveillance. You can take all the precautions you want, but, if your so does not, it partially defeats the purpose. Those are the moments I lean towarda heavy regulation.
What a pretty response, with an extra bad black-and-white-thinking last paragraph.

Is this supposed to be real? If so please back that up in some way.
This is sort of how social housing used to work in the UK ("council houses"), but with additional restrictions on private ownership that are politically very hard.
