What's worse is that the author fails to acknowledge is that these writers have the opportunity to cater towards niches and global communities. There are vast, global audiences who would definitely pay for content and commentary from people who represent them and their interests.

> In the 1990s there was only one string type - NUL-terminated characters.

Indeed. If I could wave a magic wand, I would add a fat pointer to the language that we use to represent strings and arrays, and that we can automatically convert to/from const char* at compile time. This would replace string_view and span. All of the functionality of std::string would be available to it, and a call to strlen, or strcpy on it would work via the length, rather than the null terminator.

But alas, no magic wand.

I was actually pleasantly surprised by the article. I thought it would be about SBF getting special treatment in prison on account of his wealth and connections and that would be the failure described.

Seeing the actual article makes me feel that he is being treated justly.

There is a problem in many parts of the world right now, and the same housing problem can be cited in almost all of the West.

The scale of the problem is dramatically different. In the US, like much of the world, there are the expensive areas and then the less expensive areas, and people migrate accordingly. Gentrification happens and people have to move further afield, etc. I see listings for extraordinary homes in various towns in the US for prices that are absolutely dreamy (not like ghettos, but nice little towns). In a remote world, the US has astonishingly attainable options throughout the union.

In Canada, far-flung garbage towns have million dollar bungalows and $3000 rents. There are no inexpensive options anywhere, no matter how far out you're willing to move just to have a place to live. The country literally has politicians telling people to loan a bedroom. Yet in the face of actually falling home building and recurring disasters, the governing party has doubled down on an immigration rate that exceeds every other developed country (and I'm not talking about per capita, I'm talking about in absolute numbers!). It's unbelievable.
I don't see how UBI helps. It would help if home prices were low enough such that builders aren't incentivized to build, but high enough that people can't afford them. But that isn't the scenario. In the current scenario, UBI or any other form of rent subsidy is just going to go almost directly into property owners bank accounts.

Years ago I subscribed to a daily newspaper (still subscribe to a weekly news magazine), I subscribed to insurance for my car, home, etc - still do. I subscribed to cable tv, I subscribed to my phone line, I subscribed to my apartment by paying rent, I subscribed to a transport service by paying for a season ticket. As recently as 5 years ago I subscribed to a milk and bread service.

Subscriptions are nothing new. Those subscriptions (short of cable tv) would be nothing unusual 100 years ago.

His examples of beer and cinema are odd as I current consume both, neither through a subscription, however mail order wine clubs date back 100 years.

What is new is the subscription to things you already own, the “heated seat” debacle for example.

I prefer wired keyboards/mice for their reliability. But aesthetically, I don’t like having a bunch of cables spread across my desk.

Then the inevitable downfall of enshittification occurs. It happened to 4chan, and many many other smalller communities.

I admit I didn't know it was an app exclusively for gay people, and while you are right that many are vilified in certain countries that doesn't really stop people from meeting, and I'd argue if the systemic prosecution of people based on their sexual orientation is going on they likely have bigger issues than their developers deciding to draw a line in terms of worker rights. Israel comes to mind.

M1 is a great autoloader, and this article really spells out the difficulty in getting the Defense Department to . . ahh . . stop looking towards the past. I was gonna say something different but thought better of it.

I'd also like to shine a light on early efforts at an individual squad automatic weapon in the former Russian Empire, culminating in the 1915 Fedorov Avtomat:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedorov_Avtomat

Ian McCollum did a Forgotten Weapons on this one as well

https://youtu.be/M7yhQXFKHMc?si=-nd4mNhsA-DHbqzr

The Russians had arguably the most combat experience with high volume of fire in defense, thanks to the experiences of the Russo-Japanese war, and what's more, they sought to capitalize on it, seeing it as working hand in hand with the geographic strengths of the Empire. The Revolution put a serious speed bump in that, obviously, as the most forward thinking military folks were not going to get on terribly well during the purges. Tukhachevsky says hello.

But if the Fedorov had just a slightly different timeline, we could have seen a very different infantry landscape in late-WW1. As it was, we had to wait for the AVS-36 to make its appearance as the first selective fire battle rifle.
I have a CS degree and have worked for 20+ years and designed and architected pretty impactful systems.

Yet when I had a conversation with chatGPT to do some architectural brainstorming, it was on par with, or better than most architectural discussions I’ve had with others in my career. Including discussing tradeoffs, UI features, order of developing them, etc.

Sure you kind of have to know what to ask it. But it was the first moment for me where I realized even my job is at risk.

So I agree that MBA students aren’t a high bar. It even does a decent job with software solutioning and architecture.

I have a lot to say about Eoin Colfer's travesty of a sequel, but I'm not going to say it all here.

To sum it up in one word, I felt betrayed. The original books shed humorous light on so many of the rotten things in our world, in a way that had protected me. For example, I had met the Vogons before I encountered actual bureaucracy. This book depicted Vogons as people complete with awkward father/son reconciliation plot. I was certain when I read it that Adams was 'spinning in his grave' as he would have put it. I was inconsolable.

I had to opportunity to read the final manuscript in preparation for interviewing him. After reading the manuscript, which was difficult as I became increasingly upset as I slogged through it, I refused to be involved further and suggested that they not publish it. When further begged for interview questions, the best I could come up with was something along the lines of "How dare you?".
I don't see the problem here. You aren't entitled to ownership of multiple houses. Being forced to sell one house in order to buy another one sounds like working as intended to me.

OK, that's the problem then. If enough houses were built there would be no speculation either, just as there's no speculation in cars.
Hard to not to have a cognitive dissonance on this one. As a kid I loved Lego, and my kids have plenty too. But thinking of all that plastic that eventually makes its way to a dumpster... Lego is brining so much joy, but you can't ignore the environmental impact too. I am actually disappointed at myself about not having thought to buy second-hand instead.

It is an interesting example of why the pollution problem is hard. Here we are not even talking about anything essential for the quality life, not even comfort. That's basically "just a toy". But, theoretically, would we be willing to give it up if we don't find an environmentally friendly way to make it?

I used to do something similar at a previous company and this works well if you don't have to worry about scaling. YAGNI principal and all that. When you run hundreds of containers for different workloads, k8s bin packing and autoscaling (both on the pod and node level) tips the balance in my experience.

So true! There was quite a lot of dust in the air over the alps lately, smoke from Canadian wildfires apparently. For the blue moony it was no storm so... Just light rain and solid cloud cover large enough to not even bother driving elsewhere.

I can’t speak for every situation, but basically: yes. It’s not the heat pump itself that’s the limit, it’s the energy source that feeds it. The skinny gas pipe going into my home can deliver vastly more energy than the crappy old wires and breaker box can. Upgrading the breaker box is certainly not impossible, but it is enormously expensive. The expense is mostly the expert labor required. If we really cared about making this transition, we would set up collective action and utilize economies of scale by having the utility company come through a neighborhood and upgrade service to every house at the same time to massively reduce the labor costs per home, and amortize the cost of the work. I don’t expect to see that happen in my lifetime, however.

> Python or other dynamic languages

I should have stated that I'm comparing Rust to typed Python (or TypeScript or typed Racket or whatever). Typed Python gives you a type system that's about a good as Rust's, and the same kinds of autocompletion and inline documentation that you would get with Rust, while also freeing you from the constraints of (1) being forced to type every variable in your program upfront, (2) being forced to manage memory, and (3) no interactive shell/REPL/Jupyter notebooks - Rust simply can't compete against that.

You're experience would likely have been very different if you were using typed Python.

A lot of management work is merely reporting up down sideways. The manager:engineer ratio is high because a human manager cannot keep up with so much reporting for so many people. They can't even keep up with all 1:1s.

With generative AI, a lot of reporting will become automated, reducing the need for managers to spend time on reporting. Efficient companies will figure out that manager:engineer ratio does not need to be so high.
This argument doesn't make sense to me either, but maybe I'm just stupid.

For something to die at 3am in production, that means either someone pushed code way too late, or something changed in the stack unpredictability. Your compiler wouldn't have been able to predict either of those cases. But bugs are bugs, if I'm called at 3am to fix a bug, I don't want to spend hours trying to fight my compiler, and then fall back asleep while I'm waiting for it to compile. I want to quickly identify the issue, and then to be able to write the smallest possible patch until morning. In my limited experience, rust is conducive to neither of those options.

And you said "if we get liquid types" I assume that means you meant it to say if rust gets? Unless you meant to identify as part of the rust language?

It's a bigger problem in NorCal. It's less visible in socal and it's only mostly just a recent phenomenon in socal.

> People without this wealth are forced to pay their rent to others, who accept both the rent and then the real estate gains.

I note this in that not owning results in being beholden to increasing rents and at a cost disadvantage in buying a future home.

But the property value gains are hard to realize in a meaningful way. Yes, you can potentially leverage your equity into acquiring more homes. But real estate gains have traditionally lagged the stock market. So as you continue this cycle, you increase your leverage dramatically while investing in highly-correlated and slightly underperforming assets.

Meanwhile, little of these gains are able to be used for actual lifestyle improvements until you start unloading these properties.
This is genious

UBI would simply increase housing costs. The only way it wouldn’t is if UBI was funded from a land value tax, but even that would require enough housing in non desirable areas.

Preface to the Digital Edition of Kernighan and Ritchie's The C Programming Language
Oct 31, 2012

“… Remarkably, in spite of all of this change, C retains a central position. It is still the core language for operating system implementation and tool building. It remains unequaled for portability, efficiency, and ability to get close to the hardware when necessary. C has sometimes been called a high-level assembler, and this is not a bad characterization of how well it spans the range from intricate data structure and control flow to the lowest level of external devices.”

Thing is, your wealth actually hasn't increased. You still only have 1 condo unit of wealth regardless of its nominal currency value and you have to live somewhere. So if you sold it you'd just have to buy another unit or house somewhere anyway.

But this collective delusion that the house prices of homeowners has gone up is a huge part of the problem, in part because if house prices halved, it would be a huge problem but probably not as large as people think, mainly because people can largely just walk away from underwater mortgages (in Canada AFAIK).

The only people who benefit are those hoarding real estate, not individual homeowners. This is the core problem with neoliberal private property.
