> Second it seems like you are shooting your own religious position in the foot by dismissing your opponent's view 'just religion' as well.

I have a ton of respect for religion, so when I characterize environmentalism, wokeism, and social justice warriordom as sharing characteristics with religion, that's actually not being dismissive at all, but quite the contrary. It implies that the respect I have for religion extends also to those belief systems. -- It strikes me as an internal contradiction that you characterize my position as religious, but also characterize it as a dismissal if I point out that my opponent's position shares characteristics with religion.

It seems, the only thing in what I wrote that could have given offence is that I picked those specific words in the first place. This is similar to how, when you pick the word "terrorist" over "freedom fighter", you've already identified yourself with the political camp that opposes them.

Interestingly, I chose those words precisely because I thought they had greater specificity than alternatives that came to mind (like "liberal" or "left").

I also think it's quite interesting that you seem to think that a concept like "Christian" is specific, while "wokeism" is not. After all the spectrum of different Christian beliefs, number of different social groupings underneath the Christian umbrella, and internal heterogeneity of beliefs within those groups is so great, that, literally, wars have been fought over that.

Another reason I picked those words was because I sincerely don't want to oppose "the left". In fact, the political grouping that historically most closely resembled the beliefs I still hold was the political left in Europe, prior to the financial crisis of 2008. With the tectonic shifts in the political landscape since then, and the likelihood that Americans would misunderstand what I mean by "left", I wanted to avoid that word.
>mildly positive, or even ambivalent about musk or trump you get mass downvoted, and people assume you completely lack integrity

With the amount of time musk and trump have had in the spotlight and the awful shit they've objectively actually done, it should make people question your integrity if you are writing positively about them. Like it or not, downvotes are an expression of disapproval.
Yeah, that always bugged me! The zero-with-a-slash only seems to be used in that flight plan section of the screen; all of the other zeroes are without the slash. And the "5" and "4" next to the zero-with-a-slash in the waypoint 5240N is clearly the B612 glyphs. So it makes me think that in the Airbus software, in contexts where there might be ambiguity between 0 and O or where there are mixed letters and numbers, they use the zero-with-a-slash, but everywhere else (numeric-only readouts, etc.) they use the non-slash zero.

And I wonder if there's a 0-with-a-slash in the downloadable version of the font, enabled with an OpenType stylistic set number or feature or something, or if that zero-with-a-slash is just something custom the Airbus folks do internally.

ListBox/PopupButton … The React version is 2500 lines of JavaScript

Is this idiomatic? I refused to use React for years, but if this is normal-ish, it basically cements the decision. An implementation of a ListBox in VGA 0xA0000 framebuffer could be only a little bigger (if even bigger). GtkTreeView, which draws a complete tree/table with columns, resizing, dynamic rows and all the interactions, was 10kloc, afair (now 14). GtkCombobox.c is 5kloc, almost half of that is comments or doxygen.
you can go to prison for 10 years

Really? I doubt it. Most insiders never get caught, and those that do get relatively small fines and sentences. Many sentences are suspended or deferred. Remember: To clawback (fine) insider trading, you need to clearly prove specific profits were gained via insider trading. It is insanely hard. Even when caught, it is a tiny fraction of their wealth.

I realize this is tongue in cheek, but really: Read code!

If you ever start plateauing in your code skills, start digging into the code of your favorite open source project. Accept that things have been done in another way than you would for a reason and try to understand that reason.

Try joining advent of code[0], and make sure to spend half you time block on reading and understanding alternative solutions.

Sure, you can put A, B, C, D side by side. But next time if you need to find D, you have to navigate A > B > C > D, with no other recourse. Often, you don't care about A, B, or C. Only D. And the benefit of A, B, C, and D being close together becomes immaterial.

In real systems where things are spread, A, B, C, and D can be very far apart indeed. And it's totally fine! What matters is that from the starting position,let's say X, I can 'navigate' to A, B, C, or D, in an equal and speedy manner.

Plus human brains love to navigate things in a 'spatial' way like this. It's natural. Really when you think about it, the perceived loss here is not that big compared to the benefits.
I think I understand your reasoning better now. I didn’t interpret OP as being purely dismissive or pejorative, but I see how you did. From your viewpoint it makes total sense that it’s wrong to compare “wokeism” to religion because “wokeism” clearly isn’t a religion! Seems obvious when stated that way.

I was originally thinking the OP meant something like, “hey I’ve heard this quacking noise somewhere before… what could this be…?”

The problem is more in the ecosystem side than the core libraries side. Many front end devs build UIs for a day job and when they’re developing some new product requirement they don’t think twice before pulling in react-widget, react-ui-this, react-router, react-accordian. This is the main issue that creates bundle bloat and maintenance pain down the line.

I don’t know what the solution is there.
Definitely not that many. Even for me this was an outlier, but it made me more comfortable with functions most people would consider long.

I'd like to clarify this was not necessarily 2kloc-complex, this was just 2kloc-long-and-not-really-meant-to-be-reused. It was a fairly long but linear process that was out of the ordinary for the rest of the codebase. It could easily have been split (hell, I had 9 fairly separate stages), but calling any of the intermediate stages out of order or without the context of the rest of the execution flow... would have been a foot gun for someone else. And, as time showed, we never needed those stages for anything else.
Data worth hundreds of millions of dollars? What’s an example of data that an entity would realistically pay hundreds of millions of dollars for?

>tying the consumed media to a specific ip that can be used to tie to a specific person.

My experience with /e/ OS has been good so far and yes you're right, I'm using MircoG and yes, all my banking and payment apps are working fine, Just Uber does not work. Google Maps work fine too with MircoG on /e/ OS.

The main advantage /e/ OS has over other custom ROMs is it's 'Advanced Privacy', which blocks all the trackers from all installed apps at device level (by blocking DNS request). It is very unique to /e/ OS and it works like a charm. You can find more details about it here: https://doc.e.foundation/support-topics/advanced_privacy

And No, /e/ OS does not focus only on pixel device, it's much more flexible than Calyx or Graphene.

For my device, Easy installer support was there, so installing /e/ OS was easy. I have also installed it on my friends POCO F1 using TWRP recovery. You don't have to build it yourself, /e/ foundation hosts pre-built images for all supported devices.

How did I do it without Easy Installer?:
1. Go to this link: https://doc.e.foundation/devices and check if device supported or not
2. If yes, copy its codename (For POCO F1 it's "beryllium".
3. First check if there is stable release for your phone with this link: https://images.ecloud.global/stable/<codename>/
4. If not, then download dev build for your phone my modifying above link to: https://images.ecloud.global/dev/<codename>/
5. You can find ".img" file of recovery and ".zip" file for build.
6. Refer this video to install /e/ OS using TWRP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZyqFzsXYek

I don't use Seek, but the iNaturalist website filters computer vision matches using a "Seen Nearby" feature:

For how the model was trained, it's fairly well documented on the blog, including different platforms used as well as changes in training techniques. Previously the model was updated twice per year, as it required several months to train. For the past year they've been operating on a transfer learning method, so the model is trained on the images then updated, roughly once each month, to reflect changes in taxa. The v2.0 model was trained on 60,000 taxa and 30 million photos. There are far more taxa on iNaturalist, however there is a threshold of ~100 observations before a new species is included in the model.

I know it’s (usually, mostly) implied, but one of my dearest wishes for programming discourse is for people to say that something is more/less readable for them rather than declaring it a universal.
Really? It's not even the most common way to refer to the caval foramen. This is obscure archaic terminology.

My longest code is always image processing. It's usually too hard to break up for the sake of breaking up. There's nothing to reuse between the calls to filters/whatever.
I like the idea that the laws of physics allow us to draw conclusions with certainty, despite what our eyes observe: we are sure it's no perpetual device, since science says it's impossible.

Exactly with the Sun: our eyes observe that Sun goes around Earth, but science tells us otherwise.

Yes, there are realities that exist beyond what we can see, that we can deduce with reasoning.

With very little context, that might happen. You're not translating the subtitles line by line, are you? Either way you're probably much better off using chatgpt.
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that that right variant is significantly better. I prefer it because of the smaller lexical scopes, because it's easier to test and most importantly to me it's easier to extend and to understand what the workflow intends to do. If I had to maintain code like this, I imagine in my day to day, I'll likely only have to extend it by only touching the `addToppings` function, the rest can stay the same. If I have someone new joining my team I can easily guide them to this `addToppings` function and ask them to add support for pineapple and ham, nobody needs to be overwhelmed by the entire system and their task would be done in no time. I do acknowledge the question is about readability but I don't think it's possible to ignore testability, manageability and extensibility. I think the inlined approach simply does not strike a good balance of the aforementioned.
I also miss a distinguished 0 (with a line through). With B612 the O and 0 (with a line through) could be mixed up.

Not speaking to the broader questions, and I certainly have problems with Trump and the current court, but calling 3 appointments unprecedented is just wildly off base.

Why would you trust any company at all, ever?

No job this week guarantees a job next week, unless you have a termination clause and a defined monetary penalty. Anything else is wishful thinking.

Where does the idea that either party to the transaction has some implicit future commitment to the other come from? It seems to me like an anachronism from a hundred years ago.

People regularly switch jobs annually to make sure their compensation is in line with the market. Should we expect companies not to do the same when market conditions change?

Practical Application-Level Monitoring for Microservices
Wrong thing is discussed in this post.

Code on the right isn't good because it's non-linear. It's good because it outlains business processe clearly, making it easy to get a grasp on it, if you never baked pizza before and aren't an author of the original piece.

It's possible to write non-linear code using for eg unnecessary events or to much levels of abstraction and have the same issues for completely opposite reason.
If we go with the cooking analogy, if you have to describe to someone how to cook a meal, and at one part of the meal you have to put the fond in, it is reasonable to explain how to make the fond in a seperate section. The fond is it's own thing and it has one touching point with the food,therefore it is okay (or even benefitial) to move it out.

Also: cooking recipes are also very abstracted. When they say you need to lightly fry onions they assume you know a way to cut onions and a lightly frying algorithm already. If they would inline everything it would become unreadable.

Code is very similar. If you want it strictly without abstractions it will be as low level as your language allows you, and that is definitely not readable code.

If you e.g. instead of using pythons "decode" method tries to do unicode decoding yourself it would become very hard to understand what your program is actually about. Now there are probably zero people who would do that, because the language provides a simple and well tested abstraction — but what makes that different from you creating your own simple and well tested abstraction and using that throughout the actual business logic of your code?

The hard part is creating abstractions that are so well chosen that nobody will have to ever touch them again.

> But I never met a physicist with lingering unease about dimensional analysis.

There is very little that physicists have lingering unease about when it comes to (ab)using maths to get their way with the physical world.

Examples abound, and have actually led to many a new avenue in math.

Distributions (as in the Dirac distribution) are a very good example of this (IIRC convolution didn't have an identity and they needed one, and they just made up "functions" that were allowed to have infinite values as long as they had finite sums or something along those lines).
I was just thinking that if I _needed_ to refactor this I might structure the stages as chapters in a book. One might be able to write an inner class or some such that had a “table of contents” function that called each stage in sequence as a void function with data managed out of line, maybe via cleverly designed singleton structs. Then the code itself can be written in order with minimal boilerplate between stage boundaries.

I think I’ve worked with some Python that looked and worked this way. I can’t place the details but probably in a processor pipeline running over a particularly hairy data format. Consider ancient specifications written by engineers talking on the phone encapsulated in relatively “modern” but still vintage specifications, sometimes involving screen-scraping a green screen mainframe terminal, wrapped in XML and sent over the internet. Anyway, point is I couldn’t agree more about stories.
> In this case I hope nobody is proposing a single 1000-line god function. Nor is a maximum of 5 lines per function going to read well.

This is the key. Novice devs tend to write giant functions. Zealot devs who read books like Clean Code for the first time tend to split things to a million functions, each one a few lines long (pretty sure the book itself says no more than 5 lines for each function). I worked with a guy who extracted each and every boolean condition to a function because "it's easier to read", while never writing any comments because "comments are bad" (according to the book). I hate that book, it creates these zealots that mindlessly follow its bad advices.
I understand the sentiment, but I'm also aware of quite a few forums that have been swamped with legions of people looking for work. There's a meaningful risk that because HN has enough employers, the flood gates will open if this behaviour is tolerated (if not celebrated).
