I suppose I have adapted quite a bit, but it’s just a different path to the same style of code/modularity I’ve found most effective/productive.

I was primarily FE for a while, and used to agonize over the smallest details when building eg React components. After a few years, I concluded that the innards don’t really matter most of the time, at least not early on, so I limited my obsessions to the “public interface” (naming, types and prop design) and libraries of well abstracted, composable, low-level building blocks. If and when things needed to be rewritten or optimized, replace the internals.

ChatGPT just gets me there faster, and more often than not, gives me acceptable production-level innards while I get to stay focused on perfecting the exterior and cohesiveness of the overall solution.

I’ve found this approach usually pays dividend when reworking parts of the system, too — GPT picks up on the flow of everything much better when the code is “self documenting”. Same appears true if humans need to get directly involved.

Still blows my mind on a daily that we’re here already. I’m glad I’m not early in my career, I’d be very worried if I had another 40 years to go.
OTEL on .NET has been "meh". I'm considering ripping out all of the metrics components in favor of Prometheus-net.

It's missing basic stuff it should have. For example, .NET auto uses a trace id when returning `Problem` or similar using Activity.Id. The trace id in OTEL is different for whatever reason, which means you have to add a customization in order to match the trace ids.

It doesn't keep track of http codes, routes, etc.

It's lacking basic functionality and outside of tracing is practically useless.

> Yet, there is a theorem in automata theory that states anything that can be done with feedback can be done without feedback simply by "unfolding" the feedback connections present in a circuit (the Krohn-Rhodes theorem).

Isn't this a theoretical result that holds in the limit with unlimited unrolling, like the Taylor series expansion of a closed-loop transfer function like 1/(1+H(s)), and therefore irrelevant for practical purposes?
So many of the problems we've made seem like they could be great fixed by less people instead of more each year.

> Some people value their time, energy, and money more.

More highly "curated" media providers have almost always been the least-efficient, most-costly, and least-satisfying for me.

Buying physical books at a bookstore has typically been a costly waste of time, with the selection being poor, and it requiring time, money, vehicle wear, etc., to actually get to the store.

Public libraries are often worse in terms of selection, and thanks to the ones where I am being funded via taxation, I'm stuck paying for them even if I don't use them.

Online and ebook sellers are somewhat better, although they can still be costly, and the delivery of physical books can take some time.

I've had much better success finding fiction and non-fiction content by doing some searches and seeing which random websites, forums, and other less-"curated" online resources I happen to run across.

It has been the same for video media, too.

OTA TV is relatively cheap, but the selection is so limited as to make it useless.

Cable and satellite TV have upfront costs, and then ongoing costs, plus a relatively limited selection of content available at any given time.

Paid online streaming providers have a cost, obviously, and I've found the selection to be quite poor.

Movie theatres are extremely costly for what you get, have a tremendously limited selection, and also involve significant travel and time costs.

Tape and disc rentals no longer exist today where I am, aside from public libraries. They had per-rental costs, late fees, travel costs, and very limited selection. As stated before, I pay for the library even if I don't use it.

YouTube, on the other hand, gives me a much better experience than the more "curated" providers. With just a minute or two of searching, I can find hours and hours worth of content to watch each evening, I can view this content with almost no delay, the cost is minimal, and the content is far more entertaining and informative than the more "curated" options.

Avoiding "curated" media providers has saved me a lot of time, energy, and money, in addition to providing me with much more enjoyable and useful content.

> These are good at solving crimes, but not preventing them.

In the long run, solving crimes is preventing them because crime (especially serious violent crime) is Pareto-distributed.

> This is true, but you still have to get the patient into the hospital in time. Gunshots and stab woulds turn fatal really fast.

The major innovation of shock trauma units just was getting patients to high-end hospitals really fast. In the 1970's, Baltimore began using helicopters to airlift critical patients to a city-wide shock center, which was considered outlandish at the time but paid off: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_Adams_Cowley_Shock_Trauma_Ce.... The system works well enough that Baltimore now has roughly two non-fatal shootings for every fatal one. That's great for the survivors but tends to mask the scale of the violence, as a lot fewer of those victims would have survived without Dauphin helicopters.

> We are aging, but our largest demographic currently is between 19-40 (prime time age).

This sounds like a statement about one possible way to divide the population into histogram bins in 2023 rather than a comparison of population structure between 1950 and 2023. Since 1950, the most murder-prone fraction of the population (men in their 20's) has decreased by about 10%. (https://www.populationpyramid.net/united-states-of-america/2...). There are various reasonably ways of making that comparison but they all give the same qualitative answer supporting the common-sense observation that the US population pyramid has aged.
About 20 iterative engine designs from the Rocketdyne A-1 to the F-1, building experience and skills along the way.

It's probably a myth anyway, Rocketdyne's expertise continues with the RS-68 and there are probably still employees that worked on the RS-56 that was derived from the H-1, which was essentially a smaller F-1

edit: Apparently, an upgraded F-1B is part of the SLS Block 2 spec anyway, so yes, they can still make them.

> Were they? They can probably use a little boost to help fund their schools or other infrastructure, to keep the towns worth living in for people.

Everyone can find a use for more money, sure. But this was supposed to be a policy to help out the dying towns, not to give a boost to the top handful of non-Tokyo places.

> Sure, but why should a town that doesn't produce anything useful get any funding at all? Just because people lived in a place in the distant past doesn't mean people need to keep living there now.

Again, that contradicts the whole premise of this policy. If that's your thinking then why have the policy at all, why not just keep the money in Tokyo (which is after all where more people want to live)?

How much worse of a world would you be willing to accept if it being worse gave you the slim chance that you'd profit a small bit longer if you ever had success?

Would you close public libraries if you believed it gave you a 3% profit increase when you do so? (In fact having a library opened will generate more readers, so more customers will be buying you book even if some can rent it for essentially free).

These are not a trick questions, they are the actual ethical questions at play here — and the reason you are being downvoted.

As a European it is also crystal clear that this kind of thinking is the root of most major social problems the US is experiencing for decades now (in comparison to nearly all other similar wealthy nations). The US would be in a much more economically sustainable place now if it wasn't for the constant "privatize gains socialize losses"-game.
CHERI enforces safety in hardware. No amount of language safety can prevent exploits from being forged right out of machine code.
There's more hope than you think as a developer to recognize those types of IPv6 addresses at a glance. The :: shortcut alone also acts a shortcut for pattern matching. You may have network designs where things like {prefix}::110 is the network printer and {prefix}::beef is the cafeteria's new meat printer. Whether or not you bother to remember what exactly {prefix} is or if in worst case it changes regularly and you can mostly ignore it (after briefly pattern matching that it looks close enough to other IPs in your network).

There's different "rules" from IPv4, but as a developer those mostly don't matter and if your network engineer wants you pattern matching your network's machines, then you can just as easily pattern match your network's machines as with IPv4. (That said, there's privacy reasons your network engineers might not want that, security through obscurity and all that. That can be just as true in IPv4, but fewer companies have enough IPv4 address space to truly obfuscate the network patterns. Life is harder for network engineers in IPv6 not entirely because it "has to be" but because "privacy and security is 'easier' if we use a more complicated approach to IPv6 than we did with IPv4 where we would just sequentially number machines within our allotted space".)
I mean yes, it's unironically better if something that ruins things for everyone is restricted to be a luxury good, because less of a bad thing (congestion, pollution, space, death etc) is a good thing even if some lucky fuckers (not enough to meaningfully impact the larger effect) manage to skirt the spirit of the law.

Private cars will eventually be banned from cities, though, I'm sure of that. But it will take a long time. Congestion pricing and such are baby steps and is just you finally paying for your previously free externalities, and yes the market (in this case society/dominant politics) gets to set the price. Tough luck, welcome to proper capitalism.
I found David Eagleman's books, especially Incognito, to be really good introduction to how the brain works.

I remember having a conversation with my daughter about this. We were discussing social media and photos on social media.

I told her that in the best case scenario, the future will be homes with a redundant hosting server where everything lives. Families will host their own email, calendar, photos for sharing. And cloud will only be used for backup in case of a disaster, or for migrating.

If you rent an apartment, it will someday come with a hosting service as part of the home address. And features will vary based on the kind of apartment or flat you're renting or buying.

And of course, you can upgrade it.
The cure is worse than the disease in that case.

are suddenly passionately saying livable cities are a way to control us.

Look at what the government and Big Tech are doing. There are constant articles here being posted about surveillance, loss of privacy, etc. It's a whole lot easier to control the population when you gradually make it harder for them to travel unhindered and untracked.

Chickens in a factory farm can be described as being in "livable" conditions. After all, they are still alive and healthy enough (for a controlled period of time.)

They're only calling it a "conspiracy theory" in an attempt to discredit the other side.

Everyone who still believes in freedom.
Yes, came for the same comment. Add an import tax of 2x whatever it takes to ship a car out. Each new car that comes in, two cars go out.

>If that's your thinking then why have the policy at all, why not just keep the money in Tokyo (which is after all where more people want to live)?

As I said before, my guess is that some places are worth saving, others not so much. The government here does have the goal of spreading the population out a bit more, because they're worried too many people are concentrated in just a few big cities, and a big disaster could be catastrophic for this reason. It does not follow that they want everyone to spread out equally across the whole country, or that every single small town needs to be saved.

Tbh my conspiracy mind went somewhere like that. An F35 costs hundreds of millions, I'm sure there are plenty of state (and non-state) actors willing to pay, say, 50m for access to its hardware. If you're an enterprising arms dealer, you find a pilot willing to cooperate for 5-10m, ask him to point the plane in a particular direction and eject, and then wait for it to come to you. A soft crash would probably still give you enough to turn a decent profit.

There is no heavy industry on the island, and the economy isn't really capable of supporting heavy industry.
OP originally disputed the claim of a "crime wave", arguing with mistaken math that homicides--the most statistically reliable measure of crime--have only increased by 2% since 2014. (In fact it's more like 50%.)

I corrected OP's math and OP edited the comment to remove the claim about the increase in homicides being negligible, so now the thread doesn't really make any sense. But that's why I was talking about homicides.
