> Hypothetically, if she figured out how to automate it on her own, would she get any kind of reward for it? If not, why should she automate it?

the reward is the intrinsic satisfaction of a job well done, and something to put on the CV for the next job.

automating dumb bureaucratic shit is how I learned to code in the "real world".
"Fundamentally"as in "QM forbids this". If our universe were different, a simpler kind which Laplace dealt with, it could be completely predicable, as theories of 18th century stated.
> do you want her to be unemployed instead?

Yes.

Compassion and reason both repel me, as a humanist and computer
scientist, from the thought of another human being pointlessly wasting
her life for the mere "necessity" of money to live because broken
software has become an excuse for this.

It is an inhuman spectacle, and the notion of "employment" here is so
weak as to have no force in the argument. An unemployed person at
least has the opportunity to redefine their life, whereas one who is
tricked daily into believing their bullshit job is "valuable" is being
robbed, no matter the remuneration.

Further, as a technical person, it disgusts me to see the tools we
created so comprehensively misused by idiots who are unable to
intelligently deploy them - or rather deploy them as instruments of
abuse rather than for human development and progress.

I'm using Rust now and it seems quite nice but it could use a spec and defined semantics for provenance or whatever. It's difficult to discuss memory safety if what is actually meant is "Whatever Rust does" while the Rust docs repeatedly admit they aren't sure what Rust is meant to do in relevant areas.

Most cars I’ve ever had don’t have auto-off headlights because the extra parts cost a few dollars and that eats into margins and growth must continue infinitely thanks to rent-seeking shareholders. Capitalism will corrupt engineering whenever it is in the interests of capitalists to do so.
That can have downstream effects, though. When I talked to them about doing it to my more recent Subaru, they told me I'd lose the front speakers and the in-car microphone as well, since all of them went through the same fuse.
I have no idea what tidyverse or ggplot are.

The two dominate EDA companies are Cadence and Synopsys. All of the digital design tools for synthesis, place and route, and static timing analysis use the Tcl language as the built in scripting language. These tools have literally thousands of built in commands.

You can look up some of the tools like Cadence Innovus that I use every day. A single license has a list price of over $1 million. We get big discounts because we have about 800 licenses.

Then you write more Tcl code to script things within the tool. A standard thing is building a power grid. You need to write a for loop to build a metal 1 stripe every 5 microns. That's done in Tcl.

You have a list of clocks you need to define with names and frequencies. Use a Tcl array and a for loop.

Our CAD flow is literally tens of thousands of lines of Tcl code to take Verilog and go through all the steps until we get a GDS file with mask data to manufacture.

That is exactly what history isn't so. History, as written by historians, is applying source criticism to primary sources. that understanding changes over time. What you describe is meme-based pop history at best.

WW2 history based on WW2 Generals' memoir's, as opposed to unit diaries, is a prime example of that trap.

> I can't imagine it is war-related, or at least not in any direct sense, like literally trying to intercept soldiers or spies.

Perhaps a majority of war between technologically developed countries these days occurs on the internet - just because no soldiers or spies are involved in something, that doesn't mean it isn't direct war. Example: propaganda around Russia/Ukraine last year and Israel/Palestine this year
I'm a big fan of SpaceX, but don't just make baseless assumptions that you don't have evidence for.

The crt.sh code is all open on GitHub, so can be hosted yourself. Last I checked a few months ago, the main ‘certificates’ table and indexes etc was close to 20TB, and there’s more than just that.

I live in an area that meets most of these requirements, plus many others that California doesn't meet. I lived in many different places, including California, and in the end it's a matter of balancing the advantages and disadvantages of each place.

You are basically defining your requirements in a way that can only be met California. If California didn't exist, would you jump in the ocean? What I mean is that perhaps one of your requirements could be relaxed so you can get many other benefits. For instance, the "100F with 90%" humidity is greatly mitigated by Air Conditioning or going out very early in the day. When I spent some time in Louisiana, which is crazy hot and humid, I was able to mitigate the heat in the way I describe to the point that it didn't affect my life.
I think that misses the point. A programmer who understands both their language and the environmental constraints with which that language, and it’s capabilities, execute likely understands enough to write and maintain original applications in that language.

As a JavaScript/Web/Fullstack developer I don’t live in that world. I live in a world of giant stupid frameworks. The only purpose of these frameworks is to supply an architecture in a box and put text on screen in a web browser. If a task cannot be performed using only the API provided by that framework then it must not be worth doing as it’s clearly far beyond the capabilities of the developer. There is far more to this software platform than merely putting text on screen in a web browser, for example: accessibility, security, performance, test automation, A/B testing, network messaging, architecture, content management, and so on.

God forbid you take the giant stupid frameworks away. It’s like castrating a person in public and then laughing at their great embarrassment. Many developers, some of whom shouldn’t be in this line of work to begin with, have built their entire careers around some framework API and absolutely cannot write code without it. The emotional insecurity is very real, as well as the completely inability to write original applications.

The solution to the problem is companies not doing such a thing and being made responsible.

Just because it’s easy for some people to do you can’t expect everyone to 1) know about this issue (Remember, there wasn’t an official announcement or recall) and 2) be confident enough to modify something on their car.

No, static analysis can also analyze multiple functions. What you are looking for is called interprocedural analysis and is more expensive than single function analysis (aka intraprocedural analysis). More generally what you want is context-sensitive (knows the calling context) and probably flow-sensitive (knows the control flow). The more precise the analysis, the more expensive they are. There are points-to analysis that can be pretty precise, e.g. https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.09189

> I am less concerned about that as computation resources exploded due to AI and solving SAT is getting faster and faster

Sadly we are usually very concerned about this. The complexity of these problems are usually NP-hard, so we usually have either heuristics (imprecise), exponential algorithms, or fixed-parameter tractable algorithms (practically speaking, O(2^c n) for a pretty large c), which are either imprecise or too slow. This is still an area with active research. The main problem is that, even if your computational power gets 2x faster, you cannot solve problems 2x larger within the same amount of time. It doesn't scale... (but of cause, usually we are dealing with sparse problems so the scaling is not in LOC for example)

But it violates the relational algebra all over the place in ways that blunt its usefulness and hides its elegance.

Example: Adds nulls (weird trivalue logic, and breaks reordering of some relational algebraic expressions), has duplicate tuples (relations stop being sets of sets).

Unfortunately SQL has done more recently to put people off the relational model than it has to bring them around. Though the majority of people who use it don't actually understand the relational model, so.

Datalog is also built on the relational algebra. Or at least, Datalog works on relations and any Datalog programme can effectively "compiled down" to a relational algebraic expression.

It kinda depends on the scale I guess? At some point in the growth of on application, pulling out the Big Tools can be helpful to get your application out of a local maximum.

Not everything needs that level of design though. Just because architects do detailed FEM analyses for skyscraper design doesn't mean your garden shed needs the same level of attention.

Wow, no one has mentioned Org mode (https://orgmode.org). I started using Emacs nearly 20 years ago specifically because of Org. I use Org for all my static sites, note taking, to-do lists and calendar. Org has a lightweight markup language that has far more features than Markdown (e.g., plain text spreadsheets!), but the markup isn't visible to the extent that Markdown is in most editors. Emacs with Org files behaves almost like a WYSIWYG editor. For example, links in Org files are clickable and their URLs aren't visible unless a cursor is hovered over them. I'm an obsessive note-taker with more than 6,000 Org files in my personal knowledge base and none of the dozens of other writing apps that I've evaluated comes close to Emacs with Org (given my requirements). But to be fair, I create content on Linux only so support for mobile devices doesn't matter to me.

By the way, it's funny that you mentioned Dreamweaver, dv35z, because I experimented with using Dreamweaver as a writing app in the 90s. I still have hundreds of HTML files that include notes and essays I wrote back then using Dreamweaver. Needless to say, I definitely prefer Emacs with Org!
There is/was a plugin for client side Tcl, the Tcl/Tk Tclet Plugin, originally released during the 1990s. It filled the same role as Javascript; but never really gained popularity.
I feel like there has to be a saying that encompass this idea that once you become good at something and apply it to the world, you wield the hammer and everything is a nail.

To be fair to Marc Andreessen, he's not the first to have this grandiose vision, and politically almost every ideology have had their fair share of "manifestos".

With that said, it's not a very interesting manifesto, it tries everything in it's book to justify it:

- Appeal to authority (citing various people, such as Milton friedman)

- Appeal to emotion (every time someone doesn't create an AI, someone dies)

- Dehumanize in the name of humanity (the classical the end justifies the means)

If people were to believe in this drivel, I wouldn't be surprised if it spawned yet another extreme and radical political ideology, as it doesn't seek to try and see the world for what it is but instead reject reality and substitute it with their own vision.

However I'm also a bit skeptical of using "facts and stats" to debunk the manifesto, facts and stats are good but since most manifestos are radical by nature, and as such I think that fact checking only will lead to self-satisfaction instead of an actual debunking, since the supporters will hand-wave it away.

Interesting but I don't think this especially adds anything. The high level diagrams are great but then you can already make those without having to read any fancy visual model websites. The site even kind of admits this:

> As an industry, we do have the Unified Modeling Language (UML), ArchiMate and SysML, but asking whether these provide an effective way to communicate software architecture is often irrelevant because many teams have already thrown them out in favour of much simpler "boxes and lines" diagrams.

This is very true, but then they seem to have ignored the reasons why UML class diagrams were a total failure. They somehow acknowledge that nobody likes them, but then the 4th C of their model (code) is... UML class diagrams!

You don't need this. Just do ad-hoc diagrams and make them clear, with labelled arrows. Their first three diagrams are actually good examples of this.
I'm guessing, as would be typical of many companies, it ended up on a backlog as low priority, survived a few Jira reorganisations and corporate restructuring, before eventually being noticed and fixed.

> Ideally this diagram would be automatically generated using tooling...

The biggest problem I've seen with architecture diagrams is they fall out of sync with the code base. In my opinion, automatic generation of these diagrams is necessary. Otherwise, teams have no way to know whether the picture in front of them accurately represents the latest state of the system.
It’s also plausible todays rich kids are descendants of people who have optimized their lives for making money. I doubt such parents make the best role models for aspiring scientists.

It’s possible that a society that has a more prosperous general population will produce more successful scientists.
> Hypothetically, if she figured out how to automate it on her own, would she get any kind of reward for it? If not, why should she automate it?

One would hope she would be able to move on to more meaningful work, rather than doing drudgery while waiting for someone to eliminate her when someone figures out it can be automated.

That said, a lot of people don't know how to automate processes and it would likely face some push back since the process would be non-standard and tied to an individual. That can have long term costs should the knowledge be lost or a software upgrade breaks something.
Quite terrifying really, there's so much information would be lost if this goes through.

In fact fore recent SQL standards have added extensions for these kinds of recursive joins. (And some databases like Oracle, DB2 have had recurse or tclose operators for a long time.)

As a hobbyist, dealing with load consists of upgrading your $5 VPS to a $10 VPS or even a $50 dedicated server from Hetzner(!) - note that *no* other provider has dedicated servers at this price point.

WAFs are heuristics at best. If what you're running on your server is actually secure, you don't need a WAF. If it's not secure, the WAF is guaranteed to let through at least one attack.
