This style mimics how I think, but my thinking is a disorganized mess. Before giving my thoughts to somebody else, I usually consider them, sort them, and put them into a form that is easier for somebody else to understand. Usually, this includes a reread and editing.

I agree that this writing style mimics thought. I don't want to read disorganized thoughts, though. It's not a huge issue, because the length of this piece is quite short, but if I were to do several minutes of reading this style of writing, I would find it very exhausting, and I probably wouldn't retain most of it, because the lack of organization inhibits my ability to fully internalize it. Most of my disorganized thoughts that I don't really mull over (ie. thinking the same thoughts repeatedly in different orders, and considering many different aspects of them) or organize into a written form, I also don't retain. I lose them forever. If I was sharing them with somebody else, I don't think I'd keep them in the format that's most easily forgotten.

For personal journaling, it's fine enough, but I don't find it really a compelling write-up of the age-old premise "Don't overthink it, just get started. If you overthink it, you might never finish, or might even never really start." It's not really much different from the famous "Shitty First Drafts" paper[0].

Now that's a better question! My verdict is no, but I could see where people might disagree.

This is a much harder hypothetical, though. Assuming you get everything right, you'd have a pretty powerful simulation at-hand. I think what you're describing is the difference between an artificial lung and a real-life cloned sheep embryo, though. An iron lung is only alive in the sense that it simulates a complex biological process with technology. It's damn impressive and very capable, but living respiration looks and behaves differently. Just simulating the desired input and output won't give you de-facto biology.
It's just hard, and there's no single answer.

In Zephyr, we have a synchronous printk() too, as for low-level debugging and platform bringup that's usually desirable (i.e. I'd like to see the dump from just before the panic please!).

For production logging use, though, there is a fancier log system[1] designed around latency boundaries that essentially logs a minimally processed stream to a buffer than then gets flushed from a low priority thread. And this works, and avoids the kinds of problems detailed in the linked article. But it's fiddly to configure, expensive in an RTOS environment (you need RAM for that thread stack and the buffer), depends on having a I/O backend that is itself async/low-latency, and has the mentioned misfeature where when things blow up, it's usually failed to flush the information you need out of its buffer.

[1] Somewhat but not completely orthogonal with printk. Both can be implemented in terms of each others, mostly. Sometimes.
It's interesting how many issues are actually urban vs rural that manifest as blue vs red with some outliers. And how the difference is always talked about in a partisan way but rarely in an urban/rural way.
Sure, but now you have to rewrite your code to accept a ValidatedPosition as input and not two floats. In Rust that might be "zero cost", but in Python it certainly is not, even if you implement all this in Cython. And even in the context of a Cython/Rust/whatever extension, what if this is calling a BLAS function or some other external procedure that has specific preconditions?

It's usually fine to use the type state pattern as described by sibling commenters, but sometimes it's expensive or infeasible.

Another situation is less related to performance and more related to managing dynamic state. Consider the following annoyance that arises when we try to attach static types to an old-school Python idiom:

class AppClient:
def __init__(self, url: str, http_client: httpx.Client | None = None) -> None:
self.url = url
self.http_client = httpx.Client() if http_client is None else http_client
self._auth_token: str | None = None

def login(self) -> None:
self._auth_token = ...

def _post(self, body: dict[str, Any]) -> None:
self.http_client.post(
self.url, headers={"Authorizaton": f"Bearer {self._auth_token}"}, json=body
)

def submit_foo(self, foo: Foo) -> None:
self._post(foo.to_dict())

Users will end up with a difficult-to-debug auth failure if they forget to call `login` first. Also, Mypy won't catch this without contorting your code.

We naturally would want to add a test case like this:

def test_error_if_not_logged_in():
app_client = AppClient(url="https://api.example.net/v1")
with pytest.raises(RuntimeError):
app_client._post({})

Thus we'll need to guard every single usage of `self._auth_token` with:

if self._auth_token is None:
raise RuntimeError(...)

And there are three usual approaches for handling this:

1. Disregard the article's advice and push the "if" down, into the _post method, to ensure that we only actually need to write that guard condition once.

2. Write a _check_logged_in method that encapsulates the if/raise logic, use that to at least make it easier to apply the guard where needed.

3. Refactor the internals to use something akin to the type state pattern, which is a funky and cool idea that I support. But it could easily end up turning into an "enterprise fizzbuzz" exercise where your little client library expands into a type-driven onion that obfuscates the business logic.

I'm proposing a 4th way:

4. Declare that _post may only be called from inside a specific dynamic context, and ensure that that dynamic context is only established by login().

Is it better? I'm not sure. But I've never seen it before, and it's kind of appealing as I continue to think about it.

I used Dreamweaver significantly back in the day, and use Figma professionally today. I see what you're saying, but there's no question about them being equivalent in functionality, except insofar as I do not consider generated code from either of them particularly useful. In that respect they are the same, but in every other way Figma is 100 times better.

Why? Even with the worst condition which will realistically happen to earth in the next 100+ years, it will be still a better environment than Mars. Anything we might do on Mars, can be better done on Earth. And when shit hits the fan on Mars, which will happen once or twice, you are grounded there, without any realistic help available. And in the best case, you are there with the guy who wasted Twitter for memes, probably as as your leader. How is that desirable?

Double click has largely went away, yes. I see double click in desktop file managers still but it's mostly gone elsewhere. It never became a thing on touch screens because it's not discoverable (which is why it's not great on desktop either) and it's very rare to see in web interfaces. Related:

I think you're missing the point. If you struggle with ADHD / executive dysfunction, there is a material benefit to measuring by those in that kind of job. Ultimately it is not that you're at a normal baseline and these things just make you do more busy work, it's that you struggle to keep up with so many competing priorities and demands that you end up dealing with none of it. So yes, for this purpose, that measure is worthwhile in this case.

People are struggling to get by. Overworked, underpaid, lonely.

Parenting is an extremely draining and time-consuming job.
Many households can not afford to have a parent stay home to do the full-time job of running the house and overseeing that the children's needs are fulfilled.

I'm not surprised to see shortcuts like this rise in popularity, however reprehensible.

If we want to turn these kinds of trends around in the Western world, we need to start by focusing on fixing our broken culture, and allowing the average parent the time, financial security, and social connections to cultivate a meaningful, fulfilling life. You'll get an increase in children's well-being as a downstream effect for free.

Less focus on work, less financial distress, more social services, more volunteering, more community building, etc.

I have the stressless recliner, standing desk, single large monitor, monitor arm to tilt my monitor towards me since I'm reclined, ergo split keyboard which I rest on the arms of the recliner, and a small table right next to my recliner where I put my trackball mouse, phone, and water. The standing desk isn't necessary, it's just what I've had all these years, but it's nice to precisely adjust the height of the desk based on comfort. The monitor arm is key so that my monitor remains parallel to me. Imagine sitting in a normal office chair, the monitor would be vertical - since I'm reclined, I need to tilt it accordingly.

I don't think this is about flexibility. It's more about culture. Software engineering culture does not value simplicity, and actually seems to value complexity. Other engineering cultures place a lot more value on simplicity, and its associated values of reliability and risk mitigation.

A civil engineer can build you that building, but they will think "what a ridiculous architect." With a software engineering mindset, they would happily build that building for you, and invent a new type of concrete mixed with titanium flakes to do it for you. And then they will go on a decades-long campaign about how titanium-flake-concrete is the Next Big Thing and that anyone using normal concrete is a simpleton.
can you elaborate? What did they actually do to the left leg?
The tic-tac-toe example really makes it clear that oh — this works by plagiarism. Until you see that one, it's kind of easy to forget.
A few important things to consider:

Lumping all of the medications in question into a single study is disingenuous, and seems biased towards concluding their ineffectiveness.

All three of the drugs in question have different mechanisms of action, which means that they will have a different effect on people with different brain chemistry. My read here is that if everyone takes all three and a placebo, performance may be enhanced in one case, but the remaining three cases can make the study come across as conclusive that on the whole, this course of treatment is ineffective.

Not a lot of detail on the placebo and why it performs so much better, but I'm curious about the "nocebo" effect and subjects' prior exposure to the non-placebo dosage. In other words, is the feeling of being on a new "smart" drug too distracting to successfully take the test in question for the first time?

The sample size is incredibly small at only 40 people, and skewed in terms of population. These were self-selecting individuals who responded to campus advertisements. This has been the modern critique of psychological experimentation in academia for decades, and I find it a little disparaging that we still have to suffer through it. I wish the HRB would ban things like campus advertisements as a means of recruiting test subjects -- we all really ought to know better by now.

While the sequencing of studies on each individual helps to avoid some amount of sequence-based confounding variables, and the spacing of seven days between studies allows for a pretty decent return to homeostasis, the number of study participants is still too low to be conclusive. I'd need to see this study get repeated numerous times, at a larger scale, over individuals with a more consistent neurological history to be considered conclusive.

I don't entirely buy the efficacy of working on individuals without any history of psychotropic medication or illicit drug use -- remember that this will rule out participants who have taken things like fluoxetine -- ruling out nearly 20% of adults in many countries -- or slightly skirted Australia's drug laws. These are people answering an ad on a college campus, likely for compensation. I don't think it's likely that all the subjects truthfully self-reported.

If anything I'd expect the neurological variability of a fully unscreened or undiagnosed population to make it really truly hard to measure these drugs effectiveness. Given the mechanisms of action, I'd expect that the likely 20% of subjects with undiagnosed depression and additional likely 5% of individuals with undiagnosed ADHD would really throw a wrench in any conclusive numbers.

I'm not trying to say that smart drugs are the answer to performing better at work. In fact, I'd expect a good night of sleep to make a bigger bump in these kinds of test scores. But I found the BPS is really jumping to conclusions based on what looks to me like very flimsy evidence.

Testing on people is hard, but publishing summaries of articles that don't entirely stand on their own and drawing authoritative conclusions is incredibly easy.

The thing is, stuff that require hard realtime cannot satisfy with "many cycles to spare for misses". And CPU cycles is not the whole story. A badly made task could lock down the kernel not doing anything useful. The point of hard realtime is "nothing cannot prevent this critical task from running".

That is the point of the study, but in my non-scientific opinion it seems like a very poorly crafted study.

Nobody is going to have issues with attention/motivation during the one, short task they were assigned at some study. It's a very novel, motivating environment.

And then of course if you're feeling the effects of a new drug, you'll be "off" a bit.

I have discussions with cow-orkers around logging;

"We have Best-Effort and Guaranteed-Delivery APIs"

"I want Guaranteed Delivery!!!"

"If the GD logging interface is offline or slow, you'll take downtime; is that okay?"

"NO NO Must not take downtime!"

"If you need it logged, and can't log it, what do you do?"

These days I just point to the CAP theorem and suggest that logging is the same as any other distributed system. Because there's a wikipedia article with a triangle and the word "theorem" people seem to accept that.

[edit: added "GD" to clarify that I was referring to the guaranteed delivery logging api, not the best effort logging API]
