> If you dismiss any sentimental value, then it doesn't really matter, but real life is a lot messier than that.

I agree and in cases where sentimental value is a real concern I think there are obvious problems with this sort of system. But I also think there are a lot of domains where this isn't really a concern such as patents.

> The classic example is the poor person who inherits a nice house but can't pay the inheritance tax (and/or subsequent propery taxes), and is thus forced to sell the house in order to pay the taxman.

This is an entirely separate issue but this also seems entirely solvable in our current system of inheritance tax. You should just inherit the original cost basis along with the asset. So if you don't want to sell your inherited house you don't have to. But if you do then your taxes should be paid based on the original cost basis.

It’s a real shame that stories like this are essentially impossible now. It’s impossible for a French person to just meander over to the U.S., set up shop for a bit, go to school, and flit between the countries at will. In many ways a French citizen today is lucky because they could at least explore an alternative life living in Belgium or Italy or elsewhere in the EU, but for most people in the world, it’s impossible to leave their home country for anything other than a visit. I mourn for the freedom that earlier generations had to simply uproot and start anew.

No, I've never taught a class, so it's possible that the experience of teaching as a professor would irrevocably change my opinion. However, I have spent a lot of time tutoring math and directing bands and choirs, so I'm familiar with the frustration that comes from explaining concepts and then assigning necessary work with plenty of time to do it and then having people still show up unprepared.

I believe that there is a negative feedback loop in the current model of schooling: unprepared students produce jaded instructors produce unprepared students. The big problem with the current lecture method is that any interruption of the momentum of the course for the students' own personal benefit comes with a social cost, so it's better to just shut up and pretend you know what's going on. Furthermore, many lectures build on themselves, so if you misunderstand a concept at minute 3, by minute 20 you're checked out and by minute 50 you're clock-watching. That's why so many math lectures are silent with the exception of the occasional interjection from a star student.

Combine this with the fact that most students are insufficiently prepared for course material in the first place and you end up with modern STEM college: kids who don't get the material slogging through piles of completion-based assignments and exams and putting in the minimum amount of work to get the degree, after which most get the exact same job they'd have gotten if they'd worked harder anyway. They're almost incentivized against deep examination of any one topic, because all time spent working on one assignment incurs a cost against other assignments, or against leisure.

There are so many issues with the way education works at scale in the first world that going down any pathway would take a thousand words, so I'll sum up by saying that I believe that you have a point, and I also believe that the majority of undergraduates are underprepared, entitled, have underdeveloped work ethics, and lack both the discipline and drive necessary to really get something out of their education. However, I still think that the extreme burn-out classes cause more detriments to higher education than they bring as a whole.

It's a nice idea and I'm glad we can expand the language to differentiate between html web components and javascript web components. That's important because the vast majority of use of web components are in the form of javascript web components. The only time I've ever seen HTML web components are on blog posts talking about how you can use web components. Never on an actual website about something besides web components.

I want to believe... but reality is stacked against HTML web components. I'm just going to stick to HTML and leave the HTML with dashes to others.
We have run into queries that corrupted the database client-side, but fortunately that doesn't propagate into postgres itself. In that case we had to drop the client-side db and resync from a clean state.

The corruption was also caught by sqlite itself - it threw a "malformed disk image" error and stopped responding to any further queries.

Also bugs around syncing some kinds of data - one bug that's already been fixed was that floats without decimal points would not get synced. https://github.com/electric-sql/electric/issues/506

I think that's not the case for Microsoft -- GitHub, Azure, OpenAI, Visual Studio etc. The make lots of money selling Dev Tools.

A thousandfold speedup means going from 1 second to 1 ms. A hundred fold reduction in size means going from a million lines to 10,000 lines.

I'm sure you can find examples where that's possible, but as a general claim, it's utterly implausible.

Will that scale to when, say, 80% of electricity sources are weather dependent? Or is that the pumped hydro / big batteries / future technology stuff?

From my Dutch perspective, American weddings as well as the prestigious ring is astonishing to see. It's like an industry.

When my brother married, they went to the city council and signed a document. Later that night they threw a party in their own garden.

Is PostScript still used in printers?

Someone already mentioned NeXT and NeWS. I loved Solaris and NeXTSTEP when I was in college in the 1990's. At the time every computer lab had an HP printer with built in PostScript. When I got my first job after graduation in 1997 I convinced my new manager to spend $3000 on an HP 5 Si MX with built in PostScript. It was fast and the output looked great.

I've run Linux since 1994 and I remember most programs would create a .ps file but you could use the Red Hat printer config to automatically use GhostScript to convert it and print.

I assume GhostScript converted it to whatever format the cheap $100 printer needed because they couldn't afford PostScript and a separate processor to run it?

These days computers are so fast is there any need for PostScript inside printers?

I found this article saying its still in high end printers but I haven't printed anything at work in 5 years so I don't even know if ours supports it.

Review: The Grand Strategy of the Roman Empire, by Edward Luttwak
Your argument boils down to:

1. Cut military spending

Fine by me. That's an easy spending reduction.

2. Reduce end of life medical spending

In a public sense, sure. But I see no reason to force privately insured or paying patients to die prematurely if it's against their wishes.

> and allow old people to place irrevocable 'when I can't decide for myself anymore off me' status on their medical directives

We already have legal basis for this; no constitutional amendment required. They are called Advance Directives, and a lawyer can help set it up. You get to describe in detail your wishes for care and nominate someone to execute them on your behalf.

3. Tax more

This needs to happen across the board now that we've firmly extended ourselves beyond our means. It should never have been allowed to get so bad.

> and cutting taxes for people who don't need it
> rely on taking most of the income from the middle class who pay the most and don't fight back

Higher income earners will always pay more under the current schedule, but I see no reason to steal all of their money.

> Most middle class families would benefit more from massively subsidized tuition to secondary educational institutes or loan forgiveness than the tax cuts which would pass

We're trying to save money. This talks about spending more by providing education. Thankfully it is unconstitutional for the federal gov to provide education (not that it is currently stopping them).

Additionally, loan forgiveness is massively biased towards the wealthy. Only folks that thought a college degree had more reward than risk pursued them, and forgiving loans only helps those that delay repaying their debt or cannot afford to do so.

The real way to fix education expenses is to remove gov guaranteed loans and push them back to the private sector. Only then will costs come down as students will not be able to get a loan if there is no reasonable chance of repayment.

> We could also fund the IRS more so they can actually go after people who avoid taxes with convoluted schemes and attorneys

If you want to change laws, this is where your focus should be. If it's legal to reduce one's tax burden, then one should. I would argue it's their duty as a taxpayer to do so. Anyone is welcome to donate extra to the IRS. They'll never turn you down.

To be fair: the geopolitical goal wasn't "peace" in the abstract, it was to prevent nuclear weapons from being abused or lost by a failed state.

In hindsight, that was wrong of course. But the logic seemed clear and everyone agreed at the time.

At the end of the day, all programming is CRUD at various levels of abstraction. You read some data, and then create/update/delete various forms of related data in various locations, like your DBMS or maybe a file or your GPU's VRAM

Rails provides a way to approach CRUD via MVC. Controllers are your API. Models are the connection to the Database. Views are what the controllers render.

If your app doesn't do these 3 things - API, Database, and representation of your API - you don't need rails (I bet you do those three things). Other than that, you're free to layer on whatever architecture via ruby that you want on top of these basic rails constructs. If you don't like it, again don't use rails.
