You haven't stated your position, which highlights your side-stepping of revealing what kind of evidence you'd need to change your mind.

You refer to 'Mark' a lot - are you aware we don't know the author's name?

Comparing that work to actual historians of the time does that work no favours at all. Generally (at least the ones we have the most trust in) were identifying themselves, identifying their sources, writing about contemporary events, and so on.

It's unsurprising the mistake in Mark is repeated, slightly modified, in Matthew, given the way the latter lifted much of the former.

You're writing a lot of words to try to rationalise this one fairly trivial mistake. A simpler explanation exists - whoever wrote Mark wasn't familiar with the area, did not have access to maps (unsurprising), was not referring to any earlier source material, etc.

If you're relying on etymologies around via to provide legitimacy to this story, I'd suggest your complaints that I'm not providing substantive evidence in neatly tied up packages are disingenuous.

I don't believe you're sincere in your research, but on the off-chance I'll reiterate my recommendation for Fitzgerald's three-book work, Mything in Action.

If you find the material insufficiently detailed then his bibliography is a good place to pursue your search for points of view orthogonal to your beliefs.

> The easiest way to get fuck you money is to reduce your consumption.

If you work at a very high paying job in finance or at a place like Google or FB, I might agree with this. Some people in those groups make a lot and spend a lot (sometimes more than they make).

For people with more modest salaries, I think that this is tragically wrong for fuck you money, but probably right for relatively modest “nest egg” money.

There is a limit to how much a person can gain by cutting, but that same person is essentially uncapped in earning potential.

The easiest way to get fuck you money is to start a business that solves business problems. Knowing sales, business operations, and tech is a relatively easy way to access this market. Not easy overall, but relatively easy compared to other options that lead to fuck you money.

Lovers of modern classical music have been trying to sell it to the mainstream for a century and failed. 100 years after Bach, Mozart, Beerhoven, Brahms, Saint-Saens, Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev and others wrote their seminal works, the audiences got them; in most cases they got them as soon as they came out or within a few years.

Schoenberg and his followers are dancing to a different tune, and that’s fine for them, but at this point it’s pretty clear that they will at best be remembered for their tangential effects on composers of actually beloved music.
It's going to be pretty hard to heat soak a 911 to get it down on power. They're proper sports cars designed to hit the track.

The shenanigans was simply in choosing that car at all. A base 911 only claims a 0-60 of 4s and doesn't even break 400hp. It's never been a straight line car, that's not what it's trying to do or why enthusiasts love it.
I got turned on to Schoenberg as a teenager listening to his string quartets, though I never dug too deeply. As a punk rocker who was really into free jazz, his music spoke to me much more than other 'classical' composers. There's a great performance with Glen Gould and Yehudi Menuhin performing Phantasy for Violin and Piano (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AABQYAPK_Ek) Gould defends Schoenbergs compositions, Menuhin dislikes them for all the reasons most people do, and admits he is only playing it because he respects Gould so much. One of Gould's points is that the piece is specifically composed for violin - no other instrument could play it, whereas Bach pieces can be rearranged for any instrument. Bach is composing music in an abstract sense but Schoenberg is composing to the specific capabilities of the instrument.
There's another great monologue from Gould enumerating why Mozart was a "bad" composer, which I love to cite whenever I have to defend my dislike for the child genius.
Thank you - it’s great to have an alternative to electric-sql.

Palestinian children are unimportant? The conflict is a humanitarian crisis. We are directly funding it and providing the munitions for Israel to kill civilians. We don’t even need to be heavy handed. We just need to pull the plug on support.

If by losing side you mean Israel, then yes I agree they have not acted in good faith for decades. Or do you think Israel killing 20k+ civilians, failing to achieve their military objectives, and Hamas being in a stronger position than ever is Israel winning?
>> For 99% of software businesses, the tech can cause the business to fail but its almost never what makes the business succeed. Things like customer development and sales are actually far more important.

I STRONGLY disgree with your take as a universal take. At the pre-Seed stage, the technology is the only thing. Without that, you dont have a technical business. You just have a pitch deck.

Of course, once you prove out the idea and reach product market fit, that enables you to either have cashflow or raise funding -- so technology becomes less critical because you can use the $ to hire technologists.

If "mapping market demand to technical products" was really the money printer, every management consultant would be running a unicorn. Every MBB consultant would have a side startup. You actually need the technical product, or some MVP of it, to map a market demand to it, to do demos, to raise funding. If you dont, you just have a pitch deck. Sure, if you can raise on a pitch deck, that is winning, but how many can?
Well put. Also, Vladimir Nabokov famously did not like music, or perhaps more accurately, was completely indifferent to it. I've never heard this ascribed to a medical condition. And I've met one or two people in my life who claimed not to like music.

If it is really heavy - they have a dedicated hauler truck.

If something medium - a van could tow.

On European highways it is common to see van like Mercedes sprinter full of goods and also towing a car carriage with something huge like WV Passat.
Your product could be boring and useless except to a niche audience, but still a great business opportunity. In that case, people will only work on it for the money, and that is fine. Some ideas are simply harder to sell to potential employees:

“We’re making the world a better place through paxos algorithms for consensus protocols.”
“We’re making the world a better place though software defined data centers for cloud computing.”
“We’re making the world a better place through canonical data models to communicate between end points.”
“We’re making the world a better place through scalable, fault tolerant distributed databases with acid transactions.”

SafeGraph's Disingenuous Claims About Location Data (2022)
Ha, thanks for refreshing my memory that it was 5.5 that added OOP!

I started with 4.0, so that's my baseline. Then 5.0 added overlays (IIRC) and 6.0 introduced Turbo Vision, which was a kind of magic to me :).

It's interesting how a _programming language/IDE_ can bring such warm feelings.
Totally agree. Insipid. No real insights, nuances or ideas.
Well this is sticking your head in the sand about it.

People own trucks because while trucks might not be particularly good at some things, they're also not particularly bad at them. If you need to move large or heavy items occasionally, it's really handy having a truck...and the thing is, it won't be bad at doing car things either.

To the specific example here, you also have the obvious missing part: people are having to drive from home to the parking lot, to catch the bus to the site. The failure is pretty obvious.

Pile onto that that most construction workers generally have to assume that they might need to use the truck for work sometime, and it's an obvious purchase: you can't afford two cars, but you can afford one slightly more expensive one that will be as good at everything you need as a smaller one.

People complain about trucks without even trying to understand where the motivation to own them comes from.

This looks like AI-buddhism, a "fork" of buddhism rewritten by an uber-LLM of the future, in which it will discard everything it cannot relate to. To such an AI, the only internal process is a sequence of words, and nothing is thinkable outside such a sequence.

However, we can imagine images, shapes and sounds, indescribable in words, and even higher there are abstract ideas that can't be expressed with images or sounds, let along with words.

The "thoughts from without" may appear for a multitude of reasons, because our minds aren't isolated systems. The source may be some sensory input that triggered a memory, and I wouldn't even reject the possibility, that brains can react to background electromagnetic noise and form thoughts based on it.

>> The other parts of the business are labor as well. Products don't magically go to market. Business models don't magically create and evolve themselves.

You are right, but it is about which labor comes first. The first labor is taking 100% of the risk without others taking any risk. Others have all upside and no downside. They have a free-option for the upside as the technologist does all the upfront work.

The issue is that not every snapshot of a source file is intended to be committed as-is.

So it really depends if you're testing code or committing it. When you're debugging something locally, warnings like "unused parameter" or "dead code" become extremely annoying as errors. I need to be able to put "return 0;" in the middle of my function and run it as-is without having to battle the toolchain for five minutes after that every damn time.

> I can't change jobs now due …having specialized in dead tech.

Then don’t do that?

I’ve been working professionally for 27 years and have been aggressive about keeping pace with technology. I saw what happened first hand when I didn’t between around 2002-2008 and I said it would never happen again.

For reference: I didn’t know “cloud” from a hole in the wall at 44 years old and I got my first and hopefully last job in BigTech at 46 working at AWS in the ProServe department (where I got PIPed see my top level comment)

It is completely irresponsible for anyone in tech especially with a family to not always keep themselves employable and depend on the whims of thier current employer to support their families addiction to food, clothing and shelter.

And how does a disability preclude you from getting a remote job?

And if you “can’t job hop”, would you not look for another job if you got laid off or fired or would you just give up and be on the street - homeless and hungry?

> Just picking up responsibilities doesn't mean you'll get rewarded.

I’m always rewarded for picking up additional responsibilities - if not by the current company by the next. It’s what allows me to aggressively job hop with a family and not be stuck with dead technologies on my resume.
One can never practically evaluate it on all possible inputs/prompts, so an understanding of the training data distribution is important to generate the right test queries and create guardrails for desired use cases.
A university switched from one webshit to another. Hacker News eagerly shared their opinions on race and politics. No technology was discussed.
I looked through a bit of the companies here and I don’t see any companies that have to retain a quality system and staff to stand behind their products permanently. These models seem to work better when you can just put stuff out there and occasionally pop in to help?

This is not a model that can work with regulated medical products. There is a very significant cost to maintaining static artifacts and I don’t see how you can defensively do that if anyone can access the artifacts?

The door close button: Yeah, you're right. I was thinking of the lobby call buttons. Ignore that I said anything about that. (Of course the button is still wired up, it just only works in fire service mode in those cases)

As far as crosswalks go: Yeah, on major intersections where light cycling is guaranteed to happen all day, the button may not accelerate the change. But that doesn't apply to "lonely crosswalks", and I bet that same button will work in the middle of the night if the cross-street happens to die off during those hours. I caveated that in my comment.

>> That said, there are plenty of very smart, driven, people who are not software engineers who don't think of a technical co-founder that way. So it'd be wrong to paint with a super wide brush on this.

Agree, I think business co-founders can add tremendous value. But that value needs to be shown -- upfront. Otherwise, why would any technologist sink hundreds of hours on a mere promise? Business co-founders should have already drawn out solutions, spoken to customers, perhaps gotten conditional sales POs from friends/contacts, raised funding, set up VC meetings, etc.

But a Business co-founder who hasnt done any of these, and just wants the upside after a bunch of technical work is done, isnt the type of Business co-founder you want.
OTOH if all the variations are interesting games in their own right, the family is quite brilliant.

for (int i = 0; i < 1024; ++i) myVec[i] = new float(0);

There were no `delete`s or `free`s anywhere in the codebase. I asked him what he was thinking and his response was: (1) it's not a server, and I know there's enough room on the computer; and, (2) the OS will free all of the memory for me, anyways.

That's a strange thing to conclude.

If the grocery store wanted to charge me 10 cents per visit for the air I breathe, I would have fundamental issues with that, but I'd still probably pay. And I'm far more motivated by emotion than a publicly traded company.

Of course i don't have the specifics of your usual configuration. But usually this mostly a configuration problem. Dev builds usually don't have -Werror turned on ( or have a very easy way to turn Werror off). In most project i worked on, Werror is informance on the release, and continious test builds.

But i do agree that Werror on the code/build/test cycle sound like a pain.

I doubt any potential customer of this monstrosity will ever go up or down a dirt hill.
Usually the critical features are somewhat "air-gapped". For example, I can restart my Model X computer, the screen will turn black 100%, and many key functions still work.

None of the computers that are required to drive the car actually turn off when you reboot the computer that drives the dash/console display.
Crosswalks in busy areas shouldn't have buttons and should allow pedestrian crossings automatically as part of the cycle. In less dense areas, buttons should change the light more or less immediately to allow pedestrian crossing. Neither of these scenarios are usually the case since these intersections are almost always designed with cars as the paramount concern and pedestrians as an afterthought.

I recently visited Bellevue, WA and experienced one of the most anti-pedestrian "walking streets" I have ever encountered. Crosswalk buttons on a busy street full of shops and restaurants, yes, but even worse were the orange flags left out for pedestrians to grab and use like they are part-time crossing guards. No stop signs. No speed bumps. Just orange flags for the suckers walking instead of driving. To add insult to injury, the flags always ended up on one side of the street, making the entire project half-broken at best.

The worst part: this is their literal Main Street.
