Today's JD needs anti-repair policies, subscription pricing, and closed source code

Is JD being evil or are they just bowing to competitive pressure? At a certain point the question becomes hard to answer. When certain behaviors we'd consider awful have been normalized throughout a sector of society (management in this case), there's always an argument about whether someone can be blamed for "just following orders" or "just implementing standard procedures" etc.
The US would really benefit from a high speed rail network even if it connects just a few hubs imo.
Actual people rarely argue to some kind of platonic ideal.

And the author of the post clearly indicates that he didn't bother to inform this person that he had expertise that he considers relevant. Elsewhere he also kind of shits on using "terms of art". But those "terms of art" are useful shorthand to experts, establishing that both sides are experts and familiar with the field, and more rapidly communicating information with less words.

That strongly makes me suspect that the problem is one of communication.

The author then asserts that the argument from authority makes him dismiss the expert. Well, that's just the fallacy-fallacy[1] and is no more relevant. The expert can still be 100% right and you can be 100% wrong, and they can be using a logical fallacy and all you can really conclude is that they're a bit of a dick about it. You can't ascertain truth.

If you want to have productive discourse with that expert, you might ask yourself why they're being a bit of a dick about it, and if you've done anything to warrant that breakdown in communication on a /social/ level rather than intellectual-technical level. Or the person may just be a dick. And they might still be a dick and be wrong, we can't really tell. But really from reading that paragraph all I gather is that there was certainly a breakdown in communication, and that it reflects negatively on the author that he assumes he's right because of it. And there's a certain amount of hypocrisy apparent in his conclusion.

> many new homes use metal "structured cabling" boxes (which block wifi signal)

Which are not meant to house a wifi access point, these are fine for (wired) network routers and the modem, but if you have this setup, your wireless access point should really be on the ceiling.
One has nothing to do with the other. There's no rule about all broken tools because they can be broken in different ways. What's so difficult about my hypothetical? I laid it all out for you.
My house was built in 1991 and consequently has a hilarious early 90s intercom wired throughout the house, with it being on the never ending TODO list to remove and replace with something reasonable. What is so curious is that even if you want to wire ethernet through the house (and I have to some extent) there aren't readily available decent things to shove on the wall that provide equivalent functionality which you can safely assume will not need replacing in five years. *

The technology ecosystem just doesn't historically mesh well with the physical structure of homes at all. The whole success of Wifi is it allows us to be non committal about things. That we use it to connect TVs and doorbells to the network is really quite insane.

I would like to see something in this space emerge and evolve, but it seems to be fundamentally incompatible with the VC backed tech industry at this point.

* Guess what I'm trying to build.
> If the owner of the train wants to modify the software then there is probably nothing stopping them.

This of assumes that the owner of the train company has the skills to do this. In reality they probably would need outside help and that company might fall foul of copyright issues. (when they are distributing the modified code back to the train company, for example)

But the real problem of course is that all of this code is very likely safety critical. Can they modify it? Probably. Is it a good idea? Not really.
Yep. When I was growing up 15 years ago, my dad wired the house with Cat6. I am now a homeowner and wiring my house with Cat6.

10Gbps at 55m (180ft) is plenty for residential when the top-end residential internet offerings cap out around 1Gbps. Unless you have a buzzing internal network, you are wasting your money going above Cat6/Cat6a imo.

Cat7 is no speed increase over Cat6, only distance and cross-talk improvements. Cat8 is rated at 4x Cat6 for throughput and costs 3x more than Cat6 (~$530 per 1k ft vs $170 per 1k feet).

There's no reason to buy a Lambo if the speed limit is 35 mph.
> We, as a society, have no solution to that.

We definitely do, as evidenced by all the jobs that have been automated over the past 100 years and people who are currently employed.

It’s not like people who manually harvested crops starved to death after tractors. Over history, automation has always created jobs.

Regarding middle class use of robots, I meant that middle classers would chip in and have a neighborhood maidbot. Having 10 households chip in $12.5k every 5 years is definitely doable. And since the robot is automated it could just spend an hour or two a day in each person’s home without any need for intervention. Just walking down the sidewalk between houses doing whatever needs doing. That’s a cool future.

The source above is deflated by CPI, and shows that earnings has been flat compared to pre-pandemic levels. Not great, but not terrible either. Some other sources point out that if you use the PCE deflator instead, earnings are actually up modestly (3% since 2019).

Don't know why you've been downvoted but you raise good points. Record low unemployment doesn't also mean record high QoL.

It's easy to reduce unemployment if you also cut back on welfare while CoL increases, forcing people to take whatever shit jobs they can find just to not become homeless, and voila now you have record low unemployment.
i guess everyone is a little confused about what clean code is. I thought the first example was clean code until author claimed theirs is.
> that (1 / 2.0) is a double.

That is not type inference. 1 has the type int. 2.0 has the type double. Then, 1 gets converted to double. Then the whole expression has the type double. This isn't type inference; this is like saying JavaScript has type inference because it deduces that the expression ('4' - true) has the "number" type (i.e. double precision floating point).

Compare with Haskell, where a numeric literal like 32 has the type (Num a) => a, i.e., it's polymorphic, and the type is actually inferred based on the context it's used in (it could be Int, Integer, Double, Rational, whatever). If you ask it the type at a REPL, it just tells you "32 :: Num a => a", whereas C would tell you that 32 has the type int (if there were a REPL for C).
It wasn’t colonization. It was a partition. Arabs colonized the area first. Then Turks. After the Ottomans were defeated, the British created multiple countries that hadn’t existed before. Arabs were given several: Iraq, Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon. There was also to be a Palestine. Jews were to be given one small piece of the overall territory. Then the Arab countries tried to wipe out Israel and it was only then you had the occupation of what was supposed to become Palestine.

It was similar to the partition of India, which was also something that had only ever existed in that form due to millennia of colonization.
There will definitely be a change, no denying that.

Just like how those towns didn’t exist 20 years ago, they may not exist again 20 years from now.
The other overlooked signal is for most Americans housing is their #1 expense. Rent is spiked, buying costs twice as much as it did before. This is so essential to the average person’s finances that it overshadows every other stat about employment and consumer prices.

Exactly, all revenue goes back to HQ, and then off to somewhere else.

In some cases being part of a large company means the smaller branches that don't barely break even stay open and it's "good" for those towns in boom years.

But as soon as there's an economic downturn, they are the first stores to be closed.
Wages are definitely up, but if you factor in all the price increases of rent and groceries, I don't see how anything is better for the poorest. I've seen fast food places here hiring @ $20-25 an hour - that would maybe be enough to buy a 1 bedroom condo 4 years ago in less expensive areas, but you certainly can't on that salary now, not at current mortgage rates anyway. So they're basically in the same place it seems.

And if we're strictly speaking about the poorest - they also don't have a 401k or retirement savings, so they aren't benefiting from the increase in asset prices.
It may have negative effect on the number of issues/PRs, but can also act as a spam filter and the net effect can be positive.

The proof that it is not wider economic pressures is their profit margin trend:

https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/DE/deere/profit-ma...

Due to advances in software, they saw an opportunity to increase their profit margins.

The question is, are there insufficient businesses that can sell what Deere sells without the restricting software at a lower price? Based on Deere’s success in increasing its profit margins, it seems like the answer is no.

So then the question is why are there insufficient businesses? Is selling what Deere sells so high barrier to entry that a new seller will not try? Is it possible to lower those barriers to entry?

Assuming this story is real, there are several smells

* Colleague writes quite a bit of code, and merges it without anyone reviewing it or providing feedback.

* OP rewrites the code from a colleague without communicating, and again merges it without a review.

* The manager calls a meeting with OP and ask them to revert their changes.

The initial code might have been messy or not, and the refactor might have been a bad or good idea. Nevertheless I think OP is taking away the wrong lesson.
> At some point, you really need to take "past performance is not a guarantee of future results" to heart.

While this is true, I think it’s a better assumption than “this time, we’re just too stupid to change and sit here and starve to death.”

Evidence shows humans as creative problem solvers and I think the trend of people doing more productive things to survive will continue.

There’s a million examples of this. And just look at fast food restaurants and cashiers being replaced by kiosks. Did all the cashiers get fired or starve to death?
Also first sentences is wrong. Human societies had lots of categories than just race.

And that's in the formal economy in India, which employs a small fraction of those employed.

I found this mini-documentary by Polymatter[1] interesting.

For entirely unrelated reasons most Indian firms find 9 to be the optimum number of employees.

We've also had pretty good wage growth, but you'd never know because inflation is outstripping the wage growth so its negative. Which is why I'm puzzled why people keep touting the economy is so awesome. People are making more money, but it sure wouldn't feel like it when everything you buy is vastly more expensive. Even people on social media are talking about how they can't even go for a fast food meal anymore because its gotten too expensive.

Fast food, too expensive. Think about that for a moment.

In some cases, oddly, the intent of a function can actually become clearer when the logic gets stripped of all the bad naming protocols and names for the moving pieces have to be reconstructed from only its actions and contexts.

In a perfect world, this shouldn't be true and the content embedded within those symbols in the source code should be an easy lever towards relatively perfect understanding of both intent and implementation; however, software is a relatively young discipline and this is actually a difficult linguistic problem.

Let's keep in mind that this algorithm isn't in and of itself punishing people. It's just the starting point for a human-led investigation. Isn't that a proper application of technology?

My bigger concern is that any human-led investigation is fair and reasonable and doesn't go hog-wild trying to punish people for minor misunderstandings of the rules and policies that are in place. (Somebody in this thread said that the rules just for how housing allowances can be used are like 80 pages long, so it's probably the case that it's pretty much impossible for any random citizen to know all of these rules)
