There is a reason accidents are done on a per mile basis, so let's make a quick example to show why.

There is two cars, car A and car B. Each driven by 1000 drivers each year.

Car A: The drivers drive a total 10000 km each year, and 20 people get into one accident each, averaging one accident every 500 km.

Car B: The drivers drive a total 1000000 km each year, and 40 people get into one accident each, averaging one accident every 25000 km.

Which car is safer? According to this opinion piece it's car A. But anyone that has even surface knowledge about statistics would realize that it's car B.

It would take only 500 km in car A for someone to have gotten into an accident on average, while for Car B it would be 25000 km. Drivers of car A are therefore on average 50 times more likely to get into an accident. Statistically, if car A was driven as far as car B, every single driver would have had two accidents each.

Conclusion: It is impossible to reach the conclusion in the title given only accidents per total number of drivers. More data is needed.

God I hope it loses its meaning. Our society has such a fucking bizarre and toxic relationship with sexuality. Sexualizing other people, themselves, even simple nudity scares the shit out of people.

I hope the ability to turn anybody naked with the press of a button forces people to chill the fuck out.

It's possible that age is a hidden variable, certainly, but it's also possible that Saturn, Pontiac, and Mercury are exceptionally low due to selection bias -- as you note, they've all been defunct for a decade at least; this means that every car from those brands still being driven has been in use for at least a decade (presumably longer on average). Since collisions and other accidents (statistically) reduce a car's lifespan, the cars from those brands that are still drivable likely have safer-than-average drivers.

This is probably largely a measure of how much the vehicles are driven.

RAM makes commercial vehicles like trucks and vans, which are driven long distances by drivers on their job, so it ends up near the top of the list even if the accident rate per-mile-driven is low.

Old vehicles are more likely to be driven infrequently (e.g: kept in a pensioner's garage), hence brands that no longer exist like Pontiac, Mercury, and Saturn end up near the bottom.

Proprietary as in, relates only to itself, not compatible with anything other than itself. It's a monolith with no standards. You have to write custom software to make anything work with it. Nothing just works with k8s out of the box, because it provides no loosely coupled standard interface that remains backwards-compatible. It has an API that becomes obsolete every 9 months.

Jenkins and K8s do effectively the same thing. They're both monolithic applications (in K8s' case it's a monolith of microservices, but same difference), both have a manager/worker (formerly master/slave) architecture, both run arbitrary workloads, load secrets, store and retrieve logs from your workload, schedule them to execute on worker nodes that you configure, manage users and permissions, etc, etc. They're functionally extremely similar: distributed centralized systems designed to execute arbitrary tasks. The difference is mostly technical. Ironically, Jenkins is the more flexible of the two, with much more stable interfaces.

People in tech think in terms of cargo-cult imaginary categories, like an "orchestration system" - which isn't a computer science concept. Schedulers are, operating systems are, but "orchestrators" are not. It's a term made up to sell a product, like a configuration management engine (Terraform) or an application workload scheduler (K8s). Very different things that people use the same word ("orchestrator") for because it sounds cooler, but doesn't mean anything.

Why would anyone expect that a highly-context-dependent code snippet (in this case, a test suite written in the testing framework's DSL in a language that they both don't know and is different from the languages they usually write) would be "intuitive"?

Frankly I feel like many programming language discussions are tainted by the participants tying their own intelligence to whether or not they can understand something at first glance (and if they can't, it must "obviously" be the thing that is wrong). This makes about as much sense to me as concluding that my utter confusion when glancing at a page of Portuguese poetry is somehow a problem with the language itself.
I like to think of it as the difference between the cost of objects versus labor. We've managed to make lots of things cheaper (largely by reducing the labor in their creation) but there's plenty of other stuff to soak up a budget in terms of rent, daycare, etc. (And healthcare too, but that's... well, full of uniquely broken stuff.)

I don't know if I would call them patent trolls per se, since some patent troll companies' business model is just trying to win patent lawsuits, but if you go to battle and the overwhelming majority of your patents are invalidated when put under any level of scrutiny then you're still being shady. Literally 95% of Masimo's infringment claims (98 of 103) have already been invalidated in this case. They're building products but they're also abusing the patent system.

This is endemic though, I don't think Masimo is especially unique here, companies often encourage filing frivolous patents.

Copyright covers derivative works.

There was an interesting weird area of copyright law that comes up every few years; early Sherlock Holmes are in the public domain, but not the final Sherlock Holmes stories [but maybe now? It's been a few years].

So it was legal to create a derivative work based on the early stories, like a movie or your own sequels or whatever, but if you referenced the final canon works, the estate would have you.
> But... it's still not easy enough for non-nerds to get onboard.

I made several attempts to get onboard with Mastodon about a year ago when I stopped using Twitter. I used a tool to copy over as many people I follow on Twitter to Mastodon.

Technically, it's fine. The issue I have is that it felt exactly the same as Twitter, and I always disliked Twitter.

However, Twitter had reached a network effect threshold where most of the news in my industry was shared exclusively there, so I was... well not quite forced, but strongly compelled to use it.

Mastodon doesn't have this. It's just noise and thoughtless hot takes, much like Twitter, but without most of the news I used to use Twitter for. I hope it doesn't become another Twitter where I feel compelled to wade through the mess to get my industry news.

To sum up: for me the reason I don't use Mastodon is not technical. It's because it feels useless and I dislike it. I had hoped for a more thoughtful arena of public discourse, but Mastodon is not it. All the interesting tech aside, it's just a Twitter clone using different technology.

> Sorting and Wage Inequality: Stronger sorting contributes to wage inequality. High-skill workers employed by highly productive firms tend to earn substantially more, while low-skilled workers at less productive firms earn less.

This is not wage inequality because these are not equal things. More productive employees are not equal to less productive ones. Productive men are not equal to less productive (article's words not mien) women. If 2 different things are not equal, then there is no inequality.

> Therefore, stronger sorting contributes to widening the gap between high and low earners.

The gap between labor and labor is insignificant compared to the gap between labor and capital.
Honestly, I think both Python and Ruby have a subpar gradual typing story.

The problem is that Python type hints are not enforced at runtime. They can can not be trusted. You have to rely on external type checkers that are relatively slow and different checker might give you different results.

Probably the only mainstream backend-language getting gradual typing right is PHP. Yes, good old PHP. Dead simple type system, no productivity-sucking compile step like in Typescript, actual runtime enforcement of types contrary to Python and great static linting.

Though PHP is also a fair bit less expressive and dynamic compared to both Python and Ruby so it can get away with an much simpler type system. Then again, as someone who has to work with many legacy systems, sometimes I am very grateful for the lower expressiveness.

In the past, being able to discern truth from lies would be the difference between life and death for most individuals. Still today, there are professions and activities, where you will be killed or seriously injured if you don't understand the difference between truth and lies. That is in contrast to a lot of academia, politics, online message boards and other purely inter-personal stuff, where truth is what the majority or the most active group decides it is, because it doesn't matter so much.

Separating truth from lies is something every one of us as a human have to do, and that we can't outsource with complete confidence to anybody else. Credentials are one of the last factors that should be weighed when determining truth vs lies.

> The fact that finished code looks great and reads well doesn't balance the scales in my book.

IMO this is because software engineers both get bored and feel a need to compete. The more abstract they can make code the better (more safe?) they feel. That lets them play chess on their terms and eliminate the competition. But that's just my take, I may be wrong. Fortunately the most commonly used gems wrap this abstraction into usable APIs, and most have good documentation.

While this can be correctly attributed to ruby or the devs in its ecosystem, I've been on teams with staff using other languages and stacks that let their completion/anxiety fly making it hard to read and understand their code. I guess my point is it's a good critique, but it falls beyond the meta programming in ruby.
>most implementations in C switch between several nearly-identical code blocks depending on how steep the line is

...which the code in this blog post avoids by defining words that compare dx with dy and return pointers to the "short" and "long" coordinate? You could do the same in C or most other languages.

The problem is that in other languages, a Sufficiently Advanced Optimizer™ could at least in theory analyze the source code, and then emit those nearly-identical code blocks, whereas Forth is more like a platform-independent macroassembler: there is no zero-cost abstraction, every word you write in the source code will result in some predetermined machine instructions being executed (and usually with extra interpreter overhead).

Actual assembly code seems less confining, since at least you have a few different registers and addressing modes to play with, rather than just a stack.

I still kind of like the idea of Forth, but pretty much agree with this article: http://yosefk.com/blog/my-history-with-forth-stack-machines....
3D printers are great general motion platforms! I'm a big fan of things like this, which re-purpose cheap printers in new ways. I've had fun adding a pen to mine to turn it into a plotter, or strapping on a camera with a high-magnification lens for stacking images of small objects.
You are right about cramming things into bits. But it often makes code more complicated.

Eg if you have two operations you do one after another and they have time-outs of t1 and t2, then normally, you know that after t1+t2, either both will have succeeded, or they will have failed.

But that breaks down with the 'C-conventions' when either t1 or t2 equals 0. Thus you need extra logic to deal with these.

As an aside: OCaml uses tagged pointers to cram more information into machine words. That's an implementation technique, and (mostly) hidden from users of the language. (Apart from integers having 63 bits, instead of 64 bits size by default.) So that's an example where the language is 'clean', but the implementation is still efficient and uses all the low level tricks.

And my pet peeve is more that many people always do this trickery, even when not every bit counts.

> It's not just C people :D - Zero may or may not be a natural number depending on who you ask, and negative numbers definitely are not.

Yes, but I never mentioned any restriction to Natural numbers. Btw, in the context of computers 0 is definitely a number that comes natural, even if it's not a Natural number by some people's definition.
