It’s a recurring thing because programing at its fundamental level is extremely simple. If you have variables, conditionals and loop/goto you can do anything. It’s pretty easy to learn the basics and get much more empowered than you had any right to be.

Armed with such power, you will build a slow, unreadable and unmaintainable mess, but you don’t know that yet, because it’s all working after all.

But as your lines multiply you begin to misstep on your own code and wonder if there’s a better way to do this. And you then stumble upon data structures, functions, classes, etc.

The self-taught road is always more or less like that.
i work in legacy code over abstraction gives more headaches than having to check manually when you need to change the software and the person who write it isn't in the company in the last five years, because the software is full of constrains that you don't known, and when you need to change something basic the whole software collapse(because of the interdependence of the componentes).
what aspect of the development speed do you feel is faster? i feel like i can write things like

<select name=title><option>Mr.<option>Ms.</select><input name=name><input type=submit>

faster in html than i could in vb6. maybe i'm wrong about that?

you can try it in your url bar: data:text/html,<select name=title><option>Mr.<option>Ms.</select><input name=name><input type=submit>

of course that doesn't give you database integration, but if you just want crud, you can get crud pretty quick out of django's admin

here's a couple of things i've hacked up recently in dhtml which i think wouldn't have been easier in vb6

Agreed, I'd be infinitely less productive if I couldn't use the editor I learned to master in the past 20 years.

A corollary to that would be "pick a company that lets you use your own editor". There's lots of friction from IT departments towards emacs and vim. The package/plugin system is a security nightmare with lots of potential supply chain attacks and more importantly no trusted vendor to blame when something goes wrong.

> Why exactly do you need an enormous car to feel comfortable on a commute?

Someone with a bad back and other chronic pain issues does not just feel every bump, they tear up with pain at every bump.

Someone with those medical issues also can not squat down to get into a compact car or climb up into a truck.

For those people, large, American-made, V8, rear-wheel-drive cars are a blessing.

I do not have those issues, but I know several people who do.
1% is the number I think of as well. I think you should expect up to 5% the first couple years of ownership on existing homes, because the previous owner may have cheaped out on non-cosmetic upkeep. Stuff shows up on pre-purchase inspection but its a 50 page document just letting you know the obvious - a bunch of the stuff in the house is old and may need replacement in the next 5-10 years.

In the first year I ended up having to do 2% of home value in electrical&heating work and then another 5% in siding/insulation/drywall work to mitigate a slow leak.

On the other hand I also found myself taking on 1% of value first year expense moving into new construction in a city where they leave certain things up to the purchaser (window dressing, running electrical for light fixtures) plus nice-to-haves like putting in quiet windows or closet organizers.

Here is a better story about the launch and the conditions afterward s.

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/disaster-a...

One thing that wiki omits is that the foreign observers were not allowed to leave the launch site for several hours and it appears that during this time the entire area was swept by SAR or recovery teams.

Also not noted in Wiki is that the launch took place at 3am, so if everyone was evacuate for safety per the official claim they would have had to have overnight accommodation.

If you disagree with Constitutional disqualification, sell your idea to a sufficient number of people to get the Constitution changed; until then, there are very good reasons that space on the ballot should not be taken up with Constitutionally-barred candidates. More critical on the general than the primary, but enforcing the rule at the primary prevents is to the benefit of the party whose nominee might otherwise be disqualified in the general after the voting in primaries.

My concern is that I need to live a fairly normal life, and I need to work. If I can not eat lunch at a normal time at work, and if I have to get up every 2 or 3 hours all night long to deal with my diabetes, then I can not work a normal job.
There's a balance to strike, right? Some complexity is just for complexity's sake, or out of inexperience or incompetence. But yeah, a lot of it is that the real world is complicated. That's convoluted code is solving for a bug an engineer was woken up at night for.

The moment you adopt service based teams with service based managers, say goodbye to engineers caring about working product. Say hello to cross team meetings and project management every time you want to ship a feature.

It's pure vanity for a startup to think they will become the next AWS by adopting hard service-based contracts between teams.

Seems like a poorly chosen example, since you could simply "lookup" the last bit of the integer to see if it is even or odd, which should be instant for any integer?
Very interested in this too.. not clear at what point something like Postgres will become necessary.

Just writing a simple hello world in node/express downloads a gazillion dependencies and code that'll all be points of failure or mystery for lack of understanding. To understand them all to be able to write non trivial stuff is likely no different from doing httpd in c on Linux.

I've done stuff in go and it makes it lot easier to code.

So your argument is that the tool running remotely as a service somehow makes it different from one running on your local computer?

So if someone copies the contents of a novel into Google Docs, Google is liable for their copyright infringement, but if they paste it into Word running on their computer, all of the liability is on them?

At what point does the liability shift? What if all of the functionality is implemented in JavaScript in the browser, rather than running on someone else's server?

What if they run all but the last layer of the model on the server, then finish the computation locally?

I don't think the situation is nearly as cut and dry as you make it out to be.
The author makes assumptions (rate of loss of energy per unit distance is same) but doesn't justify them.
https://archive.is/KcfaJ
I don't think they were saying solar is useless, but you underestimate how difficult it is to change peak load. Well a good start is actually smart systems within homes, for instance to avoid heating said home when nobody is present, or timing loads like car charging and dishwashers to be on that beat. That's great, but it's been proven these smart systems are very hard to roll out, no matter how much you try to say it's cheaper in the end. Well you can ignore all this and roll out significant pricing changes to coincide with peek production anyway, and quickly be met with two problems. The first are the people who say "fossils were better my energy was cheaper", good luck there. And you will also hear a large number of people say "well this is just a further tax against the poor who can't afford these systems, nice work, joe.", and honestly, they'd be right. A big thing we need if we want this energy transition to go well is a more local view, but also we could have solutions that don't depend on daylight to ease that transition.

Anyway, don't know where I was going with this but those are my two cents.

> "bloat" despite being capable of running on a 486

The worst bloat is structural and involves network round-trips, usleep(10000) calls, etc that can't be removed due to expectations that have thoroughly baked themselves into an ecosystem. No amount of Moore's law can make usleep(10000) faster.

I don't know if that applies to X, but I have vivid memories of learning how to tunnel X sessions only to find that VLC was faster and more responsive while using less bandwidth on extremely simple UIs. Something in that protocol had become so shamefully suboptimal that it lost a box drawing contest to pixel pushing, and I tend to suspect there is more where that came from.
Customs is only barely about checking for prohibited items. It's primarily about collecting the proper revenue for goods. The US isn't very protectionist so customs is extremely loose. In Mexico they are far more concerned about collecting revenue from customers of US businesses so the customs is more thorough. Based on my experience importing there's about a 2-3% chance any sort of inspection is done at all and that's generally just cursory to compare with the stated manifest classification. Not a search for contraband.

Honestly my skepticism of AI has only increased over time. It's interesting to hear such an early early take, on AI as ascendant but needing a lot of human direction to take off, to really rise.

It feels to me like computing has been in such a long long long world of putting itself above consumers, of appliance-ization/apllicationization of computing where nerds (like me) built totalistic software, software with the pretense of knowing what users want & serving them totally.

The whole Engelbartian vision of Augmenting Intellect has been such an afterthought. Computers are prescribed tools for doing certain things, not holistic machines we can drive further with. This distinction, prescribed versus holistic, is what Ursala Franklin pointed out in her Technological Society ideas.

Here it's so interesting and compelling a tale to me to hear Lick talking about augmentative computing being a bridge into a further beyond. How can AI hope to fulfill its potential when human computer symbiosis has been so ignored, left derelict, been so ignored, at the behest of corporations who make such massive profit infantailizing & making helpless society in the face of technology, giving them forever easier to use better serving options, forever stunting society from ever rising and adapting and growing?

We have been too well served to ever have to pursue the grander challenge of Augmenting Intellect, and in my view the prospects for AI must be ever so much diminished for this forever non-development of symbiosis, for humankind being ever better served without ever improving it's faculties one iota.

Solar and wind are now much cheaper than alternatives, even without subsidies. E.g. it is cheaper to build a new solar farm and switch over to it than to continue using an existing coal plant.

The only reason massive subsidies for renewables continue is to accelerate build-out to address the looming climate catastrophe. We need to ramp up to building out a TW of new renewable capacity every year.

The Atari ST came with a 6x6 font, including spacing: https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/876150/atari_st_6 - 5x5 means no compromises required for upper case letters, which are all readable, and punctuation is intelligible. The liberties taken with lower case are probably acceptable.

(Been years since I saw this font in situ so I'm not sure what it'd look like if you have two adjacent rows of text! Probably mostly OK, but I bet some letters would meet. The ST's OS used this font for icon labels, so there was always a gap.)
I’m from Iceland, but not very knowledgeable about medieval Iceland (let alone medieval Icelandic diet), however, I was always under the impression that dairy played a massive role in people’s average day diet. Particularly sheep and goat milk which was fermented into cheese, skyr, kefir, etc. Bread and beer was brewed just like in the rest of Europe (excluding Norse Greenland). Rich farms had cows off course.

Meat and fish was hardly ever consumed, mostly around the holidays, but otherwise preserved and consumed in tiny portions.

I was also under the impression that Þorri is a relatively recent holiday (at least in its reincarnated form) being reintroduced in like the 19th century. But I will give you that the 19th century was probably one of the hardest and one of the more impoverished centuries in the history of Iceland.

Would there be a difference if I hand drew it? Is me describing the movie in the context of my social issue considered copyright infringement because it is a compressed memory?

That's something I've noticed: the way we treat systems developed to work on data is _completely_ different from systems developed to work on, idk, oil.

You can build data refineries (ETF) same as an oil refinery. The difference is, the engineers who build the oil refinery create manuals and standard operating procedures to operate the refinery, because if they don't, then the new board operator will press the wrong button and blow out every window in a five-mile radius.

When you build a data refinery, no one documents _anything_ no matter how many times you ask engineers on the team to do it. Will it blow up in a massive fireball if you do it wrong? No, but it will corrupt data and have a business consequence. You can keep the 40 different microservices for the data refinery in your head though, right?
