He's been talking about the problems/solutions around Wave for a while. Every time I can't help but think if they'd just started with C# or Java, maybe Go or Rust, they'd be in a better position.

Here's what I see them as providing:

- Simple async, no wasted CPU on I/O

- Strong typing defaults

- Reliable static analysis

Half of the "pros" he lists for using GraphQL are just provided out of the box using ASP.NET Core with NSwag to document the endpoints. If they want to keep the client-side composability, create some OData endpoints and you've got it.

> Self-documentation of exact return type

> Code generation of exact return type leads to safer clients

> Our various apps (user app, support app, Wave agent app, etc.) can mostly share one API, reducing complexity

> Composable query language allows clients to fetch exactly the data they need in a single packet roundtrip without needing to build a large number of special-purpose endpoints

I've been in the situation where someone argued we didn't need something so go simple - turns out they were wrong (isn't hindsight nice) but now the system was based around this incorrect assumption and really hard to rework into the thing we needed.

This is why architecture is hard. It is about making the decisions in advance that you will regret getting wrong.

Here in Austin, Texas, we're lucky to have Ladybird (Town) Lake downtown. For most of the year, algae blooms are so severe that it's not safe for people or dogs to swim in the lake. It drives me crazy that people consider this anything other than anthropogenic.

I would love to see any effort to filter out urban water pollution. And I commend any change in the narrative that undesirable populations of blue/green algae, zebra mussels, etc. are inexplicable inconveniences, instead of what they really are: opportunistic growths driven by human water pollution and a warming climate.

Lawnmower Man is probably the strangest license ever. IIUC the story is licensed from Stephen King. That story has absolutely nothing to do with what happens in the movie. It's entirely about some person who morphs into a lawnmower. Has zero VR. There's a like 3 second VR scene in the movie of Jobe becoming a lawnmower but otherwise, zero connection. I guess the director or the producer just used it as an excuse to get funding then made whatever they wanted to make

You shouldn't be mean to the chatbot not because the chatbot is a sentient being as part of a soul-less corporation; but rather because when you become angry, you're more likely to disturb your own peace.
> That goes double for chatbots.

No.

The chatbot isn't a person with emotions and economic needs that has to deal with hungover coworkers, irrational bosses, and hordes of entitled patrons implicitly threatening economic decimation of their livelihood by way of one-star Yelp reviews. Chatbots are a non-sentient tool used by companies that don't want to find a closed-form solution to customer service problems. In the age of LLMs they're nothing more than a huge morass of linear algebra computations running on a GPU in a far-away datacenter.

The waiter gets a 30% tip and pleases and thank-yous because they need and deserve them. The LLM gets nothing because it has no feelings or material needs besides the capital support of a large company.

This isn't an episode of Star Trek. Hell, if you ask ChatGPT...

Most people should be doing most of their charging at home. As someone pointed out downthread, level 1 (120V/15A) charging should be sufficient to cover most people's daily driving needs as long as they can keep the vehicle plugged in while they're not driving it. Obviously this is much easier for some (people who own a home with a garage) than others (people who do not have a garage or other fixed parking spot) but that's a problem we can fix gradually as electric cars gain market share.

> Do you figure the Russian federation needs to invade Ukraine because the western alliance against it has expanded along its border without buffer zones and competing client states?

The February 2022 events were triggered because Kyiv wasn't fulfilling the peace agreement with Donetsk for years. You can check OSCE reports for the week before the invasion and see that the ceasefire was completely trashed, as well as check out what Ukrainian leaders had said regarding the Minks agreements. One of them (Poroshenko) non-jokingly claimed that lying about peace agreements was a Sun Tsy tactics. In a world based on rules, lying about a peace agreement while preparing for war will only end badly (and it did).

Thanks, but no. I don’t need to “pick a side” and I am extremely suspicious of rationality and motives of everyone who pushes me to both abandon my principles and reason, and to fall into perceiving everything as a perfect mortal dichotomy with no escape. I’m neither that suicidal nor brutal. And it is definitely not about someone’s “love”, objective reality exists.

Well you're definitely talking about the wrong thing, because this article is specifically talking about thick plastic bags (which are also called reusable), the kind you can buy as you check out for 10 cents each in most US states (and in particular, in California which this article is about)

> "In 2020, U.S. greenhouse gas emissions will be substantially lower than they were in 2019, but that's not because of progress that the Trump administration has made in reducing emissions”…

From the article. Trump loves to take responsibility for anything well in motion before he was involved, see also market/economy. He loudly undermined Covid response.
True. I think both are arguing the same. Just different takes on how silly it is. Asking one single, basic question, arguably uninteresting, but just asked early on, grants more access "permissions" than the total of thousands of in-depth questions and answers.

I think it's already happening/happened. Space-X is "working much more

what went down you or I will likely never know. But I am not surprised
at this turn of events.
"Simple" is an interesting term. I've always found it to be very relative to what someone's actual experiences and knowledge bases are.

For example, virtual machines are something I and probably most other people consider "simple". They're pretty much just little computers. For the most part, I can just work with VMs the same way I would work with computers. No sweat.

My DevOps pedigree, however, also means I consider Docker containers and even some light k8s stuff as pretty "simple" - when these two things feel to other people like massive overcomplications.

On the other hand, I'm pretty new to GraphQL, and it feels to me vastly more confusing than good old fashioned REST API endpoints, where I can crack open the code and actually see exactly how that particular endpoint works. I am mostly alone in my org when it comes to this feeling, because I haven't digested the abstractions that make GraphQL work as well.

I don't really have a good answer then for what simple is beyond "I know it (kinda) when I see it".
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the emissions from 10s of millions of personal vehicles is much more significant than a few thousand yachts. Don't get me wrong, I'm for adding restrictions on those things, but I see this private jet argument pop up as a way to avoid doing anything.

If I can indulge in a bit of what-aboutism to promote discussion, how would you classify animals? Do they deserve respect, and if so, what characteristic qualifies them?

If such a characteristic (e.g. the ability to feel fear/pain) could be programmed into a model, would that be ethical? Would it change the expectations for appropriate treatment of such a model?

Hmm I dunno, this architecture feels simple in some ways but genuinely pretty complex in others. Like they defined their own protocol? That's pretty not-simple.

It's like the StackOverflow example. Sure, the architecture is conceptually simple, but you still bought servers and are maintaining them yourself. That's pretty complicated unto itself. Probably the right decision, but not the "simplest".
"passing it on not knowing what happens later" often is fundamentally not acceptable - you may need proper transactions spanning multiple things, so that you can't finalize your action until/unless you're sure that the "later" part was also completed and finalized.

Those are not significant sources of emissions. All air travel, including commercial and private and goods transportation, is 1.9% of global emissions. All sea travel, including commercial and private and goods transportation, is 1.7%.

Road travel is 11.9%.[1] Of that, more than half is personal transportation vehicles (i.e. not freight)[2].

This is why personal vehicles are the #1 target for transportation-related improvements.

Modern Objective-C with ARC is fairly painless, especially compared to the Objective-C of yore. And if you are doing macOS-specific work for a C/C++ codebase, it's still simpler to integrate than Swift is.

Method swizzling is also an important tool for any aspiring macOS developer, unavailable/onerously painful in Swift.

All in all, I don't think there's anything wrong with continuing to write new things in modern Obj-C as long as you're conscious of the tradeoffs and interoperability is a concern.

Almost every company making EVs these days has truck or SUV models planned if they do not already have them for sale. Even the most recent round of US subsidies for electric vehicles favors trucks and SUVs over cars by having a signficiantly higher price cap for those types of vehicle to qualify for the subsidy vs cars. For better or worse, the EV transition (in the US) is not going to force people to buy smaller cars.

I don't like this grugbrain approach because complexity is subjective, as you mentioned, and the grugbrain mentions simply saying "no" instead of telling a dev to articulate why something shouldn't be in the codebase properly.

I mention this because I've been a lot of times in a place where instead of adopting "well maintened library that everyone is using since more than a decade" I had to write and maintain my own solution just to appease someone else because they thought it would be less work (it wasn't, maybe for them, definitely not for me).

I'm not sure why Python web scraping is so popular compared to Node.js web scraping. npm has some very well made packages for DOM parsing, and since it's in Javascript we have more native feeling DOM features (e.g. node-html-parser using querySelector instead of select - it just feels a lot more intuitive). It's super easy to scrape with Puppeteer or just regular html parsers on a Lambda.
