As a general guideline I have deleted the word “just” from my vocabulary when talking about anything engineering related. Doubly so when it’s a system used directly by humans. And double again when there are legacy systems involved that weren’t designed to have human judgement deleted from their operation.

Here’s a fun example of the complexity even when there are live humans in the loop. I’m Canadian. My client is Canadian. I sent him an invoice using QuickBooks with the option to pay using QuickBooks Payments. He pays the invoice sitting at the table with me and a transaction shows up in my books but no money in my bank account. That’s normal, it usually takes a few days to clear. A week passes and still no cash. I call QuickBooks and they provide me with an ACH tracing number; they tell me that they released the funds days ago. I call my own bank and provide them the tracing number, my bank tells me they have no record of that transaction ever coming to them. I call QuickBooks back and escalate. They insist that my bank screwed up and lost it and provide me with the same tracing number. At least after escalating I now have a direct line to a case manager at QB. Back and forth, back and forth, and eventually I get an email from a VP of Compliance at Chase Manhattan asking that I call them.

Now… I don’t do business with Chase. My client doesn’t do business with Chase. QuickBooks does business with Chase and Chase wants to talk to me about financing Iranian terrorists and FINCEN. Chase happily accepted the money from QB and gave them a receipt for it and then the money disappeared into a mysterious compliance department who, apparently, can’t legally tell me why I was flagged or what I can do to ensure this doesn’t happen again. But after a quick chat about my business and relationship with my client the money magically showed up in my bank account.

> They gave it a unique phrase (disruptive innovation) rather than just saying "disruption" followed by a mic drop.

Technically you are right. But other uses are right too. Audience context matters.

So many people here are familiar with "disruptive innovation" vs. "non-disruptive innovation" and "sustaining innovation", and find those distinctions relevant, that "innovation" can often be dropped without much confusion here.

I.e. "disruptive", "non-disruptive", and "sustaining" + <competition>, <technology>, <strategy>, <business model>, etc.

It would be very cumbersome to include "innovation" in every one of those phrases.

It would beat the word to death 1000 times over, if every business or technology discussion had to keep explicitly saying it, when it can almost always be assumed to be relevant.

Language isn't just definitions, it is also context/culture/group sensitive. Which doesn't make you wrong - but it doesn't make the more specialized usage wrong or less useful, if you are sensitive to it.

When in doubt, use the natives' interpretation.

What happens if your working memory is so poor that by the time you’ve put on your opposition hat to scrutinize your original position, your brain is out of bandwidth and it forgets the details of original position, or it can’t scrutinize that position because there isn’t enough bandwidth to hold both the original idea and the counter position simultaneously? So now you’ve got a counter argument to a now forgotten original position.

Just wondering.
Not at all unique to Japan either, I was confused by the Japan-centric focus of the discussion. I've worked for two different US corporations that observed a company-specific holiday, either founding day or IPO day.

It feels to me like the article sets up the confusion it must resolve by starting from national holidays... I don't think any of my employers have had a holiday schedule that matched another. There's a lot of variation on what holidays companies do and do not recognize, often with compromises around giving longer runs off around Christmas. If you really need to know when another company is doing business I wouldn't have ever thought there was a solution other than "collect a list of holidays each of your business partners observes."

Hell, a lot of US states don't match the federal holidays.

If anything the banking industry is unusually consistent for practical reasons. But even then, I worked for a major US bank and discovered that our holidays didn't quite match another major US bank we did business with!
How does reformatting trash the history? It's one extra commit..

I guess if it splits or combines lines that could cause some noise if you really want the history of a single line... But that happens all the time, and I don't see how it would really prevent understanding the history. You can always do a blame on a range of lines.

Maybe I'm missing something though, genuinely curious for a concrete example where reformatting makes it hard to understand history!

I tend to agree with your three specific objections:

- 5 vowels is actually a very good choice (although the diphthongs in Esperanto are notably odd)

- pronouncing the R differently is unavoidable and probably fine

- the x-method works okay in practice (although I subjectively don’t really like it)

The linked page is “the page” on the problems with Esperanto, and I still think that it has a lot of insight, even if I don’t agree with every point he makes.

For example, I had no idea how much East Slavic grammar influenced Esperanto, or how important word order was in practice for complex sentences.

I think it’s reasonable that a much better IAL than Esperanto could be designed today, given all the knowledge of linguistics that we now have, and all of the experienced conlangers. I don’t think that Esperanto is so good that surpassing it would be “one huge nirvana fallacy”.

But I also don’t expect anyone to ever make an IAL that is more successful than Esperanto, because Esperanto’s success was a product of its time.

Nowadays, with the status of English, and the availability of machine translation, an IAL is just less important than it once was.

On a positive note: I recommend the book “In the Land of Invented Languages” by Arika Okrent for a history of conlangs.

As a shibboleth, here is a sample of my own shitty conlang, whose design I will not attempt to defend:

My favorite prompt: asking "How many e's are there in the word egregious". Always says three (ChatGPT 3.5, 4, 4 turbo). When you ask it which three, it realizes its mistake and apologizes (or sometimes tells you where they are that is completely wrong). Looks like it just outputs gibberish for these things.

it is if your work drives the company's profits and you can organize with your fellow workers and demand it!

> I prefer remote work and I'd only work for a full remote company, but in no way do I feel like it's my right to force a company to allow me be remote.

good for you, some of us see the employer beholden to the people who actually drive the company. try not to police your fellow workers while we advocate for better lives.
Not trying to relate with AI, GPT, or LLM in a spreadsheet product is the best thing to me, kudos!
The quote betrays a slight misunderstanding of non lexical lifetimes. The two borrows happen in separate implicit scopes. The first borrow is only valid until the second borrow is made. At that point it's dropped. So the two mutable references can't exist at the same time.

A refactor that breaks this ordering results in code that obviously shouldn't work in the eyes of any non-beginner rust programmer.
Härkönen, yes. "Harkonnen", no.
Right, I just made a switch to management.
Why would you use Docker at all? Just run the application behind a reverse proxy. Docker doesn't get you anything except an extra management headache and an abstraction that happily punches holes in your firewall.

Many fuel stations here in NZ have switched to pay first then fill for cash payments. Most stations I go to have signs saying 'Please go inside to pay first' or words to that effect on the pumps. However many chains have introduced self-payment card terminals, payments via app, etc so it's not a hassle if you can use these other options.
You would think that it would have been standardised by 2024, but building stuff is still a surprisingly hard problem.
In my experience, the biggest factors are:

* Many developers prefer working on greenfield code rather than adding to an old codebase

* Working on a rewrite buys you some time in limbo where you can write code while being free from the burdens of production operations. This period is shorter than people dream, but it's often long enough for developers to pitch a rewrite for 6 months, code for 12 months and then skip to the next job with "Spearheaded rewrite of critical infrastructure" on their resume. Time it right and you can get out of there before you have to support the code you wrote.

Ah yes it's about the gaming industry, not a specific topic like company shifting to office work during the last period of development and workers not wanting to go in to the office.

Makes it easy to shift that goal post when it's just about the industry, but you're also arguing that remote work is a right, so I'm not sure you even fell for that.

Is Rockstar demanding 7 days? No. What you said is false and irrelevant.

Don't try to conflate things that are irrelevant to this particular discussion.

Either you view remote work as a right or not. I don't.

Yep this is the case at most (if not all) the brands e.g. Z, BP, Mobil, etc. But it does vary by site (and possibly time of the day and/or whether they have enough staff to monitor etc). In my experience pay-after-fill has not been the norm here in New Zealand for quite some time.
> There's a clean way to subtract 365 days

What is it? Does it attempt to return a datetime that's the same time as the input but 365 calendar days earlier (ignoring leap seconds? compensating for time zone changes?), or does it subtract 31536000 seconds from the current datetime? Because those aren't necessarily the same and it's ambiguous which one you mean by "subtract 365 days"
if you're going to own it for the foreseeable future. then own it. learn it, refactor it, test the hell of out of it. otherwise you're never going to be able to debug or extend it.

one thing I always do is throwaway major refactors. its the fastest way for me to learn what the structure is, what depends on what, and what's really kinky. and I might just learn enough to do it for real should it become necessary.
Why would anyone take a job at 11.70/hr when one at 20$/hour is available? This makes zero sense.

It's not really a blurry line. "They" could require you to take antipsychotic pills when you renew your driver license. "They" could chemically castrate you when you register to vote and select the wrong party affiliation. But they can't, because in the US patients can refuse treatment.

Panicking about new treatments because "they" might someday bundle them with other treatments isn't particularly effective, because you can just decline the treatments you don't want. The days of no-oversight asshole doctors drilling holes in people for being weird are conscripted to the past. If patient rights to refuse treatment are destroyed, then sure, freak out all you want.

Meanwhile, research is not a zero-sum game. Treatments and prevention can be, and are, worked on in parallel, often by people with wildly different research backgrounds. Specifically, the resources and personnel involved are not fungible. Discouraging field A because you'd rather have someone work on field B doesn't necessarily mean anyone will work on field B, it just guarantees you don't make progress in field A.

People are very interested. I'm not an apple person, but I'd very much like device that is dedicated to music, works well, and the iPod with the wheel has got to be the best UX for an mp3 player I've ever seen.

"Like" is very different from "want to buy". It just so happens, I've got a device in my pocket (well right now, my hands) that does that job adequately enough. And it does video. And it does interpersonal communication. And I can read documents on it.

I remember before smartphones that the market was so saturated with cell phones that companies were basically just throwing out strange form factors to set themselves apart. The entire market was hype. People bought phones based on what their carrier had available, and they picked their carrier based on the plans available, and they picked a plan based on their needs. 10 free ringtones, unlimited email for $30 a month. All the manufacturers knew what people wanted, one device to rule them all, a general purpose computer in their pocket, but none of them could either pull it off or bring themselves to destroy the rest of their consumer electronics business. As soon as apple did it, the demand for everything else evaporated. You buy one device and you no longer need a TomTom, a DVD player in your car headrest, an mp3 player, you name it, its gone. The only things that survived are things that hook up to a big screen in front of your couch, and the screen itself. Gaming computers are a thing, but besides that they're workstations. There's only one personal media device now, and everyone has one.

So yes, there's interest in this stuff. I'm personally pretty interested in a little device that just plays sound through a 3.5mm jack that takes a micro SD card and doesn't need daily charging. I'd also be interested in such a device for books (that runs koreader and absolutely nothing else). No networking, no multipurpose, nothing, just that. But admittedly, what I'd pay for those things is low, because I already have something adequate for those purposes, and it's a niche market, there aren't a lot of people that see the benefit to an eBook reader that at least can't google something real quick over WiFi.
Last night around 8:00 PM I noticed the time on my Linux laptop was wrong. I tried to reset it manually and got a "Cannot set current time" error. Closed the dialog and a minute or two later the time reset to the correct value. I shrugged it off as something random.

Then today I get home from work, un-suspend that same laptop and the time and date are both wrong now. It has it as around 10pm last night. Turn off auto updates and turn that back on, and nothing happens. Wait 4 or 5 minutes, nothing happens. So I finally decided to reboot, which does indeed clear things up. Only then did I remember that today is Feb 29th and make the connection that this might be related to the leap year.

Can't say for 100% certain that it was, but it would be one hell of a coincidence otherwise.
