> As for the "Thucydides Trap", there's plenty of criticism on Wikipedia:

Notice many of the criticisms that you linked to focus on whether the trap applies to the current dynamics between the USA and China. The mere existence of such debates implicitly accepts the validity of the trap pattern itself.

Other criticisms question the trap's applicability to different historical situations and its underlying mechanisms, such as assigning blame for the resulting conflicts. However, these arguments overlook a crucial aspect of the trap: "incredibly obvious" security moves by one party can provoke equally "obvious" security responses from the other, potentially escalating into a devastating war that neither side truly desires. This can occur even when all parties act rationally, as the challenge to the established "pecking order" drives the trap.

> Personally I file it alongside Marxism, Asimov's Psychohistory, and all the other Grand Theories Of History that try to pretend human behavior is simple and predictable.

It's essential to distinguish the "Thucydides Trap" from grand theories of history like Marxism or Asimov's Psychohistory. Rather than attempting to simplify and predict human behavior on a grand scale, the trap is better understood as a cognitive bias that can lead groups into conflicts with one another. The numerous examples listed on Wikipedia support the existence of such biases:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases

While human behavior may indeed be unpredictable at times, it is be unwise to dismiss the influence of cognitive biases on group dynamics and decision-making.
Also the system had a quite good lifespan, so there was a long time for gems to show up. And, probably, the designers also became accustomed to the limitations and learned how to design around them well.

It also means that app devs can’t just eschew menus altogether in favor of junk drawer hamburger menus, like is so common on Windows/Linux. Even Electron apps that don’t have menubars under Windows/Linux usually do under macOS because it’d be silly to not populate the menubar when it’s always there anyway.

The omnipresence of the menubar also makes it an excellent hook point for UI enhancement utilities (e.g. a keyboard-driven HUD app) and automation, since it provides a universal interface that covers most of an app’s functions, which is truly rare these days.

For the majority of devs out there, they would struggle to build something that runs on this platform without paging. It's not in their wheelhouse.

Most modern containers are a run time + a pile of other code (js/ruby/python/java)... So no, not just a single binary.

And even if you want to make the argument that you can compile all those down to a single binary... I would point out that you're going to run into their limitations around file system access, and c binding (to access local GPIO pins). Again you can over come these things, but you're likely going to have to do that on the underlying os, probably with some C...

If you dont compile down to a single binary, you have the FS access, and can install the c-dependancys in your container and everything just works.

The container is then doing its job. It's a bag separating all that stuff from spilling all over the OS it lives on and the env vars it creates. It does it well. It's why we use them.

If we could run single binary blobs, the use case for containers (for deployment) shrinks drastically... Isolating 2 version of an app with some networking for fast switching, and cgroups make sense on the server side. Less so on end user machines.

Writing portable, and installable software is a hard problem. Containers are an abstraction of those issues. I no longer believe that they are a good one.

You know, sometimes things look good on a macro scale, but not at the personal level. Both perspectives need to be considered.

I live in southern Europe. If I look out of my window, the tall buildings in front are about 80% shuttered all year round. At the same time, there is an acute shortage of housing in this area. Many families who have been here for generations are moving out, because real estate prices are too high, for both renting and buying.

I can't help feeling something is very wrong, despite the abundance of foreign capital. What do you think?
Sure, it's possible to "revoke" a physical ID, just not in the sense we commonly mean when talking about these things in a digital context. For example a cop or bartender physically taking your ID can be described as revoking it.

Other than taking the physical document, what is there to revoke? The state unilaterally declares Bob Smith's name is no longer Bob Smith? The state declares that one of Bob Smith's names is no longer #12345678?

I think your point is that physical IDs could be augmented with an online digital revocation method - every issued ID could have a serial number, for which there could be an online database to look up whether that specific issued credential has been reported lost or stolen. But that seems like just another give away to banks (etc) of one more talking point to hassle their own victims with - "When we were defrauded by someone presenting your ID, you had not yet reported it stolen, which [somehow] means that you are responsible for covering our losses". Never mind the Kafkaesque situation of someone being suddenly told that the document they're carrying is no longer valid due to some unknown-to-them happenings (this is already bad enough with things like car registrations).

Really, the biggest problem with identity-based fraud continues to be aligning the incentives, such that the negligent institutions that get defrauded can no longer externalize the damage they caused onto everyone else. The extreme hassle of us having to clean up the banks' messes is the only reason this is a subject of popular concern.

Reflecting on a Pivotal Physics Calculation
Nobody wants their car infrastructure taken away or reduced. But everyone loves living in the places where car infrastructure was taken away or reduced. It's a well-known conundrum. One that takes strong political will, leaders, a crisis or all of that.

I live in the Netherlands, which in the '70s and '80s was just as car infested as any place. Part luck, part timing and part political caused it to turn away from that, invest in bikes. And not top-down, nor bottom-up, just an accidental "perfect storm". We're now a in a situation where PT, car and bike infrastructure are a complex network that co-exists and is highly efficient. Where virtually everyone has (at least) one bike, takes that to work/school on average almost daily and also travels by car, train and other PT a lot. But where, above all, this is commonly seen as something good and people do feel really happy in it.

And even here, still, removing stroads or parking lots to turn them into parks, restaurant-areas or pedestrianized areas, will always meet a lot of resistance from people who think the cars are crucial to their lives/businesses/shops/schools. Yet when it's pushed through, generally, even those opposing it, often are much happier with the space after cars were removed from it.
If you don’t have your basic needs met there are options beyond squatting and exploiting laws surrounding it. I’m sure Spain has public services that are much better than the US if the train network is any proxy for effective governance. There’s presumably training opportunities to upskill both formal and informal. All this to say the person who is squatting is probably not someone who lacks any other option but someone who is exploiting a condition and potentially tied to organized crime to boot.

Right. The other thing is that the parent claims to be an insider which is great- I love that perspective. However, as outsiders maybe the researchers did the best they could with what data was available to them. After reading the blog article it seems like the main thing the researchers may have had wrong is the margin of error. I don’t have a huge problem with that since science is supposed to get more accurate over time as refinements come in.

Perhaps it would have been better if the blog writer had approached the researchers and said, “Hey I read your paper. I have insider knowledge and I’d like to help you refine your model.”

Well.. that semantics, which is not something I have any interest in arguing about. I’ll restate, I’m certain that we care about the environment and sustainability much more than the Romans ever did.

> systematically enslaved everyone they encountered?

No, that was a hyperbole, I’m assumed that it would be pretty clear to most.

Again I’m not sure what’s the point of arguing about this. The were about as much slaves (as % of population) in Roman Italy as in the antebellum Deep South, except in the Roman case the conditions for most slaves were so poor was that their population could only be sustained through constant importation of new slaves.

And yes in some cases up to 90% of the population was either murdered or enslaved after some wars (eg. almost all of the people living in Carthage, in an entirely unprovoked and and unjustifiable war) and more often than not Roman conquests were followed by severe contractions of population and economic decline.

> I mean mine. Our society optimizes for the GNI, at the very real risk of causing global instability,

Perhaps. But I would not agree that’s true in relative/historical terms. Generally QoL for the overwhelming majority of the global population is better than it ever was in the past. Also we as a society are making many choices/decision that do not prioritize short term economic growth that would mostly be incomprehensible/irrational to the Roman elite.
I haven't read the article, but my guess is that the more extremist one is, the more one sees oneself as deviating from society and the more anxious one would be. One can be an extremist in many ways, not only in political dimensions.

I think this sort of thing is more subjective and dependent on what the user is used to than most are willing to admit. I find the vaunted Aero Snap feature incredibly annoying for example because it’s so “noisy” with its proposed-snap animations and how easily it’s accidentally triggered (especially when multiple displays are involved) — the way the third party app Moom does it with a popover that appears on green traffic light hover or key shortcut is vastly preferable to me.

It’s true that Mac desktop evolution has somewhat stagnated and could use some movement, but that movement shouldn’t necessarily be toward the Win9X desktop paradigm.
Are you kidding? Practical training isn't exclusively the domain of "a few high profile colleges." In fact, the more high profile your college, the less likely it is that you'll get practical training. I refuse to believe that there are many schools teaching CS that don't even cover the basics like how to commit something to git.

You also make it sound like Github (which is just a commercial Git hosting service) is advanced "CS stuff" that you can't grasp without having this knowledge handed to you at an elite school. Most professionals and students of CS literally learn most or all of it in their spare time.
This kind of thing -- making something that should be simple into something that is complex -- is why I've learned to really dislike git.
Yeah but what other options do we have? Workshop, assuming it's 40+ people in the room, is the most cost effective way to share knowledge. Though 1 to 5 teacher to student ratio is much better, the cost will be significantly higher.

> "What are you really trying to convey here?"

I don’t think you’ve articulated a reasonable or valid complaint against the word “problematic”.

Words convey very little in isolation. When somebody uses the word “problematic”, it’s only in a larger context—sentences and paragraphs, just to start with.

> …I still think there's ambiguity.

I don’t see how this complaint applies to “problematic” but not, say, your use of the word “ambiguity” here. What are you saying is ambiguous or unclear about the word “problematic”? Why are you saying it is ambiguous or unclear?

You are asking the reader to do some of the work and figure out what you mean by that. But that is ALWAYS true, in every sentence, with every word. I think you are basing your complaint against the word “problematic” on some imagined usage of it in a particular context, and without that context, the complaint just isn’t grounded.
Both sides feel their values are under attack. I don't know how to fix that disconnect.

Roaring Kitty (Keith Gill) Live Stream – June 7, 2024 [video]
What is ironic is that I’ve people living like that in the US too. I once lived in a building with a lot of immigrants from different parts of the world. I once got a glance in a living room walking down the hall: two bunks in the living room dozens of people inside. Another apartment was a studio apartment shared by two guys whose main source of income seemed to be charging lime scooters in the apartment. They’d be hauling scooters in and out all day.

So maybe things wouldn’t be that different at all for the poorest of this country but they’d not have the boot of monthly rent pinned on their neck.
In the best possible scenario, a distributed DB can be as truthful as a single DB.

In the best possible scenario, a DB with snapshot isolation can be as truthful as a strictly serialisable DB.

In both those cases, your truth is at the whim of a programmer committing buggy code.

That's not what I mean. What I mean is that at least some people have to stand up to that unfairness and exploitativeness.

When blacks protested bus segregation in the South, they boycotted the busses. That meant they had to walk. It worked.

It would be a better more just world if people did not have to make these kinds of sacrifices to be heard, but we don't live in a utopia. We live in a messy real world full of people being assholes and broken systems.

In this case the sacrifice is not having to walk in searing heat in the summer while being jeered at by racist assholes. The sacrifice is having to learn a new image editor.
