My morning $0.02:

I have thought for many years that we need to make driving a part of both middle and highschool. Not merely the principles of motor vehicle operation, but the humanities aspect too.

For example, psychology, basic physics and sociology would be integral to the curriculum. It is important to view transportation as closely as possible for what it is. As conscientious driver, I do my best to be courteous and safe, for both selfish and altruistic reasons. I try to apply my understanding of traffic dynamics every time frustration is detected. It is impossible for me to drive without observing stupidity, inefficiencies and systemic flaws. Realizing that I am part of it and not an exception, I try to view others (drivers, bystanders, pedestrians, cyclists etc) with equal or greater importance to myself. I do not tailgate, unless it is a collective circumstance, eg slow high-density traffic. I heed speed limits, general laws, and remain cognizant of signs. I expect unexpected behavior and try to not react beyond necessary correction.

And I piss off a lot of drivers. Traveling the speed limit in the right lane in low density traffic, I will be tailgated or worse. Yet, while mostly driving well within legal parameters, I make good time and often end up ahead of erratic impatient drivers.

I believe that most collisions can be avoided through rational driving practices. But many are never exposed to the concept. A mere pulse is sufficient to receive a driver's license.

Traffic enforcement also seems to be more revenue than safety driven and lacks consistency, eg ephemeral speed traps.

An essay or book could be easily written on this subject. As such an integral, ubiquitous part of society, it is amazing that such minimal attention is placed upon it. The fact that so many lives are at stake seems enough to make a religion of it. We really should do much more, without sloughing responsibility onto technology and the lottery of enforcement. For me it is one of the most outrageously glaring contradictions of expressed values there is, with carnage universally and quietly accepted as collateral damage.
Yes. It's funny how people will claim they only block ads because they allegedly want to pay for good content, but cannot, or claim that piracy is just a service problem. Yet when asked to put their money where their mouth is they instead just continue to openly try and get stuff for free. It's pure entitlement and disrespect for other's labor

As for the "I can; therefore I will" justifications: I can steal from my local corner shop. It's very unlikely they'd catch me. Yet I do not
I didn't know they had a 'Related Works' category. I heard an interview with the authors of the winner, A City on Mars by Kelly Weinersmith and Zach Weinersmith. Trying to remember what podcast... They set out to explore the real requirements of creating such a colony. They were enthusiastic about colonizing space at the start of the project, but realized how terribly hard and unrealistic it is. They are torn about bring the bearers of bad news, as many folks they befriended and interviewed over the course of researching the book are pissed off at them now.
> In 2014, BP had around 85,000 employees across 1180 companies. If you showed a person in 16th century England those numbers, they’d think you were referring to an entire economy.

This is ahistorical. I present to you the Dutch East India Company [1]:

> The Dutch government formed the VOC in 1602. At its peak, the Company had 57,000 employees, 150 merchant ships, and a private military force with 40 warships and 10,000 soldiers

Standard Oil also springs to mind as being absolutely massive, particularly in terms of percent of GDP.

That being said, I agree with the general point that the idea of "free markets" in a noeliberal dystopia are kind of ridiculous. But the alternative doesn't necessitate central planning either.

The US in particular is a country of contradictions. Capitalism is popular although most people can't define it. Socialism is rejected although almost nobody can define it. The US Military is venerated despite being one of the most socialist institutions in the country.

Think about it. In the military all your basic needs are met. Housing, food, medicare care, education. You pick a job you're qualified for (based on the ASVAB and line scores). The military trains you do that job. You get paid while doing all this. Then you do that job.

Yet Americans, despite lauding the military, will soundly reject every American having their needs met in the same basic way that the military does.

In my experience the overwhelming majority of teams out there are understaffed (especially when it comes to good and productive professionals) so your example is the rule, not the exception.
> That's a bad argument to give someone hot coffee in lap money for, though.

Are you sure?

Didn't that coffee lady originally request just hospital expenses, and then her lawyer told the jury to award punitive damages equal to one day's worth of coffee sales? (Or was it one day's coffee profits?)

Seems rather fitting that Google might pay one day's worth of app profits, if punitive damages are applied to their 3-month delay.

You could likely swindle many physical stores out of wares by social engineering too, but making material gains by deception is known as "fraud"
Yeah, I absolutely wouldn't use a Pi for something like that; a proper (mini) computer with a decent GPU (even an embedded one) is a better option for that sort of thing.

That said, there are still plenty of legitimate reasons to do hardware video encoding, as opposed to _transcoding_, which probably is what you're thinking of.
FYI Reader mode solves most of these problems (not that it should be needed)
I'd add "don't use demonstratives, like 'this' and 'that', repeat the clause". Sometimes, "that" is ambiguous, leading to unclear writing.

E.g. "The foo program is running on the bar server. Who is in charge of that?" vs "The foo program is running on the bar server. Who is in charge of the bar server?"
> I think Apple just doesn't think about use cases outside their ecosystem as a general rule

No. They deliberately do this for gatekeeping. That's what I'd expect from a company forcing you to own a Mac in order to develop for iOS, by license terms.

If it's just technical issues Apple usually do have more helpful alternatives, for example you can only request password reset for your Apple ID on an Apple device (because they can throttle and potentially ban a threat actor trying to stuffing, I guess?), but they invite you to go to an Apple Store and use iPad in the store to do it if you happen to not have one.
This is awesome thank you for this.

> The "Undo" button in the toast is unnecessary because the user can just click the checkbox again

I disagree with this part, at least in general. Having an Undo is very good if you have accidentally clicked somewhere and don't know precisely where, and you don't know the application well enough to easily undo based on the message alone.
They are NOT as unaware of things as we are. That’s like someone seeing a software developer googling stuff and saying “see, they don’t know much more than me”.

An expert refreshing their knowledge on Google is not the same as a layman learning it for the first time. At all.
It’s almost like we need a semantic level where the developer says “I want to send the use this small transient text message” and then a presentation level where a user can decide which method of presenting this information works best for them…
> 3. Daily, standup-like. Keep it short if there isn't a topic that affects everyone.

Be fucking ruthless about this. If someone starts digging down into details that only affects them or one other person, postpone that discussion - otherwise, your standups will balloon into hour-long semi-pairing sessions while the rest of your team's attention wanders.

And ensure that the rest of your team is empowered to call that out, too - "Can we do a sync about <Topic X> after standup?"

> (Some people also suggested pair programming. If it works for you, great, but I am terrible at it. Hard to explain, but coding and speaking are two very different things for my brain. I can't write good code while talking about it, and the whole thing is very stressful for me. I prefer to discuss code asynchronously or on Slack).

I find myself having trouble here, too, but one thing that helps is not feeling the pressure to be talking and/or typing and/or reading all at once, for a long time. Allow yourself and your pairing partner to just sit quietly and think during pairing.

I also "cheat" - before pairing with someone to support them on a problem they're having, I look at the code myself, first, and start diagnosing things. This prevents the issue of sitting there and staring blankly at code, hemming and hawing while you're trying to explain your thought process at the same time you're having the thoughts.
FWIW The fact that stuff is in a open dumpster doesn't make it legal for you to collect it.
> Is it difficult to update or install a new version of Go

Go is the easiest language I know to build from source, let alone run a binary distribution.
In the (is this shape fillable by 1x2 dominoes?) example given by EWD to demonstrate the power of formal reasoning methods, a slight change to the problem statement:

For the shape Q, instead of clipping opposite corners of the 8x8 square board, one (what would lay under a) white square and one black square, which are non-adjacent, are randomly removed.

makes the elegant proof argument fail.

Real world programming is usually like this, it is hard to cast the problem in the framework of a formal language, like first order predicate logic, and manipulation of uninterpreted formulae (i.e. the problem now mapped into the domain of first order logic) using the rules of first order logic might not lead to anything useful.

It seems to me that EWD is showcasing some example programming problems that are elegantly handled by his formal proof techniques, while ignoring the vast swathes of programming problems that might not be well handled by these techniques.
> No, that's not how it works. The function is evaluated once before the call and passed as an argument, then internally reused.

Yes, sorry; you are right of course.
> The next step

Should that read "Previous"? :)
Good luck convincing discord and wordpress about the 14KB limit.
Author here.

This doesn't make sense. The toolchain will be updated only IF you say your project only runs in Go >= XX. This is what `go` directive in `go.mod` says: my projects doesn't work in versions of Go older than this. This is why it happened to me, I declared I need `go 1.23` because of range-over-func, and the toolchain respected my wishes.

This is not an "enforcing you to use the latest Go version, even if you don't wish for it".
> Dick move by author to reveal his level of ignorance of USN operation tempo around McCain collision until the last few paragraphs. There were lol 4 fucking surface ship collisions and a grounding in westpac in 2017 because sailors were ran ragged

I read it as "mandatory sleep requirements don't actually mean people don't show up to a shift without enough sleep".

Basically acknowledging the difference between how the world is on paper and how the world is in reality. Even if there's rules about people getting enough sleep, designing a system that assumes everyone who works it will get enough will get people killed.

To late Disney.. to late.. I thought about getting Disney+ and visiting Disney land in Paris. Now I won't do the one nor the either. Not because of sympathy with the family having a loss, not because I'm allergic myself - it's just a way of living and a mantra to keep assh*les out of reach of my fists. In that case it's you. It's you.

"researchers used a $1500 USRP software-defined radio"

A small SDR setup can be made for just a few dollars and requires very little knowledge - as it has for the past 20 years... and works on many common devices, garages, cars, electrical and medical equipment and so on.

Making an article every time someone tries this on another device is always a bit funny.
The intended purpose for a "crypto app" is to scam its users. So it checks out.
First off, let’s not forget that you’re criticizing a movie that isn’t even out yet. For all we know it could be a critically acclaimed box office smash hit when it comes out. Not that I hold my breath for these remakes, but the possibility exists. And it’s wildly disingenuous to be a film critic of a film that isn’t out yet.

But anyway, this is funny to me. Snow White is a nearly 100 year old movie. It came out 22 years after Birth of a Nation. If you think a remake can work as a modern movie with zero changes that is kind of naive in itself isn’t it? It’s not like anyone is going to remake From Russia with Love and include the scenes where James Bond slaps women around.

And I mean, yeah, technically, the original Snow White is probably pretty offensive to people with dwarfism. They’re all heavily dehumanized as lesser people with more flaws than Snow White. Snow White has to come in and fix their life essentially, cook and clean for them, etc.

But anyway, I don’t think that’s the driving reason behind using animated dwarves, I think they couldn’t do some of the comedic elements as well with real actors as they can with exaggerated animation.

There also aren’t a lot of people with dwarfism who are lead-quality actors. You need seven of them for that movie. My guess is that test footage wasn’t working.
Nice. I always like to see email being leveraged.
“We stopped giving away some of our apples due to risk.”

“Of… liability? Or… uh, what?”

“Oh—risk that we couldn’t sell the apples we gave away, obviously.”
Email is nice.

>But I don't want so many mails in my inbox

Then write mail rules. It's really easy and personally I couldn't survive at work without them. That's a big part of why it's nice: You can choose how it works unlike practically everything else these days.
So in your calculation all the money spent to create the tech is free?
It's just more fun this way, isn't it? It might be rude or tone deaf but I don't think that anyone is serious on claiming that it was an assassination.

How could "they?" had pulled it off?

Scenario 1: They risk losing their money and go to jail because they expect that the court decision be reversed over some evidence they expect to surface. Both are actually alive, Lynch sabotaged his yacht to fake his death, used the storm to make it plausible. The co-defendant falsified hospital records, it was all coordinated based on the weather forecast.

Scenario 2: Someone held responsible over the huge loss decided to send a message. Paid someone to sabotage the yacht, knowing Lynch's plans to sail and the weather forecast also killed the co-defendant by making someone hit him on his daily jogging rutine.

Both unplausible, still fun. Murder mystery and conspiracy are popular genre.
I don't know anyone who isn't optimising for development time in some way. That said, most frameworks don't provide any worthwhile error handling infrastructure, and it's a problem.

In a Jetpack Compose app I wrote, I created generic "error barrier" components, so that error messages display over relevant parts of the app, with just a few lines each time, timeouts included. I think this is the best approach, easy for developers and informative for users. Too many apps just ignore errors.
Classic. People that are bad at UX design using the “pro app” catch-all to justify all sorts of bad decisions.

I spend all day in “pro apps”. I am also visually impaired. The inappropriateness of toasts has nothing to do with my familiarity with the app. I may, eventually, learn that a particular UI is using toasts to indicate something. That doesn’t suddenly make it okay. They’re still a massive pain in the ass for me. They’re still a massive pain in the ass for a lot of people. They’re still a poorly thought out holdover from the days of 640x480 displays, and with a modern resolution they’re even less appropriate.
Best worst thing about nixos is that none of these terrifying tricks work because the binaries can never find libc.
Moving the goalposts? I don't think so.

Look, friend: I don't have infinite time to go digging into all the cites you provided. For all I know, you're doing the Steve Bannon "flood the zone with shit" trick — I don't know that you're doing that, but neither do I know that you aren't.

YOU say that these publications say various things. But I'd also asked you for evidence that you know what you're talking about and can be trusted to be honest. You didn't provide any such evidence, nor even your real name.

EDIT: I skimmed through your last cite about myo/pericardiotis, a meta-study in BMJ. Key phrase: "Thus, while the risk of myo/pericarditis is higher in the vaccinated group than in the unvaccinated group, the absolute risk of myo/pericarditis is small in both groups." (Emphasis mine.) That seems to be an important fact, but you don't seem to have picked up on it — either that or you're intentionally not mentioning it for your polemical purposes.

So forgive me if I take a pass on believing you.
Pleas re-read the discussion, you’ll notice that there is a search engine choice, and the problem is that the list is pre-defined and is fixed by an extension - something that Google is continuously working on restricting. It has DuckDuckGo so it’s good enough. Most importantly, it works better than Firefox and is not Chromium-based.
Wow. The comments don't align. This is absolutely terrifying to me.

7.9% annual interest?? I read this correctly? In the current world economy? No wonder people who can avoid paying it are doing exactly that. I just hope they are saving this "extra" money as a reserve on this layoff rich environment instead of mindlessly consuming it.

Sometimes you just have to admire the aesthetical and artistical aspects of this aggressively predatory world created by fine humans such as Thatcher, Reagan, Clinton, Jack Well and Carl Icahn. This human meat-grinder system is surely a beast to behold: "Don't wait, get them while they are young! it's the most efficient thing to do, slave them with compound interest as early as possible! why wait until they start a family and get a mortgage to fleece them?
Author here.

What I meant is that the toolchain itself is linked statically, this is why it can be just downloaded from the internet and it will work without extra setup from the user.

Yes, Go will build the libraries once you call `go build`, and yes, they may link to the system C libraries for things like you said. But the `go` binary itself is static.
They have released ton's more features including AI - grok, premium subscription with no ads, growth has been record high all run with much less engineers, it's more optimized and better now IMO. In tech companies, it's not just about headcount, one needs a strong leader to drive company towards greater success like Elon.
This seems like a lot of complexity dedicated to a reward otherwise obtainable with less complexity.
Agreed. I just hope that they aren’t too successful at evading responsibility here in the U.S. since moving is not easy.
I also prefer the loop, I would negate the condition and use continue, but otherwise leave it unchanged. I don't have a problem with the functional version but it doesn't scan as well to me.

Multiple OS installs / multiple boxes on the same keyboard.

Then it's "do it 4 times in software for free" and the software is not the same and this solution suddenly becomes attractive.

You could solve it by getting a keyboard that supports macros on the keyboard hardware maybe. Or keep your existing keyboard you know and love and insert this little solution.
I guess insolvency law needs to be changed to place some duty of care towards data subjects on insolvency practitioners, rather than allowing everything to be flogged off to the highest bidder. Since winding up user data storage safely is not free, this probably means data processors[1] should be required to get insolvency insurance to cover it.

[1] "data processor" in the sense of the various user data protection laws, not just any data processor
Great post. Yes when your GC or carpenter needs to remove a wall, they bring in a real structural engineer. These roles exist for software engineering also. Only thing we are missing is a real licensing and governance body.
Seems highly entitled and irresponsible. Sure, student loans have become somewhat predatory, but sticking honest, hardworking taxpayers with debt you acquired through poor decisions and planning doesn't feel like the right way to remedy the situation.

We already have systems that permit pedestrians to cross with priority over cars; they don't need lights.

They don't scale to really busy streets, and one of the failure modes would be perpetually blocked vehicles.

And this still leaves other road users that aren't autonomous cars up in the air.
Those unpredictable ways are often the outcome of subconscious, or conscious desires that erupt in sudden change.

As we move through periods of mass uncertainty people seek meaning in what they perceive has the answers. Often gravitating toward change that aligns with those beliefs. To me- the author is correct. Those with purpose most often prevail.
