Same, and yeah it’s incredible! Going through Osoyoos (it was my first time) was such a mind trip. It’s a desert! I went on a little boardwalk tour and kept seeing cacti and all kinds of panels with text describing deserts. Coming from the island this was not at all what I expected. I’d been to cache creek and seen dry dusty places plenty, but that area is extra cool.

And yeah, this island is absolutely amazing too.

The articles covering this topic have shown deals where various forms of media were purchased at surprising rates.

I’m not looking to start a company around this, my source of media and data are essentially a byproduct of my actual business. Ideally I’d like to find a broker or marketplace that I can feed it to.
To be honest, whole foods and the go stores could be (at least in some small part) a way to shift their competition base from "online retail" to "all retail" for anti-trust purposes. I wonder if AWS outposts melding cloud to on-prem fulfill enough to be a similar premise of widening the span of competition.
I guess with marketplace like this, if webmasters are happy and the AI agents are also happy, then we'll be seeing quite a few services to come up with similar solution.

Then end goal will be, from search engine optimization to something like LLM optimization or prompt engine optimization.
Wise public investment can absolutely spur growth: building trains, harbors, ports, school, hospitals, The Internet, etc. will pay off in spades and make society wealthier.

> Losing the only task of a build tool, caching and parallelization.

You are aware that Maven does offer paralle build, right?

> I guess maven just doesn’t have an accurate build graph?

You guess wrong? then

>> LOL, from my experience that is not true

> In what way is it not true?

Consistency of gradle build. You yourself stated just a paragraph above that sometimes you have to run "clean" xD

> Also, gradle is demonstrably faster, especially on projects that can be parallelized. Obviously a hello world will be dominated by javac and build tool startup speed so it’s not relevant.

Again, learn the tool. Maven does offer parallel builds and is comparably fast…

> And multiple daemons — you can disable them, and they will go away if unused.

"but you are turning off the only feature of a build!!!"

Also - I had a setup open with gradle/kotlin-multiplatform project (shell with "gradlew" and Android Studio) and magically it fails to build with "Unresolved reference: kotlinx" even though I haven't done anything to the project and no ammount of running "gradlew clean" solves it... what a lovely tool....

I think the issue is that government needs help from the non-profits to get things like this approved. A strong marketing effort. And the non-profits only agree to put their weight behind it if they get a significant benefit.

Thus there's nothing inherently nefarious, and the people in government might even have a good idea of how to do it more efficiently, but their choices are: 1) get nothing passed or 2) get something inefficient with handouts(or incentives depending on your view) to those groups that help pass it.

I'd like to see more ballot initiatives with a focus on efficiency. Run them alongside the similar initiative with all the handouts and see which voters choose when actually given the choice.
I'd say, be careful about what you wish for. We probably don't want to end globalization right now, or in the near term.

I used to be (particularly around 2000) really interested in the history and literature of the time period 1965-1980 or so including the hippie phenomenon, Watergate, disco, inflation, etc.

Lately though I took a look at

https://www.amazon.com/Between-Two-Ages-Americas-Technetroni...

and a conference proceedings about Brzezinski's ideas that came out in the next few years. Partially I wanted to roll my eyes at times because my interests have moved on but something that struck me was an essay by Paul Goodman which reflected a sentiment that was really common at that time to the effect that people were dogpiling into urban areas, that large cities were becoming unmanagable, that the exodus into urban areas had to be stopped, etc. This report was a relatively late one on the topic

https://www.amazon.com/Dispersing-Population-America-Learn-E...

which did not have any 1960s radical positioning but rather saw it is an almost universal political problem that the UK was too concentrated in London, France too concentrated in Paris, etc. All of these countries saw some need to do something about it.

That kind of talk stopped abruptly circa 1980 when we got Reagan and Thatcher and competition between international economic centers seemed too fierce for, say, the UK to give up any competitiveness at all by dispersing its financial sector out of London.

Today the message is overwhelmingly that people are more productive when they live in big cities thus it is an economic necessity for population to concentrate. There's a counternarriative now which is not positioned as a counternarriative that housing has become unaffordable in places with vibrant economies.

As I see it is the old "large cities have become unmanageable" theme that's become crystalized.

Right now it can seem like a political problem (e.g. existing residents, landlords, etc. profit from the current situation) but since growth is prevented through this mechanism there are many other problems we're not seeing (if California was adding as much population as it could could they afford infrastructure investments, could they handle environmental impacts, provision social services, etc.)

Explosion at the factory. No humans injured, but RnD labs and manufacturing labs all halted due to side effects of the explosion. On call back then was just answering your phone. I foolishly answered. It was incorrect for my management to place such heavy responsibility onto me for leading our sliver of the recovery. I was fresh out of school, I did not understand how the products, the facilities, or how the business operations fundamentally worked at a low level, which would’ve deeply helped. Sure, there were senior engineers around, but they had other tasks in these critical moments as well. It took a while to feel supported. They really needed an experienced engineer running the show, not the most junior. Anyway, I worked for a month straight (longer days, weekends). A handful of us did. I was actively training for bike racing back then, and I knew my KPI‘s. Let’s just say that my fitness tanked after being uber stressed out for a month straight.
I am basically the core demographic that this sort of law should appeal to. I try to always bring reusable bags to the store, even though I live in a not-very-green city where half of the cashiers look surprised and confused by such a thing. In general I wish that we were doing far more to conserve the environment. But I think that this is a dumb law. The problem is that the benefit:annoyance ratio is terrible. Plastic bags are bad for environment and using fewer is better, but the benefits of a blanket ban will be very modest and the annoyance to everyday people is significant.

The unpleasant reality is that political capital is a big factor in getting things done in a democracy, and people should be mindful of how it's spent. Most voters are indifferent or mildly in favor of protecting the environment; they will go along with environmental goals as long as they don't perceive them as harming their quality of life too much. And that's fine. This means that highly visible and inconvenient policies that tinker around the edges are the opposite of what environmentalists should be aiming for. Unfortunately politicians often aren't trying to fix a problem, they want to appear to be fixing a problem, which is how we end up with performative legislation. Which then wraps the issue up in the usual culture war nonsense, opponents dig in, and more meaningful policies get blocked.
I had a manager who thought putting questions in group chats would make it look like we were not competent and so should be only posted in DMs. Same about asking questions to other team members in bug tickets: don't do it, others will think the team is incompetent.

Yea, to me, it needs to be a top down cultural thing, every meeting needs someone actively "quarterbacking" it and needs to be aggressively steering the meeting back on topic. There needs to be a culture of, "If I have nothing to contribute to this meeting, I do not attend or I will leave." Meetings need to be scheduled for an hour with the goal of finishing after 30 minutes, and if there's "extra time" you are simply done. Things like that. The problem to me isn't the number of meetings or the meetings themselves, just how many unnecessary parties get added to them or how much time is wasted in them by having no one actively leading/steering the conversation (which absolutely no one wants to do, especially in cross-functional meetings where there is no clear lead)

> France is the most natural comparison point to Britain, a country ‘notoriously heavily regulated and dominated by labour unions.’

The UK is actually much more unionised than France is: 22% vs 10%.

The difference is a culture of strikes, especially in public services and state-owned copanies, combined with a very high protection for strike action in France: The right to strike is actually in the French Constitution and requires neither recognised union nor ballot, but technically only to find another employee to agree with you.

> JVMs imposing an 8-24 byte overhead per object

You want project Valhalla, or more specifically Value Objects, which are in preview [0]. If you really want the highest performance related to cache accesses, you want to arrange things as SoA (struct of arrays) anyway, which has approx 0 object overhead and doesn't require Value Objects.

> Not only is the overhead bad, it's implementation-dependent, i.e. unpredictable.

This is silly. This happens with all other languages, and Java will give you better results on average. Use a different compiler or runtime for your C code, or run it on a different processor architecture, and have fun tuning your code.

> That, along with lacking SIMD

The Vector API [1] is available in preview.

> imposing stupid decisions like bounds checks on all array accesses

It's widely understood that doing the opposite has been perhaps one of the largest mistakes in the history of the industry. JITs elide access checks when safe, and it's easier for them to do with high performance code that doesn't bounce around in memory and thrash cache.

> making arrays boxed (int[] is not an array of ints, sorry)

What does this even mean? An int[] is a linear array of 32-bit int values in memory.

You can't just say "Appeal to law fallacy", nothing else, and then move on. You haven't made an argument.

Britain is one of the richest countries on Earth (21st in terms of GDP/capita, and many countries ranked above it are tiny ones). This compares favourably to its most similar neighbour, France (23rd), which also suffered the same economic shocks of WW2 and decolonisation.

A more accurate title might be "Why is the US so rich?". The answer to this is simply that the US has profound natural resources, and the US did not have to engage in defensive total war during WW2 so all of those resources could be put to an economic purpose for the entire 20th century. The US never had to go through decolonisation because it long ago decided to exterminate the native people instead. Britain's wealth was tied up in far away colonial dominions that understandably wanted to take that wealth with them.

Anyone who has seen more of the world than the US and Europe can appreciate that Britain is not poor under any meaningful definition of the word. It's an economically average medium-sized Western European country.

Land is the problem. The cost and the restrictions on it. The right like to paint this as "too much protection for newts", the left as rich pensioners not wanting solar to "spoil their view", but regardless the inability for us to JFDI is the root cause.

Of course even when we can do it, the land owners extract all the value. While the working man paid for crossrail with a little input from businesses which benefited, the people that really benefited were London land owners, who saw their land near crossrail stations balloon in value even more.

Actually it isn't. There's plenty of new open source being developed. When a project gets big enough, some kind of formal support structure has to emerge. I can't think of a single time I looked at someone's profile on Stack Overflow and allowed credentials to override working, well-written code.

I'm not part of Python governance, but after over 25 years of writing Python code, it makes me sad that you feel that way. On the whole, the Python community has been awesome online and in person. It sounds like you had a really bad experience. I've had a few bad experiences with other open-source projects, and every time, it was really just a case of I had what I thought was a great idea, and the project owners thought differently. Looking back on it, I probably didn't have as great of an idea as I thought I had at the time.
I wouldn't be surprised if this was true for most countries/states on this planet, also in the USA. Especially when the countries are as centralized as England and France. England without London loses like 20% of its population and probably even a higher percentage of its jobs.

And yet, as the article points out, the French populace and infrastructure is doing far better than the UK's.

Everything you point out (decolonization, etc) is as true of the French as it is of the British. Yet, one of the major themes of the article is comparing the UK with France.
These still hold up, and I think they're a great first step. But they no longer get you to the goal line. Think about it more as conceptual practice, before you enter the jungle.

The money you have to pay taxes comes from public spending. The government has to spend first before collecting taxes, that's how money works. The money to buy government bonds comes from spending too. In fact, if the government didn't spend, there would be no money. When the government spends more than it taxes, it allows people to save and invest. When it restricts spending, people get into debt and can't earn a living. This is basic accounting.
