Not to start a big discussion about WW2 but the US was passive until they were attacked. Over 2000 Americans were killed in Pearl Harbor. For a nation of its size and power, the US was decidedly un-imperialist up until then. Even after they'd beat the Nazis and Imperial Japan, they actually helped rebuild their economies instead of exploiting them. Granted, that might have been the smarter thing to do anyway and turned out a win-win. But it wasn't how most leaders thought at the time. Look at the Soviet Union and how they ended up oppressing the territories they "liberated". The Western allies also wanted to keep Germany down, as did some in the US government (see the Morgenthau Plan for example). Had they prevailed there might soon have been another war.

I wholeheartedly agree. Subdomains exist for a reason. Vanity domains are so incredibly sloppy and unserious.

Another issue is that they can make password management more of a chore. Every time I need to look up my Microsoft login, I have to remember to actually look up “live.com”. Except sometimes the login page is served from “microsoft.com”. Oops, you forgot your password and reset it; now your password for the other domain is out of date. Utterly ridiculous behavior from a company of their stature.
I misinterpreted your comment initially, you’re citing the FAA: ‘To qualify as an amateur rocket, the launch must be suborbital, not have any humans onboard, remain under 150 km (93.2 statute miles), and have a total impulse under 200,000 lb-sec (889,600 Newton seconds).’

I’m sure you would get punished but what are they going to do about your rocket once it’s up there?

> Seeing people this way can be condescending, but also gentle: it nods to the basic psychological needs that often drive our behavior.

I think the author is on to something. We are far less willing to ascribe psychological motivations to other adults than we are to children. People are happy to say that a child is "shy" or "jealous" or "grumpy because they are hungry."

It's possible that the construction of adult identity means hiding one's psychological motivations from others, and we learn this from the shame of having adults reduce our needs and desires to something other than our own self-narrative.

This is understandable, but maybe we should be learning the opposite lesson. Every human is a psychological being, and it's actually easier to be empathetic when you're aware of your own motivators and look from them in others.
Interesting idea, but it seems to be tied to react, which IMO is too far in the other direction.

My experience is the opposite - kids have a natural sense of fairness, which is of course heavily bent by self interest. Assuming you yourself are not transparently full of sh_t, you can usually get them to appreciate your position if you can explain it to them on their level.

Clangd just works, and quite nicely, for me in Emacs, didn't even need to install any external package besides clang-tools from my distro's repository. I don't get this argument at all. The dependency management advantage is probably cool until you realize you can basically only trust distro maintainers to provide long term support for dependencies and crates makes it much harder for them, and makes programs less likely to remain secure in the long run. Who's going to fix a heap of Rust abandonware when an exploit is found in their transient dependencies?
The problem is that it's replacing (or attempting to, at least) an era of policy already led by ideology and cynicism, and all it's really adding is the contrarianism. Too many papers published in peer reviewed journals have turned out to be utter bilge, accepted only because they fit the preconceptions of the reviewers.

This would be fine if we hadn't elevated the epistemological standing of "published in a peer reviewed journal" so far that it's treated as nearly the same as "true" instead of a more accurate "something that somebody claims." It would also be fine if we never based public policy on unreplicated or cherry picked research, and always considered the possibility that even the consensus view might be wrong. (Look how many "consensus views" of the 1700-1800s are now seen as bunk.)

I'm all for evidence based policy, but for that to work we need a robust mechanism for evidence that contradicts the prevailing narrative to be heard, evaluated, and fairly assessed.
Adults behave this way all the time.

To be fair: restaurant-style deep frying involves keeping oil hot for long periods of time, and more unsaturated fats are less stable. All these cheap seed oils are quite high in polyunsaturated fatty acids, they often (AFAICT) have preservatives added to try to stabilize them, and all the papers suggest that frying oil that’s been used for a few hours contains lots of stuff that is not present in fresh oil. If you want good performance out of an unmodified oil from a plant, you end up with peanut oil (a bit more expensive) or something like avocado or coconut oil (very expensive). Seriously: go shop at a restaurant supply site for frying oils, and you’ll discover a lot of options like “soybean oil based”. Or you can use animal fats.

And competently-done deep frying doesn’t result in much absorption of the oil into the food. But, as the oil polymerizes, it gets stickier and more ends up in the food.

(Yes, those apparently healthy oils, high in polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids, are even unstable at room temperature. Old flaxseed oil is sticky and utterly disgusting. Old canola oil is not quite as nasty smelling but still rather sticky.)

Pico was meant to shine for much of the education half (e.g. micro-python controlled mini robots without the hassle of complex and poorly supported developer environments, OS management and configuration, or hardware complexity at a couple $ cost point), not the interactive media half (which would target the Zero 2W usage case over a full blown PC style Pi).

The compute module variants do tend to shine in the edge robotics niche where you need to do some processing in a custom form factor and don't want to design or source a SoC directly... but you don't really need the "rest of the PC" the standard Pi models provide. Pis (any model) are a bit of a shit fit for edge AI in general though. The memory bandwidth is god awful (even compared to cheaper SBCs) and the hardware to meaningfully offload matrix operations just isn't there like it is in a lot of other embedded boards fit for purpose. This leaves you spending more $ to use more Watts for less AI compute vs typical embedded AI options.

The Pi foundation's big break was targeting ultra low cost markets (i.e. sub $50 TCO) with a well supported device that has/had a lot of hacker community mindshare. Any product they've made beyond that focus (i.e. not the embedded or microcontroller variants) has been a pretty bad technology fit which ends up in more drawers than deployments despite the hype.

> One reason that this approach to database design probably hasn't been tried before is that there's dozens of database client driver implementations.

Or it could be that the added complexity simply doesn’t provide any benefits. What benefits would splitting up the query planner between the DB and its clients provide? Computing a query plan isn’t the expensive part of executing a query.

You’re suggesting that it’s a good idea for databases to expose their core internal APIs, which are tightly coupled to their underlying storage subsystems, to some kind of magic query planner that runs in the client. Basically ensuring that you can’t ever modify those APIs without breaking every existing client out there. Effectively you would force every DB to require their clients to be updated in perfect lock-step with the DB itself. All to achieve what? A saving of a few milliseconds on un-prepared queries?

Simply put, there are much more sensible ways to reducing the cost of query parsing and planning. As it happens every DB worth talking about already implements those optimisation in the form of prepared queries. What benefit would moving where the query planner is executed provide?

I would also highlight that if you go an look at DBs built from the ground up for massive scale and parallelisation, they still run their query planners on a single node to figure out how best to break up a query for distributed execution. Nobody is attempting to distribute the actual query planning part of a DB.
A sociopath might hurt some one and not care. A child(well, until a certain age) hasn't made the connection that flinging their leg around and hitting someone can hurt them and thats bad.

> Strangely few of them leave. There is a lot of "grass is greener" in British pessimism about their country.

Talk to your average kid stuck in 90% of the one-time industrial towns north of London and the grass isn’t just greener… the fact they’ll never be able to afford to go doesn’t mean they wouldn’t at the drop of a hat if they could.

> Most do not, but most never did

There’s no obviously valid complaint about those who come here, pay international fees, maybe work a few years while paying taxes and NHS premiums, then go elsewhere or home.

Come to think of it there’s very little obvious complaint about those who choose to come here legally, get an education at inflated cost to subsidize lower fees for the locals who tend not to avail themselves of them, then immigrate instead.

Except, that is, from the older folk in those post-industrial towns, who don’t want to go anywhere they might have to speak foreign or eat anything but Sunday roast with proper British potatoes (that they bought from Aldi)… they seem to have a lot of less than obvious complaints.

I recently transferred all my domains and cancelled a DNSimple account I’ve had for more than a decade for similar reasons.

A couple years ago they migrated me to a more expensive plan with no notice, I had to catch the price difference on an invoice. I wasn’t happy but it’s a lot of work to transfer domains.

Recently I discovered they introduced a plan that fit my usage and cost 50% less, but (would you believe it) they didn’t bother quietly migrating me to that plan…

These guys can’t be trusted.

no, it's not the Peter Principle.

The Peter Principle is pointing out that if you keep getting promoted by doing an exceptional job, and you stop getting promoted when you stop, that you have ended up leaving a job you were exceptional at, and landing in a job you are not good at. In a certain sense it's saying "you should be demoted back to your last job that you were exceptional at"; it's not suggesting that, it's suggesting a sort of snarky "this whole system is set up to fail" because it's from a "isn't capitalism grubby" perspective.

None of this flavor is in the general YC scaling case, though you may be able to find it in various places within that.
> But Erlang itself, as a language, doesn't even have function-reference literals; you usually just pass {FunctionName, Arity} tuples around.

I don't really understand what a literal is, but isn't fun erlang:node/0 a literal? It operates the same way as 1, which I'm quite sure is a numeric literal:

Eshell V12.3.2.17 (abort with ^G)
1> F = fun erlang:node/0.
fun erlang:node/0
2> X = 1.
1
3> F.
fun erlang:node/0
4> X.
1

I set the variable to the thing, and then when I output the variable, I see the same value I set. AFAIK, both 1 and fun erlang:node/0 must both be literals, as they behave the same; but I'm happy to learn otherwise.
> JS is more readable, without a doubt

In what sense?

Haskell's: strSum = sum . map read . words

in JS would be: const strSum = str => str.split(' ').map(Number).reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0);

for a person who's not already a JS programmer, the first one would be more readable (without a doubt), it literally reads like plain English: "sum of mapped read of words".

Haskell's version is more "mathematical" and straightforward. Each function has one clear purpose. The composition operator clearly shows data transformation flow. No hidden behavior or type coercion surprises.

Whereas JS version requires knowledge of:

- How Number works as a function vs constructor

- Implicit type coercion rules

- Method chaining syntax

- reduce()'s callback syntax and initial value

- How split() handles edge cases

So while the JS code might look familiar, it actually requires more background knowledge and consideration of implementation details to fully understand its behavior. Javascript is far more complex language than most programmers realize. btw, I myself don't write Haskell, but deal with Javascript almost daily and I just can't agree that JS is "more readable" than many other PLs. With Typescript it gets even more "eye-hurting".

On which timeframe tho? Many great artists did not sell well during their lifetime, Van Gogh being the most famous example.

Was Van Gogh a great artist because at some point in the future his works are among the most expensive ones ever sold sold? Or was he a bad artist, that turned great after his death when the market favored him more?

If it is the former, every artist could potentially sell well in the remaining time of human civilization — how far in the future do you draw the line?

If it is the latter then we get the paradoxical situation, that the same work can be both great and bad depending on the observers time reference. So the same painting is bad, until someone "discovers" it and manages ro produce economic hype around it.

As someone with a MA of art who has probably seen more exhibitions than most people on this site (including the last 5 Biennales and the last 3 Documentas) my guess is: great art is great even before it is commercially successful.

Whether it then turns out to be economically successful as well (and when) hinges on many different factors, like the Zeitgeist, pure chance, where it was exhibited or next to what it was exhibited, how the galerist treats the work, how much the artist puts on the market, how the market feels at the time when it is shown etc.

The "greatness" of the work is only a very small factor in the economic success it has, some would even argue it doesn't matter as much as one would think.

But all of that matters on how we define "great". If you are a rich collector that sees art as an investment it is just about the numbers, then great art is only art that you have and that sells for more than you bought it. You'd define it differently depending on who you are: artist, art historian, galerist, lay person, crafts person, journalist, copyright lawyer, restaurator, ..

> It's possible to adopt “adults are just giant kids” as a lens through which to see other people. A work colleague is unreasonably angry at being left off an e-mail chain—but don’t playmates always hate being left out? An elderly relative refuses assistance—but doesn’t every child insist, “I can do it myself”? Seeing people this way can be condescending, but also gentle: it nods to the basic psychological needs that often drive our behavior.

It's interesting that we're more willing to be understanding of adult misbehavior if we start by infantilizing them. Yes, we're predisposed to expect behavior issues with kids without blame, and perhaps to attribute behavior to circumstantial causes (he's cranky because he's tired) rather than stable traits (he's a jerk). But ordinarily we also think of empathy as stemming from relating others mental states to our own experiences. Shouldn't we as adults have a better ability to empathize with adults as adults whose mental lives are more like our own, than by imagining them as kids?
I think the experience of getting older is becoming a superset of all of your past selves, not replacing them with newer versions.

I'm in my 40s, and I have thoughts and feelings that my in my 30s wouldn't relate to or understand. I have a sensation of time and patience that would be alienating to my younger self. Time feels frighteningly finite in ways it never did before.

But I also still fully remember what it was like to be in my 30s, that heady mixture of feeling like I'd blossomed into a certain level of competence and maturity while still feeling like I was in the full flush of health and with most of my life ahead of me. That 30-something me is still inside me, alive today.

And I'm still the 20-something me, excited to get out of the house and experience new things, reckless enough to want to do things to excess because I hadn't experienced that many consequences yet, still romanticizing romance itself.

And so on.

We never stop being our previous selves, we just invite more new selves into that growing collection.
