Cumpiler asked two very clear and direct questions:

>How many countries has China invaded and bombed in the last 30 years?
>How many deaths did China's warmongering caused abroad?

You didn't answer those, just started hand waving some stuff about China's "own form of colonialism" -- without even explaining what that is and how it works (which personally I'd be curious to hear about, and believe *is*" likely guilty of violence).

So you very clearly are the one guilty of shifting the goalposts, going on tangents, and bringing up usernames instead of real arguments.

Of course, you could debate just how close Musk's views are to the tenants of National Socialism, but the point is that his rhetoric and actions closely mirror some of the more vile parts of that ideology and could encourage people to act in certain ways that are detrimental to the safety of certain groups.

Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on," Ellison said, describing what he sees as the benefits from automated oversight from AI and automated alerts for when crime takes place. "We're going to have supervision," he continued. "Every police officer is going to be supervised at all times, and if there's a problem, AI will report the problem and report it to the appropriate person.

What is far more important to understand is to ignore all that nonsense and focus on who makes money? It will be Ellison and his buddies making tens of billions of dollars/year selling 'solutions' to local governments, all paid by your property taxes. This also enables an ecosystem of theft, where others benefit a lot more. With the nexus of Private Prisons, kids for cash judges (or judges investing in stock of prisons), DEA/police unions, DEA unions, small rural towns increasing prison population (because they get added to the total pop, and get funds allocated).

More importantly this is extremely attractive to police who can steal billions every day from civil forfeiture, they have access to anyone who makes a bank withdrawal or transacts in cash, all displayed in real time feeds, ready for grabbing!

They're in fact now the 5th largest economy [1], behind Russia and India. And they'll keep going down.

And this was the point - the reason you are able to use them as an example of a country that endlessly prints money without being ravaged by the countless problems places like the US have suffered since 1971 is because their economy is basically frozen in time. This is undesirable.

The ideal one wants is an economy that can increase at a healthy rate without being ravaged by everything we've seen since 1971. And what's the solution? Practically everything before 1971!

In that case there would be no inflation or deflation, assuming a fixed money supply and no economic growth. However, the the key here is that the government, the federal government anyways, is spending money regardless of the tax break. Anytime the government writes a check, that's a little bit more money floating around; anytime the government collects some money, such as taxes, there's that much less money to be had. Every tax break causes the money supply to increase more relative to if the tax break did not exist, causing more inflation (or less deflation, if that were the case). If the government spent exactly as much as it taxed, then there would be... actually deflation, because the economy is growing. This is the basics of fiscal policy.

There's also the monetary policy, which is when the federal reserve does this on purpose. The general principle is the same, but instead it spends its money buying bonds and gets its money selling those bonds, and creates a bunch of rules about where banks keep their money so it always has some money on hand.

Your analogy is a good one. We can respect people's religious beliefs and understand that challenging them isn't appropriate in a work environment.

But this isn't about a work environment. There are many issues where LGBTQ identities and desires overlap with concerns society has about them. Religion is the same way. American society has chosen to give religions more leeway than most societies do. We are currently choosing that for LGBTQ rights, but it's often predicated on the idea that sexuality and gender identity are innate and immutable. Science doesn't actually back this up, and so the pendulum for us as a society to decide where the boundary between personal rights and societal wants / needs lie is up for debate, except we tend to avoid the topic. That's what I meant.

My working definition is that a unit is something which can be unit-tested. By that I mean: the code being tested has the same properties that you expect of a good unit-test. I guess fast and deterministic are good enough properties for a working definition.

writeFile(fname,"Hello, World") is only one thing, but its behavior will depend on the state of the filesystem, so it's not a unit.

parseComplicatedObject(bytes) could be a unit (even if it calls out to many other sub-parsers - as long as they are also units).

One thing I see in a lot of companies is efforts to reduce test flakiness. Devs will attempt this work in src/test. But if the code is flaky, and you change the test from flaky to reliable, then you have just decreased the realism of your test. Like I mentioned with my comment above, you reduce test flakiness by doing the hard work in src/main. The src/test changes should be easy after that.
Yeah, drawing everything to the screen every frame makes a lot of things easy. You can just update state and it will get drawn on the next frame.

DOM UI libraries like React have the harder problem of surgical tree updates since they can't just redraw from scratch.

It's where all of their complexity comes from. Not even React's basic primitives like useState would be necessary if you were just going to redraw the whole UI on the next frame.

Does this intersect with the net neutrality debate? The FCC's net neutrality rules were focused on ISPs. But is there really a fundamental difference between an ISP and a big internet portal with respect to the value of neutrality?

Net neutrality was designed to ensure that all data on the internet is treated equally by ISPs and governments, regardless of content, user, platform, application, or device. -- https://www.investopedia.com/terms/n/net-neutrality.asp

Once it would have been considered easier to switch an ISP than a social network, and that justifies different treatment. But the network effect has often proven an insurmountable garden wall for social network users. It's not clear to me that it is logically or ethically consistent to regulate neutrality for one but not the other.

> Is this a reflection of the sad state of C library packaging?

No, it's more of a reflection of how many different ISAs and compilers there are for C.

To get a packaging system going for C you'd have to support quite a few of them and, even then, some degree of forensic analysis would have to be done for existing codebases in order to determine if they truly support what they claim to support.

For instance, in 2017 I had to modify hiredis to properly support the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 since it had quite a few instances of type punning which were causing bus errors.

Did hiredis support this platform in 2017? Who knows?! Hell, it doesn't even mention on its GitHub which ISAs and compilers it's intended to support.

At MINIMUM, packages need something akin to the table on the following page in order to get a packaging system going for C: https://liblfds.org

I work with C daily. Unfortunately, I so often have to patch dependencies to work on the targets I support that I'm in the habit of "vendoring" any code I depend on. This practice, I imagine, is pretty common for multi-platform C projects.
I don't know how true this really is, but I read somewhere there is a generational divide now, where older people are happy to see an SMS and leave it to respond later, perhaps days later, while the younger generation would consider "being left on read" as an offence and therefore would feel compelled to immediately act on it to not offend.
> Is this a reflection of the sad state of C library packaging?

No, it is a sad state of the ability of C to encapsulate things. You cannot define vector<T> in C. Using some macros you probably can devise a way to get an implementation of a dynamic array for your type of an element, but... macros... And in any case it probably will be ugly. If you can implement hash table in a few dozen of lines, it is much better.

The "Tolstoy Problem" is an interesting phenomenon that occurs to me from time to time.

Paraphrased, if I know I am close to death, maybe an hour away, and I know there's no time left to change things, how will I feel about my legacy or net outcome of my existence?

I find it a useful contemplative exercise that everyone could do from time to time, especially a few world leaders IMHO.

It's easy for one's subconscious to feed the line that, yes, I'll sort it all out tomorrow. But it's the "no time left" constraint that focuses the mind.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned yet is LeechBlock for Firefox. With it, you can set up site block lists that will either never allow access or allow access after a period of time (60 seconds default) and on a schedule.

I have found this helps because when the motivation is that dopamine hit, the delayed start generally gives me enough time to think, "I should be doing something better with my time."

Edit: of course you can reconfigure and delete LeechBlock, but if you are committed to reduced scrolling it helps. (Obviously I haven't been able to do it with hackernews yet.)

Turbo is just a front-end library it doesn't matter what your backend stack is. You can do all of that with a MPA approach, including partial DOM updates, with just the JSON API for your mobile apps being the missing part simply due to not needing it for the browser implementation. Serializing JSON on the backend and transforming it into HTML via React should always be slower than just sending the same HTML over the wire. I'll have to benchmark Pocket SQL to get frontend numbers, but it is perceptibly instant with requests taking single-digit ms, so it's not like the server-rendering part of it is slow. I'm glad the SPA approach worked out back then! The point I'm making is that MPAs are worth another try with modern tooling.

> and the response is: "But how are you ever going to make money off that"

I believe one cause for this response is how someone tells the other person about that idea. If you make it clear that you are building something for fun, I think that response becomes less likely. But if they believe your project idea is also a start up idea, then they may ask about the business side.

Sometimes I do see a cognitive dissonance when computer-first people and business-first people discuss software. IMO, making it clear where the person starting the conversation is coming from would help both groups not talk past each other when engaging. A startup-minded person won't necessarily ask about monetization if the other person made it clear they're talking about a hobby. I believe it would be less likely, at least.
That's because it would get stuck when it's below zero centigrade.

Usually a sign of great discussion when someone responds with "sigh" to a reasonably presented argument.
I find this topic particularly interesting. I've often said to others that software, in itself, is a general abstraction of one or more complex tasks. The whole point of software is to hide complexity and make possible, in a hopefully simpler manner, doing things that would otherwise be very difficult or impossible. Despite what users may experience, the complexity remains but becomes hidden.
