In my opinion the tooling like sbt, scalafmt, ... is actually semi decent, but the LSP is a pain to use.

The only way I'm productive on scala is on Intellij, as soon as I have to even glance at the metals LSP implementation my productivity skydives

This is compounded by the fact that most good AI editors are based on VSCode, which means I either have to suffer through it, or alt-tab to intellij any time I want to edit code
I mean, you’re making the same sort of NTS argument here, aren’t you?

> Some suburbs are like what you describe, but most are exactly like what OP links to.

Without defining what constitutes a suburb, how can you argue that most are good? Your argument hinges on your own definition of suburb IMHO.

I’m not sure what the right answer is, but in my experience most people mean post-war development patterns when they talk about suburbs, but in any case it probably doesn’t hurt to be more precise about what we are praising or criticizing.
Wonderful, good job!

Sure, we’re quibbling over when we measure the status quo. I’m measuring it across the election, pre and post. If you don’t vote you effectively endorsed the outcome even if you came up with some bizarre logic around why that isn’t the case. (Similarly, a vote for a third party in a swing state is de facto a vote for the major candidate you wouldn’t have voted for.)

To the point here, Americans who didn’t vote bear responsibility for our current political situation.
Currently IDPs don't care about user public keys. OpenPubkey manages to slip the user's public key into an issued ID Token without the IDP having to know about it.

Ideally IDPs are CAs for identity and ID Tokens have a public key field.

There are neat projects and standards to do this like OIDC-squared [0] and OIDC4VC [1] but it is unclear if IDPs will implement them if they are standardized. We do have DPoP now [2] but it isn't available for any of the usecases that are important to me. OpenPubkey is largely an productive expression of my frustration with public keys in tokens being a promised feature that never arrives.

in the perfect world we would have a very high trust internet in which everyone follows the rules, checks robots.txt, rate limits, etc. But we don't live in such a world. Getting angry at these ai bots is useless. People should start considering what and how they host their data. If you're worried about bandwidth costs you have many alternatives to host your data for free or at a very little cost. i.e: github/gitlab/cloudflare.

If you're worried about your data getting scraped and used then maybe you can consider putting it behind a login or do some proof of work/soft captcha. Yeah, this isn't perfect but it will keep most dumb bots away.

Some people are hosting their sites like we're still in 1995 and times have changed.
I was half way through a project when the licensing change happened, I had to abandon Akka as a result.

I find it important to consider what is motivating whataboutism in general. It usually comes off to me as a mazy argument, but its an attempt to point out inconsistency of one's opinions.

The problem isn't when someone raises a "but what about..." argument, the problem is if someone uses it to retroactively justify something.

Its totally fair, in my opinion, to ask why someone should care about this Signal chat if they didn't care about Hillary Clinton's personal email server. On the flip side, its also reasonable to ask why someone wouldn't care about this signal chat if they previously wanted to put Hillary in prison for using her email server for official communications.

True. But this does not require full semantic analysis, it only requires distinguishing between typedef names and other identifiers. You can argue that this part of semantic analysis, but this would be rather pedantic. Tracking this could equally seen as part of parsing.

This is a place where you have to be extremely aware of survivor bias.

You also have to be very careful about inflation adjusted dollars vs actual wealth values. For instance the median income in the US in 1933 was between $500 and $1000. Inflation adjusted that’s between 15 and 30k but our median income now is much higher than that.

Anecdotally my grandmother felt she was wealthy compared to her peers in the 1930s because her family could buy a dress per person per year from the Sears catalog.

The problem is that there's not really much more important going on in the world than the US self-deconstructing.

Many other things pale in comparison because the "other things that were important" were greatly facilitated by the US hegemony that's well on its way to burning to the ground.

It's a fundamental misreading of the situation.

Language geeks want language geeking, what Scala users want is a "faster horse". (Faster compiler, nicer project/package manager [sorry sbt], incremental compiler, LSP-compatible compiler, and so on. All good and nice and completely valid and important things!)

Unfortunately usually corporate backers can deliver these things not language researchers.

There's no need for the tooling and community to keep up. If Scala 2.12 is so good for the community stick with it.

The obvious problem is that Scala 3 delivers features (and whatever Odersky et al. cooks up will likely be useful for a lot of Scala users) that incentivizes attention fragmentation.

Yes, it's true that the community cannot keep up. (Yet the community is not a hivemind, it was able to churn out so many effect libs over the years I lost count.)

But it's an unforced error to put this responsibility on the researchers.

This is just G.657B3.

They are all proprietary in their coatings for sure, but it's made to a standard. The only thing is that it's not guaranteed compatible with old G.652 fiber if you try to fusion splice it.

You can get G.657A3 that is, if you want.

But this is representative of A3/B3 cables for sure, and easy to get.

AT&T fiber and Google Fiber actually use this particular stuff in their standard deployments.

Under the covers, most of the glass is usually corning clearcurve zbl (OFS actually makes their own i believe, but for others, less common).

The most common consumer cable these days is G.657A2/B2, which is easily capable of what you see in the video.

As for pricing, i'm not sure what you are paying, but this particular stuff is also easy to get (for a consumer) at 20 cents a foot or less. 1000ft is usually 200 bucks or better. Their are idiots on ebay trying to sell leftovers from fiber installs, but if you go to any really fiber cable seller, that's what you'll pay.

Here are totally custom cuts of 1.6mm outer for 0.25cents/foot:
https://www.fiberinstrumentsales.com/tlc-simplex-sm-clearcur...

if you want 3mm outer, it's 0.35cents/foot:
https://www.fiberinstrumentsales.com/tlc-simplex-sm-clearcur...

FIS is usually expensive, too. I didn't look hard since that seemed "cheap enough" already.

You can certainly get A1/B1 cable for like 18 cents/foot instead of 20, but if your contractors are crushing cables, seems a bit penny wise, pound foolish.

I also wouldn't run simplex cable, as it doesn't make sense anymore.

As expected, 6 fiber versions of the above cables are only marginally more expensive.

For sure, walkability is an important factor. Although I think even with that it depends on what sort of shops are within walking distance.

Years ago my current neighborhood of Williamsburg had mostly local shops -- a locally owned grocery store or two, cafes, bagel shops, bookstores, pharmacies, bodegas, etc. Now it's mainly a corporate wasteland -- Whole Foods, Apple, Sephora, Hermes, Chanel, North Face, Trader Joes, etc etc. By all measures I live in one of the most walkable parts of the most walkable city in the country, but as this corporate takeover has happened the small third spaces are dying or have fully died out (depending on the block). And I find that the feeling of community really has evaporated as that process has unfolded over the past 15-20 years.
Let's just Europe does not send its best to represent itself on social media (a curse we all share, frankly). You talk to enough confidently-ignorant assholes and any desire to be polite vanishes. The number of europeans who think preservatives are illegal in the EU is pretty befuddling.
It's clear that the real problem in Europe is access to risk capital. Startups are no problem, scale-ups are.

Nobody was able to replicate Silicon Valley, not even within US. My opinion is that it's a chicken and egg problem, and Silicon Valley already has crazy risk capital, which will generate more crazy risk capital.
A few months ago our product manager copypasted into a feature squad chat the results of asking an LLM to give some options for encoding route-navigation data for transmission from a server to a client device (both running our software). It gave about ten options ranging from half-decent but over-engineered (e.g. geoJSON) to bizarre (e.g. OSM, rinex, nmea). He didn't let on that it was an LLM response - the implication was that we should work through the list and anlayse the best one. But as both sides were using our own software so we could just use our own JSON encoding. Fortunately the head of engineering was also in the chat, immediately realised what was going on and dismissed the demand. Of course the real issue is that the PM is overreaching, but such behaviour is enabled and/or catalysed by LLMs. I don't doubt that similar things are happening in other companies that don't have the privilege of assertive leaders pushing back. The wasted effort could be significant.

You have some good points, sounds like you are in a well product-focused organization.

Technical contributors work way better together when they are equals in key disciplines.

I think when software is done right it can be a lot more organized than many other technical efforts or engineering tasks too.

I also think it's a good idea to tailor the organization differently when software is the actual salable product versus when it is a component of a fairly dissimilar revenue source.
The "official" line about Europe is "they get to live this way because we protect them" or some such.

Similar things are uttered by the same people about Canada, but with more denigrating comments.

In absolute terms the US is much wealthier than either. But like always with statistics it's important to look at the distribution, not the average.

Staying on topic: the Canadian legal system is probably about as bureaucratically dysfunctional as the US, just without the private super-prisons and the monetary shakedown. Which is to say it's dysfunctional and broke.

> Just like healthcare, US justice is only for people with money.

In most times and places, this is true. Ancient times, recent history, autocracies, democracies...

Justice is expensive.

Justice, and the legal college as an ideal often specifically negates this. Equality before the law. Blind justice, etc.

That said... justice is inevitably ridden with contradiction, hypocrisy and whatnot. That's what justice is.

Degrees vary, but the structure is usually constant.

Say you are a ceo, fund manager or whatnot. You are in dispute with your employer over $10m of compensation. Your bonus, performance-based compensation.

Now imagine that you are a normie, with a dispute over $10k.

Those to legal processes are entirely dissimilar. One will have teams of lawyers, many proceedings. Completely different aspects of justice will come into play. It's a different justice.

There's no way around this.
