Consider legacy: yes.

Throw away the codebase: no, until you have a well-working, battle-tested replacement. I mean, yes, it's possible to do, and you can even run e.g. Java under z/OS on the same in-house mainframe hardware because you can't trust the public cloud. But you still have to do the massive work of reverse-engineering the ancient, scantly documented Cobol codebase, write a modern replacement, cover a ton of corner cases, run in in prod as a shadow that does all the same work, and comparing the results with the load-bearing Cobol codebase, and switch over very carefully.

Depending on the size of your codebase, the complexity of your processes, the strength of your need for change, and the quality of your engineering org, the above may be a very costly process. Few managers are comfortable to approve such a large cost without a very clear return on this investment. Hence we'll see Cobol running for a few decades more.

I absolutely love it. USB-C is easily among my top 3 changes for the better on iPhones in the last 10 years.

If "Wi-Fi Aware" (almost as ridiculous a name as "Bluetooth Low Energy", but that's a different topic) ends up allowing Android to iOS file transfers without any third-party apps or network connectivity – like feature phones could, 20 years ago – that'll make the top three too.
This is great progress! If a solution like this can reduce global hard plastic usage by even 1%, that would be a massive impact.

It's encouraging to see smart people attacking this hard problem persistently, delivering new solutions, and inching us closer to a real breakthrough with each iteration.

It's also entirely possible, maybe even likely, for people to get burnt out doing something they love because we don't set the natural boundaries we would with something we're strictly doing pragmatically.

Nah, it is not. It really is not true that this would be the only main complaint. They also complain about content they dont like existing, about public schools existing on principle, about made up gender issues and so on and so forth.

I do care about the environment but at the moment I'm watching Britain (i.e. home, there are many like it but this one is mine) basically sacrifice itself at the alter of net zero while India proudly announces that it's extracted a _billion_ tons of coal this year.

Energy is expensive and unreliable. Why? Well, its either because we aren't doing enough net zero, or because we have an _enormous_ supply-side restriction enforced by the state. Not all of which is due to environmentalism, to be clear.

I remember having conversations with "serious" adults when I was 14 about why it was mad to bet the house on wind and solar (Nuclear was very uncool at the time). Lo and behold a decade later, we really, really, need that baseload.

There are no energy-poor rich countries.

Some are completely happy being poorer and colder but I think something will snap soon in Britain in particular. Blair will have Ed Miliband disapeared soon.
Seems like a common theme here. Push manufacturing to another country - that country becomes adept, dominates, and branches out. Primary country can't compete, complains, and put up tariffs to try to bring manufacturing back that it chose to give up to begin with.

The screen keeps me on macbooks as well (well, and the touchpad, the speakers, and the lack of fan noise).

But it is baffling how 1920x1080 (or 1200p) are still the "standard" elsewhere. If I want an X1 carbon, the best screen you can get at 14" right now is 2880x1800 (2.8k). Spec it with 32GB of RAM and it's clocking in at $2700, for a laptop that still has a worse trackpad, worse sound, and worse screen than a 14" MBP at $2399. And the Ultra7 in the thinkpad still doesn't beat the Mac, and it'll be loud with worse battery life.

There truly is nothing else out there with the same experience as an Apple Silicon MBP or Air.

So, my only options for the foreseeable future is wait for Asahi Linux, or suck it up and deal with macOS because at this rate I don't think there will ever be a laptop with the same quality (across all components) of the mac that can run Linux. The only one that came remotely close is the Surface Laptop 7 with the Snapdragon elite, but no Linux on that.

At least as far as I can tell, this seems to be a solved problem. USB-C ports on iPhones are holding up just fine.

I'll take a 1% higher chance of a port wearing out over a 100% chance of needing to always carry two cables and not being able to share accessories with Android users any day.
COBOL engineers are about the lowest on the pay grade and steadily deliver (when they are involved). Peanuts compared to any fancy consultant invited to draw cloud architectures with unrealistic expectations or timeframes. So this workforce cost argument does not hold water. However, licenses are very expensive indeed, which is why there are migration pathways for COBOL-on-other-platforms. But a migration is much less sexy than a rewrite (AI supported) so there.

Intel CPUs from that era were quite bad and everyone has upped their ante since then. I was thinking about getting a second hand from ~2021-2022, but my wife convinced me to get a new one, so I got a Gen 5 T14 AMD. It has a Ryzen 7 Pro 8840U and I rarely hear the fans, mostly only when Nix has to rebuild some large packages (running NixOS unstable-small).

A sibling comment nailed most of it, but a few other thoughts:

- There are some students with disabilities that are extremely expensive to serve. Private schools don’t want them. Small public schools don’t want them.

If you take the pool of education dollars, divide by the number of students, and issue vouchers for that amount, you’ll get private schools siphoning off the highest margin kids, and public schools in a death spiral. That may feel more “fair” to you as a parent of a low-needs kid, but we live in a society, not a Mad Max-style dystopia.

I have two low-needs/high-performing kids. Vouchers would definitely benefit my family. Public school frustrates me to no end. But I want to make it better, not retreat to an enclave and let the plebeians eat each other.

- Schools in many ways look like a “natural monopoly”. Duplicating facilities (playgrounds, cafeterias, gyms, etc.) is economically inefficient. Ditto for specialty instructors (art/music/PE). You don’t want 10 schools competing for 300 kids, just like you don’t want 10 electric companies competing for 3000 homes. The goal is to craft policies that avoid as many of the downsides of monopolies as possible. I wish I saw the opposition to public schools digging in on the reasons they’re performing poorly. I do think there are viable reforms if the political will materializes.

I have one that happened about 30 minutes ago :)

My daughter who is 3 is only recently poddy-trained. She now knows to go to the bathroom next to her room. Before she was trained we had a "portable" toilet (think plastic bowl sitting in a toy-like toilet shell basically) she would occasionally use in her room.

Similarly we've recently trained her when she's done with eating to bring the plate to me or my wife to clean/put up (she can't reach any countertops).

Today she had to go and my wife was in the shower so she couldn't use her normal bathroom. She used her portable toilet, picked it up, and brought it to me to clean :).

This sort of "logic" happens all the time every day and I probably miss 90% of it but I definitely thought of it when I read your question.
OP is right, but apart from that, this is one of the best written pieces I've read in an age. Agree, disagree, but it's so well written it's mesmerizing.

I want to focus on something you said here:
>In contemporary society there's no real difference between a capitalist and a worker.

The difference is access to capital. Just like it was 150 years ago. Workers don't have enough holdings to sustain themselves without selling their body. Capitalists have enough holdings to not have to sell their body and can instead put their money to work through various means like entrepreneurship.

Also, I didn't even bring up the Down to the Countryside program as a good aspect of Mao... But since you brought it up, I figured I'd mention that his "harebrained schemes" doubled the life expectancy in China rather quickly. Like all world leaders I've studied, he did great things, and he did horrible things.

> Because of how effective this is for catching even fairly minor violations like failure to pay vehicle tax, number plate cloning is becoming pretty common (comparatively) in the UK.

Evidence of number plate cloning would reduce revenue from fines. If the government wants to fine you for not paying your vehicle tax, evidence that someone cloned your plate would be exculpatory, so it's in the government's best interest to not collect that evidence in the first place.

There's a difference between "black people in x city are y% more likely per capita to commit violent crime" and "black people are violent thugs". One is a statistical reality that can be used in a constructive context. ("Okay, so what can we do to reduce this crime rate? Better education? Community outreach? Etc.") the other is probably just bigotry.

The same goes for the difference between "Police departments in the US have y% higher rate of excessive use of force than other countries" and "police are violent thugs".

Yes. It makes me lazy, and I take longer because I keep prompting the machine to fix its mistakes rather than understanding how its code works and why it's stuck.

So I use it for brainstorming, and as a temporary crutch for working with unfamiliar languages/frameworks/tools, and wean myself off it as quickly as I can.

For my work, which is very research and CS theory-heavy, I'm faster without it.

A long-term thing. In the Netherlands decades ago a huge gas reserve was found. And it made us Dutch (and esp. Exxon and Shell) rich. And the region where it was discovered? The Dutch government left the people in the province of Groningen with billions of earthquake damage, destroyed homes, and a fight of a lifetime to get proper compensation. This has been a huge topic in Dutch politics for some time now, and finally the decision was to close the gas fields to spare further damages to the inhabitants living above them.

> I've fully focussed on the second approach. As a consequence, each article takes a lot of time to complete, so I generally don't finish more than one per month.

This is what I've been running into. My approach comes out of writing a bunch of code or re-writing the same sort of code across multiple projects and realizing it would be useful to share. Next I'll dump all the code into a blog post and have to start formulating what the structure of the post will be. What content do I need to add to support my claims that this code is correct (or correct enough to use)? Add in time to research alternative approaches to the code, research and write about the alternatives.

I've found that I'm proud of my finished articles but it takes awhile to get them written. I'm in the midst of one that I've kind of hit a writers block on because I have a fair bit of research left to do. I haven't been motivated to do the research and write up the findings. However, I feel like thats normal and I'll get back to it at some point.

There was a huge revolution in understanding taxonomy when we started actually genetically testing various organisms. Before then, we had to categorize things based on the fossil record and based on similar structures, but it turns out a lot of very similar looking things aren't actually more related to each other than they are to very dissimilar looking things.

I do think there's an argument to be made that there should be a paradigm that describe organisms that are functionally the same within an ecosystem but genetically quite different other than "convergent evolution."

I did checked them. And while it is not perfect, it is not a massive horrible disaster conservatives like to make it. It is just not unfixably broken as it is called. Compared to Europe, it does fine, being above average or around there depending on the test.

Also, America do tend to be country of extremes, so it has some very good public schools and some bad ones. Bad ones being in poor place. And it just so happen that the countries doing better tend to have less poverty and less issues related to it.

> I am not convinced that domain driven design works. Objects doesn't model the real world well.

DDD does not necessitate OOP. You can do DDD in functional languages. I think there's a whole F# book about it. So I think you can conclude that OOP doesn't model the world well, which may or may not be true, but I think it's not valid to extend the conclusion to DDD. Is there a DDD-inherent reason why you think DDD does not work?

> And why do we even need to model something?

Well I suppose it depends on your definition of "model", but aren't you by necessity modeling something when you write software? Somewhere in your software there is a user thingy/record/object/type/dictionary/struct which is an imperfect and incomplete representation of a real life person. I.e., a model.
