There's a sign in Otsuka (northern Tokyo suburb) like "Otsuka has half the crime rate of 10 years ago!" Things are the way they are, up until the moment that they change. Things can change if people will it into existence. My

Japan is definitely high trust and has a lot of advantages downstream of that. Though I think lots of that list is more of a "vibrant Japanese city" vibe (go up to some dying onsen town and you'll see plenty of broken shit an

My understanding is they do a _lot_ of maintenance at night. I have to imagine it might not be worth it though. The whole "city that never sleeps" vibe is relatively localized to a couple neighborhoods and having all lines run thr

I think the trickiness with the simple abstraction is that you end up looking at a commit graph and thinking "I would like to make a couple new nodes in this in a very specific shape, but one that many people have likely done in the pa

The open thing is that the person doing the thing is allowed a greater say to strategy IMO.

I appreciate Ryan taking this up, and the updates are interesting. Obviously I'm not paying for the lawyers but it feels like "oh Oracle is trying to add months of delays" feels pretty normal. Only months! If the process just

I understand the value of panic when your invariants really are no longer holding. What I have seen is many cases of "oh a micro-invariant I kind of half believe to be true isn't being held, and so I will panic". Obviously co

It is interesting to consider how `panic!` serves as some documentation of explicitly giving up. Easy to see in a pull request. And having the string packed alongside it is nice. Still miffed, but we'll get there.

I understand this belief abstractly. In the cases I was hitting, there would have been easy recovery mechanisms possible (that would have been wanted because there are many ways for the system to hit the error!), but due to the lowest level

The default is that congress has to confirm _all officers_ in the executive branch, and it's only by delegation through law that you get other behavior. That's my understanding at least. To my knowledge the Chief of Staff does not

There's a good amount of evidence that more turnout would help Republicans in general, even before (at least if you applied the "socio-economic voting preference determinism" logic that one tends to apply). It's good to

If you look at the Manhattan project org chart and take people randomly at the top, they're all at least in their 40s. "There are young people on the project" is a thing but at the end of the day things like the Manhattan Pro

I've had an unpleasant amount of crashes with Rust software because people are way too quick to grab `panic!` as an out. This was most shocking to me in some of the Rust code Mozilla had integrated into Firefox (the CSS styling code).

I think the 3D part is fine, it's more "all of physics" coming into play with a plane. Like bird strikes, engine failures, trying to decide how to handle that. What is the loss function the AI is supposed to apply if an emerg

This is a bit environment dependent is my impression. Like France and Japan both have enough people shitty at English to generate either translations or home grown programming learning material to fight against this barrier. But my impressi

I kind of agree, though at least Django with type stubs gets me 95% of the way there. At the end of the day I end up writing a service layer over everything so I'm not super bugged by most of this. But it's busywork when first sta

I am not part of the DSF or anything but I can say with a good amount of confidence that the answer to this is “No”. Moving to a Pydantic-style model would be a whole different ballgame. Hell of a lot of work, and meanwhile we can’t even re

I feel like the 174 issues might be more painful for smaller teams? Like if almost all your costs are in salaries, and you bring in a new person, suddenly you're booking profits despite not having cash profits? That was my understandin

There's a wonderful book on Mathematical counterexamples in French[0], meant for undergrad/engineering school hopefuls. So many of the continuity counter-examples are throwing Weierstrass at the wall and getting something to stick

Totally! It's a legitimate thing! I just wish that I had more tools for dynamically providing this information to CI so that it could work better but I could also write relatively general tooling with a general purpose language. The id

As somebody who has had stuff from my blog hit #1... if you write interesting technical content and have a straightforward path then it usually gets rewarded. Hell, even the example article would have probably gotten as much (if not more!)

The classic Cantrill bit about not anthropormphizing Larry Ellison applies to a lot of tech CEOs. Thing is Larry Ellison doesn't write blog posts acting like he's a philosopher. Some tech CEOs really position themselves as arbiter

The actual subtle issue here is that sometimes you actually need CI features around caching and the like, so you are forced to engage with the format a bit. You can, of course, chew it down to a bare minimum. But I really wish more CI syste

I think you could build off of threading. I do think here it's good to acknowledge that Python async is fundamentally single-threaded (or rather, "single thread per event loop"), so if you do go a multi-thread version you mig

You really should dive more into the `multiprocess` support option and highlight how this gets around issues with the GIL. This feels like a major value add, and "does this help with CPU-bound work" being "yes" is a big

Perhaps by spending the money they have on things to make their society more future-proof, they will be able to prepare for this future. Pollution is not fungible so there could be an argument against digging up more fossil fuels for this p

It's helpful as a way to publish minimal reproductions of bugs and issues in bug reports (compared to "please clone my repo" which has so many layers of friction involved). I would want distributed projects to do things prope
