If done in the short term (years), wouldn't this just cause inflation and landlords will happily follow that inflation with higher rents... As long as a good is scarce and controlled by the market there is no reason for the situation t

Forgive my ignorance here, but isn't it simply better for the economy to have low rather than high unemployment? And since a recession is basically "the economy is doing bad" doesn't that mean that the unemployment argum

Indeed it lies in both sides simultaneously, as all your examples have a free and oppressive side to them as well. It seems the freedom lies with the individual and his control over his own computer, and the oppression lies with larger plat

"safe gun owners who just enjoy them" Exactly, this is most important point that people forget. It's all about freedom. Personally I'm a safe cruise-missile owner who just enjoys it. Who are you to tell me what to do. If

You're entirely misunderstanding me and the quote, as they both agree and align with what you're saying completely. Again, the quote is not about avoiding or ignoring valid logical discourse, criticism, hypotheses, or any other lo

By not taking the quote literally, but trying to understand it in its context. The quote is a judgement about what can be logically achieved through discourse, and what cannot (and should not). He draws this boundary to separate the things

This is a common fallacy. Call it moving goalposts, no true Scottsman, the AI effect, whatever. The behavior is as follows: an argument over whether an ill-defined attribute is possessed by a computer is defended or attacked with useless se

There's a lot more than big O, like data layout, simd, parallelism, cache efficiency, caching, allocation, data architecture, IO efficiency etc etc. And these are just the ones I know about, I bet there's many more. For improving

Aha, I did not intend to be contemptuous to you personally, sorry about that. And you do not need to justify anything to me, my rant is more of the untargeted frustration kind. I understand the desire to work in a straightforward manner tha

What is sad, is companies that release shoddy hybrid apps, developed by lowest-bid offshore shops (who often do a better job than onshore ones), then refuse to continue supporting their crapplets. Actually, that's not the sad part. T

Yeah that makes sense as a use case, I agree. I would still argue that it doesn't speak in favor of software development in general that we need this though, but I see that in your situation it would be useful. But to further my point:

I think the confusion here is that traditionally a feature flag is part of the source code, or potentially deployment configuration. Not something that should be modified during runtime of production code, but only during deployments/r

I was equally confused, and found: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/architecture/cloud-n... It says: Feature flags are built upon conditional logic that control visibility of functionality for users a

Exactly! we should! By giving everyone a lawyer immediately we focus on establishing truth. Only reason we don't is that its obviously too expensive and impractical. This is why we initially try without, and involve a lawyer when &quot

Wow this is some harsh criticism. I'd be curious to know why he deserves to be attacked for his technical know-how. Also I am curious to know why you think committing a crime out of conviction is inherently immoral. If we equate laws w

I always think these comments are super interesting because they rarely list what they are talking about, instead railing against opaque system-words like "ordained" or "established", and countering with innocent or posi

Right, those are good points. But the article is from a blog that claims the following: "Futures of Work is a blog offering radical and critical thinking on ongoing and emerging issues associated with work and employment." It feel

I think we're familiar with different systems. The worst systems I know require you to hold items in front of the scanner at the end of the store, more or less doing the work of the cashier yourself (though this still has obvious time-

I understand your position if this is the case for you, perhaps you are suffering to a worse version of the self checkout systems I am familiar with. For instance, for me to understand your problem I would have to know what you mean with &q

The article makes a good argument throughout, that automated work is often sold as complete replacement, but frequently introduces more work around the automation. Also that their is a real psychological cost to marrying (social) life and t

For sure mimalloc is interesting! At work we've been able to use mimalloc to great effect, using it as a drop-in replacement for the standard msvc allocator showed 3x runtime (!) improvements on multi-minute workloads. In terms of memo

These were socialists, or anarchists, not communists. grouping them together is an often made mistake. EDIT actually there were also communists, turns out it was a mixed bag! I stand corrected.
