Totally agreed that we're not looking at the correct metric right now. Increasingly, code quality will be determined by outcomes.
I think you need to self-correct here, because otherwise you'll be ineffective in an information setting, where I expect AI-generated resources will not only be the norm, they will absolutely swamp the environment.
The future is duplication. Code is no longer meant to be read by humans but by machines.
It's so narrow-minded to treat farmed fish as some moral failing.
I think what happens in these types of threads is that the people who like handwritten notes, perhaps even obsessively so, all pour in. But that population of handwriting fans isn't necessarily representative of the population overall.
All the different flavors of yogurt in the grocery store are unnecessary. We only need 2.
What an odd thing to say. Even when there were monolithic governments ruling over certain sphere of influence like the USSR over Eastern Europe, you still had countries break ranks like Yugoslavia and Romania. A single unified government does not mean that individual actors do not know and use their own leverage to advance their own interests.
North Korea is independent for a variety of reasons, and it's not clear that a pro-US North Korea is an all-around win with no downsides for the US. I think both the US and China like having buffer states to avoid flashpoints for war.
They're getting below the rate of return of treasuries. That's abysmal.
