  • In the remedy video linked in the article, she said that she only wanted to keep the show going. I can feel that she indeed values the show and the connection it made between people. However, it’s also sad to see how this kind of blissful ignorance turns the creative drive into something that perpetuates inequality and harms the people connected by the show. She hurts people in a way she doesn’t understand. Maybe she’ll learn something this time.




  • Thank you for raising the question. I think it’s an important one to think about. I constantly hear about good things about the REPL experience of LISP family languages. You can set up a code fragment (the test in your example) to run constantly in the background as you edit. Then you can jump to the REPL anytime and interact with the state.

    I myself am more on the ML-family side of FP, where you’d encode the expected behavior with an expressive type system and work with the type checker (the smart compiler) to implement that behavior.

    One important thing to note is that the type checking process is also a fast feedback loop. The difference is that it’s often on the abstract level and you’re more concerned about the expected behavior instead of the actual behavior.

    It’s harder to write, but the advantage is that you’ll have more confidence once it type checks.

    Of course, the two styles are not mutual exclusive, just that the tooling ecosystem will often reflect the culture of that language family. And it’s easier to add a simple watch make task, but harder to go the other way around.



  • The crux of the problem lies in the anchoring bias, which leads us to heavily rely on the first piece of information offered (the anchor) when making decisions. […] Recognizing and accounting for the status quo and anchoring biases can enable us to create a workplace that not only attracts but also retains its employees in the new age of flexibility. After all, success in the world of business is as much about understanding people as it is about numbers and strategy.

    Somewhat reductionist and more like a “understand your enemies” from the reactive point of view.

    This piece’s main purpose is to push the author’s consultancy service on “helping tech and finance industry executives drive collaboration, innovation, and retention in hybrid work”.

    So although the phenomenon might be valid, it will be impossible for them to articulate the real reason behind the change: people are becoming aware that “returning to the office” is more about controlling the work force through power, rather than any bullshit business benefits.




  • Most likely a request now goes to the “new infrastructure”, where only new messages are replicated. Old data is still stored on the old infrastructure, which some old frontends are still using. After the migration is over, the old chat might no longer be accessible.

    So there’s hope for remedy to their tech incompetence, which is also their tech incompetence…

    It appears some users may be able to download all their messages, including ones prior to 2023, by making a data request at https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request(opens in a new tab) while logged into their Reddit account. […]

    In addition, using the old version of Reddit which is still accessible at https://old.reddit.com(opens in a new tab), users may still be able to access inbox messages prior to 2023.

    However, some Redditors have reported that even the data request option did not retrieve their old chats or some messages were missing.
