They are also extremely competent in turning conquered populations into meat squads. With centuries of experience. Which should terrify anyone sitting on the far side of conquered countries.

And then there’s hyperemparhy. Alice tells about getting a paper cut a year ago, and for a few seconds Bob feels like his guts are being pulled out.

It wasn’t supposed to be the revolution, it was sold like it was.

As a revolution, it relies on infinite applicability of Moore’s law to storage medium. In other words, it relies on infinite growth. It never left the square one.

If the average user

It’s all about being comfortable with not knowing when you need to act. Believing that you can learn everything upfront is pure hubris, and once you hurt yourself enough times, you just drop the pretense.

In other words, life is Bayesian, not frequentist.

It’s not about business optimization, it’s about not having to defer to someone’s knowledge from the position of power.

I can often implement 80% of a new feature without ever running the code.

I really love how they then go and invent their own TDD acronym to justify this. Types are proofs, and they replace a whole category of borderline superficial tests with useful assertions, but claiming that you implement a % of a feature when you haven’t once verified it is… a reason I regularly cuss at code and remain employable. Keep it up.
