The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

Why is it that the pro-democracy parties are always so hesitant to do the messy work of actual democracy?

While the anti-democracy parties — the ones who say majority rule is a futile idea — seem to have no problem persuading people and making steady change even in the face of chaos, unrest, and internal conflict?

I believe two contradictory things here:

• It’s impossible for anyone to still be confused about who Trump is at this point
• It’s possible for Joe Rogan to be confused about anything and everything

If you’re not deliberately min-maxing the CAP Theorem or doing EDA, there’s no reason to use microservices and every reason not to.

It is not just an implementation detail or a matter of preference. There are fundamental UX implications.

That can be a net positive for users (and developers). But if you’re doing it “just cuz”, you’re gonna have a bad time.

Insert bell curve meme:

Low IQ: I treat my production instance as a place to experiment

Mid IQ: No, production must evolve slowly, with big changes only running in dev

High IQ: I treat my production instance as a place to experiment

Elinor Claire "Lin" Ostrom (née Awan; August 7, 1933 – June 12, 2012) was an American political scientist and political economist[1][2][3] whose work was associated with New Institutional Economicsand the resurgence of political economy.[4]In 2009, she was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for her "analysis of economic governance, especially the commons", which she shared with Oliver E. Williamson; she was the first woman to win the prize.[5]

While the original work on the tragedy of the commons concept suggested that all commons were doomed to failure, they remain important in the modern world. Work by later economists has found many examples of successful commons, and Elinor Ostrom won the Nobel Prize for analysing situations where they operate successfully.[17][14] For example, Ostrom found that grazing commons in the Swiss Alps have been run successfully for many hundreds of years by the farmers there.[18]

Ostrom's law

Ostrom's law is an adage that represents how Elinor Ostrom's works in economicschallenge previous theoretical frameworks and assumptions about property, especially the commons. Ostrom's detailed analyses of functional examples of the commons create an alternative view of the arrangement of resources that are both practically and theoretically possible. This eponymous law is stated succinctly by Lee Anne Fennell as:

A resource arrangement that works in practice can work in theory.[42]

I fucking loved Escape Velocity as a kid, and was so stoked to find out about Endless Sky.

I haven’t put as much time into it as I would like, but man it does a good job of staying true to the source material.
