So what’s the final outcome? A long prison sentence or a few years hanging out on appeal followed by a few years in a low security federal penitentiary and a long career doing speaking engagements and appearances?
Holmes got 9 years, but her actions had severe real world effects on people. Is that the ceiling for SBF?
I disagree with almost all of these conclusions. I appreciate web pages that are sparse and concise. High information density is _not_ generally a good thing.
I like clean websites with lots of space. I don’t mind long scrolling websites, though I don’t particularly like the trend of stupid animations that happen as you scroll down.
I appreciate that “mobile first” has forced web designers to simplify web sites to be concise. Less is more!
There was a period where getting a new computer or phone meant you’d viscerally feel the power in your hands and everything would be tangibly snappier.
Then the SW and Product teams would catch up, add more crap and it’d be time for a new machine.
It seems like that cycle has ended and HW will never catch up again at this point.
Clean code (OOP, DRY, etc) is optimized for maintainability and extensibility, not necessarily performance.
In fact, I think it’s pretty well understood that clean code is a tradeoff wrt performance, at least that’s the way I’ve always understood it.
Clean code works well for something like a web app that’ll need to be maintained by scores of different engineers over many years or decades.
At least that’s the theory. In practice, at least some level of abstraction makes it a bit easier to rip and replace parts of the app without a total rewrite.
Whether you buy it, borrow it or build it; you’re locked in to the chosen solution.
Homegrown solutions are often harder to escape from than commercial or FOSS solutions.
It’s sometimes easier to escape from one commercial solution to another as companies will provide migration tools and docs as part of their competitive strategy.
You can mitigate solution lock-in through good architecture, but you can never eliminate the cost of change.
I guess maybe a cop would still need a warrant to use the data, but what about civil court cases?
