Agreed, it is a flaw of the article, but I think their point is still correct (that we should all stand for something beyond what is easiest for us and not use incentives as a free pass for everything).

It is true that privileged people can sacrifice more to do the right thing simply because they have much more than they need to survive. But most people of all levels of privilege can do better, and it's not a competition where you are only a success if you do the most good. Good is good even in small quantities regardless of if you ever have a statue made after you.

One thing I hate about Musk saying things like "They have fewer accidents than people" is that it is only able to be engaged in the easiest of scenarios. So per mile, self driving on the easiest roads barely has less accidents than a human in adverse conditions?

That doesn't seem to actually be better than people yet.

Cool, I had heard of defunctionalizing CPS before but never dared to try it.

I tried to follow along defunctionalizing map, but it is a bit different since it has a return value, whereas in the video it is a void. What I ended up with was equivalent to building a list and then reversing it. So it did infact work (all functions were tail callable). This was mentioned in the article as inferior to the author's final product though. So I think it is a bit different to a special case of CPS defunctionalization optimization.

Although there may have been other ways to deal with the return value in continuations...

This kind of feels like using continuations, here is a Haskell demo of the concept:

    myMap = myMapHelper id
    
    myMapHelper cont f [] = cont []
    myMapHelper cont f (x:xs) = myMapHelper (cont . (f x :)) f xs

Of course this actually makes things slower in Haskell, either due to the growing continuation or existing optimizations in Haskell

According to the article, PHP can handle other encodings by just treating sequences of strings as byte sequences and not caring what the encoding is. There example:

$string = "漢字";

But if you are using say UTF-8 and one of those Chinese characters has one of its bytes have a value of 34 (the ascii value of "), then wouldn't the string terminate prematurely?

Edit: to answer my own question, quote from wikipedia: ASCII bytes do not occur when encoding non-ASCII code points into UTF-8

I couldn't find any reference to the lawsuit last year, could you provide some more information / link about it?

Meat industry cruelty does no make this cruelty ok, nor does this cruelty make the meat industry cruelty ok.

Does anyone know the name for this type of fallacy? Not False Dichotomy but similar?

I was under the impression it was already being flagged and ignored. Could you explain how that would help?

BTW I cannot view that link... "This site can’t be reached" :)

There's an equally annoying problem in software engineering at large corporations (aka Google), where hundreds of services you need to know about are named with some cute name that gives you no idea what the thing actually is.
