"com.lihaoyi Scala: Executable Pseudocode that's Easy, Boring, and Fast"
This was a pretty cool article. The author goes into subjective territory, and I dislike some of his choices, but I very much agree with the general sentiment of prefering code that's simple, easy, and boring. And #Scala can suffer from Java's boilerplate curse, IMO, due to all the tooling that alleviates the use of complex APIs.

The United Kingdom is crisscrossed with public footpaths where the public holds a legal right to traverse.
Many of these paths are centuries old. Many of them are probably even older, dating back thousands of years to the Neolithic or older.
They predate virtually every extant property claim that could be leveraged against them. They have belonged in common to the community that uses them since before there was a British state.
And yet, the British state is in the process of handing over thousands of miles of public footpaths to private owners because these paths—older than the state—have not been registered with the state. In James Scott’s terms, they are not *legible* to the state.
But carefully surveyed, delineated, discrete parcels of private property linked to individual owners—the state’s favorite—are legible to the state. So over they go.
Enclosure never really stopped.

“...follows another judge's order on Monday that prohibits Trump and Nauta, his former White House valet, from viewing discovery evidence in the case without a lawyer present. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart's protective order also prevents the two men from sharing discovery − or potentially exculpatory information provided by the government − with the public or the media.”

If you are a white leftist and you talk “both parties are the same they are both capitalist” you will loose most of your black audience. I think it ought to be obvious that this isn’t because blackfolks love Democrats (in most cases, there is always someone being simple in any group) —no. it’s because the difference between the parties is material and obvious and these are unstable times.
When I hear such talk I wonder if the speaker is working on voter suppression.
