El Pacto de la Época. Mi primera novela.
Una disquería. Un ticket mojado por la lluvia. Un flyer que no debería existir. Tres amigos que empiezan a notar lo que nadie más ve.

I’ve never met a developer who learned TDD properly and then wanted to go back. Have you?

basically this
The White underclass is a miracle, and probably why the West has succeeded.
Thomas Frank wrote “What’s the Matter with Kansas” to explore why poor Whites don’t vote for socialist policies that would (narrowly, in the short-term) benefit them. Of course he concluded it was about racism, as he was predetermined to do by his ideology.
But I actually think he highlighted an incredibly important fact: poor White Americans, uniquely among underclasses globally, don’t vote for socialism.
The typical dynamic is rich people trying to keep what they have and poor people trying to take it. But the American lower-class White does not behave this way, because he has a deontological aversion to government interference. The collection of attitudes and beliefs described as “rugged individualism” are often assessed in terms of how they impact the individual, but I think it’s much more important to consider how they impact a nation.
(White) America has the world’s least resentful or grasping underclass. This is a treasure. They should be preserved and rewarded. Many might be net-negative fiscally in a narrow sense, but they are hugely net-positive if you consider their votes. Trump famously said “I love the poorly educated.” He was right to say this. Every nation has an elite. No other nation has such a high quality of virtuous common people.

Tenemos el mejor Ministro de Transportes de la historia de nuestra democracia.
Rigor, datos, empatía y contundencia.
Solo me queda aplaudir a @oscar_puente_

Software is a most malleable substance, a fungible substrate for making imagination manifest in the physical world.
While human innovation knows no bounds, there are limits to what we can and cannot do in computing.
First, there are the laws of physics. We cannot transmit information faster than the speed of light; thermodynamics constrains the design of integrated circuits; computational speed and storage density have energy considerations.
Next, algorithms. While we might have a theoretical framework for some process, turning that into an effective algorithm requires discovery; Fast Fourier Transform, the Viterbi algorithm, and transformers are all such examples.
Architecture is the next barrier. Assembling a system at scale is far more than the operation of its parts.
Organizations are where the human elements of computing begin to dominate. A simple person working alone can do remarkable things, but to build an enduring system of global reach demands a team.
Economics: many things are possible, but not all things are viable, because they cost money, and in the end, those with the money will require a return on their investment, else they will take their money elsewhere.
Finally there are the legal, ethical, and moral elements. Not everything that can be done, should be done.
It is these latter topics that are clear and present problems for @OpenAI, @AnthropicAI, and @grok.
How will this unfold?
Time will tell.

¿Será @Recuenco el @fedesturze que España necesita?
En el hilo turras de hoy, lamento dejar mi tono predilecto técnico y de alguna manera científico/estratégico, porque entra con fuerza por un lateral del escenario, la necesidad de un call to arms.

Parece que ahora solo lo notamos (o nos molesta) quienes sabemos como hay que trabajar para mantener estas cosas.
Pero paso a paso todos descubrirán que todo está muy roto.
Ayer tuve que alquilar un coche.
En el mostrador me pidieron el carné de conducir. Lo tengo en el móvil, en la app oficial miDGT.
Al abrirla me pidió identificarme, pero el servicio estaba caído. La app no funcionaba. Tuve que irme y volver después con el carné de plástico.
Esto está sucediendo todas las semanas en servicios digitales críticos para el país, como la DEHú, Lexnet o Cl@ve.
No sé cómo están las infraestructuras ferroviarias del Estado, pero sí veo cómo están las digitales.
También veo a mediocres y sectarios al frente de los ministerios y organismos públicos.
Yo nunca he votado; el 29N votaré por primera vez.
