The Capability-Tractability Tradeoff


↺ The Capability-Tractability Tradeoff


> The more things your system can represent, the less you can say about the things that are represented.


> ie, if you store strings as ASCII then you can’t represent “∀∃🦔”, while if you store strings as Unicode then the string’s length isn’t well-defined. We’ll say that Unicode is more capable while ASCII is more tractable.


> This is one of the most important tradeoffs in CS, up there with space-time tradeoffs. It has a pretty simple reason, too: the more things your system can represent, the fewer things they all have in common, and the more likely any assertion about that set will have a counterexample.

↺ Request Page Redesign - Two More Action Types and Better Comments on Changes


> We are back to working on the request page redesign. This time we have focused on improving comments on lines in the Changes tab, enhancing the requests with multiple actions and supporting requests that intend to delete projects/packages and to change the development package of a package. The request redesign is part of the beta program. We started the redesign of the request workflow in August 2022.
