On one hand, you compare Facebook to opioid drugs in terms of addictive potential.

On the other hand, you suggest "regulation" in response.

But, if history and the nature of the state are our guides we must conclude that state intervention is unlikely to produce healthy outcomes, since the state has been unable to craft any "regulation" in the face of a century-long opiate(-iod) epidemic other than a prohibition environment, which has been disastrous for public health and dynastically enriching for drug cartels.

The fact that an iOS UIWebView doesn't allow you to set 3rd party cookies in spite of what the user allows in Safari's settings is a security feature?

The fact that I can't get an app hosted at app.hostname.tld to send a cookie to api.hostname.tld when both the app requesting it allows credentials to be sent in the XHR request and the server is allowing app.hostname.tld to send credentials with the header Access-Control-Allow-Credentials on all platforms is a security feature?

The fact that I can't purge an HTTPOnly cookie in javascript without making a call to an endpoint is a security feature?

The fact that cookies default to JS readable and work across http and HTTPS and you need to make sure to set flags like "Secure" and "HTTPOnly" or you will be open to all kinds of attacks is a security feature?

The fact that cookies are sent on all requests on that domain and preventing browsers from doing that is what brought me down this path in the first place is a security feature?

Yes, there are security features that cookies give you that are extremely useful, however the downsides, bugs, differing implementations, arbitrary defaults, and the need to know the right set of flags and headers to send to make it secure aren't features. Not to mention that you STILL need to do things like CSRF-Protection to actually secure it.

C can be a very difficult beast to tame. Using parallel python interpreters may actually be easier for some than giving up on OOP, garbage collection, platform independence, maintenance of a whole other language stack and bugs you just won't encounter with Python.

Not sure where you get that from someone extolling the empirical scientific method and science in general.

There was a good (well, never been to Ireland so can't confirm closeness to its origins) Irish pub in Raleigh, NC. About 8 (9?) years back they changed chefs and went from serving the Irish food (again, maybe not totally authentic, but Irish) to "Irish" burgers and fries and, really, just generic American chain food. It was very sad, something unique to something totally generic, just like every bar/restaurant around it.
'The chess problem - originally drawn by Sir Roger - has been devised to defeat an artificially intelligent (AI) computer but be solvable for humans.'

I take issue with that statement. All chess engines I'm aware of will correctly play out the draw, so it doesn't defeat them. The engines will _evaluate_ a material advantage for black.

Frankly, this isn't really a surprise.

Incidentally I once won money on Betfair (a P2P betting site) by evaluating a position in a Kasparov vs computer game that looked like a win to computers for the computer, but that I knew Kasparov would prevail in. My fellow gamblers were trusting the computer evaluations :)

There is a small list under "Built with Scala.js" here: https://www.scala-js.org/community/. And that's only for the public facing apps of companies who have explicitly sent a PR to the website to add themselves to the list. Other companies use Scala.js for internal tools.
Have a different view on this,fb is a publicly traded company, its not only man (Zuckerberg) show. Though Mark got supreme power but I'm sure its not him behind every single decision.

I don't think blood types are a neutral mutation. For starters proteins are not free to make and blood cells make up 5% of our total body weight. But also incompatibility between blood types between a mother and child can lead to hemolytic disease[0] (which is mostly a problem with the rhesus factor). Being rhesus positive in a mostly rhesus negative population is a very strong disadvantage (and vice versa) so I'm not sure the initial mutation would proliferate.

Secondly, one would expect a neutral mutation to eventually be present in 50% of the population and homozygous in 25%. Or for three variations, we'd expect 1/9th of people to be O, 1/3rd A, 1/3rd B en 2/9ths AB. We've had blood types for millions of years, and no population has anything close to the distribution, which makes me believe there is some kind of evolutionary pressure.

Right. You could define functions. The function itself is stated in a readable form yet it is concise when later called upon. And just like you desire, this gives the reader a chance to first absorb the idea being expressed by the function (in clear pseudo-code), without making your expressions later overly verbose.

The counterargument might be "but then it's harder to break it down again into components when doing algebra". But that's no different from substituting in identities as needed. Substitute in the function body whenever you need to. As long as you don't need to, don't and you both have concise writing and reduced cognitive overhead. Each time the user sees a function they have previously mentally absorbed and understood they don't need to re-read it in detail to confirm it's still the same idea.

No, it's all horribly fake. The last time I was in an Irish bar like this I got closer to peer at an interesting photograph and realized that what I had thought was damage to the picture was actually a JPEG compression pattern.

IT's like visiting a Panda Express and feeling like you've been to China. As an actual Irish person it's nauseating and I'm ashamed of whatever one of my countrymen decided to make money out of this tacky fakery.

We do have a hospitable tradition in Ireland I'm proud of that, and I don't see anything wrong with starting a business on the back of that. It's the fakery that upsets me; it presents culture as something to be consumed rather than experienced, which is especially irritating given Ireland's former colonial status..
The Distracted Mind: Multitasking and continuous partial attention
I agree: it's surprising what happens when you give people freedom and responsibility. There are some bad apples here and there, but mostly good things happen :)

In a sense, what you suggested happens already with rental cars: when you get one, you have to make sure to write down (and take pictures) of all the defects / bumps, otherwise they might be deemed new and your fault. Something similar could easily happen, even though what I was envisioning was more of a friendly and colloquial environment.
Agreed, but is there a better standard?

I'm also fine with just stuffing MsgPack or Cap'n Proto data inside a libsodium secretbox or usually just crypto_auth to be honest, but corporates love standard. Perhaps libsodium algorithms should be turned into RFCs and then we could have a much simplified token metadata format (expiry, issued date and their ilk) that can be separated from a completely freeform payload. I'd gladly push that format over JOSE.

We can cry "just run an arbitrary format through HMAC-SHA256/libsodium" until the end of the days, but it's the same as asking developers to just send a list of key-value pairs during the XML overengineering heyday. Until JSON came with RFC hammer on their head, developers went with XML by default.

I agree that this keeps wages down and that imposing restrictions would increase wages in the short term. But would it also drive companies to further cutback or outsource their workers? Which would then decrease local demand creating a surplus of labor and reduced wages.

Half the developers on my team are in India and baring minor VOIP issues, it's rarely a problem and often a benefit (e.g. 24hr development) If the US ended up revoking H1B visa and sent a bunch of developers back to their home countries, would that actually create jobs? feel like it would just result in more long distance telecommuting.

In general (not for server apps), two major benefits of Scala Native are:

- Predictable latency if desired (optional GC)
- Very low call overhead for C ABI

As to your point about memory use, Java trades memory for convenience, not performance. GC requires substantially more memory for similar performance. I read an IBM blog (which I can't find at the moment) within the last week which showed a Swift web service running slightly faster than Java, but using only half the memory.

The following comparison is also interesting, with a JSON serialization example in Swift outpacing Spring/Java by a factor of ten... This is also running on Linux instead of macOS.

Given your hypothesis you also need an explanation why there aren't thousands of blood types.
I recently listened to a Radio Lab episode (Playing God) about triage. Researches offered a group of citizens options for how to allocate care. The three methods they were allowed to choose from were:

1. Try to save the most lives or years of life (younger or healthier patients).

2. Pick people who will be most helpful given the medical situation (doctors, first responders who will help save others).

3. Randomly via a lottery.

You can listen to folks struggle with the decision. Not much agreement:

The answer is "yes". It's both.

The argument I made in my essay eight or nine years ago is still true, it's just gotten worse: technology continues to evolve to hack into the human brain in order to commandeer its attention, not assist it.

If you want to look at it in terms of predator-prey relationships, right now we have a predator evolving to eat the most valuable finite resource on the planet, the attention span of the apex lifeforms. So far it looks to be running the tables.

re: illegal immigrants prone to crime

It is tough to find accurate stats, because the cities with the largest numbers of illegals immigrants, are also the ones that don't check immigration status. You can't know it if you don't track it... https://www.city-journal.org/html/illegal-alien-crime-wave-1...

However, even the studies from places that tend to being "pro-immigration" backhandedly admit that of an estimated population of 11 million illegal immigrants in the USA, 820,000 of them have criminal records, about 7.5% of the population of illegals.

The BJS doesn't seem to have newer stats, but there is this: https://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&iid=836 6.6% of USA population will go to jail during their entire lifetime (via following this FAQ: https://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=qa&iid=404 )

So illegals, 7.5% (thus far; some are younger and may commit crimes later in their life) vs. 6.6% for USA population as a whole.

The "immigrant households more likely to use welfare/EBT" can be seen here: http://cis.org/Welfare-Use-Immigrant-Native-Households

There is a detailed explanation of the data sources and methodology; you can scroll down to find the graphs if you just want to see their results.

Concerning your more specific question of "will the wall work" my view would be "we can build part of it to the new high standard, and see what happens" since it is a multi-year project after all.
I did a brief analysis a few years ago after shoving the HN Algolia results into Postgres. IIRC, the optimal time (for highest median score) was on a Sunday afternoon or something like that. I figured that meant that you're not competing as much for views on Sunday afternoon and will get higher-on-average points. Then you may still be around on page 1 or 2 for the Monday morning rush and get a lot more traffic.

> is there any reason not to just slap a name on that "standard" and publish a bunch of libraries?

It was called JWT.

jwt.decode(token, 'secret', algorithms=['HS256'])

That's the Python for JWT; encode is similar. You can try something like what you suggest, but the devil is in "object": want your token to expire after a finite amount of time? You'll need to encode that yourself. Token need to be valid only for certain cases? You'll need to encode that yourself. Essentially, you end up reinventing the part of JWT that is relevant to your use-case, and hopefully, arrive at a decent API.

At least in Python, python-jose's APIs will check not only the signature, but these additional claims (expiration of the token, that the token is applicable to the use we're verifying it for).

(I still think we should be moving towards a common API (and JWT is good enough) and building libraries around that standard. They're going to fall short in some ways at first, and I wish people would help improve them. The suggestion of using base64/libsodium feel dangerously close to "rolling your own", because its too low-level for the purpose at hand.)
I don't blame them at all. A large part of the "better together" campaign was fear-mongering that Spain would block their re-entry to the EU (ostensibly to set a precedent that'd make Catalunya's 'exit' more difficult).

It does feel like they were entirely hoodwinked on that particular point.

This won't cause any "reload" issues, like the ones we were experiencing on mobile browsers not too long ago, will it? Because that would be quite annoying. So Google needs to be careful about how aggressively it intends to implement this. I don't want to see every other "older" tab reload when I click on it. Perhaps reloading the oldest 10% or 20% of the tabs would be fine, but I wouldn't go any further, and they need to do user testing even for those percentages.

Or just use Fernet:

https://github.com/fernet/spec/blob/master/Spec.md

Fernet was written originally for Python but there's a Ruby implementation, a Golang implementation, and a Clojure implementation. I believe that for at least 80% of applications considering JWT, Fernet provides exactly the right amount of functionality, and does so far more safely than JWT.

You dismiss his entire argument simply because he has a different viewpoint. That's too dismissive, in my opinion.
