Unions are implemented differently in the US and elsewhere. IMHO the case law around unions in the US sets up a perverse incentive structure that results in an antagonistic relationship between capital and labor, ex: Supreme Court ruling requires that unions protect all of their members from firing, even the obviously terrible ones, this has resulted in huge inefficiencies for workers AND capital alike. Other countries like Germany have better union implementations, such that the union usually has a seat on the board of directors and is able to better set company policy in a non antagonistic non zero sum way.
Any scenario where the key is not ephemeral and you're handling client's input (can expect exploitation). If you have a good enough separation/sandboxing, any exploit wouldn't be able to steal the encryption key, or other private data, even if the exploit worked.

For handling encrypted secrets, this is popular as a HSM idea. You authenticate to a black box which does the crypto for you, but the key can't be extracted. Sometimes HSMs even have a physical tampering / self destruction protection.
Assuming you believe the OP. Things like "I didn't get paid so I am selling 0 days", or "I had to leave Europe to be safe because I fought with a guy", don't help me taking it seriously. Might be true. Might not be true. The only certainty is that this guy is a nutter.
Wage slavery is a real thing in America today. I'm in almost the 95th percentile of income in the US today (although I wasn't always so lucky), and, if I were to somehow lose my job tomorrow, my first priority would be to find a new one ASAP, because I wouldn't be able to pay rent after less than 6 months of unemployment. Most people are not so fortunate. Even the most well-off Americans only have about $164K saved in their retirement accounts [0]. Real wages have been flat for decades [1]. Half of Americans don't have $500 in emergency savings [2].

My employer has nearly 100 employees; I have one employer. The job "market" is designed to create information asymmetry between me and my employer that ensures I'm not getting the best deal I can when negotiating for a job. I'm expected to give a reasonable amount of notice before leaving my job, but no such expectation generally exists on the other side of the table. I can be fired for almost any reason, or no reason. When I was hired, I had to sign an agreement signing away any right I had to ever sue my employer in court for any reason.

Now, even granted that some of these things are not necessarily going to be relevant to my particular situation (e.g. I don't really foresee any need to sue my employer, and I don't think they're going to fire me for no reason at all), what side of the table does the huge majority of the power lie on?

Trigonometry† is still super important for all of physics and a great deal of higher mathematics.

The problem with it is that before the past 150–200 years, people didn’t have an adequate collectionn of mathematical concepts / tools / number-like objects to work with, so the description is done in an extraordinarily unnatural and cumbersome form.

Additionally, the modern lessons are almost entirely anachronistic: the reason that people cared about trigonometric identities was that they did all calculation by hand or using pre-computed lookup tables. In that context, judicious application of some identities could save hundreds of hours of labor by a semi-skilled human computer, by reducing the number of arithmetic calculations and/or table lookups. In an age of computers this is not really a consideration, and modern students don’t have any appreciation for the purpose or context of the tools of classical trigonometry.

The classical trigonometry course should have been ripped out and fixed 50 years ago if not before (replaced by courses in vectors, complex arithmetic, and the complex exponential and logarithm). Such deeply entrenched school curricula are very difficult to modify though.

†: Note, by trigonometry what we really mean is «the relations between uniform circular motion and/or lengths of circular arcs and a square grid coordinate system»; trigonometry is something of a misnomer as there is only partial overlap between metrical 3-gon (a.k.a. “triangle”) geometry and the study of uniform circular motion, and most of the interesting parts of metrical 3-gon geometry are not covered in a trigonometry course.

I really dislike that flat-design has destroyed the use of gradients, I think buttons are much nicer when they look 3d.

But flat design did spread the importance of contrast, simplicity and subtlety, not to mention using animations to convey meaning, which do wonders to make apps and the web look much better.

I think as we move forward elements of flat design and traditional UI design will merge into a new set of popular guidelines - hopefully they'll contain 3d looking buttons :)

Yes, I did. But they're an even smaller group.
> If government provides your health care it's only natural if it directs you to a healthier life to save people's money.

Yes. And conversely, if you provide MY healthcare (by your taxes) I'm very much concerned about YOUR ability to work and pay taxes, which is effectively the same thing.

This is exactly why we have seatbelt laws. Your seatbelt just makes you less of a dead person so you can pay for your healthcare (and mine). And when/if you have an accident it makes you a person with two broken wrists that costs my taxes less than if you were a person with critical injuries - so I'd rather pay for your damages if you wear a seatbelt.

See this is also an important point: a high-tax society also requires a sense that tax money is well spent. This means that it can't feel like the money is spent "on someone else", you can't have a feeling among the population that tax money is often wasted, or that it's spent on wars (for example). If money was spent on healthcare for people who didn't want to use seatbelts - I'd be less willing to pay taxes. So my high taxes require these kinds of laws. Still, people are free to eat pizza and beer 24/7 and I still pay for their healthcare - because the alternative would be a too big government involvement in peoples lives. All they can do is tax beer higher, not much more.

Now, of course all of these limitations of your freedoms has to be weighed against the value they provide. The cost of people driving around without seatbelts is huge to socitey. The cost for an individual to wear as seatbelt is tiny. So it's a no brainer even in the most liberal societies.
Unions are useful for more than just better pay. If that's a concern, charter some new type of union-like organization that doesn't touch salary/wages.

One of the most important reasons for unions is to fight back against abusive employment practices that are unrelated to employee compensation. While software development doesn't have anywhere close to the problems mining or factory jobs, we it might be a good idea to address the culture of working long hours with chronic sleep problems. A union could also fight unfair hiring practices like age discrimination or the scandal from a couple years about hiring collusion to between several Silicon Valley companies.

I think you got my point, though? The rules of QM are not a busy beaver function. They are simple and they can be learned because the human mind is flexible.

Yes, manipulating the algebra can be very complicated indeed, but that is because we are analyzing how the simple rules carry out and looking for an exact answer. It's like playing checkers vs. solving checkers; or learning the rules of Conway's Life vs. actually running a simulation. We can understand the rules and gain meaningful intuitions about both. If we want an exact answer it gets complicated.
Despite some of the bad commentary from my point of views as well, I don't believe he is advocating for less features. He is saying networking software is a flooded basement: you will find hardware tools likr hammers and screw drivers, but they are dirty.

> To me, being wealthy means being able to live a comfortable life without worrying about your next paycheck

Americans generally use middle-class to refer to this state. Things are good, you have a paycheck or two of slack, you can make a healthy retirement contribution and save a little each month, own (via debt) a decent house and car, go out to eat a few times a month, not pinch pennies at the grocery store, etc. Major changes like moving, getting a new car, putting a kid through college, etc. require some planning, maybe some financing, but are doable.

Real wealth would be owning a grand house and luxury car, not needing to work to sustain the same lifestyle (before retirement age; after retirement age this is baseline for not being poor), ability to self-fund a capital intensive business, casually owning multiple residences, frequent international travel, etc. Luxury cars are toys and putting a kid through college is painless. That kind of stuff.

Right. Code generation has typically been associated with DSLs.

Here's one way it could be done simply. Let's say you wanted to automate the process of memory allocation and deallocation. You would need a way to describe to the code generator the mepory requirments of your structure. For that you would need a description outside of C. But that description could be embedded into the comments of your code and your code generator be designed to parse those comments to determine what needed to be done.

Knuth also came up with the idea of Literate Programming in which the description of a program is embedded as Latex in the code. This could work in a similar way. So, while you would use a DSL, the description would be inline with your code so the authoring process would be integrated and not 2-stream.
> we are talking about being eligible to receive free money from whichever local area agrees to issue it to you.

This looks pretty similar to the English Poor Laws, which in the end proved to be quite despotic. It started like this, at the end of the 15h century:

> In 1495, Parliament passed the Vagabonds and Beggars Act ordering that "vagabonds, idle and suspected persons shall be set in the stocks for three days and three nights and have none other sustenance but bread and water and then shall be put out of Town. Every beggar suitable to work shall resort to the Hundred where he last dwelled, is best known, or was born and there remain upon the pain aforesaid." (taken from the wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Poor_Laws)

but it turned out that that made people dependent on their "original" parishes and that the other parishes/towns would not want any of them on their streets, thus impeding the free movement of people across England. There were other major ills caused by this law (this subject also has its own wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opposition_to_the_English_Poor...), I for myself first learned of its bad effects (and of the bad effects that similar laws can cause) by reading some Bentham.

> Drupal being based on Symfony now gets it a lot of that same kind of thing; so, it is recently decent, by my estimation. Others may disagree, of course.

Like me. As far as I can see, while Symfony might be a decent framework but the integration between Drupal and Symfony is atrocious because it's an incredibly bad fit as the two systems had fundamentally different philosophies, mostly in the explicit vs implicit department. Compare a Drupal hook implementation to a Symfony event subscriber and you will see.

And I must be missing something what Symfony Console apps bring to the table compared to the absolutely trivial drush implementations... But each to their own, I guess.

I agree that there's far more to life satisfaction than money. But that's a different conversation. The point here is that people support policies that favor the top 1% because they foolishly believe that they're part of that top 1%. Or because they believe that they will be. Or because they believe that said 1% drives the economy.

Interesting question. I don't completely agree. I've learnt that lying is a statement based on the assumption of absolutes, meaning that you are certain of one outcome but are presenting another. This might be presumptuous as a start.

To be fully truthful, I've found it helpful to consider myself capable of fault and not fully informed to make absolute assertions, but rather I opt for statements of confidence with narrowed scope. Therefore, there is no truth or lie but only your perception, which is limited. (flashback to Stats 101, confidence intervals)

It also depends on the kind of person you are. I think the more comfortable you are in your own skin, the less likely you are to be affected by the judgements of others. If I ask a good friend something, I don't want them to lie, even if I don't like the answer. Extending this, I will do for them what I expect in return.

I know this all sounds very vague and kind of like baloney, but I've met a person who has always been a straight shooter with me, and I've since tried to emulate it. The above is what I've learnt from him.
V8 apparently stores all-ASCII strings as ASCII, so stuff like HTML tag names or base64 blobs doesn’t double in size.

Python does this too.

In Python 2, and in Python 3 until 3.3, a compile-time flag determined the internal Unicode storage of the Python interpreter; a "narrow" build of the interpreter used 2-byte Unicode storage with surrogate pairs, while a "wide" build used 4-byte Unicode storage.

As of Python 3.3, the internal storage of Unicode is dynamic. Python 3 source code is always parsed as UTF-8, but then as string objects are created by the interpreter their memory representation is chosen on a per-string basis, to be able to accommodate the widest code point present in the string. So Python will choose either a one-byte, two-byte, or four-byte encoding to store the string in memory, depending on what code points are present in it.

This is very nice because it means iteration over a Python string is always iteration over its code points, the length of a string is always the number of code points in it, and indexing always yields the code point at index, since the internal storage of the string is fixed width and never has to include surrogates (in pre-3.3 Python, "narrow" builds would actually yield up things for which ord() gave a value in the surrogate range, and code points requiring surrogates added 2 to the length of a string rather than 1).

It sort of depends on the definition of poverty. Poverty is currently often defined as percentage of the median income and that would make it "exist" unless all income would be close to the median. It's possible to conceive a society that distributes wealth in such a manner, but I'd currently regard that as implausible.
