Superfluous Twenty-Fifth Amendmend Replaced Constitution's Article II Clause VI
Claim is that Clause VI is not clear enough on the succession of Presidency in cases of injury, resignation, or other forms of incapacitation of a sitting President - when in reality Clause VI instructs on the subject and is specific enough to differentiate among these cases.

Clause VI is clear in mentioning that in all of these cases, the incapacitation/suspension/resignation of the President's Office also devolves to Office of the Vice President, thus rendering currently adopted amendment unconstitutional.

It also prudently allows the Congress to make the selection of an "acting" President from a pool of people loosely referred to as "Officer", until return of sitting President to health or an election.

Not only that, they haven’t kept up in camera tech, but still charge a premium price. Built-in mechanical stabilization, additional sensors such as gps and altimeter, color capture could have justified a premium price. Expansion into the drone market came as too little too late, and the recall hurt that effort immensely. Seems like there are video applicstions outside the ‘action cam’ domain - security, monitoring, etc that players such as nest have gotten into, granted that’s outside their X-treme DNA.

I don't think that's safe either. If I use a char[] instead of the more obvious String for whatever technical reason, a comment like "You can use a String." would sound incredibly patronizing. The trouble is that the reviewer now has to guess what happened - did I intentionally choose a more convoluted solution, or was I honestly not aware of the straightforward way to do it? I've had reviewers who erred on the side of underestimating my knowledge and found it super awkward.

What helps as a reviewee is to always add a code comment explaining why you are not using the obvious tool for the job; both the reviewer and the next developer will thank you.

Glad to hear it! Good languages as you agree have the potential to keep dev and material cost down, so there's no trade-off. But people seem to hate learning...anything, and was worried the market had already gone to too powerful devices out of laziness. Glad to hear the battle is not yet lost!
I jumped ahead there and left a step of my reasoning out. The article describes a lack of backstock, due to OTS, causing out-of-stocks when stores have to miss a delivery or two. But if you assume that the vast majority of these issues were in fact caused by unpredictable events, then the only possible solution would be to keep large amounts of extra stock at all times, which is worse for the customer and the company in the end. Obviously the goal is for neither extreme to occur.

The article is wrong about the regularity of the issue, the "weird control systems" (not sure what connection you're seeing with employee protection laws), and the causes.

But you misunderstand me if you think I'm burying my head in the sand. I don't deny that Whole Foods has issues with its ordering processes. In fact, I think the company has been going in the wrong direction there for a long time. The article is just so, so off-base - originally I didn't intend to argue with it, but now I've become this guy: https://xkcd.com/386/

It will be interesting to see if Amazon can improve the situation through automation. Generally I've seen stores that use automated ordering systems be far worse with their out-of-stocks (Kroger, for instance).
Personally, I think that moral responsibility (or ethical, if you prefer) is a sort of convenient fiction we use to function as a society.

> You're born with particular DNA programming, which determines how you perceive and process outside stimuli, thus shaping your progress as a person, as a human psycho-physiological entity. Nature is what determines your reaction to nurture, and you don't have any control over either. They both affect you, certainly, but not in a way that you can manipulate independently of who you already are... it gets circular.

> And yet we think that we have the power to decide things without reference to our formative contexts. Regardless of my philosophical position, my brain is convinced that it is reasonable. Accordingly, society is built on the idea of responsibility for one's actions. I'm not saying that it shouldn't be! As far as I can tell there's no alternative. But how interesting, that the entire system of civilization is constructed around a logical fallacy.

When I was a kid, I had a Windows 95-era floppy with Battlezone, Centipede, Asteroids, Missile Command and Tempest. Wish I still had it; one of the best parts was the .chm (or .hlp? I forget what was the older one) help file has a big section on the development of each game.
I had applied and interviewed with them right about when this was breaking, and it's on my list of "dodged a bullet". The manager even mentioned that there was the very real possibility that the budget requisition for why I was there might be pulled soon... and it's clear how that turned out.

That BART figure ignores very generous benefits[0]. I'd like to see your source for calling that the "median" wage (as opposed to the starting wage).

This is super exciting, and it smacks a little bit of the C++11 variadic template based HW init scheme explored in the stm32plus library, eg:

https://github.com/andysworkshop/stm32plus/blob/master/examp...

Though obviously the Rust approach provides a lot more guarantees, especially at runtime.

The one thing that interests me is how flexible this approach would be at dealing with cases where you have to hack around a hardware bug. For example, I had a board on it with an I2C expander whose default I2C address was not one the STM32 was able to address, but could be changed at runtime with an I2C command. So this was dealt with in firmware by initializing those pins initially as GPIO and bit-banging in the message to change the address, then changing them over to the regular I2C peripheral and taking it from there.

How possible would something like that be with this much more tightly constrained Rust IO model?
They have a lesson for everything.
We made a mistake in the article there. (There aren't any security issues with pixel read-back here) I'll ping Surma on Monday to get it fixed.

The primary reason we did this is to ensure there wasn't a performance cliff if you did read-back pixels. With the current API surface you can record all of the canvas commands, and play them back when you need to raster. Additionally it doesn't leak how many pixels we are actually rastering to.

(hope this helps).

> Get people out of computer apps and onto phone or web apps.

That's a funny line to take in a comment thread about the rising threat of compromised mobile devices. From the article: "Mobile is the future of spying, because phones are full of so much data about a person’s day-to-day life." Also "it doesn’t require a sophisticated or expensive exploit.. Instead, all Dark Caracal needed was application permissions that users themselves granted when they downloaded the apps."

So actually, by pushing people to mobile, you're pushing them exactly where bad actors want them to go.

Yes, it's fairly difficult to pwn an iPhone, but we know that state actors can actually do it when they really want to (we know from Snowden that they stockpile exploits), and there is nothing you can do to actually increase your defenses - you cannot install firewalls, antiviruses or any other threat-detection software. Android (as demonstrated here) is trivial to compromise. On top of that, mobile apps and OSes simply cannot be airgapped. They rely on the cloud, which is another humongous surface attack.

A well-configured opensource-running personal computer where the user does not have the root password is as secure as an iPhone, if not more.

Whole Foods whittled down the list of items that are "never" out-of-stock. Now that tier of redundancy is reserved for a select group of core items explicitly called "never-outs." In doing so, HQ implicitly reclassified the remainder of the inventory as "sometimes-outs."

Having a lot of "sometimes-out" items predictably will lead to "sometimes-all-out-at-the-same-time" categories and "some-stores-are-always-out" items. The outages are clumping, in terms of categories, timing, and location. Which is a bad and apparently unanticipated mode of failure for the procurement system.
A Software Development Workflow
If a neural network (or any other AI algorithm) includes race as one of its input variables, and through its training set optimization utilizes that trait in order to deduce who may be guilty of a crime, and the cumulative error is indeed significantly improved by allowing that trait as an input -- then we have the need to rationally define exactly why this is bad, and what exactly the AI is missing which is needed to address that problem.

I'd imagine the answer is something along the lines of the AI needing to incur a strong penalty when it falsely accuses or falsely casts suspicion, or misses a crime it would've found without that trait distracting it, etc. But the point IMO is that the only way to stop this problem is to understand it without being afraid of talking about it. You talk of the AI as being stupid for this problem -- but the stupidity lies in the axioms we're feeding it, and that only gets fixed by finding out where WE are going wrong in a rigorous and scientific way.
This is an anti-sexism measure.
> The concept of “never out” products doesn’t make any sense to me. That should describe everything!

Definitely not; plenty of items are seasonal and therefore only available at certain times. One of the reasons I prefer WF to e.g. Safeway is that they stock certain vegetables, fruits, and seafood without requiring that they be available year round. WF has persimmons in the fall; Safeway never does.
Yeah the current way of developing these things is slow AF so I'm not buying it. I've done Haskell->Verilog, its an amazing development speed up, and people give the same "but that's not the hard part" complaints.

The fact is, no one's development process is that parallel, so critical-path-style arguments don't work. Turning even just a few easy parts free does reduce dev costs, and in these case we're clean-sweeping like all the low hanging fruit.
After recent threads here about oscilloscope music, I was wondering if this game style was essentially an XY view type of concept.

Also, I know that the ROM emulators had issues getting games to work on nonCRT screens as the games had to do some interesting programming "tricks" to deal with the quirks of NTSC. I wonder if the vector game emulation teams had any additional issues to deal with to get the game to work on nonCRT displays?

I did everything "right." I had a lot of side projects, I collaborated on big projects online with others, I knew a lot of languages, I got a 4 year CS degree and I had an internship. I applied to hundreds of places and heard back from maybe 3 places after months of trying. The best I could get before my current offer was one for 35k from a place that wasted two days of my time going half a state away to interview with them, and a return offer at the internship for $15/hr. I was "lucky" enough to eventually land this current job where I ended up being on more of a "support" team than being put on any real development, which is apparently all generally done offshore, so it's going to be more difficult down the road due to that, I'm sure. I don't recommend getting into tech to people anymore. The bubble is over.

It depends on the industry. When all the workers need to be working at the same time, the lunch break thing makes sense. For other industries (like programming), it doesn't matter if your coworkers are on break, you can keep working. I'm actually in this position, because I work remotely and only overlap a couple of hours with some team members.

For health care, there exists individual plans. So, the employer can choose to offer that to non-members if they think it's worth it. The employer could also have a standard non-union benefit package if the company had enough non-union employees. Or, it could choose not to offer health insurance (or any other benefit it offered to the union).

I don't agree that seeing your union colleagues get a benefit means that an individual negotiator be more likely to get a benefit. This knowledge does reveal that the employer is willing to give that benefit to the union. But, the union has the weight of it's members to extract that benefit. The non-member has only their individual contribution. So it depends on the individual's value to the business versus the union members' value.

I suspect that there would still be a strong incentive to bargain collectively in jobs where an employee is easily replaced. These workers would see that they can get better compensation by banding together than going it alone.

Meanwhile, it would basically not be feasible to unionize in areas where there is a significant difference in the productivity of individual employees. Most programming falls into this category in my opinion.

More broadly, I think you've kinda missed my position a bit. I'm thinking about freedom of association as a negative right (as in "government can't force you to {x}"). So, if that right was interpreted the way I would like it to be, it doesn't really matter what the actual outcome is. It shouldn't be legal to force a non-member to associate with a union (unless the employer chooses to contract exclusively with that union).

Obviously, you're arguing that my interpretation is not desirable b/c it would cause a free-rider problem (which I don't think is as strong of a possibility as you do).
Hybrid vigor is much overstated. It only has value in cases of extreme inbreeding, such as where first cousin marriage is common or the society is very small.

There are a few extra performance tricks we can do behind the scenes here.

- Chrome's implementation won't actually perform a raster at this stage, instead we'll raster later on a background thread. toDataUrl, etc will raster.

- We'll only invoke the paint method for things which we actually need to paint. E.g. if you have a long list, we won't invoke the method for things that are outside the paint window (things off-screen).

- We'll have the ability to add a bunch of caching later on. From memory the servo folks in their experimental implementation actually speculatively generated a bunch of images ahead of time.

- We are actively investigating moving this to a background thread. So even if your main thread is janked, an animation which triggers a paint worklet, will still run at 60fps.
