Chrome spent considerable effort making sure things "look the same" across many OS's and hardware.

The argument I've heard, is that With lighter weight browsers you begin to lose that consistency across platforms, so chrome is currently the best solution.

What if you were able to do some kind of pruning with chrome to remove as much dead code from an Electron project. A hello-world in Electron would surely allow compression opportunities, rather than a full chrome instance, right?
> Shouldn’t this require an amendment to the constitution, to eliminate the constitution’s clause forbidding the taxing interstate commerce?

No such clause exists; there is a clause in Art. I, Sec. 9 prohibiting state import and export duties, but a tax on sales applied equally to sales into the state regardless of whether the origin is in or out of state is not an import duty, and therefore not prohibited.
No, I just don't trust that the corporate entities and governments that own the hardware storing vast amounts of non-public data to last for the next 1000 years, and that when they cease to exist, much of this information will be lost. I was being a bit hyperbolic with my quip about the ceremonial item. Barring a total collapse, you are probably correct that they would understand that it is a storage device. I guess it just depends on how likely you think it is there would be a new dark age within the next 1000 years...

That's true in a statistical sense. Or it's possible that the human-observers are less accurate about autism than this brain scan.

It's unclear if those who have the odd brain structure but aren't diagnosed are entirely asymptomatic.

Also they may be non-autistic in spite of this brain pattern, but nonetheless have a genetic predisposition to pass it on. Big step.
It is my understanding that doing this is next to impossible.

You just use tax software to do it. Then you can just classify each item. Most small businesses only sell a few thousand products and others sell less than a hundred. How does it take to classify all of those? A few hours tops. After that the software does the rest....condoms going to 32932 zip...taxable...raw rice going to 92322 zip...exempt. very easy for a computer to do. The software provider would do all the research.

I don't see why it is reasonable to treat CS students the same.

There probably aren't a lot of people getting cheated, paying a lot in and getting nothing out, because so many people drive, yes. This is a valid point (although the distribution of infrastructure spending may not match the driving). However, the other trouble with automobile subsidies is they are invisible. An individual can't see the true marginal cost of their use, either direct (road wear) or indirect (sprawl, parking lot oceans).

Behavior would change dramatically if, e.g., you had a GPS tracker logging miles and you paid a monthly road use bill, and parking spots were all metered at their true cost.

> it's dumb to use someone's academic achievements alone

I'm sure they don't - the author just seems a little touchy because he doesn't have a degree. I understand - I have a CS degree with a good GPA, but the school isn't all that impressive. I know it's cost me jobs (because they've told me). However, it's a pipe dream to think that there will ever come a time when degrees are irrelevant - unless human civilization changes a _lot_, academic credentials are going to get more important for programming work, not less, just as they are for every other field. As long as programming pays well and is the sort of work you can do sitting down in an air conditioned office while drinking coffee, it's going to attract a lot of applicants, and screeners are going to have to screen them. Love it or hate it, the easiest things a screener can look at that yield the best signal-to-noise ratio are academic pedigree and reputation of past employers. Since false positives are riskier than false negatives, they're being logical and reasonable.
I haven't tried it though I find it intellectually appealing. Actually implementing it requires some config (do you want to include all industries, or exclude some like finance as greenblatt suggests? What range of market caps will you consider? US only or emerging markets? Do you short companies on the bottom of the list or do long only?)

I just haven't spent the time thinking through those things...

> Then there is no boxing/unboxing of simple types or literals because they are one-and-the-same, and no there’s no confusion about how to interact with any truly generic type of value.

It's simply performance/space. It's why value types still exist in Java, C#, etc.

> A type hierarchy, patterned similar to Ruby’s as an example, makes the most sense:

The type hierarchy doesn't matter. That's what C# does. It has one unified type system where even int, double, etc all ultimately derived from Object and it still have value types. It's a language/compiler design issue.

> Then there is no boxing/unboxing of simple types or literals because they are one-and-the-same, and no there’s no confusion about how to interact with any truly generic type of value.

In ruby there is no unboxing, but you could argue that all simple types are "lightly boxed" because they are objects by default.

(Shrug) It's acceptable to me and to a bunch of other people, so that by definition makes it "socially acceptable." I reserve the right not to employ Nazi asshats, or to work for them. That's the upside to at-will employment... and the downside of being a Nazi asshat.

In most states, political beliefs do not, and should not, qualify employees for membership in protected classes.

The important thing here is that with regards to US student loans, the market is already deciding everything, but it's backed up by the government having made it impossible to escape student loans by declaring bankruptcy.

That system could potentially be a lot less unfair and a lot lower cost if the government didn't put its thumb on the scales in favour of lenders. This would be true even if the system was still unfair.

There's probably a deeper conversation to be had once the system is closer to neutral, but the point is that it isn't anything like neutral: it's blatantly biased against students.
Although I do agree that in this case it's a bit of a disaster and going to be a huge pain, sometimes it is nice having 50 different jurisdictions.

Most things are pretty similar state-by-state, but it can be really nice being able to pick your laws if you have to. Maybe you love weed and you want to pick a state with legal weed. Or maybe you like drones and want to pick a state with fewer drone laws. So many things differ state-to-state, from REAL ID to trans rights to surveillance to taxes to guns to driving age to social aid to public transit. Gay marriage, slavery, and interracial marriage were all issues of the past but they were very important in their day too.

I do think it's an important part of what makes America America, and being able to "pick your laws" is an amazing freedom that most people don't have.

Now, the actual ability to move wherever you want can sometimes be limited. If you're in Vermont and you want New Hampshire laws, well, that's easy. (Differences: weed, guns, advertising, taxes, many more.) But if you're in Maine and you want Hawaii laws, a move like that probably isn't doable. Still, I think it's a valuable freedom.
> This means that, contrary to popular belief, jobs in the US are far more secure than they were in previous decades.

This is a fallacy. Your job is not secure if you're not able to speak up about injustices because there's no competitors to hire you if you were to get fired about speaking up about something that's immoral but not illegal.

Good article.

I've been coding circles around and teaching Stanford CS undergrad and graduate students for years.

Feels good since I'm self taught.

I tell them I'm a 'street coder'. They're valuable to me ( the CS students ) because they help me put words to CS concepts I have built in my own mind from experience.

Nothing frustrates me more than the scenario outlined in the article. The business folks can and will always say whatever they want that suits the business. That's their thing.

As the leader of the team and domain expert, you should be able to hire whom you deem most qualified. And they biz folks can make up whatever BS they want as long as you're delivering.

That said, I am self-employed in SF. So I don't particularly have to worry about managers. Except for convincing them to hire me, without the fancy degree. Fortunately I think it filters out a lot of the pretentious companies I would not be happy to work with.
Ah ok, I'm back to being confused again then!

Is this right:

If Foo is a struct then Box<Foo> is static dispatch. If Foo is a trait Box<dyn Foo> is dynamic dispatch, but then so is Box<Foo> - but that is the regrettable point. So from now on, if Foo is a trait we should be writing Box<dyn Foo>, which is largely syntactic sugar to make the situation more clear?

I don't fully understand what the release notes are saying about using impl Trait. When would you use Box<impl Foo> vs Box<dyn Foo>?

Although Apache Groovy sits within an ecosystem of statically typed languages, Groovy itself has a long history of dynamic typing only. Its static typing was only introduced in version 2, and even then people don't use it very much -- Groovy's primary use is as a DSL specifying Gradle build scripts. Legacy Groovy code is typically littered with `def` and `{a, b-> ...}` everywhere.

> Remember this the next time someone suggests in code review that you should design your code to meet the whims of the JS engine.

I think the best approach, if you have the discipline to follow it, is to normally code for ease of understanding ("clean code"), and occasionally fall back to performance hacks in performance critical code, but don't stop there. The following will likely make you both much more confident that your choices were correct, that you can easily reverse them when needed at little cost, and that you'll know (or be able to easily query) whether that time has come.

1. Mark each performance hack with some identifier (e.g. a comment, /* PERFHACK #4632 / or / PERFHACK #4632 - destructing is slow */.

2. Maintain a test in the same repo which confirms this assertion, by actually testing the relative speed of each approach, expecting the hack to be faster be some margin. Each test should contain the PERFHACK identifier and optionally a description.

3. Occasionally (or along with regular testing) run all these PERFHACK tests, looking for failures, which would indicate the performance is not a certain percentage greater than the simple case.

4. To fix the failing test, reverse the test assertion, and search the codebase for instances of that PERFHACK identifier and fix those as well.
>A decent summary of some of the clinical data is here

Thanks! That looks extremely informative, and I only had a chance to skim through it so far.

I couldn't help but notice how many (at least half) of the referenced studies were in the past 10 years. That does suggest to me that changing attitudes have more to do with it than legalization.

> Interestingly, you can find examples of both adjunct and comparator studies, which are usually blinded in some way to reduce stigma or bias. (If anything, the bias tends to favor cannabis-consuming patients, since it's hard to hide the fact that the pill you just took in a "blinded" clinical trial is making you high.)

I'm a bit confused by what you mean by "favors" here. Do you mean that an otherwise/previously cannabis-using patient would report more favorable results (and/or fewer negative side effects)? Or that such a patient would more likely receive actually better benefits? Or that they would be more likely to be in the trial in the first place?

Are there clinical trials where the participants don't know what (potential) active therapy they could get is? The ones I've looked at in the US have always said, but I've only looked at a couple very specific conditions.

I've been told that college anxiety didn't exist 20 years ago

As the parent of a HS senior in the fall, I long for those old days (like it was when I was in HS). It's insane what we put kids through. Unintended side effects are a real thing, and they are very, very hard to know in advance.
I think it's intentional. I use Google Voice as my primary phone number, and there are various services that won't let me use it for 2FA, etc. I opened a support ticket with Discord to ask why, and after many emails back in forth they told me they have a database of what type of phone number every phone number is, and mine is "VoIP" which they claim cannot receive SMSes. (Everyone else, including my bank, has no trouble, of course... because they check by sending the SMS, not asking some outdated database if it's possible to send the SMS.)

What they didn't tell me, but I assume, is that some popular discord servers require phone verification to limit spam... and if anyone could just use a VoIP number as that phone verification, then that wouldn't work. (It still doesn't work, of course, but they think it does.) I, of course, just want to have an account recovery phone number, but they conflate the two uses of the phone number (person identifier, versus arbitrary second factor).

TL;DR, a lot of places are dumb and intentionally prevent you from using any sort of "recyclable" phone number. It helps them keep up the illusion that a phone number uniquely identifies exactly one person. Maybe that's true in South Korea, but it isn't here. So it just screws legitimate users for no reason.

Apple will absolutely let you purchase ebooks within their ecosystem. But if you are selling other people's books, that 30% is likely your entire margin.

Ironically, you can buy real books too, without giving apple a cut (except their portion for the CC tx fees from the bank for Apple Pay)
