>leaving flaming bags of dog poop on your front porch before ringing your doorbell and making a getaway by segway while cackling madly. yet, every day, i resist the overriding temptation

If there were millions of dollars to be made in the flaming dog shit Segway getaway business, I am positive many would succumb to the temptation.

So your comparison is unfair, it's easy for you to avoid such a behavior because you have no benefits. Not securing a device is a significant economic win for the manufacturer, as explained by the thread originator. You get a device that "just works" as opposed to one with complex key setup instructions that by necessity must default in the misconfigured state (else, you bet everybody is using the defaults).

It's denser because there are so many lines of assignment statements in other languages. Though the temp vars provide some form of documentation, I still prefer to focus on compositions of pure functions and tests.
Even with the digital copy of the genome, you have to synthesize the entire genome, the cell it belongs in, and the rest of the seed to get a plant. That seems... possible, but hard enough that it doesn't make sense to call the sequenced genome a "backup".
Not snarky at all. It's mostly about the manufacturing process (machinery, settings, process etc) that would make it different. This would be for a factory made product. THanks

Liability is generally a much better approach than specific regulation. Lawsuits happen after the fact and concern actual harm suffered by actual people. Damages are assigned based on this actual harm. That means that in liability system the price of bad behavior is approximately the harm it causes, which is exactly what you want. Liability doesn't require everyone to actually go to court, because almost all lawsuits or threats thereof are settled based on expectations shaped by previous cases that did go to court. Further, class action lawsuits allow large numbers of harmed people to be represented in a single action at no cost to themselves.

Regulation, on the other hand, is an ex ante affair. It involves some central planning authority, whether Congress or some administrative agency, trying to create rules that they believe will prevent future problems. The regulator will always get it wrong to some extent, often to a very large extent. Rules can be too specific, stifling innovations that would allow actors to achieve the same or better results with different methods. They can be too strict or too loose. The rule making process is also necessarily slow, so regulations tend to come too late and linger too long after technology has moved on. Finally, regulations are ultimately political, driven by what will translate into votes, not necessarily efficiency. If they represent a right-wing constituency, that will mean looser regulation; if a left-wing constituency, tighter regulation.

What's interesting about liability is that companies will buy insurance for it. The insurance companies will demand compliance with certain rules in order to be covered--essentially private regulations. But unlike government regulation, there are multiple competing insurance companies. The resulting market for insurance means that the market searches for the optimal balance between harm prevention and profitability. Insurance companies have a strong incentive to devise the rules that provide the optimum level of security for lowest cost possible.

>Imperfect Produce claims they’re saving the world by reducing food waste–and helping farmers by buying surplus ugly produce that would have been thrown out. Sounds great. The reality is that this produce would have otherwise gone to food banks, to be redistributed for free.

I've been chewing on this for a while. Who's in charge of setting up a social safety net? Whose responsibility is it to make sure people don't starve in the streets?

I thought I paid taxes to my government to socialize the issue across my representative district, but my government (in the USA) has disagreed with me - that money is to be spent on fighter jets (to quote the executive branch), while the churches are responsible for taking care of the homeless. And by the way, the homeless are responsible for policing themselves (to quote my mayor).

A couple weeks ago Domino's Pizza filled a bunch of potholes and stamped their logo on the asphalt after. I thought that would cause a national discussion. I thought at the very least, the city that it happened in would be humiliated enough to make the foolish mistake of maybe trying to slap back at Domino's for putting their logo all over the street. Nope, business as usual.

In other words, why suddenly are people starving again because imperfect produce found a capitalist way to reduce waste?

I disagree with your disagree.

Say we all lived 50 years ago and worked in ergonomics engineering instead of software engineering. People were fairly comfortable doing non-stressful work, which I guess was better than being pulled into meat grinders of The Jungle.

However, there was this new science that was indicating a new problem of repetitive stress injuries. Over the next 20-ish years, we learned that these injuries caused a ton of harm, so we started legislating protections against these types of stresses, when which resulted in increased productivity.

Now switch to today. What makes the lax of software security best practices so different from repetitive stress injuries 50 years ago?

Software engineering is feeling like it will follow the same path as every other engineering. First, we'll feel like we're gods. Then, we'll suffer losses. Finally, we'll be regulated.

Remember, every regulation is written in blood. Software will be no different.

In that analogy, perhaps it's more like having successfully read out every byte of a binary that was encoded onto a medium that is extremely to read off of.

> This has nothing to do with Moore's Law or improving processors directly. If anything, this is a software optimization problem.

This is such a contradictory sentence. The whole point of Moore's law was that software developers could do what they want, freed by limitations of hardware because in 18 months, when their product was ready for launch, the hardware became capable enough to handle it.

Forcing developers to focus more and more on performance (via threading, distributed systems, and custom die co-processors), rather than innovating new applications, is a huge shift. It's like the hardware developers gave up, and tell the software developers that it's in your hands now.

Also, comparing a hello world program 10 years ago to today is a meaningless comparison because no one uses hello world to do anything. A better example would be Excel in 1998 and Excel in 2018. Sure today, it's a 500 megabytes instead of a just a handful, but it does quite a bit more (for better or worse).

I always use the self checkouts at Home Depot. You just drag every item across the scanner and then pay. If something is too large to scan, the assistant will hand-scan it for you.

At the grocery store, it's a totally different story. Every time I try to use the self-checkouts, I end up regretting it. I think the difference is that the grocery store machine attempts to make sure you don't steal anything by verifying that nothing is put in the bags without a scan, or that the weight of that something agrees with what is scanned. This never works, it always says "unexpected item in bagging area", and then you have to wait for a store person to clear it for you. It ends up taking forever. (Not to mention the vegetables without bar codes that the actual checkers have all the codes memorized for but that you have to search through a long list to find...)

Does the food industry have a moral obligation to produce waste for the poor? It seems they discovered a market segment that had been previously overlooked.

Being transparent about where the food would have gone might make people think twice before lowering their quality standards, but in aggregate, I think the technology to route second-rate food to bargain hunters is a genie that won't be easily rebottled.

To change your thinking about goals, you’ll need to recognize
that goals aren’t for everyone.

And that’s completely okay.

Goals and problems are mentioned in your original post, but they
are fundamentally different things.

Goals usually mean you’re adding value. Problems mean you’re
fixing something. Mixing the two is likely what’s making things
difficult. Sometimes we make a goal to solve a problem, and
sometimes we try to solve a problem to achieve a goal.

But goals and problems are not the same thing.

This isn’t just semantics.

We’ve all witnessed those visionary folks that are born to set
and achieve goals e.g. Steve Jobs.

Then there are the problem-solving geniuses who can break down
and debug just about any problem you throw at them.

This discussion should never be framed as a choice between legal solutions and technical solutions. They are complementary.

The legal approach is correct and easy for the public to understand. Explained correctly it is also popular. The government used to have to do things like get a warrant and investigate specific crimes. They couldn't listen to everyone's phone conversations all the time and they shouldn't be able to do this on the Internet either. Digital dragnets are illegal and unconstitutional.

The technical approach is also correct. If you're building something that makes it harder for criminals inside the government to commit more crimes, you're doing work that is profound and in the best interests of society. Anyone with passion and technical skill can participate in this work. It's the right thing to do.

Both efforts help each other. Keep the government in line and accountable to the people. Make it harder for people inside the government to do the wrong thing. All approaches deserve support and should leverage each other's work. They should cooperate with law-abiding, constitutionally empowered government authorities as well. There are good guys in the government too.

Sure, that would be difficult. Keeping wheat out of even dissimilar grains is currently a challenge for food producers and processors. The test would be the same, though, as testing any other grain for contamination, which is routine - test for gluten.

As far as future treatments,

“Future potential treatments for patients with RCD include the development of genetically detoxified grains, oral and intranasal 'coeliac vaccines' to induce tolerance, inhibitors of TTG, and detoxification of immunogenic gliadin peptides via oral peptidase supplement therapy.”

I had a similar experience. It made me understand how front-end javascript frameworks actually work (in general). The no-fluff approach taken by the framework meant that code was clear and descriptive docs helped (reminds me of Django's docs sometimes). I wish there were more tutorials though.
Technical and legal solutions are not complementary, they're relatively unrelated. Legal rules addressing behavior are about what we "should" do. Technical rules are about what we "can" do. Technology is about implementation and enforcement, law is about what we consider to be the correct result.

But the main place where law and tech come together is enforcement. For law to work at all, it has to be enforced relatively evenly. Technology may make a law's enforcement impossible or easy, but it does not make it more or less "right" in the abstract.

My experience with M4 is using it to write SELinux policy. The reference policy (which serves as a baseline to build build custom policy on top of) is essentially a DSL implemented with M4. Its actually a good language, and looks a lot like how we would have designed it if we were actually going to write it properly [0]. However, debugging it when something goes wrong (eg, what should be a syntax error) is atrocious. I'm sure it is great if you stick to using it for macros. However, at this point, I view it in the same light as Microsoft Excel: good at what it does, but too powerful for its own good. If your not careful, it will grow until you wish you had been using a proper programming language from the begging.

[0] Except for the backtick as opening quote. Objectively, I think this is a good design decision for any language, but it takes a lot of getting used to.

There are some other issues, but I'm not sure they're fixable by technology alone:

* Getting from zero to accepting payments is long and complicated. Some of this can be streamlined, but how much of it is limited by anti-money-laundering regulations?

* The concept of "you can initiate a charge as long as you have about 40 bits of information, and can do so for 2-5 years or until the card is revoked" is a model doomed to fraud problems.

* There's no legal requirement that all potential legal merchants get serviced or at fair rates. See the recent discussions about payments for the porn industry; plenty of processors will not want to work with gun dealers.

* There's no solid standardization, so you can't shop around providers freely because changing who you buy from may mean you have to replace your swipe machines or rebuild your cart to talk to the new vendor's gateway of choice.
but then how will you keep track of which parameters worked well? I've been essentially storing my kwargs in json and not felt a need to control anything directly from the CLI.
> Pascal and C did not have dynamic scoping

They also did not have first-class functions.

The Lisp community investigated dynamic scope, because functions can take functions as arguments and can return functions as values. In this context dynamic scope showed its problems and closures were wanted. It took some time to find out what the problems are and what solutions were: closures (first Lisp implementors tried to add closures as an additional programming construct) and then lexical scope by default. During some time there was also a difference between the Lisp interpreter (using dynamic scope) and the same language implemented with a compiler (using lexical scope). Scheme and then Common Lisp required that both use the same technique: lexical scope.

Since neither C nor PASCAL had first class functions, they never had the problems of implementing closures, implementing garbage collection, etc... This also means that users never were programming with closures in these languages.
