I think you are misconstruing what I've said. I'm all for inalienable rights based on the fact that people are human, what I'm trying to point out here is that there is an idealized view of politics and a realistic view. And you can look back throughout the history of this country and all countries and see that political movements are mostly driven by those whose stake is directly tied to their identity.

A majority of the civil rights leaders were African Americans. A majority of the women's suffrage movement were women. Just last year you had the investor class lobbying for special deals in the tax code so that the estate tax was lowered. What I'm saying is that you can look at any political issue today and find that the driving force behind it is usually driven by some ideology based on identity. NIMBYs drive NIMBY policy because they are homeowners. Young people are more concerned about policies that would alleviate student debt, rural farmers want their animals to graze on federal land. Everywhere you look identity politics are at play because fundamentally your identity (age, race, sex, profession, lifestyle) helps shape who you are and what you care about.

Believe me, the reports of side effects are real.

It took me about 2 years to recover, and probably only because I had a mild case.

What is the type safety story of the macro-based Lisp-style code generation?

Macro-like code generation is what the compiler does when it processes type-parametrized functions. It's more restricted that way, but it also prevents type-unsafe macro expansions due to mistake.
>simply change your utility function

... how?
Combative a bit are we?

I mean something properly founded in type theory, like say _refinement types_ as implemented in liquid haskell: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/... . Constraints of course are _not_ refinement types, but very close to a _subset_ of refinement types. Specifically they have deep similarity to Refined Type Classes from the above paper.

Having used Idris, LiquidHaskell, and F* to implement provable algorithms for some distributed systems I _don't_ think Go should go down that route. The techniques are simply not simple or clean enough for more general purpose languages. But having a type system which has a subset of those feature, and which stands on firmer mathematical firmament lets you reason about stuff like "which of these two programs is okay:

```
// OK
type List(type T) struct {
elem T
next List(T)
}

// NOT OK - Implies an infinite sequence of types as you follow .next pointers.
type Infinite(type T) struct {
next Infinite(Infinite(T))
}```

Which the go authors see as problematic:

> "It is unclear what the algorithm is for deciding which programs to accept and which to reject."

Idris certainly has no problem choosing which ones should and should not be used.
So with the laws, how do we know when we're done?

For example, we had Newtonian Mechanics and that looked good for a couple of centuries, but then it turned out that it was too simple and we needed to add more laws.

As a Dutch person I am pleasantly surprised by this article, it gets basically everything right. One thing though is that our geography works well with biking. I visited the US recently and you can drive for 30 minutes in a car and you are still in LA, if you drive for 30 minutes in the Netherlands you're in a completely different city. Everything is just closer and hence more bike-able.

As a dutch person I would absolutely NOT want to ride a bike in the US, it's simply too dangerous. There are so many cars that are not looking out for cyclists. For example, I never saw my Uber/Lyft driver peek over his shoulder. In the Netherlands we fail our driving exam if we forget this even once. Another example is the insane speed cars fly past the "share the road"-bikelanes. It's crazy. I would feel really unsafe on a bike in the US.
I actually went to the US in that exact scenario - tourist visa, six months, paid peanuts. (This was back in 2000.) Until then, it had been a dream of mine to visit the US and that accomplished that dream.

I have fond memories of that time and I would revisit... but I'll wait until things return to how they were back then. (Start at "no TSA" and go from there.)

Fuzzers[1] as well as reverse engineering tools. For fuzzers there is both the publicly available ones like AFL [2] and custom/closed source ones. It seems to me every zero day author has their own fuzzers or fuzzing frameworks or at least a closed fork of an open source fuzzer. But to me finding the bug is less difficult then turning it into an exploit. Shoot you can still find bugs in modern software by bit flipping, as an example I wrote a fuzzer that opened up random PDF files and flipped some bits at random and then opened them with Preview. it did this about 40,000 times a day and after a couple days I would come back and my mac had kernel panicked. Now turning one of these PDF files that cause kernel panics into an exploit is going to require significantly more effort then writing and running a dumb fuzzer.

That said, a travel ban on travelers originating from or having recently been to China is too harsh. Mandatory quarantines (with the costs of such quarantine being the responsibility of the traveler) would be more prudent.
OneNote does this, but not very well. It can understand polygons and ovals. Arrows drawn in one stroke will convert to a line with no arrow at the end, and if you try to draw a > arrowhead as a separate stroke it doesn't understand to convert it to a shape.

Using a closed triangle as an arrowhead does trigger shape conversion, but I don't know anyone who draws arrows that way.

It's called "Ink to Shape" on the Draw tab.

I was once told soap opera is literally named for disposable shows that people at the laundromat would have on while waiting for their clothes to finish drying. That turns out to be a folk etymology, but it's believable.

As for original programming seemed dumbed down, I'd argue that for whatever reason (general technical advancements, maybe), it's far easier to make dumb shows, with higher production values. That's how you get wannabe prestige dramas that ape the style of The Sopranos, Mad Men, even costume epics like Game of Shows, but end up being far more vapid and worse in writing or plot. It's sort of how even box office stinkers these days look much better than bad movies used to do.

Not a contractor myself (I "escaped" into IT), but I come from a family that's almost exclusively contractors and had quite a few summer jobs on construction sites.

I think for more, err, concrete advice, some indication of the location you want to build in would be helpful.

Either way, you will likely want to involve an architect if you're building your first house, to help getting your ideas to paper within the confines of local building codes. You'll also want a structural engineer verifying the suitability of the design, especially with something as heavy as concrete.

If you're in the US (at least) or other places where wood framing is more common than concrete or stone, the "uncommon" material will likely increase cost noticeably.

Also keep in mind that unless you want to drywall the interior of the house anyway, you'll have to make sure you have pipes and conduits for everything in place before you pour the concrete. Even if you are planning to drywall the interior, you're still looking at making sure all your mechanical systems (heating/cooling, water, electricity) can actually be routed from one floor to the next.

If you're looking for an inspirational rabbit hole to go down, check out this thread on Garage Journal: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=145073

The cyclist vs motorist dynamic in NL is skewed because practically all motorists are cyclists too.
I had always thought this too, but apparently it's not the default behavior.

Stingrays (and presumably other IMSI catchers) don't actually act as a bridge to a legitimate network; they're a terminal connection, and effectively deny service to any devices connected to them. This is the default behavior, and it's how the FBI has claimed they're deployed domestically. The reason they don't cause major outages appears to be that they only accept connections from targeted phones; they could equally easily be used as mobile DoS beacons. And the reason they don't cause targets to abandon their 'broken' phone is that they don't have to run full-time for effective triangulation.

For Stingrays to collect calls, as outlined in your link, is effectively a whole new service on top of the basic behavior. The Stingray continues to be an endpoint for the targeted phone, but also extracts the GSM encryption key on the device. It then opens a new connection to a cell tower, and uses the IMSI and stolen encryption to impersonate the real device. From that point on, its a mitm attack.

So the only way a Stingray transfers calls is for targeted users, while configured in a mode that's supposedly not employed in the US. Harris is claiming they use a variant of this system to pass 911 calls, Wyden is pointing out that it's completely untested and doesn't even claim to support text-to-speech dialing.

for sure. It would also be lovely to add sum types to Protobufs too, while we're at it. many message protocols are very neatly described with sum types in my opinion.

Also, errors would be way more elegant as a sum type:

instead of:

err, a := x

if err != nil {
}

we can do:

switch a {
Err(err) -> {},
Ok(a) -> {},
}

and avoid null pointers :) and then "check" is literally just "bind/ try!, flatMap, =<<" or however your language du jour calls it :)
If you're totally new to LDAP (which despite being "just an object database" has many bells and whistles to fit into various deployments) there is always going to be a little friction at first - there's a reason people make good money offering consultancy and support for LDAP servers.

>Are there use cases for Magic Leap that support non gamers ? Or is it mostly a niche product like an Oculus ?

AR will definitely be the way forward for all computing. This brief awkward period of 50ish years using analog inputs and physical screens which we are currently living through will be seen as a blip in the history of human-computer interaction hundreds of years from now. However the only use case for this iteration of the technology is for developers to begin working on new interaction paradigms and app ideas for AR in general. We're still years away from true consumer tech but I can admit as someone very familiar with VR/AR hardware that the Magic Leap One is a solid evolutionary step forward from what we've seen so far. I'm not impressed enough to buy one yet, but at least the company has shown they aren't total vaporware at this point and hopefully they can keep improving.
China’s refusal to share virus is “scandalous… many could die needlessly”

Compared to the Chinese government, yes. Competitive governments are more transparent and less corrupt than dictatorships. If one divides the world into binary categories of “never lies” and “has ever lied,” sure, both Beijing and D.C. lie. But in frequency and magnitude, the former knocks it out of the park.

I would wager it's not the default list resulting from their algorithms, and was in fact explicitly manipulated to present the list you see now.

The original article claims something similar albeit on a different search result.

A main one not pointed out: cars are always (extreme negligence would be the tipping point) liable for crashes with cyclists and pedestrians. That's quite supportive for keeping an eye out for possible danger. To support that liability insurance is obligatory for motorists.

This will save you a lot of cursing.

Also if you are going with concrete then the electrics will be poured in, make sure you put a lifeline in for some circuits. (this is a connection from the entry point to a different point in the circuit than the connection you already have) This could save a lot of work if something goes awry and you lose a connection.

You don't get a connection at all. Stingrays imitate cell towers, but their default behavior is as a dead endpoint; they collect requests and location data but don't reply. They apparently can be used as bridges, which Harris is claiming always happens for 911 calls, but it's not clear that works.

> It would be one thing to make demands on the basis of unfair treatment with regards to universal principles. It's another thing to make demands * merely on the basis of identity.*

I think the problem with the term identity politics is that people have a very limited view of identity. Being white in America is apart of your identify, being gay is part of your identity, living in a big city is a part of your identity, being college educated is a a part of your identity. Each of these things and dozens more help to drive your political viewpoint and what you lobby for.

I think for the most part the political groups that have been branded as "identity politics" are all about fair treatment for all, these groups arise usually when fair treatment is not given to them specifically and so they lobby on their own behalf.

Look at Black Lives Matter, this is an organization / movement that sprung up after multiple killings of black men by police and is focused on police reform. You can call this identity politics if you want but then I would also say that Right to Life groups who protest abortion because of their Christian beliefs are also identity politics. So are PACs funded by wealthy individuals who would like to see their taxes cut. This is what I mean when I say all politics is identity politics.
