Remember, this isn't a vendor from the evil wedding industry that forced them to do that, most likely a bunch of family members. The wedding industry is well and alive because of families and people that want to keep it alive! We kept telling everyone we didn't need or want a wedding cake. Well we ended up with a wedding cake, paid for by the sister in law, because she couldn't sleep at night thinking there wouldn't be a cake.

> those lost lives will cost the US billions in lost productivity over time

It's so strange how prevalent it has become in the past few years to talk of human beings in terms of productivity. Growing up in the 90s, all the talk was about how we were mindless consumers. Now, all I hear is people talking of others and themselves as producers and productivity. How they feel about themselves and their worth depends on whether they had a 'productive day'. What does that really even mean? It's amazing how quickly the vernacular changes.

Never in a million years would I have ever thought of someone dying and juxtaposing that with productivity. Why even bring it up? Are we here just to produce for society or the wealthy or the government? 20 years ago, would we have been upset at all the consumers or consumption being lost through suicide and death? We are talking of others and ourselves like farmers talk about produce and livestock. Maybe that's what modern society has reduced us to. Livestock that needs to produce.

What I didn't understand was there are several CEOs and executives of BRK portfolio companies on the BOD and why is there a not conflict there, but would be with MSFT...the reason, it seems to me is none of those portfolio company execs on the BOD report earnings separately from BRK. (wholly owned)

I was only asking about alimony, not asset division. It’s become clear in his situation that he previously had a high paying job, quit or switched to a lesser paying job right before the divorce, and expected the alimony to be reflected based on the lower salary. It looks like he thinks it was unfair that alimony was based on his higher paying job and that’s why he said the judge has a lot of leeway in how to set alimony. Personally I’m not surprised by that at all and think it’s fair although unfortunate since he has the potential to earn a higher income. Likewise, had she received lower alimony I could envision him changing his mind the following year and going back to a FAANG company to earn big bucks again. That wouldn’t be fair either and judges know that I imagine.

Everything great and bad about JavaScript can be explained by a simple facet of human behavior and one simple principle of technology.

JavaScript has a low barrier of entry, which means you don't have to be incredibly competent to write code or get hired to write code. It also means a novice with incredible potential could eventually learn to build great things in the language.

An interesting phenomenon of human behavior is that people cannot practice charity and profit simultaneously (altruism versus egoism). It is a forced dichotomy. You have to choose and there is no middle ground. This forced choice is present even when the environment, incentives, and stimulus allow for both. This is long observed in scientific philosophy, but there is also a fair amount of behavioral health research on this as well.

These factors could explain, even when normalizing for hours of practice, why open source practitioners may develop more skill and interest than developers limiting their practice to employment contributions. It might also explain why code in commonly despised fields, such as online advertising or e-commerce checkout platforms, are so incredibly awful and negligent.

The human genome has less information in it than a playlist. And even at that, we share most of our genes with mice.

Our brains can store at least 5 and probably 10 or 15 orders of magnitude more information.

I'm not saying that genes don't influence our behavior, but if you pick a random human behavior, it orders of magnitude more likely to be learned than to be determined by genetics.

People who disagree with us are not somehow less evolved than we are; they just have had different life experiences that we did.

I believe the parent's point was not about the veracity of climate change, but rather the impact of constant exposure to fear.

Herbert's quip that "Fear is the mind killer" is apt.

Research (has hit the HN front page several times) bears out the fact that constant exposure to stress decreases IQ.

Ergo, the first step to most effectively combating anything is to accept it, but NOT give in to fear and despair.

Climate change is real. We are not doing enough to counteract it. But we can.

De-facto closed source: the case for understandable software
You're perpetuating a myth that drug use is all about personal choice. Many addicts started with prescription opioids, recommended by their doctor, and only moved to more dangerous options once their doctor's supply was extinguished. Doctors themselves over-prescribed these to attack pain, meanwhile they were being lied to by pharma about the addictiveness of opioids. On top of that, you have fentanyl being added to heroin to increase its potency, and also vastly increase the mortality rate.

Finally, it may be hard for those of us who were never addicted to opioids to understand. It no longer becomes a simple choice when your body is extremely sick if you don't get your dose. This is one reason why a drug addict might steal from those they love, their illness is literally the most important physical sensation at any moment, overcoming familial and societal norms. It's a scourge and illness, not merely a choice.
It is generally accepted that the USSR/Russia is more iterative in weapons development, while trying crazy one offs now and again (high speed, high depth, double-hull titanium submarines, supercavitating torpedoes, plasma stealth, 3D-thrust-vectoring on fighters, PESA radar on the MIG31, etc, etc). They keep what sticks, for example high off-bore, helmet queued IR-missile targeting on the MIG-29 (it took a while for the US AIM-9 to catch up), but go for the cheaper versions on everything else.

While it is a budgetary necessity now, it simply "worked" in the past.

The same can't really be said for their rockets though, Musk is going to "crush them" to quote our friend Khruschev, and then Russia has no technological lead left, at all. Maybe niches in cybersecurity and new nuclear power generators, but that seems to be about it. Tragic really.

Also, yes abstracting a platform is a lot of pain but Nim accepts PR even for niche platforms like Haiku, Genode and Nintendo Switch.

Also with the upcoming destructors, the standard library will be GC-free so much more will be usable on embedded.

I very strongly doubt this is part of the browsers same origin model. Basically, this is only secure under the assumption that the third party script can't trick the first party script into invoking it by modifying its state since the third party script and the first party script both share the same global namespace.

Lets see how this is broken when jquery is running as a first party script.

1. third party script calls $(document).on("..", function() {})
2. event executes which causes jquery to invoke a function in the third party script
3. third party script can now make a request to the 1st party origin bypassing the 'sandbox'

ok.. so maybe the browser tries to 'secure' against this attack by marking event listeners as either having a 'good' stack or a 'bad' stack. in this case when the third party script does $(document).on() it would be identified as 'bad' stack and couldn't then make the http request because the browser would see <bad stack> at the start of the event chain.

but this can still be worked around:

1. third party script calls $(document).on("event", ".selector", function() {}) after 1st party script had already set a listener on document (not an abnormal thing)

2. event happens and now it is run with 'good' stack because jquery uses a shared event handler and the event handler was originally registered with 'good' stack by the first party script. (the bad script doesn't even have to use the 'live' style. i suspect jquery shares event handlers for the same element so they would just need to try to add an event handler to an element that already has a jquery event handler)

there can be no security between scripts that share the same global state.

Your argument reminds me of a debate I ran into about using pocket hole jigs. The experts would make hand carved mortis and tenon joints and consistently attacked and ridiculed pocket hole jigs. And said no professional would ever use pocket hole jigs.

Looking at PCI-DSS v3.2.1, Requirement 11.5:

"Deploy a change-detection
mechanism (for example, file-integrity
monitoring tools) to alert personnel to
unauthorized modification (including
changes, additions, and deletions) of
critical system files, configuration files, or
content files; and configure the software to
perform critical file comparisons at least
weekly."

...

"Examples of files that should be monitored:
• System executables
• Application executables
• Configuration and parameter files
• Centrally stored, historical or archived, log and audit files
• Additional critical files determined by entity (for example,
through risk assessment or other means)."

...

"Note: For change-detection purposes,
critical files are usually those that do not
regularly change, but the modification of
which could indicate a system compromise
or risk of compromise. Change-detection
mechanisms such as file-integrity
monitoring products usually come preconfigured
with critical files for the related
operating system. Other critical files, such
as those for custom applications, must be
evaluated and defined by the entity (that is,
the merchant or service provider)."

I was told there were some rumors or evidence about apple source code in microsoft software...

https://www.zdnet.com/article/stop-the-lies-the-day-that-mic...

A few months later, Apple added Intel and Microsoft to the action. In later testimony, Apple showed that thousands of lines of "significant programming code" for video acceleration used in Windows came directly from Apple's QuickTime for Windows.

A couple of years go by and the companies were all kisses and hugs for the keynote address to the Boston Macworld Expo.

So, is there any ring of "irony" here as the reports make it sound? Not much to my ears. Microsoft and Intel got their fingers caught in the source code and paid for it. Microsoft hired a larger team of former Apple programers, which didn't help Apple directly, and Microsoft Office returned to being real Mac programs instead of lackluster ports.
Typically these systems are set up to automatically snapshot on a periodic basis (say nightly) and automatically pruned after another period (say monthly) - if there was massive activity due to ransomware causing a full disk in most such systems it'd have to be manually investigated, it wouldn't just decide to delete snapshots to free space.

It certainly should help against ransomware in that an admin who was investigating an unexpectedly full disk, who's hopefully aware of such things, would probably notice that all the files on the drive were no longer readable and all had recent modification timestamps. And that's if a user doesn't happen to notice it first and report issues with their files to IT.

As long as those snapshots last more than a few days as to provide sufficient time to catch and investigate the issue, ransomware damage is usually revertable much faster than backups with simple snapshots.

> GSG prohibits the use of static definitions and annonymous namespaces in header files. How else do we declare constants?

Uhm… what?

1)
I would challenge the author to produce any useful use of anonymous namespaces in header files that doesn't violate ODR.
I'd also challenge them to not break ODR with constants in header files in the way they seem to mean.

I should add: without UB, plz.

2)
How else do we declare constants? Uhm, how about:
extern const int foo;
or just "inline constexpr int foo = 1" in header but non-static and not in anonymous namespace?

> Globals like this are not problematic and very useful: [example of nontrivially destructible global]

It doesn't look dangerous, but allowing it does not scale to a billion lines of code. Code easier to reason about is less buggy code.

Two elements of Starcraft makes this "get more ahead" approach relevant there while it really isn't in Chess.

Firstly Starcraft has economics in the form of the resource gathering mechanics. This means if you pursue attack as your only priority the enemy may get ahead economically and, if they survive long enough, just out-build you. No mechanic like that exists in Chess, you can't have more pawns if you invest in a pawn-making machine for one turn rather than moving.

Secondly, Starcraft is a game of deliberately hidden knowledge. You don't know whether those two wounded Marines ran up that ramp hoping your forces won't follow, or if they're just bait to draw your attacking force into range of two waiting Siege Tanks who will do enormous damage. In Chess the game state is entirely open.

I don't think this is true. I just tried to replicate it with 2 different hostsnames pointing to 127.0.0.1 in my /etc/hosts. js loaded from origin2.foo on a page with an origin of origin1.foo can XHR things from origin1.foo, but not from origin2.foo.

“What’s old is new again. The paper observes that some of the millennials’ parents were subject to similar baseless grumbles of "kids these days" from their elders.”

I don’t know though. Seems like part of the nastiness of the times is the baby boomers constantly taking jabs at millennials. Perhaps the silent generation complained the boomers weren’t “frugal enough” but I have a hard time believing they had such widespread disdain for their kids as the boomers do. Anyone seen any research that quantifies that?
