> The fourth amendment is still a thing, and it protects non-citizens and citizens alike.

That's not entirely correct, despite your emphatic all caps assertions.

Under under Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act of 2008[1], they can wait for a non-US person to depart the US, then use the full powers of the NSA to access the harvested communications under the username(s) collected at the border.

The level of "cause" needed for FISA warrant is very thin, and only 0.3% of FISA warrants are rejected[3].

Other than the ability to put a predicate in the pattern position (which you can do in several languages, including Haskell with ViewPatterns), I still don't see what Perl 6 adds here? Of course it's more difficult to model the problem using sum types, but there's an asymmetry here: whereas given can't do powerful pattern-matching features like exhaustiveness checking, GADTs, auto case-split in an IDE, efficient case trees, etc., the opposite isn't true. Haskell can do everything Perl does here, just by using strings! The other features (multiple variables to split on) are pretty standard these days.

My question is - what does DHS do with this info?

Considering the workload on visa reviewers, I highly doubt they are perusing through people’s social media and making a judgement.

I’m assuming DHS already has a list of flagged handles and just comparing the two against each other. I also assume handles are stored so if flagged at a later date, a visa could be revoked.

>I agree, but that's where the many caveats come in. First, my argument is more one of diminishing returns (following Brooks's theory). I.e., languages make an increasingly small difference. C may have been a big improvement over assemby, and Java may have been a smaller but still quite big improvement over C, but now differences are quite small.

I don't necessarily disagree, but I'm a bit skeptical about the way in which you use the concept of diminishing returns. If I'm not mistaken then Brooks used diminishing returns in relation to headcount. And this is in fact how economists use the term as well - adding quantitatively more of one production factor.

But that doesn't apply to qualitative changes like introducing new production methods and tools, which is what programming languages are. New programming languages are not simply "more programming language".

If we agree that there have been observable effects of new programming languages in the past, then we cannot exclude the possibility of the same happening in the future.

This sounds like someone who has never lived in the US as a visa holder. If you are living in the US on a visa or even on a green card, CBP agents have a shocking amount of discretion to detain.

He is a very interesting part of this whole article along with his son. The amount of physical labor involved is staggering. I've dug some trenches by hand, the longest being two feet deep for conduit, maybe 5 meters at most. Really hard work. Took me half a day. Reading through this article and seeing the amount of physical labor involved actually makes me anxious. But this guy and his son did it all. Most likely without complaint.

It applies to all people "subject to the jurisdiction" of the US. Members of an invading army obviously don't qualify, even if they were on US soil. when the US captured Japanese soldier occupy the Alutian islands, they were kept as POWs, not charged with "illegal invasion" or whatever.
Perhaps he negotiated hardball: "I am the only one who understands this code or how to use it; you own the copyright, yes, but without me, it's useless, and will bitrot within years. I am leaving, and if I don't have it, I will simply rewrite it from scratch, and better, though it will take me a lot of time I would rather not spend and risks failure. So you have a choice: you can license it to me and we can share the results, or you can be a dog in the manger and pay full price for my future work. Choose."
I think this sort of excuse is always superficially applicable and therefore meaningless. There is no malfeasance that can't be described as "a rational response to perverse regulatory incentives", but "rational" falsely implies a singular possibility chosen objectively. It's incorrect to defend a specific failure as being compelled, because one hasn't explained why this failure and not the near-infinite number of other possible ones.

> there's not much of an argument to be made to shrink the pool of candidates so we can use reduce

Sure, but since you mentioned that your team tries to write javascript in a functional paradigm, doesn’t it make sense to filter out candidates who aren’t comfortable with functional programming in general (and reduce is a marker, albeit very superficial, of candidate’s familiarity with this paradigm)?

Of course I don’t know how hardcore your functional style is; whether it’s just map-filter-reduce, or whether it’s also currying, composing and lenses (basically, ramda; also not very familiar to OOP programmers, I would imagine), or whether it’s all the way down to imitating Haskell in Javascript (Maybe monad, Either monad, State monad, reader monad, lifting, etc.; basically, crocks).
The Sheep Look Up was similar, and depressingly prescient.
I too prefer to use the "inefficient" notation because it just feels wrong (kind of an antipattern in the functional sense if you will) to mutate the argument. And as long as you are not dealing with a huge input list, this doesn't really matter at all.

Also, why would the memory complexity be n * n? Sure, a new object is created in each iteration, but its not like you have to keep the previous ones in memory - all but the last one can be garbage collected.
I quite like what TimescaleDB have done here - their TSL licence prohibits you from selling TimescaleDB as a service, but allows you to build new services that use TimescaleDB as a backend. I'm not sure how applicable this model might be outside of databases though.

There was just a Planet Money podcast episode (#917 'Quit Threat') that gives some evidence of the opposite.

It depends how those symbols are encoded. Techniques like attention, and systems like transformers that are built on top of them, are often produce highly interpretable execution traces simply because their patterns of activity are very revealing of how they are going about solving the task. It's harder to interrogate their learned weights in any free-standing way, of course.

But the neuro-symbolic concept learning paper I gave already shows the potential translucency of these kinds of hybrid systems: the linguistic interface (its a VQA task) allows one to simply look up the feature vectors and programs associated with particular phrases or English nouns. Similarly, the scene is parsed in an explicitly interpretable way, with bounding boxes for the various objects on which reasoning will commence. This 'bridge' theme between natural language and the underlying task space is really powerful, and it probably makes sense to figure out how we include them for systems that have nothing to do with natural language.

https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.11390 contains another great example of how interpretable such models can be, especially if they are generative. Take a look at those segmentations!

Lastly, https://arxiv.org/abs/1604.00289 lays out this vision in a lot more detail.

Just-in-time compilation can use for compilation data available right before code execution - for example, results of previous loop executions. This data can be unavailable during static compilation time, so static compilation can theoretically produce inferior code.
> If you are living in the US on a visa or even on a green card, CBP agents have a shocking amount of discretion to detain.

My comment you replied to wasn't about ability to detain or the definitions of "probable cause" in immigration law, it was about the specific policy at issue which is demanding social media IDs so they can issue a warrant to facebook or whoever. And specifically that it was being likened to a surveillance program, when it clearly is not.

All I'm saying is that if you want people to take your anger seriously (and I do! I'm on your side here!) you need to argue specifics and not just mash vote buttons based on your tribal affiliation.

This policy is not just like China's social credit system. There are other policies that are bad. Those aren't arguments against that point.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, but there is an unfortunate abundant of rhetoric that flows like this: "we should improve something somewhat" that gets derailed with "no, you should become stoic instead".
I might be the extreme sort of skeptic, but I can't help but roll my eyes whenever I see the published results for any experiment conducted in the social sciences. What worries me even more is that when published the public can take the results and treat them as fact.

So let's take a look at what we can about this experiment:

1) A sample size of 87: Okay, better than many studies, but I still have my doubts about the statistical power for this study.

2) The adults used for this study were recruited from Amazon's Mechanical Turk: Okay, already we have a selection bias. At this pointed I'm strongly tempted to read no further.

3) I can't get any more details about the experiment itself since I don't want to pay $US40 to access the PDF.

> Stoicism only talked about how to cope.

I may be reading your comment incorrectly but when you say “[they] only became popular”, “[they] only talked about [...]” that sounds a bit pejorative. Isn’t it as important to talk about how to cope with a situation than what an ideal society should do? To me they both seem to be things to talk about, one isn’t more important than the other. To be honest I’m not familiar enough to know if that’s something we got from stoicism but that seems to be a great addition to our thinking toolkit.

Most people are law abiding citizens most of the time, so laws are not pointless.

in ##javascript on freenode this comes up so often we have a macro saved to one of our irc bots explaining why forEach, map, etc are better alternatives to reduce in many common situations. by far the most common situation is people reducing arrays into an object when they could be using a simple forEach. The first example in the article is actually this exact thing. It's also awkward considering they mention they're trying to do a "lookup" which makes it sound like they could just do find on the array and be done with it.

> if you see Spring as existing to correct issues with the underlying Java language, then I'm highly skeptical that you've ever had meaningful experience with either one.

Let's please avoid personal attacks if at all possible. Spring started out with the dependency injection framework and "aspect-oriented programming". It was marketed as an alternative to EJB. Web frameworks and other add-ons came later. If you don't see DI and AspectJ as working around Java's weaknesses, then I encourage you to try a more expressive language.

In an expressive language (e.g. Clojure or Haskell), DI and AspectJ could be, for example, replaced by reifying a program as data and using modular interpreters. One interpreter using mock data, another talks to the database, uses transaction boundaries and logs. This sort of solution is unfortunately just not very practical in Java.
The first thing I read in your link seems to be the opposite of what you wrote:
