There's an implied freedom of political speech. The rest can be regulated by law. By the way the way Americans view the constitution as some sort of divinely bestowed natural law document is highly unusual. For example the Australian constitution is literally an act of Parliament.
I think so, but I never really measured the actual amounts I eat, and what, in both cases. It also heavily depends on what you're doing when sitting still: using your brain actively for work for instance is going to require quite some energy in comparison with just sitting still and relaxing. AFAIK the brain's main energy source is sugar so my (completely unverified - it's hard these days to find the truth amongst the insane amount of dietary bs out there) assumption is that physical exertion needs / can use different metabolic pathways not requiring instant sugar intake.

Something related happens to me as well, during light physical exertion: even when I get hungry, I can just keep on going and after like 30 minutes I don't feel the hunger anymore, and can keep on going for a couple of hours more. That just doesn't work for me when programming/debugging: then I keep on being hungry and after a while just cannot think properly anymore (could be placebo/confirmation bias, unsure.)
I use VB.net on existing projects. I use VBA to create applications in Microsoft Office.

As for how people react, most are well informed enough to understand the reasons.

I actually enjoy the process of writing VBA because the REPL is so much better than, for instance, C# in Visual Studio.

Is this article satire? (some quotes)

> They do not need to be micro- or even macro-level managed

> Developers with nothing to do become disruptive or lazy.

> With all this advice and help, I can easily determine what work needs to be done first, what next, what can remain on-hold, and can assign work to the team.

> Once the Statement of Work is completed (and reviewed, filed and approved by me), the person starts executing the tasks and we move into a work and review phase.

If this isn’t micro management, what is? Where is the team empowered to improve their process? Where is tech debt addressed? Is estimation really so easy? Ever heard of pair programming?

Note to myself: never work for that person.
Haskell without lens, text, vector, etc... is a bit like rust with only core not std.

The haskell standard library is tiny. Libraries like lens are not optional. In practice you won't understand any open source Haskell without rudimentary understanding of lens. I get why parser libraries were banned, but excluding lens, vector, and text?

I like Rust a lot, but haskell minus it's more advanced type system is just Rust plus GC. Lets not pretend this is a fair comparison of languages when it's primarily a comparison of standard libraries.
When I went to college in Kirksville, MO - my friends and I were endlessly entertained to see local newspaper report stuff like "Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Freese visited Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Hanover after church on Sunday." There was an entire page of this stuff.

It's good for people with content that doesn't align with the values of employees of major platforms e.g right wing publishers, the porn publishers of Tumblr etc. Such people are always at risk of deplatforming and it's nice for their content to be spread out all over the web to prevent that risk.

This is so great! Thank you. Just a little confused by the real time counter being set a month in advance.
I'm actually curious what you're doing that causes this. Basically all my figures are \begin{figure}[ht] and everything works out fine. Yeah sizing can sometimes be odd but I save it for the end (I use \includegraphics[width=0.x\textwidth] and adjust x. I get it in 2 or 3 attempts). I only invoke graphicx. I use \FloatBarrier frequently but that's trivial. I use jpg, jpeg, png, and pdf images almost exclusively (wish gif worked and wished mp4 would save into the pdf). I do also invoke tikz and pgfplots when I'm making vectorized plots and graphs (I know this is "advanced"), but I'm not writing tikz pictures in most documents. I do all my homework, papers, presentations, etc (PhD student) in LaTex. Been using it for almost a decade now and I've only faced placement problems when I was just starting and didn't know about [ht] (or [h!]).

I'm not sure what you find difficult about margins. You define them in document class. It is literally top, bottom, left, right, or height, width. Or you use the template that a publication is giving you. Are you doing something more complicated? If so, I can't imagine this is common.

Headers and footers? I never use headers. But I use footnotes (\footnote{this is all you need}).

Honestly I'm curious what issues you face. I'd gladly lend a hand (LaTeX is far from trivial) and I'd like to learn from others. But I'm honestly confused at the complaints. There's plenty of things to complain about LaTeX, but these aren't the challenges I face.

I guess a virtual machine with Windows 2000 and with VB6 is still smaller than the modern programming environments.

This is the kind of attitude that makes breaches viable.

If they have leaked lower level plans, that leak is not necessarily useful in itself, but as you point out that does give knowledge about where to embed backdoors. It is not unusual for damage to come when an adversary manages to combine to things that individually are less protected because people fail to see the risk in an individual breach.

As for figuring out the design without it, even as an amateur there are lots of things that I can often infer from looking at a bare board. E.g seeing where power is fed in and which pins likely lead to ground. Seeing where groups of traces follow, which tends to often imply data or address lines. Seeing how chips are grouped and the like - humans lays things out 'logically' even it's not necessary. I have opened enough electronics to know you rarely need to be able to read the text on the chips to know which is a CPU and which is RAM for example.

And hitting something with EMI tests solves for the amateurs who don't know how to do the same testing themselves. It is no guarantee against a state actor prepared to do lots of their own testing to ensure they've mitigated the effects of the changes they've made until certain conditions are met for any circuitry they've hidden.

The dumb thing would be to assume that we're smart enough that a dedicated adversary with access to some of the most sophisticated electronics manufacturing on the planet can't find a way to fool us.

The biggest flawed assumption you make is echoed in the article too: the assumption it is a bare board. It is meant to be a bare board. It is meant to be just copper traces. Good luck verifying there's nothing else sandwiched between layers, obscured on screening by copper on other layers.

Yes, we don't normally do that, but not because it's impossible, but because it's pointlessly complex when we don't need things to be hidden.

The number of security holes that are the result of assuming something can't be done instead of ensuring nobody gets the chance to try is quite substantial.
This comment looks like it got voted down, probably because the tone sounds a little patronising to what it characterises as the American view. But nothing it says is to my knowledge inaccurate or even a twisting of facts.

The constitution of America is explicitly stated to be a statement of natural law.

This view is highly unusual.

The Australian constitution IS literally an act of parliament to my understanding.

Freedom of speech IS only intimated by the courts and is not explicitly stated in any part of the Australian constitution.
America already has robots that kill civilians including women and children all the time (drone program), but that doesn't seem to bother most Americans. I don't see why robots like these, killing children in the middle east (/south america in the future) will be any different.
Yes, but it's still a great pity, as Haskell, a descendent of ML (the "meta-language") is a suberb fit for writing a compiler.

I believe the breakdown is where private vs public vs "only my friends"

If you were chatting with your friends at dinner in your home, there's no reason you'd assume that was public. Most people mistake Facebook for that when it's closer to chatting with your friends in a crowded subway car.

In the real world, we'd see the difference, understand the difference, and likely decide certain topics out of bounds.

Facebook's entire business is getting people to open up to advertise to them better so it's their best interest to make us think it's the dinner scenario.
From the article:

>Two administration officials said they believed Mr. Trump had not been briefed in any detail about the steps to place “implants” — software code that can be used for surveillance or attack — inside the Russian grid.

>Pentagon and intelligence officials described broad hesitation to go into detail with Mr. Trump about operations against Russia for concern over his reaction — and the possibility that he might countermand it or discuss it with foreign officials, as he did in 2017 when he mentioned a sensitive operation in Syria to the Russian foreign minister.
I would have finnished that document Sir, but then i had to refactor the documents codebase to improve the architecture. Yes, i know i turned a documentation job into a software project, which promptly consumed three times the time budget - yes i will show myself out.

Because brain and other body tissues normally have internal pressure of 1 atmosphere, so if you put it into vacuum, it will explode and blood and other liquids will boil.
If you don't mind the sharing part, don't be embarrased about the quality of your source code. Quality will come from getting lots of eyes on it.

I actually lot ucc in the not so great categories. Counters like scc and Tokei are getting close to having the same accuracy as a compiler when it comes to code while being much faster.

They are also support for more languages and are updated way more often. Very much second generation tools that learnt from the first.

I wrote my first complete computer program on a Vic 20 in Commodore BASIC 2, in 1986. My first paid program in 1990, using Thoroughbred BASIC on a PC. Since then I've programmed (or scripted) in Assembler, BASIC, C, C#, C++, COBOL, F#, HTML, Java, JavaScript, LOGO, Pascal, SQL, VBA and XAML. I don't mind C#. Or Java. I stopped programming for my income around 2005 when I moved into architecture and then went the CTO route. Did take on another programming contract in 2011 though, because it was Nokia. Still write a lot of my own code though, and now exclusively in VB.NET because

- VB.NET supports both static and dynamic typing.

- VB.NET is a functional language, supporting local type inference, anonymous functions, monads, and language integrated comonads.

- VB.NET does project-wide namespace imports. C# doesn't.

- I like creating native client apps, and dislike the constraints and fragility of web apps.

- I've always found the Java developer environment to be brittle in comparison.

There are also a metric ton of readability issues in JS, Java and C# that VB.NET doesn't have (braces, == and =, ! instead of Not, separate keywords for inheritance and interface implementation, and so on). I also concede that I learnt Pascal before learning C (and prefer Pascal to C). The fact that Pascal and VB.NET share syntactical similarities (type declarations follow variable and function names, the Not keyword is probably not an insignificant factor.

And to be fair none of the above matter – the rationale came long after the fact that I use BASIC simply because I like BASIC.

The amount of disapproval, verbal abuse, ridicule and actual anger I've received for this over the years (and to this day) is insane. But you learn to deal with it.

PS. Did you know that the first prototype of Nokia Maps for Windows Phone was written in VB.NET? Nokia didn't know either, because they had like zero Windows Phone skills at the time.
Sounds more like, "We hid this from the president because he's _at best_ an unwitting intelligence asset to a hostile foreign power."
Most SaaS that is intelligently priced is value-based, even if the price is public. What you mean is that you want to do price discrimination. That's possible but somewhat risky as people will ask for references, and references will sometimes disclose how much they pay, etc. So no, overall the OP has the main reasons right.
I also find it easier to read on physical paper. Honestly I read faster when things are two column (speed readers will tell you why)
> Then what have mainlanders done for Hong Kong?

Nothing good, and it will continue to be this way.

And it's NOT out of despision, no, it's simply because it's impossible to do it safely in China. The political climate here is so toxic and dangerous, it is unethical to even think to put people on street.

But, one thing HongKongers must understand is, your future is linked with mainlanders, for better or worse. We may not see each other eye to eye on other many topics, but this, this is the problem we both facing.

Also, many mainlanders is actually quite supportive about some protests. Simply search Twitter with the right keyword you can find many https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=%E6%9...
Being a teacher myself, I understand this policy. Too bad, though, I'd have dearly loved to read the python implementation to rewrite it in Clojure. I think the language could allow for something at least as concise be maybe cleaner.
Throwback to Madam Secretary.

On a more serious note, does the US have red teams which try pen test our own power grid and other critical infrastructure? I don't believe I've ever heard of it, but I would have to assume at least one three letter agency does it right? (I hope)
I mean they also publish in favor of 'human biodiversity' and then get lauded as a bastion of intellectual discussion by a large amount of people.
I also was surprised at the magnitude of the difference and am not sure the extra lines are worth it given the strong association between number of lines and number of defects.

Having said that, the largest point I took away was that the difference between languages was smaller than the difference between programmers and approaches.
What could possibly go wrong if those microbes inevitably get into the wild? This should recreate the situation with cellulose. At first, trees didn't decompose but nowadays, you have to prepare wood if you want to use it long-term.

Plastic is used because it doesn't decompose. What good would plastics be if they wouldn't be stable anymore?
When thinking about extending and refactoring, you also need to keep in mind that static types add a whole layer which is pretty hard to change. There are advantages and disadvantages, having at static types isn't such a silver bullet.
That sounds like a slogan, not something founded in reason.

No country has freedom of speech; it is heavily regulated... everywhere. The world hasn't collapsed yet.

How it's regulated probably matters; granted! But let's not get too apocalyptic about the issue. Not every regulation will turn everyone into mindless drones overnight.

And for the flipside: speech is only worth protecting because it's powerful; it's influential. You can insert the cheesy line about power and responsibility yourself...

It's a natural and good use of regulation to turn consequences for others into consequences (both good and bad!) for the person triggering them. Communication is not, and should not be, an exception.
Interesting to note how the man clamouring for a better hotel uses size as a proxy for quality: paraphrasing slightly, "if only we had a massive hotel, more rich people would come and feel at ease!".

It would be almost misleading not to mention that the implied freedom of political communication is very limited and doesn't have even close to the depth and breadth of jurisprudence that 1st Amendment arguments have in the US.

The argument at its most extreme that various unauthorised disclosure criminal provisions could be invalid for IFPC reasons is outlined here:

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0067205X1804600... (Or as a blog post if you don't have access:
https://auspublaw.org/2016/04/public-sector-whistleblowing/)

But it's shaky at best. Who is to say that the nature of Special Intelligence Operations and the restrictions on their existence don't justify having no public interest exceptions to disclosures about them, for example? The paper makes this point accidentally (via a Wotton v Queensland analogy, at 362). I just don't see the current applications as being strong enough, especially where the legitimate object of the legislation is national security.
I embedded VBSScript in one of my applications so get to use that occasionally. Not for much longer though as I’m encouraging my customers to switch to PowerShell.

Canadian flavour of this, from the late 90s was that

1. SkyTrain (driverless monorail) in Vancouver ran under OS/2

2. All street lights in Toronto were managed by a single 486 box running QNX

Not sure how true #2 was, but Skytrain had an OS/2 position open for a while, so it was a part of their setup for sure.

Software tools to help with scientific discovery / hypothesis generation. I'm thinking specifically about Literature Based Discovery[1] (LBD), but there are probably other useful approaches in that domain.

I have a little project[2] related to LBD, which I'm working on here and there. There's still a long way to go, but I'm optimistic there's something to be accomplished in this space that could help.

And then you've got things like Robot Scientist[3] which is crazy interesting.
