> I assume your position was rhetorical since you clearly don't think all or even the majority of any meaningfully large political group are wealthy

ALL the people with significant power are wealthy.

I'm not downplaying the importance of the poor voting in elections, but that happens twice a year (primaries and general election) and the choice the poor get is which wealthy person gets the power, or in rarer cases, which policy proposed by wealthy people is enacted. The rest of the year, the wealthy people make all the decisions. Certainly which wealthy person is in power makes a difference, but they're still all wealthy people.

And to be clear, no major party is immune to this. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Ron Paul--no supposed heroes of change are poor or even middle class.

> So this drives people into two groups. People that think that the mistakes of times past are something we've overcome and the predictions of today are now meaningful. The other group tend to think that the past 30 years of predictions will be representative of the next 30 years of predictions.

I'm not in either group. I don't believe we've overcome the mistakes of the past. I don't believe we even know what all of those mistakes are, so we can't possibly have overcome them all. What I do believe is that the only effective mechanism we have of predicting the future is science, and that science is a slow process that often gets things wrong, but slowly gets less wrong as it progresses. An alternate theory which just decides to let markets decide the truth isn't even wrong--it's a stopped clock, which is sometimes right but never useful. Science hasn't been right and it may continue to be wrong, but at least it's trying to find the truth via a proven method. Letting markets decide isn't even trying to find the truth.
(Perceived) Licensing costs and misunderstandings around .NET being open source now. Also, Python is generally-easier to get started with (good for cash-strapped startups; labor is cheaper) and can go really far
1) Because the compiler gives you a clear reference implementation to test against for correctness and performance.

2) Because after you do this enough times, you will learn when to write your own, when not to, and when to spot inefficiencies in the compiler output. The point is to learn, both about how the instructions work and how the compiler works.

3) The C/C++ implementation serves as documentation of intent and is portable across architectures (including future x86-64 architectures). It's fucking atrocious when devs write pure assembly without a C/C++ reference that can replace it. To me, finding random assembly without a code implementation in the project is the ultimate indictment of a hot rod programmer not thinking about the future or future maintainers.
Yeah, I did this myself not long ago as part of a mobile office rig and ... I didn't write about it or share about it becuase it was mostly just putting USB male connectors into USB female connectors and sourcing the right kind of batteries to charge things.

Oh, and learning ethernet cables are a monstrous power draw and you're much better off using wifi for everything.

I mean, yeah it's cool to have. But I can't help but feel like it's a bit trivial.
I found for web development that to google is simply the fastest way to a solution I'm trying to solve immediately. It is all about rushing to fix the next problem in code. Need to do something new? You can enter a few keywords and the solution pops up. For most folks this search then copy/paste is the extent of programming nowadays. The deeper stuff where we all get enjoyment from programming done without google may be a thing of the past.

I SRE'd there for a bit and remember when .NET Core was starting up. I'm glad that the momentum stuck; it's really good!
I connect with this at a spiritual level right now.

We're building some new infrastructure for a service that is also new, using terraform. Which only our devops have used before.

It's an interesting time.

AWS Cognito with app clients and not user pools + AWS API gateway, connecting to a system linked with dynamodb, Kinesis data stream and firehose.

Like each part stand alone is documented okay with specific circumstances. But nothing interlinking at anything past the basic level.

Trial and error is brutal.

To me, the resilience in having that stuff automated is the difference between "an access point" and "a computer that just happens to bridge connections."
Interesting, thanks for sharing. Did this project reach a dead end?
The nature of the Generator is that it is seeded with random inputs and trains so it is able to fool the adversarial classifier. I.e. it never sees the "true" data.
An irony here is that it looks like you are increasingly more likely to get the real book if you go to Libgen rather than Amazon.
I get where you're coming from. But I'm going to offer another perspective. There is a shitload of content being made on the internet, and I believe you too would agree the vast majority of content on the web could be hardly called "knowledge" and are more likely to have a negative effect than good on society. And it's literally all free, they don't get paid for that, it's just what people naturally do, and technological advancements have made it really easy to do.

In such a landscape, how do we incentivize the proliferation of actually useful content and knowledge? It's not so easy as to just putting words out there most of the time is it? The content we consider valuable have significant amounts of time, research, and thought behind them I would assume. Time is a limited resource, and it is often that the people who have the most valuable knowledge to offer have less of it while those who post meaningless crap have the most.
Agreed. Even in Linux, complete documentation for userland tools is usually a given.

Not so with webdev. That said, the source code is there for all of us to read. I'm a frontend developer and spend more time looking at source code when I need to figure out an issue than digging through Medium posts. Particularly when something is behaving in an unexpected manner.

I'd urge everyone who hates webdev to try this approach the next time they struggle with an issue. JavaScript, for all its sins, is fairly easy to read. And once you've understood the ~30 most common gotchas in JS, reading the source is highly beneficial (and here's a good intro to those gotchas, including an accompanying video: https://github.com/denysdovhan/wtfjs)

Or better yet, work in one of the statically-typed compile-to-JS languages such as Typescript, ReasonML, Elm, ScalaJS, or Purescript and worry about those gotchas much less (and only when wrapping external libraries).
I believe they're saying there were a handful of cases where they didn't catch it.
We've been told that the antidote to deep fakes is supply chain security. It's troubling to hear that supply chain security is already broken and by fairly unsophisticated attackers from the sounds of it.
I'm not sure how it's weird.

Lowering costs is solving a massive problem - for consumers and businesses alike. There are few greater problems to be solved for the majority of people, than lowering their cost of living - or cost of operations for a business - while providing the same or better quality of a thing.

That process has been a fundamental requirement for all of human civilization as we've known it the last ~5,000+ years. Without it, most of us are not here. It generates an incredible incremental gain spiral, a compounding of small surpluses that build and unleash bigger things over time.

For a business it frees up capital which can then be put into productivity, R&D, salaries and countless other things. For consumers it can boost savings or enable other purchases and investments that improve life. It enables new demand which will unleash new goods that were not feasible or viable previously.

It's all about generating a surplus that can then be directed toward some additional goal. Better and cheaper is one of the required tenets of mass standard of living progress.
Voting population growth is a thing. It went up by 32% or so.

>> "I've also enjoyed the organic explosion of low carb cooking that has happened online. I have been witness to the community growing from its very beginnings less than a decade ago when it was just some people trying to make weight loss taste good"

This is way older than a decade. I knew people getting into it and sharing recipes on Usenet. The current boom is new, but online low carb communities are ancient in internet terms.

It wasn't very palatable back then, but people sure did try.

I don't quite understand this. Since 2013 React has remained a JS framework and introduced 1 new concept(hooks). iOS programming on the other hand(since 2013) has introduced a new language(Swift) and a new paradigm (Swift UI) for writing interfaces. All to target around 25% of the mobile market.
Because macros are not first class the way functions are. You can't map a macro over a list the way you can a function. Haskell functions give you the power of lisp macros at runtime.

Macros are IMO the main reason to use a LISP.

It's funny that you say that. I've heard it before and it sounds great but from the time I spent in the Clojure community, people would always say "the first rule of macros is that you do not write macros!"
That's like saying, "you can still support the right to abortion in our area, you just can't have one here... so, you see, we are mostly pro-choice."
I think it's an easy line to draw - it just looks difficult because it has been repeatedly stretched to catch one "bad guy" or another.

The example under discussion can be straightforwardly applied to the topic of software exploits. By posting a proof of concept to a mailing list, one knows that previously obscure information will then be in the hands of ne'er do wells. The motivation even includes foreseeing the exploit being used, pressuring the vendor/sysadmins into fixing it. Yet we are all safer when exploits are shared publicly so that they can be patched, rather than kept in obscurity.

Providing general information, even to someone who will use it for abuse, should be protected speech. "Ammonium nitrate plus Diesel" or "Just Google Casio F-91W and thank me later" are definitively in that territory. A weaker standard is begging for selective persecution, just as we see here.
what point are you trying to make? OP's article isn't talking about the incompetence of ECC in making a stock option plan.
I haven't seen anything blaming the residents for wasting water except the reference to metering.

Also I think what constitutes wasting water is context dependent. For instance the amount of wasted food that is a problem is a feast vs a famine is very different.
> So the author has overhyped its creation. So what?

Either: "Someone got excited, took a closer look and wrote a blog post", or "someone got mildly annoyed by the overhyping, tried it out and wrote a blog post about it". It seems to be fairly factual criticism to me, comparing the marketing claims to actual experience.

And especially because getting a language going is such a big project I don't get why you'd state things that aren't there yet - everyone would expect an early version to not have all those things if there weren't claims to the opposite, so being honest about the state of things doesn't really hurt you. To the contrary, it avoids people being disappointed when they want to try something that's claimed as a feature and it isn't there. And some probably consider it unfair towards projects that are less bold in their claims.

I'm not sure what the "harmless" comments are about - the article doesn't mention anything about that (or the income) at all?
> I don't want the federal government involved in "law enforcement," full stop. It's not their job.

That is a broad cut if you just don't agree with ICE. There are tons of federal LEOs that do the jobs states and local governments can't.

The US Marshall Service - Witness protection and relocation to other states. Rounding up fugitives from the federal judicial system.

US Secret Service - which state should protect the US currency and our elected officials?

BLM / National Ranger Service - who protects and enforces laws on lands specifically owned by the federal government?

State Department, Diplomatic Security Service - what about visiting foreign dignitaries?

United States Capitol Police - DC is a sovereign district. Should it be policed by a neighboring state?

USPS Postal Police - investigates crimes committed using the mail service, which often crosses state borders.

DoE/NRE Protective Units - Who should have ultimate control over nuclear warheads in transit? Texas? California?
Consumer desktop apps? Maybe. Enterprise, industry specific and desktop apps for professionals? No.

We scrubbed and stubbed chromium front end code of all sorts of stateful requests to gstatic and other Google domains. We have Mark Pilgrim (11 years on Chrome at Google) working for us along with top people from Igalia. We've little-snitched as well as grepped. Some of the signaling bottoms out in common objects, which make stubbing easy. Anyway, we've nullified all the surveillance.

A note on this WaPo story: I spent an hour with the reporter on the phone on 6/13 and practically wrote whole sentences in the piece. I've been calling Chrome spyware since last year. For some reason the piece ended up excluding not only Brave but Safari, which has deep anti-tracking history. Anyway, the story is getting out, and consciousness does not go backward.

My strategy is to bookmark the sites of the people who have good published cookbooks. You have a much better chance of getting good recipes from someone who knows what they are doing, as you said, but you also get the additional convenience and variation from being able to search online.

In my experience, these sites tend to be less spammy too, but there's certainly variation there too.
There's nothing wrong with referencing documentation, but I do see it reasonable to look down on those who can't program without asking a malicious corporation questions. So, I pride myself on not needing to do this, I suppose.

Of course, I also pride myself on using good tools. My observation of Stack Overflow is that it's an excellent resource if you don't know what you're doing and don't want to learn what you're doing. Unfortunately, that's the only real way to operate some things. The only times I ever really need to use the Internet for such a problem is when it involves some baroque WWW nonsense some idiot caused however many years ago that's still echoing today or it involves some baroque UNIX nonsense some idiot caused however many years ago that's still echoing today.

If you use good languages and good tools, with real standards, (Common Lisp is an example.) you'll find yourself seemingly magically free from all of this stupid and pointless drudgery. Consider giving it a try some time. Imagine not needing to rewrite code constantly because something updated or some external ''API'' changed or other nonsense.

As a closing aside, it's laughable that people are pointing to man pages as examples of good documentation. GNU Info isn't perfect, but it's leagues better than man pages will ever be, if only because it's segmented and hypertextual.

> Google is massively scraping the web and is building products on top of the data, e.g. flight/hotel search. Why shouldn't we be allowed to do the same?

The short answer is because they have the muscle and you don't.

This was litigated in Perfect 10 v. Amazon, and the only way out was for the panel deciding the case was to claim Google's use is "fair" due to its unprecedented and "transformative" nature, which basically should be read as "we don't want to face the public scorn of being the judges responsible for shutting down Google Images". Such advantage is unlikely to be a factor in less-prominent cases.

Even if you believe you can convince a panel of judges that your project specifically meets the four-prong test for fair use, it takes millions of dollars to litigate a case that far, which is well outside the realm of possibility for most independent projects.

Flight and hotel search is a good example. Why can't you find Southwest fares on any aggregator? People try to scrape them all the time, and as soon as they come to Southwest's attention, they get C&D'd and shut down. This is a common and well-established practice and hundreds of companies die by it every year.

If you have all these great examples, why aren't they on the marketing page instead, and future plans clearly on a roadmap or whatever? They're pretty cool achievements! And something I can now go look at is way more interesting than something thats "coming soon". Good luck with your project, I hope this drama doesn't overshadow it too much long-term (but you're probably better off if you work on your messaging to avoid this topic getting back up over and over)
