By writing regexs by hand, you can accidentally introduce an obviously backtracking pattern such as * .=. *. By programmatically composing them, a program can analyze each regex group to find simple problems, and then combine them in ways that will avoid backtracking.

This isn't even why you should compose them programmatically, though. Perl allows you to compose a regex with in-line comments (https://perldoc.perl.org/perlfaq6.html#How-can-I-hope-to-use...), but it's still a hand-crafted regex, which is error-prone, much like composing code by hand. If you can get a machine to generate it for you, you avoid unintentional human-introduced bugs, as well as make it easier to read and reason about.

If you have a ton of regex's, or they are super important to your business, you should consider not editing them by hand. There's only so much test cases can do to prevent bugs.

That's also 3,000 more years to figure out how to make a useful fusion reactor, or to figure out how to smoosh neutrons and protons and electrons together to turn uranium into a renewable resource, or to figure out how to blow up stars and harvest fissile material that way.

3,000 years is a long time at our current rate of scientific discovery.
The interface looks pretty interesting!

I think adding a way to select multiple universe nodes and say “I expect all these universes to converge on the value 66” and then serialize that expectation into a runtime verification which either runs during program execution or runs during program execution when in a concurrency sanitize mode would be pretty cool!

> Nobody says car buyers of the future have to buy an EV.

With increasingly stringnent emissions controls, it is only a matter of time until ICEs will not be manufactured.

> From a technical perspective, nothing about EV design forbids tight suspension, responsive steering, and quick acceleration/braking.

Braking, yes. The absolutely absurd weight of EV batteries makes it hard to match braking performance of the inherently lighter ICE platform. A Tesla Model S is almost 5k lbs! That's 500 lbs more than the fat boat we call a Dodge Challenger! Compare that to a porsche 718/911.

> electronic control is likely to permit quicker response times all around.

Throttle-by-wire is already present in many ICE vehicles and does just that already. My KTM 790 duke has it, and various throttle mappings. There is little to want in quick response times in performance ICE vehicles.

> The only thing that an EV cannot deliver is the noise of an open pipe

That and shifting. Which is the whole point. People like me sometimes buy cars specifically for the soundtrack. a BMW M4 is faster than a Ford Shelby GT350 R. But the GT350R sounds worlds better, and for that reason alone, I'd buy it over the M4.

That is the crux of the issue. We want noise, and lots of it; we want shifting; and FFS, we want the ability to work on our vehicles: Something you can't really do with an EV.

What if your DHCP doesn't give you a private IP address? When I was at the University of Michigan, my personal laptop always received a public IP address.

How much do you leverage the REPL when you're developing? In my experience with "old Python" (I've yet to update my resume with new Python) I developed in an incremental manner making heavy use of the REPL, I never had the pains I do in static languages without a REPL story. Your comment to me reads like "Nowadays with modern tooling [that lets me develop Python like Java developers develop Java], it's terrific." My day job is Java with a powerful IDE that is crucial for my productivity, but this is because I'm trapped in the "write a comet mass of code interacting with a solar mass of other code and lean on the compiler and IDE tools in addition to my reason to tell me it has a chance of working" way of developing rather than sending small chunks of code to a REPL, testing immediately, and building things up. If I had to (or only knew how to) develop old Python in the Java way I'd probably go mad too. TDD can almost sometimes substitute for a REPL in JavaLand, but it has its own flaws... (And yes modern Java now has something like a REPL, my work environment unfortunately hasn't updated to support it. Soon.)

Every one of those are solved by CSP/X-Frame-Options headers, CORS headers with content-type (non-normal form content-types) checks and proper handling of HTTP Methods. DNS rebinding is solved by https, and if you are doing something sensitive over a network (even a local one) I'm going to assume https is the proper way.

We have ways of handling these things, they just require a bit of reading/implementation and are unfortunately non-default.

If we believe climate change is a catastrophic disaster for humans now and near future, we should do everything to protect ourselves.

There is a false dichotomy of renewables vs nuclear. Pursuing these options are not mutually exclusive. Only in so far that we want to devote limited resources to the problem.

The real solution is that we should pursue both. Nuclear so we have a back stop to the problem. Renewables so that we have hope for the best case clean and safe energy future.

It is foolish to believe the projections on renewables will absolutely happen. There are a lot of problems that can happen with technology at scale. Nuclear is a surefire bet, with risks being nuclear meltdowns and improper waste management.

How would this help at all? You could just have your domain return LAN various LAN ips for different domains... there are already a ton of domains that return 127.0.0.1 for you. It would be trivial to make your own to do every possible IP.... something like 127.0.0.1.myfakedomain.com, where it dynamically extracts the IP and returns it.

I completely disagree as a person who suffered involuntary treatment for 2 months and was drugged against my will for a psychological disease I didn't suffer. I'm a transgender woman that was going to university getting bullied constantly. One day it turned into an incident where the bullies fabricated a story to campus police and where my account of the situation wasn't listened to. Anyhow, I ended up with a psychiatrist that didn't ever treat gender dysphoria but believed it just has to be schizophrenia. They billed my insurance provider $58k USD. Needless to say, I also don't pass as a woman because of the religious abuse in that community and with unaccepting parents. I've never been able to save 58k to pay for surgeries unrighteously classified as cosmetic towards the illness gender dysphoria. Anyway, I tried to find legal representation for the wrongs and nobody in any civil rights institution for victims would help.
Well, if I still worked on Hyperscan, this would be my "what am I, a potted plant?" moment. I think Cloudflare is pretty determined to avoid x86-only implementations of anything, though.

Breaking Down the BBC’s Visit to Hotan, Xinjiang
There are legitimate reasons why other developers might want to access stuff on their LANs.
There are two issues with this, and they both go to the heart of why developing these services is so difficult:

1) Seattle residents have chosen to tax ourselves to pay for social services. By and large, a taxing jurisdiction can't put services outside its jurisdiction, so Seattle can't levy a tax and then use it to buy space in Renton. Yet, Seattle is more or less the only jurisdiction in King County willing to tax ourselves to pay for these services. The Eastside for damn sure isn't, at least not for services to people who aren't sympathetic groups, and would rather simply arrest people for vagrancy and haul them off to the King County jail (which is, per state law, in the county seat, thus Seattle) and then conveniently be somewhere else when the person bonds out of jail and walks onto Seattle's streets.

Arguably the South King cities don't have the tax base to help shoulder the load, Renton being one of the few that does, but that then gets into people not being willing to vote for those taxes because, frankly, they don't want to. So you have a situation where only Seattle is spending the lion's share of the money but Seattle can't spend it outside of Seattle, land is expensive virtually everywhere in Seattle, and King County's government has shown precious little impulse to try to handle the problem at the county level. To say nothing of Washington State's almost-total abdication of responsibility.

And then,

2) People get incredibly vocal about homeless shelters and other services for them. Just try putting a new shelter in Wallingford. Hell, just try putting one in Bellevue's Eastgate, like they've been trying to do for a decade. The lawsuits alone are just now starting to wrap up and the vocal minority, realizing they've run out of court-based options, are running candidates who sit on a platform of "yes it is needed but not here" and have no answer for "but where?" because that's not the point.

I'm sure the good people of Renton would be vocally opposed to your idea to "export Seattle's homeless problem" to Renton. Thus, the only areas that wind up with shelters and other public services are the ones who either lack political clout--like Pioneer Square and the ID--or are where those services have always been...like Pioneer Square and the ID.
Yes but keep in mind that this data is immediately and heavily compressed and encoded - the data sent into the brain from the retinal ganglion cells has been estimated to be on the order of 10s Mbit/sec from careful studies on rodent RGN statistics. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2006.05.056
I know a schizophrenic woman who was committed to involuntary psychiatric hold in California in just about every decade from the 1960s through 1990s, each time she had psychotic breaks. These would be some number of weeks before transitioning to periodic out-patient care.

To my knowledge, she was never really aggressive, violent, nor into self-harm. She was only a risk to herself or her children due to impaired decision making. Her encounters with law enforcement would be things like running a red light while in a delusional panic or because she called to report imaginary prowlers. I think her family and doctor were instrumental in getting her committed when she resisted treatment and her condition regressed. It's possible that her first encounters in the 1960s happened when the system was more willing to declare someone unfit, and then her existing history made it easier to repeat the process in later decades. It takes someone to track and pursue, rather than just expecting some random public servant to recognize the need based on one transient encounter with the case.

But, it was also her family that kept her going outside the brief psychiatric holds. This supportive environment is what seems to be most lacking in modern society, but also is the least feasible for the state itself to provide. I don't see how you can expect much better than the kind of institutional living that has been dismantled. How many patients have to share one doctor, nurse, or orderly?

And, from what I know of this woman, even her successful case took a huge toll on those family members who provided ongoing support. Where can the state find caregivers to provide similar effort for all the less fortunate patients who do not have the supporting family or friends?
This isn't a local network issue though, this is a cross origin issue that Browsers definitely need to patch.

I'm absolutely not denying that RE2 is great. Not in the slightest. I even agree with their idea to switch towards it or the Rust one.

Changing anything brings an element of risk, and changing quickly to it, even more so, which is essentially what they're proposing doing. That's where my concern lies.

Their current approach clearly has issues, but it has been running in production for several years now and those issues are fully understood, engineers know how to debug them, and there's a lot of institutional knowledge around covering them. They've put a series of protective measures in place following the incident that takes out one of the more significant risks. That gives them breathing space to evaluate and verify their options, carry out smaller scale experiments, train up engineers across the company around any relevant changes etc. There is no reason to go _fast_
Something I posted earlier about spinal cords and high fidelity music:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18750902

Speaking of spines and copyright issues:

In K W Jeter's excellent dark cyberpunk novel "Noir", intellectual property theft is viewed as literally killing people by removing their livelihood, so copyright violators were punished by having their still-living spinal cords stripped out and made into high quality speaker cords in which their consciousness is preserved, usually presented to the copyright owner as a trophy.

"In the cables lacing up Alex Turbiner's stereo system, there was actual human cerebral tissue, the essential parts of the larcenous brains of those who'd thought it would be either fun or profitable to rip off an old, forgotten scribbler like him."

>There’s a lot to like in the novel.

>My favorite section is the middle section where the origin of the asp-heads is detailed via McNihil’s pursuit of a small time book pirate and the preparation of the resulting trophy. The information economy did, in this future, largely come to place. As a result, intellectual property theft is viewed as literally killing people by removing their livelihood. Therefore, death is a fitting punishment. McNihil, in his point by point review of the origin of asp-heads, notes that even in the 20th Century there was the phrase: “There’s a hardware solution to intellectual property theft. It’s called a .357 magnum.”

>Actually it’s decided that death is too good and too quick for pirates.

>Their consciousness is preserved by having their neural network incorporated in various devices. (Turbiner likes to use stripped down spinal cords for speaker wire.)

>This sounds like a cyberpunk notion but, in other parts of the novel, Jeter takes a swipe at such hacker/information economy/internet cliches as information wanting to be free (McNihil destroys a nest of such net hippies) or the future economy being based on information. Villain Harrisch sneers at the notion stating that information can be distorted but atoms – and the wealth they represent – endure.

>Still, his novel is chock full of the high-tech, low-life that characterizes cyberpunk.

(I'd quote some more, but as a high-tech, low-life net hippie, I'm afraid of having my nest destroyed and getting my spine ripped out!)
Not bad? It’s _worse_. They’re not depreciating servers here that they got use out of, they’re depreciating scooters that are broken, stolen, missing, or otherwise falling apart. Considering this is their fundamental business, it’s pretty bad.
> I like to think we did a pretty good job at hiding the tiles

I agree, this is a good job and cool to see in a game! There are some ShaderToy shaders that employ this technique, but I haven’t really seen it in a tiled game before or on authored content, and the effect really works nicely.

> near artificial structures (such as the ruined walls below) you want the edges to be straighter

The local control is very cool. If the devs are here, did you have to do anything to prevent randomized voronoi bushes from poking through straight walls?
Interesting, do you have a source for that? I'd love to read it. I'm interested because my experience with that differs strongly (though it's with shrooms, not LSD): while tripping on low doses I was a god* at guitar hero, significantly better than I was at playing sober, the same was true for another friend of mine as well.

Maybe the task being rhythm-related offsets the increased delay.

*sober I mastered Hard but had some trouble on the harder songs on expert, under the influence was the first time I managed to do several of them in expert.
In my experience it’s generally best to roll out changes on testing, staging, and then clients in order of how much they pay, especially if you have SLAs with the highest paying customers.

Impact is generally lower, both to the client, and to your bank account.

Good news! That figure probably grossly underestimates how much uranium can be extracted. Indeed, I'd interpret that 200 figure as 1,000-2,000 years worth of supply.

If nothing else, people havn't seriously looked. For example, in Australia, the state of NSW "proclaimed on 14 September 2012 ... [the removal of] the ban on uranium exploration" [0]. Australia has worlds most extensive uranium resources in the world, although not in the state of NSW for obvious reasons. Possibly we can extend our lead.

But practically, the 'resources' definition that that article is relying on (going purely off the Australian legal framework) likely involves investment on the part of companies to be able to advertise. We've a lead-silver mine in Australia that have '20 years of resources' on the books over 80 year periods, because every time they need a mine extension they go out and 'discover' a bit more of the resource that everyone knows is there but havn't officially measured yet. The current 20 years of resource is a polite lie as well, they've got lots more.

So basically the solution to violent homeless people is to fix the parenting of people who will likely(?) produce homeless people in the future...by some gov policy which will improve their parenting and childhood by providing them with more services?

A whole lot of parents could potentially fit into that category and only a few will have kids that both end up visibly homeless and violent. So that basically means improving services for low income people and other situations where a higher risk of mental issues can arise outside of lack of resources (plenty of homeless people come from middle class families due to things like domestic violence or mental illness by one of the parents or simply hereditary).

Then you'd still need a way to deal with the 5-6 generations of homeless people who are currently in adulthood as well which seems to be the pressing issue in Seattle. It's possible both could be correct.

> In particular, during the Age of Mass Migration, it was very common for the oldest son who was to inherit the land because of primogeniture to stay home and for his landless young brothers to go try their luck in the New World.

So, if you belonged to a class where any one of your father's sons was inheriting anything, then you were part of the upper class. The eldest son of peasants could expect the same as his brothers -- an inability to form an estate, acquire meaningful wealth (in the form of capital), and a life of grueling servitude.

It is ludicrous to suggest that it is harder today for the poor to migrate than before. It is much much easier.
