How do The Federalist Papers fit into it? [0]

Given that most states and the US Federal system use the Common Law method of judicial determination, The Federalist Papers act as an important method of interpretation of the intent of the original lawmakers.

Are they 'comments' on the law then?

What about the The Anti-Federalist Papers? [1] Though less well known, they are still very important to determination of the Constitution in our current government.

Also, pull requests? Though not every tiny little court case and high school essay that relies on the 1st Amendment needs to be recorded, it would be great to see what the various supreme court justices have pulled and when.

To be clear: I love this project and this idea! Super great job to the creators! You all rock!

> Is there some hidden reason that companies like this insist on staying in the same area despite the many potential advantages of looking elsewhere?

the long term root is that there is a huge productivity advantage to clusters of workers. (or, at least many people believe so) Around here, if you strike up a random conversation in public, it's very likely you will do so with someone who does something relevant to what you do, and this is good for getting new ideas and really good for getting new contacts. Right now? there's a huge concentration of programming know-how in silicon valley and san francisco, and building that sort of cluster somewhere else would be really difficult. (I think Los Angeles has a similar situation, only with the movie industry.)

I literally found someone to buy my company at a (non-industry) party. (I mean, I did a bad job of it, I was drinking too much and complaining loudly about how much it sucks to run a company and how I had fucked up like three really good chances to sell the thing and generally being a downer, which is rude, I think, at a party, but also not how you maximize the value of the company you sell. Still, I got an impactful amount of money, and more importantly, I got someone else to run the damn thing so I could go get a job that paid without dumping my existing customers.) I've solved technical problems in similar sorts of ways; it's completely normal to go hang out with friends and actually solve problems over drinks or pizza or whatever. (which yes, is a culture some people hate, and I totally understand that, but some of us like it, and like it or not, it's certainly effective.)

Another bigger microeconomic factor that people who don't live here don't understand is that California laws and cultural norms are set up to privilege people who have been here longer. If you bought a place here in '08? Silicon valley isn't very expensive at all; our property taxes are largely fixed based on what we paid for the place when we bought it. This is kinda true (but to a much lessor extent) for rents; I know a lot of people paying under 2/3rds what they'd pay in rent if they moved in today, even without rent control. with rent control, paying under 1/3rd what they'd pay if they moved in today is not uncommon. This means that the sticker shock you get from the outside looking in isn't actually what most of the people who have lived here long term are paying.

Oh I agree with all that. I don't live in SV/SF myself and have no real interest in doing so. But so many people have the attitude that you can't have a tech career if you don't live in SV that it would probably be difficult for an existing company to move out of the area without losing a lot of people (or at least letting them work remote).
More and more website rely on CDN. Which mean, more and more website share the same IP. This is how CloudFlare works. They proxy the full traffic through their server to your server.

If you can't have the host/DNS request, you won't be able to know what website is visited.

Hey! One of my best friends died in a motorcycle accident -- he was a developer as well (got me in the field!).

After his passing, no one knew how to get on his server and/or his domain registrar's account so as a result, someone else snatched up his personal site as soon as it expired, and pretended to be him for several years.

I really love hearing about projects like yours cause I'd definitely want to avoid stuff like that!

In a normal company, if an employee have bad practice for data protection and cyber security he might get fired

But what happen when it's a congressman?

We start to see now more and more data breaches that happens due to lack of basic knowledge in this subject....

Just 3 days ago was reveal that Equifax used 'admin' as username and password for sensitive data. ( https://finance.yahoo.com/news/equifax-password-username-adm...? )

In this case I'm sure that the IT person who's in charge for the system just give zero value to data protection and cyber security....

>According to an industry report by Shred-it, 47% of business leaders cited human error as the main cause of a data breach at their organization

Over the medium term (years to decades), there is no question that rewriting in a safe language is worth the cost. It's a one-time project, and security issues cost our economy billions on an ongoing basis.

Rust isn't perfect, and perfect automatically-checked safety probably isn't possible, but it's dramatically safer than C/C++, and cuts down the amount that would need to manually audited to the point where it would be feasible to do it comprehensively.
The real question is the kind of liability you take on when running a tor node on a machine that "belongs" to you (for some definition of belong).

Another is to find a place that will agree to power your machine and allow it to hook in to the ethernet if it runs a tor node.

At any rate, running a tor node isn't as simple as running apt-get.
But what happens when your credit cards are cancelled after you die? That's a Catch-22 right there.
I see a lot of comments joking about rats driving Tesla's and maybe Uber could use them, obviously not but are there any real world application where this could possible be useful? The one I came up with was rats in a crop driving little solar powered 4x4 machines around pulling out weeds. Any other thoughts on how these could realistically be used?
Doesn't seem like a very good fix when shootings keep happening.
a rat would sit on the aluminium plate and touch the copper wire. The circuit was then complete

I do wonder if they had a control group with just this electrocution step, otherwise I don't see how they can relate any of the results to the driving.

I often see both sides of a debate complaining about the bias of the BBC. So long as that is the case then we can reasonably assume they are doing a fair job of walking the fine line between both sides

This is absolutely not true, because unscrupulous parties are careful to complain vociferously (and shamelessly) even about coverage that is heavily skewed in their own favour.

Since the Andrew Gilligan debacle (where the BBC sacked a reporter and apologised profusely over the self-evident truth he had reported: that Tony Blair lied about Iraqi WMD), the BBC has gradually transformed itself from a public broadcaster to a state broadcaster. The only time you hear a reasonable balance of views on an issue these days is where the governing party itself is split on it.

Worth noting that the ability to indulge practically any idle curiosity ("who was that guy in that one movie again?") with almost no effort is very new. Unless you happened to have the relevant book of trivia, or maybe a good encyclopedia for some things, and you were at home or otherwise somewhere those were physically located, you couldn't find out without quite a bit of effort. That kind of stuff just dropped out of one's mind almost as quickly as it came up. You might ask the people around you, and if they couldn't remember, oh well, off it goes.

If you wanted to know something, you had to work at it or premeditate and spend time and/or money to be ready to find out information in a certain category (having the right books, mostly).

Your brain didn't nag and insist that you go find it out right now, generally, for every little question of near-zero importance that happened to cross your mind. That's a curse of the Internet age.

> Another way to do it is with phosphor coatings on the LED that absorb light of one wavelength and emit it at another wavelength. Lights known as phosphor-converted amber (PCA) shift all the light out of the blue and into the yellow part of the spectrum at the cost of some efficiency.

Is this essentially an LED filament bulb? I've replaced all lights in my house now with LED filaments because they look more natural and are omnidirectional.
From their related blog post: “In order to service the needs of GitLab.com and GitLab Self-Managed users who do not want to be tracked, both GitLab.com and GitLab Self-Managed will honor the Do Not Track (DNT) mechanism in web browsers. This means that, if you turn on Do Not Track in your browser, GitLab will not load the JavaScript snippet.”
I've thought about this. Not a final decision per se (and I haven't coded anything for the scenario) but I imagine I'd maybe have the third party accessing the data pay (up to a cap) to reconcile the account to make it "current" before giving them access - something like that.

It avoids folks signing up, canceling the card and then riding for free.

My understanding is that they have ways of discovering when something breaks beyond the user having to file a report. But I agree that Apple is terrible when it comes to communicating back to people about what they file. It doesn't happen. (They've also been bad at this for as long as I've been paying attention to these things. I don't think they're worse than they already were in the last year.)
Ok so GitLab (who I’ve been rooting for for years) is evil now. Add to blacklist of organizations that prioritize money over respect for users. Got it.

Really appreciate your post! I'm a dad who also takes an active role in raising and nurturing his kids. I agree with your point at the end about responsibility, but another way of looking at the author's reframing of "parenting" as "childing" is that the parent is also on the receiving end of the experience. As a parent I've found I've learned a tremendous amount of patience, humility, perspective, perseverance, and self-awareness from the role, so I found a lot of truth in that idea.

well technically FMA doesn't necessarily imply vectorization; it depends on whether the P{S,D} vs the S{S,D} suffixed instructions were being used, but if you saw the (P)arallel variants, then yes, it was vectorized.

You say "discussion", but many of the Gitlab developer comments in that thread consist of the same response copy-and-pasted verbatim in response to multiple different people, which comes across more as PR spin than as a good-faith attempt to engage in a discussion.

You don't have to box, but you do need some sort of type to make things sized. This is usually a pointer of some kind, but any kind of pointer works. Take references, for example:

enum List<'a, T> {
Nil,
Cons(T, &'a List<'a, T>)
}

fn main() {
let list = List::Cons("hello", &List::Nil);
}

Box is usually chosen because it's a good default choice.
There's some conversation about exposing fast math on this internals thread: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/pre-pre-rfc-floating-point...

Floating point code is really difficult to do correctly. LLVM doesn't actually model IEEE 754 correctly yet, although hopefully the remaining issues with the constrained intrinsics will be fixed by the end of the year (even then, sNaN support is likely to still be broken for some time).

What makes floating point more difficult than integers is two things. First, there is an implicit dependency on the status register that greatly inhibits optimization, yet very few users actually care about that dependency. The second issue is that there is many more properties that matter for floating point. For an integer, you essentially only care about three modes: wrapping (w/ optional carry flag), saturating, and no-overflow. Exposing these as separate types exhaustively is easy. For floating point, you have orthogonal concerns of rounding mode (including dynamic), no-NaN, no-infinity, denormals (including flush-to-zero support), contraction to form FMA, reciprocal approximation, associative, acceptable precision loss (can I use an approximate inverse sqrt?), may trap, and exception sticky bits. Since they're orthogonal, that means that instead of a dozen types, you need a few thousand types to combine them, although many combinations are probably not going to be too interesting.
I tell this story a lot. But I think in the time of smartphones and such it also represents the only real secure site I thought was truly secure from what I knew of it. This was before smartphones were common, but I think it was ahead of its time in that way.

I worked for a company that occasionally would service some of our hardware onsite. One customer was a company that did a lot of work for the military and they had "that site" that a few folks visited. Here was how that worked:

Nothing except your body and your clothes left the site, anything you brought stayed onsite (laptops that we brought onsite were left behind / effectively disposable, later you couldn't even bring those, they provided one). All that stuff belonged to the military / whomever you interacted with at the site.

No electronics, cameras, etc that were not previously improved were allowed and you were told you would not be leaving anytime soon if you had something "unexpected or unauthorized".

It was highly suggested that nothing was in your rental car other than your keys, the equipment you needed as they searched the car and the folks would take what they wished.

If you realized you had something you didn't want to in the car it was highly suggested you do not turn around if you are at all close to the location and to drive up and immediately tell them you dorked up and brought something. This was a fairly remote location so the probabbly knew you were coming before you saw the gate and the guards didn't like surprises.

Upon arrival you parked, were blindfolded and driven from the gate to the site, you never actually saw the outside of the site until you were in the building. You were never alone at anytime. Trips to the bathroom while at the site were monitored... in person by a guard with a rifle.

Now all that sounds ominous but everyone reported that the folks there were very professional (not friendly but professional).

The point of that whole story was that even a while ago someone said "any electronics" were a threat and decided that they had to go to extremes to limit their access. Still today I think that was the closest to a "sure" policy.
Maybe they thought common sense applies and "Contacts" is not a trademarkable word.

I don't know what fantasy land the author and reviewer live in, but here in America in 2019, the world is a dangerous, knife-edged, and pitiless place where it's a constant fight of all against all. Anyone you meet, even immediate family members, is your enemy by default, and usually an ally at best. Everyone ruthlessly exploits everyone else to survive, everyone kills and dies by inches to eat tomorrow.

I've no idea where these people come from saying people love and support one another. Out here, others are either threats or exploitation targets, not partners.

Very good article nevertheless, helps to sort out adaptive things from maladaptive things.

I'm not sure I fully agree. Someone who really knows their topic well and is skilled at explaining it can often explain in simple terms with relatively few words. Many papers on the other hand seem be written with filler either to put on airs or to make the paper appear to have more info than is actually there.

I know this is not true for all papers or topics but it does seem common enough that I run into it frequently.
