Edit: I cannot reply to the below, but I will say, that’s a pretty contrived justification for your view.

Communication is hard. Few things done at a corporate scale are easy to implement. People like to point at big consulting firms and say “I could have done that” or “they could have just asked me” but that’s really just a fraction of it.
Ah yes, it's all a grift :eyeroll:

Why would you have a CDN configured to cache error responses from the origin? It shouldn't serve those at all.

It's also a good idea to whitelist headers and query params your app uses.

Better put this sounds like an attack that only works on very poorly configured CDNs.

>Oh really? Well that's good news too, because now I can just save myself those rewrites, because they're pointless. That's a 3x improvement right there.

No dude don't even write it because likely it will be garbage. If you truly believe that nodejs apps don't need to be rewritten go to Uber. They never rewrote their entire nodejs code base in Golang.

>If you have wizards, that is.

Haskell isn't all wizards. It's just regular people who learned something different.

>No, it's a "one time per hire" deal.

Same with almost every other language that isn't popular yet. Rust and golang and kotlin and swift all went through this. The goal of any language is to become popular enough to get past this.

>I'm certainly not calling all Haskell programmers wizards

Then what is the big deal. If we aren't wizards then it's easy to learn. Programmers learn new languages all the time. Learning Haskell is just slightly more challenging and not a huge drain on productivity. Spend a couple more months training new developers in exchange for a 90% reduction in bugs and much better design.

>See, that's another kind of expert that I definitely don't want to need on the team. I want people who have a basic understanding of SQL, with a reluctance to learn the ins and outs of it. That'll dramatically lower the chances of them trying to be smart with SQL.

Eventually for certain queries you will have to get clever and write queries to optimize. Additionally to serve certain architectures you have to know a lot about the inner workings of the database and how to manipulate the api to get the performance needed at the lower level. An expert has no trouble with this and is an asset. This isn't about getting clever or doing tricky things with syntax just to be clever... this is about inevitability of the fact that a client will want to ask a question to a database that has grown so complex it is not straightforward to answer his question in a performant way. This is extremely common even for your run of the mill web app company.

But that's besides the point. I'm comparing haskell to SQL because it's a similar learning curve. Both are expression based languages. In fact I would argue that Haskell is EASIER then SQL due to the type checking.

Learn the language if you really want to understand our perspective. I use to be in that camp of why learn a freaking language when it's barely used, but that changed once I learned haskell.
Canada uses FPTP voting and it has highly skewed the last few elections, sadly there was an expectation that the last federal election would result in election reform but that never materialized.
> has been moralized out of existence.

I don't find slapstick, pratfalls, etc., funny anymore for different reasons. It just isn't funny. But I still enjoy Laurel & Hardy, but not for the slapstick.

It's more for the irrational logic the L&H characters use, which is on great display in the one where they move the piano up the stairs, and in the one where they sell Christmas trees door to door.

The running gags are funny because you know what is going to happen. You know the piano is going to get destroyed (who would hire L&H to move a piano, and the sound effects as the piano gets insulted are very funny in foretelling its impending demise), but somehow that makes it even funnier. You know when Ollie steps in a puddle it'll be 5 feet deep, and the funny part isn't so much him getting wet it's his long-suffering expression looking directly into the camera when he surfaces. It makes me laugh just thinking about it.

Monty Python's pratfalls aren't funny, either, but when they have a knight in armor fall down the stairs, it's not the fall that's funny, its the foley sound effect of a metal garbage can going down the stairs that's funny.

This is silly.

Most people use VPNs to get out region restrictions.

These are getting more and more common due to local governments making laws that affect the whole internet - think GDPR - that individual site owners do not want to abide by so they block IPs. VPNs solve this very real problem for those still wanting access to the content.

They're also used for subverting content region licensing. For example, with Netflix.

Rio Tinto has been widely criticised by environmentalist groups for its mining activities. Opposition to the company focuses on its mining methods due to environmental degradation, the company's coal operations for their contribution to global warming, and uranium operations for environmental and nuclear technology concerns. Perhaps the most significant environmental criticism to date has come from the government of Norway, which divested itself from Rio Tinto shares and banned further investment due to environmental concerns. Claims of severe environmental damages related to Rio Tinto's engagement in the Grasberg mine in Indonesia led the Government Pension Fund of Norway to exclude Rio Tinto from its investment portfolio. The fund, which is said to be the world's second-largest pension fund, sold shares in the company valued at 4.85 billion kr (US$855 million) to avoid contributing to environmental damages caused by the company.[99]

Carbon-dioxide emissions
According to The Guardian, Rio Tinto is one of the top 100 industrial greenhouse gas producers in the world, accounting for 0.75 percent of global industrial greenhouse gas emissions between 1988 to 2015.[102] In 2016, Rio Tinto estimated to have produced 32 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent in its own climate change report.[103]

In March 2018, Rio Tinto was urged by institutional investors to set new rules requiring the company to adhere to the goals of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, including detailed plans to reduce scope 1 to 3 emissions.[104] Rio Tinto's top executives rejected the resolution, arguing that the company had made a lot of progress in reducing its greenhouse gas emissions and that appropriate plans were in place to deal with climate change.[105]

Rio also argued that that scope 3 emissions, those of its customers, were beyond the firm's control.[106] Nevertheless, the corporation in September 2019 signed a partnership with Chinese steelmaker China Baowu Steel Group to find ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from steel making, in an attempt to tackle the scope 3 issue.[107]

Labour and human rights
Activist groups have also expressed concern regarding Rio Tinto's operations in Papua New Guinea, which they allege were one catalyst of the Bougainville separatist crisis.[108] The British antipoverty charity War on Want has also criticised Rio Tinto for its complicity in the serious human rights violations which have occurred near the mines it operates in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.[109]

On 31 January 2010, Rio Tinto locked out nearly 600 workers from a mine in Boron, California, USA.[110]

Sure, you're always trusting a VPN at their word that they don't log, the above gives a detailed analysis of which ones you probably shouldn't trust. You can always host your own: https://github.com/n1trux/awesome-sysadmin#vpn

Yes, now you just write code with the assumption that a word is 4 or 8 bytes, you don't concern yourself with the case where the word is four triganic nibbles long.
I agree, but note that proportional representation with ranked-choice voting and multi-member districts doesn't require a different number of preferences or votes per voter. It simply involves transferring each voter's one vote if their first preference is eliminated and a fraction of it if their first preference is elected, and then repeating with second and subsequent preferences until all vacancies are filled.

Are you sure that trade-off of many smaller vehicles rather than one big vehicle makes sense, in terms of pollution and congestion? I'm not as sure as you are, but who knows.
This post makes good arguments, but there's a very real reason to use a VPN provider over your own server - plausible deniability. With a VPN your traffic is mixed in with many, many other users', whereas with your own server, any traffic coming from that IP can safely be presumed to be yours.
It's not on Chrome's level, but it does have autofill. I hope that is next on their agenda. I love how Chrome prompts for security code and generates based on that.

Are you seriously suggesting that code written in Haskell cannot have bugs, flaws and technical debt?

Am I to understand that people writing in JS cannot learn from mistakes, but people writing in Haskell can?

This particular case was brought up previously, but as a participant I'd like to mention that this election actually went quite well, the candidate with the second most primary round votes ended up winning. I believe it's often cited and discussed because the election was repealed and the candidate thrown out of office, which was hugely frustrating... the voting system was scrapped because the electorate selected a bad candidate.

Let me draw a parallel, let's say that Trump is impeached - when he's impeached should we all say "Oh hey, well that democracy thing... what a dumpster fire - let's go back to a monarchy!". No, we shouldn't, but high amounts of pressure from the dominant parties were deployed and caused a voting system to be repealed just because someone elected by it was removed from office.

Seriously, the BTV election is a terrible case example, it was intensely tainted by lobbied interests and used as an excuse to regress voting rights.

In fact, the wealthy are probably the only people not taking cabs I would have thought, as they have their own cars and chauffeurs.

In Europe, there is still a lot of pride in completely owning your company, and not having any plans to sell it to anyone, except maybe IPO. In many cases, the original founders are still running their tech companies 20 years later. It could almost be said, that a "serial tech entrepreneur" is not a thing in such a conservative society, because even entrepreneurs prefer certainty and stability in their lives over high risks / high returns, and the fear of failure is much stronger than in the US.

You are misinformed about Bernie's proposal. The proposal is not "everyone receives ownership of the company they work for" or anything even remotely similar to that. The proposal is that publicly traded companies that bring in more than $100m in annual revenue must remit 2% of their stock to employees per year until employees retain a 20% share of stock ownership. "Everyone receives ownership of the company that they work for" is an absurd and false characterization.

> One of these markets involves competing on security and privacy.

one of the points raised in the article is that it's difficult to evaluate whether the VPN actually follows its logging policy. if they say they don't log, you pretty much have to take their word for it until information to the contrary somehow goes public. it's entirely possible that LE could be using a VPN as a honeypot and forcing everyone they catch to stay quiet through a plea deal. you'd never know until someone broke ranks. the VPN company could just as easily log your traffic and sell your usage data. unless they're sloppy about it, how would you find out?

Here is a place where mathematicians miss the human psychology of run-off elections. It's true that in terms of the math, ranked choice voting is the same as having multiple run-off elections, but in reality, there is a practical difference. Many people have a first choice candidate that they study and get to know. They rarely know much about their second choice, or their third choice. If there was a run-off election between an opponent and their second choice candidate, people would suddenly pay much more attention to their second choice candidate. Their preferences might shift.

For practical reasons, I'd favor run off elections instead of ranked choice.
Browser Support: Cost vs. Benefit Analysis
Not disagreeing with your post, but when talking about black cabs and ULEZ we shouldn't forget the historical diesel subsidies:

> The resulting financial incentive for diesel cars helped to prompt a "dash for diesel" after it came into effect in 2001 and was extended in further years. This particularly happened within company car fleets which were responsible for a substantial proportion of new car purchases.

> There are now 12 million diesel cars on Britain's roads, while back in 2000 there were only three million. And in recent years diesels have accounted for around half the new car market, whereas in 2000 only one in seven new cars was a diesel model.

- https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-41985715

This was a massive 180 by government, which explains some of the exceptions for black cabs.

However, anyone who bought a car after they realised the mistake and repealed it, deserves less sympathy. I wish the ULEZ exception took that into account.

Maybe this is not the answer you're looking for: but I think CRISPR-Cas9 seems like the most exciting technology probably in all of science. It's a system that can be used to literally change the DNA of living creatures, and on top of that it's highly accessible. Think of the hacker culture today and now imagine the same rate of change for biological engineering.

We'll have massive libraries of re-usable "components" for interesting DNA-sequences. People will slowly slice together more complicated features, and freely trade organic components with each other via post. At some point in the future electronics will catch up to bioengineering, leading to better ways to make changes to DNA. We'll eventually be able to change DNA in something like a "biology IDE" and have usable components printed out the other end. After that point, our world probably won't look anything like it does today.

It won't be long before someone decides to give themselves glowing skin or super strong muscles (and people have already tried the latter!) I for one welcome our super-human overlords.
