Late last year, the EFF sent out a mailer to its donors, myself among them, grossly misconstruing H.R.1695 - Register of Copyrights Selection and Accountability Act of 2017. Worse, the mailer contained obvious lies and FUD, among other things saying that it would undermine the authority of the Library of Congress.

I sent a kindly worded mailer back to the EFF stating my long-standing support and how I was concerned about their chosen tactic and abuse of the facts. I made it clear that my donation and public support was at stake. They blew me off and I haven't given them money since.

Every time they send me something asking for money, I send a kindly worded email back summarizing the situation, which they also do not respond to, but still ask me for money.

Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say here is that I'm not surprised.
From the Wikipedia article "Neuroscience of sex differences":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience_of_sex_difference...
Lateralization appears to differ between in the sexes with men having a more lateralized brain. This is based on differences in "left" and "right" brained abilities. One factor which contributes support to the idea that there is a sex difference in brain lateralization is that men are more likely to be left handed. However, it is unclear whether this is due to a difference in lateralization.[6]

Meta-analysis of grey matter in the brain found sexually dimorphic areas of the brain in both volume and density. When synthesized, these differences show volume increases for males tend to be on the left side of systems, while females generally see greater volume in the right hemisphere.[2] However, based on a number of studies using different measurement techniques, there is no significant difference between male and female brain lateralization

Ionic is quite decent, though can become sluggish once your app grows in complexity (even with lazy loading) if you're not careful.

Flutter looks interesting, going to check it out.

In the end one wants a true "write once, run everywhere" framework, not write the business logic and then write the UI 3+ times for each target platform. Ionic delivers on this front, but am curious to see if Flutter takes it to another level (blazing fast dev/reload cycles and native performance in production sound quite appealing).

What's made this worse is the Internet. In the not so distant past, only big companies would do pre-hire background checks. Often only for records in the state you were applying to work in.

Now, even tiny mom-and-pop businesses can do a nationwide background check online. At a very low cost.

A conviction these days, even for a misdemeanor, can kill your job prospects for life.
I also wonder if that is the reason so many things online when learning new information are addicting.

The brain probably loves the plasticity state and thrives for it. Almost like a dopamine hit. So we go to distractions like reddit and HN or others too often. In the span of a few moments you can learn so much and refine what you know with research if good discussions are going on. It is important to make it useful info though or market/social patterns, not just something that is as easy to forget as it is to learn it.

That page dates from when we were moving our users off the old NetApp / Sun / UW-IMAP version of Hermes onto the new Linux / Cyrus version, with a 10x quota increase. My colleague David Carter had extended Cyrus with application-level replication, so our new mail storage architecture was (and still is) a sharded cluster with multi-site replication. David’s replication code was later adopted by Fastmail and incorporated into upstream Cyrus. It was pretty cutting-edge at the time. http://fanf2.user.srcf.net/hermes/doc/talks/2004-02-ukuug/
Adapting pronunciation of foreign words is what all languages do. It's not related to colonisation at all.

It's astonishing how many developers resign to the idea that "estimating software projects is impossible". It's impossible when there are either,

- Technical uncertainties (e.g. self driving cars)

- Human uncertainties (multiple different teams building single large software system)

- Scope uncertainties (we don't know what we are actually building until we get into the weeds)

Outside of these we should be able to make reasonably accurate (+/- 30%) estimates. I wrote a blog [1] about it if someone is interested but here are the main takeaways,

- Don't just estimate writing code but also include time required for testing, documentation, communication, setting up infra/deployment

- If certain part is hazy ("is there a reliable python library for speech to text") then research it enough to know the path ahead

- Breakdown the system into smaller units until you feel confident to estimate each piece

Let me clarify. It's always okay to be critical of the Government as long as one doesn't engage in spreading fake propaganda and misinformation. The links in my comment point towards a scenario where there was an attempt towards doing that.
Someone in a different forum just pointed out to me that the federal subsidies for railroads were not massive in the 1860s. Today that land is worth a lot and so the subsidies seem massive, but back then the federal government had a lot of land that was essentially worthless - except for a few recluses nobody wanted it because you had to live a solitary life. By giving it to the railroad they were able to build a railroad that meant someone who moved to railroad land could get somewhere (IE back east to visit family for Christmas), and goods. The railroad made out great on this, but land that didn't have a railroad nearby wasn't nearly as valuable because you were stuck living there alone, with no opportunity to buy nice things to make your life better.
Considering a lot of changes during puberty, and these tests done before onset of puberty, we don't know what happens later.

Without looking at other age groups, we never know. Most teachers in those age groups are (in most countries) women, but I agree about inequality when one-gender-only scholarships are offered.

More research has to be done on other age groups. There are ethics problems with active involvement, but brain differences have been observed in other animals too ( https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn13596-male-monkeys-pr... )
I suspect that may be device level consumption accounting as opposed to actual focus (which is hard to measure) at best. At worst it is human memory which is even worse.

> - Asynchronous programming is completely orthogonal to Python

Theoretically, yes. In practice, people are just copying Python mistakes word-for-word, in an attempt to score the "coolness" factor that async garnered in the Python community. (Never mind that the "coolness" came from solving a problem that doesn't even exist in other languages...)

If you want to see what asynchronous programming would look like if it weren't copied from Python, look at the recent C++ proposal.

> - If you don't need it, don't use it. Rust without asynchronous functions still looks and works like before

The problem is that every Python library now comes in two versions, regular and 'async'. Even if you don't need or care about anything 'async'.

I guess splintering your code base into two incompatible flavors is just the pythonic way of doing things? Now that the 2 vs 3 insanity is finally dying down, they needed to start a fresh one?

Why is Rust trying hard to repeat these mistakes?

No, this doesn't have anything to do with Haskell's lazy evaluation (at least not in the NonEmpty list example presented). The general idea is that if you are going to perform validation checks at some point in your dynamic language, you won't lose any performance performing those checks up-front in your static language.

On the contrary, you were discussing Europe specifically, and, you didn’t italicize you think, you wrote certainly:

> “I would be very surprised if that was the case. It's certainly not in the US or UK.”

You’re defending your second sentence, but the assertion I’m replying to is your reaction on Europe in the first one.

True but in terms of development platforms for Microsoft, it is constant churn.

When they have a monopoly or near monopoly like Microsoft does with the desktop and Windows, less need for churn to keep people on it but lack of competitors. Azure has gone through lots of churn because of heavy competition.

Maybe competition, which is good, causes all this breaking software changes but change is good as well. Software change should just be a little more stable and developer/engineer/product/designer led not just the money/marketing/oversight pushed.

Unfortunately standards get wrecked when platforms are going for lock-in and control, Microsoft/Google etc are all to blame for that. It isn't the engineers pushing for that mostly. Standards at least promote some level of stable APIs, but they don't lock-in and so big fish and sharks eat them up and break them.
The Register of Copyrights is currently appointed by the Librarian of Congress. Should H.R.1695 become law, the Register of Copyrights would no longer be appointed by the Librarian of Congress, who is the head of Library of Congress.

This does undermine the current authority of the Library of Congress.

The theory here is that if the hull was punctured with a cannon-ball sized hole, then the one that repels water may still be filled with that air bubble.

I do see your point. This is easier to envision on a smaller scale in production, however. In theory, if it works for a small vessel, it should also work for a larger one. Although I don't see large sea-bearing vessels changing any time soon.

Either way, innovation is cool...and it always starts somewhere.
That's not much competition, and they seem to have arrived at a consensus about what kind of content we should experience

The flurry of movies loved by critics coincidentally working for media outlets owned by big players, and hated by actual fans shows the power of this.

Terminator: Dark Fate should have been amazing but it pretty much sucked, for example. Being out of sync with the fans doesn’t seem to matter to studio bosses, even if the movie tanks.
So you're saying that you have difficulty converting letters to words in your mind and so will just invent a comment and then proceed to come up with your own take about it?

Increased police scrutiny and surveillance have been linked to worsening mental and physical health

I find it surprising. I would be happy to see more police in where I live. In my layman's mind police, pretty much by definition, prevents and deters crime. They may not be perfect in that, but in most cases they're fine.
I think some leave for some of the reasons you mentioned sometimes. We know that if the state demands it girls and later women will succeed in STEM. We could do better in STEM for girls and women, but also we could do better for boys and men too. Currently we import the deficit.

That said, I think a lot of it is not what you listed (which is still a problem needed addressing) but the majority is social demand and how we as a society don’t make those careers necessary or cool. People get diverted into business and liberal arts in too great a number.

If we used cultural tools to steer more girls and boys (with special emphasis for girls) into STEM we’d see better results.

Several of our clients have Go codebases. My general experience as a security auditor of Go projects has been that it is mostly akin to security auditing of Python projects (I'd say it's like Java auditing, but I'm very concerned/excited about deserialization bugs in Java programs and am not so optimistic about finding them in Go programs).

Which is to say, the low hanging fruit won't be exploitable type safety problems, but rather application logic issues: SQL injection (Go's database integration is still the wild west), failure to properly authorize RPCs or HTTP endpoints, SSRF, and stuff like that. I'm probably not going to use property testing to find an SSRF, or to spot a static nonce, or something like that (somebody feel free to put me my place over that! maybe I should use more property testing!)

It's interesting that the strategies described in this post lean so heavily on theoretical program correctness; as I read it, it felt super useful to me as a Go developer, and less directly applicable to my assessment work.

Relatedly, this post was circulating on Twitter yesterday, and it is great: a race condition in Go code exploitable for RCE:

https://github.com/netanel01/ctf-writeups/blob/master/google...

I probably had your attention with that summary! Race conditions in Go code could be a broadly exploitable bug class! Except: not so much, no: the conditions making that bug exploitable are both contrived and outlandish enough that no security reviewer, even one unfamiliar with Go, would have been comfortable with that design.
