Not to mention employee labor and liability is basically a personal guarantee for a business owner.

Hard to justify committing to wages if your business is new or volatile.

Easier to just not start a business. California has great programs to help the poor with food, clothing, and energy. At some point it becomes easier to just stop working and live off the state.

Then you vote for the party that will let you keep your free stuff.

Then you have a land where costs are high and the people are mostly poor. You have California in 2019.

I'm working on a new frontend framework, as well as a couple of applications that make use of it: https://github.com/maxharris9/layout

One of my goals is for my framework to compete with Flutter. So why not just use Flutter? Two reasons: Flutter's API is object-oriented, and Layout's is functional. I also prefer a declarative style for specifying views, but can't stand Babel's bigness/slowness, so I built a JSX transformer (https://github.com/maxharris9/jsx-layout).
This seems contrived. So you need to send someone "evil" code that they won't read, have them compile it as root, and then ship you the resulting binary.

I wouldn't read too much into it "working" with some kind of compile/show service, as they could have been using non-persistent containers.

Ultimately this seems like social engineering i.e. "Tricking privileged users into doing <bad thing> as root." Might have well ask them to cat /etc/shadow and email you the "nonsense" it prints.

science or anything else humans do can be skewed. Saying things like 'we should do gun research because it can be skewed', well that's just a way to avoid it.
Except that's not actually correct, because strictly following the ABNF does not yield correct semantics for an email address.

An email address consists of a local-part, a literal @ character, and then a domain name or an IP address literal. The local-part is either a series of dot-separated atoms (/[a-zA-Z0-9!#$%&'+/=?^_`{|}~-]+/ is the syntax for an atom) or a quoted string (/"([^\\"\0-\031\x7f]|\\[^\0-\031\x7f])"/ in regex). If you support EAI, you need to add \u00a0-\u10ffff [i.e., all non-ASCII non-C1 control characters].

According to RFC 822, you can insert whitespace (and comments) arbitrarily into the mailbox production, but that is non-semantic. Seeing "From: John Doe <foo @ example (I ((hate)) CFWS).com>" means that the email address is exactly "foo@example.com", and you can reject any claim of the spelling without prejudicing any email addresses.

In practice, you can drop all support for quoted strings and IP address literals in most applications. So a correct email address (pre-EAI) regex in that vein would be:

[a-zA-Z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(.[a-zA-Z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@([a-zA-Z0-9]+(-[a-zA-Z0-9]+)*\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}

If you insist on quoted-string support, then it looks like this:

([a-zA-Z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(.[a-zA-Z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*|"([^\\"\0-\031\x7f]|\\[\\"])*")@([a-zA-Z0-9]+(-[a-zA-Z0-9]+)*\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}

[I simplified the quoted string to only accept escapes that are semantically necessary--the strings "a b"@example.com and "a\ b"@example.com correspond to the same email address].

Edit: Sorry, there's quite a few asterisks in the regexes that Hacker News is turning into italicization, and I don't know how to unbork them.

Edit 2: Someone suggested how to unbork the standalone regexes, but the asterisks in the inline regex in the second paragraph are still missing.

Thank you for drawing this line clearly. Frequently elsewhere I see mods decrying self-promotion, yet there should be nothing wrong with posting your own material (otherwise, what is the internet for, only consumption?).

We weren’t “doing nothing”. We were actively discouraging research.
Oh!! The tragedy...737 Max was the preferred choice for people too scared to commit suicide & people who liked to live on the edge. Every time it took-off, there was no certainty that it will land back safely. It was a technical marvel that Airbus could not even dream of and the Chinese spys are working tirelessly to steal the its design. This is an injustice.
“In 1939 the Supreme Court unanimously held that Congress could prohibit the possession of a sawed-off shotgun because that weapon had no reasonable relation to the preservation or efficiency of a “well regulated militia.”

During the years when Warren Burger was our chief justice, from 1969 to 1986, no judge, federal or state, as far as I am aware, expressed any doubt as to the limited coverage of that amendment. When organizations like the National Rifle Association disagreed with that position and began their campaign claiming that federal regulation of firearms curtailed Second Amendment rights, Chief Justice Burger publicly characterized the N.R.A. as perpetrating “one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, on the American public by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime.”

I had to double take on this to make sure it wasn't on the Onion. Wow, just wow.
People in California could overestimate the "homeless problem" in Kansas City. It gets really cold there. Missouri and Kansas are both brutal to poor people. (I've lived in Missouri most of my life so I'm allowed to admit that.) The homeless in KC are likely to avoid situations in which they provoke response from fellow citizens or police.

Buses do need to be cleaned regularly. When that doesn't happen, the homeless might be blamed, but a more fair target might be poor administration.
Sure. Unshipping things is always hard, and likely to break people. But there's still a difference between unshipping support for a standard and unshipping support for a non-standard technology that only you ever implemented. In the latter case, people should be a lot more wary of depending on the technology in the first place.

While it's true that browser updates may break your app, it's also true that there are ways to write the app so as to minimize the risk of such breakage. Using Custom Elements V0 was _not_ a good way to avoid potential breakage...
>>gun rights derive from the Constitution.

For me, I would say that the 2nd amendment reflects the natural right to self defense that all humans have.
There are lots of elements that decay by spitting out an alpha particle -- just another name for a helium nucleus.

I am reliably informed that spitting out an He+2 and turning into something chemically other is not fission. Apparently those unstable nuclei that split this way actually had a He nucleus bouncing around in there, and it tunneled out "honestly".
> Absolute T2D rates in the lowest and highest UPF consumers were 113 and 166 per 100 000 person-years, respectively.

Perhaps my love of potato chips is clouding my judgement, but on a personal level, that doesn't seem like a huge increase in risk.
> Java Bytecode is pretty simple, and the VM has a standard memory model and GC with a large accompanying library, and a state of the art JIT. Making it a great target for higher level languages.

Not necessarily. The problem is that JVM is too high-level, and imposes not just a memory model, but also an object model, with many constraints to impose memory safety. That can be difficult to work around without performance penalties. So languages that are designed to target JVM from the get go, tend to be designed with those limitations in mind, constraining them.

.NET bytecode is somewhere in the middle between that and wasm. It has things such as raw pointers and pointer arithmetic, dynamic allocation of stack, unions, and other things that aren't memory-safe. This allows languages that don't want to have memory safety imposed on them (like C++), or that have their own ideas about how to impose it properly (like Rust), do whatever they want, and run efficiently on top of CLR. But it still has that high-level object model, much like JVM, which can be used for interop that's higher-level than just a C ABI.

wasm, for the time being at least, is a VM that is limited to a C ABI. Their future plans, such as interface types, can potentially approach the complexity of the JVM and CLR object models, but with more isolation boundaries (because memory isn't shared between modules).
While I lean the same way, the measurement problem is definitely harder than you say. If it's just entanglement with an external system, you still have to answer how that superposition ends up with you personally observing only one result.
The question would be: how expensive is it to pay off the NDA-schenannigans for a mostly-obsolete node at a small, practically defunct fab? It should be a competitive advantage at that point.

It all has to do with investment. LA has one of the largest metro systems and a million people use it a day. 60% of NYC commuters use public transport. In cities that build and improve transport, it gets used. It has nothing to do with culture but rather what is actually built.

It also doesn't help that transit agencies in smaller cities have been degenerate. Their answer for declines in ridership is to consolidate and cut service, not improve the network, which leads to more decline, and more consolidation, until you end up with a place like many commenters in this thread where 1 bus comes every hour, usually following the path of a former streetcar right of way that was ripped out by monied interests 70 years ago.
I think they're using local storage not EBS.
Prime members can choose a "Prime Day", meaning consolidating purchases into one day of your choice (say Thursday). This might be a bigger triumph in marketing. Convincing customers who pay a premium for 2-day shipping to accept delivery a week (or more) out, by choice. Genius!
I think it's because it's easier to divide and conquer with 'big scary assault rifles meant for the battlefield' - it helps gather some people who are in the middle, and agree with Heller in that people should be able to defend themselves especially at home... if you say assault rifle bad - no one needs one to hunt with - you get some people nodding...

so it's easier to pass and claim a victory lap.

I saw a definition recently that said assault rifle bans.. any rifle with at least one 'military type accessory' - that wording is part of the charade. I'm guessing a forward grip, maybe a red dot would be in that?

Frankly if the grandma next door needs to use a weapon, I would hope that she is not limited by regulations such as that - I would like her to have as good of a grip and sighting options as absolutely possible. I'd rather her have an easily controllable SBR type of weapon, expandable stock and maybe 30 rounds of 22 winmag - this would be much safer for her and for the neighbors I think if something went down... JB's double barrell shotgun suggestion would not be the best protection for many grandmas, imho.

so maybe 'because of the popularity of hand guns' is that in a way, in that people in the middle want them.. I think some people will read that as in 'the popularity' is causing lots of shootings and that makes gun control popular.

maybe. all situations are different not an exhaustive suggestion(s) thought processes atm. ymmv.
Terrifying revelations comes for cheap these days. Plenty of people say that the opposite of that is terrifying as well. I figure if I'm going to be terrified either way, I might as well not be!

To be clear, I agree with that assessment. My point is that banning standard capacity magazines and semiautomatic rifles will have little effect on suicide rates, since they aren't a very good choice for committing suicide in the first place.
That's a good heuristic, but you are still left with spoofing using 100% Cyrillic, and even old school approaches like "app1e.com" (1 instead of l). When you consider distracted users, or people with bad eyesight, you are back to square l.

> is it equally obvious that the compiler also needs to be sandboxed?

I would NEVER expect that one can run a C or C++ compiler on arbitrary input safely. There are so many potential attack vectors and, unless the authors have gone out of their way extensively to prevent them, it seems very likely they would suffer from buffer overflows, leaking memory to callers, and in the worst case arbitrary code execution.

I doubt any one of these websites is safe unless using very strict validation or disposable VMs/hardware in some way.
Its weird because the only people who are going to respond to this type of criticism are people who were so invested in Infinite Jest that they will read this lengthy critique. So its going always going to be extremely biased and poorly received by the biased audience, especially 20+ years later. So its basically just a conversation starter for all the snobs who inhaled this book and maybe a tiny minority who didn't enjoy it but are still motivated enough to discuss it.

The criqitue is mostly well-written and there's some issues I agree with, but they get pretty smarmy and smug by the end.
The A220-300 could also be a reasonable choice.
Then we don't agree. The concentration of a position depends on the confidence of the investment and direction. 20% isn't a magical rule, no point in following it blindly.
Many European countries have free monthly passes for poor people and I haven't noticed any problems of that kind.

Nor do I actually see what's particularly "unethical" about riding free public transport when it's cold outside? If capacity on rolling stock is tight, four square feet of floor in a warm room should be eminently affordable for the world's richest country. And, no, the availability of shelters doesn't make homelessness so comfortable that it becomes a lifestyle choice, or do you know anybody who would want to exchange their job & home for a homeless shelter?

Pick a language of your choice, and fully implement the spec. I bet it'll still be long.

Edit: The following is completely wrong

For example, the python module to parse an email address is around 500 lines and repeatedly warns it'll be very hard to follow without a copy of the spec in front of you. It contains code for parsing multiple timezone formats and cite to a follow up spec addressing a bug in the initial treatment of negative timezones...

Emails are used for, among other things, sending email to a user. Which requires the application know the email address.
The act of refusing to answer this question is already giving plenty info that the person was seeking by asking it. As long as they don't push it after the refusal, the question has served its purpose, and it is all in good spirit imo.

I am absolutely fine with receiving those kinds of sensitive questions, as long as the person asking those is cool about it after hearing "no".

Your example given with the conclusion to follow doesn't make sense. I'm a hard determinist, I've known others like myself and nobody leaps to the thought, "the initial conditions of the universe means this is all meaningless" and we do try to observe every possibility such as the game being rigged. I don't necessarily think superdeterminism can explain literally anything or that if it did explain something there would be no gain of insight. That just seems like you're postulating.
I don't really understand what your coin flip metaphor is supposed to mean in the context of the paper. That Superdeterminism could be used in an entirely facile way doesn't really suggest anything about the theory itself.

When choosing Superdeterminism as an ontology it suggests different paths for doing research, paths that are unexplored and potentially full of insight. That's what is exciting about it to me.
I'm not sure what this has to do with my point. Veterans generally don't support more gun control (I am one), but you're right that political motivations can cause weird bedfellows. Anyway, I wasn't really talking about politicians as it were ... more the general public.
Which I believe is what the SCOTUS essentially ruled today. If the city doesn’t have adequate shelter you can’t just arrest people for existing.
Not only is it contrived, it's also compiler dependent[1]. I'd wager most compilers will simply copy the contents of the included file like gcc does, but all kinds of other stuff can happen.

when "police officers are consulted when drafting the legislation" - they could have their own protection interest in mind more than yours.

If grandma is not allowed to be safer because random bad guy - you have to wonder, or should maybe.
Reminds me of a issue Spotify had too with unicodes and usernames.

https://labs.spotify.com/2013/06/18/creative-usernames/

I had someone tell me that programming isn't real work before, and this is yet another example of all the small little details going into building things that most people don't really think about day to day.

I haven't had to work with login code in a while, but might at some point. I know some systems only allow alphanumeric usernames, but sounds like can't force people to have alphanumeric emails... Well I guess you could but might upset someone. I know there's normalizing functions though like NFD, NFC, NFKD or NFKC that might work for usernames but not sure what's really recommended.

Then also brute forcing attempts to try to mitigate attacks and other considerations to make also when building out an account system. Then if your company is large enough to provide phone support, not sure how you'd tell the support person which specific emoji you used in your username.
Except none of their pilots crashed the plane despite flying an order of magnitude more flights than Ethiopian or Lion Air. The difference is that US pilots are far better trained and maintenance doesn’t skimp like Lion Air had a long history of doing. The Lion Air plane should have been grounded when the the AOA sensor was reported bad on the flight the day before the crash. The executive in charge of Lion Air maintenance should be in jail: they let the plane fly knowing the AOA sensor was faulty. The MEL for that airplane required the AOA sensor. For some reason we let Lion Air off the hook, but look at their history: one of the most dangerous airlines in existence and that isn’t Boeing’s fault.
The evolution of a manifold under Ricci flow is deterministic as mentioned, and it is also irreversible, ie many manifolds are smoothed to the same manifold. It's also a diffeomorphism, meaning that it preserves all of the topological information of the manifold that it acts on. Furthermore it can act on manifolds which have no normal form, in at least some sense. Because smooth manifolds with no triangulation do indeed exist.

The manifold cannot, in whole, as a result of this, get "simpler" or even maintain the same amount of simplicity, it must somehow get more complex, which would require information to be generated. The primary problem with deterministic models, at least as I understand it, is that there's no obvious way for deterministic processes to get more complex.
I believe strongly that everything is deterministic. As a programmer, that means all is purely functional.
It's not that simple. GDPR is purposely vague and regulated "in principle" rather than by the letter. Otherwise anyone operating a digital storefront, email newsletter or even subscription paywall would be in violation.

GDPR doesn't have much standing against gated content and many top law firms agree. There's also a combination of legitimate interest, business vs personal emails, and contract in effect to sign up for communications as workarounds. And to be extra clear, GDPR has no enforcement outside of the EU so it can't do anything against a US-based database company anyway.
If you'll hold off on the criminalization until all the shelters are built, maybe, but the former is easier than the latter and not everyone is equally invested in the two endeavors.
I held some un-paid internships in middle school and early high school. Learned programming, took software engineering classes, and proved merit w/un-paid internships because hiring a kid is risky.

Whenever I see an article comparing a market leader with an underdog, I always know that the article will be biased against the market leader. It is human nature to root for the underdog. What was the reason for not starting with variables II? I suspect the author wanted to manipulate our minds right there. It is obvious that Java version is the better of the two but they decided to start with a variable with final. Ternary operator for Kotlin doesn't look like ternary to me. It is just an inline if\else.
