> prosecutors can charge people for amounts that are not the
same as the amount seized and then notes

If someone is caught with 500g you can simply charge 280g and make your life easier. If you charge 500g the defendant will argue it was just 450g, which even if irrelevant makes the case seem weaker to the jury--death by a thousand cuts. But if you charge 280g and present evidence of 500g, it makes the case seem more like a slam-dunk to the jury.
The numbers reflect my anecdotal observations of its usage. I started playing with it in 2014, while working at Amazon. There were tons of repos in Amazon's source control system, and it seemed to be growing fast. By 2016, most of them were effectively zombie services, or dead repos that had been replaced...mostly by java, with a smattering of kotlin and scala. There were maybe one or two teams still using it, but it was very much maintenance mode stuff.

Bringing up the marginal tax rates of the rich is a pretty weak defense of a >50% marginal rate for someone on welfare.

Yes, it's 'valuable progress'.

That doesn't mean complaints are invalid, or "letting perfect be the enemy of good". What a rubbish accusation. You're only letting perfect be the enemy of good when you use a problem as a reason to impede the weaker solution. This is a comment hoping for better. Don't shame that!

You only need the free version of IntelliJ for Clojure development. And Cursive is free to use for non-commercial endeavors.

Just in case others were looking. It probably helps to start with IntelliJ + Cursive, instead of trying the lesser featured VSCode and Atom support, or the more difficult to master Emacs + Cider combo or the many VIM alternatives.
In year one, you’re generating $1100 of income with $1000 of capital invested (that will last 5 years).

By year five, you’re generating $1100 of income with $5000 of capital invested (that will require $1000 each year to keep up).

You’re _way_ better off in year one here, so it seems the GAAP approach is actually showing the decline accurately. This isn’t a growing startup, it’s a startup needing more equipment to make the same money each year.
Why does every API need its own set of client libraries? Wasn't the promise of RESTful APIs to obviate the need for such?

Is it perhaps because basic JSON handling and POST/GET processing is still so miserable in most environments?
I don't know how to take this article. For example, if "hackers" are going to disrupt elections, they may use the same data encryption techniques usually precipitating a ransom campaign. However, when targeting elections, it's not money they want or could even hope for. By encrypting the data, or disrupting data flow, they've gotten exactly what they set out to do. And the longer it stays that way, the more success they'll be experiencing. It's not about money. It's about politics. There is no intention of giving the data or the access back no matter what. It is total 90's old school virusware. Your PC is now STONED!! Only this time you can't vote. It's not about ransom.

The article says this blurs the line between ransom and other kinds of attacks. Ransom is always placed on something of value -- life, money, control, secrets, data/information, etc -- so I don't see where the blur is. The only difference here is that they don't actually care for ransom. The deed is done.

Nobody is saying "Send us a few rubles and we'll give you your votes back" so I think this article is blurring two completely separate issues.
I'm a Web developer the most of the time and I tried to jump back and forth between languages and communities in my spare time to check out if there are some ideas that could interest me. I found dynamic language communities are most inspiring to me, just like the old Ruby community.

I found the Clojure community is really fun. I tried Fulcro/Pathom, it's like GraphQL but much more flexible. And also there are open-source alternatives to Datomic like DataScript in the browser, and Crux is also very promising. I always wonder what if we bring some Prolog/Datalog to day to day programming, and those are the ideas well implemented and polished.

Another interesting community I found is Elixir, Phoenix Liveview is very fast to not only prototyping but also achieve high performance.

As a comparison, most statically typed languages community spent most of their time climbing the lambda cube, or in another word, struggle with correctness and expressiveness. It's not necessarily a bad thing - on the contrary, it's applausable. But I found most of the statically typed languages are focusing on those similar things rather than exploring new directions with would be more weird and fun.
I think OP is talking about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM_(surveillance_program).
I fail to see the problem.

I censor content I don't like on every website I visit, by running an adblocker that filters legal ads that are compliant with that website's terms. The filter list is entirely community maintained, and I can extend it as I see fit, and then share my extensions with any other user. Even though, and I want to stress this -- all of the content I'm blocking is legal.

And that's a pretty good setup. I like it a lot.

Absent narrow exceptions with extremely compelling justifications, users should be generally allowed to filter any content that they want for any reason, and they should be free to form communities around those filters.

I know a guy around your age after a divorce decided to move in with some younger roommates in SV, even though he had plenty of money to live alone. He did this to stay socially engaged.

Star Trek TNG got a lot of my attention in my younger years.

Back then I thought the prime directive kind of ideals, do not interfere or harm, seemed unrealistic and like something that we wouldn't be capable of if we found something that somebody important wanted.

Teleportation seemed like maybe plausible, but quite possibly a bit of a reach.

I guess because the Guinness Book of World Records was very popular at the time and we were always hearing about a new fastest car, plane, or something, I really thought we would be cruising around the cosmos at warp speed whatever pretty soon. Maybe lunch at a different planet every other weekend or something reasonable like that.

I will probably always be a little sad that it's not going to happen in my lifetime or likely ever.

I don't really care for Open API's literal spec, but I FUCKING LOVE not painting bike sheds anymore, and so I fucking love OpenAPI.

So many things have built-in support that _not using_ it is really costing you. Yeah, sure, the auto-generated clients can suck but mangling that boiler plate into something acceptable probably saved you days of time, if for nothing else but being consistent with its shitty quirks. If it wasn't for OpenAPI I probably would have given up on web-frontends, because it's awful to give a shit about the shape of your data... but you pair it with Ember, which is already aware of it OOB, and kisses the air "it's fucking brilliant."

It works. It's easy enough... and to be honest, absolutely none of us, save for some very real-time, low-latency, applications, have a good reason to not use it... unless you like painting bike sheds ;)

Oh, and since it's REST, you even get nice things like logs that are useful... cough GraphQL cough
There's a possibility that a discontinuity in data analysis might have an impact on fundamental physics.

Many dark matter detection experiments rely on detecting an annual modulation, i.e. an excess of detection events later in the year, when the Earth would be going into the 'dark matter wind'. This helps one distinguish the desired signal from backgrounds that don't change throughout the year, like cosmic rays or ambient radioactivity.

One particular experiment has been claiming a positive detection for two decades, leading to a lot of confusion in the field. It was recently argued [0] that this is due to a discontinuity in their data analysis. The team might be analyzing their annual modulation by subtracting out the average rate in each year, leading to a discontinuity at each year boundary. So if their detection rate is slowly going up, e.g. due to detector aging, it would look like an annual modulation, where the rate is lower in the beginning of the year and higher at the end!

It does (also) end up being about the right to die, because some people need assistance in dying, and those who help them are criminalized.

In a nutshell, a right whose realization you cannot delegate to another person is not a bona fide right.

Of course, delegating suicide to someone results in homicide, so everything you write is spot on.

But the effect is only those who do not need help have the right to die; those who need help effectively do not.
I love Clojure, but I felt like 90% of the time it took me to “learn” Clojure was spent actually learning how to use emacs and working with a REPL. Once you get it down, it’s easy to be super productive, though.

> But I would take any functional language with types over it

Which is what? Scala? Haskell? OCaml? F#? Typed Racket? Idris?

I think Clojure really hits the sweet-spot between stupidly boring, "pragmatic" PLs and idealistic, novelty, academic ones.

Haskell is awesome, but realistically it is really difficult to quickly train someone to the point of them being able to write production-ready Haskell code.

Scala has its own warts (besides, Kotlin seems to be slowly eating its pie);

OCaml still struggling to get any recognition in the industry, despite all attempts from a few good players.

I disagree with the notion that Clojure is not suited for large projects, but I agree that Spec needs to be improved (and it is being actively worked on). And I don't think it is not well thought out. Rich Hickey is famous for slowly, carefully, patiently designing things. Stability and predictability of Clojure and its standard library is phenomenal. For every single language (even those I have never worked with) I can probably name a thing or two off my head that involved breaking changes. Not for Clojure.

It’s not a cliff and sounds like a step in the right direction, but it’s still effectively a 63%+whatever marginal tax rate.

Are you arguing there is no such thing as essential complexity? In that case it would be possible to compress any program down to one bit, without moving the complexity elsewhere.
Are you targeting a specific genre or is this all around composition? After pro tools blew up with Catalina I’m fed up and am looking for a replacement daw.

Algorithms that gave me floating-point related problems:

- Fast polygon triangulation/partitioning. There's a reason why people use ear clipping in practice despite it having bad asymptotic time complexity. Even ear clipping isn't very useful for robust path rendering because it doesn't handle self-intersection. Tiling and stenciling to compute winding numbers is a much more robust approach than tessellation.

- Generation of bounding geometry for analytic antialiasing of polygon edges, to work around the lack of conservative rasterization on GPUs. Skia has impressive code that handles this, but it is incredibly painful and I decided it wasn't worth it.

- Determining polygon convexity. This even led to a security bug in Skia [1].

- Clipping of Bézier paths, especially in homogeneous coordinates. Yes, this even includes clipping to axis-aligned rects. It's too hard. Convert to triangles or quads and clip those.

- Any sort of Boolean operation on Bézier paths, if you want reliable results. Leave those to applications like Illustrator, where artists can notice if the algorithm goes wrong and fix it up manually when it does.

I share some of your skepticism, but I think this particular paper is worth a little less cynicism. It’s true that statistical analysis has always helped inform medicinal chemistry efforts. They used to be called QSAR ;) What’s different here is the scale of information that was processed. As you point out the computational power and therefore the algorithms we can apply has enabled different experiments which I very much hope will yield better and more abundant medicines. Papers like this are a sign of these methods bearing fruit!

Regarding the "basics to everyone" for programs, they're typically labeled "universal", and there are a number of advantages to universal programs:

1. They tend to be more resilient to budget cuts since everyone is bought in.

2. They don't have the discontinuities mentioned in the article.

I have sympathy for their economic problems, absolutely. But they vote for the party that's primarily responsible for those economic problems. Over the past 40 years, the middle class has been hollowed out, and that's been done primarily thanks to Reagan. Before Reagan, the US had more left-wing economic policies and a stronger middle class. They'd be better off voting for Sanders than Trump. Trump hasn't realy done anything for them except some symbolic gestures, but he has made it harder for them to export their agricultural products.

They keep voting for the party that's hurting them, because that party keeps lying to them, and they keep buying those lies.

I come from a country with serious sewage issues. Most of it is government operated sewage works that are just not maintained and were due for upgrade 10-20 years ago. The issue is also an order of magnitude worse in some areas than in others.

The Gates Foundation is not relevant here, in that problem field, in any meaningful way. It is an issue about operational structure and unit cost structure. Tax money gets spent on black Mercedes cars instead of what it is supposed to be spent on.

Also, it is not a technological issue at all. In terms of tech for sewage treatment, the path forward is clear. In terms of politics it is not.
I don't even think it gives really any plausible deniability, I don't think you could buy this, burn down your house, and expect to collect the insurance.

Sure! To a first approximation they both provide software packages to pharma who then apply those to their efforts. In our case we are building an integrated system with a biochemical component and a computational component. We will then seek out molecules to difficult targets ourselves because we believe the integration gives us a competitive advantage.
A Negative Income Tax which phases out would work too (though I think a UBI would be more popular and thus resilient to budget cuts, as Alaska has shown).

It however greatly limits one of the biggest enjoyment in my life, namely food. THAT is the future -- as I age , more and more things I could do I won't be able to. I bought a rolling carry on for the first time today because I recognize running around with a stuffed backpack is not cutting it any more. Already I needed to limit how much I can sightsee on foot.

"It's not difficult to obtain the means for relatively comfortable suicide"

Except that so many people botch their suicides, and then have to live a life that's really worse than death. Or they try again, some fail again. And again. And again. Each time with agonizing, terrifying, miserable results.

They usually have to hide their attempts, too, so they can't be surrounded by loved ones, can't talk about their plans or feelings with loved ones, and can't be in a familiar place for fear of being stopped.

Sometimes other people are unintentionally harmed as others risk their own lives to stop them, or the chosen method (such as running out in to traffic) inherently endangers the lives of others.

All this misery and terror could be avoided if there was a legal way to end one's own life safely, reliably, comfortably, without stigma, and with dignity.
