> > In the U.S. executive orders simply don't and can't have the force of law without the support of statutory law, not relative to civilians[0]. If you want a law, it needs to be passed as a statute by the appropriate legislature and must become law via all the usual mechanisms.

> This isn't true for many reasons including: the federal government controls a lot of what happens in the country indirectly and executive orders can decide what the law means (even if that meaning goes against what the law intended). Executive orders can for example suspend immigration. That absolutely affects civilians in an extremely practical way. More fundamentally, this kind of statement totally ignores how the legal system in the US works practically. Yes, there are laws, but laws are vague and must be interpreted. The federal government makes rules that interpret laws. These rules are what the law "is" practically. There is wide disagreement about what rules a particular law allows or doesn't allow. Executive orders can and do change these rules.

The President most definitely cannot promulgate Executive Orders that have the force of law without supporting statutory law from Congress. There is no argument about this in U.S. constitutional jurisprudence.

Presidential power is highest in military and foreign policy, and at its lowest in domestic policy. Immigration falls into foreign policy. Also, there's two plus centuries of statutes that delegate some Congressional powers to the Executive, such as tariff powers.

> > Also, the U.S. Constitution's requirement that State governments be (small-r) republican

> There is no such requirement. This was also not about federal constitutional law, it was about the constitution of Wisconsin.

This was addressed by other commenters.

> > This was a decision by a court, not a question of whether the people support their governments

> Only in the narrowest sense. It was a decision by a party, not a court. Republicans put their judges in power and the Republican judges made a decision. In that sense the US is absolutely unlike any other democracy in the world.

That is an outrageous take. The justices in question are elected, not nominated. (IIRC there's a nomination-then-election system in Wisconsin.)

The U.S. is a republic, which means it has stringent procedural rules. Some aspects of American governance are very democratic, some are less, and some are practically not -- that's how it was setup in 1787-1789, and all of that has remained essentially unchanged since then. None of this is new.

I think you're right and I sincerely think that this gets easier with time. Practice makes perfect and subjecting yourself to the process on the regular makes it less stressful when you actually need it to go well for you. In an unforgiving sense, I simply believe this is part of the job. I'm not saying it's right, but it is what it is.

Personally, I interview at another company every 6-12 months. It's not so often as to be a significant burden, but it is frequent enough to be a reality check if I'm getting rusty or if employers are starting to expect more of me (because my seniority is increasing). Recruiters are so busy trying to find bodies you're unlikely to burn any bridges by just going through the motions to see if you're a fit. Hell, I have an ongoing relationship with a Google recruiter that I talk to every other year or so just to see what's up--I've never worked for Google, but I have interviewed there a few times, a few times with success and others without it. Worst case, they don't give you an offer and you walk away with an understanding of what your weaknesses are. Best case, you get an offer and maybe it's a better one, you now have a better job.

It's been normalized a long time ago. For women, using dating apps like Tinder is akin to a guy browsing through an escort service website, choosing the hottest escort he can find... with the only difference that the guy ends up paying (in both cases!). And in our "modern" and "progressive" culture I guess it's empowering for a woman to sleep with hundreds of men until she decides to settle down with some simp.

You are missing the whole point. Facebook (and Youtube etc) do not simply show you all opinions in the world at the same time with equal weight. They select things for you to view based on your prior interactions with the website. So they can emphasize and deemphasize articles and videos to show you next. Across their entire userbase selecting articles that are based in reality will have a large effect.

Maybe I'm too much of a pragmatist, but to me, the amount of available libraries and the quality of the implementations is part of what "superior" means.

That's not a great comparison at all though. The K80 is a general purpose chip while the T4 is explicitly marketed as an inference chip. The K80 has more ram (super important for batch sizes during training), can access that ram faster (480 GB/s versus 320 GB/s), and is an overall more powerful chip than the T4 is.
I find it useful to write out a workflow of things the code will need to do from a high level.

Ex: “Validate form input” or “filter API response based on submitted criteria”

Those become doc blocks for functions and classes.

Then I break those down into more granular directives still more abstract than pseudo code.

Ex: “determine whether name input is alphabetical” or “iterate response. check contents of all 3 phone fields against submitted value”

Writing both code and tests against that then becomes nearly trivial.
I can get behind movements like this. But, if it takes longer on public transit to get from a to b, even if it's an unusual, unpopular, or unprofitable route then I'll fight tooth and nail. I spent many years riding transit 6 days a week 90-120 minutes each way, sometimes 4 ways for work and school on terrible routes, on dirty, foul smelling, cramped transit filled with the forsaken and forgotten souls of my city. These 90-120m transit rides take a mere 5-15 minutes by car. Cycling and walking are even less practical in my area. In buying a vehicle I've spent more money, but saved something like 700 hours a year. I've also been able to enjoy my areas attractions, and amenities more. If you're going to get my support on a ballot initiative then you'll need to preserve those time savings and save me money.

Fast, cheap mass transit is possible, but the large auto makers won't let it happen unless it's over their rotting corpses.

Touting the benefits won't sway the opinions of people whose livelihood depends on them not understanding the wastefulness of car culture. We're talking about fast, safe, clean, cheap, sustainable, and rugged mass transit on a scale and timeline that our entire world has never come close to accomplishing. Entire cities would have to be remapped. We're talking tens of millions of skilled to highly skilled trades jobs backed by battalions of desk jockeys greasing the cogs at what would inevitably cost in the trillions.

So, while I respect your opinion, it's not one based in reality. There's a lot of political and economic baggage to unwind before such massive projects that threaten so many massive balance sheets could ever gain major political support. National recreational drug legalization, regulation, and commercialisation is far more likely.
Yes yes yes. I am saving this comment I can quote it again in the future.

The development of any number of now widely accepted truths went through periods where they were viewed incredibly skeptically.

It's inconceivable to me that anyone could even want to _have_ the argument of wanting a central censor again. Haven't we already had this battle enough times? Is the evidence not incontrovertible that societies where people are free to speak and exchange ideas are better than societies that are not?

It's rational, I think, to want our software to offer warnings and controls that let us, _as individuals_, choose to hide, filter, or shrink-wrap certain information. Completely surrendering that trust to someone else is utterly insane.

As much as I'd like to hammer on Facebook for this, they're just one of many, many questionable actors here.

Almost 10 years ago, I conducted an experiment. I watched an hour of CNN every night but it was never that night's coverage. It was from exactly two weeks ago.

It was amazing how much "breaking news!" was irrelevant or just outright wrong, how many large trend predictions were wrong, and how many "[person] will do X" were wrong. While the predictions could have been portrayed as opinions, they were presented as facts and the obvious next steps or conclusions.

I realized pretty quickly that avoiding CNN kept out the blatantly wrong information so even if I didn't replace it with anything, I was net ahead.

A few years ago, I discovered this article and realized that some portion of it was probably on purpose:

Show HN: Gather everything that happens regarding a user on a timeline
Hey folks,

We have a SaaS that is running pretty well for a couple of years, but we always felt blind when it came to our users. Out of frustration, we developed our own tool that gathers everything that happens regarding a user on a timeline.

It allows us to visualize the journey of a user, by showing us all the actions taken for or by a user; both across our product and the different tools we use.

Few friends asked me if they could try it for their own startups a few weeks ago. We gave them access and they really loved it. So we thought we should make it available for everyone and run it as a side project. We called it Stories (https://www.getstories.io/).

What would be your top use case for such a tool ?

The difference between Einstein working in the patent office and the 'armchair physicist' isn't that we live in a more cynical era. The difference is that Einstein submitted his work to be published in a reputable journal. If you have some ideas and don't want to be called an 'armchair scientist,' you are free to publish in a preprint journal and it will probably get accepted if the work is good. It has never been easier in history for an individual to share their scientific ideas with the world.

Personally, I could do away with all the armchair epidemiologists that have come out from the woodwork during this pandemic, and would much rather people and politicians be getting their information from experts who publish their thoughts for the scientific community.

If facebook could offer at least as much moderation as the newspaper stand of yore, the world would be a much less polarized place imo.

> NVidia is not to blame if the competition is stuck using C, printf debugging for computing shaders, cannot make their minds about which bytecode to support for heterogenous GPGPU programming.

I don't bite this argument.

Nvidia made close to no effort to support OpenCL and promoted their own technology CUDA. Even in 2020, OpenCL support for Nvidia hardware is close to nonexistent.

When the main actor of the market does not support a technology, why the hell would you use it or even develop its ecosystem (SYSCL)

> The situation is so bad that OpenCL 1.2 got promoted to OpenCL 3.0 and SYSCL is now backend independent.

OpenCL 3.0, presented by an Nvidia official(https://khr.io/ocl3slidedeck), head of the working group on it. A company that made close to 0 effort to support OpenCL 2.0 revert the spec to 1.2. Astonishing right ?
I've encountered takehome problems more often these days, but they've always been in addition to leetcode interviews, not instead of.

As one example, a "mid-tier" company gave me homework to do, which I spent a lot of time and effort to do a good job. The team apparently was impressed - supposedly I had one of the best solutions, and I got to the onsite. Then the onsite had two leetcode rounds, one of which I struggled with. I got rejected. I don't know the exact reasons of course, but considering I felt the rest of the interview seemed to go great, I suspect it's the leetcode problem I failed to get the superoptimal solutino for that killed me.

Nowadays my policy is to just reject any company that gives me homework to do as part of their interview loop. More often than not it's a waste of time. The exception would be companies like FAANG or other "top" companies. I'd definitely still do homework for Coinbase or Stripe.

Some company I've never heard of or some non-tech company? Nope. At least studying leetcode scales horizontally across many companies.

The domain nowhere.com is real and has MX records pointing to email-hosting.net.au, which appears to have an Exim SMTP server running. Is nobody@nowhere.com meant for public use as a fake email address, or is it just something of yours, or what?

When I need an email address for something that should not need my email address and for which I have no interest whatsoever in receiving any emails sent to, I use something @mouse-potato.com.

Mouse-potato.com was registered in 1997 by, if I remember correctly, the owner of the Seattle ISP Northwest Nexus. Northwest Nexus is long gone, but he or someone has kept mouse-potato.com alive ever since.

The MX record for mouse-potato.com points to mail.mouse-potato.com. The A record for that, www.mouse-potato.com, and mouse-potato.com all give 127.0.0.1.

Give some spammer an @mouse-potato.com address, and hopefully they send the spam from the same machine their own SMTP server is on, and so end up just trying to send it to themselves.

After he registered it, he stated publicly that it was specifically registered for Northwest Nexus customers, and anyone else who wanted to use it, for making fake email addresses.

There is no way, currently, to deduce vanilla javascript types. You'll have to write your own bindings (types) or as you pointed out, use community bindings on redex.

But as someone who writes/reviews both Typescript and Reason, pretty much every day, there is space for both projects, so I don't see that gap as being relevant to the survival of Reason--rather, its something that with hard word will be improved over time.
