I don't think so. The rape case really just acts as a vessel to provide standing to litigate the larger question of the reservation.

Without the rape case they wouldn't have had a reason to challenge the questions about the res but now that the Supreme Court has resolved the larger question it's applicable across the board.

It could have just as easily been a case about shoplifting or murder or anything else. In fact, last term there was a case similar to this that was about a murder, where the defendant was sentenced to death by the state and they argued that the state didn't have jurisdiction. Gorsuch heard the appeal in the circuit court so recused himself from the SCOTUS case and the belief it was deadlocked 4-4, so they took this case and made the ruling with a full nine Justices.
"As with so many controversial court rulings like the ACA mandate case, our courts keep getting put into the decision because of the massive failure that congress is. Congress should either fulfill the promise or not, or whatever. instead the judicial bodies end up making legal judgements with big ramifcations that largely should be left to the legislative body.
"

Agreed. Congress is way too addicted to political grandstanding and partial fighting instead of making laws to clarify the situation. It seems pretty clear that with all the 5-4 divisions the Constitution is not precise enough to decide these things unambiguously.
>I think this article is holding Scott, and a core constituency of posters and meet up people, guilty by association with every rando on the internet, and also about half of the celebrities in the Bay area.

Tying Scott and Silicon Valley together is another case where I simply do not understand the way reporters/journos draw cultural ties, boundaries, allegiances, and opposition.

It's like looking at twitter to form an opinion about the market for a product instead of doing market research. Voiced opinions from the type of people to voice their opinions on twitter are insanely different than the purchase habits of the population. But every day some journo is acting like Twitter is a useful cultural barometer.

My (not too confident) assessment is that Scott and whatever amalgamation of "tech" / "the internet" they're lumping in with him are just people that look like the pre-iPhone internet era: online often, and willing to venture into open communication for the sake of the ideas and discussion. That happens to weigh toward computery jobs, where reading (and sometimes writing) online resources are large part of the job and competitors openly collaborate online.

So, you feel the web should be more simplified? Or is it more that you want to keep the complexity, but also want good standards to be followed across all browser vendors (e.g. banish CSS prefixes and Chrome-only JS APIs etc)?

What about the wide range of web apps the new APIs enable? Do you think they should be catered for somehow?
"The Court could have made clear that the solution respondents seek must come from the Legislative Branch."

In this case, that's exactly what the majority concluded. In layman's terms, this is a decision that says, "We aren't doing a thing. Congress made a promise. If you want to rescind it, go talk to congress, not us."
It's so funny how this community falls squarely on the "Opt-out is bad!" side except for the internet archive!
I worked on a SaaS project who's customers are companies in an old-fashioned industry. A common requirement was that their data shouldn't be stored in the same database tables as any other customer. They were fine with it being co-located on the same cloud servers, using the same credentials... as long as their data wasn't on the same tables. So I used postgres templates to make a database per customer.

Didn't make much sense to me either but whatever pays the bills I guess.
yea "Metz declined to comment on the record" is the author strongly hinting that he did talk to him off the record, and perhaps the author does have some idea what Metz' article would have ultimately been about.

Interesting move, putting “SLA-driven” infrastructure engineers (i.e. people working at public clouds to deliver Redis-as-a-Service solutions) in charge of the project. (Not just these two from AWS and Alibaba Cloud, but the rest being from Redis Labs.)

It seems like, for one reason or another (Redis Labs because they want to sell their “core plus proprietary modules” service; the clouds because they want to push you to use their other products for use-cases that fit them better), all the new leadership has reason to want to not add any more developer-facing features to Redis Core. I expect the Redis Core you see right now, is the same Redis Core we’ll have 10 years from now, client-API wise. Redis, as a USP, is “done.”

Unless, that is, some third-party comes in with their own polished feature PR, and pushes really hard for it. In other words, Redis is kind of moving to the Linux kernel model, where “new use-case out of nowhere” features come in mostly not from internal development, but rather from external contributors petitioning the core-maintainership priesthood with reasons their patch should be upstreamed.

Either way, there’ll certainly continue to be plenty of ops-staff-facing innovations, bug-fixes and polish. That’s what gets this new core team up in the morning. I’m sure people running Redis in production are happy about that.

It's not just that. Timezones are the real bugger. Microsoft has their own list of names separate from the standard IANA timezones, for example. If it weren't for timezones, IMO dates are pretty damn trivial. It's just a matter of storing and transferring them properly (in UTC, always!)

We need more Civics classes for students.

Branches of the Federal Government being put into the decision because of a massive failure of another is exactly why we have 3 branches. It's rock-paper-scissors. Checks and balances. Which is why, for instance, people squawk so much when the executive branch imagines itself new powers it was not granted.

> This was his dissent on DACA. Agree or disagree with the program that allows undocumented immigrants to stay and go to school, I don't care. It's not legislative, it's not judicial, it was a program by DHS setup under the last administration. Now the court rules the current administration can't undo the program? It's bizzare.

It didn't rule that the current administration can't undo the program, it ruled that the administration has to properly justify that decision, and not doing so is unlawful.

At no point did it rule on DACA itself, or prevent the administration from providing actual, motivated and legal reasoning for rescinding the program.

Also

Cheap integration tests is usually an oxymoron (when cheap refers to the tightness of the developer feedback loop).

Gary was coming from the land of Ruby-on-rails where a full set of integration tests could take hours. In that environment, structuring your code to enable easy testing of complex logic makes a lot of sense.

Likewise in a large enterprise environment, where integration testing across a (usually messy) set of interconnected dependencies is a pipe dream.

It's true that over-architecting is something to be wary of, but as usual, there's no one-size-fits-all answer.
There was a lot of support internally to open source Flash, but the reality is that Adobe used a lot of partner solutions that have patents to improve Flash for various needs-- video DRM is one example, but there's other more practical features that used patents too. The work to remove all the patents would have taken at least 6m to a year, and that's far too much investment for no ROI.
Not entirely true, because a singleton can implement defensive logic and maintain coordination state that is difficult with a global variable. For something like a unique hardware resource a singleton that administrates the resource can do things like enforce queueing on components that want to communicate with the hardware resource, and make decisions about which components to notify when the resource responds.
Unlawful acts, performed long enough and with sufficient vigor, are never enough to amend the law. To hold otherwise would be to elevate the most brazen and longstanding injustices over the law, both rewarding wrong and failing those in the right.

I disagree with this reasoning.

As a counterexample I point you to squatters rights. If I live on your land long and openly enough, my unlawful act will confer ownership of the land to me. This principle is not only recognized in our courts, but the clarity that it provides around ownership is a major foundation of our economic system. The reason is that before ownership was clarified with this principle, our land was covered by a mess of overlapping and contradictory claims to ownership of the land. But with a clear owner, however established, that owner can now use their ownership as collateral.

For a book-length treatment of that thesis I point you at https://www.amazon.com/Mystery-Capital-Capitalism-Triumphs-E....

But this decision opens up the legal status of half of Oklahoma for debate, while other tribes around the nation are going to be thinking about which further claims they can now press.

You don't have to depend on badly-written untyped third-party libraries, just because there are a lot of them out there. Many projects and companies will avoid doing so. This is especially reasonable if your comparison is switching to a language like Rust; there are probably fewer third-party libraries available in Rust overall than there are libraries with accurate TypeScript definitions available.

Currently I am quite often making mock-ups for several devices for pre-sales. Making the mock-ups and then fitting them into device frames was always a bit cumbersome.

There are already several websites serving this kind of service, but many of them require an e-mail or they are sending my mock-ups to a server.

I was wondering if this couldn't be done simply by HTML5 canvas locally by the browser. And I also wanted to train my TypeScript skills for React, so I combined the two and this is the result :)

> (As an aside, congress has ceded much of it's lawmaking authority to federal agencies anyway -- so even if they didn't pass any new laws, the legal code will still change every year.)

Normally this wouldn't be so bad, Congress is bad at making small evidence based changes on a reasonable timeline so instead they setup the rules for making the rules and the goals and instantiate or grant that authority to a division of the executive. Unfortunately it seems the courts have become very enthralled to varying degrees to the unitary executive theory which makes corralling that power more difficult.
I fear things are going to get worse soon. By ignoring the pandemic and encouraging the economy to reopen we are seeing a resurgence of the virus and squandering all of the very real capital we spent on the initial shutdown. We are going to alienate and reduce our foreign trade as Americans are going to be banned from travelling to nations where the virus is under control. We have no proof yet of gained immunity once one has had the virus so people could very well get sick again. Compounding this is a massive culture war where one side is deriding science and expertise.

Unemployment is going to continue at a massive pace and soon state level governments will start running into funding issues if they have not already. The federal government has shown a reluctance to help out there. Now the federal government is calling for schools to reopen with no plan to do so and is very soon going to force both people and teachers to make awful choices.

The plan of ignore the virus, its going to disappear very soon and lets move on with our lives is very clearly not working. The rest of the world realized this, why haven't we?
I don't think there's a consensus on that. Regarding words that some persons find deeply offensive:

- Some readers feel that using such words should be avoided simply because it's emotionally hurtful to certain individuals. Or because it reinforces beliefs they find abhorrent. Or for the pragmatic reason that it tends to end constructive discussion.

- Other readers feel that having policies against using such words does more harm than good, and stifles free and honest discussion. And coddles individuals who are too easily offended, when they should in fact use it as an opportunity to mature.

I think HN's audience skews more towards that first group. I'm sure other forums exist that skew the other way.
Scott encouraged people to raise objections in a civil way, and he really stressed that point. And yet both you and the article somehow accuse him of orchestrating a harassment campaign despite evidence to the contrary. Honest question, what else could he’ve done?

I find this an interesting reaction. Could you defend "clearly intended"? I feel familiar with Scott's writing, and familiar with his audience, and I think his clear intention was exactly what he said --- "please be polite" and "I will be very sad if you are a jerk".

I could understand if you said "I took it to mean" or "He should have been aware that some people would take it to mean", but what gives you the confidence to say "clearly intended"? Are you sure you're familiar enough with his writing and his audience to make this claim?

The court rules that the current administration can't undo it simply by waking up one morning and say "I wish that it be done;" it actually has to go through a process to explain why it is taking the decision it is, which is the same process it had to do to enact the program in the first place.

I want to believe in it, but the skeptic in me wants to ask how this isn't a vehicle for the rich to get richer: If every $25 gets you a ticket, then someone with a $50 account has far worse odds than someone with a $5000 account.

Of course, the $50 person has nothing to lose, but there's also a sense of dejection.

Perhaps a cap on the total number of tickets an account can have?
