I think obviously it's much _easier_ to create a mess in Clojure this way, but I think in most sane codebases the pure and impure stuff is quite neatly demarcated. Generally people have learned to structure systems as some sort of root data structure containing various components, which can be started, stopped or reset at will. You have to put that in place yourself, but I've not worked on a project where it's been an issue in many years.

For what it's worth, I have found dynamically loading new libraries at runtime easier in Clojure than Haskell, which is another source of REPL friction for me, although I rarely use the latter these days.

> I only have one example of why;

I think there are plenty of reasons why. But if someone's arguments are good, it does not matter who they are. If someone doesn't want the limelight, that is fine. I mean look here, my handle isn't my name. Though I wouldn't call it exactly anonymous/secret either.

> it's more difficult for people to engage with a nuanced opinion.

It is more difficult, but recognize that a common fallacy is "my opinion is nuanced, and yours is simple."

Which you experience here

> ascribed a set of beliefs to me which I did not hold

There's a tactic that I've found that has a decent success rate. The key comes down to that language is messy and that it is difficult to capture someone's nuanced position quickly. Your brain fills in missing information and does the best it can to figure out what the other person is trying to say. There's three parts to communication: what you mean, what you say, and what is heard. So if you don't know that these things are different and that your brain is filling in stuff (that this goes both ways) you're going to have a difficult time communicating, especially in a divided time with extra tribalism. This is essentially why divide and rule/conquer tactics work, because we are actually unable to communicate with one another.

So if you recognize this and when it is happening, stop the conversation. Divert and establish a foundation. "Hey, I think we're having some miscommunication. When you mean x do you mean f(x) or g(x)?" Then you listen carefully and don't interrupt (I bet they will develop nuance, if not they will add more later). At some point it is natural for you to speak again and address the misunderstanding and explain your nuanced point. If they start interrupting calmly explain "Hey, I have a nuanced point and I do not feel like I'm being able to finish an idea and thus we won't be on the same page and both be frustrated. I would like to finish the idea first." Because you listened to them carefully before and gave them time they now feel obliged to do this. The whole conversation has slowed down but everyone is now speaking the same language and hostility is gone. The pace will naturally pick back up.

As an example I was talking with my roommate the other night and we were getting heated. I had to apply this method and basically say "Hey, we're throwing in too many things at once. I don't feel like I can finish an idea before I address a specific issue. It is impossible to for me to talk about 30 different and nuanced subjects at once." He did slow down. Mind you he also said "Well that's how <insert nationality> people speak, I guess we can just handle that many topics." Don't let that kind of thing phase you, because if you want to have a real conversation you have the be the better person. This is probably the hardest part (let someone make themselves the asshole and let them realize it, you don't always have to point it out).

tldr: disengage, slow down, reestablish definitions, reengage.

But if you want to fight, win, or get one up on the other person, these techniques will not help you accomplish that.
That's not strictly true, and anyway it's different for the app developer versus a library provider. If you're making a 3rd party SDK that can throw, you need to make it can catch those throws.
There's a meta-issue with pushing regulatory requirements that are trivial to bypass: you effectively normalize bypassing regulations and effectively create a culture where regulatory bypass is seen as "not a big deal" even if that wasn't your original intent.

People have been using VPNs because they think region-locking streaming content is something where the risk-reward calculus is fairly obvious, and from what I can see that's a fairly normalized cultural trend.

If you do the same thing with porn, you are now adding another layer of depth to the emergent cultural phenomena.

If you think there needs to be a serious conversation about porn access and psychology, implementing restrictions trivial to bypass only serves to reduce the legitimacy of agents trying to make the case for such education.

Edit: you also see this phenomenon with respect to COVID mask mandates
> Do you find HL:A to be a good Half-Life game first and foremost? Do you feel it has the top-notch environmental storytelling and attention to detail that the series is known for? Does it make good use of VR's potential?

Yes, 100%. It's the best VR game I've played and I own ~30. Its the only VR game I've played for more than ~1.5 hours straight (I finished Alyx in 2 4 hour sessions and 1 3 hour session).

It's not a novelty. There's segments in the game (particularly at the end) that are incredibly engrossing as a result of VR.
The definition of vile is getting ridiculous. Today its seems anyone is a "violent racist" if they don't agree 100% with BLM's mission statement. I'm sorry, you have to live in a world where there are people who have different opinions.

By adding a boundary with financial implications, you also incentivize businesses to ensure employees don't cross it.

I don't have a good replacement mechanism that keeps benefits tied to employment and isn't complex and likely prone to other perverse incentives. But at the very least, we should be clear about what the incentives end up being.

Which is why I think the right answer is to decouple things like healthcare from employment.
You seem to believe the phrase "freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences" implicitly justifies all possible consequences. It doesn't, it merely implies that speech doesn't exist in a vacuum, and that the consequences of speech often, themselves, are as much a manifestation of free expression as the original speech.

Your own counterclaim, however, that "freedom from anything means freedom from the consequences of that thing" does not even allow for the reasonable, non-arbitrary consequences you're supporting, here.

You, I and tw04 are actually in violent agreement, but it seems your politics doesn't allow you to concede the possibility that the "other side" can hold a reasonable opinion.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm on reddit but I haven't posted in a while, so I'm not sure if what you saw was mine.

Actionable software metrics is extremely hard to create, which is why we are often left with VERY LOW hanging fruit metrics or novelty metrics, as I like to call them. I honestly believe we are at a point now, where hardware is cheap and good enough, that we can generate very meaningful software metrics.

With GitPrime having sold for 180 USD in cash, and with GitHub and GitLab both investing in software development insights, there is a clear sign that managers and business leaders want to know what is going on. Unfortunately what we have now, in my opinion, borders on snake oil, which I'm hoping to use to my advantage to contrast my solution with others.

One thing of note is that 1000-base-T and G.991 (marketed as SHDSL/HDSL/SDSL depending on country/telco) is somewhat similar technology that is hard to classify as being baseband or broadband. One of my somewhat more absurd networking experiences was using SHDSL as “LAN with cheap wire” on anime convention. We had few hundred meters of flat phone “tinsel wire” left over from previous project and I had somehow acquired bunch of Cisco 17xxs and WIC-1SHDSL line cards. It worked well enough for our purposes and I learned one thing: plain G.991 works over random wire reasonably, while G.991bis with enabled channel bonding does not (probably because of crosstalk).

Edit: one notable thing was that we tested the whole setup beforehand with same cables, but coiled. And all the links were capable of at least 3Mbps. Once we unraveled the cables on the site most of the links were unable to train at more than 512kbps in two-pair mode, but worked reliably at 1.5Mbps in single-pair mode.
Fair question. Certainly Microsoft wants Duo to succeed. But PWABuilder been pushing for PWAs in App Stores for years -- we also support MacOS, Samsung Galaxy Store, Microsoft Store, and others. (We're talking with Apple now to enable PWAs in iOS app store as well.)

This collaboration with Google took place because Google revamped their "PWAs in the Store" story. It used to be a very basic story: a native app wrapping a web view that loads your PWA. Those worked, but didn't support some modern APIs (e.g. service worker, IIRC), didn't share cookies and login information with the browser, and other problems.

Google revamped the story here to a more first-class approach for PWAs in their Store. It's called "Trusted Web Activities."

And earlier this year, Google created Bubblewrap, a command line tool to generate a proper Trusted Web Activity for publishing in their Store. So we wanted to take advantage of that new and better approach. That's really our reason for collaboration here.

I think you just described TikTok.
Can you elaborate why it could be a good thing for users?

Not being able to reliably store data on the device means that PWAs have to send the users data over the internet and store it on an external server. I would think users rather do not like that.

I am only talking about installed PWAs here. Of course not every website should be able to avoid having its cookies deleted.
A "ton" of work may have been an exaggeration.

Maintaining a CA (and dealing with cert rotation) is some work.

Other things are indeed just a flag or config option (like jumphosts). But it takes work for a sysadmin/devops to educate all engineers in the company and make sure everyone uses the correct setup and doesn't end up dropping authorized_keys around random servers.

It's not that difficult technically as it is socially.

> I would say taking a selfie is a form of front stage behavior, albeit a more egalitarian one.

I think this hinges on whether the person taking the photo is aware of the people around them at that point in time. If they really aren't thinking about them at all, it's essentially "authentic" back-stage behavior. If you don't realize someone is looking in your bathroom window while taking a shower, you probably can't be honestly claimed to be making a social performance in there.

If they are deliberately considering the people around them when taking the photo is part of the audience for their act, then, yes, it's clearly front-stage behavior.

In practice, it is probably some shade of gray between these two extremes. The line between front stage and back stage is always somewhat blurry.

> Why should someone interact with something that the author doesn't throw his/her/their name into?

so interesting, for me "throwing one's name" into things is definitely a negative. It's the content which matters, not the person :-) and hopefully I'm able to judge whether the content is good or not (else does it really matter that I read it anyways if I'm not even able to do that / fact check / etc. ?).

But then I come from a culture where the word "individualist" is an insult so maybe that has some influence.

> What workloads are so massively parallel that they can use 64 cores of x86 but can’t use the thousands of CUDA cores on a Quadro card?

I'm a bit behind on GPU architecture, but presumably workloads which are branch-heavy, lack coherent execution within a warp (see dragontamer's comment), and don't make use of floating-point.

You are looking at taxes. There is probably more taxes in the form of health insurance / retirement thing. It's incomparable to Europe since in most EU countries you probably get some coverage in return to the money you paid while, in third-world countries, health care is sub-bar or non-existent.

As for retirement, inflation will probably eat that.

I bought the xeon from Ebay at a discount about three years ago, when it was still fairly new. It was some sort of engineering sample and I paid about $3K for it while the list price was at least a multiple higher. We used it for CPU rendering for several years and I've only recently repurposed it for a development workstation, as we moved to software that can utilize GPU rendering. These days I almost certainly buy an AMD Threadripper or Epyc for a development workstation.

> I can't go in to a job interview and call the panel a bunch of cunts and then expect to be hired. That's a consequence of speech "administered outside the law".

I think there is a distinction between speech as an insult directed at specific people and speech that tries to argue for a general idea or opinion (for example see "fighting words").

> Free association is also a right that needs to be protected.

But we already limit it. For example, unless you are a religious institution hiring for a specific religious role, you cannot use "free association" to hire only members of your preferred religion. A church can require that it's pastor be a Christian. In-n-Out Burger cannot require that the cashier be a Christian.

If you look at the struggle for equality in the United States and elsewhere, the oppressed have relied on the right and principle of free speech to call attention to and better the injustice. The people in power, have heavily relied on the right of free association to preserve their privilege: for example clubs that only admitted men, or excluded Jews or Black people.

I find it interesting that in this time when we are so concerned about privilege, the right that has been used by the privileged ("Free Association") is being elevated while the right that has actually been used by the oppressed ("Free Speech") is coming under a lot of criticism.
Everything should have some form of skepticism. The more ridiculous thing being presented, the more skepticism you should apply.
