From my experiences, healthcare advice is designed for the most likely scenario given an imaginary average person- and it is incredibly important to take an active role in conversations with medical professionals (I suppose unless you happen to be perfectly average in every way and experiencing the most likely ailment given your description).

FTA: "...the LightSpeed bug was fixed in iOS 12 with a patch that didn't address the root cause and instead just turned the race condition double-free into a memory leak. Then, in iOS 13, this memory leak was identified as a bug and "fixed" by reintroducing the original bug, again without addressing the root cause of the issue..."

Ooof. Talk about running in circles. Either this was someone who is swamped with work and spaced out, or a new programmer who wasn't familiar with the original. Oddly, I feel bad for both of them!
Thanks for this.

1. We don't really think of it as being closer to one vs the other. From a front-end perspective, it's closer to a lottery/sweepstakes. But from a back-end perspective it's more of a savings account with a twist. So maybe I'd say right smack in the middle of that spectrum on a blended basis.

there's nothing wrong with a federal system, the problem is specifically with the US's system and how there are too many "veto points". Checks and balances and getting policy accomplished are essentially opposing goals. If you allow tons of "veto points" where having literally any control of any branch of government allows you to grind policy to a halt, then getting anything done relies hugely on gentlemanly good-faith.

In a two-party system that gentlemanly good faith eventually breaks down and you end up with our current problem, where you need supermajority control of all branches of government to actually do anything, because if you lack even one single point of control then party-line behavior will allow everything to be ground to a halt.

Parliamentary systems are better, there is just one house in most cases, and the executive is of the same party as the legislature, so when a government forms it has consensus and can execute policy. Yes, this is less checked-and-balanced, and that's a good thing, because accomplishing policy and checks and balances are opposing goals. Too much checks and balance and nothing gets done. If everything is fine that's great, but our system has been deadlocked for 20 years now, things are not great, and nothing can be done about it.

And there are still an executive and judicial branches in a parliamentary system, it is still a federal system, just not the American federal system.

The real "checks and balances" is ultimately voting.
Having snap elections allows that check to be manifested much more readily when the government begins to go off the rails of public opinion.

(the queen is actually a very interesting apparatus in the british government... apart from having some kind of maximum duration between elections, you are dependent on someone to decide when to call a snap election. Obviously you can't really rely on a government that is completely off the rails to call an election on itself, and party line voting poses obvious problems. So how do you deal with it? An oracle machine (in the crypto sense) that exists outside the system and can operate independently to decide when to call an election. Which is what the queen does, she can dissolve parliament and call an election.)
Regardless of whether you liked it or not, it has a pretty effective framework against your assumption:

I agree that the primary benefit to Alexander from deleting his blog was in discouraging the NYT from publishing his name, and that his arguments for why it might still help even after he gets doxxed are much weaker. I'd tend to apply a more charitable standard to weak arguments for something he has the absolute right to do and that doesn't harm anyone else (what if he just didn't want to pay the hosting bill anymore?), than to innuendo questioning someone's character (by implying that this "creditable reason" might be out there) in one of the world's most-read magazines.

> I really don't think you can make that assertion without asking the maintainer of the website.

Let me rephrase. More websites would want to be archived than not. So that should be the default.

This is how defaults are meant to work. Unless the default is somehow harmful or dangerous, they should be the thing that the most people want, so as to reduce the amount of work involved in getting everyone to their preferred outcome. Having 1% of websites opt out is far less work for the websites than having 99% of websites opt in.

> AND if that's the case, IA can either reach out to the maintainer via the email address gotten from the public WHOIS data OR the maintainer can easily go to the IA website and opt in!

You do realize how many websites there are. Why would you want to dump a collective million man hours of work on all of them to opt in, or the even worse consequences when they forget and then don't get archived like they would've wanted?
There is far, far too much content posted to manually review.

Maybe I’m stating the obvious here, but there is actually a standard: ISO 8601. Vendors however don’t seem to follow this, either consistently or at all. As for a standard library, Javascript doesn’t have one - everything is built into the core language. Also, fundamental differences between language syntaxes could have a huge impact on usage and implementation. So even if every existing and future language on the planet followed ISO 8601, there would always be that language barrier.
EDIT: I'm wrong, Scott Alexander is just his pen name.

The article also calls the author "Scott _____" instead of just "the author of S.S.C.".

Wasn't this exactly what he was trying to prevent with the NYT in the first place? So now other journalists feel like they have to step in and "doxx" him instead? And this New Yorker article ultimately got published in spite of all the controversy surrounding his identity. What kind of backlash is that going to generate? On top of the reaction to all the other veiled attacks on people in the article and irrelevant detours into "controversial" details about SSC and the rationalist community, etc.

I don't see a good outcome to this at all. Maybe it says something if the people who put the most effort into overcoming bias and trying to foster reasoned conversation couldn't prevent all of this from blowing up as it did. Maybe it doesn't. I don't know. It's certainly ugly.

> it is evidence that there is bipartisan support for educational spending,

That does not correspond with the rhetoric that I've seen. Republicans are adamantly opposed to increasing spending for public education, and have systematically cut support for higher education spending in state budgets. Instead, I regularly see the meme that there's tons of fat in the education system; that we spend just as much as everyone else, but have worse outcomes. The fault is in the schools for not spending what they have wisely enough.

And I think that the funding story is flatly untrue. Because the dominant source of public education funding is from local taxes, there are vast differences in the per-student level of funding across the country.
I get what you're saying. I studied physics in undergrad but decided not to go to grad school. I kept hearing stuff like that well into my junior and senior years. I ended up doing internships on two HEP experiments, one at Brookhaven National Lab and the other at Jefferson Lab. It was enormously frustrating to hear that something was allowed/not allowed because "the Great and Powerful Standard Model says so". If there's one thing I picked up from my program and being on experiment teams, it's that effectively communicating science is extremely hard. It's not fair to characterize it as malicious ("priestly particle physicist class hides sacred knowledge") when it's really just people not knowing how to simplify concepts accurately. I don't know a single physicist who wouldn't dearly have loved to be able to explain this stuff to laypeople more easily. People are scared to use metaphors or other rough answers. In the least bad case they can result in misunderstanding or confusion. In the worst case they can lead to perpetual motion machine people.

This is extremely niche knowledge and there's a lot more stuff that should be explained first. I went to grade school in Virginia in the 90s and early 2000s. We were taught that the American Civil War was about states rights, and that it was the War of Northern Aggression. I'd much rather we focus broad educational efforts on making people understand their fellow humans and try to prevent repeating the atrocities of the past than get people to understand quantum flavordynamics or chromodynamics.
While I agree about not being personal, I don't agree that it has to be data-driven in the formal way you seem to be implying. Its also quite possible to build horrendous UX (even it it's supposed to be a dark pattern) while being data-driven, just like it's possible to build garbage software despite having thousands of unit tests with 100% coverage.

I think it really comes down to: can your users effectively use the software.

To me, having to refer to documentation, go through training, or just "get used to it" are all indicators of poor UX. At the same time, in some cases those are acceptable requirements because, for example, you're building medical UIs that only highly-trained medical professionals are going to use. (I'd still argue you should make it better: a pro won't care that a tooltip defines an acronym, or a warning appears if you set possibly incompatible parameters, etc)

What constitutes "good" UX is always going to be somewhat subjective. There's some software that's got a truly awful interface (ever look at ERP stuff?) but whose users spend most of their day using it and are massively effective because they've memorized shortcuts and all the quirks. It has good UX for existing users, awful UX for new users - so how does that get classified?

I almost think they “like” to word things in this way so they can side step the larger ramifications of their decisions to certain people.

It feels frustrating to those outside the law. But that’s always been true of the law, as far as I’ve read.

Also remember that our legal system is a direct inheritance of the English legal system we separated from in the 1700s. There’s actually more history to our laws than to our country. So to some extent the years of buildup contributing to confusion stem back pretty far into the past. We would have a lot of work ahead of us to reinvent the quirkiness out of the system.

I'm amused that you possibly think war is just two sides in distinct colors simply lining up and shooting volleys at each other until one side surrenders from the field with a white flag in the air. That may be more civil and gentlemanly, but it's far from how wars are mostly fought.

Deception, killing, accepting/breaking agreements, and taking things is basically war in a nutshell. It is an extension of diplomacy. How you execute these parts is a matter of your goals, and your morals and ethics.

But it's not THEFT. There is no such thing as theft when it comes between two nation states, it's either yours or it's not yours, and how well you can defend it basically is the rule of the game.

If you deceive yourself enough to assume you aren't at war, while the other side sends you all the signals that they are at war with you, whose fault is it when you eventually fall?

You may hate it, but don't redefine something basic to the politics of humanity.

Agreed. Joda had the right abstractions (instants, durations, etc) but the class hierarchy for them was unnecessarily complex. A lot of this complexity comes from opting for the abstractions to be either mutable or immutable.

For example, `ReadableInstant` [1] in Joda implements 3 interfaces and has 7 subclasses. And really, what is the difference between `AbstractDateTime` and `BaseDateTime`? Whereas `Instant` from java.time [2] is an immutable value type and I haven't found it lacking in any respect.

On the whole java.time has struck me as extremely well designed (after coming from Python and previous date and time libraries in Java) and I think it would behoove other languages to liberally copy its design.

Something like this was my first programming project when I was 12...

I had built a web service where you could get a unique URL for a .jpg and use it as your signature in forums. On the other end you had a Winamp plugin that you had to install that updated the currently playing song. The php file that served the jpg just used imagemagick to build the image. So you could display what song you were listening or what the last song you were listening to was to everyone in the forum. You could pick your theme as well for the image. No signup required.

Man this brings back memories... and also makes me feel bad that after all these years and a college degree I was probably smarter, faster and more productive as a 12 year old.

This was just hosting a php +MySQL db on a free cpanel host (I think 110mb.com) and none of that isomorphic lambda react firebase vercel kubernetes jazz and it still worked beautifully.
> Why do you think there is anything inconsistent about conservatives not cutting back government uniformly?

There are 2 things that are not being taken into account.

First, historic trends are not reversed by relatively recent changes in allocation to the US military.

Second relatively recent changes in military utility of manpower vs aircraft vs cruise missile has made certain kinds of spending obsolete. A modern, effective military does not require the same logistics anymore, so of course spending has gone down.

There is nothing inconsistent about conservatives (Republicans) expanding military spending, as they always have and will continue to do so within the bounds of recommendations from the industrial military complex.
