You're correct that initialization is not assignment, but the assignment section is still the relevant place to look: the initialization section says "the same type constraints and conversions as for simple assignment apply". But that isn't obvious and I should have spelled that out.
I don't know if it's necessary for a better language to do both OLAP and OLTP; it seems that they are used by different classes of users with relatively low overlap in language features. But I definitely agree that such a test as (1) would be a critical prerequisite to an improvement over SQL.

While I think TikTok is a cesspool, Trump banning TikTok is a wild overextension of Federal power. How any "small gov't" conservative is okay with this, while over 1000 Americans are dying of COVID per day nonetheless, is beyond me.

They need to educate Americans on the predatory nature of TikToks software and move along.

The dev still needs to type the code first, which does not address any problems with SQL.

Those interfaces may be limited, or the devs may not have enough experience writing "code" via a higher-level graphical interface. Going from writing SQL to creating dataflow diagrams may be a bit like switching from imperative to functional programming.

Help me make the connection here. If we cut taxes to the Walmarts, why would that lead to them increasing wages? Would they see the reduction in safety nets and food stamps, and conclude that they ought to be more generous to employees? Wouldn't they rather turn that into shareholder value instead?

Will a chinese company really comply with the US court system in terms of discovery? I would question if they are going to comply with discovery in a way that a US company might. What exactly is forcing them to hand over actual documentation and not just forgeries? Will the Chinese court system get them in trouble for that? I doubt it.

After all many publically traded chinese companies in the US aren't actually compliant with the same laws as US companies are.

I think the ending aged like milk, i.e.: "Steve Jobs capitulating to Microsoft".

First of all, it's simply a mischaracterization, and second, today we interpret that moment very differently to the way it's portrayed in that movie. Steve Jobs turned Apple around spectacularly and went on to create the company with the highest market capitalization in the world, surpassing even Microsoft for many years.

Other than the ending, that documentary does a better job representing Steve Jobs' life than recent biographical movies.

There should be a documentary that covers Steve's life in his NeXT years.

> While I think TikTok is a cesspool

Is that referring to the content or the company itself? I don't see how it's any more of a cesspool than any other social platform. Twitter? Facebook? Reddit? Every sufficiently large platform is filled with a very wide range of content, from great to awful.

As a company, I do agree they have shady practices, but again, don't most other social media apps such as Facebook and the gang use similar tracking and data collection? Of course that's a low bar to compare to but I don't see why they're being singled out here.

Thanks for writing this.

There’s been some strange tendency of late to conflate the weapons effects of nuclear or thermonuclear explosions with those of “really big amounts of conventional high explosive”. While that may even hold true at a sufficiently great radius, the proximate effects due to the near-instantaneous radiated energy is something that has no comparable analogue in the conventional world.

These effects are not really militarily useful, which is why even in the realm of small tactical nuclear weapons there has been a tendency towards minimising or not emphasising them, but...

The power of a nuclear weapon, intended properly as energy released per unit time, is in a league of it’s own.

Aside: for all the horror, at least this happened at the quayside and half the explosive force radiated away almost harmlessly over the sea. That basically halved the actual destruction at the outset. If it had been in the middle of the city, there would have been twice the damage.

EDIT: A startlingly worse case would have been if the explosives had been slightly interred, coupling the blast more closely to the ground and enhancing amplitude of the p-waves and providing plenty of really substantial debris raining down after basically ‘earth-quaking’ the buildings.

NOTE: Took the last paragraphs and placed them into their own comment, with logical conclusion. Apologies for the duplication.
This ban is clearly a distraction by the white house to take attention away from actual national security matters, specifically the foreign hacking of elections. It's absurd that this is a priority but protecting our electoral process is not. Only fools would believe a social network like this is a real threat.

Do you love SQL, or do you love relational algebra? Because actual SQL, the language, is pretty shitty.

Perhaps the best querying language I've ever used is Q-SQL, integrated into kdb+/q. Unlike SQL, it's actually part of the language (q/k) and, most importantly, it's modular and more expressive than SQL.

Naturally it is possible, but they aren't willing to do so with Android.
DOS was much more of a glorified process loader than an operating system as we think of one today. It had no knowledge of memory models, very limited knowledge of protected mode, and no means to constrain application behavior.

"DOS" memory models were styles of programing rather than features the DOS kernel understood, much less supported. The DOS API always used far pointers for addressing and had no notion of which memory model a calling process used.

As far as protected mode is concerned, DOS has very limited knowledge of protected mode. Any DOS application could switch to protected mode at any time. In earlier versions of DOS, this was done by setting up the processor hardware directly. In version 4 and beyond, DOS software entered protected mode using VCPI or DPMI functionality through emm386.

Any DOS process which went into protected mode essentially became the running operating system and was on its own and had no support from the DOS kernel. Technologies were eventually developed to allow protected mode software to call the DOS kernel and BIOS--typically used for filesystem access and video mode setup--but the protected mode code was ultimately in control of the computer. DOS was a second-class citizen at best.
In theory, a bad signature at in-person voting could be cause for arrest, and we could actually do it.

With the mail-in voting, the person isn't present. You can't possibly find the person. No matter how obvious the fraud, there is nothing to be done about it. The person is certain to avoid arrest. No charges will ever be filed, and some people will then conclude that fraud doesn't happen.

In the one case, the criminal faces a small risk that is easy to dismiss. In the other case, there is no risk at all.

Right, this makes sense. To summarize, the kuburnetes niche is for people who can't use a public cloud provider, but whose employees want to have familiar interfaces (and to not have to deal with the ops).

Or briefly, it's a tool for organizations to build their own internal lambda for things that can't be hosted externally. (and then, things like GKE and EKS are the cloud providers providing not just a familiar interface, but an effectively identical interface to the internal clouds, which makes moving workloads easier).
I find this to be a useful label for "a tool, technique, or approach that multiplies my ability to get useful things done by 5x, 50x, 1000x, etc"

Is there a better term for this?

The architecture is a cool design, where Linux gets encapsuble in a kind of micro-kernel where classical drivers are "legacy" drivers, and Treble drivers get their own process, can be implemented in C++ or java, talking with the kernel via Android IPC.

However not forcing OEMs to provide updates, even with Project Mainline and GSI now as Treble updates, doesn't change anything from consumer point of view.

I think you are used to your way of doing things and your opinion is limited by your perspective. I would suggest you be open to new things, try a trial version of an Intellij IDE(with an open mind)

It makes logical sense that a program that can understand the entire project provide you more help then a more limited program. For example you refactor some code and make a typo in a function name, now because you changed the function name this function is no longer used from other code(because that code uses an old name), because is not used anymore it is highlighted in the IDE as unused and you just caught a typo error (I am expecting now that TDD would have caught this, or a typo in a var name but not everybody is testing everything and the problem is caught in the IDE without any effort from you)

Reminds me of when Google security engineers...ahem...reacted...to the Snowden leak that the NSA was spying on internally decrypted traffic. [1]

It's insane to me that the US spied on an American company's internal traffic, got busted, and the only viable response was "well, I guess we have to make HTTPS mandatory in the protocol now".

Not that it was the wrong response. Just that it wasn't even on the table to say "hey, NSA, wtf..."

Unless you see the NSA as some sort of weird, legally protected black hat blue team.

I might be missing something, but I don't see the relevance of discovery when TikTok is suing the US government. The government will need to establish that it followed due process in drafting and executing the executive order. I can't see what relevant information TikTok would hold about that? Posisbly they would have correspondence between the government and themselves, but you would expect the government to have copies of that too. It may be that the order was carried out because of TikTok's behaviour, but that would need to be behaviour that the government has documentation of, so it wouldn't come through discovery.

Also, just to be clear, this law suit isn't going to be litigated by Chinese lawyers, the lawyers are going to be US lawyers who have to adhere to the US standards. If they think that TikTok is failing to provide something to the court or are acting unethically they are obligated to tell the court of be disbared.
