This is why I LOVE to write interfaces for ORM:

Foo

Foo.Id

Now what is an ID? Just a long. But now when I call a function like getFoo(Foo.Id id) it is statically obvious what is going on.

Its little things like this that make it obvious what should happen vs documented and then yelling at you for not remembering the exact interface.
> That’s what Oauth is though.

Splitting hairs but no, Oauth has nothing to do with authentication. An introductory article like this should address the distinction between authentication and authorization in the first section IMO.
1. This. The only thing I miss from Windows is Explorer. I just can't understand how macOS dev feels Finder would work like that for 20 years without much change. It resets the config and the window size for a folder at every random occasion, creates .DS_Store garbage all over, you cannot even cut files and just feels uneasy. I even enable "Quit Finder" menu and get it out of my app cycle list but it randomly resurrects itself...

ForkLift is something that keeps my sanity.

Indeed. A paradox inherent to the notion of paying to avoid ads is that it identifies you as someone who has disposable income and is willing to spend it, i.e. someone who advertisers really want to target.
Google should just fork the web already. Let them create their own private platform and do whatever they want.

The massive control Chrome and Android gives them means they can do whatever they want already, but at least with a private platform they won’t have to fight people and deal with the negative PR of doing evil stuff. And then the rest of us who like privacy and competition and ad blockers can use the “legacy” web.
If we think Clojure is a 'diverging Lisp', then there are other diverging Lisps with different syntax like MDL, Logo, Dylan, even JavaScript. Some Scheme code uses angular brackets.

Historically core Lisp has left other grouping character or syntax to sublanguages or new data types. There are many examples for that. This is usually done via reader macros, which open up the s-expression reader to the programmer.

This is a Joshua rule:

(defrule grandfather-determiner (:backward)
;; there are 3 ways to find your grandfather
IF [or [is-genetic-grandfather-of ?gramps ?kid]
[is-grandfather-thru-step-parent ?gramps ?kid]
[is-step-grandfather-of ?gramps ?kid]]
THEN [is-grandfather-of ?gramps ?kid])

Many internal or external domain specific languages for Lisp use special syntax and defining forms, since their authors either believed that it's easier to use in general or that it was necessary for 'end users' of their systems. Early examples were maths systems like Macsyma, which were programmable, but addressed mathematicians as audience. Logo, which was Lisp for kids. One of the first theorem provers had the first ML as the programming language interface for its users.

Historically Lisp 2 was supposed to get rid of simple s-expressions on the surface. There was a different syntax defined for it.
I applied for a trainee role in my current organisation, no coding experience required they wanted people with business knowledge and to train them up. Took a pay cut to start too. They offered training courses and I did a lot of study myself. I was doing a degree level apprenticeship, which I started 3 years in, but it actually wasn't very good. Lots of self learning and pluralsight, udemy courses. I have collegaues who went the route of coding bootcamps and were successful in getting junior roles.

That's true, the people of HK were raised to believe in British values on conquered land then abandoned there when Britain couldn't hold it any longer.

Even POWs are treated better than their home country denying any involvement or responsibility when their overseas outpost gets captured.

> This isn’t about a philosophical position on privacy. It’s about who the government shares our information with, and how it treats us based on what it thinks it knows about us.

The article mentions just one incident in India in passing, but whole books could be written on the resident (not citizen) ID scheme and the problems it has created in India. Now there’s a push in India for a new national health ID to help private companies gather more data in a country with no data privacy laws.

Unlike the UK where the national ID project was junked a decade ago (as mentioned in the article), in India the story of rights being trampled while an uncaring judiciary spends time on more trivial matters should be a lesson to people in other countries.

Keep the fight against mass surveillance on. Times of crisis, like the current pandemic, are great opportunities for governments to push policies that will have long term negative effects.

USA is relevant because any discussion of HK democracy or capitalism places it along an axis between the virtues championed, globally, by China and the US. Otherwise, what discussion is there to have about a Chinese city that the Chinese are dealing with as they see fit?

At least one of the deaths mentioned in that URL... was shot by police.

Recall also that these protests began because the police in the US have murdered thousands in the last few centuries.

Anti-police-violence protests would have to sustain dozens of related deaths every single night for months to even approach the level of depravity exercised by police for years.
I can definitely takes the cake for an easy to use syntax for doing all kinds of linear algebra. It's only able to do that because the extensive operator overloading that C++ allows. However, don't want that for you for a speed. Using something like MKL directly is always going to be faster than eigen. The trade-off is the API is much more complex.
I have wasted so much time on oAuth2 and OIDC the past month that I'm building a SaaS around it. (not wasted but took away time from the business)

I would have really liked to use auth0 or other authn services but not a fan of lock-in platforms, I want to export my db without enterprise plans.

Presumably the same sort who says

> If the state wants people to respect the laws and remain peaceful, it needs to clean its own house of violent criminals first.

Or “peaceful protesting wasn’t working so what else are protestors supposed to do?” Which I see all over Reddit.

Personally, I hear friends who dislike the violence but have an attitude of “well we’re so privileged, who are we to judge?” It’s not PC to disavow it because our voices aren’t the ones that need to be heard right now (unless we agree, in which case we’re being allies and have a moral duty to speak up and lend our privilege).

This quote comes up a lot in that context (MLK, Letter from the Birmingham Jail):

> First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”

That said, I don’t know anyone who supports violent protest, and my friends are as left as they come.

Of course it’s states rightsy. The framers came up with a solution for exactly the problem posed in the article. And that was to push governance down mostly to the local and state levels.

You overestimate how much Iowans think about politics day to day. But to the extent they care about “owning the libs” it’s because the cosmopolitan elite have spent decades intruding into local governance.
Transformer is a function from seq of symbols to seq of symbols.
For example, truth table is exactly similar kind of function from variables to [True, False] alphabet.

Transformer can represent some very complex logical operations, and per this article is turing complete: https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.03429, meaning any computable function, including theorem prover can be represented as transformer.

Another question is if it is feasible/viable/rational to build transformer for this? My intuition says: no.
That’s an important point.

From a political standpoint, one of the purposes of the defense treaties has been to discourage allies from building up their own militaries. This was an explicit policy in the wake of WW2 to promote both US hegemony, but also to promote stability - the theory being a world with one dominant military power is less likely to see large wars like WW1 and WW2.
Sure, but that owes more to the fact that the ruling classes in “the west” now exist in solidarity with those in China, nationalist posturing aside.

Globalization unified Chinese elites with oligarchs in the US and Europe so they both could profit from exploitation of the Chinese labor force. But now that the country has developed past the point of this being easily profitable for all parties, the Chinese regime has to resort to ever more authoritarian tactics to keep the wheels spinning. Average people in western countries might oppose all of this, but the people who rule them put as much stock in these objections as the Chinese leaders do their dissenters.
Taiwan is in 'China' in the same way as both North Korea and South Korea are in Korea.

The difference is that the People's Republic of China (what 'China' usually refers to) has decided that the Republic of China has ceased to exist in 1949 (Taiwan is the last remaining territory controlled by the Republic of China) and that they are strong enough to largely 'enforce' this policy on the world stage.

So, of course for Chinese this is a domestic issue.

The West cares because the PRC is an adversary and Taiwan has a strategic location on maritime routes to East Asia.

>Libertarianism is not "a trojan horse for ideology" it is an ideology.

It can be both, though for many proponents it's natural to blindly reject the notion of one's identity being polluted by people who are ostensibly on "your side". It's not something that's only happening in libertarianism, but I strongly agree that it is abused in the way the parent describes.

Yup, I do not mean to discourage the authors.

I truly like the project and I have a few things in mind that could make use of it already. (Heck, one of them is pretty much Graviton + a front end).

But I cannot just jump into it as there's some real money involved and no one wants to experiment with that.

I see a bright future for Graviton, once it becomes tested and stable in production environments.

I'm very interested, but also skeptical. How do I know this isn't just fashion ? I would be more convinced if this was backed up by scientific studies, or even just showed examples more than a few years old. What were they doing in the 1960's ? People have done studies showing that fonts with serif's increase comprehension (at least in printed form) of words. Have similar studies been done with colours? Otherwise this article could be complete bs written by someone with a fetish for pastels. Five years from now this same person could be writing about how colours need to have more zing, and reversing all these "not ideal / better" diagrams. Remember when webdesigners went crazy using low-contrast fonts that were barely readable ?
It looks like this particular fork of this code has a few nice features that aren't in older versions, such as support for dumping memory and actually knowing about the other common formats of AES key schedule that are commonly found in the wild. It's really annoying to run a search over a dump that you suspect contains an AES key schedule and coming up with nothing because the encryption library used a slightly different way of storing it than the one expected by the tool.
If the efficiency gains vary by production year, that implies it's hardware improvements, as opposed to software tweaks (which would be rolled out fleet-wide regardless of year). I wonder what goes into that experience curve effect?

Introduce a digital ID and instantly it’ll become a requirement to give your digital ID to do anything at all - register a mobile phone, a bank account, an online shop, a library, a pub ... anything. Thus, as the article says, your whole life can be linked together and surveilled, not only by government but by dozens of unaccountable corporations."

This is exactly what happened in India with its biometric resident ID number, where the executive coerced people to link it with phone numbers, bank accounts and many other institutions (including giving it in schools and colleges), until the lethargic Supreme Court reduced its validity to government funded schemes alone (despite it causing starvation deaths and exclusions of people from their entitlements). Not to be outdone, the government enacted new laws to help private companies use the number, and continues to push for it.

The whole series of events has been disastrous, and India does not even have any data privacy laws.

D is far more powerful, especially when you consider that it's had working constraints for (?) something like a decade now.

Simple example, try to express this in C++ without a windows full of syntax-soup (https://d.godbolt.org/z/Toc8ob), the template constraint is one line, and I can pass anything into a template using alias be that templates, a string etc.

Passing strings into a templates is a very common trick for generating code at compile time in the D standard library, although it wouldn't work in C++ due to how slow C++ can be to compile some times.

I've instructed kids roughly this age. My context was the American Boy Scouts (remember when that still existed?), so I'm sure it was similar to your experience in the ACF.

There are a lot of psychological techniques you pick up on before you even get to the instruction. One of them is setting a firm expectation that "you are becoming a man, this is how men behave, men are accountable for their actions." This works well for kids in a situation where they feel that they have some honor/face to maintain.

The only difficult child I had to handle was one in the scouts who was using a pocket knife in a very unsafe way. I tore up his totin' chip [1] in front of the class and the shame from that and the dressing down his scoutmaster gave him at the evening campfire straightened him up quickly. I only bring that up because it illustrates how I used that shame drive as what I view as the most important mechanism to keep everyone safe.

This was easy for me to intuit because my father introduced me to guns at a young age, .22's under his supervision around 4 or 5, a BB gun without direct supervision around the age of 8, then on to pellets and carrying my own large-caliber rifle while deer hunting around age 12. It was impressed on me that I was going to pay like hell in corporal punishment if I hit something I shouldn't have, and I've ever had a mishap with a gun (knock on wood.)

It's interesting that in these contexts where I've felt most safe there's an almost visceral understanding that removal of group standing and potentially violence are waiting on the other end of negligence on your part.
