This document matters. It’s a fucking miracle it even exists — still.
That wouldn't destroy the ports, though.
But then you have to live in Atlanta...

> Wouldn't that reasoning also apply to restraining orders and personal protective orders? They do not require a trial, and the burden of proof is pretty low.

Restraining orders and personal protective orders are court ordered according to the constitutional framework. They aren't things that are randomly assigned by airport employees.

I was honestly puzzled he's never heard of it; because I know he flies a lot, and surely he must have seen at least one of their billboards, unless he was specifically avoiding all the billboards (I guess he might).

Also, that's not curiosity, either. He completely ignored the rest of the email where I've already explained the context for my concern (see my sibling reply in this thread), and dismissed the whole thing as not being that important; and without bothering to investigate on his own, either.

If you look at what he and his assistants write about it, they still don't get what people use Zoom for. I'd never join any Zoom meeting period, unless they support joining without installing any third-party software, but the offers I get are for the interviews, not for participating in a vague "activity". It's usually not a big deal to decline; and do a phone screen instead; with one of the CoderPad services that let you write the code, and share the text of the code, through the browser.
There are usually no legal penalties for acts by government agencies found to be illegal, but done in good faith.

For one it’s three and two lines for what is two logical operations. I assume the “inconsistent state” is the time between the lines where the stack is not truly in the right state-many people prefer to preserve their invariants as much as possible.

Nice documentation. Ada looks a lot like Pascal. It is interesting that SPARK is a subset of subset of Ada.
> I guess I’m just sad that all the tools conpanies are gone or shells of their former selves.

And the tools they made are largely gone with them. The whole point of free software (well, one of the benefits anyway) is that it keeps being useful even after the original programmer stops making it or no one can make money from it anymore.

(And just for fun, since you're mostly talking about money and money wasn't mentioned in the article: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.html )
I'm not sure if the courtesy cards will get you out of a copyright infringement either...
This ruling is much more likely to be related to the 4th Amendment search and seizure clause or the 14th Amendment Due Process clause.
I used jitsi until I was overruled and now we use teams (sigh). It worked somewhat but would start to get iffy after 5 or 6 people would be in a call, especially when they're a few hours away. We'd have to start turning off cameras to get it to work. That of course doesn't seem like a software issue more than it is an instance issue, zoom and microsoft probably have hosts of more servers to handle stuff compared to the default jitsi stuff.
Worth noting that there's an expensive but very popular product from IBM called Aspera

Great Things with Great Tech – Episode 8 – Portainer
Thanks :) The reason it looks like that is because I need a way to distinguish binary calls from unary calls: `a b` would call the combinator `a` with the parser `b` as input. `a b c` will call the combinator b with a and c as input.

I certainly could have chosen another syntax, but I settled for that one. Because the user can define their own combinators I can't just hard-code all combinators into the syntax.

For example `*:A` is alias for `(many0 (token A))` but if the user defines his/her own unary combinator, I need a way to let him/her call it without changing the syntax.
I seem to remember some windows to windows networking that happened over an A to A USB cable, and I think it came as part of a PC upgrade kit, to allow you to move files from your old device to your new one.

So, I'm mildly confident you're right about A-A cables being valid, at least at some point.
Customizing Trimming in .NET 5
Anyone remember the B.C. Comic where BC claims "Clams have hands" and other attributes only he witnesses and is ridiculed for?

You would have to wonder if that had any influence on their reluctance to publish similar claims.
The aggregate fees are quite high (1.5%+2% of contributions every year in management fees alone) and while larger funds
may pull this off occasionally partly due to signaling, you are not getting exclusive access to the startups with this setup. What justifies the high recurring fees other than the fact that AngelList was first to build the piping? Do they have a role in filtering the startups, or exclusive access? When public markets are all moving to index funds/ETFs because of the low management fees, how do you justify doubling the cost for investing in startups?

Can you explain your reasoning, because I don't follow.
I doubt harsher sentences or new policies will fix anything. I think what would be more effective is that the police see punishments for any wrongdoings at all, but that's not even my preferred strategies.
There is a popular argument being made recently that science and innovation are slowing down. If true, the next question is what factors are causing this slow down. The way that Brown was dismissed for (apparently) good research in the 50s feels a lot like the struggles that heterodox academics seem to face today. My question is whether that sort of dismissal and ostracization was common during the "more innovative" eras of, say, 1800-1950. I legitimately don't know. To use some big hitters as examples, I'm unaware of Einstein or Millikan ever dealing with serious questioning of their work. Darwin faced questions but more from non-academics. Freud should have faced more questioning than he actually received.

Is it fair to characterize modern research as having a problem with group-think and if so, how important is that problem in the supposed slow-down of science?
"Mohamed Noor Somali-American Police Officer Sentenced "

Of course, the conservatives will say that the unusually severe sentence was surely not due to to his name, religion or ethnic origin.

Police, prosecutors and judges are never, ever, ever prejudiced in the fantasy America that they live in.
> Think mafia. Sure the thug did illegal crap and you know it, but he isn’t worth arresting. You want the boss.

It's interesting that you bring up mafia in a conversation about the federal government. The federal government collaborated with the mafia dueing WWII and afterwards. So, no, that is not the government that should have power to manufacture evidence and pretend it was legally obtained.

In what way do you feel it's flawed? Based on what you know of the methodology, what would you change?
This articles hits the head on why I think OOP is hot air. Everything that OOP espouses is achievable through a different way from what an OOP language like Java chose.

Abstraction and Encapsulation? Every programming language lets you do that with functions (or some other way).

Inheritance? Even OOP die-hards favor interfaces over inheritance.

Polymorphism? Interfaces (like in Go).

What's left to distinguish OOP with? The bad choices that Java made, like not allowing standalone functions i.e. Execution in the Kingdom of Nouns. That's what everyone hates on when they say they hate OOP, they hate Java's style of OOP.

When you look at the 'virtues' of OOP it all falls apart because other non-OOP language achieve the same thing without being Java.
Ada is one of those languages that I always wish I had a reason to program in

I love that they're using Google Sheets & not Office 365.
Yeah it's pretty cool, if I say so myself :) It parses itself (using a pre-compiled AST) to parse other user-defined grammars.

Initially I started using PEGjs, and then swapped once it was ready.
that's a good point and I agree entirely.

Actually I agree completely, that's pretty much the problem that my home country (France) has.
"Police des polices" is separate, but it still falls under the authority of the interior ministry, who also helms the police.

As a result, its mission is very often perverted and they get pressure from the ministry in order to get the result the interior minister wants.

So close .. take the same organization with a different head (somebody completely independent from the interior minister) and that would be great.

My apartment building has ~50 residential floors (each floor holding ~7 units) and 4 elevators. Each elevator is sufficiently large enough to let two unrelated groups be in the elevator while maintaining 6 feet.

For me it was mostly a fun project I've always wanted to make :) I didn't know about ts-parsec though, looks cool!

I originally designed Pasukon as an alternative to PEGjs. A way to quickly prototype a language and generate an usable parser. What I didn't like much about PEGjs is the lack of extensibility, so I added the ability to use your own lexer and combinators to really fine-tune the parser if needed.

Also PEGjs struggles with indent-based grammars, because it can't use caching with those, and it can get quite slow. That gets solved by using a lexing step which outputs proper `INDENT` and `DEDENT` tokens.
it will produce indistinguishable assembly language, no?

> it's obviously a small number of companies, which I think most of us would suspect probably has a high intersection with the small number of people hoarding wealth in the world.

Do you think the rich just buy coal mines and set them on fire?

Or do you mean all the citizens of Europeans and North American, in which case yes. We 1% with all the wealth are the ones emitting CO2 while we wait for the worlds poor to catch up, who get to have a small footprint by letting kids die of diarrhoea and stuff.

You stared well, of course the Clathrate gun is made up like almost everything else in the global warming lore, but then you started your own fan fiction.

It's good to be reminded that every choice makes a difference and it's not all about being self-consistent. Kind of like how, even though I left home without a mask yesterday, it's still better to wear a mask today than not.

Amazing and sad story, with some very poignant passages

> Frank had stood on the same patch of shop floor and been told about the death of his father, then his mother, now his girlfriend. . . . So the shop wasn’t only a place of business, Frank said, as he took back the photograph. It wasn’t only a local curiosity. That little room down there was the staging place for almost every major event of his life, and he could not bear to think of it being shuttered, cobwebbed, uncared-for.
Dude this is FUD. NYC's own page clearly states salary at 5 1/2 years is $85,292. https://www1.nyc.gov/site/nypd/careers/police-officers/po-be...

Starting salary: $42,500
Salary after 5 ½ years: $85,292.
Including holiday pay, longevity pay, uniform allowance, night differential and overtime, police officers may potentially earn over $100,000 per year.

Add to that: opportunities to get promoted, "private security" gigs, near 100% job security, and a lifetime pension based on their final (highest-paid) years.
I think Pasukon should perform similarly to a hand-written recursive descent parser. If you already have something going, I don't see much benefit in porting it, besides ease of creating and maintaining the parser.

It can parse any context-free language, so it should have no problem parsing CommonMark.
Their marketing folks should introduce Ada certification.

Many developers would jump through hoops to get any dodgy certification. I have seen dubious FEMA certifications and NFA certifications on some LinkedIn pages.

“She was able to buy the car back.”

Think about that for a minute.

A state sanctioned gang decided her car, that she owned, was no longer her property. Then they were graceful enough to allow her to buy back her stolen property. It’s absolutely disgusting and unacceptable in modern society.

People like you who rationalize this behavior make me sick.
Why is there a statute of limitations for government officials? This shouldn't be a thing when you're entrusted with the responsibilities that you are concerning an entire country and its citizens.
Oh wow, now that cover of Gangster's Paradise could really use some lyrics.

Coolio's original song is a masterpiece. Especially looking back after the death of George Floyd and it's aftermath, that 1995 song resonates more than it has in the last 25 years.

It's words of the street and the oppressed are universal and timeless (unfortunately). Maybe take the bardcore cover and alter Coolio's lyrics to represent the lead up to the Peasant's Revolt of 1381?
Yeah I really need to work on the docs. I want to write a "Getting Started" guide for someone with absolutely zero background on the topic and put it in the repo's Wiki.

Did you see the GitHub repo's README? I do ellaborate a bit over there. Do you think I should explain the basics in the website too? Or maybe just link to the wiki once I have that "Getting Started" guide up?
I'm generally not a fan of supporting trademarks, but with respect to USB specifically, if the product doesn't have a trademarked USB logo[1], then the default consumer assumption should be that it's dubious wank which hasn't passed independent compliance testing.

And if the product under consideration does brandish a trademarked USB logo but clearly doesn't satisfy some observable aspect of the spec, then it's liable to be a counterfeit and you should seriously be questioning the integrity of your source.

Yep, I secured a firstnamelastname.gmail (both common) for my wife early in gmail's life- and its very useful for ease in sharing.

I have a similar .mac/.me/.icloud email.

Unfortunately the innumerable 1,2,3 ended users of the same email get wearying to deal with for both of us. We both have persistent UK versions of ourselves, lots of offers for free tickets to football games in the UK that I have to regretfully pass up; as well as a variety of other people that we've managed to classify by geography.

We should recognize that many times network effects are not the problem, but the low quality of the free software offerings.

Many free software advocates are OK with ugly and bad interfaces, bad documentation, etc. and they don't understand why anyone would prefer the proprietary alternative.

As a community, if we want to make normal people use (and donate to) free software, we should increase our quality standards. It's important that the whole user experience (downloading, installing and using software) is smooth.

For example: I can give many good reasons to use Jitsi instead of Zoom, but if Jitsi's usability or video quality is not on par with Zoom's, all my reasons crumble at the eyes of normal people, and we shouldn't blame them. (Just an example, not saying Jitsi is bad.)
Having a few dozen tabs open is actually incredibly weird outside of this little world.
Definitely agree that you should have validation if you can't guarantee the validity of your data, but I think there's a difference here.

Coincidentally, I had a discussion about a similar topic today. Basically how much validation is necessary and at what level should it be at?

function add(a, b)
if a is not a number
throw error
if b is not a number
throw error
result = a + b
if result > max possible precise value
throw error
etc...

I would never have these checks in a function that just added numbers if I could guarantee that any values passed to it are correct.

The team in the article said that the config shouldn't return null so they didn't put checks before using that value. To me it seems like they missed necessary validation logic because they didn't the realize the full extend of the config.
