I believe this is exactly the kind of “Judicial Activism” that would get the right up in arms if it was the left doing it.

In theory I like the idea of judicial conservatism; not attempting to change the law and merely interpreting it. But in practice that seems to be applied in ideologically narrow ways.

Yeah, I work in advanced safety systems, and I'm pretty comfortable with most of those things. They have their limitations, and there are times when they should be turned off, but on the whole I appreciate them. Blind-spot warning in particular, but that's pretty old now. (Incidentally, the auto braking likely would've kicked in if you hadn't reacted on your own, but it's set to not touch anything until it's at the panic-stop point. This is partly to keep drivers from getting lazy and relying on it.)

What bugged me about the Tesla was the controls more than anything. There's no "off". There's no manual anything, and the overrides are buried so deep in the touchscreen, heaven help you if you forget where one is located. The car knows when it should be on, and when it should lock and unlock, and if you have different ideas about those things (heaven forbid you want to leave it unlocked while it's parked in a garage), you're going to have a bad time.

I gotta call those folks up and ask for my deposit back, I'm never gonna use it.

"Esperanto Is Not Dead: Can The Universal Language Make A Comeback?"

I'm not trying to be that guy but, looking at the title for this piece I'm thinking: Esperanto is dead and, it is not a universal language.

"... Humphrey Tonkin, an English professor at the University of Hartford in Connecticut. He taught himself Esperanto at age 14, and then used it to travel across Eastern Europe and beyond."

I feel like this needs some clarification.
I am interested to know how people feel about whether working inside of Cloud9 on dedicated AWS development is a plus when it comes to pen-testing/security auditing.

Google for information on pretty much any business niche area. It has to be niche. It can't be broad like "web development" or "web design." More like web development for automotive suppliers who use Magento for large B2B orders.

Doesn't have to be tech related. For example; M&A tax issues, defending age discrimination lawsuits as a small business, investment advice for American expats in Europe, increasing crop yield for soybean production, etc. etc.

If you don't see blog posts from a consultant or company who sells to that niche, look up the google search traffic for the specific phrase you used, and if its significant, then you've discovered a business idea.

You can bet in the next 10-20 years every single one of those niches is eventually going to be filled and the competition is only going to get worse. The best time to start is now.

Can you name any other instructions with the name of a programming language in the actual instruction name?

No? Then it seems way more specific than the other examples you listed. So specific that it’s only applicable to a single language and that language is in the instruction name. That’s surprising, like finding an instruction called “python GIL release”.
Zamenhof’s optimism isn’t as universally admired as you suggest. First of all, the Yugoslav wars stand as bloody proof that even if neighbors can understand each other and speak more or less the same language, they can just find something else to fight over.

Secondly, Zamenhof was still writing from an Enlightenment-era framework that saw language diversity as a problem, something to systematize away. In our modern era, there is a lot of support for preserving indigenous cultures, and some of Zamenhof’s views can be shocking today. Starting in the 1970s the Esperanto movement tried to hitch its wagon to the language-diversity movement, but this attempt has been rather half-hearted, plus World Esperanto Association is obliged by statute to be politically neutral, so it can’t comment on the most common instances of language discrimination (i.e. when a strong centralized state cracks down on the minority peoples within its borders).

I have been out of the Esperanto movement for quite some years now, but among the most active Esperantists who attended the annual European congresses frequently and tried to maintain a social life in the language, Zamenhof was not someone anyone ever thought about much. Those super-idealistic Esperantists who praised Zamenhof and banged on about world peace, were seen as weirdos and a target of mockery.
> In practice, it is a tool for those who don't occupy the commanding heights of a culture to push back against those who do.

But isn't the article arguing the exact opposite?

It warns that those in power now use the shield of "free speech" to push propaganda and lies in order to undermine truth and democracy and thereby attempt to preserve power. Which is not something anyone saw coming, and which deserves to be treated as a serious danger.

This is completely and utterly different from using free speech to promote civil rights, transparency, etc. The New Left wasn't weaponizing free speech to spread disinformation, so the two situations would appear to be completely distinct.
I get what you’re saying, but the main complain I have is that Chase gave no indication that the funds were not guaranteed once the check appeared to have cleared

I do this with VSCode Remote (SSH). It “feels” like a local binary but since you’re actually connected to in my case an EC2 VM (which transparently picks up IAM credentials in the instance metadata), when you run the terminal you can connect to all the resources in the VPC. It’s really convenient.

No, Twain was satirising the whole ridiculous idea that trying to regularise the spelling of English is a good idea.

English has homonyms and homophones in part because it is always open to taking words from other languages. In fact "We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."

Any attempt to force English to be strictly 'pronounced as written' will fail in the future even if it succeeds in the present because someone will import a word from another language that sounds like an existing word or invent a new one unaware that a word of the same pronunciation already exists or just attach a new meaning to an existing word.

First comment on question: “The JavaScript engine has to do this operation (which is called ToInt32 in the spec) whenver you apply a bitwise operator to a number and at various other times (unless the engine has been able to maintain the number as an integer as an optimization, but in many cases it cannot). – T.J. Crowder”

Edit: From https://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/5.1/#sec-9.5

9.5 ToInt32: (Signed 32 Bit Integer)

The abstract operation ToInt32 converts its argument to one of 2 integer values in the range −2³¹ through 2³¹−1, inclusive. This abstract operation functions as follows:

Let number be the result of calling ToNumber on the input argument.
If number is NaN, +0, −0, +∞, or −∞, return +0.
Let posInt be sign(number) * floor(abs(number)).
Let int32bit be posInt modulo 2³²; that is, a finite integer value k of Number type with positive sign and less than 2³² in magnitude such that the mathematical difference of posInt and k is mathematically an integer multiple of 2³².
If int32bit is greater than or equal to 2³¹, return int32bit − 2³², otherwise return int32bit.

NOTE Given the above definition of ToInt32:

The ToInt32 abstract operation is idempotent: if applied to a result that it produced, the second application leaves that value unchanged.

ToInt32(ToUint32(x)) is equal to ToInt32(x) for all values of x. (It is to preserve this latter property that +∞ and −∞ are mapped to +0.)

ToInt32 maps −0 to +0.

Is it? Using tech as an example, often I've found that the only difference is currency conversion and sales tax. Take the PS5 for example, it's advertised at $499 or £449. £449 is ~$580, but in the post-brexit years, it could be anywhere between $540 and $630. That number is also the actual price you pay, including sales taxes. If you're in the US, you would pay anywhere between 4% and 13.5% on top, so somewhere between $518 and $566.

> Before I answer that, let me return for the moment to Dewey Decimal 663: beverage technology. It turns out that in my very first professional job, as an intern thirty years ago, I had a colleague, a chemist, who had worked in beverage technology. The summer before he had been an intern and was given the task of figuring out if there was a particular chemical that gave whisky the distinctive taste of being aged in an oak cask. The company figured if they could isolate the chemical maybe they could just mix it in, and skip five or ten years of aging. So my friend went into the lab and isolated what he thought might be the right compound. He ordered a small vial from a chemical supply company (remember, this was before online shopping and email, so they had to actually write words on paper) and mixed up a batch. It tasted pretty good. (Why can't we computer scientists get research projects that involve consuming alcohol?) My friend was duly congratulated, and he wrote to the chemical supply company and asked for a 55 gallon drum of the stuff. They wrote back, saying "we regret that we can not fill your order because we are currently low on stock and, as I'm sure you know, to produce this chemical we need to age it in oak casks for five years."

> There is not sufficient communication between the various layers of software.

I disagree with this. In fact, my conclusion is the opposite. It's a good pattern to limit the complexity of communication between different layers and have strong encapsulation of state.
The simpler an interface is, the easier it is to integrate with other components and the less likely it is to run into integration issues and expose vulnerabilities.

The simpler the interface (with fewer, simpler endpoints), the fewer e2e scenarios you need to account for, this allows you to build more stable, more secure software which is easier to test.
Modules which expose a large number of endpoints tend to encourage micromanagement of that module's internal state and this leads to issues.

You need to have clear separation of concerns between layers and components in order to be able to come up with the simplest interface possible which allows different components to interact.

Chaos engineering is brilliant for improving the resilience, safety and availability of a system, but I'm not sure it would help improve the security of a system to the degree that the author describes, i.e. to prevent the SoftLayer firmware hack.

We need more knowledge, more education, more auditing, more communication, and this across all levels of the stack. If we use abstraction, perhaps we need to recognize that abstraction does not absolve us of the responsibility for auditing the implementation, and that abstraction has not only value but also cost.

To make this easier across so many dimensions, we probably want to simplify our stacks and minimize our dependencies and supply chains far more drastically than we do.

There's also a cost to all this understanding, and it comes down to what the business values. Security or velocity. But perhaps you can get both, especially as you design for simpler systems.
