This is something a US President can change unilaterally, nationally - I.e. regardless of who ever’s in the Senate. Not sure of the nuance, of course.
> When you pass a law that affects so many ordinary people, you better be sure that's what they want

The reason we have a representative democracy is because sometimes legislators can make decisions that might be different from the typical voter who has not spent extensive time thinking about the issue.
> Good websites use graceful degradation.

Well not necessarily, if you are like 1-2 devs it's really hard to manage to make such a web application if it's a complicated one. And for what reason? So that you can cater to the 0.00001% of the users because they hate javascript for no other reason than that they hate it?

> Of course I couldn't do photo editing with that concept in a browser, but that's not what I use a browser for anyway.

Maybe not you, but I certainly use my browser for that kind of purpose as one example of several that won't work with javascript disabled.

> Having this fallback also has the advantage that it helps disabled users and users on poor network connections.

Yeah maybe having an alternative for drag n drop helps disabled users but just removing javascript doesn't help them at all. I would actually argue the reverse. With javascript you can do text to speech for example for people that may have bad eye sight. On poor networks a well written PWA works a lot better than a traditional server side generated page, depending a bit on the application itself of course. I would agree that because SPA apps need to do stuff the browser does for you, people simply don't build resilient enough apps that handles failures well.

There are many bad SPA apps out there, but also many good. I was travelling and used Airbnbs web app that was terrific when I had a bad connection. I could still open up cached content and access a lot of stuff even if some things wouldn't load which was very good for me.

If you don't want to use javascript but still want a SPA like feel there are alternatives like Phoenix Liveview for example. They still use javascript, but it works without it since it's just server side generated stuff. Unfortunately it doesn't work well on bad connection or at all when offline but I guess most sites would be ok with that trade off.

This does mean dealers can hold small amounts for sale at lower risk than before. Portland is already pretty accepting of open air drug markets though, so in reality not much may change.

You seem ill-informed on the issue. Prop 22 succeeded.
There have been attempts to categorize and measure the social harms caused by heavy users of various drugs, and the actual measurable impacts don’t really line up with what people worry about. The study I saw put alcohol at the top of the list, due to the social cost of drunken fights, spousal abuse, and DUIs.

I’m sure there are some public safety issues that we should deal with for the various “hard” drugs decriminalized here, but I also find it fascinating how much social desirability affects which drugs we decide are a problem that require special treatment, since I’ve never seen anyone recommend house arrest or curfews for alcoholics.
100%. Joe Bureaucrat doesn't give one whit about race conditions in his employer's business logic. He has no reason to.

My wife bought an HP printer about 15 years ago, and I've never had problems with it, but they wanted something like $500 for a memory upgrade, which was something like 128MB or 256MB, whatever was max for the printer. Even at that time, that was an absurd price. I was eventually able to find a third-party compatible memory module for about a 1/3 of the price.

But the printer has always worked well for us. Maybe this is from the days before HP got bad.

Can you imagine being married, having a vasectomy, and still using condoms? Awful. Might as well be celibate, fuck. That's no way to live. Condoms feel terrible. Double up with some other birth control and be monogamous so you don't have to worry about disease. And fucking feel something.

Condoms + vasectomy. Jesus. I'd rather eat nothing but kale the rest of my life than get a vasectomy and continue to use condoms with my wife.
I'm not particularly bothered that it might take another day or two for all the votes to be counted. I'd much rather have the devil I know than a bunch of automation and technology that might have bigger issues. Since it's not nationally controlled, and each US state (and county) can do what it wants, a big push to use tech is almost sure to backfire. And backfire in ways that aren't immediately obvious.

My thinkpad T490 has a "think shutter" which is basically a killswitch / cover for the webcam. Not sure if it mutes the mike or not. AFAIK, this is an optional feature that might not exist on all models.

Of course, you can always disassemble the laptop and unplug the webcam and microphone from the motherboard.

I agree that was not the right approach. I'm not sure this is the right approach either.

Keeping it criminalized, but as a summary offense with the punishment being an educational presentation/course on rehab options might provide some better outcomes. There are some tangentially related things to consider here too, like drug convictions preventing addicts from buying weapons.
And the counter-argument would be that the reason for possibilities of direct democracy is for situations like this where unions have achieved regulatory capture, such that a small number of people wield disproportionate influence and drive the legislature against what the people want
Thanks for your comment. This is something the team keeps top of mind and influences our decisions and road maps. Please continue to keep us honest here. I'll get others to weight in on this, but here's my personal opinion on the matter.

AppEngine has been around for a long time, 12 years to be exact, and in my mind it's a completely different product, and still one of our most successful. While Cloud Run competes with AppEngine on some fronts, customers really appreciate AppEngine's deep integration with other GCP managed services. It's a full blown PaaS.

I expect Cloud Run to improve over time and gain more features that will no doubt match the requirements of many AppEngine customers, some may switch to Cloud Run, but we are not forcing them to.

Cloud Functions already shares a lot of underlying infrastructure with Cloud Run, which shares a lot of underlying infrastructure with AppEngine, and that's by design. These days I like to think of Cloud Functions as a simplified developer experience on top of Cloud Run focused on task orientated workloads backed by events and triggers.

Can we continue to support 3 somewhat overlapping Serverless platforms going forward? I believe the answer is yes, thanks to the shared infrastructure, and the fact we truly believe all three platforms offer a unique set of developer experiences worth preserving. Maybe there is future state where one product satisfies all use cases, but that's not today, so we plan to keep listening to customers, and invest across the board.

One recent example of investing across the board: you can now leverage global load balancing[1] across all three Serverless platforms.

It's not related. The "page tearing" problem is caused by the way imgui handles events.

You describe the UI by making a bunch of function calls, each of which immediately renders a piece of the UI and returns any relevant events (e.g. render a button, return whether it has been clicked). But this means that any event that should change how the UI is rendered may have missed its chance- what if the changed part of the UI has already had its function called that frame?

The "ideal" dataflow, as far as this problem is concerned, would be to fully process all the events in a frame (from raw input, to widget-level events like button presses, to application-specific stuff) before rendering anything.
Shouldn't the election boards be reporting via Ethereum and not news orgs?
Even accepting that, what's the relevance to Prop 22/AB5 -- let alone my comment?

Here you have a system of ruleset 1 being applied to one group, and ruleset 2 being applied to another. The CA legislature passed AB5, which changed who ruleset 2 to applied to in a very arbitrary way. Prop 22 said, "oh, add this subgroup to 1, permanently, regardless of what the legislature does with anything else". Per my orginal comment, that's not an improvement, even you believe as you do.
According to the timelines linked there, the public consultations on this just closed few weeks ago.

Which is unfortunate for me, because I wasn't aware that there are such consultations until your comment :(.
Maybe that will inspire a similar approach elsewhere. Hopefully they don't have any safety lapses that threaten nuclear elsewhere. Not saying there's any reason to expect meltdowns, just that it wouldn't take much to undermine the public's faith in the technology.
> you better be sure that's what they want.

This logic makes no sense at all. For example, everyone wants a bunch of free money - should the Assembly pass a ton of bills that write blank checks with no budget changes to back them up? Everyone loves artificially low property taxes for existing residents, and that's been an unmitigated disaster for the state. The Assembly's job is to pass bills that positively benefit California as a state and as a society long-term. Sometimes that means certain groups will not be happy with the bills. It is extremely dubious to claim that Prop 22 is definitely a good thing for California and a strong society.
Seeking Alpha is a site with the worst usage of dark patterns I have seen on the internet, both in it's website design and in it's actual content. This article actually misses a lot of key macro points like that the Fed stopped expanding mzm months ago, and that the expansion of money supply has to reach consumers to become inflationary.

The differences in state and federal law will probably mute many second order commercial effects since any success will draw the attention of the feds either in the form of DEA customer scrutiny or commercial banking problems.

Maybe it could lead to some additional interest in cryptocurrency but the last mile of exchange between fiat and crypto has a dependency on the feds.
How to write good code:

1. Comment as much as possible, stating intention.

2. Don't duplicate code. You need a function that does something similar to another one, but slightly differs? Do not duplicate it. Less code is less maintenance.

3. Don't circlejerk over code quality, your goal as a programmer should be to write the best software you can. The end goal is the software, not the code. Stop circlejerking in pull requests, issue threads, wherever. Make the best software you can and move on to the next problem.

I work on a fraud team for a big loyalty program, and unfortunately, I can definitely see something like this happening within my organization. I don't think it's even necessary that this person's account got swept up when looking for similar transactions. It's very easy for the nuances of complicated situations like these to get lost as they pass through the organization.

Eventually the issue could've been forwarded to a lower level employee who spends 99.9% of their time reversing fraud caused by unrelenting fraudsters, and so they figured that must be what's going on here too. So they closed the account, closed any connected accounts, and sent a generic sternly worded email.

But equally likely is that Chase deliberately and short-shortsightedly thought, "this sort of shit just isn't something we want our customers to be doing; get rid of him."

Incarceration is what triggered a family member to finally have success fighting their addiction. Loss of job and family wasn't rock bottom for them. Incarceration was. And they've since rebuilt their life and their family. Incarceration was the trigger that made that possible.

I'm sympathetic to your point and to all who are subject to any drug or alcohol addiction. But I feel compelled to comment that incarceration is not always the inhumane dead-end that it's painted as. It's one of many tools that can be used to rehabilitate those in need.
> But it seems many people think Paris is the only way to do it.

The issue is rather that nobody really brings up any valid alternatives when they disagree with Paris.

Saying "bring manufacturing back" is not an valid alternative, it's wishful thinking that ignores how this current situation came about, while offering zero actual actionable advise how to reverse that development and fix the problem itself.

Manufacturing went to China because of laxer regulations there making it more cost-effective, how are you gonna convince it to come back to the US and EU with even harsher regulations?
> Drivers chose to work them in a fair economic transaction (I will trade my time for $X).

Just because it is a voluntary transaction does not mean it is fair or should never be changed. Same reason why I think a $7.25/hr federal minimum wage is permissible, even though it might proscribe some voluntary transactions.

If you are already using qt, gtk or wx, then dear imgui is not really aimed at you. The intended use case is more the situation where you already have what you term the backend, and you want to add a gui to your program.

(There's not much that's platform-specific in dear imgui, so you end up with a GUI that's as multiplatform as your program is.)

Uber and Lyft stock jump after Californian's vote to pass Prop 22
I have a hard time believing that claim when Uber and Lyft were massively abusing their own platforms and public reach to run bullshit campaigns on behalf of Prop 22. California's proposition system also doesn't have a great track record of enacting legislation that's actually a good thing in hindsight.
I normally like Glenn's writing but this is just FUD. Historically it has always taken days to count up all the votes due to the heterogeneity of the ballot systems used by the State's. Not to mention the actual electors in the College don't even vote until December - and aren't always faithful to the popular vote.

People are acting like this is the end of the world or some horrible crisis that we don't know the outcome instantly. Patience goes a long way.
I'm not so convinced. Seeing as I use a number of issue trackers and code review systems daily and most of them are trash. I'm very happy for git to serve as a compatible core and I can "easily" move between systems as they improve.

Basically I am glad that git does source control well. And I prefer that there is a marketplace of issue trackers, patch management and CI software layered on top. Until we have a clear excellent solution I don't think there is a need to bind them together.

Let there be choice!
I think it's hard to seriously claim that there is regulatory capture of the legislature by unions in America, but okay.

If incarceration was a common rock bottom that addicts could build up from, I might agree with you, but knowing what we know about recidivism among addicts, it is likelier to be an aggregate negative even if a few people find a way to recover during their sentence.
This is great, but it's unfortunate that they didn't also include the right to disable any data collection. My car's data should be available to me and me alone, full stop. If I choose to share it with my mechanic or the manufacturer, that's my business. The manufacturer shouldn't have any access without an explicit opt-in from me, and refusing to opt-in should not affect the sale. I should also be able to control what data they can see if I choose to share it. The manufacturer has a legitimate concern about certain operational parameters if I'm asking them to perform a repair under warranty (did I redline the engine?), but they have absolutely no legitimate use, ever, for location data.

World War I was significantly different from previous wars in many ways due to advances in science and technology.

One of the earliest inventions that completely changed warfare at the start of World War I was the machine gun, which saw its first large-scale use in the 1914 German campaign against Belgian forts. Machine guns had been used in the Russo-Japanese War, but not to this extent and not with such terrible efficiency. Dan Carlin covers this topic in great detail in his fascinating 23h+ podcast series "Blueprint for Armageddon".
That's what I mean, though. They have decades of data at this point, you can likely guess what the theft rate is.
