I truly don’t understand this. People are so opposed to governments adding more and more censorship, especially when it comes to China and what has been happening in HK. And now, they’re almost cheering this as a good thing, just because their hatred for Facebook. It seems people are okay with arbitrarily deciding we can ban websites, as long as they support that decision. How is that any different from a dictatorship deciding what their people can and can’t see?
I didn't notice before but you're right, it was a bot that closed it/commented. So this could just be a runaway automation problem.

It’s the head of apple security. That is Apple. Apple would do well to swiftly terminate their relationship and get in front with PR statements of their own and further acts to minimize blowback. Then, when the head of security has his day in court, Apple will be vindicated. Then, and only then, is it the head of security. Until that point it’s entirely Apple (and why companies make such a big deal about anti-bribery training)

FWIW, it would be just as bad of a look if instead the head of security’s wife was engaged in this scheme at her own workplace. And Apple would be 100% correct to still terminate their relationship for fear of bad press
>The US system doesn't even benefit the wealthy.

That's a ridiculous statement, it benefits the wealthy massively. We can argue over whether or not these benefits would be even more massive without over-treatment, but there is no doubt about the overall benefits to the wealthy.

>A Harvard analysis of 1.4 billion Internal Revenue Service records on income and life expectancy that showed staggering differences in life expectancy between the richest and poorest also found evidence that low-income residents in wealthy areas, such as New York City and San Francisco, have life expectancies significantly longer than those in poorer regions.

Wow even with my now poorly trained attention span I couldn't peel away. Very impressive! I would long to see a whole story told in this way.
It's scrolled off the blog feed.

This link goes to the piece:

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/live/2020/nov/24/...

"The inspector general of intelligence and security, Jake Blight, has revealed Australia’s spy agencies collected data in the Covidsafe contact tracing app in the past seven months.

In his first report on the use of the data, Blight found Australia’s spy agencies had policies in place to ensure Covidsafe app data was not intentionally collected, but there had been “incidental collection in the course of lawful collection of other data” and that was permitted under the Privacy Act."

I wonder if this bit:

"had policies in place to ensure Covidsafe app data was not intentionally collected, but there had been “incidental collection in the course of lawful collection of other data”"

Means they hoovered some FCovidSafe app data up from phones they did bulk extractions on, or if they "incidentally collected" it when imaging a rack or two of servers in an AWS datacenter?
You can just use ghcup and cabal. The cutover you're nix-style cabal builds has happened and they are excellent.

You can even just use ghcup and cabal but work against a Stackage LTS snapshot for added ease.

If you end up using Nix in the future, barely anything will change for you if you start with bare cabal. It's additive, not a replacement.

Same goes for if you use stack as an enhancement, although a big appeal of stack is its own CLI.
My company training also states that in situations where you are in possible danger, you should pay the bribe and then document and report it (with the company). For instance, you and a co-worker is in a car accident, you are fine, but your co-worker has a broken leg, you go with your co-worker to the hospital, upon arriving at the hospital you are told the doctor has gone home for the day, but for the right price, someone might be able to get him/her back. There is a "Safe Harbor" exception in these cases, however you must document and report.
You are a pathetic, pathetic, pathetic person. I'm aghast that you don't understand that.

You attempted to hijack my thread with your ignorance. You have beyond been proven wrong. You haven't been restrained. You've been ignorant. You don't belong here.

I'm not talking about heptology. I'm talking about music.

I don't like using the word "piano" for quiet, "forte" for loud, "retardando" for slow down, etc. I don't like using 7 letters and sharps/flats/naturals to describe 12 notes. I don't like using keys and clefs to obfuscate notation. I don't like demanding everything be Ionian-mode centric.

I offer the following improvements: Replace historic words like "allegro" with sensible replacements like "faster". Replace the 12 different Ionian-mode centric keys and "accidentals" with a single chromatic notation. Make a notation that expresses a wider range without relying on ledger lines, and ditch clefs all together.

And above all, stop rejecting every change that diverges from the status quo out of hand. Actually consider real changes, instead of worshiping the 17th century system we use today as if it's the epitome of perfection.

The offer is open if you ever change your mind (e.g. if the cost becomes annoyingly large when you scale up further).
I don't understand some details about Nix when people talk about it. Forgive me for being ignorant.

* Do packages need to be 'ported' to Nix or its build / install system? If so, how much effort will it take and on what factors the effort required to port may vary substantially? (eg: Programming Language).

* How is disk space usage? Is there any kind of deduplication?

* How are security updates to shared libraries handled?

* Transactional upgrades look great. But how is the user experience around Transactional upgrades of running GUI applications?

* Other performance characteristics - bandwidth (delta upgrades possible?), startup time (I hope this will be good)..
+1. It's reasonable for projects with large backlogs to do a quick prune with lower quality, either via manually or via tooling.

If something is particularly pressing, it will re-appear. It's not ideal, but neither is a large backlog.

> The City Attorney's Office's simultaneous investigation has already revealed a relationship between former Public Works director Mohammed Nuru and local entrepreneur Nick Bovis, in which Bovis appears to have taken donations from his charity (Lefty O'Doul's Foundation for Kids), given by city contractors, and funneled them to cover DPW holiday parties. Now it looks like the feds are following up on this pattern and trying to see if there are more examples of city vendors possibly disguising bribes that benefited city employees as charitable gifts.

> There is a big difference: in science you observe and try to understand something that already exists, the universe.

An important part of CS research is empirical. It's not because you have designed something yourself, that you don't need to observe it to understand it, or that you can answer any question about this thing analytically.

For example, the folks from high performance computing conduct loads of experiments to observe and understand which CPU design work best and why. Deep Learning people also run lots of experiments understand which model is easier to train and corroborate theoretical results from learning theory. etc.
There needs to be a standard bidding mechanism for buying/selling energy on the market.

No, not a spot market in electricity. California tried that two decades ago, with an auction every 15 minutes. It was such a disaster that PG&E, which had lobbied for it, went bankrupt. Speculators caused blackouts. The current system has a market, but it's a day-ahead system where generators bid to provide power tomorrow, and there's a small spot market for fine-tuning.

> you must prove the innocence of your seized assets to get them back

This isn't true. The burden of evidence in civil asset forfeiture is still on the state. The standard is preponderance of doubt, as per the norm in civil court, not the higher standard of beyond a reasonable doubt, but a civil forfeiture case still requires a judge or jury to convict your assets.

From Wikipedia:

> The government simply files a civil action in rem against the property itself, and then generally must prove, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the property is forfeitable under the applicable forfeiture statute. Civil forfeiture is independent of any criminal case, and because of this, the forfeiture action may be filed before indictment, after indictment, or even if there is no indictment. Likewise, civil forfeiture may be sought in cases in which the owner is criminally acquitted of the underlying crimes ...

It’s interesting to break this down by state: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territ.... As a benchmark, life expectancy in Germany is about 81 years, while Sweden is a bit over 82. In Minnesota, it’s 80.9, which isn’t far off. New York is over 81, Massachusetts is 80.5. Even less wealthy states like Arizona, North Dakota, and Utah are at 79.9.

It’s also interesting to break this down by ethnicity. Asians in the US are longer lived than people in rich Asian countries like Japan. Asians in California and New York have life expectancies over 87, even though they have slightly higher than average rates of lacking health insurance.
So, everyone is discussing the merit of VSCode instead of the bug in question; given this, I, too, shall give my opinion: if I want an extensible, portable, good text editor that has a great community... I'm just going to use Vim. Hell, I even abandoned my 20 year old config just to go use SpaceVim because of how great the community is.

If I want an IDE that is designed for a specific language? I use IntelliJ for Java/Kotlin projects, Visual Studio for C#, and nothing else really needs an IDE (as in, IntelliJ's siblings based on the same core IDE? I don't really benefit from them).

Where I see VSCode being used the most? Among non-programmers, programmers of beginner languages (Python, Javascript, et al), or among younger programmers that haven't taken the time to learn more ergonomic editors.

I also see it being used among some C/C++ and C# programmers... but I don't get the point, VSCode doesn't even really understand a lot of IDE concepts, for example: it doesn't understand the difference between a workspace and a project, yet gives people the obvious footgun of multi-root projects in the form of a workspace-by-name-but-not-by-concept.

I tried VSCode for like three days, and seriously cannot understand the draw of it for its advertised purpose (Visual Studio Lite), when its really just a code-oriented text editor, and Vim will always be more ergonomic for that purpose (assuming, of course, you're willing to learn how to be ergonomic).

Edit: Also, a lot of VSCode and Atom fans bring up LSPs: I can use those from Vim.
So you don't think those riots, looting, civl unrest etc had anything to do with the militarization of police and the lack of accountability of law enforcement and public officials in general? Not a response to the George Floyd incident or the countless other incidents that are shockingly similar? Just a random media driven mob out there protesting things that don't actually reflect reality?

Because that is what a "whipped up mob" is. Not angry citizens demanding responsible and accountable law enforcement and action toward that end from their elected officials and unelected police forces.

If someone unexpectedly approaches and gets within 10 yards of me, how long will it take me to put on my mask? Can I do so before that person's within 2 yards?

Better to just leave it on and leave it be rather than spend all day fumbling with it. That is:

Wearing a mask when out in public is that steady state. Taking it off because you think you're alone is a deviation from that steady state.

I tried it this weekend as I wanted to convert a Flask prototype into something in a typed language. I’ve used Servant (Haskell) for other prototypes. For this particular demo, there were more JSON REST endpoints than “pages”, so both Servant and Http4s (Scala) felt more natural here to me.

Installing it was easy, even though this was my first time using Nix. I think shipping things with Nix, especially when what you ship is integrated, can be superior in Haskell to using stack or cabal. (Stack is easier, cabal is more flexible, neither handle dependencies outside of Haskell.)

I’ll definitely come back and check it out for another prototype soon. :)
For some reason VS Code will hang and not allow interaction or input for around 25-30 seconds. I have noticed this mostly when deleting a Python file and sometimes while editing Python.

It's funny, because Electron was literally invented for Atom (note the wordplay!). I was a long-time holdout for Atom; I didn't want to ditch the original for the Microsoft takeover. But eventually I had no choice but to relent. Atom just got really sluggish once you had a few plugins running, and VSCode runs like a dream.

My speculation is that it had to do with the plugin architecture. Atom was very open-ended; writing a plug-in there, even an intellisense one, was more like writing a browser extension. Your code could just do whatever it wanted, including (easily) step on the toes of other code operating alongside it. You could literally have multiple different plugins implementing an intellisense UI, and then different language plugins would depend on different ones. And then they'd draw over each other, etc. VSCode on the other hand, a) includes lots of frameworks like a debugging UI and an intellisense UI out of the box so that there's a common standard, and b) exposes clean and clear APIs for common stuff, enabling extensions to be much more cooperative with each other and with the editor itself (which not only avoids conflicts, but improves performance too). It's like the iOS app philosophy vs the Android app philosophy.
Not sure the claimed behavior counts as a memory leak? As long as it will re-use the allocated memory the next time it needs it, it seems fine to not free up memory allocated? That's how many programs work. For example many `Vector` implementations will never shrink even if you use less memory, many apps and even allocators will store freed objects in a cache for later re-allocation, etc.
Look at it differently. In some countries, say Russia, the system and laws are designed in such a way that bribes are needed to do business. Simple as that. Don't pay bribes and 100 cops and forensic accountants will show at your headquarters, closing it down and jailing you.

Now, Apple HAS to protect its headquarters and people. For that you need licenses which apparently weren't given. So, close Apple headquarters down or...? 99.99% of the fault here lies with the laws /state. The problem can be solved by donating before you ask the for "favors," so no quid-pro-quo. I'd think that Apple generates quite a bit of business for the county /state so they should favor them a bit. Or at least don't try to stop them.
When the Dutch built windmills it wasn't the lack of metallurgy that prevented generators. It was just that generators weren't invented yet. Electricity was barely understood during the Dutch Golden Age.
> Sounds to me like you have underpowered hardware.

It's a text editor. It should run fine on whatever hardware I have. In this case, it's a fairly modern 15" MacBook Pro so even a full featured IDE should be just fine.
