Do you have code snippet examples for handling effectful code and testing it (kinda like a monad where you read from a DB). Would love to see snippets around that.
I can see where I was confusing. I meant that voting is a fundamental right in our system, not that our current system takes away that right.

In any case, I would consider a policy that removes the right to vote from a class of people to be taking away a right, whether or not you grandfather people in. In the long term, it's a regressive policy.
maybe they're environmentalists? seems like a deadly virus is good for global warming and habitat extinction.

Only half of the last sentence, the conclusion, was repeated. But with space not being at a premium, I would happily restate something from up-thread because it can make it easier to read and reply to.

> If the worse-case engineering disaster ... millions would have died.

No, I don't think so. I think you'd need an engineered, as in intentional, disaster for that. Like terrorists.

And engineering disaster (improper planning) is what Fukushima had. That's very unlikely to be improper enough to kill an entire city because engineering mistakes tend to be planned for to some degree and mitigated by building redundant systems.

Very unlikely to cause a disaster, as in almost impossible even if you tried to form the same materials into a bomb.
I do agree with the thesis that nobody got fired for using React. I don't however think that the conclusion is to use React anywhere for anything.

From what I read here, what happened here is that this developer has good knowledge of React for having used it repeteadly in the past. At the same time, he did not have experience in lit or svelte. He hit some issues and then went back to the things he knows better. It is more comfortable and more productive, there is no doubt about that. The conclusion is more like, you will write your app faster in the language, environment, and framework that you already master. I agree with that. Change one of those, and you will go through some moments of loneliness. Change two of those, you may just fail the project entirely.

What is true, and proven by many data points, is that you can write complex applications with lit-html, svelte, elm or just vanilla-JS. GitHub is not a web graphics editor but it is entirely vanilla JS. Hum, po*n apparently use plenty of vanilla JS too (https://davidwalsh.name/pornhub-interview). IBM implemented their Carbon design system in Svelte. Adobe's adaptive color tool (https://leonardocolor.io/?colorKeys=%236fa7ff&base=ffffff&ra...) is entirely in vanilla-JS. The list is long.

So what we have here is one anecdote from one person. All data points issued from real experience are welcome, valid and useful but we should be careful to not get to conclusions too fast.
Yes, but I won't be an early adopter.
I will second this. I would much rather hire an engineer who has a related background and wants to learn over an engineer with the exact skillset but does not want to learn. It may take a few months, but the former engineer will pick up what you want them to know (if you mentor them correctly), and past that inversion point, they are immensely more valuable.
Yes, that's a much better way to put it. It just seems ironic to me that after decades of policies leading to a wealthy California the same detractors are claiming that the liberalism was the problem. My most charitable interpretation they think recently the policies have gotten too progressive and that's causing the exodus, as opposed to the wealth causing the high COL.
This is very, very, very far from a solved problem. It is not at all clear that flagging posts does anything to limit the spread of false information. Even when we know that the information we are reading is false, we can still end up believing it, especially if we are distracted or under time pressure [1]. Yesterday, the Lawfare podcast did an interview with a researcher studying misinformation, disinformation, and mal-information which I suggest people check out if they want to learn more about the issue [2].

First time. The side effects were not a big deal at all, but they were more than I get from a flu shot.
That sounds like take screenshots so we can call them out later, not make lists/lock them up.
Totally disagree. In software you have vibrant alumni communities from Trilogy, Indeed, HomeAway/VRBO, etc., not to mention tech giants that have large engineering outposts in Austin, e.g. Google, PayPal.
This isn't at all universally true, it depends on the costs of failure. If you're programming a Mars rover, then sure, avoiding mistakes is paramount. If you're writing a one-off data analysis script that only has to work once and only has to be mostly accurate, spending a week coming up with the ideal specification and writing a full comprehensive test suite is usually much less productive than hacking at it for a few hours until it works. Good software developers know when to make the appropriate safety tradeoffs given the goals and constraints of the task at hand.
You have a right to say whatever you want to whomever you want without fear of government retaliation, as long as it isn't "hate speech" in a fairly narrow legal sense. This is what "having free speech in society" has always meant.

The government will also punish people who commit crimes against you merely because they dislike your words, which frees you to say things you might otherwise keep to yourself.

What you don't have a right to do is amplify your message using the massively powerful social-media megaphones which are created and owned by tech companies. If you want to amplify a message that these companies find strongly objectionable, you'll have to build your own megaphone, or find one owned by someone with different views from Google/Facebook/Twitter.

That said, I wonder if it's sufficient to reduce the amount of amplification rather than outright censoring things the company disagrees with. For example, YouTube could let conspiracy videos be hosted but leave it up to viewers to discover them rather than recommending them in search or "related videos". It seems likely that censoring will have unintended consequences.
True, and filing lawsuits is not the same as violent, armed insurrection.
I think people moving may like the politics of where they're moving to, in the abstract. But they get there, and they decide they'd like something between where they are and where they came from - say, 25% California and 75% Texas. But that's still trying to move Texas, not all the way to California, but in that direction. To those already in Texas, that raises hackles.
> Would you be comfortable convicting those people with attempted murder?

No, attempted murder requires specific intent. For the most egregious conduct when they know they are at particularly high risk of being a spreader, even without intent, if someone actually dies, it might arguably be close to depraved-indifference rather than intent-to-kill murder, but more generally negligent homicide if they actually kill people and reckless endangerment, otherwise, would be closer selections from the generically-common American set of crimes. But I’m not arguing they should be criminally liable; saying that an act is not beyond moral blame is not the same that it technically fits — or, even if it does, should necessarily be prosecuted as — a crime.
After an aggressive post sales upsell call: "You must buy more licenses" I laughed at them, dropped them, and they went on my "I Don't Work With Bastards" list. Of course one doesn't always have a choice, but with that list in mind, I often end up with more choice than expected. See also: last man on earth, ten foot pole.
Ah, that's fair. Generally a buffer on a relevant Org file is never not visible to me, so I don't really need org-capture and went with a keymap based on the direct-to-template invocation described in the linked documentation.

I also use a Mac for work, but tend to forget about all the complex gymkhana I go through with keyboard prefs and Karabiner-Elements to get its keyboard to behave like those of the Linux and Windows machines I use. Since that includes remapping Caps to Command outside Emacs, and Command to Control inside it, that all probably makes my keybinding advice a little useless, or at least worth more consideration of how things would be in a closer-to-stock configuration.
Everyone keeps saying this like it's a bad thing! I didn't leave the house for three months back in March, and it was great. The ability to work from home, a functioning Internet, and a pre-existing Brexit stockpile which came in handy unexpectedly early. I would happily be dropped to the bottom of the vaccine queue.
Someone just replied saying that they "fundamentally don't care" if they spread the virus because "we'll all die of stupid things". They deleted it or a mod removed it.

The vaccines have already been tested in tens of thousands of people.
We have Cypress tests that call our database directly and get information out, call 3rd party APIs to get information back, and call our APIs we've specifically created ourselves to help Cypress tests. It's pretty flexible; I'm just not sure how much this flexibility might bite us in the future.
Do you use Rackspace? Have you had to call to delete a VM?
We've been VERY slowly moving some legacy applications from Rackspace over to AWS.
After we migrate one and we're sure everything is good we delete the old VM. We've been doing this all of 2019 and 2020 (probably even a little in 2018). Never once have I had to call to get a VM deleted until today where I received a message saying I had to call them. This involved getting routed to "the team that handles these", then giving my PIN (which is in the web console), waiting on hold, and typing "I agree" in a support ticket they opened. Total waste of time. They claimed additional security but I was able to to do all this from the web console after I called them. They also suggested that I just shut it down for a few days in case there were some weekly jobs running I might care about...

We're down to only 4 VMs at this point and I have a feeling this is an attempt to hold onto some customers. Anyone else had this experience?

Hundreds of hours, perhaps. But not for the entire life of the engine. If a modern passenger car engine could put out 200 hp nonstop for years on end, every semi-truck manufacturer would be putting a BMW engine in it, instead of a huge cast iron Cummins. But I'm pretty sure you'd spin a bearing, or wear out the cylinder liner, or burn a valve.
Sorry about your brother. These platforms are designed for feedback loops. That has nothing to do with free speech or a legal protection to spread libel.

People need to realize that ANY website where a user submits content for is not classified as free speech.
A tweet isn’t free speech.
A post on Reddit isn’t free speech.
These are “articles and or content provided by the public for enhancements to our platform” or whatever EULA legalese they use.

Yeah, like I said, banning a bunch of videos from one genre right now looks bad and people have a right to be upset over it. It’s still YouTube’s legal right to choose which content they want to showcase on their platform.

They hold all the power here. Content creators are at their mercy as far as compensation, views, inclusion in the recommendation engine, etc. then cry foul when the company moves in another direction. Down-leg economics. Specialized businesses based on a supply of value from another business. It’s not a sustainable model for anyone on the 3rd rung.
I'm normally fairly laissez-faire about the morality of "exploiting" employees, but that works both ways - if you can't find people for the amount of money you're charging then tough shit

> Your statement contradicts itself. If in fact the oppressors are targeting both white and black people to maintain power, then they are by definition not targeting only one race and would instead be classist/elitist.

Elites don't promote racism because they're racists, they promote racism because it's a mechanism of control.

Racism as a theory is pseudoscience bullshit. There is no scientific basis for race even existing. We're all humans. The only people who believe otherwise are the victims of propaganda.

> I fail to see how the citizenship test would lead to the rich getting richer.

It could benefit them if the subset of people it prevents from voting would vote for things they wouldn't like.

Also, some policies are nothing but collateral damage. Elites get the proles fighting each other and each coalition starts demanding aversarial policies that harm the outgroup and neither hurt nor help the elites, but keep everyone distracted and fighting each other. The elites don't care which policy like that is implemented as long as it keeps people too busy fighting each other over it to pay attention to certain other things.

It benefits the rich because the proponent-victims spend their political capital to implement the policy and then the opponent-victims spend their political capital to repeal it instead of either of them spending that political capital to do anything that benefits the poor at the expense of the rich.

> I thought that if you were at global scope it loaded the whole global scope dictionary as the current-scope-array?

No, it doesn't. There are two separate opcodes involved: LOAD_FAST loads a local variable from the local array based on its index; LOAD_GLOBAL loads a global variable based on the global dictionary lookup.
I remember in the mid-90s, living in Seattle just as one wave of "californication" was drawing to a close and just before the tech boom would start an even crazier rise in housing costs there .... listening to some local talk radio show. A caller was complaining about Californians coming to WA/Seattle and doing just what you describe. The radio host said "well, it takes two to tango, those prices going up reflect the actions of both buyers and sellers, not just buyers".

The caller was indignant: "It would be un-American not to try to get the highest possible price for your property"

The defense rests.
I'll take it, but the headline "White House orders FDA chief to authorize Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine Friday or submit his resignation" in WaPo is absolutely horrifying.

What the hell were they thinking. There's already enough vaccine hesitancy before people found out that this was rammed through under political pressure. They're going to (continue to) get people killed.
You're talking about the employee while the GP is talking about the employer. Both have their income (personal or corporate) taxes, so both statements are true.
While noble to give to the more acutely affected people first, I think distribution at random makes more sense since that decreases the ability of the virus to grow. I'll let the epidemiologists be my guide however.

A fun exercise is writing a lexer generator or a parser generator. It's probably easier starting out with writing a lexer generator like Flex for your favourite language. I recommend using the Flex input format, than you can test your creation using Flex as a testing oracle! This is not something you can do in a weekend.
Looked for managerialism, as this is what I think Musk's objection is caused by. Warren Buffet famously said, “I try to invest in businesses that are so wonderful that an idiot can run them. Because sooner or later, one will.”

Institutionalized management rewards a set of skills that are not the ones that create growth, which is sort of the point. They find growth and then "manage," it on behalf of other people who "manage" money. It's the classic principal-agent problem, where managers as a class have enriched themselves at the expense of owners like pensioners, savers, entrepreneurs, and taxpayers.

IMO, the whole managerial problem is caused by a mix of high and complex tax regimes, and low interest rates. The former is a make work policy for a clerical worker class, and the latter means banks become the cultural and political centre of everything. It causes the economic shift from making things people want, to doing things nobody wants.
If billionaires want to take part to the clinical trials go ahead. I mean they look for volunteers all the times.

That's a straw-man retort. I never said every task requires one to go up a mountain. I only said that sometimes a software developer has reason to stop and think.

Also I would suggest that ad-hoc analyses and other such hacks are unlikely to lead to PRs and other visible artifacts.

I'm thinking of things like r36m, but I guess it is used for non-mirv too. Warhead size is irrelevant as they use Mylar radar decoys or something right? Those can appear as any size so I was focusing on the launch vehicle size for monitoring.

Speed may be a differentiator like you originally said, I'm not sure if they need to end up around the same speed anyway for reentry or not (ones targeting high altitude blast for EMP maybe don't need to reentry at all?).

Strictly speaking, D is not context free nor is any statically typed programming language. That said most languages, including D, have supersets that are context free and can be used to build an AST which can then be refined further with context sensitive checks (ie. variables are used after declaration) and then even further with type checks.

Many language tools don't need a full blown language parser and can get by with a context-free parser for the language's superset. Things like autocompletion, spell checking, documentation/highlighting can all be implemented using context-free parsers.

Yes. And it can be impacted at a municipality level, as well as a state or county level too. So the city of Seattle might have a different way they tax these things than the city of Redmond, in addition to whatever taxes are levied by King County or Washington State.

ETA: there are very real reasons big companies have reconfigured workspaces and it isn’t about worker efficiency studies or even fitting more people into a space, but about taxes.
Other way around, it's the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine.
Great distinction.

The anti-MBA movement is really trying to redefine what an MBA means. Bad business decisions are "M.B.A.-ization". Good business decisions are... something else. Therefore, MBAs are bad.

There are plenty of bad MBAs running around, but it's no different than how we also have plenty of bad software developers out there despite having C.S. degrees. In both cases, the worst offenders are over-represented in the talent pool because they're more frequently pushed out of companies, while the best talent is locked up with high compensation.
Nothing is going to matter unless you wake up yourself and go do something about emissions. Nobody is going to do it for you while you are sleeping.

You're blaming the protestors for having illegal toxins used against them? I'm confused.
If you want to distort the statistics, you can do this the other direction, too. It's common for people in Seattle to point out that they don't file police reports for theft because it's a bunch of work waiting on the police to arrive (it can take hours) and filling out a police report only for the police/prosecutors/judges to literally do nothing about it. So anecdotally, people say property crime is underreported.

Also, police departments and mayors have every incentive to keep reported crime lower. The LAPD, for instance, has a history of underclassifying crimes to maintain appearances that their city was safe: https://www.latimes.com/local/crime/la-me-lapd-reclass-20141...

Also, the OP specifically pointed to 10-year statistics, not 20. Isn't it at all concerning that we're erasing all the progress we've made over the course of decades?
I think pre-emptive enforcement of something like this is extremely difficult without getting downright creepy and invasive. The best you can do is drop the hammer on anyone greedy and dumb enough to get caught - and I'm sure there will be some of these! But personally, I prefer vaccines where the chain of custody didn't require massive bribery and risk-taking.
