> This is like arguing for not fixing a really weird state in code

That's not a valid analogy. The reason we fix bugs and address code smells is that the cost of doing so is relatively low and the benefit is large from both a tail-risk mitigation perspective and technical debt perspective.

If we're going to go through the rigmarole of passing new regulations in order to solve some problem, the problem should be of sufficient magnitude to justify the associated costs:

(i) The cost of compliance to industry, which would be humongous, since you now need a centralized authority to track who owns the actual float versus the shorted float, and for this information to be communicated between all stakeholders & said authority. Then each stakeholder needs to build internal processes and software around this data to ensure they are compliant.

(ii) The time & financial cost of enforcement and penalties, to both regulators (taxpayer) and industry.

(iii) Possible unintended consequences, such as corporatist corruption of the specifics in order to entrench established interests.

Evidence or reason hasn't been provided that this is even a problem, let alone a problem of any meaningful magnitude deserving of regulation.
I noticed bright red blood on my toilet paper periodically. I would ignore it a bit, then worry more when it re-occurred. After a month or so, I went to see my GP (I was 40 at the time). He thought it was just hemorrhoids. A year later my wife convinced me to go back and see what was up. I was referred a week later to my gastroenterologist who diagnosed me with a 5cm tumor. The path report showed that it was T2N0M0.

I'm fully healed now, though I have a permanent colostomy.
Ah, got it, as the people voted for a different Chief Executive, and a different Senate, the Democrats should pass a law changing the amount of SCOTUS justices, and when that is filibustered, they should vote to remove the filibuster, because, again, the people voted for a different Chief Executive, and a different Senate, and those are the rules of the game.

That sounds good to me, I hope they take your advice.
Homebrew and MacPorts tend to not do well because Homebrew installs itself to /usr/local, which is on PATH by default and can cause strange build failures for other things. However, with the new prefix it might be possible to do this better now.

China's top chipmaker SMIC says US restrictions hampering growth
This has essentially become a subjective debate over how to live one's best life. Yes, many of us prefer freedom over financials.

However, very often in reality, at the heart of the argument that one has to just hang on and suffer well with their job is an insecurity that one doesn't deserve better.

To mental health professionals, I assume they would understand that the people looking for advice and reading their articles are from emotionally/physically/economically insecure environments, from which the advice "suffer well" is essentially entirely non-productive because it is their lack of a feeling of security that prevents them from knowing they deserve better. From the lack of security, which causes the lack of the knowledge that they deserve better, these people will typically not ever try to come up with a way out of their abuse until they hit rock bottom.

It's not that that's inherently a worse way to live, but the reason behind this way of living is typically (but not always) due to hidden insecurities, which abusive bosses freaking love to exploit because it's works very well at controlling their insecure employees. Yes someone can be secure and live like this but I think many would agree that this is a rare scenario and not the best advice for the average person looking at these articles.

It's unfortunately a self-feeding circle... in the US, if you see a felon, it's likely they will go on to commit more felonies, so you won't want to hire them.

But if you don't hire them, they may be forced to commit other felonies... tragedy of the commons I suppose, just like shopping at Walmart is bad for the community but good for the individual.

It's hard to overcome these effects without legislation, but noone (sane) wants to be in the community that starts it.
I didn't say a new keyword is major breaking change.

New keywords are small breaking changes; I'm saying that the breakage when eliminating the turbofish is even smaller!

If you read RFC 2544, some team members were considering removing the turbofish without a new edition, because a crater run did not find any real-world code that would break. The "Bastion of the Turbofish" might literally be the only Rust code in existence that would be broken.

Does anyone know what Cortisol or stress sweat smells like?

I have on occasion smelled something I would describe as hot electronics, like a heated PCB. The occasions I've smelled this was usually indoors when I'm by myself in long possibly multi-day coding sessions. It took me a long time to realize that it could be me and not actually the electronics. I don't sweat under those conditions so don't know what it is I'm smelling, and I have a positive association with the smell of warm (not on fire) electronics.

Governments have successfully stopped websites. The CCP has practically created their own internet, and it's obvious that the total absence of the Play Store in China hasn't changed this at all. Australia has enacted national bans on a number of piracy-related websites that their ISPs enforce. If anything, it's easier to circumvent a store ban by sideloading an APK than it is to find/setup reliable VPNs and various traffic obfuscation tools.

I wonder how many downvoters of this relevant XKCD reference actually read the article and understand that Feynman's Integral Trick involves differentiating under the integral sign.

It's more like no politician wants to be seen as "soft on crime," and this carries over to "soft on criminals." Doing anything to help people in prison once they get out is politically risky in a lot of places. Just look at the number of states where it's still legal to ask if someone has a criminal record on a job application. This not wanting to be "soft on crime" is particularly pathological in jurisdictions where judges are elected.

I wanted to add another note to those that might be in middle management or otherwise have "corporate responsibility" feelings. I have worked at a number of organizations with bosses that I have genuinely liked and that have gone out of their way to make sure that employees are doing well - but this kindness is utterly optional and there is no obligation for two-way kindness. Any obligations you feel to keep your company healthy should be tied to your own interests - your continued employment and any active options/interest in the company you have. Promises of future rewards are entirely vaporware until realized and if you hit a really tough personal period the company won't think twice about letting you go so be conservative about how much of your life you're willing to spend bettering a company that could fire you tomorrow.

That all said, don't be a dick about it.

> Mozilla has a viable business model: making a browser and selling placement of search engine.

The problem is that the latter thing is only valuable while the former thing has enough users. As Chrome continues to siphon market share away from Firefox, Google will be willing to pay less and less for default search engine placement.

Honestly I think the main reason Google keeps being so "generous" is because Firefox is ammunition they can use to fight anti-trust claims.

I am using brew because it works, as simple as that. If in 99% of cases I can type "brew install stuff" and it installs stuff, I am happy. Does it have outliers? Sure, as pretty much any other software, sometimes it breaks. But it delivers environment where I can install stuff without wasting my time on boring crap like figuring out how to build it and resolve conflicts with other crap - it's enough for me. Even if it only does that in 99% of cases, still much better than not having it.

Ad "Re. [0]": If some program is calling a third party without explicitly asking the user in the first place (especially when we're talking about a compromised company such as Google), that's spyware. Debian has solved it in a user-friendly manner in their ``popcon``: they just ask you kindly if you want to report stats to them. It's hard for me to imagine someone putting opt-in telemetry in good will…

Ad "Re. [1]": It's pretty obvious that there are people who cannot afford "unshallowing"; one would expect at least a command line switch for "power users", even if it was to be called ``--i-am-a-stubborn-jerk-and-i-am-fine-with-generating-excessive-load-on-github-infrastructure``. I'm sure that GH would be satisfied. :)
No idea about other apps, as it was all done purely for fun and for learning purposes, so we didn't really have any interest in potentially implementing the exact same thing but for different apps. Especially since there is no real fun or learning happening when the API just spits out the exact coordinates back at you. To clarify, this was already patched by the time we set our sights on it.

>another one that just sent out coordinates and left the distance finding to the client

That's exactly what Tinder used to do back then, they simply sent out the coordinates and left distance calculations to the client. Given that Tinder (being one of the most popular dating platforms that was also known to be one of the most "tech-forward" ones) did that, I have zero doubt that some other dating platforms could have been using similar methods for determining the distance between users around that time.

I agree that bad documentation is often due to lack of effort. Many developers don't like writing documentation, which is unfortunate because bad documentation can drag down otherwise great projects. If I'm evaluating two libraries and one has great docs and the other has awful docs, you know which one I'm picking.

Likewise, hdoc isn't instantly going to make an engineer spring up and say "I'm going to write documentation!". No tool is going to do that. hdoc is meant to simplify and streamline the process of writing documentation. Current tools disincentivize writing documentation. If you need to spend a day cobbling together 5 different tools and themes to set up a documentation page for your project you might not be as eager to do it as you would be if you could write a five line configuration file and run a single binary.

No doubt there are free tools that can produce decent output. However, all of them require considerable effort that could be spent writing code or documentation. Others don't support modern features, or completely fail to process basic C++ code. Clearly a market for a tool which solves these problems exists, there is no shortage of people asking about Doxygen alternatives or better ways to document their C++ code. Lastly, there are companies in other communities which provide a similar services, for instance ReadTheDocs.com which has documentation and managed hosting for Python projects.

Well, a vaccine is a rather vague and generic term. Are you talking about an FDA approved product? An experimental vaccine? A vaccine whose use is contra-indicated for certain people? etc. etc.

If I may - perhaps one alternative question is "Can an unapproved vaccine product cause harm?". With that re-wording, the answers become a bit more clear. Yes, chemicals used in the formulation maybe toxic, or the final vaccine might give rise to an auto-immune response, or could induce anaphylaxis in certain people. There could be cell debris/endotoxins that a purification process doesn't remove properly and causes problems. Maybe the vaccine contains an attenuated pathogen that can "revert", etc, etc.

In the next 15 years, more than one in 10 colon cancers and nearly one quarter of rectal cancers will be diagnosed in patients ages 20-34, according to the study. It also found that, in this age group, colon and rectal cancers are expected to increase by 90% and 124.2%, respectively, by 2030. For those ages 35-49, the predicted increase will be 27.7% for colon cancer and 46% for rectal cancer. Routine screening currently is not recommended for those under 50.

Hi,

I'm the author of plocate. io_uring is not the primary part of the difference; it makes for a pretty good win if you have rotating disks (especially when you have many matches to test), but on SSD, it's pretty much inconsequential. The biggest difference really comes from the use of an index, as opposed to matching every single candidate against the pattern.

I have my 401K and Roth IRA maxed, an emergency fund set aside, all my debts paid off, and the vast majority of my income being set aside in safe index funds and bonds.

As such, I feel like it's completely responsible for me to take a small percentage of my annual income and devote it towards "high risk investments". I call it my "gambling money".

In the past 6 months, by trading and holding various cryptocurrencies, I managed to turn $100 into $1000, then $1000 into $5000.

This is essentially just "play money" for me, and I don't feel guilty about throwing some of it at online sports betting or online poker or GME/AMC/BB or Dogecoin or whatever.

It's money I can afford to lose, but it also has the potential to give me 100x gains while my index funds never will (at least not within my lifetime).

I think it's important to maintain a balanced portfolio, and having some "gambling money" set aside for high risk investing is an important part of that.
