How could you possibly believe this in good faith? Consequences can also be, for example, people expressing their distaste in your speech and choosing to boycott your products if you're a business.

You said protection from consequences, not protection from criminal violence and harassment. If you meant protection from criminal violence and harassment, you should have said protection from criminal violence and harassment.
this was such a missed opportunity for the UK.

They had a only-in-a-lifetime chance to start from a scratch with their regulatory framework governing exports.

They should have replaced the EU captive market they were about to lose, with sufficient trade deals with the rest of the world so that when the time came, they would have had a much stronger negotiating with the EU. They would have had a healthier economy right before COVID, too.

Instead of hunting around the world for deals and getting their industry free rein to produce more and export away, they wasted their entire time bickering with the EU ...who was happy to sit tight and let the UK take the blame.

I guess when you know that politicians were in charge, you can easily assume nothing productive would come out of it.
I'd go so far as to say extreme size optimization, as indeed the author is doing... Demoscene tricks and shellcode are about the only places that matters now, i think. Stunts.

Also reminds me how people were blaming for FDA for vaccine delays including President Trump.

It’s not a vaccine, until it’s proven safe. While FDA isn’t perfect they have stringent procedures to prove something is safe.

The way FAA let Boeing ship planes that killed people, and lost their trust, same applies to FDA. If people die and have irreversible damage, it’s on their hands.

I understand and agree. I tried to account for that with the "Of course there will be some overlap, because you will have had some really bright people doing some of those jobs that were also bored out of their mind but hey that's the job they could get in 1951... "

Those are the people you can train up, to a certain point. Like you said, there might be people in that workforce that were just never given the opportunity but are actually pretty smart. But there's also the ones that just can't do anything above the level of what they were doing in that factory before, even if given the opportunity and training. There's a difference in training someone to perform X mundane manual task vs. Y mundane manual task vs. actually learning something completely new and different that requires 'thinking'.

It's the same with "traditional" jobs, like say a shoe maker. Today, you mostly have a few cobblers left that know how to fix your typical "suit's" shoes if they bought proper ones (the Allen Edmonds and the like). When shoe production was automated, the actual job of shoemaker disappeared and the replacement jobs dumbed down significantly, so that "anyone" could do them. You still have some actual proper shoe makers left. The ones that in previous times would have be the master shoe makers that invented new ways of sewing or perfected previous techniques, invented new ways of combining pigments for awesome looking shoes etc.

There is support for restrictions at the edges. But support for a handgun ban is the lowest it’s been in 40 years: https://content.gallup.com/origin/gallupinc/GallupSpaces/Pro.... It used to be at over 50% in the 1960s. It’s just 25% today.

Handguns are responsible for almost all gun homicides, and are also the main category of firearms used for self defense. And on that core issue, support for restricting access is more unpopular than its ever been.
I don’t think it’s the only reason but the Watch doesn’t have a SIM slot. It requires you use Apple’s “eSIM” standard and a lot of networks haven’t adopted it.

Generating small code can be desirable - the uOP$ is a lot smaller than the I$

For example, compilers aren't very good at spotting overflows, so you can end up with a 150 instruction SIMD monster for the factorial function when pentium pro code could've been faster for the ints that matter.

All this x86 weirdness is partly why the schedulers compilers actually use are quite detached from the textbooks - GCC builds a FSM to model the decoder for example, as that's where a lot of the bottleneck will be for a CISC ISA like X86
Your carrier needs support for eSIM, which may be the holdup.
> Why spend years gaining programming skills to throw them away?

This question only makes sense if your #1 life-long goal is "be a coder". If you have other goals, such as lead products, lead companies, retire young, learn business, change the world, raise a family, travel the world, or whatever else you may want to do... there is nothing wrong with programming being a stepping stool to something else and letting those skills go.
> I know, that's why I used "restricted".

Well, I suppose that's technically correct (e.g. restricts ownership to people who can pay the $200 tax and fill out some forms), but I wouldn't describe that as a meaningful "restrict[ion on] ownership," which I think would be things like bans or hard-to-get licensing requirements.

Joris's paper discusses high-dimensional balls with various metrics (where the max-norm gives equality between the "ball" and "interval" concepts), but I skimmed your paper and it looks like you're doing only doing 1d. It isn't immediately obvious to me how one would perform computations on, say, 3-dimensional euclidean balls using your library. Is this something you've thought through (or was my skim too shallow)?
> One only needs to look at California to see that even the most insane gun control has no affect except to limit a constitutional right to those who can afford lawyers and insane requirements.

Except those laws are there on the books next to states with laws that are basically non-existent for gun control. so it's trivial to go there and get a non-complying gun.

regardless of your stance on guns that's not a good argument.
One company that I worked at... while the hardware people had their boring "r17s4ad" type name (rack 17, shelf 4, application, development), our team used the naming scheme of Caribbean islands. This worked rather well.

Unfortunately, I only remember the test and production server names. The test systems were "Trinidad" and "Tobago". The production systems where "Nevis" and "Nassau" (the app started with an 'N').

The thing that made this work really well was that the first syllable hinted on what the rest of the word would be and then everything beyond that reinforced that you read it right. This even was the case that foreign accents, while slightly off still reinforced the "you heard this right".

The machines _also_ had names of "test01" and "test02" or similar... but we (as devs) never used those names because you had to listen to the end of it to be sure that you had the right machines.

Indeed, and even if other benefits were once possible in the early x86 era, modern CPUs use register renaming[0] which presumably would make such benefits redundant.

Be suspicious when you’re told 80% of the country agrees on any policy position. 80% of the people also probably want society to have less offensive speech, but does that translate to 80% of the people wanting to abridge freedom of speech (particularly theirs)? Probably not. Effective policy, especially when abridging rights, is a very nuanced discussion that most people don’t have the patience or interest to discuss, but everyone has sentiment. “If wishes were fishes, nobody would go hungry.”

> So an electric SUV that vaguely resembles a Mustang.

I think I have to agree with you here, that's a more accurate description.

I wonder if it'll be like the Toyota Corolla Matrix, as it was known for its first year, subsequently just the Toyota Matrix. (Different story there; it actually was a Corolla body so I could get all sorts of aftermarket suspension parts even for a just-released car...)

Come to think of it, all sorts of brands have launched with a bridge year, haven't they? I won't be surprised if future years of this car are simply known as the Ford Mach-E, but for now they're trading on the cachet of the Mustang brand.

I agree that the "defunctionalize the continuation" refactoring is neat and non-obvious.

My feeling about refactorings is that you can use a tool that does it automatically (preferred, when available) or you can do it by hand (when not). I'm not sure I need to be thinking abstractly in math to do the hand-refactoring though. If I know where I'm starting from and where I want to end up then I can informally pattern-match. But I guess it's a more intuitive approach and it sounds like you prefer to think about it a different way.

Refactoring in small mechanical steps is generally less risky, though good tests can also reduce the risk.

Possibly one difference is that in Haskell, you're close to thinking in math already.
Even if they aren't, I don't see why the people doing good things in the world can't have something enjoyable.

'Flight Log' from 'Seat Assignment' – Nina Katchadourian
I was curious about the discrepancy, and Open Secrets doesn't really report its methodology well here. I did some digging and found that it's the amount of money that is spent on lobbying federal officials, not a number inclusive of all kinds of political expenditures.

It does seem a bit motivated to choose federal lobbying as the initial representation of spending around the gun issue, when it's clearly dwarfed by initiative campaign expenditures, donations to individual candidates, and electoral campaign expenditures.
I do not know what I was expecting, but I suppose it is relieving to know there are only two unexplained sounds on the list. I wonder if it is a coincidence they were all detected in the 1990s or if that is because of some sort of declassification time elapsed.
>Improvising with materials close at hand, "Seat Assignment" consists of photographs, video, and digital images all made while in flight using only a camera phone. The project began spontaneously on a flight in March 2010 and is ongoing.

I've worked with a number of people who land in "the middle" IMO. These are application security engineers hired to staff the security teams at companies building normal b2b or b2c products. Their job is a mix of hands-on fixes in application codebases, triage of reports from external researchers, and scripting/building their own systems. They're coders who remain practical, not world-class cryptographical researchers nor spreadsheet jockeys, and they're darned useful to have in place at companies where you can't expect every developer to maintain up-to-date deep domain knowledge of the security landscape.
They searched for the arsonist by geofencing everyone in the area, and requesting identifying information of each of them.

Also:

> The affidavit also links the suspect to a white supremacist group called the Aryan Cowboys, and to an incident weeks later where a Muslim woman was harassed.

While the arsonist's politics are probably irrelevant, the police think they know them.
I'm a security researcher. From my vantage point:

* There's a world of difference between the work I do and the world of pentesting. Are you interested in building secure systems, researching ways to secure (or break) systems, or applying security techniques? That answer to that will probably inform the kind of security track you want to head down.

* IME, the best security engineers are diligent software engineers. Others have already said it, but: good software engineering is secure engineering, and the skills you pick up as a normal engineer who thinks a little bit harder about security will take you much further than a certificate or special training in security itself.

As others have pointed out, it’s probably the carrier that does not support the right kind of E-Sim.

But furthermore, an Apple Watch with cellular bought in the US, cannot use cellular data in e.g. the EU. Not sure why, but it must be localized on a software/hardware (?) level. At least that’s what the Apple genius told me on my last visit to the states..

Opportunity cost. Both sports need an alternative to just running with the ball, because always using a single tactic would be too easy to defend against.

In rugby, the only option is backwards passing, so that's what they do.

In the NFL, forward passes are a lower risk alternative to backwards passes, so backwards passes are a much less attractive option.

The value could at least be support - this to me would be the minimum expectation for any type of enterprise software, but amazingly it isn't offered in any of their packages (they just state that documentation = support!). Even in smb & enterprise plans it is "pay for a bug fix if you find a bug".

It is amazing to me that they expect a paying SMB user, who has discovered a bug in the code, to pay £12,000 for them to fix it! Then they wonder why nobody signs up - what a joke!

It's important to know why the three exist.

Greasemonkey is the original Firefox extension, the development slowed down/stopped when Firefox changed how extensions work, it was restarted later. It's kind of heavyweight but very compatible with most scripts because it's the original.

Tampermonkey started as Chrome's alternative to Greasemonkey (because the latter was only for Firefox). I don't recommend it, see this[1]

Violentmonkey started as an Opera extension (back when Opera was using the Presto engine and wasn't compatible with Chrome extensions). It's more lightweight in terms of resource usage than Greasemonkey and doesn't contain analytics code. It was later ported to Firefox and Chrome.

If you need compatibility with old scripts your best choice is Greasemonkey. If you need it for modern scripts or to write your own Violentmonkey is fine. Avoid Tampermonkey, they are not to be trusted (proprietary license and analytics).

As someone who does a lot a "roll your own" programming as a scientist, I never got the appeal of overly nested directories in web dev and other fields, it feels a lot like it make things more complicated at least for small projects like the very example they show here. Might as well just have a single directory for three files.

Reminds me a lot like OOP examples in tutorials that make a class that only has two methods, too much boilerplate. Like OOP it becomes useful for large systems (GUI libraries) but it's overkill when you have less than ten files I think.

EDIT: too late to edit but what I mean in the end of the last sentence is directory structure, not OOP, that less than ten files can be in a single dir without confusing people (or me at least).

Firefox itself never had a real rss-reader. It had rss-parser which was incorperated into the bookmark-ui, making it barely useful for the purpose if consuming feeds. 3rd-party feedreader coming as addons were more useful than this and they were not really good either. So it's no surprise this feature had low usage and was thus removed.
