> You miss the point. The point is the US in a way is worse than a totalitarian regime like China: in a totalitarian regime it is the government the pushes censorship and hatred in the disguise of morality. In the US it is the elites and ordinary people who do that voluntarily for the so-called narratives. The US is building its own highway to tyranny.

That's utter nonsense, and actually echos one of the propaganda lines that an actual totalitarian regime uses to deflect criticism of its actual oppressive polices. You're also forgetting that lots of people buy into totalitarian government propaganda, and push it voluntarily (from stuff like this https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/02/business/china-internet-c... to nationalist internet trolls to Red Guards).

Real totalitarian regimes do stuff like this (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/26/business/china-online-cen...) and worse. Your so-called "worse" regime just occasionally has bosses fire employees for saying something impolitic and business that refuse to carry certain items (with the effect of only making them slightly harder to buy).
My problem is, that the data collected is not only used by advertisers.
> X-Shenanigans: none - this appears on every response from Twilio's API. I have no idea why, but it is comforting to know there's definitely no shenanigans this time round.

This made me laugh.

Incidentally, reminds me of a company I used to work at where one of the devs thought it was hilarious to return 418 (I'm a teapot) [1] for all bad requests. Unfortunately sometimes these were actually 5xx-level errors so it quickly become annoying. The Twilio header listed above seems fairly innocuous though.

Some of the conclusions in the post are misleading. For systems that are uniformly expanding the statistical description of the dynamical system is very stable, and such systems can have sense periodic orbits that are necessarily all unstable! By statistical description I mean (at least) the long term frequency that the system is in any particular region of state space (i.e. the systems physical invariant measure).

It is actually one of the nice facts of life that as you dial up the local instability of a dynamical system you get a corresponding increase in the statistical stability. As systems become more and more chaotic they act more and more like iid coin tosses, which we understand quite well.

Incorrect. Systemic and institutional racism are systemic, and racism is personal.

Here's the definition of racism according to Google:

> prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.

When most people say racism, they mean the dictionary (also, the colloquial and correct) definition, not the definition that sociology textbooks have tried to propagate.

It's a constantly shifting subset, though. Moving slowly is a feature of C for some.

This is not the same as the regular warnings though, what Visual C++ is doing isn't helping writing better code - it is suggesting to replace standard functions which are available everywhere in code where i actually know what i'm doing with functions that are available to Visual C++ and pretty much nowhere else.

As i wrote in another comment, something that may lead to issues isn't the same as something that will always lead to issues - e.g. if i check a string's length or actually calculate and allocate the necessary memory before calling strcpy it is perfectly fine and safe to use it, but Visual C++ doesn't know about that, it complains like some stupid greenhorn that read somewhere "never use gotos" and then is surprised when he sees some Linux kernel code with gotos everywhere for cleanup, thinking that those people writing the kernel do not know what they're doing.
Piggybacking on that comment - which I interpret to mean that fixed, common salaries are at odds with the unique value each employee brings - is your philosophy that salary should not be a reflection of individual contributions, but (indexed to SF CoL) sufficient to make personal OpEx a non-issue? And that, by extension, employees who differentiate themselves (e.g., founders, not sure who else might see equity) are better rewarded with shares/RSUs?

Can’t say I disagree, if so!

In the case of C, it's a design decision Denis Ritchie made that came down to the particular instruction set of PDP-11, that could efficiently process zero terminated strings.

So a severely memory limited architecture of the 70s led to blending of data with control - which is never a safe idea, see naked SQL. We now perpetuate this madness of nul-terminated strings on architectures that have 4 to 6 orders of magnitude more memory than the original PDP-11.

It's also highly inefficient, because a the length of string is a fundamental property that must me recomputed frequently if not cached.

Bottom line, unless you work on non-security sensitive embedded systems like microwave ovens or mice, there is absolutely no place for nul-terminated strings in today's computing.

Not really. The law is not about restricting anyone, but rather about making media houses more accountable by making them store information (for a limited time) regarding the content publishers and furnishing it when requested within that time frame.

That 20 year old activist (Disha Ravi) you refer was arrested because she was clearly involved (via the document shared by Greta Thunberg) in seditious activity towards the sovereign state of India, nothing illegal or unethical about that I guess!
She was carted off to a different state because the outcome of her illicit activities could have led to more violence in that other state hence it would be apt that she face the courts within that state's jurisdiction.

There has been not a single incident of anti-democratic measure from the current Indian government, it would be more than interesting if you could provide rational, logical and judicially verifiable information to counter that.

From your tone and attitude, it looks like you have some kind of unwarranted grudge against the current government, most probably because you are a crony of the Congress who's sitting in the opposition, playing every game possible to topple the good natured environment created by the currently in power BJP government.
Most, if not all, of the anti-Columbus talk I've seen is from Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States".

If I recall, that book's source was the writings of a Columbus critic of the time (a monk I think?)

Are there any other sources that discuss Columbus and his interactions with native populations?
Actually it usually ends up being much simpler than a compiled language. Something like this:

delete from schema.hr.employee

where employee.employee_type = 'Lecturer'

having rownum = cast(dbms_random.value(1,count(*)) as int)

Most Deans' computers have it mapped to alt-delete. They don't even know what it does-- it's just called the "reduce budget function". Which is really unfortunate because when they hit ctrl-alt-delete on a frozen system, but miss the ctrl key by accident, some poor lecturer gets fired and at the end of the semester the Dean says "Huh, wonder where that budget surplus came from.".

Once an entire physics department was disbanded when their Dean's keyboard had a broken ctrl key.

> X-Http-Method-Override - used to set a method that couldn't be set as the real method of the request for some reason, usually a client or networking limitation. Mostly a bad idea nowadays, but still popular & supported by quite a few frameworks.

This is popular and supported because it serves a real need. A GET request shoves all the query parameters into the URL, and if that gets long enough, it will be truncated somewhere and the results will be wrong or you'll just get an error.

By instead sending a POST request, where all the parameters go in the body and don't get truncated, but using the header to tell the server to treat it as a GET request, you solve those bugs almost seamlessly.

The drawback is that you don't have a bookmarkable/linkable URL - some of the semantics are lost. But that can be worked around afterword with an id or hash of a previous request's parameters that tells the server "give me the same results as if I had entered all the query parameters that were entered in this previous request".

It's not optimal, but pragmatic.

I was familiar with it in the hardware world before I was ever exposed to it in software, as in master and slave devices in SCSI, then later in context of data replication. People opposed to these words are making them racist (or acquiescing to those that want us to think that way) where their origin was never anything of the sort. The master/slave relationship predated the American continent and across the broad swath of human history has been a pretty color-blind enterprise. This accommodation to absurd American sensitivities is an embarrassing insult to basic intelligence that’s only getting worse. People need to grow the F up.
You talk as if the incredible amount of energy around us is unlimited. We pay for energy and we spend an inordinate amount of consideration towards thinking on how to "save energy"

It varies on your standard of living and region. If both partners are in tech or equivalent then there usually isn’t a struggle but as soon as one isn’t, it can be tough in some regions to find sustainable living for the traditional American dream. Where I live (SV - peninsula) and for my age (30), I have no hopes of having children anytime soon in my current circumstance unless FAANG finally takes me in or I can get another startup to IPO. (As it seems wasting years of your life for one startup IPO wasn’t sufficient enough, sadly)

I couldn’t possibly imagine having kids earlier. Even now, it still seems like a pipe dream. And I have no interest in Ivy League schools or private elementary, etc.

Indeed, Telegram's appeal comes more from its superior feature set than privacy. It is very convenient to have everything backed up server-side and seamlessly run the same chat app on as many and as various devices as you wish.

>For your friend's sake, the app Anytrans claims to be able to backup and restore WhatsApp between platforms. I haven't tried it for that, but it might be worth checking out. It's part of Setapp.

Moreover, consider the appalling anti-Japanese political cartoons that Dr. Seuss made during WWII. Is there no merit in seeing the flaws of someone we otherwise hold in such high regard? And to understand that maybe something broke in the minds of otherwise nice people when a little incident at Pearl Harbor happened? We're worried about the traumas that words might inflict, but we seem to be discarding the trauma of war and history to do it. These are important discussions we need to have, but people are too scared to have them. It's easier to ban books.

When ad-tech is mentioned we are not just talking about selling toothbrushes or cat food, its about how this technology can be used by companies and special interests groups to do damage to society, say for instance trying to target people who might be more likely to listen to an ideology that would inevitably fail our democracies.

The Cambridge analyticas and the Russian bots happened because the average internet user was not paying attention to ad tech.

We need better education around ad tech, we need more people to understand what these ad companies are enabling so more average internet users can stay better protected, and make better and more informed choices.

> 1. the lt2 definition in the paper is wrong.

Would you mind providing a counterexample to illustrate what incorrect output it's producing?

> A lexicographical compare is linear in the size.

Indeed, lt2() also has a loop that iterates a linear number of times as you mention. It is consistent with this.

> the derived cmp2 is correct and has a run time twice that of cmp3. which matches the stl definitions of lexicographical_compare, see below.

Perhaps you might be confused about what lexicographical_compare does? It does not "compare" in the 3-way sense. It only performs a "less-than" comparison. The name is rather misleading.

2. the c++ behaviour in 2.4.2 is puzzling and most likely bug, worth reporting to and discussing with STL implementors.

I'm not sure what to report to anyone, as I don't find it puzzling; it is entirely consistent with everything I'm aware of and have tried to explain in the paper. It is also not specific to any particular implementation; I believe you will see this behavior on any correct implementation you try it on. It might be helpful if you try to produce a counterexample using what you believe would be a correct & efficient implementation to validate or invalidate this.
"Chunked encoding is used a lot in DNS over HTTPS servers, and it's a real pain to parse them."

Always wondered if developers found that easy.

I just strip out the chunk lengths with a filter, suitable for use in UNIX pipes. It's like three lines in flex. I have always been aware of the different things that servers could "legally" do with chunking from reading the HTTP/1.1 spec but as the parent says no ever does anything beyond the basic chunk lengths. For example, how many servers support chunked uploads.

With the filter I wrote, as crude as it is, I have never had any problems. Works great with HTTP/1.1-pipelined DoH responses.

My job is a 40+ hour a week escape from my family. Overtime is a guilty pleasure. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way.

I force myself to spend time with my kids because of all the older people who say that they wish they had spent more time with their kids when they were younger. Many people I know who use work as an escape from family don't force themselves to spend time with their kids, and in 15 years I'll tell you who is happier...

Yes, and they completely miss the fact that when other people make them feel uncomfortable, they don't respond by falling in line with the majority way of thinking, but instead react by becoming more radical or even violent.

It's not racist, but it introduces horrible historical baggage into a place it doesn't belong.

I don't mean to exaggerate... it's just words and we use all kinds of expressions that have roots in something objectionable.

Unfortunately people twist something from "mildly/moderately inappropriate" into "racist", which I agree is ridiculous.
Can you think of any period of hyper-inflation without quantitative easing? People assume that because the velocity doesn't increase in lock step with the amount of currency creation that somehow inflation has been avoided, but the tsunami is still coming.

A series of growing incidents will become a crisis, and it will lead to a collapse in faith of the spending power of all western fiat currencies. That's when everyone, including large institutions will start disgorging vast amounts of dollars in an effort to put that value somewhere more secure and the spending power of the currency will collapse and with it the value of everyone's savings.

There is nothing new here. This has happened many times before.
You answered your own question. There’s been a stipulative, activist semantic expansion (or outright replacement) of the word “racism”. It really blew up fast but most prople haven’t consciously learned and internalized this, so a lot of (un)intentional equivocation takes place. Lots of miscommunication, misunderstanding and talking past each other. Classic human stuff.

My opinion: putting aside the discussion of the new definitions merits and shortcomings, we can still easily call DiAngelo presumptuous, essentialist and nontrivially bigoted.
