The three branches are the formula, but the real work was in establishing them and making sure they actually work independently. The real work also continued in the many men and women who powered these institutions during the early years and kept true to their purpose.

There are plenty of countries that have the same nominal separation of powers, guaranteed by a constitution and a Supreme Court, but where the nominal separation of powers matters little in the face of political games. Hungary and Poland are relatively well known recent examples of countries that have subverted strong constitutional guarantees by inventing exceptions or finding reasons to oust people who are opposing political will for institutional reasons. In more corrupt states it can happen more egregiously.

A big problem, especially in young states, is the natural tendency to dislike red tape. Institutional power is all about red tape, though - doing something through the proper channels, with the proper oversight, even if it takes 3 times as long and costs twice as much as it should. This is the biggest hurdle that a young democracy has to overcome - learning to trust the apparent inefficiency of complex institutions (and knowing how to reform institutions that really don't work).

For the Americans: You can get a cheap ~$120/year dental insurance plan that has no yearly or annual out-of-pocket maximum dollar limits, no waiting periods, and no pre-exsisting condition clauses. Yes, it is a dental HMO plan and it’s through Delta Dental. It covers pretty much everything except implants and TMJ care, and the prices are quite impressive for US dental care. You will get a better deal for such a plan off of Costco [1] (which is only for Costco members, along with only being available in certain states) compared to the Delta Dental website [2] (which I believe is available in all US states).

As for needing to get dental implants (or even advanced TMJ care), you can get Swiss made implants for ~$1,000 per tooth in some of the more “eastern” (although they are quite westernized and the quality of care is very high—along with the materials being on par if not better than American FDA requirements) European Union countries like Poland or Croatia. When travelling to Europe, I typically find the cheapest one-way ticket to the European continent via any major hub city, then I fly via a discount airliner from the hub to the destination city.

There are legitimate health agencies and websites that are set up for dental tourism. I recall seeing one before that posted the implant success rates by clinic, but I no longer remember the name of the site. I personally have jacked up (although nice looking) teeth due to rare disease plus long-standing diabetes. Anyways, I linked the Costco dental insurance plan specifics for Texas [3] and California [4] residents, so you can see how much it actually costs for care.

> Balsa wood is extremely durable for its weight.

Maybe compared to other wood. It is one step above cardboard.

Why are you even bringing up carbon fiber?

The above post was saying we can't create anything better than wood based on a title of a skyscraper being made of wood. The building isn't actually a skyscraper, it is actually made of wood, concrete and steel, and humanity isn't "struggling" to come up with better materials than wood. Wood is used because it has already been made.

Airplanes, cars and boats aren't made out of balsa wood. They are made out of aluminum, steel and polymers. I have no idea how you hallucinated a reason to bring up carbon fiber.

A single normal building made using more wood than normal does not mean anyone is 'struggling to come up with better materials than nature'. The above post is nonsense.

Also if you look up specific strength you can see that balsa wood stacks up terribly compared to modern polymers and alloys.

Your speculation is poor - since there are 193+ countries and the imports from foreign countries is roughly 6 that are road legal by NHTSA.
Germany - Japan - Italy - Sweden - South Korea - England.

Foreign cars that are not produced under approved brands from these countries would be classed as grey market and are subject to import laws, that would likely make your proposed mandate impractical.

Also the number of foreign diplomats in DC's ~690,000 population is unlikely to skew the numbers.

Of course Walmart doesn't have the best bread in the world. It's also incredibly cheap. There are numerous fresh local bakeries that ship food daily to grocery stores as well as serving customers directly that you can buy from if you want to spend a little more to get higher quality bread. I am literally able to buy cheese directly from a local dairy at a farmers market that is guaranteed to have zero additives. This is in a horrible car oriented neighborhood with a Costco and where most people go shopping once a week. Europeans also eat a ton of processed food, barely any less than Americans. In 2019, Western Europeans ate 113 kg of ultra processed foods per capita, and Americans/Australians ate 134 kg - not a huge difference [1].

My local grocery store has hundreds of small local brands that are absolutely not a front for some conglomerate. There isn't some secret that only European bakers and cheesemakers know; American bakers can and do bake the same breads and American cheesemakers make the same cheeses, etc.

There are a lot of different people in the world. Some of them crave structure at the expense of anything else. Some crave symbolism at the expense of everything else. If a despot or coup leader writes a constitution, those people will get on side for free. It costs nothing to have a constitution.

And I doubt either of us have done a survey of dictators; a lot of them probably do just ignore the local constitution.

It is important to remember that people who think we should follow the intent of a 100 year old law (or even a 10 year old law) are a tiny minority group. The majority of humans are here-and-now, what-looks-like-a-good-idea-today?, what-do-I-see-in-front-of-me people.
They do push their "cloud key" type management because some people want to manage remote.

It's not required though. I just run their AP management software locally through docker. Said management does not even have to be running all the time, the APs will happily run the config you push to them without management.

So no internet access required for their APs. The GPL violations does worry me, hopefully they get better on that front.
For someone without expertise, there is no difference between paying money to a proprietary company and paying money to an open source developer.

In fact, open source is almost always worse--the proprietary company can at least generally demonstrate that they can do what they say.

And, for contracts like these, the end customer generally gets the source anyway. So, to the end customer, there really is no difference.

And this is before we get into the whole "Whose budget holds the money for that maintenance over time?" political football. A lot of government contracting is about transferring uncertain future payments into certain present payments. And someone will try to kill that budget at some point.

I love open source. But open source software almost always fails hard when the subject isn't relevant to software programming.

Regarding Windows and flags, I heard it was a geopolitical issue. Basically, to support flag emoji you’d have to decide whether or not to recognize some states (e.g. Taiwan) which can anger other states. Not sure if that’s the real reason or not.

A couple questions I still have:
1. Why make flags multiple code points when there’s plenty of unused address space to assign a single code point?
2. Any entertaining backstories regarding platform specific non-standard emoji, such as Windows ninja cat (https://emojipedia.org/ninja-cat/)? Why would they use those code points rather than ?
3. Is it possible to modify Windows to render emoji using Apple’s font (or a modified Segue that looks like Apple’s)?
4. Which emoji look the most different depending on platform? Are there any that cause miscommunication?
5. Do any glyphs render differently based on background color, e.g. dark mode?

"OOP makes it central, and builds around it, while FP de-emphasizes it in preference to ADTs."

ADTs are not an intrinsic part of FP, as not all FP languages even have them.

I'd also question whether ubiquitous polymorphism is overall a good thing in a language, or whether it's misguided complexity. In most OOP languages, any public method can be polymorphic, but a polymorphic function is inherently less predictable than one dispatches off a single type.

Show HN: ArkScript language, for C++ projects or scripting, now has macros
Hi everyone!
For those who don't know us, ArkScript is a programming language made in C++ to be easily used in projects, inspired by Lisp. The language aims to be small to avoid a collection of 100 keywords with very rare/specific ones. A small set of instructions (imo) is better for productivity and to get to the point without digging in documentation for hours (even though there are only 10, you don't have to reinvent the wheel).
I'm truly excited about this one, a 2 years old issue, 3 month of discussion with the dev team, and a few days only to implement it and it's even better than what I thought it would be capable of.
The thing is that we planned if macros (compile time if, working only on/with other macros), constant macros (compile time values) and function macros (code modification at compile time, with arguments).
Constants can hold anything, from simple values (numbers, strings) to complete blocs (a complete if, while, whatever you want), functions can take from 0 to a (nearly) infinite number of arguments through a "variadic" notation (I couldn't find a better name): ...args.
The current implementation only allows macros in the scope they were defined in and in the child scopes, also macros can not be nested except for if macros, which can old any other macros and be used anywhere.
This means that we can do this: !{if (= VAR 12) !{foo (bar ...args) (print bar (len args))}}
Where it get interesting is that we can do this also, and everything is still resolved at compile time: !{_> (first ...args) {!{if (> (len args) 0)((_> ...args) first)first}}}
(yes I named our version of the threading macro _> for now, because our parser won't allow it otherwise, -> is forbidden)
And I haven't planned that the implementation nor the specification would do that (not that it specifically forbidden it either), which is a great suprise!

TL;DR: our language now has macros, and they can do even more than what we designed them for, and that's cool to play with
I had a netgear R7000 or similar, OpenWRT was rather painful. Didn't support Ipv6, had to steal a few binaries from DDWRT, and it was pretty hacked up. Infrequent updates, lack of security patches, etc.

I was much happier with the Ubiquiti stuff, ipv6 just worked, regular easy updates, and it's been solid.

saltiness is also a rough heuristic for the quality of ingredients in prepared foods (whether boxed or fresh). it’s why fast food and mass market sit-downs tend to be saltier than more expensive restaurants.
Conventional methods of rendering 3D objects and spaces rely on specifying geometry and material properties in some format. You then simulate a viewpoint using that info and physics simulations.

A NeRF takes over both the role of the file format and part of the rendering in the form of a neural network. You feed in a world coordinate and a viewpoint and you get an RGB tuple and density out of it. If you interrogate the NeRF enough you can render any traditional 2D or 3D image out of it by combining all the datapoints.

One theoretical benefit is that that a NeRF is a continuous function, so the resolution is only limited by the capacity of the neural network. Another cool thing is that a NeRF is trained on pictures (with info about where they were taken from), so if you train a NeRF successfully in high-res it’s like scanning an object. A major practical challenge is that it is (was?) pretty frickin’ slow to work with. I wrote a more elaborate comment about it on the previous NeRF improvement post [1]. There I closed with:

> It would be amazing to have NeRF-based graphics engines that can make up spaces out of layers of NeRFs, all probed in real-time.

Here they’ve taken a major step in that direction by speeding up the rendering 3000X.

@op great article. I ran your code first without fully reading the article. It took the code almost an hour to parse and index the data using the terminal.

A suggestion, if you want to make the code more friendly. Either:

1. Write a note to README.md that once you exit the program, you loose the indexed data.

or

2. Save the indices to disk. :)

Institutions (strong ones, the ones that really work) have a way of transcending the desires of their members. An functioning institution won't stop functioning because of a few members with un aligned goals - this is similar to the way distributed systems are deigned, where you want to have redundancy and a quorum to ensure that the cluster survives network partitions and problems with the leader node.

Of course, an institution won't survive a certain percentage of its members being malign. The stronger the institution, the larger that number is.

To give some ideas of the mechanisms that make this possible, internal reviews are one of the most powerful forces for making sure that rules established yesterday are still respected by people who join tomorrow, even at the very top.

If you feel that such a disclaimer is necessary, it would be better to phrase the question differently in the first place.
in strictly typed languages that would be correct, and I still somewhat agree, but AviatorScript is dynamically typed, and allows lists containing elements with different types. It's basically List<Object>. So it seems to be a strictly semantic distinction.

>Matching Suez traffic doesn’t mean stealing Egypt’s business: the Suez Canal is only one lane wide, and can handle fewer than 50 ships a day. A trans-Israel canal would be a valuable supplement, and it could do some of the things the Suez can’t, like support oil tankers that exceed the Suez’s depth and width.

But what if egypt expands their canal as well? What would be the advantage in using israel's canal? The israel canal would be longer than the suez canal, so it would be at a disadvantage from a customer (ie. the ships) and investor (because of increased capital requirements) point of view.

That's great for you but... how's that relevant to the article? The author never speaks of using this sort of thing.

I saw these regex matchers in school but don't understand them. They go off all day long because one in a dozen numbers match a valid credit card number, even in the lab environment the default setup was clearly unusable. But perhaps more my point: who'd ever upload the stolen data plaintext anyhow? Unencrypted connections have not been the default for stolen data since... the 80s? If your developers are allowed to do rsync/scp/ftps/sftp/https-post/https-git-smart-protocol then so can I, and if they can't do any of the above then they can't do their work. Adding a mitm proxy is, aside from a SPOF waiting to happen, also very easily circumvented. You'd have to reject anything that looks high in entropy (so much for git clone and sending PDFs) and adding a few null bytes to avoid that trigger is also peanuts.

These appliances are snakeoil as far as I've seen. But then I very rarely see our customers use this sort of stuff, and when I do it's usually trivial to circumvent (as I invariably have to to do my work).

Now the repository you linked doesn't use regexes, it uses "a cutting edge pre-trained deep learning model, used to efficiently identify sensitive data". Cool. But I don't see any stats from real world traffic, and I also don't see anyone adding custom python code onto their mitm box to match this against gigabits of traffic. Is this a product that is relevant here, or more of a tech demo that works on example files and could theoretically be adapted? Either way, since it's irrelevant to what the author did, I'm not even sure if this is just spam.
