> It could. But why explicitly write down things that are obvious anyway?

Maybe it's obvious to you; to me it's obvious the other way. Perhaps, when penning their supposed bulwark against dictatorship, they could afford to spend a few more drops of ink?

If the authors of such entrenched clauses really meant it the way you imply, they are doubly idiots, first for thinking that such legal technicalities would help prevent the slide into dictatorships, and then for failing to even do that and leave a loophole. I don't think they are idiots and they realized such an attempt would be futile and counterproductive. And focused their efforts elsewhere, to build a proper system with checks and balances so power would not be concentrated.

> The idea that the eternity clause was deliberately made toothless in case we actually do want to abolish human rights, democracy and rule of law again is frankly absurd.

No dictator would bother with amending such toothless abstract parts anyway. They would simply claim they are the greatest champion of human rights, and that their abuses are actually not abuses at all. The parts that are worth changing are concrete, technical details; like how are the judges that decide whether those are abuses are appointed. And those parts that the dictator might want to modify, may also legitimately need to be modified in the future, so all constitutions leave the door open to that change, yes.

> That constitutional amendment would simply be unconstitutional and thus invalid. Law is not code. If you violate its intent, you violate it.

Of course the prospective dictator would violate the constitution's intent, that's the point. Newly appointed judges would disagree with you about the amendment's constitutionality, though. As would the populace, who would just see unelected judges violating letter of the law to stop the people's will and protect the status quo.

Law is not code, it's what people in power interpret it to be. If a person or group manages to concentrate the power in practice, no legal technicalities help. I live in a country that recently went through that change; all the human rights, freedom of speech, rule of law clauses are there, all the supposed ostensible checks and balances are there, none of it is of any help. You can think in your head that it's not actually constitutional all you like, it's just that the judges, prosecutors, army, police, the censored media and most of the populace would disagree.

I spent four years working in the only building that the Unabomber bombed twice (Cory Hall at the University of Califoria, Berkeley), when I was in grad school, though the bombings were in the 80s and I was there in the early 90s. But when I was there he had not yet been caught, so we didn't know he wouldn't strike again.

In that case, the killer's identity was unknown, but with so much text authored by him, the FBI figured (correctly) that someone would recognize the killer by his writing, and that outweighed the negatives of giving him more publicity; he already had plenty of that.
This was my understanding, too. I checked:

That's kind of my point. Your examples still show planning into the selection of the attack vector and preparing for its effects... even if this is some 4D-chess to move the US off of the global supply chain, there are cheaper ways (and better germs) to do it.

Interesting that UK/US/SA always the "bad" actor in your posts? Axe to grind? Couldn't this just as easily be construed as a 4D-chess move by China/Russia/SeaLand/MoonPeople to weaken the US economy since pandemic conditions naturally favor governments that can enforce stricter lockdowns? At the end of the day this type of speculation is a waste of time without substantiation.
Anyone think that ubuntu around 2011, final days of Gnome 2, really had perfected the desktop UI experience, before all the forays into wanton novelty for noveltys sake made it the confusing mess it became later?

To think that a linux distro had the almost ideal desktop UI realised and then squandered it all away, seems puzzling now.
The thing is that not every developer is in a privileged position to provide work without payment. Good example are unpaid internships - if you want to gain experience, but you are coming from a poor background, you are unlikely going to sign up for such internship, because you will not have means to pay bills and so you are forced to find job that pays, not even necessarily in the field you would want. This creates divide, because only people from privileged backgrounds can gain experience this way and in the end get better jobs. That's why in many countries (for example in the UK) unpaid internships are illegal to create a level playing field. I think it should not be allowed to give away your work for free (to corporations) because of that. Then if you really don't want this money, you could send it to a charity of your choice. Such way would be much fairer to everyone.

As far as I'm aware that threading information is on a per-connection basis.

SQLite is perfectly capable of supporting multiple, parallel reads.

SQLite must serialize writes, which makes a highly parallel write-heavy workload not good for it. However, with WAL enabled writes do not block reads.

Basically highly-parallel read loads with low write counts (low-enough that serializing them doesn't lead to unacceptable slow down of writes) or with loads where latency is acceptable in writes (but not reads) is a perfect use case for SQLite. And it turns out that a lot of web services are heavily asymmetrically biased towards reads.

writing code as cleverly as possible doesn't imply it's at the developers limit of understanding--just that the code cannot be expressed more cleverly.

Asking the question, how will you ever debug it, causes the developer pause and hopefully realize there will be a learning curve when maintenance dues come.

For me, it wasn't so much Google Reader itself, it was a free feed sync source.

So I could subscribe to a feed in Google Reader, then use a 3rd party app (like Reeder or any number of others) to view the feeds I was subscribed to, and it would provide all the tracking and syncing so to speak.

It fills the gap of services like Feedbin, Feedly, and others. Except it was "free" and now I have to pay $50/yr for Feedbin. While this isn't a big deal, I don't track that many feeds so it's kind of unpleasant to pay $50/yr for the 10 feeds I track.
Thanks for the heads-up!

In my use case, files are shared between different instances of the application, usually without user intervention, but there's an attack vector to be addressed here.

This has been the third major outage for Netlify in the last few weeks.

I like the company, they have good people on their team, and their interface and functionality is great (deploy previews are so nice!).

But this is probably the last straw, as the static portion of our company's website has been down for 45 minutes now.

Fortunately, the beauty of a static site is they're quite easy to host anywhere.

We're already on AWS, and it's easy enough to set up CloudFront. It won't be _quite_ as quick to deploy but it will probably rarely if ever break. Guess that's my task for the day :(

I'm sure most website could traffic wise. But for me it is not a question whether I could, but if I should.

If my goal is building a website, I don't necessarily want to experiment with different technologies if I already know Postgres will work perfectly fine without adding much operational overhead and covering use cases I don't have yet, vs the unknown unknowns of using SQLite and maintaining it over time. Again, this is not about some problem with SQLite, but just me not having experience using it this way. Same reason why I wouldn't just add any database system I haven't used before, even if on paper it would be the "better tool for the job" for a particular use case, and sure would be an interesting learning experience.

In my opinion practicality and prior experience often beats what is strictly necessary or "best".
Sure but we are talking about developing FOSS software not unpaid internships. So what relevance does your comment have towards me wanting to realease Free Software?
In the graphics programming I've done as a hobby, if I have a struct that contains a buffer for an image (say 1024px x 1024px = a buffer array of length 1048576), and have functions that operate on that buffer, etc, I either have to:

1) Create a Vec (separate allocation)

2) Make 1024 or 1048576 a global constant that every relevant struct and function references directly (whole program must use the same size at once; forget about exposing it as a library)

With const generics I can make all that code generic over the buffer resolution, meaning I can trivially use multiple different versions within the same build, without doing extra allocations, and I could even expose that code as a library for others to use at whatever resolution they wish
I might be misunderstanding your question, but this post is about Julia, not R. Julia has a pretty great per-project dependency management.

Don't look back, look forward. You don't need to abandon KDE over the perceived lack of a single feature. It's simply not enabled by default because tiling is esoteric.

Run `systemsettings5 kcm_keys` → KWin and (re)assign keys to the window manager actions you need. If that's not sufficient, then run `systemsettings5 kwinscripts` → Get New Scripts… → filter "tiling".
Linux Mint has addressed this specifically. They enabled auto-updates in 20.1 only after they launched and tested Timeshift, which is a backup tool that enables you to boot into a past snapshot of the system much like FreeBSD's snapshots. It's geared mainly towards btrfs however, as ext4 doesn't support snapshots.

And to be fair, updates broke my Windows systems multiple times in the past as well. This isn't really a problem by itself since errors and mistakes happen, the problem is that the state of recovery tools in both systems is somewhat lacking. Linux can be repaired from Live USB and has Timeshift, but it doesn't have an easily accessible built-in rescue environment that's actually useful. Windows has DaRT, but all decent Live USB's for it are third-party and it's very hard to repair its internals if the existing tools don't work. FreeBSD is probably the closest to being bulletproof, but it has its own problems.

I clicked on this thinking I'd find tips on programming quotes.
As an administrator at Julia's discourse, I'd be really curious if this was the reason. Discourse's default "short date" format is super problematic. By default, they display something from 5 days ago as `Mar 20` and something from a year ago as `Mar '20`. We've changed that to have the year+ old posts display as `Mar 2020`, but maybe we should also change the recent display to be something different; maybe `20 Mar`? The UI doesn't give us too much space, unfortunately.

This is simplistic, but as short-term measures wouldn't it be prudent to turn off problematic autogeneration functions until they could be deployed reliably, which is to say, worked on properly before release into the wild?

Similarly, much as I realise the imperative to earn maximum ad revenue by encouraging maximum engagement (or time on the platform), couldn't FB radically cut back its suggested content and its newsfeed inserts etc until they weren't the equivalent of leading people from the light and down into the dungeons? Newsgroups/usenet etc had all manner of dark corners, inhabited by all manner of bad agents, but they reflected the same interests as existed IRL. No one got stuff shoved in their face unless they looked for it.

I am sure that FB has the talent to do better than it is doing at the moment. Move fast and break things is a great slogan, but if what you are breaking is society, and in some cases lives, then maybe slow down a bit.
A right means no one can stop you from doing something you have the right to do or require you to do something you have the right not to. If no one is around, there is still no one who can stop you from doing something you have the right to do nor require you to do something you have the right not to. Your rights are unnecessary, not undefined.

If you are mutually agreeing, by definition it is not unilateral.

Amazon (and other corporations) do reap enormous revenues and do good with it for society contrary to your assertion: they reinvest those profits instead of paying out dividends to investors. This creates more jobs and produces more innovations for society.

The idea in practice is that you pay taxes on profits, not revenue. People confuse the two. Not paying taxes on revenue is a feature not a bug. This is there to encourage reinvestment, which long term is good for society. If they didn’t reinvest and instead realized profits, a portion would be taxed and a portion would be paid out to investors. The taxes portion would be both invested and wasted by inefficient bureaucracy.

Either way, reinvestment in society is happening, but in one case it’s going back into reinvestment by a relatively unaccountable private entity and the other case a portion of it is going into reinvestment by a relatively unaccountable public entity. My personal observation is that the private entity, by virtue of earning the profit in the first place (especially if in a fiercely competitive market), has proven itself a more capable steward of reinvesting that money to produce things people in society want (which they demonstrate by buying that company's goods/services)

That’s not to say that there isn’t value in having public reinvestment, but that those in charge of public reinvestment should instead tax other activities (in my opinion conspicuous consumption by individuals via a sales tax) and they should earn that right to spend more by convincing individuals collectively to forego their conspicuous consumption in the present (via raising sales tax) because they will return more value for society through their proposed reinvestments.

Government should tax things you want less of (wanton indiscriminate conspicuous consumption) and not things you want more of: reinvestment
