Retrospective: An Axiomatic Basis for Computer Programming

Absolutely not click-bait. The title reflects the intent and content of the bills. The Alabama legislature is vocally against the concept of transgenderism.

> AFAIK this and similar bills outlaw what could be termed “body modification” for under-18 children

Surgery recommended by a doctor is not "body modification," it is medical treatment.

Also, this goes far beyond surgery. It also outlaws the use of prescription drugs.

> roughly in line with overall limitations on the freedoms of underage individuals (e.g. regarding technically-consensual sex, or vulva surgery - which is legally “female circumcision” if performed on underage women

First of all, minors can have consensual, legal sex... with each other. Age-of-consent laws are intended to protect children from adults, not from themselves. I don't see what this has to do with anything, because it's unrelated to a medical condition and doesn't require a doctor to carefully manage it.

Second, "female circumcision" is not "vulva surgery," it is usually mutilation of the clitoris intended to eliminate female pleasure. It is not something a minor would (or could) seek as a treatment for any medical condition.
Can you name any of these cities? People keep using this argument in discussions about Amazon, but I've not seen any specific evidence for it - i.e., a town where it really is true.

I'm conscious I'm starting to sound like a broken record, having posed this question several times in another recent thread, but where is the evidence that Amazon has access to an endless supply of workers who are at-once sufficiently able-bodied, able-minded and otherwise capable of doing the work Amazon needs done, and also so desperate for work that they will tolerate any level of mistreatment?

My claim is not that Amazon has no room to improve pay and conditions for its workers. I'm sure it does. I'm just questioning the assumption that Amazon is able to endlessly exploit and mistreat its workers without consequence.
The value introduced by C++ was type safety. In C, it's way too easy for the format string to get out of sync with the type of the arguments, e.g.:

printf("%d", my_long_var);

Might seem correct and work correctly on one platform, but fail on another. scanf() is arguably even worse since it can cause memory corruption.

These days compilers have diagnostics to catch those errors, but if you rely on those you can't use dynamic format strings, which means you're effectively using a subset of C with a stronger type checker than C. That's a pretty good state but it's definitely not "old style printf()"; old style printf() was insecure.

And don't get me started on the convoluted macro invocations necessary to correctly convert int32_t, int64_t, size_t and ptrdiff_t. And that's with the newest standard: IIRC there was no standard way to print long long in C, at the time when C++ already supported it.
There's gotta now be way too many serialisation formats. Each one claiming similar things to others.

What would be helpful is a concrete example showing what was tried with an existing approach that fell short. I mean code, benchmarks, theory.

Edit: No implied criticism of Go intended - while not to my personal taste it seems like a fine language that a lot of people clearly get a lot of value from.
> Any time metadata is duplicated in a system (specifically, an interface or protocol), alarm bells go off for me.

You might be very nervous to learn that most filesystems duplicate some metadata in one way or another. FAT, NTFS MFT, ext4 superblocks and group descriptors come to my mind. In some level you ought to have duplicates; it's a matter of where to place them. ZIP's choice made sense at the time of smaller and slower disks. (I do think that the modern standard ZIP should make some fields scrubbed to prevent compatibility problems, though.)

My personal use case for tailscale is to connect my home PC, MacBook Air, Raspberry pi, iPhone, iPad and my VPS into a single network without running a VPN server.

The best part is that you don’t have to open any ports on your router and it “just works” out of the box.

So even if I’m in a different country I can use the nextcloud app on my phone to connect to my raspberry pi in a secure manner and backup photos, which in turn backs them up to my VPS.
Thats fair enough, all comes down to your usage patterns!

I think once you've gone past enough for the household's streaming needs - multiply each person by two 4K streams in case they have the tv on and a video on their phone, and a bit extra for music, always-on devices, browsing etc - you really are only looking at "burst" capacity, and whether it matters to you to get the big things fast.

OTOH it's becoming a bit of a moot point here - with 900/900 available for £25 (~$34) per month, why not?
Hm, this is interesting and a little unsatisfying.

The guy can't seem to let go of the idea of being a particular kind of character and it's aggravating to watch him acting how he thinks that kind of character should act. Or, you know, write. Tersely. In the desert. In a trailer. $300 a month.

A little more classical literary touch really wouldn't hurt here.
Also, torrents.
So the support person is a glorified bot, but we have to be careful not to hurt it's feelings? Honestly I feel for the support guy, but he represents the company. And companies purposely push their support onto social media platforms like twitter - where exactly are unhappy customers supposed to vent their anger?
Also take into consideration that the biggest anti-China propaganda is coming from the one country which is afraid of being overtaken as the world's biggest economy by China.

China doesn't seem to be a big problem in any other country across the globe. Strange. It's also quite funny how so many more countries in the world are afraid of the USA, particularly those with oil reserves and other natural resources.
Then those tasks absolutely need to be automated. If you can't even pay living wages in a poorer country then this isn't a task that humans should perform.
>And you can bet the US has no intention to intervene.

The most absolutely do. They might not want to, but they have no choice. Taiwan is a shackle in a long chain:

From South Korea, across the Korean strait, to Japan.

From Japan, along the Ryukyu islands to Taiwan.

From Taiwan, across the Luzon strait, to the Philippines.

From there to Malaysia (and Singapore) and Indonesia.

Almost nowhere along this 4000 mile chain is there a gap wider than 100 miles.

It is this chain which keeps China from freely accessing the Pacific Ocean.

If China could break through they would have unlimited access to the Pacific. And from
there to the rest of the world. That is an existential threat to the USA.

That is why China wants Taiwan. That is why the US can not allow China to take Taiwan. Both sides know this.

So yes, China could most likely take Taiwan through war (albeit it at a high cost). But wars are not over when one side says it's over.
The USA would absolutely carry on a multi-year war to regain Taiwan. They would much rather fight the PLAN
five miles off Taipei than fight it five miles off Honolulu or San Francisco.

On such a long term horizon, you should consider staff turnover, which is never zero. So, no, what you're inferring from those "postulates" is incorrect.

I worked for a big dotcom company in the past and

1) there was a cap on headcount (as it's usually the case), so a lot gets outsourced

2) they don't care about internal domain knowledge: everybody should be replaceable at any time, ramp up costs are not even taken into account. Companies that wants employees to set goals usually are big and usually can afford to lose people with "internal domain knowledge". Even if, of course, they'll try not to do that, but it's still not that big of a deal.

While I really like philosophy (really, I do!), I'm a very practical guy and I'm still missing the evidence that I'm looking for. And I'm pretty sure it won't come in the form of a syllogism :)

> Any critical discussion about the need for draconian measures or their efficacy is social suicide.

You are commenting on an article that disproves this theory.

> it will be almost impossible to find a country where you can escape the draconian measures

Besides getting a vaccine, what are you talking about, specifically?

I have been getting vaccines all my life. They're quick, they're free (with my health insurance), and they have potentially saved my life. They've certainly saved millions of other lives.

"Draconian" would be going back to a time before we had herd immunity.

> Eventually you will be forced to take numerous vaccinations to normally participate to society.

You should absolutely be forced to take vaccines if you want to use facilities that other people are forced to use, indoors, with you (e.g. public school, hospitals, prisons).

I strongly support everyone's right to refuse a vaccine, but I also support the rest of us having the right to be protected from those people.

My public college required everyone living in the dorm to get vaccinated for meningitis. It was not a big deal. I suppose people who didn't want the vaccine just didn't live there.
> 2) I don't know about Hungarian gun laws, but I imagine you can't just go in and buy a guy without a permit?

Yes, you need a permit, though illegal gun ownership is somewhat of an issue. Getting a permit isn't easy, from what I hear.

> Also, are handguns permitted?

Yes.

> Gas pistol implies like a CO2 powered air gun?

No, they're guns that shoot tear gas and the like, and can often also be used for launching small pyrotechnics. The barrel is usually obstructed to make sure they can't be used to shoot projectiles. Theoretically, they could be manipulated to fire projectiles, but it's complicated, difficult, illegal, and probably easier and cheaper to just buy the real thing.

Was it a moral stance or the fact he had a great detestation of human suffering, as alluded to in the article. Someone of that brilliance would quite easily be able to draw the link between their work and future suffering.

It's possible this is a moral stance but I'm not so sure, it some what feels like a pain reaction. I must admit I've had the same thought about my own actions, I hate to see people suffer too the point where it has a pain like sensation, If I've been the cause of it I try to rectified quickly, is this morality?
But wasn't the whole Pfizer/BioNTech "secret sauce" leaked online after the EMA was hacked?
Yes. Another important metaphor is that the common idea of DNA as blueprints is entirely wrong. It's not blueprints, it's a recipe. A blueprint describes what something is. A recipe describes the steps needed to make something, making use of a lot of complex existing machinery and parts with only a reference to them.

What Sony should do is when they turn off the servers for PS4 they will put a final update that disables all this problematic checks/features.

Now legally if I bought a game digitally could Sony refuse to offer it to me in 25 years because they can't bother to run some servers anymore? The PS3 announcement specifies that you can still download your games, only purchasing new stuff is no longer supported - which honestly feels weird , why not let people publish small indie games to PS3 too, is it hat extremely expensive to maintain those servers? Is it because of technical issues or is a people issue.

For those people here saying "go Ruckus unleashed" ... caveat emptor my friends !

I have it on very good authority that Ruckus have started rolling out a change in their pricing model to require a Unleashed license per AP to operate, a move which obviously increases costs to the end-user.

Some people might say its a deliberate move prevent cannibalisation of their main business model by nudging people away from Unleashed. I couldn't possibly comment.

Some feedback that will help better understanding of costs.

1. A medium size container vessel (10k TEUS) with abt 15kts speeds will cost the same as the canal transit cost now that the fuel is relatively cheap, compared to the Africa voyage. But you save time.

2. Major liners (APM, MSC, etc), enjoy significant discounts over face value for the canal transits as they commit volumes. The discounts could be north of 30%+, but not publicly available. WILHELMSEN has a nice calculator

3. There is no scenario that something cannot be monetized, either it will be fuel or time or both. As such any financial loss due to the canal clocking can be calculated. The vessel’s P&I will be very busy.
I think Stallman is an utter idiot for doing the “well akhshually” thing and pointing out, “that an old guy who has sex with 17 year old hookers, may not be aware they are being forced to have sec with him”. It’s not exactly defending a pedo, or Epstein, it’s just really stupid.

I read this title as "In the deepest despair, electroconvulsive therapy offers hype" and tend to agree with my misreading of it, is it the memory loss that makes patients to forget about their depression? Psychedelics can sometimes cause you to forget who you are and reset some brain circuits but at least it's temporary and could be done in a more controlled and comfortable settings. I would argue that the long term memory loss caused by ECT is often more debilitating than any side effects that psychedelics could produce.

You’ve summed it up well. But, I still think Taiwan is next. China has been getting more and more aggressive there. A friend of mine lives in Taiwan, and told me that the Chinese have sent fighter jets deeper and deeper into the island’s airspace of late.

The US will make a lot of noise, but I’m going to say there’d be no hot war between the US and China.

Also, I suspect the PRC will do a fair bit of soft work before making that move. You’ll see pro PRC activism rise in Taiwan so that an invasion no longer seems so black and white.

Now, if China ever made a move on Japan, things would be different. But I don’t see that happening. Once China has Taiwan, they control the waters in that area, and there is no need to invade Japan. Japan would basically have to comply with China at that point.

From there, China just does their thing, expanding their sphere of influence, etc, taking over small targets that won’t raise too much ire from the rest of the world.

Anyway, if we’re making predictions, that’s my current one.
