I used to joke when I left academia that this combined with the imposter effect was why academia in the west is totally stalled. So many professors are positive they understand everything outside of their little silo as deeply as their silo, especially with regards to social policy and politics. It was quite shocking when more than a few suggested after a few drinks ideas that were inches from the sterilization programmes and such from the early 20th century. The people usually making it high up with people with the highest example of this effect because the effect gave them an extreme confidence in their statements even if they were totally wrong. The administration and such wouldn't realize this and they would get promotions etc.

Yet. Some of the smartest folks I met were convinced they were imposters and because of that didn't have the same confidence and usually were hen pecked to death because their analysis commonly differed from the social norm of the academic class.
My own. (:

In general I was a little frustrated with the state of Rust's web server ecosystem since it has, what I personally call, the NPM syndrome. Pulling a single crate will often pull along with it hundreds of dependencies, and murder your compile times. I know that those dependencies are often necessary, but during development I do not need all of that.

So I made my own.

But of course it's generally a bad idea to run your own HTTP stack in production. So my framework works like this - it can be compiled either in development mode, or in production mode.

In development mode it uses my own crappy HTTP stack and my own crappy async executor and has *zero* dependencies, and compiles super fast. In production mode it uses `hyper` and `tokio`. In both cases the API is exactly the same. So I can have my cake and eat it too.
How to Meditate and Make Better Decisions, Faster
The compound is a solvent, you reuse it repeatedly, so there is no need for it to be >1:1.
I have a feeling that you wouldn't be making this argument if the decision was reversed. The law is important, it's how we resolve disputes like this. But rulings can be disputed and one is not obligated to dismiss "Amazon's legal theories" from one's mind just because some legal body ruled one way or another.

As a reader, I am interested to hear exactly how Amazon claims these former employees violated its internal policies. The article's lack of curiosity is interesting.
That’s considerably more expensive than Apple’s $50/$70 flat rate pricing.

I can see how that can happen. The moment that GTM was pushed for at my last company it made me really uncomfortable but ultimately got pushed through. I wish it had a built in process for review and approval.

It looks like it does but the permissions are so frustrating to use that it just becomes overly permissive as a side effect.

Yes a NOP is an instruction to do something. It tells the cpu to not change state for a period of time equal to how long it takes to execute the NOP.
Interesting. I have semi vivid dreams often. Basically I'm able to recognize that I'm dreaming but shortly after taking control or if I try to change to much I wake up immediately.

Any advice?
He addresses this in footnote 1 on the same page, though. "A different company, Sun, created the library. But because Oracle later purchased Sun, for simplicity I refer to both companies as Oracle."
Anecdotally since I see people referring to other Soviet TV shows making their way to Western audiences a friend turned me to on Comrade Detective. It's a fascinating view into propaganda as entertainment from the Cold War. It's free on Amazon Prime's streaming service.

From IMDB:

Parody comedy designed to resemble a non-existent gritty 1980's Cold War Romanian police show that promoted Communist ideals. The action-packed and blood-soaked first season finds Detectives Gregor Anghel and Joseph Baciu investigating the murder of fellow officer Nikita Ionescu and, in the process, unraveling a subversive plot to destroy their country that is fueled by what-else-but the greatest enemy: Capitalism.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5834198/
Upvoted because you shouldn't be downvoted into oblivion just for having an opinion contrary to the HN hivemind. It's okay to think Oracle should have won here. I disagree, but there are reasonable people on both sides.
Grist 50 2021: Meet the Fixers
You understand correctly. The jury's decision isn't final (and I thought this was ruled on by a judge directly, instead of a jury, but I could be wrong). You can appeal pretty much any case to a higher court. I don't know the order, but it's not uncommon for cases to appeal to a higher court several times. I.e. a verdict is rendered in a county court; you don't like it, so you appeal to the state court. State court still doesn't give the decision you want, so you appeal to the Supreme Court.

It's worth noting that the higher court can reject your appeal. You're not entitled to be seen by the higher court, and if you can't come up with good grounds for why the lower court was wrong, the appeal will be rejected. The Supreme Court rejects a fair number of appeals (I think the majority of cases).

This is final though. There is no higher court than the Supreme Court to appeal to. At this point, the only reason it would change is if the laws change, or the Supreme Court reverses their decision later. It's extremely rare that they whole-hog reverse a precedent that they set, though.
You are equating mean youtube comments to revenge porn. This is the whole "We should just ban cars" response when someone brings up gun control.

>It should be impossible to comment referencing someone else without a signed waver from the participants

If the comment is a nude picture of myself and I didn't give you permission to post it the law already agrees that this should be illegal. All I'm asking is to make it enforceable.

Porn is shady industry ripe with abuse and exploitation. How do you know the person you are watching is over 18? Let me answer that... You don't. Some industries should be given more regulatory scrutiny than others.
The latter. Once the Supreme Court rules, that is the law of the land, unless Congress/President pass a new law substantially changing things, which could then have challenges go back through the judicial process.
Great! This could open a very dangerous precedent.

"The record also showed that Java SE’s copyright holder would benefit from the reimplementation of its interface into a different market....the jury also heard evidence that Sun foresaw a benefit from the broader use of the Java programming language in a new platform like Android, as it would further expand the network of Java-trained programmers...and because there are two markets at issue, programmers learning the Java language to work in one market (smartphones) are then able to bring those talents to the other market (laptops)."

The benefits of reimplementing APIs always flow both ways. I'm glad SCOTUS recognised this point.
Even more egregiously, Oracle's whole existence is based off of copying the SQL API from IBM.
I didn't understand that either, but I found a good explanation on page 2:

"The fair use question is a mixed question of fact and law. Reviewing courts should appropriately defer to the jury’s findings of underlying facts, but the ultimate question whether those facts amount to a fair use is a legal question for judges to decide de novo. This approach does not violate the Seventh Amendment’s prohibition on courts reexamining facts tried by a jury, because the ultimate question here is one of law, not fact. The “right of trial by jury” does not include the right to have a jury resolve a fair use defense."

Can you elaborate on that? What does this have to do with those thing?
Not surprised at all the Thomas and Alito are in that dissent..

The Supreme Court overturns Oracle's copyright win over Google
They are using a modern JDK on Android. The standard library is literally OpenJDK, and the runtime is the excellent ART JVM, which has super-fast GC and tons of mobile-specific optimizations (like zygote space support and switching to a different GC when the app goes into the background). IMHO, you really don't want HotSpot on mobile. ART is good work.
While I agree with you in this instance, I think there are cases where the different opinions in a case are relevant, such as the majority and dissenting opinions in SCOTUS cases.
> and he doesn’t even remember his own code months later

To be fair, this is also true of me. What can can done?

I assume the implication is that code isn't well enough documented/commented, or the code written was poor -but still, if you work on several fairly complicated, yet similar, issues in a few months, what can you do beyond re-read the original tickets/PR to recall the original context?

This is why I hate the notion that communism could be state-less. It is a prescriptive ideology that is concerned with describing systems and ensuring outcomes. Any mechanism that enforces that will be an authoritarian state, regardless of what you call it. Any absence of that mechanism would just immediately result in a market economy.

Capitalism make no such prescriptions. It doesn't care how you structure your economic relationships, and it doesn't care to manage the outcomes of those economic relationships. Which is why communes exist in capitalist systems. What I don't understand is why more communists don't just collective resources and go live in communes; land is incredibly cheap with pooled resources. Instead we have to have our entire societies constantly bombarded with attempts to restructure them into these dystopian models.

A flat reduced rate after a year isn’t much of a fix to that problem. Given that we have CPI and use it in lots of other government programs it’d be easy enough to just adjust the basis for inflation (and while we are at it we can get rid of the step up basis at death.)
Sounds like an incredibly slow way to handle a LAMP stack. On your website you mentioned manually writing the routing and other basic functions a framework covers out of the box.

From your website: "we transfer control to the first PHP file, the router, and begin by importing my little toolbox I've accumulated over the years." If you wanna "get stuff done" that doesn't sound simple or fast.

You don't use any js frameworks? You write CSS by hand and throw out all the benefits of SCSS?! This all applies just to your personal blog. It would not scale.

"It's a total hack achieved by careful output buffering, variable scoping, and function overloading" how is "a total hack" simpler than OOTB functions provided by a PHP framework?

You're even defending ragged-left aligned-right text. In any country where uses are used to reading left-to-right this is the slowest way to read, this has been studied well before the web existed.

They could file a new lawsuit but this specific complaint is effectively over.

Considering that the votes were not close, I don’t think Oracle would try again. Likely they will pursue a substantially different strategy to try and extort Google.

hyperscript (`h()`) had its first commit 9 years ago and the syntax is common in other rendering libraries (e.g. mithril, ivi).

Definitely very confusing on the naming front. It is at least possible to disambiguate searches with the underscore.

They didn't establish a new test, they applied the existing 4 tests / factors and found that they indicated fair use. The first 2 or 3 pages contain a description of the 4 tests and how they were found to apply in this case.
Thanks for pointing that out -- I skipped over that first footnote. On my screen, it's on the previous page from the quote I posted (for what it's worth).
Are you implying that it's not actually realistic, it just makes you think so? I'm not sure if the team that actually developed the software used many psychologists. Perhaps they did, but the article didn't mention that.
I obviously don't know "Pat" in this example, but the half-assed coding combined with missed deadlines and inability to recall code he wrote later sounds a lot more like a motivation problem than a competence problem.

It's really hard for some people (myself included) to give good, timely work when they simply do not care about the stuff they're working on. It's entirely possible that Pat is actually a very good programmer on projects that he cares about (following code standards, meeting deadlines, "going above and beyond" etc), but may have been put on a project that he doesn't feel is interesting or mentally stimulating.

From experience, I can say that a not-insignificant amount of projects in corporate America (and probably other countries too, I just have not worked outside of the US) really are "busy work", that create little or no actual value to the company or the world, are not intellectually interesting, and are largely worked on to justify the existence of some middle-manager. When I am working on a project like this, especially when it's the only thing I'm assigned, it's incredibly hard for me to care about the results of it.

Granted, I might be a crappy programmer, but I think the dichotomy between "good programmer" and "bad programmer" is needlessly reductive.

First, this article is from 2017.

Second, it does not accurately describe the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Yes, people who are less skilled in an area over-estimate their level of skill and those who are more skilled tend to under-estimate. But the less skilled don't necessarily think they're better than the more skilled.

Basically, if your skill is a 5, you might think you're actually a 10. And if your skill is a 20, you might think you're an 18.

So just because someone thinks they're highly skilled, it doesn't mean they're experiencing Dunning-Kruger.
How Much Does It Cost to Start a Business
Also speaking as a layman, but yes. Fair use has, as one of its four factors, the purpose and character of the use, to which interoperability is of definite relevance. It explains -why- the API was reused, even if the internals are entirely different. Not because it saved Google work, or there was some sort of competitive edge against Java SE to be gained by doing so.
Well, you're describing how things are today but not necessarily how they could be.

I agree with the OP's sentiment that cars are mostly not needed. We've just been hoodwinked into building in car-friendly ways instead of people-friendly ways, and so we have these spread-out, fragile, suburban areas that depend entirely on cheap oil to function (if not the gas itself, the manufacturing, maintenance, and support of cars and car infrastructure).

Instead of building too dense (skyscrapers - opposite end of the problem spectrum) or not dense enough (suburbs) we could have built mixed-use walkable neighborhoods and towns and really reduced the need to spend money on cars. But hey, Ford, GM, and Chrysler had great lobbyists back in the day, and the threat of nuclear war with the Soviets meant that getting tanks and troops from one place to another necessitated the construction of extensive highway and freeway infrastructure. Win-win for a segment of the population with specific beliefs. Now we're so used to it that we find it hard to imagine living without it.

It infuriates me whenever I talk to people and they're like "wow Europe is so walkable! You can just go to the cafe down the street." or somewhere like Mackinac Island (aside from the horse poo) where people go to vacation - it's like yea we could just build like that everywhere if we wanted to. But we're dumb and we don't think and construction and automotive jobs need subsidies to keep the economy growing.
Someone would have to make specific JS to target your specific app/service and specific users, as well as in some way "launder" the stolen data. Totally different 'order of magnitude' from automatically and legally taking the users' data.

I hope this is the correct way to evaluate these kind of things?
As others have said, you’re so enmeshed in “progressive” dogma that you can’t even recognize true liberal ideas. Greenwald is as liberal as they come the fact that the democrat party has become so fascist while pretending to be liberal and progressive doesn’t mean he’s changed. They have and he’s refusing to toe the party line for them.

All your examples are him sticking to true liberalism while the ideas he criticizes are extremist autocratic ideology that wouldn’t be out of place in 1935 Italy.

I say this as someone who vehemently disagrees with much of both glens ideology and the insanity that is the Democrat party platform.

To go line by line on your points:

1) I’m not sure what you’re trying to prove here but as others have said glen is sticking to what has always been liberal Americans stance on Russia, it’s a non-issue.

2) not sure about this one bec I don’t have any knowledge of UK politics

3-5) Hunter Biden is a real story and just bec it hurts the DNC candidate should t prevent reporters from talking about it. The fact that so many have decided to put their head in the sand is worrying. But Greenwald has never shied away from exposing the dirty underbelly of the elites. The fact that this time it exposes Biden to corruption claims shouldn’t stop the sorry from coming to light.

6) Criticizing a DNC bill doesn’t make a you national socialist workers’ party member. It makes you a thinking person. If you can’t criticize a bad bill bec of who sponsored it you’ve got big problems.

7) see above. He’s highlighting problems that a normal progressive person would have, just bec you don’t like it... that just means you’re less progressive than you thought, doesn’t make him a fascist.
> At best, he’s a middling performer; his code is a mess (initializing variables that are never used, using variable names no one else understands, etc.), he takes longer than he should, and he doesn’t even remember his own code months later.

Not everyone is a top performer. If you're a large software company you're going to have lots of 'average' people.

The "his code is a mess" is hard to qualify.

Variables that are never used and no one understands? So this imaginary large software company doesn't use an IDE or linters of any kind? That seems quite unlikely.

He takes longer than he should? Because he's average and you're holding him to an above average standard? Or you've overloaded him with work which is quite likely.
