Sadly, publishing world is guilty of turning popular blog post series into books because the bloggers have a platform to promote. Then the bloggers turn each paragraph in their famous blog post into chapters in their book. You can understand that kind of books by reading the first few paragraphs of each chapter. As an example, Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life comes to my mind. I think he turned a Quora answer to a book for that one.

I love books that make me think along, and take me a lot of time to finish. James N. Frey's How to write a damn good novel is my example for that kind of book.

I would love to hear the books you have studied thoroughly.

I think the "oh no human moderation would cost us too much" defense is a distraction. It's a good one, because it is working, but it is still a distraction.

Let us suppose we have a program which checks for orthodoxy according to the YouTube Terms of Service against each video submitted.

Nothing but a lack of having done the work prevents YouTube from adding to its "rejected" flag the following:

1) A list of timestarts and durations of the portions of the video violating the ToS.
2) For each item in that list, make it a tuple and add a reason -- which clause was violated?

Then outputting that to the owner of the rejected video.

Nothing stops them from doing this. Some set of words or images happened somewhere in the timestream -- the orthodoxy program has that timestamp as it churns through the video. And a specific clause was violated -- a particular word in a wordlist as an example, because there's no simple, non-composite function that just says "good or not good."

This is really not a particularly high bar as an ask.
Ask HN: How to Speak Confidently?
How do I learn to speak confidently in a group setting ? Sometimes when I start speaking and if people are silent or if I can not read their expressions, I start loosing confidence. If someone interruptus and start asking questions or criticizing, I loose my train of thought and start second guessing my ideas and opinions. I start to avoid participating or stop presenting my ideas. This is stopping me from growing in to a good engineer. How do I get better ?

Saying "no"— attacking new ideas— is a habit that a lot of people acquire in meatspace, too. It's easy to sound smart by attacking others' ideas, because you can invent untested scenarios ad infinitum. You can "have the last word." I personally (mentally) dismiss people who habitually do this as low-value contributors. Unfortunately, sometimes they are rewarded, presumably because they sound so smart), and the habit becomes ingrained. Sometimes they even become the boss.

The people who can come up with ideas in the first place are way more impressive in my view because that's more difficult.

My hypothesis is that some people learn this bad habit early in their careers, and bolstered by

Western 'Free markets' are not free at all, and the sale of these vaccines could be regulated to a fixed price.

In the meantime, the state has taken a monopoly on the distribution of these vaccines and has even stopped administering them, so while they are available, they are locked away.

How so?

When I pay my accountant to do my taxes, it adds to GDP. How is this “conversion of natural resources into monetary capital”?
These can be changed and you can be charged under other crimes which may have different statue of limitations. When the government decides they want you in prison, it doesn't particularly care how it does so. Tax evasion, drug trafficking, funding terrorism, CSA changes, weapons smuggling, or RICO or country equivalent, they'll use which ever seems easiest to get you.

For a buyer, this isn't as big of a deal because you won't have that level of target on your back, but for anyone running a marketplace I don't think statute of limitations will protect you once they figure out who you are.
> But isn't this still a specific and repeatable behavior?

Depends, maybe it chooses the time zone to calculate night/day randomly.

> They still exist, but they've been obfuscated in a way that makes them much less apparent? Handy for teaching, but ultimately limiting?

Right, and that’s okay. Languages that are handy for teaching but ultimately limiting are still programming languages. Being good at parsing files and writing calculators is not the bar for being a programming language. HTML and CSS are still programming languages even if they’re not used to write parsers. Excel is still a programming language even if it’s not used to write servers. LaTeX is still a programming language even if you can’t easily write games with it. People don’t reach for C to write web pages, or budget their finances, or publish their manuscripts. This doesn’t make C less of a programming language.

Datalog, Coq, and Agda are three languages off the top of my head that are not even Turing complete, so you’re not going to be able to express all programs in them. If not being able to express a parser in Cree# makes it not a programming language, is Datalog not a programming language?

Coq is a limited language for theorem proving. Is it not still a programming language? Actually, now that I think about it, “general purpose” languages like C are ultimately limited by their Turing completeness to not be good languages for theorem proving. So this is another area where “general” has some caveats. In other words, Coq being “less capable” than C allows you to do things in Coq that you can’t do in a “general” language.
It's even easier, really, just release their real phone number.

That's the problem. They're strongly biased towards the do no harm side of the balance - even when inaction causes much greater harm. It's simply a blind spot for them.

They're the wrong group to make the call here, and the politicians should overrule them.

0. It's not like the vaccines get discarded or the factory slows down - every dose that isn't purchased by rich western countries is one that will go elsewhere, possibly saving even more lives.

1. Professionals might have data we don't have - maybe they've used up their stock of AZ but have plenty of other vaccines.

2. They might be making more nuanced calculations. For example, if they've already vaccinated all their high-risk groups, the risk-to-reward trade off for younger groups might be worse.

3. Alternately, they might be being more conservative than you and I. I'm expecting the end of vaccine roll-outs to mean lockdowns and masks end permanently and the entire economy comes out of hibernation, which is a big pay-off. But between the vaccine's less-than-100% success rate, the risk of new variants, people who can't be vaccinated, international travel and so on, they might feel my benefits are too speculative to have a place in their calculations.

4. Healthcare ethics can be a complicated matter, and they've probably spent longer agonising about it than we have. After all, you and I are talking about pulling a hypothetical lever - they're the ones who'll actually be pulling it and cleaning up the splattered blood.

5. They might be particularly worried about the vaccine-hesitant, feeling hesitancy is a bigger risk than the deaths caused by vaccine rollouts taking a few months longer. They might feel the best way to reassure the vaccine-hesitant is to be demonstrably extra-vigilant, rather than providing reassurance that might sound like denial or cover-up.

6. Public health comms has to be inclusive of even the dumbest people in the population. Nuanced, complex messages might get lost in the mix. With this, the message is "WE NOT GIVE YOU BAD VACCINE. YOU GET VACCINE WE GIVE YOU GOOD VACCINE." - very simple!

The problem is not that they're loud. The problem is that they're making laws pass, they write corporate training material and they try to make your boss fire you if you voice an opinion different from theirs. These are things that have consequences in real life.
You are overlooking something pretty substantial. Denmark are almost done giving vaccinations to everyone older than 65 (2-3 days left). If they kept using AstraZeneca they basically only have people younger than 65 to give it to.

The hand-holding part is correct. The 'self-motivated' part, well, I'd rephrase that as earnest corporate slave. If one is not an earnest corporate slave the job can be potentially soul sucking.

About the training part, while the language/framework hand holding is not expected the system specific architecture and specifics hand holding is indeed a must. Most teams skim or do not pay sufficient attention to the latter, resulting in a new hire not coming upto speed as quickly as he would ideally have.

Denmark is done with 65+ vaccinations in two days.
Shanghai Hacker News Meetup – April 2021
The thing is that in the 60+ group or 65+ group it's not that complicated: there have been zero concerns about the virus there, but the disease is very dangerous in that group. The difference in risk of dying from Covid vs dying from vaccination is large, even with Denmarks quite low spread.

It's quite possible that people under 60, or perhaps only women under 60 should not take it. In that group, the numbers are at least starting to be possible to compare. Which is why many countries have stopped it in that group (despite the risk of covid death even in that group being higher!).

So it's indeed not very simple, but you can always find a group where even conservatively counting the risk is enormous from the disease and tiny from the vaccine.
it is mining since thousands years. That is finite time for you?)

The law around scams looks a lot like the design of unit tests.

On the one hand, you have the full suite of hypothetical unethical mechanisms (realized and unrealized) human beings could scheme up to unfairly cheat each other out of hard-earned resources. Analogous to the full suite of behaviors a complex program could exhibit given arbitrary inputs over infinite time.

And on the other hand, you have a subset of those behaviors carved out and codified as illegal, where a violator will go to jail. Analogous to the behaviors a unit test suite can rule out.

But unit tests, as we know, are not mathematical proofs of soundness.

This kind of attitude only serves to entrench the problem and make everything worse. Even if you are not personally affected by youtube's damaging policies, just using the platform is an insulting lack of respect towards other people who are.
What ever happened to "be the change you want to see in the world"? Any such change must be led by knowledgeable people like this security researcher.

For `push` to extend capacity by just 1 is an absolutely insane default.

There is no sensible usage for a method that does that. It turns `for(let i = 0; i < n; i++) { arr.push(x); }` from linear into quadratic.

If automatic resizing exists, then it should do it in a sensible way. Otherwise it's just a footgun that you should leave out of the language like C does.
