TLDR; We don't determine sentencing lengths based on the crime alone, we determine sentencing lengths based on the expected duration required to ensure that society is safe.

With kids we expect to rehabilitate them faster.

The long version:
You may no see how it matters, but the reasoning is sound:

If you are going to be lenient on juveniles because they are not fully mature enough mentally to contemplate the full effect of their actions, why make certain actions exempt from contemplation?

> This does quite clearly show what the people in the justice system think is worse: an adult hacker vigilante is worse than a 16 yo rapist.

The criminal justice system does not evaluate the actions of a criminal in isolation, they largely take into account the intention behind the action (Look up Mens Rea).

You are just putting two outcomes next to each other for comparison, while the reality is that the intention and maturity of the mind behind those actions are what decides the judgment.

Should someone with the mental capacity of a 5 year old commit some violent crime, do you still think we should judge them as we do with a normal adult?

The ultimate problem with your argument is that the justice system is not about getting revenge on criminals. It's about making society safer.

When someone commits a crime we remove them from society for the period we think it will take to rehabilitate them[1], and ensure that they aren't able to harm society further during the time they are not rehabilitated.

The reasoning for juveniles to get a lower sentence is because we, collectively, think that it will be faster to rehabilitate a minor than an adult.

> I doubt you would get the same result if civilians were asked.

You'd be surprised: leave gender out of it and ask about "violent crime" and most parents would agree that the court should be more lenient on kids. That's because, as parents (and former kids) we know that kids make incredibly poor decisions.

Phrasing the question as "would you prefer your kids rapist to get off with a slap on the wrist" would get the response you want.

[1] Whether or not this is successful is irrelevant as we cannot know the success at the time of sentencing.
I hate making a new login that I have to remember for things I might not even use. It would be nice if you could create the website first, then only sign up if you liked it and wanted to save it. This stops me from testing cool looking projects like this all the time :(

EDIT: that being said, I love that you can edit the landing page itself, that at least gives me some idea of how it works, although then if I turn it into something interesting I have to start over when I sign up.
We know if an emotion is worse than another empirically. You'd rather feel joyful than ashamed, for example. You can aim for pride. That's fine. But there's better things. When you're prideful (self-inflating would be a good synonym) you're coming off as defensive. It begs the question why do you need that.

The distinction between the "goods" I was talking about is a question of whether you're motivated by that defensiveness, or some sense of lack, or if it's an act of caring, or an act of joy, or whatever. There's a world of difference between those approaches to action.
Do they really? show them something foreign or a new technology and ask them how they feel, you will see how in control of their emotions they really are.
I think people should get vaccinated, but 'think of the children' is not a strong argument since they seem to be at very low risk of becoming seriously ill or death compared to every other age category.
You don't need a filter. The modern way to enforce this is having Apple and Google remove WhatsApp from their respective stores.
I wish I could say that to my younger self
Don’t believe everything you read online, especially when the parent commenter is clearly not even American based on their spelling. I live in the US and have only used a “check” a couple of times in the past 5 years.

And almost nobody would ever use one at a retail store or restaurant or food truck, if anything they’re only used for sending large sums of money to small businesses who want to avoid the 3% card processing fee. It’s still bad that this fee is so high on our primary payment rails, but it’s not as ridiculous as people in this thread are making it sound.
This is fantastic. Nice work.

Just because of Geocities-era sites, I really wanted there to be graphical visit counter elements I could add to a page.
> There were exchange rates and everything.

So did many other economic plans and countries that tried to control inflation by keeping an artificial peg to the USD. That also didn't work.

> Not sure what's so special about it.

That fact that it worked. That's what it is special about it.

It wasn't "just the creation of another currency". It was the fact that URV allowed to de-index the economy. It made it possible for people to separate the price from the value of things when they were spending. It made it possible for people to stop rushing to gas station or the groceries as soon as they got their paycheck, because now their salaries were nominated in URV and they didn't have to spend as possible before its value corroded.

It wasn't URV by itself that solved the issue of hyperinflation in Brazil. Inflation would come back if FHC didn't continue with the budget-balancing reforms, the privatizations, the increased taxes. But it was URV that gave people some faith that things could be stable, which is an absolute requirement. If people didn't believe that the money in their pockets will hold their value, they will simply spend all of it as fast as possible, which leads to... inflation.

This is why I asked about your age in the other thread. You never lived in hyperinflation, so you simply can not fathom what it was like.
Some might say that the true sense of beauty and wonder cones from doing how similar those two opposite ends of the spectrum actually can be
This is my Bible.
I don't know much about UK politics, but it is good to see Animal rights being taken more seriously. But I am uncomfortable with the usage of the word sentient here since the word implies a lot more than stopping mistreatment which seems to be the actual intent here.

Taken to its logical conclusion, "Animals to be formally recognised as sentient beings" should outlaw their slaughter for food or other products and much more essentially including whatever rights humans have.

I personally feel words with strong meaning are thrown around too carelessly these days (maybe longer but I wasn't alive then) weakening their meaning and making it more difficult to capture nuance or clarity in conversation or writing.
Natural selection. At a young age, some people know how to control their feelings, others don't. The ones who can't then die from road rage or similar, leaving only the ones with at least a modicum of self control in the older age groups.

Basically, it's survivor bias, but literally.
We’re really lucky that there’s a few talented hackers kicking around that can also share their insights clearly like this.

That was an epic read. I loved that. So much knowledge, so much experience brought to bear on the problem.

Yes. An easy observation to make when the highly rational and logical person in the room gets angry. Particularly when they're angered by others non-rationality. As if being angry is a rational response or a useful one.
While my inner webdev agrees with you, my interpretation of the mmm.page philosophy is that planning "breakpoints" etc takes too much thought, and hence runs against the "mindless" aspect.

"Mindlessly responsive" -> When the content is outside the demarcated safe zone, it's not visible on little screens. Simple ruleset, no brain required. If I just want to get some fun content on a webpage, I either paint in the lines or intentionally paint beyond them.
Dropbox has never offered E2EE as far I’m aware. I specifically call this out in the Wormhole about page: https://wormhole.app/about

The ransomware criminals will sometimes plant the code and let it sit idle, so you want to have a backup that predates that event.
I think it is survivorship bias, those who couldn't control their feelings were more likely self-destruct through a variety of direct and indirect mechanisms.
And this is exactly what I fear will happen if UBI comes about. Although we also can’t let people starve - I don’t have a solution :(
One very important skill as a developer, doesn't matter if Frontend or Backend, is to be able to find solutions when you run into problems or hickups.

Nobody can cover all those things, since they are very much individual problems. You can usually find other people that ran into the same or a similar problem by using search engines or something like stack overflow.

An experienced developer will be able to guess what the problem might be and attempt several things to fix it.
This knowledge is not really teachable by following a course or youtube video.

There is a home manager for Guix:

https://git.sr.ht/~abcdw/rde

It will likely be included in the next version of Guix. Note that declarative environments are already well-supported with "manifests" (I have a lot of them).

It's curious that you list "strong focus on freedom" as a con. I love that I can exercise my "four freedoms" on any package in Guix, and be certain that there are no binary or proprietary bits. There are several third party channels covering non-free software needs.
Seems like the US government could force the Bitcoin devs to lock down any transactions to and from the illicit addresses with a code change to the client. If they don't comply, make crypto illegal and topple the mining rigs.

Those big Sun servers that are about the size of a small refrigerator and styled like a 90's Star Trek prop are probably Sun e450s. Fun fact: I am in the process of decommissioning a bunch of them from production use right now.
Under the law, all federal agencies are required to respond to a FOIA request within 20 business days, unless there are "unusual circumstances".

Under the FOIA, the 20-day response time can be extended when "unusual circumstances" exist.

When an extension of time beyond 10 additional days is needed, you get notified in writing and assigned a "FOIA public liaison" to either modify the scope of your request or to modify the timeline.

After that, I don't see any specific timelines, which means it could go cold.
I don't. I'd rather trust the tens of thousands of developers working on the core language and core stdlib, than on a dependency some random guy in Albania maintains on his spare time.

Or in the case of the JS ecosystem, you might only use established dependencies, which in turn use dozens more which in turn use dozens more, and the probability that there's a dependency some random guy in Albania maintains very quickly approaches 100%.

Have we already forgotten left-pad?

Thanks. It does allow editing the cell data before file is submitted.

The app validates the spreadsheet data against the data model rules configured by the developer and shows the errors to the users. The users can edit the data in the widget itself to resolve the validation errors before submitting the file. This ensures that the submitted data is clean and ready-to-use.
Personally I just don't give a shit. I still get upset the same way as I did decades ago, but it's just not worth my time and energy to get all up in arms about most things that are upsetting to me.

On most things I either know nothing I will do or say will make a positive impact, or I know the issue will take care of itself or someone else is taking care of it, just not right at this very moment. So why bother. I have better things to do with my life. Like lie down on my couch and binge watch Golden Girls.

I make an exception on things endangering the well being of my wife and kids.

Hunters specifically feed deer throughout the winter and then shoot them later on (my grandfather was very much into hunting). The whole “overpopulation” thing is a bad faith argument and doesn’t make logical sense either; there’s no way a native species wouldn’t find a healthy balance if left alone
> How would working remotely make your contribution more valuable and more flexible to your team and your org?

You're suggesting negotiating with a hard sell, but the benefit should already be obvious to a good employer: your employee is asking for this, because they deeply want it, and it's essentially no problem to give it to them. Making the effort to ask is already a hard sell.

An employer saying 'no' thinks they have the power in this situation, and is choosing to express that power over an issue which primarily affects their employee's happiness.

Hard sell or not, it's time to quit.
What language are you most familiar with, and what language is currently being used for the "configurable script"?
Yeah, hell no. I don't need news worming its way into a core part of the system UI that's used hundreds of times a day.
That isn’t how any of that works. That’s the beauty of decentralization.
Originally it referred to the exploit code for a vulnerability, and not the vulnerability itself.

Back in the 1990s information flowed (relatively) slower via Usenet, mailing lists, and IRC (weblogs came later), and so when a software update or patch was released, there was a race between the announcement day and the day the an exploit was announced. For sysadmins it was a sprint to get things patched as quickly as possible.

As the time got shorter and shorter, IT organizations were trying to develop more nimble methods of testing and deploying updates.

At some point the term "zero-day" started to apply to the vulnerability instead of the exploit code.

Of course there were often exploits floating around for unpatched vulnerabilities as well.
Shared secret authentication is pretty much always a bad idea. I'm continually shocked people still use it.

> have you never eaten crab or lobster? What did you imagine you were eating then, if not muscle? Why assume other arthropods would not be constructed in a fashion generally similar to those?

While you are ultimately right, it should be noted that the arthropods are a huge category of animals, and humans are much closer to fish (taxonomically) than insects are to crabs. In fact, insects and crabs are as close as we are to Tunicates [0]: the same phylum, Chordata for us or Arthropoda for them, but different Subphylums (Vertebrata vs Tunicata for us, Insecta vs Crustacea for them).

However, essentially all animals have muscles, from the simplest worms up. Sponges and a few other extremely simplistic animals do lack these, but they are minority exceptions.

Nice! So a next gen game could be made with a simple renderer, painting areas of the screen with a tag saying "grass" or "window", and a neural network trained on high quality renders in the desired style (not necessarily photorealistic). The same technique would probably work for character animation as well.
Why are you arguing with that rock?

Well, we can't dismiss it's arguments purely based on its appearance, we must assume each rock to have agency and a valid point of view.

In an ideal world using whatever ticketing system your company uses would be great, but I find in practice a significant amount of the work I do is untracked - attending/scheduling meetings, catching up with X about Y, etc. In theory all work should be trackable, but I find it doesn't make sense to keep these smaller, "personal" tasks logged company-wide.

RE: keeping the DONE list, for me it's not about knowing exactly what I did at 11am on date XX/YY, but it's more about proving both to myself and the company (if asked) what I've provided/achieved, and to hopefully be able to better understand my rate of work (this one is still a WIP - I haven't done any analysis yet and doubt I ever will, but it's nice to know I could!)
Your question is who would you hire... which is invalid unless you are handing out timed coding assignments as part of your hiring process. That would be absurd and a huge red flag for a candidate in my opinion.

As a manager observing people's work, people work at different paces and come up with different solutions. No two employees are the same. As long as someone is progressing their skills and getting work done in a quality manner, it doesn't really matter if someone is faster than someone else.

In my opinion, someone that thinks they are better because they are faster also has a higher possibility to have an attitude problem on the team which is a bigger issue.
Using "IoT" as a verb is an interesting and horrible development.
I wouldn't call this abuse either but there is a huge huge gulf between "that was the best time of my life" and "this is the best time of your life.

It's at best just extremely rude to tell someone about their own life and how they should feel about it.
Thank you for asking. It seems like everyone is assuming I meant I don't want to live among people of a certain complexion, nationality, economic status or perhaps some other criteria like that.

The people I don't want to live among are the kind that have a lot of money and not a lot of problems.

I get along better with street pharmacists than I do with doctors and lawyers.
That's preposterous! I'm sticking to my "fucks are finite and biologically limited" theory. I'll use the TED talk to promote my upcoming self-help book around this mind-blowing new theory.
The book is not juridically or economically naive. Externalities are considered.

The book is also not about moral philosophy and a priori concepts of property and freedom. Friedman is utilitarian, trying to figure the "machinery", like right property institutions and laws for difficult things like pricing carbon exhausts.
Recently I got my first Sun SPARC workstation which paid for itself as I use it for maintaining 25 years old C++ Solaris 8 software for a customer. It is slower than the server machine but with maximum RAM it can run the full application and is very useful for quicker debugging.

I also put an SSD on it but it did not improve the compile times: the full source code fits comfortably in RAM.

With an XVR-500 I got from someone in Italy it even runs OpenGL applications nicely. I would have loved to have such a machine at the time when they were current, and although it takes room in my small apartment it does spark joy every day.

> Put like that, it sounds reasonable to me if fines start at a low level (regardless of the public's opinion of the offender).

The real reason fines are never crippling is because they would not be paid, there would be endless back and forth in courts for what could be decades, with the authorities always being less prepared and less funded for such a battle. So they take what they can get away with. Then there's the aspect of giving a large fine and hitting vital interests of a major company from another country... You're inviting some form of nation level retaliation sooner or later.

All the calculated proceeds resulting from an illegal activity should be clawed back if this is to ever solve anything. Keep in mind that we're not talking about actions that are suddenly declared illegal, we're talking about actions that were illegal all along and the company was officially found guilty of that. Not guaranteeing an overall loss for the company if they're caught means the worst that can happen is they lose some of the profit. This is literally just "the cost of doing business" and proliferates.

>Consider using a gender neutral title like Mx – or earn yourself a doctorate.

Haha, yeah, I think if they'd go as far to assume all women there (or all women past 30) have kids it would be pretty easy to assume any Doctor is a man.

Also slight nitpick of the title: if(gender == "female" && married && age >= 30) would work just as well. But the use of strings for the gender field is excellent practice! Not only for non-binary gender(s) but also for "unknown" and any other edge cases.
