Why not a mandate to wear 2 masks? Or a mandate that you should wear surgical gloves everywhere (non latex for the allergic of course)? Don’t you realize how many lives could be saved with these minor inconveniences? What’s the harm?

Why not a mandate to require wearing a jacket out in the winter? Not only could you injure yourself, but you put others at risk if they have drive through the harsh conditions to save you if frostbite gets you - and most wear their jacket out anyways when it’s so cold, so what’s the harm?

While we’re at it: perhaps we make owning too much alcohol illegal. Getting too drunk is widely considered best to avoid (it sucks to throw up!), so no harm done, and you wouldn’t be able to harm yourself or others with dangerous intoxication levels. No harm done right?

How about we just mandate washing hands after the bathroom - it’s pretty gross and think of all the sickness it causes, and there’s really no inconvenience with the sick right there and all. Where’s the harm?

These all lie on a spectrum. Why not ban cars? Why not require toothbrushing? Why not requiring people to take the vaccine (if it’s safe for their situation)? Why not require saying hello to people you pass on the right side of the sidewalk? Why not mandate snapping your fingers and doing jazz hands to get others attention when someone is about to step in gum? Why not mandate wearing your shirt inside out each Wednesday in order to slightly prolong the life of your clothing and thereby save planetary resources for future generations?

Just because something isn’t that inconvenient (by your standards nonetheless) doesn’t justify the state mandating it and implicitly enforcing it with the threat of imprisonment.

Should you go to jail for not wearing a mask for flu season? That’s why it shouldn’t be a mandate: because the state has not right to coerce people with the threat of violence for innane actions no matter how harmless the act may be.

If you don’t wear a mask for flu season (or any other regular disease we vaccinate against and is part of regular life), does the govt fine you? And if you don’t pay that fine presumably they take you to jail?

Should people go to jail for not wearing a mask for the flu? If not, then there shouldn’t be a mask mandate for it - even if you think there’s no harm.
If that argument was going to be meaningful in court, it would have applied just as well to EnCase. Never did, though.
Eventually your docs will be updated and noone will be around to update the included diagrams. And when the users (the developers!) notice the discrepancy, trust will decrease.
Yes they do, that's the entire reason to use Babel. If there's any part of the stack where you have to go to great pains to be compatible with a wide range of completely different environments, it's the frontend. It's the dev environment that churns a lot, partly for that reason.
> No, intentionally spoiling evidence — or “spoliating,” to use the legal term — is definitely not legal.

> If they’re saying what they’re hinting they’re saying, Signal basically announced that they plan to update their app to hack law enforcement computers and also tamper with and spoliate evidence in criminal cases.

If you set up an anti-hack tool on your phone, you have no way to know if it's going to be the police hacking it.
Liquid breathing has never been successfully tested in humans, or any large animal. It doesn't scale up well from small animals. The work of breathing is too high. It might be feasible at some point with external mechanical ventilation.
It bothers me that the removed formulae were popular according to Homebrew's opt-out analytics[1] and yet the PR to deprecate them was merged in a single day without user discussion[2]. Among those removed are ntfs-3g, sshfs, ext4fuse, and encfs.

Yup I totally agree with you,

> if Signal downloaded Cellebrite-pwning shellcode to its app

The transmission in this legal context is the other way imo. Cellebrite's device is transmitting Signal data out, and Signal is not intentionally sending data to these devices.

This seems immensely reasonable, but if this post is to be believed, our legal system values protecting intel gathering tools more than an individuals expectation of privacy. Depressing but not surprising.

I can confirm that this is an extremely challenging time to do a hardware startup. In addition to the supply and freight shortages that are deadly to startups stuck at the back of the line:

1. Travel restrictions make it extremely challenging to evaluate suppliers, do joint development, and bring up manufacturing.

2. A bunch of recent high profile failures have caused VCs to cool on the space.

3. Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft are all hiring armies of hardware people, making the job market more competitive than it once was.

All that said:

1. There’s still no shortage of interesting and worthwhile problems to solve with hardware.

2. Like web companies that survived the dot com bubble bursting, the hardware companies that make it through 2020 and 2021 are going to have been strengthened by it.

It's not specifically a React thing, but JavaScript enables it. Lazy-loading content is a good idea if you're building dynamic web _applications_, as common components (buttons, modals, etc.) don't need to be reloaded over and over. However, with mostly static content like a blog, it's generally not a great idea.

This is a good resource that will walk you through the cutting edge web development technologies, starting from the very basics and progressing to the more complex matters in the end. Highly recommended.
The fact that Signal got their hands on a copy of the Cellebrite product makes “let them prove otherwise” disclaimer a moot point ;)
Please do not confuse strong/weak typing with dynamic/static typing. Many dynamically typed languages are also weakly typed, but some dynamic langugages, like Python, are strongly typed.
You can't, since the file can be deleted from under you after verification anyway. But you can treat it as an "S3FileReference" or something arbitrarily generic like "RemoteFile" and have associated procedures/methods for verifying the properties you want at any point without confusing it with "just a string"

They're literally responding to:

C# would be a better choice. In addition to top-level statements, the standard API seems much less "dogmatically" OOP. Reading a file is just one static method away. Unfortunately, it's still not possible to have top-level functions, right?

Machine learning has probably closed most of the gap in pattern matching the scene but humans are still magnitudes better at predicting intentions and communicating instantly with the other drivers with little more than a glance.

This is why chaotic traffic situations without lane markings or signals can still move fluidly without crashes. Autonomous vehicles would be at a standstill in that situation.
Looks to me like, because many of the cones were on the left side of the line, it thought the left lane was closed.
Personally I think "programming" RTL is dead simple. It's so simple, in fact, that it's not even interesting. But I've been doing it forever so my perspective is skewed.
The Birth & Death of JavaScript

The thing is, what if you leveraged the "cloud" of people, to build a p2p instagram cache/clone perhaps on IPFS or some other p2p store or mesh, where the seeders are people with IG accounts who are logged in, and that living network of people then can feed out data to overyone else logging in to the "rebel front-end". That would be cool. It seems that kind of thing would be unshut-downable and with enough seeders, unstoppable and complete.

Sadly this is true, although the open source tools are gaining ground pretty quickly from what I understand. https://symbiflow.github.io/getting-started.html

It caused other drivers to make illegal moves to get around, this just isn't true.
What does the future hold for Windows if it isn't Windows 10x?
All good things start small and evolve. The C programming language was created over the weekend if I am not mistaken and look how much it stuck for better or worse. JavaScript was also accidental. There was a time you could program web sites in VisualBasic, ActiveX, Java, Silverlight and Flash. They are now all gone. There is no denying that the JavaScript language is resilient. It stuck for better or worse.

Developers can choose to program in whichever language they want but only JavaScript is officially supported on the browser. Any other language will require a transpiler or compiler (when it comes to WASM). Similarly you can program iOS and Android apps in whichever language you like but only Objective-C/Swift and Java are officially supported. All other languages you need to support yourself. The official spoken language in UK is English whether you like it or not. You are free to speak any other language you want but social frameworks and civil services evolve around a single language.

If developers are so smart how come we cannot understand these basic principles?

> I don’t know why more websites don’t do this. Even having one large CSS file with everything compressed is much much faster then the waterfall of more files/connections.

I could make a similar argument to say not to use CSS files, just embed everything into the page.

Unless you have a ton of files, listing them all in the html will make them load just about as fast as a single file listed in the html.
There are cones and a sign blocking the entrance to that lane before the turn: https://i.imgur.com/8ViGpLP.png

You would not be able to drive into that lane without hitting cones straight-on until after the stall point.
> many people don't understand any better why or how React is good and when it's bad to use...

Your comment was very insightful, but I feel like you've left me on a cliffhanger. I'm someone who got into the industry right when React was reaching enterprise levels, so I missed out on what came before it. I got my job, was told to learn React, and have gone from there.

Is there any way you might be able to expand on the problems you were solving with your declarative approach, why it was useful, and how you think React should be used in modern day web development?

I judge by our general inability to explain most of our intuitive decisions (intuition is basically trained pattern recognition neural network without reflection, much like artificial ML).

A great sports player often makes a lousy coach. They often can't articulate how they play, how they move, and how they think, except in the broadest strokes.

All our formal/reflective models are evolved entirely independently of our intuition. They're supported by our intuition (release ball, ball drops, gravity) as a heuristic, but not explained by it. They're independent in terms of logical frame.

I suspect a similar thing will occur in ML. We'll have our black box ML that produces great results which we can't explain. And we'll have other NN models that arrive at reflective models, which however are far less insightful on their own (at least per watt consumed, let's say).

The trouble is that we expect to sit down and debug a series of equations in a NN and come up with a "factual nugget" or a few, that explains what happened. Actually correlation often doesn't work this way. You just correlate dozens of mundane factors that vary by one degree between outcomes, and you happen to be able to produce a solid result from that.

Expecting specific models in a NN is a bit like inspecting a dog photo on your phone under a magnifying glass, expecting to learn more about the dog. Instead you cease seeing a dog, and start seeing arbitrary colored pixels.
You'll want to read on "parser combinator" as a concept.

A parser combinator library can provide a good repertoire of primitives, standard interfaces for defining and using the parsers, and utilities for working with those interfaces.

User-friendly error reporting comes to mind.
"not real"? Do you have any data to back this up?

I'd be very curious if this conework was even legal

It doesn't matter if it's legal. It is not code compliant. Neither is "double parking". But it happens beyond the control of mere mortal drivers, and it must be maneuvered through safely when it happens. It's like kids dashing into the street -- it's not legal, yet you aren't empowered to simply hit them if it can be avoided.

Here in California, it happens all the time. There was a half block of EL Camino Real in Sunnyvale this afternoon that was simply coned off with no signage and no warning by construction people working on a new building. I called it in to Sunnyvale DPS, and they were totally unaware of it. There were two near-collisions in the 45 seconds I was within view. You have day laborers with no clue about traffic safety and ignorant of context given hand signs and no instructions, let alone legal standards.

Even if you place cones and signage perfectly per code, you still have to deal with signs or cones being knocked out of position or out of view.
Oh that’s interesting. I’ve only ever known about GWT as a view renderer.
Yep, that's what I meant. They either use ASCII, UCS2 or UCS4 depending on the type of string. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but I guess they couldn't just throw 16 bit chars away.

I've seen a trend from those languages and APIs of hiding UTF-16 away. They have to interoperate with everything else using just UTF8, while the rest of the world doesn't give a half damn about UTF-16 (the fact you have to also take endianess into account I think was one of the biggest crippling blows 16 bit encoding had ever received)
> BSD has no real use case except as a way to subsidize giant megacorp development with volunteer work. Linux, for all its warts, is superior to BSD in nearly every way that matters to application developers and to companies who need a server OS.

FreeBSD has ZFS in-tree as part of the base system with zero kludges (DKMS, I'm looking at you) and perfect compatibility supported directly by the core devs, as opposed to having to deal with a semi-hostile upstream (KH: "my tolerance for ZFS is pretty non-existent", Torvalds: "If somebody adds a kernel module like ZFS, they are on their own. I can't maintain it, and I can not be bound by other people's kernel changes."), and it's the default filesystem out of the box for several releases now with good tooling support around it. ZFS can be hacked into a Linux distro, but it'll always be inferior.
For me, it would be an unbearable clause. But the real question is: How is this even enforced? It looks like as a clause to justify the company for randomly invading the employee personal life.
So... gay men are descendants of gay men who were raped by fertile women?

Edit: of course not. I'm just pointing out the conclusion coming out of this:

>Men who only sought sex with other men [...] have no descendants (unless a fertile woman raped them at some point [...]). So their genes died out
It is about solving a problem, not a race about who want to do it. Wealth inequality is the problem. Even uneven distribution of loan/debt is a problem.
This is fantastic. I was just complaining today about how obnoxious not having an Instagram is. That is trying to view an Instagram profile without having one yourself.

Either you can only scroll so far down the profile page and be prompted to sign in, or you can't even view the profile without signing in. It's such cancer. But this is the exact solution I was looking for!
At least in my own specific case, I have neurological damage that has swiss-cheesed my memory. I get that not everyone needs nor wants smart tools, but I prefer to have at least a moderate safety net.

The fact that there's such a wide range of options doesn't hurt. I'm currently using Logseq for note-taking (yeah, I actually had to look up the name. That's how bad my memory is) and it's been a considerable help there. VSCode, well, I use it with custom task setups that script as much of the manual work that I'd be likely to slip up on as possible.

Not everyone needs that sort of thing. I didn't 20 years ago.

So, yeah, I agree with what you're saying-- different tools for different needs.
When drivers screw up, they face expensive consequences, so they have a substantial incentive to not screw up, at least.

Why do you think traffic lights are better? I like not having to wait on a red for an empty street or have to stop for stop signs at intersections. They are better and safer in every way and stats back that up (not to mention better for the environment and your car maintenance bills)

Public service, in Canada :)

AFAIK every department follows this structure for performance[1], so that's about 200k employees.

The promotion system is a bit special for my department, since it's tailored for software engineers (about 40% of the department). The rest of the public service has a more competitive system, more similar to the private sector.

I always find builtin fonts difficult to pair when you want to use monospace for code. If you take Times New Roman and Courier New for example, Courier New is quite larger visually, so you would need to use a smaller point size for it. But how to do that when you need to handle fallbacks? On my blog, I am pairing Merriweather with a custom version of Iosevka to match x-height and ascendant height. I think this is less disturbing when reading.

Siri’s voice translation works in your phone but the answers it needs are all calculated from the server (on the whole). Maps, for example, are all stored server side and route calculation are server side processes as well, as are the locations of restaurants.

There’s a difference been decoding voice requests and being able to answer any questions you may have; you wouldn’t expect Google web search or Wikipedia to work in offline mode, so why do you expect it to work for Siri?
