The re-entrancy complaint seems legit if actually well founded, although I'd think that it probably says somewhere in Flex/bison docs that the generated parsers expect only to be entered from a single C process. It sounds to me like they were using Flex/Bison generated parsers inside of some huge messy corporate web codebase, probably for webscraping or some kind of semi-structured data cleaning, and the code clammed up in some way.

There are multiple such systems. Whatever Google's CSS/JS minifier tool is called does just this.

I spent a few years heavily re-styling Google+, when it was active. The CSS entity names (classes most especially, IDs not so much) were just random-alphabetic gibberish, which, worse, changed between site iterations. The large-scale abandonment of major changes to the site was a net positive for my case, as my rules no longer needed changing & updating.

I had many hundreds of site-specific CSS edits (most only a few lines) to deal with annoyances. G+ was the largest of those (100s+ lines). As a positive, I learned CSS reasonably well in the process.

These days I make heavier use of a few stock "annoyances" styles (headers, nesletters, social media, etc.), and only customise a site if it fails to be addressed by one of those.

Also Firefox / Fennec Fox's "Reader Mode" is usually (though not always) pretty useful.

This is actually the first time I've even heard of ANTLR, which came about in the early 90's. But yacc/lex/vi/emacs, et al have been around since the 70's. The emacs vs. vi holy war was pretty much instant, but doomed every time one spoke of headless devices such as routers.
No, I'm not walking into this with zero knowledge - I'm familiar with some of his (old) papers and know that he's been working on Racket/PLT Scheme for quite a long time, though my knowledge of Racket is mostly limited to some gradual typing/DSL papers and I'm not aware of what the dynamics of the Racket organization or community are.

And yes, he won't lose his job or end up destitute, but I find the insinuation that this means "he will be fine no matter" quite strange. If it prevents him from continuing his current research work (I don't know whether that's the case), I'd very much count that as impacting him personally.
>The point is that the Constitution is largely meaningless, feel-good fluffery that has no actual bearing on which of our so-called rights are actually available to us.

IANAL but this sounds fundamentally wrong in every way I interpret it. The Constitution is a set of laws that cannot be contradicted by any other law, executive action, or judicial action, with the exception of an amendment.
What's wrong with the powershell syntax? The long names? Those are optional. I find the idea of short names (for interactive) AND the option of long names very good. Many of these aliases are similar to unix commands (e.g. "cat" instead of Get-Content or "ls" instead of Get-Childitem).
Views are equivalent to "query templates" unless for example they do operations on subquery aggregate columns (for example group by sum().)

So views don't add complexity relative to giving the query explicitly. It might even help since the incoming queries can be smaller, thus less parsing/processing.
> Illegible things are less discreet.

Illegible things are less discrete, but probably more "discreet", on average.

> And that life keeps getting shorter and shorter – four to seven weeks, to be exact. In the 1950s, a broiler chicken lived a full 16 weeks. The faster and heavier method that won the contest was amplified by confinement, and while the chickens come out of those cages fatter, they tend to get sicker, too. They have insatiable appetites, which leaves them stressed, as evidenced in their poor reproduction capabilities, cardiovascular failure and skeletal problems. They’ve been pumped with so many antibiotics, they’ve developed resistances. The chickens’ weak legs and overworked hearts strain every week their lives are extended.

Chickens are meant to be able to live to around 10 years old as well which makes this even worse to me. There's nothing humane or natural about it. I think consumers need to take more personal responsibility in what kind of practices their wallets are supporting.
This is a good example, although I would be careful about characterizing the entire Japanese military as fanatics. (To his great credit, Carlin is also careful in this regard, and discusses the issue at some length.)

The average Japanese soldier was certainly perceived as a fanatic—due a combination of the evidence at hand at the time, deliberate Japanese policy and propaganda, and also a lot of rather nasty racial narratives—which had a lot to do with why total war was seen as unavoidable.
Humans don't seem to be very good at managing risks. From an evolutionary perspective, we can only look at what others are doing and follow along. Breaking it out in terms of percentage weights doesn't give us a feel for practical steps to take.
> armour underneath a tank is usually much lighter, because it's difficult to hit. Missiles have to do fancy armour-penetration stuff to get through the main armour on a tank. If you can get a shaped charge stuck to the underside of a tank, you don't need to do the fancy stuff.

I'm not even sure if the air-pressures under a tank would allow a drone to fly under there. Let alone the myriad of anti-air defenses a modern tank has.

The M1A1 Abrams tank has not only the main cannon, but also a .50 Caliber M2 Browning and two M240 machine guns. In addition, there's a general expectation that a tank would be surrounded by supporting troops and equipment (and vice versa: the tank supports the troops, as per the theory of Combined Arms)

So a tank, facing a swarm of drones, probably can just fire its two machine guns and take them out. Its not like drones have any armor of any kind. Similarly, anti-personnel rifles from the supporting infantry would probably be effective against those drones.

Once we start considering weapons like air-burst grenades, I'm finding it less-and-less likely that a "10,000 Swarm" makes any sense what-so-ever. The __reason__ we mix tanks-with-infantry is because a singular weapon (ex: air-burst grenade) works only on infantry (tank armor is too thick), while a Tandem-shaped charge RPG only really works on tanks (Personnel are relatively cheap and move in groups. If you kill one, the rest of their buddies gang up and kill you).

------------

Any scenario where you're just lobbing uniformly made drones into the same area just opens them up to air-burst or machine gun fire.

-----------

EDIT: I had a lot of unnecessary words. Lets just point this out... I'm not sure if you understand how good machine guns are today.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalanx_CIWS

We have machine guns that can autonomously aim and shoot-down a group of missiles that travel at 1500 mph (Mach 2). And you think a swarm of 10,000 drones flying at lol 100 mph has a chance?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IB8d3OaFEco

Depending on the armament: you could have up to 9000 "pellets" per shot that airburst at the expected distance to maximize the chance of hitting the target.

If a missile flying at 1500mph has no chance, why do you think a drone at 100 chance or 200 mph has a chance?

> flex uses a BSD license, while Bison uses the GPL. Bison waive the license for most generated parsers, but it can be a problem

Now, this is one of the most atrocious handwavy kind of FUD that I've had a displeasure to see. If the parsers generated by bison are GPL-free, where is the problem? Can you even name the problem? Or you just see the word "GPL" and it's scaring you somehow?
Signal only implements a very weak form of trust-on-first-use for keys. So there is no authentication and no security for a first contact. Subsequent communication can be protected by meeting in person and comparing keys, which nobody knows about. Signal doesn't ever tell you about this necessity and doesn't have any option to e.g. pin the key after manual verification or even just set a "verified contact" reminder.

Being warned about a changed key is only sensible at all if the one before that was verified. Otherwise, how do you know everything wasn't MitMed in the first place? Also, most users ignore the warning if the next message is "sorry, new phone, Signal doesn't do key backups". Which everyone will understand and go along with because they either don't know about the danger there. Or because they know Signal really doesn't do shit to provide authentication continuity through proper backups.

Signal is only suitable for casual communication. Against adversaries that do more than just passive dragnet surveilance, Signal is either useless or even dangerous to recommend. It is intentionally designed just for this one attack of passive dragnet surveilance, nothing else. Please don't endanger people by recommending unsuitable software.

But what happens when schema Xn adds a column N, and schema Xn+1 removes it? The base schema, the source for all the views will contain all the columns Xn... from all the migrations until purged.

That purging is what has a lot of operational complexity. And renaming a column. All the rest is zero-downtime in PG already.
Consider any server side query system. Parsing those queries in only one thread can be prohibitive.
That's not completely true, the information is just harder to find and more complex to make popular.

For example, bad fats still play an important role in clogged arteries, but it's more nuanced then that. There are many kinds of fat, and there are other variables in causing fats to clog arteries, such as sugar.

Well, so yes, it does seem that avoiding refined sugar and trans fat and not overdosing on calories, and keeping highly active in terms of exercise, and not being in the same position for too long, and avoiding foods that inflame you (which seems to be very personal), and making sure you get a varied diet of nutrients, is all we know.

I just don't know if that should be framed as a failure. Could just be that it's a hard problem, could be that there are no real pattern to learn about as well. The latter is interesting, because we start our nutrition quest believing nutrition can affect health to a great deal, but that could just as well be false, nutrition could be a very small factor on health.

I think the problem is just the tendency we all have for snake oil, shortcuts and easy way outs. That is where I think this impression of "failing" comes from. That we didn't find something easy to do and that works very well. In that sense, science is characterized by lots of failures.

"Dead people voting is a problem" That's not voting. That's absolute fraud. There's no nuance or gray area. There's no "some dead people should be allowed to vote but others shouldn't" use case.

Compare to "requiring ID will eliminate fraud": No. It eliminates some types of fraud, some of the time. It doesn't fix someone hacking a system and changing votes. It doesn't prevent someone creating fake IDs to vote. It also disenfranchises people who are unable or unwilling to get government ID in time to present it at the polls.

Yeah. My operating assumption was that the 0% rate was an emergency maneuver by the Fed to increase liquidity at the very beginning of COVID, but it's not clear when (if at all) they plan on returning to a nonzero reserve rate.

OTOH, the Fed has other mechanisms for encouraging bank reserves -- I believe they still pay interest on any excess reserves that banks hold at the end of each day. That rate (the "IOER rate") is (still) significantly higher[1] than the federal funds rate[2], so banks can essentially collect free money by keeping any reserves at all.

> The issue is the harm being described in apocalyptic terms by the astro community is not being weighed properly against the benefits to

1) humanity

2) astronomy in longer run.

The same could be said of Starlink by astronomers. Or regulators. Just because Starlink is doing something noble does not make them above the law. There are firms developing advanced cancer treatments; that does not mean they can perform human trials at will.

> I'm not an astronomer, but I am a photographer. The fact that astronomers shoot these ridiculous shots showing insane streaks across their photos makes no sense. I could eliminate those trivially with a multi-exposure process for the types of photos being shown. I get the some things with ultra long integration times may not be able to take that approach, but again, the apparent helplessness of astronomers to manage even basic steps is revealing.

Your attitude is very dismissive. Astronomy is one of the oldest and most significant fields in science. When you look at a subject as topically as you are, of course nothing makes sense. I know how to drive a car. Does that make me qualified to fly an airplane, too? You claim to respect subject matter experts yet you are quick to question astronomers as experts of their field.

> And then - why not consider what could be gained by looking at things in a new way from space? The physics is almost always better up there for looking at other stars and space.

Again, I am, not an astronomer, but casual thought reveals a few potential reasons. 1) tracking fast moving objects with a spacecraft is extremely difficult. 2) cost 3) reliability 4) communication contention (many missions use leased satellite time for communications), ect.

The interesting part is you are very mindful when it comes to how SpaceX should behave, but very dismissive about anything else.

> "the Racket community" is more-or-less analogous with "Matthias' academic descendants."

For people who don't know, the Racket project was started by Matthias Felleisen in the early '90s. The next people on the project were all his PhD students:

- Matthew Flatt

- Robby Findler

- Shriram Krishnamurthi

- Cormac Flanagan

Later additions who are top contributors to github.com/racket/racket:

- Sam Tobin-Hochstadt (Felleisen's student)

- Jay McCarthy (Krishnamurthi's student)

- Vincent St-Amour (Felleisen's student)

- Ryan Culpepper (Felleisen's student)

- Asumu Takikawa (Felleisen's student)

- Eric Dobson (Krishnamurthi's undergraduate student)

In the top 10 contributors listed on GitHub, only 2 are not academic descendants of Felleisen:

- Eli Barzilay

- Matthias Felleisen

EDIT: I originally listed Eric Dobson as "not an academic descendant of Felleisen" because I hadn't been able to find information on a dissertation or the like, but a comment informed me that they were an undergraduate student of Krishnamurthi so I have updated the comment to reflect this.
