> I'm surprised this is written in Rust and doesn't use the object crate--did the author do this in part to learn how elf works?

No. When I started the project I was expecting to just read data into the ELF structs, in style of C. (Un)fortunately, it's not possible to do safely, so I started looking into crates to do that, and was stumbling upon data deserialization ones. In particular, the first attempt was in nom. In hindsight, that wasn't particularly smart, and specific object-file-parsing ones would be better. I don't regret implementing reading manually, despite it looking pretty ugly, because attending to NIH syndrome is fun.

I don't understand why these companies continuously try to return an older way of doing consumer computing. Even if they manage to get a foothold, the old way we do write applications is very insecure for devices that we use for two-factor authentication for many things including bank accounts.

As if the AOSP is closed source, they are trying to write these "open-source" operating systems. The reality is the Linux desktop software stack is really broken and extremely challenging for creating a platform out of. The way of "trust software it will never do harm" mentality in desktop computing is also archaic and insecure. There is no way to make Linux desktop stack secure without writing everything above the kernel from scratch as Android did. Some modifications even in kernel is needed.

The Linux software ecosystem is also broken. There is no way to release software that works in every distribution (don't tell me about Flatpak it is a distribution of its own, you don't install containerized Android or iOS on your phone, just to run applications). So the first step should be unionizing the Linux infrastructure.

They also refuse the actual improvements in the Linux ecosystem. systemd is probably the best thing that has been released in the last decade. It has many benefits for actual consumer use cases where the dynamic nature of various services and hardware most prominent and where systemd can actually help power saving. One of the most prominent projects, PostmarketOS, doesn't even use systemd.

They have claims about privacy but they still cling to the old non-isolating operating systems. They don't use already existing and open source AOSP infrastructure. I really don't think they have an actual use case outside extreme Linux enthusiasts, and I cannot take them seriously when they talk about privacy. You have no privacy if your insurance app has access to your browser history.

We don't allow 15 year olds to sell alcohol, why would we allow them to sell sex? I'm sure one doesn't have to stretch far to find other examples of professions we don't generally let 15 year olds engage in - you don't seriously think a 15 year old cop with a gun is okay, do you? Or a 15 year old soldier on the front lines? Are you okay with a 15 year old doing your next heart surgery?

This is clearly a situation that society knows how to handle via a fairly wide variety of methods and control systems.
Yes they should offend their students because history is offensive.

We should also teach about the Holocaust and read the uncensored version of huckleberry Finn, even though it may be offensive.

People (students) will be offended but they will learn how history has changed, be able to think for themselves, and not fall into ideological line. If this scares the left/right establishments that is a great thing.

> And you seem to like the data because it does.

I don't have a narrative. I look at the data and draw conclusions. You start with conclusions and try to morph the data to fit them. I'll even grant you that sexual crimes go underreported (heck, have 43% to bring up that number up), but even so, it wouldn't account for a "disproportionate" number of crime against trans people. It would barely equal the rate of the general population. You're seriously trying to argue that trans crimes are underreported by multiple factors? That's quite the claim.

I'm kind of torn on the alternative HDLs. The HDL code they generate is often not very readable. When you're simulating you're effectively debugging that generated code. Generate statements in VHDL/System Verilog can often cover some of the use cases. Mostly I find them useful for testbench generation - that seems to be where things like Cocotb really shine.
Keeping the business logic in a service (aka Anemic Model in Domain Driven Design terms) allows you to change the business logic using different versions of the same service. You can then inject the appropriate implementation for a given context using IoC (Inversion of Control).
Hi! Thanks for engaging with the comments.

I believe you've misunderstood the main point of my comment. I don't have too strong opinions about reshape vs newaxis.

The real point was about excessive inlining, which your update does not to fix. A fairer comparison regarding readability would be pulling out the matrix version of a into a named variable:

n = len(a)
A = a.reshape(n,1)
M = exp(1j * k * sqrt(A**2 + A.T**2))

I believe these are much much more readable.

When you need loops, you need loops, of course, and python tends to suck here (though with jax's functional programming constructs the boundary is shifting). But the readability/cleanliness comparison in your post is still an unfair comparison.

>but if a tiny minority of transpeople are a distant third

Here's the problem I have with this line of defense: it doesn't accommodate the reality of self-id and the likely downstream effects if it becomes the accepted norm. If all it takes for a male to be housed in a female prison is a checkmark on a form, we should expect that many cis-men will take advantage of the situation, thus creating a very real threat of abuse for women in women prisons. If I were being locked up for an extended period of time and all it took was a declaration to be housed in a female prison, I would do it. I would go from one of the smaller and weaker inmates to one of the biggest and strongest. It is a no-brainer in terms of my personal safety. And I have no interest in abusing anyone or taking advantage of forced-proximity. Imagine how many abusers would take advantage of that circumstance? An argument in defense of gender-affirmation in prison assignments that doesn't accommodate this likely reality isn't substantive.
Wow this is a really uncharitable interpretation of what happened.
Are you also in favor of enforcing that only cis women are allowed to be correctional officers at women's prisons, which is not currently the case?
Prison time for tax evasion is extremely rare in the US. Almost always the IRS just collects the penalty and moves on. The only real exceptions are either for criminals with a lot of other charges stacked up (eg mob bosses). Or a public figure making a political statement like Wesley Snipes.

Not saying this is good or bad. Just saying it’s how it is. Joe Sixpack who fails to report some cash income will almost certainly never see a jail cell.

The US and Eritrea.

I knew this was a thing, but I had always assumed a US citizen living abroad only ended up paying tax to the IRS if the tax they paid to the foreign government was less than what they would have paid to the US, and only the difference is paid.

But it seems that’s not the case, and you get an exemption for “only” the first $108,700 of your earnings.

As with everything the IRS does, it seems complex and full of exemptions, but I have read that (badically) correctly? You could end you being double taxed if you earn more than that?
Why couldn’t the photo just be replaced with another?
In Canada, the single payer healthcare system is Provincial, not Federal, and yet the income tax brackets at Canada's Federal level are roughly equal to those in the US (in fact are actually higher for some earners).

If we wanted to take Canada's cue, there's plenty of room to increase State tax rates even if we did nothing about Federal taxation. Or we could take Switzerland's cue and totally flip the distribution, where Cantonal taxes far exceed Federal income tax.

It's extremely confusing the way the repos work in Azure DevOps as compared to GitHub, the only way you can see which one you are working on is through the little tab on the top. Since this also controls what PRs show up, about once every day or two I'll click on "pull requests" and be super confused as to why there's no PRs present until I realize "oh! I was browsing the other repo earlier that's why." Especially when issues and everything else are not connected to repos in any way, this is a weird UX decision. At least put the name of the repo next to the pull requests button like in GitHub, so I see where I am before I click.

I am certain that there is no evidence that fits your standard, because short of "Study: Schools taken over by radicals" you would not accept it.

Those examples aren't really "the rich".

Business tax cuts benefit shareholders, and globally there has been a race to the bottom to pit locations against each other to try to drive profit margins. These things have largely affected manufacturing - manufacturing itself being marginalized in the greater business landscape as other more profitable industries have gained favor. Note that "the rich" are not all that intertwined in the minutiae of manufacturing.

Opposing health care reform is also a niche issue dominated by well-connected insurance companies. Many other industries would like nothing more than the government to take over health care costs and lower their own burden (including tech companies who end up paying exorbitant amounts to fund these benefits against other competitors). The health insurance companies (and related industries which benefit from price gouging in the health care industry) are entrenched in lobbying and congress and have the clout to block these efforts. Insurance companies aren't "the rich" they are simply well connected with government.

Much of the talk about "the rich" trying to "destroy the middle class" really come down to two large buckets:

* Company shareholders benefiting from profit margins (outsourcing, manufacturing, lowering cost without oversight or regulation) - this benefits "the rich" is so far as "the rich" are shareholders of these companies

* Niche industries having disproportionate influence in our political system - such as private prison lobby, health insurance lobby, etc. - these players have in turn disproportionate impact on our legislative process because they are entrenched and intertwined with members of congress

It doesn't benefit "the rich" to have a poor population, if anything it makes the rich more vulnerable. What we are seeing play out is actually unintended consequences of greed and plain as day corruption which continues without oversight and regulation.
I know there's a lot of backseat lawyering going on in this thread but you probably took precisely the right action. Patent trolls have war chests to weather the occasional lawsuit and it's likely they could've outspent you on appeals.

Transoms (as in passing something ‘over the transom’)

Source: I am typing this from New Orleans where they were common, although the older dorms at my school in SoCal had them in the rooms.
I won't dispute the existence of class war (though I don't think it's about "middle class" and more about "working class" and I don't think this process is deliberate, more systemic)....

But I would quibble about the role education content plays. Canada doesn't have the same kind of tiered education system that the US has. Public schools are funded out of pooled revenue not local taxes for example so poor neighbourhoods don't get poorly funded schools (though that doesn't rule out what happens with "fundraising" but that's another issue). And universities are more affordable and don't generally get 'elite' status and name branding. Universities are generally all of high quality and most sane employers wouldn't sneer based on where your CS degree came from, etc.

But we have similar income inequality issues to the US. Because it's not the curriculum, it's the ongoing class structure, that's the problem.

Now, there's definitely different levels of education quality, but I have yet to see evidence that curriculum content is the problem. I'd argue the chief value of private schools and elite universities is the network of other wealthy people (am I allowed to use the word 'bourgeois?) you'll meet there. It's connecting with people of your own class.

When I worked at a startup here I quickly realized that most founders and investors I met knew each other or knew of each other through the private school circuit. But it was the exclusiveness of the networks they got through there that benefited them, not the quality of the education. They weren't any smarter than me, just better acculturated into the world of investment, finance, etc. by nature of who they knew, what resources they had, and whose kids they were.
If he truly is a fraudster, then you cannot really trust is accomplishments as being his own.
I can only pile on with anecdotal evidence from what my spouse has seen, working in middle schools: yeah, like half of kids who ask to start going by an opposite-gender name, ask to be addressed by different pronouns, start dressing differently, et c., in middle school end up changing their minds before they reach high school, and it is often girls.

From what I have heard this does not, however, lead me to believe there's an epidemic of kids receiving medical intervention in support of this, who don't "really mean it". As best I can tell it just means puberty is weird and confusing sometimes, but that usually resolves itself (at least, more or less) after a bit, which should surprise no-one. I doubt many cases that are merely confusion or uncertainty or "experimenting" or whatever, reach the point of even having a conversation with a doctor about it. I could be wrong about that, but nothing I've heard has me worried about The Children. Suicide rates do, but not that.
