Rampant ignorance is right. At least in my subjective experience as an American, public education about South America pretty much stopped after the beginning of Europe’s colonial expansion.

Unless you studied it in college or on your own time, the only people who know much of anything about South American countries are people who’s social circles contain people from South America.
Travel route 66. They had such trouble with people pulling down those signs that they instead painted them onto the road. But that doesn't work so well in bad weather as rain/snow makes such signs difficult to read. Painted road is also more slippery.
You are almost completely wrong. How do you account for the precision of Panini as the previous commenter pointed out? How do you know to postulate that? There is NO other formalized grammar akin to Panini, so don’t judge Samskruta by other so called Indo European standards!

They will be forced to.

That’s what’s different with iCloud relay - Apple’s weight to force changes upstream.

Either Etsy changes their policy now during the beta (my guess is they will), or they change it in a panic in November when iPhones can no longer access the site to buy anything.

(No-one is going to switch off private relay to convenience a single website).
> Seems like the sort of scrutiny that would produce a well-intentioned law that will end up propping incumbents. Excited to be proven wrong though.

Maybe by itself, but it could be coupled with other laws designed to knock those incumbents down (e.g. by breaking them up), resulting in a better-structured and fairer market.

IMHO, the biggest tech giant should have their peripheral businesses broken off (e.g. separate Facebook and Instagram), and their main businesses should be further split to create well-matched peer competitors (e.g. Facebook Red, Facebook Blue, and Facebook Green).

Not liking React, and Tailwind, is a bit like saying 'I don't like Netty/Sprint Boot, I'll write my own web server'.

css (and javascript/webasm) are the lowest levels in web development, of course people are going to build on top of them.

Building a design system on top of css is not a surprising outcome. It's not different to building a library on top of a language.

The only problem I have with tailwind is that it reminds me of the days of 'save this Word document as HTML' and the horror that was MS markup in HTML.

Having said that, I use it, I like it, and it allows me to just do things and move on. If I don't know something, the design is discoverable with a bit of thought, unlike the underlying css.
I, for one, think it would be terribly difficult to maintain mines, steel mills, farms, water purification plants, chemical plants, concrete plants, auto factories, living quarters, hydroponic farms, plastic plants, glass plants, textile factories, sanitation, and all the other infrastructure we would rely on to maintain a technological existence, in an H2S-poisoned atmosphere with no ozone layer and no end in sight over eon timescales.

Technological civilization isn't a balloon or a tower, it's a pyramid. In order for the peak to climb higher, the base levels -- a stable and inexpensive supply of food, air, land, and water -- need to grow as well. Undermine that foundation and you can't expect the upper levels to float.

Based on their entries on wikitionary it looks like most phonetically written languages are able to express all these terms. Whether they commonly use them is a different question. From a cursory glance most of these are European languages such as English, German, French, etc. Languages like Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Vietnamese, Thai, will use a term that's semantically correct but doesn't try to imitate phonetically.

I'll go out on a limb and say this bullshit gives English a small bonus in being a global franca lingua (if you discount historical factors). It would be hard to communicate and discuss foreign ideas and words when you can't even express them concisely in your own language.

Hong Kong left people alone. Limit the violence. Hong Kong was the richest place in the world until the Marxist brought their brutality and bullying, and with far less resources.

Songuahkrito is not Samskruta but Bengali. So what’s your point?
A lack of imagination by the author, unfortunately...

A DoS on your build machine and dev machine can be indeed be critical issues. Imagine this scenario:

Your source code is somehow compromised and attackers slip in rogue code to your production site. It siphons off passwords or other PII. The attackers also take advantage of several of these RegEx DoS vulnerabilities to prevent you from quickly fixing the problem. When you discover the issue, you’ll first see that your build machine is unresponsive, so you can’t just spin a fixed build and re-deploy. You’ll sync your main branch to figure out what is going on, perhaps ready to make a build from your dev machine, but running yarn build hangs. It might take you 1 minute to solve or 5 hours - hard to guess. But every minute you’re delayed is another minute the attacker is siphoning off your production data.

npm audit isn’t perfect, but I don’t agree with the author that devDependencies can’t have critical vulnerabilities. Build machines and dev machines are critical infrastructure. Recall the method of attack of SolarWinds [1].

Related: we all trust that the “many eyes” of open source contributors will keep our dependencies relatively clean, but this function is not infinite. There is some threshold of lines of code and rate of change that will outstrip the community’s natural ability to find and fix problems. I wish the npm community was more sensitive to the risks that are inherent in current practices. Efforts to limit dependencies and perhaps somehow tag which versions have completed a security audit (and by whom) would be great to see.

For context: This paper argues that online platforms constitute a sort of "infrastructure" similar to utilities, and that they should be regulated to guarantee equal access.

This idea is not new - it has been discussed under different terms, e.g. with relation to "must carry"-rules for cable providers.

To simplify a bit, the argument boils down to the question of liability and responsibility for content curation. Platforms either curate content and are liable; in this scenario, they may be held accountable within media regulatory norms. Or they don't curate and provide equal access, then they aren't liable and free from media regulatory normative standards.

Note that the US' pretty exceptional take on free speech (as an untouchable right) very much complicates this simplified description.

Yet you decided it was a good idea to call out "South American countries". It's not too late to admit you made a mistake, you know.

At this point you don't even know (nor seem to care) if you're arguing specifically about Mexico, all of South America or what.

Canada and the US being considered the same doesn't bide well for the quality of your generalizations, either.
This is the playbook that works for ridesharing as well (which seems to be an oft-cited example of this)... in a larger city the density of riders and drivers is sufficiently high the market is able to support a 2-company system. In smaller markets, it quickly tilts into one of companies because no driver will stay on a platform without demand (long wait times for a ride), and no rider will use a platform without sufficient supply (high ETAs).
It's also interesting to note that their initial on-prem VSA fix/updates will include disabling some functionality: https://helpdesk.kaseya.com/hc/en-gb/articles/4403440684689-...

Without knowing anything about Kaseya, it sounds to me like the exploited endpoints were related to some kind of legacy features with a higher level of technical debt, and fixing all of the identified vulnerabilities in those components will take time.

Well, you mentioned being blocked, so I searched your name + tailwind.

Probably the company monitors the tailwind and tailwindcss keywords, saw those tweets, and decided that their signal-to-noise ratio for doing customer engagement would be better if they blocked you.

It's not a statement about your twitter account in general, or you as a person. It's just that their corporate objective wasn't served by your tweets. Now that your company is paying them, perhaps you can ask to be unblocked. Or perhaps not, as the support channels for Tailwind UI (the paid product) are GitHub, email and their private Discord.

Eh, once you start averaging across market caps and counting stock buy-backs as the back-door dividend they are, it becomes far less common. Amazon is the one big outlier there; IIGC, they've only performed a buyback once.

The S&P 500 disburses ~half a trillion USD in dividends each year, and performs another ~half a trillion USD in stock buybacks. You shouldn't discount that second half.

So it's still a problem. Apple knows about these unaffiliated tools, and they do very little to maintain communique with them until it's convenient for Apple to do so. This is nothing new, and it's one of the reasons you couldn't pay me to develop on iOS these days.

One sentence in the article suggested that, ideally, people making websites would just learn CSS, but since that‘s an unrealistic expectation (why?), Tailwind can be useful if you have big team of “front-end engineers” who don’t quite understand the markup languages that they use in their jobs.

I can’t argue with that. But it suggests that if you work alone or in a small group, actually learning CSS might make more sense.

Ruby Together: A new approach to documentation: Ruby API
Density increases prices for sure in much of the US - all you have to do is look at Manhattan, SF, or the denser parts of LA to see that - but it's wrong to say it has nothing to do with supply and demand. The expensive places that are dense also have lots of high-paying jobs, so people who get those jobs want to live close to those. But then it spirals: that concentrated pool of talent encourages the creation of more jobs which bring in more people which pushes prices up which impacts a wider and wider radius. That's not a problem that can be solved through increasing density alone, though.
Maybe then writing and submitting a CVE should cost some money that’s payed back together with the reward if the vulnerability is found to be „reasonable“ upon review?
If you're trying to put sql queries into a bash script, I beg the question to rewrite said script in a programming language. There are of course a bunch of other factors that would justify a rewrite so this isn't a hard rule.

However, having written hundreds of lines of bash gluing systems together for various CI jobs and automations, at some point you need to stop writing bash and switch to something with a richer data model and easier to maintain/test.

"Acceptable in the wider community" is a fairly poor standard to go on. Hitting your child with a belt was acceptable until recently (and still is, in many places).

It's only in the past 15 years that our histrionic society has decided that in all instances, without exception, that leaving your children unsupervised in a car is attempted murder.

My parents used to leave me in the car from time to time, they always made sure the window was cracked, the car was out of direct sunlight, and the sunshade was put on the windscreen. On the other hand, the thing that came closest to killing me (multiple times) was traffic.

That said, here in Australia, apparently parents leaving their kids in the car while they go to the pub to play pokies (slot machines) is enough of a problem that venues have signs reminding people not to leave children in cars. The pub round the corner from my place even has a kids playground, which I suspect was put in to stop parents leaving their kids in the car.
> A metaphor might be: "The passenger door is broken on my car, but I'm the only one to use it". Seriously, who, in their right mind, is going to argue that the door isn't broken?

I think a better metaphor might be, the button on your key fob that opens the trunk doesn't work, so you have to open the trunk using a physical lever. Every time you start the car, a loud warning siren sounds, and a red message appears on the dashboard to tell you that there is a "high impact" problem with your car, and you need to take it to be serviced. If you were merely the owner of the car, and other people also had to drive it, you might understandably be the target of several complaints about this "high impact" problem.
I believe it's correct. They're not expecting normal people to do supply chain analysis, but they are expecting people who see a ton of second hand drug-store products in a bag in a dodgy warehouse run by someone who doesn't really seem like a drug-store distributor to say 'wait a second that might be not 100% legitimate'.

It's not an unusual concept in common law. It's like manslaughter - you can have had absolutely not intention whatsoever to kill or harm someone, but still be held responsible for their death because you weren't careful enough.

> The three related lawsuits, filed in federal court in Florida, allege the tech giants have violated plaintiffs’ First Amendments rights.

Well... that's going to be interesting. Has any court ever held that a private company owes a First Amendment duty to others? Maybe something like the phone company, where it's considered a public utility. For this to be applied to Facebook et al, Trump's going to have to go all the way to the Supreme Court and win there. He certainly has both the money and the persistence to try to do so. But it will take two or three years. So he could win just in time for the 2024 election.

But, though IANAL, I don't think he's going to win at the Supreme Court. The argument would probably have to be something like this: "Facebook et al are now in essence public utilities. They shouldn't be able to censor someone any more than the phone company." That's an interesting argument, and one that has a hint of validity to it. But, as I said, my guess is that it won't win.
I was just using my other Twitter accounts to stay up to date, it's not a big deal.

Descriptive names will never help you understand the implementation of the business domain of math code. From the Domain-Driven design perspective, the symbols are the ubiquitous language which you should stick to.

Here is a more appropriate example, spot the bug in this Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equation:

let radial_derivative_of_pressure = - (pressure + energy_density) * (4. * PI * pressure * radius_squared + mass_potential) / (radius_squared - 2. * mass_potential * radius)

vs (with the same bug)

let dp_dr = - (p + rho) * (4. * PI * p * r2 + m) / (r2 - 2. * m * r);

Of course you have to look up the TOV equation to do so, even most domain experts would need to compare to a formula. One of these is much easier to compare and it isn't the spelled out version.

Your questions are unhelpful. It is merely the radial derivative of pressure. It is going to be used to be passed to a general purpose ODE integrator which just needs the radial derivative of pressure to integrate pressure for some range of radii. There is a real world equivalent: dp/dr; it is a known entity with exactly that symbol. Naming is not at all hard in this case: dp_dr or dpdr even dp_by_dr. Any other choice and you are just creating problems due to uncritical application of the belief that variable names should be descriptive while ignoring the fact that there is a well known ubiquitous language to describe these entities.

The closest thing in other business domains is common acronyms. Nobody is going to spell out GDPR in the implementation of their cookie banner. Nobody spells out HTTP, or JSON, or XML. Spelling them out won't help anyone trying to read the code, it just creates line noise.
