Do you honestly believe anyone is going to arrest the county board of supervisors?

What do you believe will happen to remedy this?

I'm all for enforcing the law, but I recognize that local authorities are essentially unaccountable to the rest of the nation. I assume that the residents of Maricopa county either support the outcome, are unable or unwilling to change it, or do not care about our civic processes.

I think one of the biggest issues facing modern dating is the collapse of various socialization activities outside of work. Religion is on a decline so people don't meet at church. Hobby groups are all online now.

which was about the social trend of "computer dating" where you would sign up for a service where you fill out a paper form, somebody transcribes that on a 3270 terminal, loads the data into a mainframe, and you get matched to somebody that way.

Tinder has pictures and is self-service but it's the same basic idea.

I've had a strange fascination (grounded on being 100-x% percent successful at love where x>0; x is not that big but how much of a gap between the ideal and reality can I accept in my one life with what time I have left?) with the alt-right culture of "incels" who speak in the register of social science and are more articulate in their resentment than the people who get mad because their posts "cancel culture" get flagged on HN.

Those people trade in "theories" about why "there ain't no making it" such as biological determinism (there is some guy with a bigger penis than you who is going to get all the attention) but the one that online dating is unfair resonates with me.

That is, when Tinder is the dominant way you get hooked up with people, you are leaving one of the most important things in your life (inclusive of "work" in the top two) in the hands of a corporation that doesn't have your best interests in mind.

Some of those "alt-right" people would hate online dating even more if they knew it encouraged miscegenation.

(Seems to me they should add "I" to that jumble of letters that starts with "LGB..." since even though incels seem to want to conform to conventional gender and sex expectations they can't seem to really do it which makes them nonconformists.)
Technically we can confidently say we're the only ones living here, because we've defined the word "life" and what it means.

And we tend to define life in a very terrestrially and DNA-specific way, despite we don't mention it explicitly.

My favorite are the pointless arguments about whether viruses are alive or not. As if "it's alive" is some objective property of a thing. It's not. It's a word we made up.

Maybe the Moon is conscious for all we know. We know almost nothing.

As for effective communication and interaction with aliens, it'll most likely require cybernetics and genetic engineering.

The idea humans will colonize the universe is very naive. We're Earthlings. We're extremely fragile outside very specific conditions on this very specific planet. To live successfully outside we'll have to change a lot.

Sure, technically whatever that ends up being we can still call "humans" but it won't look like humans do right now, that's for sure.
Read the Documentation/devicetree directory in the kernel sources and look at how a few drivers implement their documented bindings.

This isn't a snarky RTFM comment. The usage model file in the kernel documentation gives good motivation for what device trees are used for and their basic structure, and the APIs to pull data from them are straightforward enough that you can probably figure them out by looking at an example.

Spreadsheets can be extremely powerful for what-if analyses. They can of course also be abused in that respect, especially in a business context, where complex spreadsheet models can get conflated with reality.
I think that will happen in some cases, but we need to be prepared for the reality that wages can't increase everywhere. Lots of restaurants and grocery stores will go out of business before they can double wages.

You may think that's a good thing, but you can't just say "Those rich businesses will just cough up more money". That won't always be the case.
Japan is still one of the safest and politically the stablest places to live on this godforsaken planet. These economists however try to convince us it's Mad Max.
But.... We're right though? I mean there is some wiggle room, if some lib has a security hole in some functionality that's not actually being used, but it's all about risk. We gate deploys to prod over something like XRay or LifeCycle and the frustration it causes our devs is much cheaper than deploying something we know is insecure to prod and would cause us to fail an audit or something (let alone get pwned).
As always, the problem can at least be made easier by using the right data structure.

Counting time as just "seconds since epoch" is like, really convenient, and by convenient I mean lazy. It may have even been excusable when computers had kilobytes of RAM and if they had hard disks at all, it wasn't more than a megabyte. When "assembly" was high-level programming.

But now that we have infinite disk, processors that are idling most of the time they aren't rendering 3d video, and programming languages which almost don't suck, we could stand to use richer representations of dates that include the semantic concepts people use when talking about time, like "years" and "days" and "hours". You don't need to know how many leap seconds -- or even leap days -- are between 2021-07-01 and 2022-07-02 to say that one is a year and a day after the other.

There was a time and a place for "GOTO"s; there still is, just much less often than back when that was your only real option for flow control. Likewise, the time for storing dates and times as seconds since Jan 1 1970 was much closer to that date than today.

There is no reason to believe that 'immigration' can fix the native birth rates of South Koreans. This is an implicit assumption dreamt by the utterly deranged.
How of dealing with a work-from-home business world
Neither of these apply to Japan, especially Japan decades ago when their birthrate fell to around the current rate. So that’s a pretty strong data point against these theories being key factors.
I have a love hate relationship with spreadsheets. While in University I was a bit of an Excel Monkey, I knew everything there was to know and I prided myself in not having to use my mouse to make complex models... Now that I worked at a major bank, learned to code and moved to the data science side I despise spreadsheets. Most people don't realize this but out entire banking system is built on a couple excel models that all the banks use - when something goes wrong its a nightmare to fix.

Recently, we've started to see a major shift away from spreadsheet models to spreadsheets being used as data dumps and then being uploaded into third party software. Usually this "software" tends to be nothing more than some SQL and python scripts behind a fancy UI. I would personally prefer the banks to continue using Excel sheets and then pay for their employees to learn basic python and SQL but that's too simple and the SaaS sales guys have their claws firmly embedded in the upper levels of most orgs.

All of these kind of propaganda is the same. But nationalinterest is a propaganda outlet and the author "is a Member on the policy advisory boards of the Ministry of Unification, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the National Assembly's Committee on Unification, Diplomacy, and Trade."

Without reading the article - "Western" values/democracy, "liberal values" and lgbt. I guarantee it.

Firstly, you can't be a "power" if you are occupied. You are a vassal, nothing more.

The only thing korea will be used for is to spread the lgbt agenda in asia as it's the weakest asian "power". It isn't a secret that we've been trying to peddle the lgbt agenda to asia and everywhere we tried - japan, taiwan, philippines, thailand, etc - flat-out rejected. The silly awards ( oscar, etc ) and praise ( like this propaganda piece ) are just worthless payments given to korea in exchange for accepting and peddling the lgbt agenda. Isn't that what the article is really about?

> Liberal values such as freedom of speech, basic human rights, and racial and LGBT equality could have a universal appeal if advocated by non-Western democracies like South Korea.

There it is. Vassals/subjects/etc are always 10 or 20 years behind their masters. The only thing south korea is an example of, is selling themselves and their people to the highest bidder.

Maybe instead of doing other's bidding, south korea should look at their hideous fertility rates (lowest in the world), growing societal divide and reuniting their divided country. Certainly more important than mindlessly peddling "Western" interests. No? Or is that what "powers" do, serve other people's interests?
> adopting a less correct timekeeping system

Precisely the opposite, and that's the root of the problem. We started with astronomical clock ticks and have gradually transitioned to progressively more accurate measurements. The attempt to maintain synchronization with astronomical units is for backward compatibility, not because they're more correct.

The author explains what they mean by parsing in the post:

> Really, a parser is just a function that consumes less-structured input and produces more-structured output. By its very nature, a parser is a partial function—some values in the domain do not correspond to any value in the range—so all parsers must have some notion of failure. Often, the input to a parser is text, but this is by no means a requirement, and parseNonEmpty is a perfectly cromulent parser: it parses lists into non-empty lists, signaling failure by terminating the program with an error message.

So the properties checked by the parser are reflected in the output type. Reifying these properties in the type is what allows the validation to be done once at the top level and avoided throughout the rest of the program. Your complaint about throwing exceptions is focusing on an irrelevant detail in a small example - yes this could have been moved into the main function but doesn't affect the overall behaviour.

However your argument that propagating Maybe values is more idiomatic than parsing into a more precise type is one I - and I assume most - static typing advocates would disagree with. Given the choice you would always prefer an 'a' over a 'Maybe a' since a Maybe represents a point of uncertainty which you would rather not have. As a result, having to chain this imprecision using various combinators is inherently more complex than not having to do so. Yes, using bind etc. is preferable to manually destructing Maybe values but avoiding Maybe is more preferable still.
Ya. That's a tough one. Philosophically, I totally support vetting. I don't know we'd make it useful.

Pondering...

One past team had a weekly formal "log bash" ritual. I LOVED it.

That ops team kept track of everything. Any unexplained log entry had to be explained or eliminated. They kept track of explained entries on their end, so we wouldn't waste time rehashing stuff. I imagine their monitoring tools supported filters for squelching noisy explained log entries.

Maybe the security team which owns XRay could do something similar.

> Besides, doesn't the US already have sales taxes? Or are they state-only?

State. City. County. Sub-divisions of same that are special sales tax districts and have extra sales tax applied. Not every instance of those entities applies a sales tax, but any could and many do. Basically everything except federal. The sales tax where I am, in a "red" state, is about 11% (we actually have a really high effective all-inclusive tax rate in this state, for how entirely shitty government services and infrastructure are)

> I'm starting to favor a tax on real estate and/or land value, since that's physically impossible to hide.

The challenge with that is the system for assigning value—everything else about it is easy. We already have something close to what you'd need in the US because real estate property taxes are common. That system's not perfect but it may still be good-enough, despite its flaws. It seems to work kinda OK. That might change if that became a more important revenue source, and for more levels of government, though.
As much as Amazon sucks, I’m under the impression that the union cannot win a vote. The employees voted against unionizing not because of illegal intimidation, but 1) they knew Amazon would cut jobs and move elsewhere if they succeeded, 2) the condition and pay in Amazon warehouses, though sub-par, is much better then any other job in their area, and 3) these are places with general anti-union sentiment.

If we want to improve conditions for these people, we need to give them better opportunities and education. Right now Amazon is the hand that feeds them, and even if they were to unionize they’d just be the more-regulated hand that feeds them.
It's that or just roll over and die.
I think the point is that we are currently using opaque, poorly trained and erratic ML (Meat Learning) algorithms. Oh sure the meatbox says that it's allocating N years for this, M years for that, but empirical studies have proven that this readout is nonsense.

Which kind of ML is easier to train to be non-racist? I don't know, but it's not obvious to me that meat is the winner here.

Fred Wilson lost my respect recently when he was cheerleading a company’s decision to move to single year stock grants instead of the traditional 4-year grants on the basis that employees should “not stay for the wrong reasons”. Never mind this is yet another way for the investor class to take all the upside from the folks who actually do the work. Funny how no one complains about investors staying a company for the monetary upside Fred.

I agree that the odds are that Ybarra and O'Neal can't turn the ship around... but there is still a non-zero chance.

Seems like Mike Ybarra is a 'Mr Business' type coming from Microsoft XBox who brags about "growth and engagement across services for Gaming at Microsoft" on his LinkedIn (which I don't think bodes well for removing the crazy micro transactions).

Jennifer O'Neal isn't that amazing either... she was the head of Vicarious Visions who have never made original IP, and let's be fair, have basically made mediocre games except for Destiny 2.
I’ve heard multiple early Facebook employees brag about stalking users, checking out who is looking at who’s pictures… having a really good laugh about it.

> not only has billions of U.S. dollars just went to China without anything in return

Genuine question: doesn't Chinese crackdown on its tech industry and private education industry have a greater impact on Chinese people (who are also investors) than it does Americans?

Your post seems to imply that both actions were designed almost specifically to harm American pension and hedge funds. I would think that is just a side effect of the real goal (whatever that exactly is).

I am in China currently, but I am as ignorant of the underlying motives behind the crackdowns. I just know some Chinese friends involved in after school education (which is a huge market here) who are worried right now. I do believe it is possible, however, that the crackdown on private education is because of the pressure that kids are put on over here. But maybe it's naive of me to think that.
Yeah wage-surpressed prison labor is fucked, but people dont realize it's actually pretty rare.

Our economy had been demand-constrained, not supply-constrained, for decades, and peole are beaten into submission not by forced/excessive work, but by telling them they don't or barely deserve to work. (Let your own fears make you work hard, not the whip.)

Thanks for the reply. We're using a schema registry but we generally have our schemas spread across multiple repos depending on who owns the topic. I was wondering if they centralized all their schemas under a single repo. I'd like to do this, but I wanted to get some other opinions on the subject.
> So urban cities are anti-child? Thus we will see cites change or depopulate?

Or, people now value cities more than they value having more children, leading to depopulation due to replacement rate reduction, rather than people leaving to have more children.
At what specific death rate would you be comfortable saying "okay cool" and treating Covid the same way as other diseases?

I don't mean for this to be a trick question. 5x the flu is within my comfort zone, but 2x or 1x or even 0.5x could all be reasonable answers. The answer that's not reasonable, but is by far the most common answer I've gotten, is that no Covid deaths are acceptable and we should never stop taking extreme measures to suppress them.
Or if you really want the wealthy to see red, just deflate the damned asset bubbles. Cancel the underlying debts. Just null the whole damn thing. If you bet on real-estate prices or bank stocks or whatever rising 15% per annum when the economy was growing at 2.1% per annum, you eat the loss.
Of course it’s always somebody’s job, but that’s it: it’s their job, they are paid by an hour. There is no “more work”, it’s just the planned work will be delayed.

Adapting to the candidate is probably good most of the time, but don't work too hard to make that happen. Computational geometry is on my resume, and interviewers are always trying to show that they know that too by trying to bend their question into that. The exercise very often detours as they've led me way down a wrong path because they're analogy doesn't fit, and all they wanted to know was if I knew about minimum spanning trees or even just heaps.
You are describing Seoul and Tokyo perfectly.

Despite having tens of millions of people and average densities much higher than most cities, they’re both among the most livable cities in the world.

Both of them inherited pre-war street layouts (in Tokyo’s case, despite being bombed, the layouts stayed the same). So neighbourhoods have narrow streets which makes them safer to walk (due to cars needing to drive slowly) and more interesting. And most neighbourhoods have older 2-4 storey or newer 10-20 storey apartments that provide the density to enable local shops and amazing public transit.

So much easier to raise children when you have everything you need within walking distance in the same neighbourhood, including child care.

True, and I don't know how much longer this can last. As an example, the rise of TikTok has certainly taken me by surprise. I've always seen world-class social media apps as a Silicon-Valley thing, something that only the US managed to produce. But now, not so much.

The point is that all code starts as simple text, and is parsed and compiled into some lower layer until it finally gets to machine code. What actually does the compilation is irrelevant.

All of these JS frameworks (React+JSX, Vue+HTML, Angular, Svelte, etc) require template compilation into an actual JS render function before a browser ever runs it, but compilation is the same fundamental process regardless of language or environment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiler

So yes it's all just text following a different syntax, and Vue's documentation already describes exactly what you can run: https://v3.vuejs.org/api/directives.html
