> If interpreted strictly, the constitution is really not suitable for operating a modern government (e.g. if you interpret the list of powers given to the federal government narrowly) so the supreme court essentially has no choice but to make stuff up.

One, that’s not quite true. Sometimes the Constitution uses broad language. For example, the Commerce Clause is worded expansively. It’s probably been pushed a bit beyond the text, but the bigger impact is from vastly more activity in the country involving “interstate commerce.” Regardless, that’s well within the scope of interpretation and judgment.

By contrast, there are a number of things the Supreme Court has simply made up. Conjuring a “right to privacy” from “penumbras” of the other amendments is an example. The “reasonable expectation of privacy” formulation of the 4th amendment. The “wall of separation” of church and state. The country wouldn’t fall into the ocean without these things.

The administrative state is probably the most unconstitutional thing that’s simultaneously necessary. Specifically, regulatory agencies in the executive branch that combine legislative and judicial functions. (E.g. having the ability to promulgate rules and then adjudicate violations.) But one can imagine workarounds. E.g. executive agencies propose rules which Congress enacts. (Proposing laws is actually a function of the executive branch.)
I did, except the collective petri dish created by the unvaccinated pool means that the risk is actually worse, and seems to be increasing as life, uh, finds a way.

All hail the march of greek letters coming our way. It seems Lambda will be next.

I agree with you 100% — the only solution I’ve found workable is limiting my use of the technology itself as much as possible.
> I'm not sure what we're supposed to do with this information. Not vaccinate? Stay inside forever and suck our thumbs?

Switch from vaccinating everyone to vaccinating the most vulnerable and using antivirals to treat the illness when it's severe.

> If a more virulent form of SARS comes along that escapes the vaccines, we'll make a new vaccine. We're getting pretty good at it now!

And what if we can't one year --- for any reason? Then billions of people have their brains turn to mush. I don't want human survival to depend on an annual drug refresh.
yeah I don't know.

I did see some site unrelated reports that the gov were organizing deliveries. I would hope they were not letting those that they felt the need to "jail" in their own homes, starve to death...
I learnt this the hard way when I decided to go for SQLite for a hobby project for 'simplicity'.

Depending on how you store your values you could have a column with both floats and ints where a simple query like 'number < 10' will result in weird results.

On the performance side I wonder how much of an effect this has as the DB can't guarantee the size of any given column/row.

I'd also love to know why it was designed this way; I don't see a single advantage to be honest...
On Facebook "suggested for you" is not paid, all paid stuff is clearly marked. That's just the algorithm guessing at what you'll enjoy.
She's a psychopath.

I am starting to wonder if the anti-vaxxers truly have no conception that they're harming and killing people.

They should all be kept away from vaccinated and vulnerable people, and if they won't, they should be sent away or jailed -- this is the implicit agreement you make to live in a society -- Do No Harm -- it's not rocket science.
It sounds great, honestly. Sounds like his employees are working more for less pay. I know he's insulting his employees but still pretty awesome if he actually found a better position for his people.

Who doesn't want to make more and work less? I wish I could make money while doing nothing.
This ignores that willingly spreading the virus hurts the efficacy of the vaccine.
Moreover people on HN love to complain about every independent source of revenue they have. "Focus on the browser", they say.
I would be incredibly concerned with facebook banning the researchers regardless of whether or not Google donates money to Mozilla.
Some people who use C don't want a destructor like feature for performance reasons. They would prefer everything is cleaned up in some global context rather than each object in a chain of stack frames having to clean themselves up when an error somewhere buried deep in code.

I don't have any benchmarks because I don't work on low level code all day, but apparently it can be slow enough that it puts people off using destructors. This isn't a joke.

In fact, some people will not use new/delete. Some people will also go further and not even use malloc but prefer to use the syscalls for getting a block of memory directly from the operating system and managing it completely themselves. These are usually the people who don't use the standard library/libc.
If you get a breakthrough case of Delta, you have a 19% chance of getting long covid. That’s not to say there should be mandatory vaccinations, but case counts definitely matter.
> am I correct in guessing that FIDO2 solves this "trust gap" problem with CTAP2 relying on BLE, USB, NFC to prove user-presence?

FIDO2 isn't interested in this problem at all. From the point of view of FIDO2 the rpId ("Relying Party ID" the thing that distinguishes Apple from Facebook) is just arbitrary data selected by the application.

WebAuthn solves the problem by trusting the web browser to know which web site you're visiting. Specifically, the relying party (a web site you're trying to sign into) gets to pick a DNS name you'll authenticate against but the browser matches this DNS name against the HTTPS URL you're looking at, and rejects requests that don't match. The rpId is based on this DNS name, so a phishing site can't work.

e.g. You may think this page is from your bank, but your browser knows it's https://fake-bank.example/ and won't give it WebAuthn credentials for real-bank.example even though you firmly believe that's where you are.

I’d argue that there is room for both.

Flexible would be offering some kind of "anytype" column or similar. I'd still be wary of it, but there you could properly claim that one does not have to use it, and it would mean correctness is still enforced on all other columns.

This doesn't bother you because you have your own schema layer. Imagine your ORM would stop enforcing types, and return a number when a string property was requested.
> Which is in some ways even worse to me, because what were they doing for those 2 years?

What everyone always does, which is put it off until the last minute. Also, unless there's actual breaking change, people often don't notice, hence putting it behind a Chrome Origin Trial for the last 6 months forcing people to actually address it.
Agree, you can’t wrap these areas with low vaccination rates up in a tidy little virus denial ball to explain why they aren’t getting vaccines. It’s many reasons with a really large one being that the virus until relatively recently probably didn’t hit those areas very hard. So in a sense my buddy who lives in the woods alone off the Suwannee River—who rarely goes into town and generally only watches gunsmoke reruns on TV, simply doesn’t see Covid as the threat that folks in NYC in April 2020 did. He probably doesn’t even know someone who has had it.

Knowing something is real, but not being affected or concerned about it is a lot different then claiming it doesn’t exist.
Or regulation saying that this is illegal, because it invades users privacy too much.
Pardon my ignorance, what does SoMe mean in this context?

In my first job, I took standup to be a pace keeping device, so for a while I would hack together something to have it ready, or if I did two things in a day, I would withhold one to have something to report the next day.

I did not continue to do that as when a task carried over into the next day I wasn’t hassled about it, but whenever things like this occur I have to wonder if there are places where this strategy would be required.

I suspect this will be an unpopular opinion here, but I think that if you set the thresholds conservatively enough, a tool like this could be useful in identifying people who are not contributing. Where I work there are searchable tool invocation logs and there have been cases where someone is only compiling code one or twice a month, who not too long after I discovered this made an exit.

If you're enough sigmas below the median, it might be worth a closer look at least. Human review would be necessary of course. There are a plethora of ways to contribute. But it doesn't seem controversial that there must be some signal to be extracted from logs like those described in TFA.
Exactly what I was thinking. Pure speculation, but they needed to do a big layoff so they come up with a "process" instead of making the news "we're not doing well so we had to lay off 150 people".
No, your hashes are not uploaded to the cloud, yes, hashes are downloaded to your phone. Yes, it will be interesting to see if it gets spammed with false positives, although it seems as though that can easily be identified silently to the user.

> that same post civil war government interned the Japanese, allows police to search any vehicle with the "signal" of a dog, and instead of enslaving blacks just disproportionately tosses them to wither away in prison instead. Instead of enslaving brown people here, now our kinder gentler federal government just blow them up in foreign countries instead.

I would say the 1st and last examples are examples of the federal government making a very bad call. The others are primarily the fault of local governments.
An old boss of mine used to acknowledge people that had contributed excessively high LoCs at the weekly standup. Typically it used to be an indicator that somebody had completed a large portion of work. Then a new guy started topping the LoC charts every week, and it was discovered that he was reformatting every file he touched to use his preferred indentation scheme.

It was a pretty lighthearted thing to begin with, but they stopped mentioning it entirely after that.
That looks terrible.

i looked thru about 20 solutions, many had caveats, the accepted solution seems wack.

>There is no mechanism for the vaccine to have some long term effect that wouldn't be apparent within a short time period give the MASSIVE number of people who have received the vaccine.

By the same logic brain effects of long COVID on asymptotic cases is impossible aince these people don't even know they had the infection and shouldn't be studied either.

Saying that the immune system is well studied and we know what happens when we don't even know the mechanism behind the long COVID sideffects is again overreaching.

And I'm not saying my "amateur conjecture" is likely true, I'm saying given the surprising sideffects of COVID on asymptomatic cases it's not really unreasonable to check this kind of things - especially when you're vaccinating a huge % of population in one step (other required immunisations happen generationally)
Busyness is not productivity. But organizations have a history of using metrics that measure 'busyness' when they say they are measuring productivity. Things like how often you are seen at the water cooler or chatting with a co-worker, how quickly you respond to communications, how quickly can you be reached, any time, anywhere, whenever someone wants to reach you.

I don’t fault her for growth hacking truly, but faking a deep voice for years to everyone inside and outside the company is pretty extreme in my opinion. It wasn’t just that she did the voice in a couple important meetings with some Old Guard suits. The voice plus the Steve Jobs cosplay makes her border on performance art. It’s one of my favorite things to happen in the last decade.

I don't park on the street. I have a (long) driveway and parking area with garage. If my car isn't in the garage when plowing happens, I have a whole lot of manual shoveling to do.
Reminds me of how Netflix wanted to initially use blockbuster as their distributor. When it fell through with Blockbuster they had to build their own distribution network and did so at the perfect time to pivot into streaming. You never know if the people you’re arrogant about today will be the ones to drive you out of business.
Since Snowden I use my phone in minimalistic way. Phone calls. Minimal texting. No games. Banking apps if necessary.

Treat your phones as an enemy. Use real computers with VPN and software like Little Snitch when online. Use cameras for photography and video.

The benefits of this approach are immense. I have long attention span. I don't have fear of missing out.

If governments wan't the future to be painted by tracing and surveillance mediated towards people trough big tech - lets make it mandatory by law. And since big tech will reap benefits from the big data they must provide phones for free.

A couple of tidbits no one seems to be touching on

- what will this do to the long term economy of the localities that choose to mandate this, if later the rest of the country does not go along?
Will this see a rise of restaurant soeakeasies?

- do people not wonder about the timing of it all, when the powerful opposition to the mayor of nyc (cuomo) is politically weakened by a sex scandal, and absorbs all the front page news in the process, effectively innoculating a mayor that is hated, among all demographic groups in nyc?
They're basically saying, that they're watching all your multimedia, to see if maybe you're distributing child porn. This is like doing rectal exams on everyone, every day, because someone might be hiding drugs there.

It's pretty cynical to view the person who is helping others get unstuck as "currying favor".

Yeah. We're approaching two million Teslas on the road now, and virtually everyone one of these has autopilot. I mean, yeah, with a sample size like that someone's going to find every edge case in manners ranging from hilarious to catastrophic. Just yesterday there was a guy on reddit claiming to have discovered one fork in Yosemite where, apparently, five Teslas have all wrecked their bumpers on the same rock. I believe it.

At the same time, it really is hitting all those edge cases. And the worst news in months is a cranky rock of doom?

I use this thing ever day. It's pretty amazing. I haven't driven Comma/OpenPilot yet, and wish them the best too. But the Tesla hate is approaching derangement at this point.
You make an excellent point regarding federal drug law as it relates to state-by-state legalization. It's fascinating that here we have a case of the executive blatantly refusing to enforce the law, but Congress also blatantly failing to press the issue (which they could) because they know doing so would be incredibly unpopular... But at the same time, refraining from codifying that policy into law, because doing so would be incredibly unpopular with the percentage of the electorate that still believes marijuana should be illegal.

It's weird to watch.
Many unvaccinated people don't have a lot of faith in the medical establishment. And if they stayed in when they got sick, then died quietly in their homes, it would be different. But they don't. Once they're sick, they suddenly believe in the miracle of modern medicine again. They fill up the hospitals and drain their community's limited medical resources, leading to excess non-covid deaths. This behavior is widely perceived as selfish and hypocritical, because it is.

Some of their "freedom" is now being stripped away by their vaccinated counterparts, who are growing increasingly impatient and frustrated, and who outnumber them.

This may also be selfish, but at least it's democratic.

The EU is less than 30 and has already lost a member. If you accept membership flexibility then extreme diversity is much easier to accommodate.
Unless your extra generous contributions are in the 10's of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of dollars per year (depending on which government you're referring to - local, state, fed), I can assure you, whatever money you send to whatever government is not significant enough to make any difference. You're far better off sending that money directly to vetted non-profits that do the things you think your area needs more of.

Not to mention, governments like the US fed will just poof new money out of thin air if they can't afford something anyway.

And... when it comes to tax law, you had better follow the letter not the spirit, otherwise you risk an unpleasant visit from your local tax auditor. Your interpretation of the spirit of the law won't get you out of their crosshairs.

I’d argue that almost no claim like this is even remembered, let alone becomes ‘embarrassing’.

On the other hand when people see them it definitely creates the propaganda or marketing value of China being ‘ahead’ in some way.
The bill of rights didn't apply to states until the 14th amendment was passed. Before it only applied to federal laws. So yea, pretty much every bill of rights case is also a 14th amendment case.

25 years of programming experience here. I have written my own Lisp runtimes, micro kernels, C compilers, high performance web servers, a million selling game written in C, high performance pairing/rostering optimisers for the airline industry etc. I am a language geek and have programmed in pretty much everything I could get my hands on. And are currently maintaining a high performance compiler for a Haskell style language, and have fun learning how to prove code correct using Coq/F*/Idris/Lean. Is that mature enough for you? I would have zero problem writing applications in Lisp. But I choose not to. Why? Because I am more productive in other languages. That might not be the case for you. However your N=1 experiment doesn’t in any way generalise to N=everybody else.

Can rust _gaurantee_ memory safety? A lot of the core features are built on-top of unsafe {} blocks after all. Zig has it's own memory safe features which will catch a lot of memory safe bugs compared to Vanilla C.

asan/valgrind/etc. will also pick up a lot of memory bugs for C and C++.

Outside of maybe formal proofs in languages that only exist in research labs there isn't anything that is _provably safe_. This discussion and worship of languages which advertsie themselves as "memory safe" seems a bit zealous and often not useful. I do prefer rust over C++, mainly due to better defaults (immutable variables) and stripping out the object orientated paradigm which just gets abused after 25 years of "enterprise design patterns".

After a few years, rust is going to have just as much dodgy software as much established languages. You can see it now with people trying to write in rust as pythonic as possible and littering the place with .unwrap(). That's not a sign of quality/stable software, even if it is written in a 'memory safe' language.
That’s far enough away to be essentially meaningless because nobody will remember the claim.
None of this aged well. Some context worth having here: Ranum and, to some extent, Bruce Schneier were part of a small reactionary movement of security thought-leader-types that opposed vulnerability research --- not just the publicizing of it (which I think is also a misguided critique) but also of the entire ethos of vulnerability disclosure.
That's an interesting take and I hadn't considered how the subject matter is such that staying clear of summaries is the best recourse -- thanks. But perhaps there is a way to add the very TL;DR that would have been near the bottom of the article at the top. I usually have no trouble skimming and digesting the reporting on wsj and nyt.
See, psychiatry I trust. Psychiatry has clearer goals because it's not being lobbied by sjw types. It's psychology and it's total disregard for any scenario where information on the patient can't be trusted that I take issue with. This seems like a consequence of psychology being in this post-modern phase where being able to evaluate and verify a diagnosis is largely disregarded.
Peaceful assembly without being killed by your neighbors seems like an even more basic subset of that right.
