Here in Canada, weed's been fully legal for several years, and our society has yet to crumble. It's been legal for medical use since 2001. It's pretty similar to alcohol in regulation. More places (including the US federally) should get on board with allowing it recreationally, but doing it medically would be a good start.

My opinion is aligned with two of the world top experts on epidemiology and virology, as I said before I know too little and am often wrong. Therefore, I tend to go with the scientific consensus.

My only point, believe what you want to believe ... Yet, it's not the scientific consensus. (That does not mean that you are wrong, it just means that I don't follow your advice, as there are people working 20 years and more on the topic who disagree with you and have the better arguments. )
This year the main variant of COVID in the US is the delta variant which has an R0 of around 7. The main COVID variant last year in the US had an R0 of around 3. That makes staying COVID-free this year is much more difficult.

People with stable living situations can more easily keep track of all their official paperwork and spend the time needed to understand the application process. They also have more access to the internet to do things remotely.

Poor people are more often in less stable living situations and it's easier to lose track of documentation. Not to mention unhoused people who don't have a safe place to keep track of things either and often don't have up to date identification in the first place. Also, with less access to the internet to do things remotely it's more common to need to take time off work to go to a physical branch which may be very far away, requiring taking multiple busses just to prove their identity.

Of course adding more security is important, but it has tradeoffs like this that harm the poor that need to be considered.

Best Hard Science Fiction of the 21st Century
I'm assuming it's a satire in response to the following line, which claims that banned Facebook pages are "the anti-bullshit universe":

> One option, more popular each day, is to retreat to the anti-bullshit universe of alternative media sources. These are the podcasts, videos, Twitter threads, newsletters, and Facebook pages that regularly vanish from circulation for violating “community standards” and other ineffable codes of conduct, oft-times after failing “fact-checks” by the friendly people at Good Thoughtkeeping.

I also like that the author explicitly refuses to provide any examples of these "anti-bullshit alternative media sources". Very common tactic amongst this ilk - complain about aggressive censorship and how George Orwell was specifically warning us about Twitter, all the while doing everything you can to avoid people seeing what was actually incurring bans.

I see it all the time in communities I run, people start trying to spin off alternative sites and talk about how <insert community here> impinges on free speech, and then when you check what they were banned for there's a tirade of racial slurs directed at other members of the community.

It's insanely hard to get your content consistently removed from Twitter or Facebook, they do everything they can to avoid having to hire more moderators. It can happen, but then providing the examples will get everyone on your side immediately. Anyone who claims that they're being unfairly censored and yet refuses to show the content that actually got removed is trying to hide something.
The Zillow thing seems to work pretty well for home sellers-- fast sale, cash, over asking price. That's pretty much a seller's dream.

I don't think alcohol production correlates as much as you're alluding to. I lived in Texas and the state is highly unforgiving around alcohol. A first time drunk driving offense takes the better part of a decade to overcome. Bars and stores are constantly presented with tricks and arbitrary limits that make a job that averages $60k a year a legal minefield. We'd have massive grids around the city setup on holidays that were sobriety checkpoints.

A lot of constituents in the south, from my experience, already use CBD, THC, or both. I'm not sure what actually holds the state back from legalizing it given that so many folks already support it.

> Coding a function in the expression-oriented syntax of functional languages has a higher cognitive load than coding that same computation as a sequence of statements.

I don't know what fp's you've been using but the most common modern ones have basically all adopted the pipe operator, which make the representation of data transformation as a "sequence of statements" painfully obvious.

"Take this data"

"Transform it with this function"

"Get this integer list out from that"

"Multiply those integers by two"

"Sum them up"

According to the article they have a monolithic Django application so this will have at least a couple of seconds start-up time. That is not a good match for Cloud Functions.

Django also has in-memory caches, for example for templates which can be extremely slow (seconds) and CPU intensive to render. So you really don't want to have AWS or Google restart your application on AppEngine whenever they feel like it.

Its funny and an interesting read. At the same time, this kind of frivolous litigation drives me nuts.
it's not readdir() that is slow - it's the way ls needs to load the whole directory into memory then do a bunch of things on it (sorting, calculating column sizes, etc), and depending on what you have in your defaults or passed options it might also try to stat() every of those files first.
That's not necessarily Carvana. Near me dealerships are calling up people halfway through their lease asking to buy them out at a profit to the leasee, and are then selling those cars at a higher price than new cars-- because the have almost no new cars to sell.

Silbervogel – Nazi Germany's Liquid-Propellant Rocket-Powered Sub-Orbital Bomber
I'm not saying your wrong, but frankly, it's 2021, and it should be a lot easier than this to set up hosts internally for home use. We've largely had the internet broadly for the last 25 years, and the average person should not have to be an expert on wildcard certs/DNS/zeroconf if they want to just have a server running locally.

In fact, that's part of the reason things have gone to the cloud, because what should be local internet style appliances (think of a media server that you just plug in and works with your stereo/tv) can't find each other easily -- all because you can't resolve a freakin name on the local DNS without setting up bonjour or your own DNS server.

Are you suggesting that this person shares these behaviors?
I think Haskell is kind of hard to learn for these main reasons: what you know from imperative programming mostly doesn't transfer, you kind of need to know a pretty big set of library functions in order to be productive, and for practical programs you often need to know a few tricks that aren't obvious that allow you to mix pure code and mutable state (how to exploit laziness, how and when to use the ST monad, what should be in the IO monad, etc..).

Additional roadblocks are that the syntax is strange if you're not familiar with ML-derived languages, the type system is fairly complex and you need to understand quite a bit of it to make progress, laziness can cause performance problems (lost parallelism, excessive memory use) if you're not careful, and the tooling isn't always as user friendly as it could be.

That said, I'm glad I learned Haskell, and though I don't know everything about the language, these days I'd feel pretty comfortable using it for anything I'd use any other decently-performing garbage collected high-level language for.
This is along the lines of “systems over goals.”

Well, if you were a bank, and you knew you would be on the hook for a zillion dollars per fraudulent account, wouldn’t you respond by being way mire rigorous about who can open accounts? The potential profit no longer outweighs the potential liability, so you’d certainly want more forms of ID—you might even want to start fingerprinting customers or some such.
The C standard doesn't mandate tail-call optimization, but at least GCC and Clang are pretty good at doing it (-foptimize-sibling-calls, which is turned on with -O2)

At this point, the feds really just need to get out of it, and let the states do as they will.

Curiously, this isn't even something that requires legislation! Existing federal drug laws already give DEA extremely broad latitude wrt re-scheduling drugs (which is generally problematic, but in this case it could be an advantage). So, DEA could just move cannabis off the schedule if they felt like it. But they'll never do it by themselves, because all the high-ranking officials in the agency literally made their careers fighting the "war on drugs".

However, since this is purely an executive branch decision, the president could prod them with an executive order - much like Trump did to force ATF to reclassify bump stocks as machine guns. At that point, Congress could still override it by passing legislation to put it back on the schedule... but that would be political suicide for them, and they know it.

Practically, if that function is somewhat hot, I wouldn't be surprised if V8 omitted the allocation altogether when generating optimized bytecode — internally, properties on objects already have an "order," so V8 could push each property into the stack in that order/reverse order (depending on calling convention). And if it doesn't yet, that's not a difficult optimization to make.

Here in my area of Canada it's very rare to have underground electrical power lines. So rare that there was a study using a small town (in New Brunswick?) to research the cost, maintenance, durability of doing so. That was back in the 70s or 80s. It was a unique situation that didn't seem to catch on probably due to the cost.
You aren't aware of what is involved in a system like this. You believe it's simple, and so you believe it would be technically uninteresting. But you are mistaken in that belief. Go read the Zanzibar paper[1] -- Google's analogue to the AWS system we're discussing -- then come back and tell me with a straight face that that is technically uninteresting. If so, I'll at least learn that we have different views on what technical interesting-ness is.

Because the buffer is not the problem.

ls is slow because it will first load everything to ram, then do a bunch of operations (and it's not really optimized on those, it seems, at least not for speed) and if you have certain options enabled it will also need to stat() each file first.

Been there, done that, learnt not to run ls without -1f in a directory that would result in half-hour run.

> if you (as a lowly IC) were trying to explicitly set up "hallway conversations" with your remote co-workers, your boss would tell you to stop the bullshit and get back to work.

“Lowly IC” - I don’t think you and I are on the same page, so let me stop you right there. None of the companies I’ve worked at treated people as being “lowly” or ICs as being lowly or inferior.

I don’t work in an organization where my manager tries to micromanage me. Nor does anyone here micromanage even the most junior employees.

People are responsible for meeting goals, driving initiatives forward, and delivering value. As long as you’re doing that, we don’t really care if you spend half your day on Twitter or watching Netflix — so long as you’re not actively distracting people. And by distracting, I mean intentionally interfering where it’s unwelcome by the other person.

Your argument seems to be that managers are trying to squeeze the most value by forcing people to be heads down working.

Maybe that formula works at Burger King or where you’re working with your hands - every second or minute lost might mean you produce less “widgets”.

This isn’t true in technology jobs, and if that’s how your organization is run, I recommend you start applying elsewhere.

This is all tangential to the main topic - some of the best innovative conversations do happen in hallway chats, over lunch, or while people are sitting near each other at their desks. And I recognize you disagree with that but to be clear, the culture you describe isn’t remotely close to my experience. We’re comparing apples and oranges - our experiences are not comparable at all.
