It might not be perfect, but in my opinion whole notion of someone being "diginative" by virtue of being born after some magical year is stupid. I've watched my nephew (born late 90s) and niece (born late 00s) usage of technology and I can say confidently that neither is what I would call diginative.

Just setting up a phone is something they rather have me do or at least be present since as soon as there is any paragraph of text on the screen that is more than five words long their eyes just glaze over.

People somehow confuse social media usage as being able to use the Internet and knowing how technology works, which is just plain silly. With mobile apps it might give you a tiny edge, but even there almost no one browses through options and sees what things do - to me THAT is what separates diginative from general populace. To willingly go into unknown digital places to explore and then bring out the good parts while avoiding the bad parts. It is more a mindset than anything else.
They scan all your files for CP and copyright infrigement (oh, sorry, that's Microsoft) and send your IP to FBI.
If Apple must scan my photos, I'd rather they do it on their servers.

Scanning on their servers is much less privacy preserving for users but don't fret, Dropbox, Facebook, Microsoft, etc. already scan stored photos.
It seems like absolutely everyone has forgotten about superspreading in the past 6 months.

Do vaccinated breakthrough cases still cause superspreading events?
What about Fairphone? EU only (or isn't it?) so I guess it's not a choice for that market where Apple's scanning has been introduced already as of today, but still. Though I've bought an iphone to get away from Google's all-seeing-eyes and won't crawl back to Google's ecosystem now, so I'd like to know more about Fairphone's O/S options. Is their Android de-Googled? AIU they're at least allowing installing alternative OSs without loosing warranty.
Wouldn't it then be easier and more logical to set the goal as 'reduction of work hours from ... to...'?

Personally, I don't believe that working less (or more) makes people happy (unhappy), but my whole point is that defining your future goals in terms of happiness and attempting to measure it is futile by definition.
> A sufficiently powerful static type system entirely subsumes dynamic typing, and there is quite literally nothing you can accomplish with dynamic typing that you cannot accomplish with such a static type system. After writing software using both dynamically and statically typed languages, this is the conclusion I have arrived at, and it feels like a no-brainer to me.

Do you thing some existing practical, high-usability programming language has a sufficiently powerful type system in the way you describe?

For me the big thing is that static type systems tend to be simultaneously too powerless to express what I need, and too laborious in demanding manual specification of things that I don't actually need to specify for the program to work. In a dynamic language with a good schema system like malli or spec in Clojure, I can have easily customizable verification that is opt-in.

Based on an environmental policy class I took in university, it seems like wolves are lupae non grata wherever they appear. There seem to be two root causes: ranchers don’t like wolves eating their livestock, and people are just frightened of them. Some of the fright is instinctual, but it’s certainly played up by the ranchers. Essentially anywhere and everywhere wolves are reintroduced, people start freaking out. Some wolves end up shot even when it is illegal, but more are shot when it is not.

This is one of those intractable problems because the benefits of predators to wildland is very high, but innate fear and economic concerns keep a solution out of reach. It’s not reasonable to ask ranchers not to carry firearms because wolves and bears are in fact dangerous, and they have economic incentives not to comply with wolf protections.

My favourite version system is PiVer, where you start with version 3.1 and then progressively add more digits from Pi. IIRC one of Joey Hess' projects did this.
To me whole notion of diginative-ism is that you don't need people to teach you how to use every program. You should have certain level of understanding how programs are usually structured and where some option might be hiding and you are confident enough using computers that you aren't afraid to poke around and figure it out for yourself.
This is why the EU is a good thing for its citizens and for business.

Do you think Facebook are going to even look at a complaint coming from somewhere like the Estonian competition regulator, that represents 1.3 million people? I doubt it, but when it comes from the EU that represents 446 million people it's a different story.

It's also good for business too, as you only need to meet one set of regulations instead of one for each country.
Don't you need exceptions though? How do you terminate arbitrary operations without exceptions?

Like say you call an algorithm (like std::sort) and during a callback (e.g. in the comparator) you decide to cancel the operation (perhaps user-requested). With exceptions it's easy; you just throw an exception and then catch it. No need to touch or even know the intermediate callers. But without exceptions what do you do? You have to go modify or reimplement the source code of every intermediate function, which is a giant waste of effort at best, and in reality a likely vector for introducing code duplication, brittleness, and bugs.
I don’t think that there’s motivation to optimize for the look of the end document that they write, they have to produce a lot of text, not a bunch of well formatted pages. A lot of people drive a car everyday but don’t know how to change oil for example.

> Correlation is not causation (I hate having to post this.)

And yet you're going to avoid defending it, or even looking at, nor answering any of my questions and then accuse me of such matters. Ironic.

> This is an awful lot of words to avoid the question

What is it with those who support big government ascribing mendacity to their opponents? I'm not avoiding anything (except fallacies like ad hominem and false dilemmas).

> whether the small-government philosophy you personally subscribe to, whatever it may be

Here you admit that there is more than one possible outlook, yet you go on to produce this:

> If you prefer contracts, stop arguing, if you don't, explain why you think the operation of prisons is a proper function of a small government. It's not hard.

A false dilemma. Make your mind up, are there many types or only one?

Perhaps if my questions were answered I might feel more in the mood to answer those from people who accuse me of avoiding theirs.

> would prefer that government contract out prison services, or run them itself

My answer is either, it's irrelevant. The government is regulator and enforcer. It should promote (high) standards which it then enforces regardless of whom is running a service. Problems may arise when:

a) the one running the service is also the regulator, a clear conflict of interest and though in some cases permissible, it's not one for incredibly powerful entities like government.

b) the ones providing the service are also over-represented in government i.e. they have more than a vote, they have lobbying power (or straight up corruption) which in this case would lead to criminalising essentially non-criminal behaviours to produce whatever positive outcome for them and not for the populace they're supposed to serve. How many people are in gaol for marijuana possession?[1]

More criminals means more prisons, more tax money, more staff and budget (hence more power), more cheap labour… how does that sound anything like small government?

Thank you for the clear explanation. Here in Europe we have Covid passports - if you are vaccinated or tested negative, you are allowed admission to, for example, shopping malls and no need to wear a mask indoors.

Does this mean that Covid passports actually help spread Covid from vaccinated to non-vaccinated people who mix together without masks?
No, it's not my logic and your conclusion is incorrect. Measurement units don't actually exist (meters, seconds, inches, pounds, liters) - yet that's how we measure things and very successfully.

Abstractions are critical to human thinking in science. But not only reification is very different, you can't measure happiness even if you want to. You'll always have to go 'happiness as defined ...' or resort to people self reporting their feelings. Which is fine - I always ask my kids how they feel. I just understand that not only kids and adults may change how they feel next hour but that those feelings are unreliable. If you have kids of your own, you know how many 'tragedies' they lived through by the age of 6.

Why is that supposed to be their responsibility?

They (and Google, Microsoft, Facebook, etc.) are essentially mandated reporters; if CSAM is on their servers, they're required to report it.

It's like how a doctor is a mandated reporter regarding physical abuse and other issues.

Because they're not the police. It isn't their role to enforce the law.

They're not enforcing the law; if the CSAM reaches a certain threshold, they check it out and if it's the real deal, they report to National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC); they get law enforcement involved if necessary.

> it seems like wolves are lupae non grata wherever they appear

Lupi non grati. ;D

(non grata isn't an independent phrase; it ends in -a because it has to agree with persona.)

(And while lupae could mean "exclusively female wolves", I think it's more likely to mean "prostitutes".)
The program has capability to upload questionable photos for review.

Just make it do equivalent of .* of all photos on device. It would be hard to argue, that's more difficult than scanning for specific hash.

And there is nothing specific about images. Extending this to scan arbitrary data is probably not that much code, depending on how its program maybe configurable.

Since when has the government acted so transparently?

They could simply tell Apple that this is for CSAM so that people would support it, and then change it later after everyone is is acclimatized to it and forgot about it.

Which is exactly what had happened. And exactly what will happen in a few years.

You sound like a government plant trying to gas light people into thinking this isn’t a big deal. It is a huge deal and it’s not as simple as saying “the government could have asked for it much simpler!” This is them asking for it, plain and simple, and Apple delivering on it.

I admit my experience is non-typical, as the only gasoline vehicle I own is a truck with a big tank, but 10 minutes is well within normal. For cars with 15 gallon tanks, 5 minutes is probably reasonable.

But in any case, 10 minutes is fine no matter what. If you are willing to spend 4x as much for fuel in order to save less than 10 minutes per week when you stop for fuel, then the problem isn't the charge time.

As another "level 2 driver" with the same features as OP has, I don't understand how someone could even begin to think it would be safe to "distract themselves" at this early level of automation. The temptation to stay alive wins over any temptation to distract myself.

When I hear reports of accidents in Teslas because the driver "took a nap" or watched a movie or whatever, it's hard to feel empathy, because that's just reckless driving at this level.

Of course Tesla is to blame when they marketed, and maybe are still marketing, level 2 capabilities as being on par with an "Auto Pilot".

Amazing that you found it. Thanks
Many of us saw this coming years ago and got into pretty repetitive arguments with those who need the hindsight to see this.
Maybe, maybe not - you'd have to define which complex set of chemical combination is happiness and which isn't. But why? We know a lot about neurochemistry. We know a lot about receptors, neuromodulators and their interactions (serotonin, addiction). As a biologist I don't understand - why would you want even study something that doesn't exist (happiness), when you can study specific parts of neurochemistry that are more practical and may have actual benefits (like reduction of addiction or help with schizophrenia)
But with exceptions what do you do? You have to go modify or reimplement the source code of every intermediate function to be correct and safe when an exception is thrown at every point where it can be thrown, which is a giant waste of effort at best, and in reality a likely vector for introducing code duplication, brittleness, and bugs.

The point is, retrofitting exceptions onto existing codebase is a lot of pain.

Interruptible functions have the API they have because they have been designed with exceptions in mind for interruptions. If there were no exceptions, the callbacks would have had a different API. A special return value could be used to signal an interruption.

ArtisanVideos used to be my favorite until the mod unfairly banned me.

It took me a while just to figure out that I was banned. When I inquired, it was because because I posted videos that are spammy advertising, which couldn't be further from the truth.

Based on the response, it was clear that I was not dealing with someone in normal state so I just wrote it off as lost cause and stopped visiting.

I had already thought the sub was on decline due to aggressive and unnecessary policing, because despite its huge membership, the content has become very stagnant.

I don't think this is a good metaphor. You still get the privacy same privacy aspect as you did before. Only your iCloud images are now being scanned for visual matches. If you are already trusting Apple with rest of your private life this hardly is complete 180 degree turn.

I don't quite understand why people are so against this. What if some algorithm scans your images? If you are using any cloud service to share your images then your images are already being scanned and far more invasively. Is the the storing of hashes that concerns you? Your password(s) is already being stored as a hash and we trust that it can not be reversed back to plain text, why wouldn't we trust that these image hashes can't be reversed back into images?

I've seen some notion that this is a backdoor and governments and other Lovecraftian entities could use it to suppress freedom of speech by censoring certain images, but that would require them to first have the image in question, then creating hash of the image, and then inserting it into the Apple's database and after that it would only be flagged for human verification and again assuming you trust Apple to handle rest of your digital life (such as iMessages) why wouldn't you trust Apple to share your images? If some entity has it's hooks so deep in apple that they start to censor images why wouldn't they just stop all of your messages being sent?

Please correct me if I'm missing something obvious.

Who said that privacy was going to be easy anyway?

.deb predates RPM's by a few years, so it's probably more then just the name.

While they accomplish the same thing, RPM's are actually pretty different from .deb since they're binary files. There's more metadata encoded in the package themselves, as well as a built in signature. .debs are, at their core, still just fancy tarballs organized in a specific manner.

Honestly though, RPM's are kind of a mess and pretty difficult to implement without using one of the reference programs, along with containing a lot of extraneous info that you need to fill out. There's a great blog post out there describing someone's attempt to create RPM's from scratch and their gradual descent into insanity. Though, the extra metadata has it's features (better search, dependency resolution, etc).
