Great article, but I disagree with the premise.

Code review is too late for most automated analysis (at the level of: "parameter isn't validated" as seen in the screenshot), it should ideally be done as a compiler/lint check in the IDE, and at worst as a git pre-commit hook.

In most cases it's not worth sending a code review if there is automated feedback which can and should be addressed before a human sees it. It streamlines the reviews for reviewers, and gives new contributors a much better experience as they have less feedback to address, and more confidence that their code is correct.

> Yes, I was writing about launch-on-warning posture although I can now see I could have been more clear. As far as I know no country is presently assuming that it is able to detect, interpret, and authoritatively decide to enter full-scale nuclear war within ~25 minutes of enemy ICBMs' launch. (Leaving say ~5 minutes to implement the decision.)

Do you have a source for that?

The sibling comment says Russia and USA have a prompt alert which can launch in under 15 minutes. Other articles say the US president could be contacted and approve in under 30 seconds, not sure how the Russian chain of command goes.

The decision process does not begin when nukes are detected of course, that's the end of the process. Pre agreed criteria have already been met. Quite likely there is no decision about entering a full scale nuclear war because they are already in one.

No, because it's pointless to legitimatize conspiratorial or fascistic views by engaging in a one-sided debate where one side is backed by scientific fact and the other is backed by Karen on facebook's idea that the election was stolen and that a COVID vaccine will kill you.

I would argue that there is no reason why freedom of speech should apply when you are actively trying to undermine the country (treason) and sow chaos/fear among the populace (terrorism).
> You can’t stop intolerance with tolerance, you will lose every time. Full stop.

I'm not proposing full tolerance of the intolerant. Rather, as Karl Popper explained, political institutions within a liberal democratic society are the most appropriate scope within which the people's will regarding what to tolerate is expressed. In other words, contact your representatives about what needs to be outlawed, and until something is outlawed, show liberal tolerance—which absolutely includes refuting bad ideas in public debate.

Regarding YouTube, their choice to deplatform people is their choice -- and it's not against the law, since they own the platform. I certainly disagree with the wisdom behind their choice. It's likely to cause more problems than it solves; but I'm tolerating it even as I argue against it in public debate.

Not in that sense. The VSCode extension didn't fork the debugger in question - it took the original code verbatim, and simply wrapped it into a DAP adapter.

Ironically, when we rewrote the Python debugger later, we did the same exact thing with pydevd (https://github.com/fabioz/PyDev.Debugger), and for the same reasons - why reinvent the wheel when you can take an existing one that's already better than anything you have? It's also better for the ecosystem, since improvements all flow upstream.
> I almost feel like people are siding with the anti-vaxxers out of "principle".

Part of the issue is the blanket characterization of everyone who doesn't verbatim repeat the preferred rhetoric of Youtube/Google as "anti-vaxxers". As everyone informed and intelligent knows, the government, the corporate media and the "intelligence agencies" have been, by far, the greatest disseminators of "disinformation" for decades. From the Bay of Tonkin to babies pulled from incubators to WMD in Iraq to Hunter Biden's laptop being a Russian plot. The problem is that this sort of disinformation is not only allowed, but amplified by these same corporate media outlets (and their government handlers) who claim that we desperately need to eliminate free speech. You want to fight disinformation? Teach people how to think critically and be necessarily skeptical of everything they are told, no matter what the source. Teach people how to examine evidence that underlies assertions, and reject assertions that are made without evidence (or, worse yet, claims of "secret evidence" that are rampant in corporate media and government sources). Except this is the opposite of what Google/Youtube and the government want. They want total control over the information flow, along with a low-information population that uncritically soaks up whatever propaganda they are saturated with. They don't want a population that is equipped with the tools needed to sort through the lies and bullshit - they just want to control which lies and what bullshit they are exposed to.
We had various project constraints and user demands that made most of those suggestions untenable. We used pagination in some places, but in others our users refused to accept it (they wanted Ctrl+F, fast browsing of huge datasets, etc). Writing a native app would have been miles outside the realm of possibility (we had a small team making a very complex product, none of us had native app experience, we needed to support multiple platforms, we specifically needed instances of our server to be able to serve up their own GUI, we needed to be able to interface with them from arbitrary remote machines without installing new software, etc).

Facebook, too.

I don't have an Oculus Quest 2 but have heard good things about it. But I can't get one because my Facebook account was shut down without explanation in 2019.

I repeatedly tried to verify my identity by submitting an image of my driver's license, without any response.

Permanent public health emergency. What is the long term plan? Our current vaxxing target (or boosting, I lost track) is at 98% of the population. Soon we'll be at 105% and beyond. Then what?

Edit: Reformulated for clarity (hopefully), quoting recent remarks by the President. Now that I read the transcript, the content is a bit muddy, but clearly he thinks 75% vaccination rate target is too small and 96/97/98 vaccination rate is laudable.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/20...

Q How many — how many Americans need to be vaccinated for us to go back to normal? Like what is the percentage of total vaccinations that have to be deployed?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, I think — look, I think we get the vast majority — like is going on in so many — some industries and some schools — 96, 97, 98 percent. I think we’re getting awful close. But I’m not the scientist.

I think — but one thing for certain: A quarter of the country can’t go unvaccinated and us not continue to have a problem.
"That "vaccine granted immunity" was a big one, it rapidly became less symptoms, and from that surreptitiously changed again to well you'll still have a week of feeling like shit if you catch covid, but you'll be less likely to die from it."

The world changed between the beginning of vaccine availability and today. New variants emerged from unvaccinated populations and some of those variants (Delta being the most prominent currently being reported) are able to evade the immune response generated by the vaccine (breakthrough infections). The guidance was updated to reflected newly available information -- would you prefer that the CDC ignore new data and just stick with its initial statements?

The reason we are far from normalcy is that since the beginning of this pandemic people have been refusing to do what they need to do to slow the spread. If people had done what health officials asked, we might have been closer to normalcy. Take your complaints to all those right-wing extremists in the media and the government who politicized a public health crisis and who continue to tell people to ignore the CDC.

Is this a standard that you've applied to all medical care you've ever received, or is this particular to this vaccine? For example, have you ever taken medicine or received a treatment that was invented in the past 50 years, and if so, why didn't you feel the need to wait for an entire human generation to go by first?
Is it the official stance of the CDC or WHO that a country with 99% of eligible adults double-vaccinated would have no need for masks, lockdowns, social distancing, travel restrictions or other restrictions?

I'm vaccinated, and in a country with 80% of people on two doses and 90% on one dose. But we still have a lot of cases, and a lot of people stuck on ventilators in hospitals.

The irony of private platforms censoring hate groups (for their own PR I might add; let's not forget that YouTube's algorithm famously favors alt-right content because weirdly enough algorithms that favor "engagement" tend to end up favoring lowest common denominator populist reactionary politics) is that it 1). Legitimizes the claims of groups that otherwise might sound like delusional paranoid conspiracy theorists, and 2). Forces these groups to adopt decentralized alternatives that make them even harder to do anything about. Tech companies engaging in performative content moderation is really just creating selection pressure that will ultimately create more resilient, technically competent hate groups that will also have an increasingly legitimate case to make for being persecuted by powerful organizations.
I suppose it means there was a difference but it was not statistically significant. Like 5% reduction with 10% certainty.
But it does fill up ICU beds. The vaccines are not very effective at stopping spread of the delta variant so the metaphor still holds.
This post should not be downvoted. These are legitimate concerns for half the US population. Whoever is poo-pooing this may disagree with these lies presented above.

>under microsofts control and works to wrench power from the user

I think that you and I are alike in that we care how we use a computer, what that computer is, what kind of software runs on it and so on. The key bit of empathy we need to understand the reason why most people use something that "works to wrench power from the user" as you put it, is that in fact most users want that powered wrenched from them because with power comes responsibility and for most people that juice is not worth the squeeze.

You can now create documents, communicate with people and consume entertainment (that is to say, most of what most people use a computer for) by doing little more than poking at a limited selection of large rectangles on a screen. Most people are happy with this and it's pretty hard to convince someone that they should spend time from their life on the effort of learning a new UI or an alternative operating system, or even think at all about what their operating system is. Honestly I get their position, and if I didn't care about computers I probably would not either.
I think this is a situation of "the perfect is the enemy of the good", or in this case, the better. Nobody is saying that would be a perfect system, just that it would be a hell of a lot better.
I agree in theory, but... we as a nation already crossed that boundary ages ago. Kids can't consent to anything, adults can't do certain drugs, adults also can't drink or smoke if they're under 21, and a lot of this isn't even recent. World War II saw the nation doing a lot of gymnastics to avoid letting people do things with their bodies. Further, we already ban certain forms of abortion, and it's not universally controversial that we do.

I think you're arguing from a fictional frame of reference.

Ideologically I'm somewhere in the right half of the spectrum, and even I'll admit that the state has absolutely taken the right to bodily autonomy, and I don't think it's a universally bad thing.

Vaccines are effective at reducing severity of the disease, sure, cold, hard data supports that. Masks though? In confined spaces like airplanes and especially if you did not even screen for basic symptoms like fever beforehand? LOL. Fact is, there is absolutely nothing standing in the way of a symptomatic COVID carrier getting onto a plane and infecting everyone inside. From which we can conclude that the masks are 2020 version of TSA: security theater aimed at pacifying the public and little else.
Dedicated ones, yes, but their numbers have declined significantly now that the phones can be activation locked.

Opportunistic ones likely won't have such a thing. My wife's phone was once stolen by someone at a hospital lab... after they'd checked in their kid. It was a fairly easy job for the cops to track that down.

The Delta variant is sufficiently contagious that we can't achieve any real herd immunity through vaccination. It's still important to get vaccinated to protect yourself.

https://www.businessinsider.com/delta-variant-made-herd-immu...

Those calculations of herd immunity threshold percentages were usually over simplified based on the assumption that immunity is a binary condition. But in reality while vaccinated people are less likely to suffer severe symptoms they can still get infected and spread the virus.

> So who should decide what moderation policies we have for the public?

There's three possibilities:

(1) No moderation at all, beyond what's illegal.

(2) Private voluntary self-regulation.

(3) Government censorship.

In my opinion, (2) is the lesser evil, which isn't to say that it doesn't have its own pitfalls. (1) is infeasible due to the 8chan experience, and our understanding of social contagion and human tribalism. (3) has a much bigger slippery slope risk.
