Regarding the actual EO itself, without a deep-dive, is a direct critique of the GSA directives and of the buildings they enabled. Specifically, that the new buildings built under those guidelines have been:

* often unpopular with Americans

* ranged from the undistinguished to... unappealing

* clashed with the existing local architecture, specifically classical architecture in Washington D.C.

* often selected... with little regard for local input or regional aesthetic preferences

* sometimes impresses the architectural elite, but not the American people who the buildings are meant to serve

* not even visibly identifiable as civic buildings

These are the buildings highlighted by the EO as examples:

* Hubert H. Humphrey Department of Health and Human Services Building :
<https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Hubert+H.+Humphrey+Department+of+H...>

* Robert C. Weaver Department of Housing and Urban Development Building : <https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Robert+C.+Weaver+Department+of+Hou...>

* San Francisco Federal Building : <https://duckduckgo.com/?q=San+Francisco+Federal+Building&iax...>

* Salt Lake City’s Federal Courthouse : <https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Salt+Lake+City%E2%80%99s+Federal+C...>

* George C. Young Federal Courthouse : <https://duckduckgo.com/?q=George+C.+Young+Federal+Courthouse...>

There were some exceptions, according to the EO, examples being:

* Tuscaloosa Federal Building : <https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Tuscaloosa+Federal+Building&iax=im...>

* Corpus Christi Federal Courthouse : <https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Corpus+Christi+Federal+Courthouse&...>

Interesting. What do you think?
Google has similarly bad business practices and beyond AWS and GCP there's Microsoft's Azure, which I don't think a lot of companies are keen on switching to.

Plus, most large companies care about profits. Not feelings or the death of a lowly worker. If you boycott the source you'll have to boycott the whole chain of things, and it'll have to be widespread and immediate for them to care.

I just don't see it happening. We're stuck with this timeline it seems :/

I don't believe this is the case at GDS, and wasn't the cause of the failure of the Gov.UK Verify project.

This is because of how apps display and center you, relative to your surroundings. If you navigate by a paper map, you trace your position along a route. If you make the same trip with a navigation app, it will constantly orient what it shows around your position in the center, so your brain finds it harder to map physical landmarks encountered on the trip to where they fit along the path, as you can't see the whole path.

Humans are very good at navigating by landmark, but apps/gps distract from learning and placing them relative to the entire trip.
No. Don’t use it.

More than 10 years ago most large companies were reliant upon JSP. The problem is that it forces front end concerns onto an army of developers who hated doing absolutely any work that was not 100% Java and you got a really expensive product of really shitty quality.

The excessive cost and low quality output were not directly caused by JSP, which was/is an excellent technology. This is a people problem (and verbose Java problem).

Over the last decade many of those companies have gone through a process called UI separation to purge JSP and forcefully separate Java from the front end. The primary concerns (self-inflicted injuries):

* Slow iteration. The UI that appears in the browser was almost never updated. I remember business leaders having fantastic ideas about improving the website and everything was fully mocked and documented. It never happened. The Java monorepo is where ideas go to die. It’s too verbose, too large, and many of the people writing in it were horrible. They really really didn’t want to dick around with front end logic that they didn’t really understand or appreciate in the first place. Any UI code that made it out was a miraculous blessing that was there forever.

* Law suits over accessibility. Since the UI was shitty AND never updated it only just barely worked for common users and only sometimes worked cross browser. As a result setting any competent expectations was a lost cause and these law suits were almost certainly a class-action win for the plaintiffs if they didn’t lose out to regulation first.

* Law suits over security. Security on the web was largely a lost cause and thought of as an unnecessary expense. The only reason to consider security was to avoid embarrassment, but otherwise it was entirely the users problem. Then credit card companies stated they would stop processing transactions from sites that failed the most embarrassing of security problems according to their PCI specification. Security was only lightly concerned with the front end, but still required updates that would never come.

As a parallel look up Google WebToolkit. This was a utility that compiled Java into JavaScript so that Java developers could produce something they never wanted to understand. What could possibly go wrong? Everything was fire and forget because the output was highly optimized obfuscation. Most of the time the Java developers had no idea what they were doing with their input and the output was completely indecipherable, so any changes meant a complete rewrite and throwing away large blocks of code without consideration for testing. Again, what could possibly go wrong?
So in these situations, is the leader responsible for the death of the employee? What kind of consequences are there for this type of behavior?
It doesnt matter where the data is coming from, it matters what it is able to do. As always with security, if the server attempts to protect the client app by emulating its behaviour, it will go wrong (as the server is never able to emulate the client perfectly). This is a problem in most of the magic black security boxes (WAF, IPS, DLP etc.).

The browser knows if a certain piece of data will perform execution or not, as it is the software implementing the functionality. It is the correct app to ask, as it is the one being exploited.
I remember installing WordPress 2 years ago. Default schema had 7 tables with 3 different naming conventions.
I agree. If the housing issue were solved we could probably do away with a lot of other bandaids.
Well, you know, Brendan Eich was CEO of Mozilla and they were flying high.

Then he got cancelled, and with it was cancelled the dream of having a real platform that can compete with Google. (Brave, with all of its advantages, is still a fork of Chrome and in that way promotes the Chrome monopoly.)

Since then, the new CEO of Mozilla has made herself a lot of money, and she seems perfectly happy to destroy the long term viability of the company for some quick injections of cash that can justify her bonuses.

And Eich single-handedly created the only other viable browser in the market starting from scratch [market wise, not technology wise]. Yet, somehow, people still think this was better than leaving Eich as head of Mozilla.

And? Is your solution to legalize crime? That hasn't worked well in the big west coast cities, has it?

By arresting people who vandalize vending machines. As long as vending machines continue to be vandalized, we haven't arrested enough people for that crime.
Some of the referenced benchmarks are by Jens himself. That's the problem. He has promoted tweets and press releases touting io_uring as being insanely fast when the benchmarks used to come to those conclusions were flawed to begin with.

That's literally the entire point I'm making.

You mean like opinions, fads, cargo-cult, etc?

Non technical leadership is just as susceptible to this. They’re just influenced by different people.
Static type systems don't imply fully dependent types. In Kotlin:

sealed class Program
class HaltingProgram : Program()
class InfiniteProgram : Program()

fun checkIsHalting(p: ByteArray) = if (halts(p)) HaltingProgram() else InfiniteProgram()

This program will type check just fine. The inferred return type will be Program because that's the nearest shared ancestor type of both possible return types. Good luck implementing the halts() function of course, but that's not the type system's problem.
Because I'm not a good English speaker, I'm sorry about that
1 GHz allows for photon to move 3 m per cycle in vacuum. 10 GHz is 30 cm. Even less in fiber cable. I think that's a fundamental restriction of a size of an individual computing module. Of course you can stack modules in entire buildings just like you can stack cpus in servers in data center now.
This is for sanitizing content generated client-side which might not touch server at all. You can create HTML and put it into the DOM on the client
I don't think it was the cause of failure for the Verify project.

But I do think it is the case at the GDS, as evidenced by the comment on this page:

> GDS is full of mostly django based systems, some legacy ruby and that's just the stuff from the last few years.
Going back further there are various C# systems, the amount of separate systems is staggering, it's not too surprising costs add up

And this blog post:

> ...quickly agreed that rather than try to settle on a single one of those we'd build each tool using whichever technology would most quickly get us to a relatively-durable prototype, and then "federate" them. We started with the python-based framework Django for the Department pages, added Ruby on Rails for a suite of tools focussed on specific tasks, and used Sinatra (another ruby framework) to glue together our search.

How much would you be willing to work if you'd have to pay rent, credits, take care that your wife and children get enough to eat? Also there's some bills because your wifes' car broke down and needed repair, the children need new clothes and there's this school trip coming up and also the roof is leaky and needs to be fixed which you can't do by yourself.

Long term short: While it's easy to judge from the outside, people will put their health in second place a lot of times if there are other problems.

> Sounds bad, but imagine the warehouse manager would've helped the guy and gotten COVID-19!

Isn't Amazon testing warehouse employees for COVID-19 whenever they enter their premises?

Nevertheless, unless Amazon treats their employees like utter crap, showing any symptom of COVID-19 would be grounds to just let them go on sick leave no questions asked. Instead, the newspiece states that the manager of the deceased was making him run laps.
I’ve always wondered why nobody’s ever set up a porn-for-hire business (maybe they have) to hide a prostitution business behind whatever laws make pornography legal.

It’d essentially be an escort service where the “John” finances the “shoot” renting your room, equipment, and the girl’s time. They could then take their film and destroy it or distribute it.
And of course, like any responsible party leader in those days, Jefferson helped set up at least one newspaper to serve his party's interests.

I highly disagree. I think everyone else is underpaid.

Bank of America’s California Partnership Roiled by Unemployment Fraud

It does seem that to “get ahead” in this world it helps to have sociopathic tendencies.
We have a supply crunch. The way that works out is that those in the supply crunch can ask for more, and those outside it ask for more but end up not getting it. Plans are forced into reality by market action - which is how capitalism works.

The result will be some firms failing and some people transferred to the unemployment queue. Since we have a system where the threat of unemployment is used to tame wage claims, that is where it will end - with those thrown on the unemployment queue taking the real loss in their consumption.

There is a rebalancing going on. Certain labour is scarce. Prices of that labour will therefore rise until excess demand is eliminated. The excess demand is the wages of those currently being paid who will end up on the unemployment queue when the firm they work for doesn't get the price rises they planned to get, and can't therefore pay the current price for their supply.
I don't know if most Rust programmers would be happy with any fast and loose features making it into the official Rust compiler.

Besides, algorithms that benefit from -ffast-math can be implemented in C and with Rust bindings automatically generated.

This solution isn't exactly "simple", but it could help projects keep track of the expectations of correctness between different algorithm implementations.

I feel like you're missing something in your historical awareness. Hint: it has something to do with the kapo comment and the comparison of places like Treblinka and Sobibor to an Amazon warehouse.
It's pleasing to see this kind of...is arcana the right kind of word?

We once visited an SMK Agama school because they were having trouble explaining their issue to the support desk. They were creating Word documents with a custom Jawi TTF that was...weird (sometimes it was one-to-one with sensible ASCII equivalents, but ligatures seemed to be implemented in completely random parts of the Unicode space). Nobody really seemed to know where the TTF came from either, it just sort of bounced around the aether via email, Dropbox, and ancient Google results.

They were naturally confused that copying and pasting perfectly "legible" Jawi script from Word into our <textarea> was rendering it into gibberish.

But half of us had never even heard of Jawi, we just assumed it was Arabic (but it isn't, apparently, it's more subtle than that).

We didn't quite want to commit to supporting the font directly, because it opens all sorts of questions about what to do if the receiving user doesn't have that font installed, how many fonts do we support, what if there's another font that uses different mappings (which there was)?

We did, however, produce a document that pointed to https://www.pendidik2u.my/cara-betul-install-jawi-di-kompute... with some custom explanatory text and steps, to support users who wanted to write Jawi directly in a more Unicode-friendly way (we didn't call it that, we just explained that other users "wouldn't need the font", which they approved of).

I'm not sure how many users this ultimately helped, or if they just gave up and embedded Word docs instead of using native platform text, and it's unfortunate that there isn't a more formal, one-click-install keyboard for this on the Microsoft Store.

(I also seem to remember a Tamil user who said that there might be a section of Unicode called "Tamil", but it's missing a tonne of characters they would like to use, so Unicode still has some way to go I guess)

But it is one of my favourite bug reports :)

Yes, but technology makes the dictatorial regimes more efficient, and increases their reach. Now just imagine a slightly different timeline than our own, in which the coup in January succeeded. Now President for Life Trump takes all Alexa files (and similar from Google and Apple) in existence and scan them for people calling him an asshole. Those people will never get a government job again. If you happened to have called his regime illegal, you get some people in uniform knocking on your door.
Disagree on Goodfellow, personally I found it the most approachable introduction to neural networks & backprop. To be fair, I think this must have been the pre-GAN edition so maybe it's changed a bit since then.

That's not how this works. How it works is like this: we have some expectations about what things should cost, if something is wildly deviant from the regular market rate then that's worth looking into.

Great article, here's the first in the series: https://miklos-martin.github.io/learn/fp/category-theory/201...
This worked great for cpu's as 'doubling' was just a bit shift left 'x' number of times - very fast.

Except that you'd get a summation with the number of terms equal to the number of bits in the source operands. Multiplication in a CPU only seems very fast because the theory is simple. Building a fast multiplier in silicon requires a lot of area and a lot of interconnect, because you don't require "just" a massive addition table, you also need carry lookahead logic to perform fast carry propagation otherwise you get no speed increase.

A naive multiplier in a CPU requires 1 cycle per result bit (multiplying two 32-bit numbers requires 32 additions, then you need to wait another 32 cycles for full carry propagation). That's very slow, in CPU terms.

Shadertoy Show Predator Effect
I'm the product manager for https://maas.io and the author of this tutorial, would be awesome to get feedback and suggestions.

The idea was to make it much faster to get hands on with MAAS since not everybody can easily build a physical environment. I decided to use Multipass because of the cloud-init support.

I hoped I could get it to work easily on windows and mac, but had a few issues with nested VMs there. I'm thinking about how to un-nest them, but it might require a few multipass VMs on a bridge. Edit: I have had reports it works fine on Windows with Hyper-V.

Anyway the tutorial as it is should work just fine on Ubuntu for now. I hope people actually try it :).

People might also find the cloud-init setup interesting, auto installing MAAS, auto configuring it, setting up LXD, etc.
I was part of a startup accelerator at one point and one stream was technology commercialization. A professor was pitching us on his technology for more efficiently shipping wood pellets across the ocean (I live in Canada) to displace coal in the UK.

The "inconvenient truth" with Undefined Behaviour is that it provides essential wiggle room for the compiler to implement some optimizations that wouldn't be possible with a stricter specification. Of course the downside is that sometimes the compiler goes too far and removes critical code (which AFAIK is still a hot discussion topic how much compilers should be allowed to exploit UB for optimizations).
So how did the demographics of the USA changed since the 1970s?
>world GDP per capita is about $11K ($17K PPP)

That number is being dragged down by a huge number of people in global poverty. There is enough potential here to get to $30k PPP and I'd say that would be enough "wealth" for the vast majority of people.
I'd completely agree with you if MagSafe was the only solution, but my USB-C cord has been kicked accidentally multiple times in the last few years.

Not a whole lot of consequences after they were found to employ self-proclaimed neonazis to keep literal slaves working in a German warehouse either. Amazon is irredeemable and nobody should buy anything from them.
Unfortunately, legal sex work is often exploited as a safe haven for human trafficking. High end escorting is actually likely to be at the lower end of risk, but is ultimately too tiny of a niche for policymakers to care about preserving.
I did not make any such assumptions, and I did not say it’s zero risk, I simply said that the risks are likely to decrease as hourly rates go higher.
What Is NFT?
In general, it works like this: you notice a company is fucked up, and you leave. In theory, you could go to a competitor who offers better work conditions.

You don't go working in an Amazon warehouse if you have other options in life. It's for people who lost hope, in a way. According to the article, the family was very poor and the wife feels guilty he died trying to provide for her meds.

She describes in the article how she was essentially raped. Can you explain how legalized prostitution would have helped her in that situation? Because it seems to me that there is no way the guy would have been convicted of rape. Furthermore, future johns would avoid her if they knew that she had filed charges against a previous customer. Having sex with men for money is inherently dangerous and I don't think legalization really makes it much safer.
