How crazy would it be to take something like this, compile it with ClojureScript and embed it in something like TiddlyWiki? I could see something like that being a nice way to hyperlink the more static documentation to the calculated results.
Too true. I'm just wondering whether an ecosystem with better design and first-class developer tooling (unified linting, formating and compiler and native module system) might be easier than having to learn the Node.js/TS/Prettier/ESLint stack, even if pointers and memory management might seem a bit scarier at first.

About a decade ago, as an intern helping research this, I developed an app to manually tag processes as "big core only" or "little core only" etc. This was for the QuickIA[0], which had a Xeon in one socket and an Atom in the other. It was fun to kick off a gigantic compression task and watch the "expected time to completion" progress bar change dramatically when you migrated the process between sockets.

You all would probably find the "QuickIA Software Support" section interesting, they go through a few issues you run into when you have incompatible micro architectures running in a single system. It also might help illuminate where Intel's head was at during the early research phase of creating a heterogeneous processor.

Could you explain what that means, for someone unfamiliar with phone tech or the US approach to activation?

Naively I would think the SIM card functions as a sort of API to the carrier network, and as long as a phone supports that API, carriers should not know or care what type of phone it is. They shouldn't even know if the SIM has changed phones, so from that perspective, there should be no such thing as 'activating' a phone, only a SIM (though I don't know what exactly is meant by 'activating' in the first place).

Any deviation from this reeks of carrier abuse.

Might I recommend Three Felonies a Day by Harvey A. Silverglate?

The felony per day comes from two angles. One, when the magnitude of the felony is small, but still a felony nonetheless. If I find a twenty dollar bill on the sidewalk and fail to report that as income, I'm technically committing tax evasion. The government would never find out and no reasonable prosecutor would come after me, but it is a crime nonetheless.

The other angle comes from ambiguously worded laws or overly broad laws. The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act is a notorious example. Breaking a ToS can count as a violation of this law. Exceeding your access or permission level is also notoriously fraught with selective enforcement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Fraud_and_Abuse_Act

I want to say that based on your response, I don't believe that you are arguing in good faith, but I will give you the benefit of the doubt.

I didn't change the subject. I rejected your claim that touching someone without permission is a microagression. It's not, it falls on a spectrum of harassment to assault, depending on who you touch, where you touch them, and where you are when you do it. That's not a microagression.

> "microrape"

Unless we are talking about moths, please provide a serious academic or published document that actually proposes this as a generally accepted term. I confess that the first time I saw it, I thought you being flippant, but it appears that you actually think this is a commonly used or generally accepted term.

I spent some time reading about the term, and asking about it among the D&I folks that I know, and based on that, it's not really a thing that people are concerned with, and aside from some fringe groups on the edges of D&I activism. Most references are related to some shitty humour on reddit and other sites meant to mock folks rather than engage in actual discourse.

Aside from your use of the term, I think the question you are really asking is "Does a 'dirty look' count as sexual harassment?", and the answer is, yes, depending on the jurisdiction. I already said that.

> "intent doesn't matter"

Yeah, intent doesn't matter. This isn't a new concept - look up the etymology of the phrase "The Road to hell is paved with good intentions."; it's a well understood concept and proverb that dates back at least 500 years, farther if you torture some of the translations and transliterations. This isn't to say that intent doesn't actually matter, its a slogan that illustrates that even well intentioned actions that have a negative outcome are still the responsibility of the person who took the action, and that positive intent doesn't balance out negative outcomes.

That said, it doesn't really matter what your opinion is on D&I activism, or your thoughts on the role they play in business. I fall back to my original statement that the vast majority of D&I training and related activities are risk mitigation activities.

If you don't want to change your beliefs, that's fine. Just act like a decent human being, and treat others with respect while you are operating in a professional context.

As for the rest of your claims, it is obvious to me that you are more concerned with your perceived harms to your own freedoms than you are with considering the perspectives of others - unless you have something more meaningful and evidence based to add to the conversation, there isn't much point to continuing it.
Absolutely, that would probably be more fun too in terms of dialogue too ;)

Your comment is pretty unrelated to the article. It sounds like you're talking about a simple sending of cryptocurrency from one business or individual or another, but that's not what the article is talking about.

It is impossible to report "who" you received an asset from if you received it from a smart contract that is not under the control of any one business or individual. In the cases of most defi contracts, the assets involved are pooled from many thousands of individuals and act as a sort of autonomous market maker.

Cases where criminals obfuscate simple transfers are already prosecuted under money laundering laws, and they are very easy to prosecute because blockchains are a completely open record for anyone to data-mine.

If research into and use of financial smart contracts should be shut down immediately in the US, let them debate and make a law about that. Don't sneak it into a monster bill and pretend that it's about something entirely different.

I wish it was easier to use no framework at all, no angular, vue, react ... but still benefit from npm/yarn package management, development server with hot reload and maybe even a test runner. As someone who only occasionally needs to build relatively simple frontends against existing APIs, using full-blown angular/react/vue just seems so wasteful. But the last time I tried to put such a setup together, I just couldn't make all the parts (yarn, webpack, jest, ...) work together, and lots of the various plain JS "starter" projects out there are broken as well. It's pretty bewildering – shouldn't this sort of thing be easy? Is there some kind of a vue-cli for frameworkless projects, or how do people get started building more lightweight web apps?

I may just be an old school Node.js developer but I don't like using frameworks like NestJS and Prisma. Like you said they don't give you very much flexibility outside of the "chosen path".

I think in order for students to learn they should be using lower level packages directly. So something like Express or Koa + the SQL driver directly. Learning the core concepts underneath is more valuable to students than learning a specific ORM or framework that abstracts all the details away.

Learning how to deal with dependencies is a similar thing. I don't think any course would be complete if it teaches Node without also teaching how to build a Dockerfile to package up your application and the snapshot of it's NPM dependencies as a container image.

Building a compiled binary with Rust or Go is one language specific way to solve the problem of packaging dependencies, but you have an opportunity to also teach students a general purpose tool like Docker container images, which can be used to solve lots of different dependency packaging and distribution problems, not just for NPM, but also your static files, your specific runtime binary versions, any system packages you might need, etc.
I've noticed that I get worse hunger if I eat more often, especially if I just eat bread to postpone the hunger. For some reason, the hunger I feel when on a lower-carb diet is much less pressing, and can be easily ignored for quite a while.

Carbs are also addictive to me: I sometimes notice that I want to eat even when I know I'm not hungry, so I have to make sure I don't make snacks too available.

Most days, I just eat once because it's an easy rule to stick to. I might have a snack if I've taxed my brain and feel like I need the extra fuel, but usually one meal is plenty.

The site reads from another era. There are some things like "Fravia+" that sometimes feel from an era that never existed. One person from Greece contacted me on Facebook, of all places, because I had something on Fravia+. I grew fond of that person and almost met them in Athens when I went to Greece (to meet another person I knew on the internet after a week of meetings in Paris where I said: "screw it, let's just do it"), because we shared one bit of an almost lost memory of the internet. It truly is special.
The USA may take the concept of "collection of laws bundled together" a bit too far for comfort, but such concept implemented with more moderation is a good one, I may even say a necessary one. Laws often have dependencies between them, a change in one "concern" may affect another negatively, or may simply not bring the desired good without changes to the other one. So it makes sense to bundle such concerns into a all or nothing deal. A simple example would be a bill to build a shipping port in a remote location being bundled with a bill to build a railway and a roadway to said remote location; if one is passed without the other you end up with a useless port or a useless road/railroad.

>"Say you take your money put it in a bank account, the bank lends that money out again. Are you responsible for knowing the recipient? No. I imagine the same will be extended to putting money into a swap pool or DEX."

My read of this law is that the bank or recipient of your money would be required to make the report (as they are the 'possessor'), which appears to already be the case (so-called KYC laws). I think you may be underestimating the amount of regulatory compliance that the government requires of many businesses.

I agree with your general point, but I think you're overstating it a bit.

Global warming doesn't pose a human extinction or civilizational collapse level threat in the next century. Tens or hundreds of millions of deaths, untold quantities of suffering, habitat destruction, and huge economic losses are within reason, but humanity would take that on the chin and carry on. 80 million young men, many from wealthy countries, died fighting in WW2, and European infrastructure took a huge hit. You can barely notice the impact on a global gdp chart, and it's invisible on population.

Abortion may also have long term consequences, though they would almost certainly be less severe. Genetics that are beneficial to humanity may also increase abortion likelihood- eg. educated women are more likely to be intelligent and to abort compared to the general population. Or the inverse, genes that act against abortion may be bad for humans at large- eg. whatever makes people fundamentalist. But these are just speculations, and it may even wind up being beneficial.

I agree that the two are not on the same order of magnitude, but it's less cut and dry than comparing zero and infinity.
