I'd have to ask, do liability damages have to be 100 mil per person? Why can't they be significantly less, IE more commensurate to a reasonable (surely never 100% accurate) assessment of the rough economic value of damages actually inflicted?

If we cannot save millions of lives with meds without the following drawbacks:

-Inadequate recourse for many of those suffering harmful side effects.

-The effective re-distribution of the people's wealth to the harmed individual to spackle over the damage should harmful effects occur.

-Infringing on the rights of human beings to prevent them from taking medical procedures they want to preserve corporate bottom lines.

Then beyond it being fair for a vaccine company to go under, I believe it would be just for the entire legal and civic system to collapse to be rebuilt by a structure that respects both human liberty and dignity. I believe it's a cycle that will happen again and again, every time, until we get it right and can finally keep millions of people safe enough to living meaningful enough lives without trampling their rights and without encouraging them to become too weak to preserve them. And further, I don't think we're ever actually going to get it right as a species, so things like this are going to happen, once in a long lifetime.

Yes and many state houses were attacked on Jan 6 the weeks leading up to that, people closed a state legislature. Combine those and public schools with rising violence at private-sector workplaces (YouTube, VTA, clerks shot dead over masks)

The revolution is here in the form of workplace violence. Big employers are actually afraid to comment for fear of looking biased against the GOP

Before React 18, it was possible to get multiple renders depending on where your calls to set state occurred. Inside different event loops, async calls, etc would lead to multiple renders even if they all settled within a few ms of each other and before a render occurred. The batching algorithm wasn’t aware of each asynchronous context.

In React 18 I believe this is mostly fixed.

> I have the feeling that Haskell has one feature that could be super useful for security.

>

> That feature is the explicit typing of effects via monads. Just look at the recent log4j example: If effects were explicitly typed in Java, you would potentially scratch your head why you need a network monad or a "insert code into the process" effect to just log a line.

That would not have helped - the network access with RCE was a feature put into the library. What does the language selection have to do with a feature request of "We want evaluated log strings to be able to do network access with RCE"?

There's nothing special in any language (even Haskell) that will prevent this sort of thing.
The term “GitHub flow” existed prior to the Microsoft acquisition. The GitHub documentation history would be definitive, but you can find articles dating back to 2014 discussing GitHub Flow vs GitFlow. The acquisition was in 2018.

I agree that the name isn’t the best. It is however at least specific. “Trunk based development” encompasses a class of development processes. Although I don’t think I’ve ever actually described a real world process as “GitHub Flow” because almost no one knows what it specifically is anyway.

Disclosure: I work for Microsoft.
It will be more like Pascal and Ada than something like C or Rust.

I think Non-programmers would want programming to be more graphical, Diagram Dataflow and Graph-like with the help of "script" / functions describing actions. Something like the how current Game Engine are structured.

May be Game Engine should be programming engine.
When you leave a job, voluntarily or not, it's amazing how long it takes for that job to leave your mental system. A year later I still find myself occasionally wondering whether a project went well or more recently after I left I'd still have the monthly work schedule in my mind. It requires discipline/distraction to free yourself!
I'll believe it when I see it. I recently got an iPad, and sideloading apps is a ridiculous endeavor that involves a server app (that depends on iTunes and thus only works on macOS and Windows) that has to re-sign your sideloaded apps once every 7 days.

And regarding Microsoft, while I certainly embrace them being more open than before, VS Code still has proprietary bits, and you'll need to run your own extension store if you don't want to use those (which the VSCodium project does, I think). Of course, that's not even mentioning the forced telemetry in Windows...

Now that this is moving the goal posts. Lots of people go missing and die for unknown reasons, including non-violent ones.

The issue with "disappearing" is that it is done by coordinated groups (including the prison-industrial complex). It is not that we don't know precisely how the victims got hurt.
Sorry, but I have stopped using "developers don't like this" as a measure of the technical quality of anything. A lot of developers like things that are pleasurable to them in the small, but harmful to the codebase in the aggregate, especially over years of maintenance cycles.

And it's not an insult, people are clearly insecure about their biases, even you for being unable to address a very clear point and immediately taking solace in playing a wannabe mod to somehow invalidate the actual point.

You have biases, I have biases. We all have biases.

Some people hear one guy give their career history with one accent, they hear another guy give it to you with a country twang, and they interpret it differently. They see one guy who's real old and one guy who looks 18 say the same thing and they subtly interpret differently.

That doesn't make you racist or ageist it makes you human. We're not robots raised in a vacuum and covered in Teflon so we never let biases from a million sources from upbringing to media rub off on us.

This incredible insecurity that white males (amongst others, but most openly expressed due to the fear the tech industry is now oppressing them) have picked up about ever admitting they're not robots is infuriating as a black man.

Because the moment you bury your head in the sand like this, you're almost deciding "I will continue to be biased and make no attempt whatsoever to fix it"

Like fuck, you're actually going to pretend there are no candidates at all that you maybe get a little excited about because you feel like you connect with them on a personal level in a way that benefits from having a shared culture and is maybe not so helped by being from different cultures???

Because if you are I can tell you it's bullshit:https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/11/121129093008.h...

What a person actually interested in dealing with this problem does is accept that, yup I did end up shooting the shit with this candidate, that did improve my image of them a tiny bit, let me look at my feedback again and remove anything that was influenced by that.

9 times out if 10 HR is trying to do this for people and suddenly they act like the tech industry is now built on affirmative action, white men are unable to get ahead (lol) and any non-white-male with a heartbeat is getting hired for walking through the door.

If you have to ask how to install this lib you don't need this lib.

As bad as Python's env management may be your questions is pretty dishonest.
"Ergonomics" is super vague, so let me give one concrete example. From reddit [0]:

"I'm running Ubuntu so I installed ghc and cabal-install, then installed stack (since people are recommending that) by running their script. Then I found out that haskell-platform is the blessed route (and contains stack) so I uninstalled ghc, cabal, stack and installed that instead. Stack was not installed along with haskell-platform (what? why? ugh... whatever), so I reinstalled it manually.

Great, now I have the tooling all set up! Slightly more irritating than other languages, but it's there.

Now to build my app; I want to give websockets a whirl so I grabbed the server example and stuck it in a newly created stack project (stack new foo worked well) as app/Main.lhs and re-pointed foo.cabal to look at the .lhs extension. Ok, next step is to build it, stack build - it complains that I don't have websockets installed, ok, stack install websockets - it whirrs away for a while downloading stuff and then finishes. That was easy. stack build - same error, still no websockets (???). I take a look through the stack.yml and foo.cabal files and can't find websockets mentioned anywhere (in NodeJS I'd have done npm install --save websockets and it would have both installed the lib local to the project and updated the packages.json file appropriately - same sort of thing with Python via pip + freeze). Presumably I missed the '--save' or equivalent, but I don't see anything like this in the stack install -h docs.

I hop onto irc for help, and am informed that you don't stack install project dependencies; that installs global packages (huh? I thought stack was supposed to help in keeping things local... whatever). Then I find that I have to edit the foo.cabal file manually to add my deps - seriously? Wow. Ok... So I do that (in the wrong place, then eventually in the right place) and finally my stack build works. Awesome! But also grrrr! Why are there two config files talking about libs and how am I supposed to know which one I'm meant to add stuff to?

As an aside there's also the expectation that I should figure out which versions of libs are snapshotted on stackage, but searching on the website funnels me through to hackage (via hoogle) and gives me no indication on the way as to what snapshots they have. I ended up finding the snapshot listings on stackage and using ctrl+f in the browser to figure that out - after checking my stack.yaml to work out what snapshot list I should be looking at. Seriously. These leaps are crazy :)"

I should point out this is from 5 years ago. Probably things are better now. But some things are not, e.g. installing Haskell on Arch Linux [1].

Sure, because no one has 5.8 years of cash on hand, its almost an impossible target for most. 2 years of cash is possible though. Even the ability to put down 6 months of cash would have a massive impact on a loan for 2x your salary and not so much on a loan for ~6x salary.

Not paying attention to the total and only focusing on the monthly payment is how most people get into future crushing debt and very much not a good thing.

> Except, that doesn't tell the story for the majority of Americans. Housing costs are WAY up in cities as Americans migrate to where the jobs are, while housing costs are down in all the areas where jobs are disappearing. In practise, housing costs are actually significantly up for most Americans, but because the CPI is calculated across the entire nation, the government can claim inflation is low.

I think this is basically wrong in that it's only true for a minority of Americans -- the kind that are overrepresented on this forum. If you're in tech or finance or law, then there are big payoffs to moving to San Francisco or New York, but this actually isn't the case for the typical American. When you compare cost of living it's clear pretty quickly that the median American is still doing just fine in the vast middle of the country.

The median household income in the NYC metro is $83,160 and the typical home costs $571,556. In St. Louis, say, the median household income is $66,417 and the typical home is $222,076. For the average American, the second option is a much better deal. Sure, you make $16k more in NYC, but does anybody believe that the entire cost difference between the two metros is $16k per year? It's not even close. The median American is much better off in St. Louis.

A lot of people reading this are in households that make many times the median household income and they have understandably concluded that their best options are in a few costal cities. But it simply isn't true for the typical American.

There's kind of a dual (seemingly contradictory) error here in that people both under- and over-estimate how wealthy the U.S. is. They overestimate in that they forget that the majority of Americans are living on much less than the average software engineer, but they underestimate in that they forget that our poorest states are still much wealthier than than the average European country.

> I learned C from a couple of textbooks, and C++ (such as it was in 1993) from a book published by the company that sold me the compiler.

You ignored that part of my argument about only the rich world having high quality libraries. What if you'r from India or Africa or even rural America? Now even a poor Indian can solve Hackerrank challenges on his phone. It's not as easy or as convenient but it's much better than his prospects 30 years ago.
You're kidding, right? I was hoping after so many years it's clear. GDPR is about personal information. First, if you have no way of linking the IP to personal information, it does not apply. Second, even if it's linked (as in a web store etc.), storing it is perfectly fine! You just need to clearly state what information you store and for how long.

Everybody, also in the EU, are storing IP addresses. Everybody. Even the company who bragged they don't store logs for privacy reasons was caught storing them. It is important, it is necessary, and in many cases required by law.

It’s a delusional if you think that in the 50s, there were American agents intimidating their citizens abroad for talking about the Tulsa race massacre.

The idea that it is OK for it to take another 50 years before the Chinese can talk about Tiananmen without fear of state reprisal, seems to be an apology for totalitarian oppression.
Not mine. It gets kind of interesting when there are a lot of emojis in the tweet because they get expanded, as in the emoji becomes the descriptive name for it, like American flag hand clap hand clap heart laughing out loud. This causes it to become too long.

Let's compare them:

The Tiananmen Square massacre killed off the Chinese democracy movement which challenged the CCP for national power. It set a new course for Chinese government, that it is still more or less on.

The Tulsa massacre was a local race riot, with little impact outside Oklahoma.
"China is very consequentialist, they care about prosperity and success over everything else."

1. I'm not sure what consequentialism means.

2. They care more that just about prosperity, and success.

Xi financial/educational reforms prove the opposite.

a. He doesn't like gambling.

b. He limited tutoring so poor kids could have a fighting chance.

c. He clipped the wings of the narcisstic billionaires.

d. He demanded more honesty in a companies financials.

These are off the top of my head. There are qualities about Xi, and I imagine there people, that are not just about financial success.

Plus--Socialism is not about wealth.

Yeah I would definitely be wary about this. A self-hosted option, even if not open sourced, seems like a no-brainer to me. Nothing wrong with providing it as a SaaS as well.

Also being in the EU the first thing I look at is where the company is based and/or where they host my data, but I've trawled through this site and cannot seem to find a company address anywhere or details of their hosting setup? Nor is there a single "Security" page which outlines their credentials and security measures. I feel like these are critically important for a business like this which needs to build trust with potential customers.

The website design looks superb though and the product is definitely interesting.

EDIT: Ah noticed on the jobs page that they're in Ireland, but looks like their app front-end is hosted on Vercel and (per below) backend on AWS.

EDIT: And further confusion from the "Evervault Inc" in the footer and "Evervault Ltd" on Privacy Policy page. I'm not clear if this is an Irish company (and therefore covered by EU law) or a US company? These details are important for potential European customers.
As a Chinese-American proud of my heritage, I have to scoff at the white man's attempt to again portray themselves as beacons of "good" and "freedom". You are not so noble. The open secret is that China is the greatest threat to Western hegemony, or more specifically, white supremacy. For the last 500 years the world has been ruled by white people, and now China offers the colored people of the world a glimmer of hope. A rising China will uplift all Asians. China will rise and be a great nation, reunify with Taiwan, and become the richest country. Then we will see what your so-called "freedom" gets you.
> The ownership model is a pretty complex thing to learn

It is, but if you want to write C or C++ that doesn't crash, or just silently work incorrectly then you have to internalise these rules anyway. And having a compiler that gives you a helpful error message when you get it wrong is much easier than getting a segfault at runtime that may not even occur in a proximate part of the code. Let me put it this way: in 5 years of using Rust I am yet to need a debugger, and only need even println debugging rarely.
I think we underestimate them, but they also underestimate themselves (I hear a lot of "I can't..." by people who definitely can, once that word is in their head they no longer can but because of the mental block).

Also, there was a major difference between what the secretaries would have been using before troff and their experience with troff. In particular, at that time, they were probably using typewriters. A digital workflow would have been a massive improvement in experience. Need multiple copies? No more carbon copies or retyping, now it just comes off the printer (which may still use a carbon copy, but at least you don't have to retype it). Need to adjust something? At least for future printouts it's just changing the file, and maybe using whiteout and handwriting the correction in a few printouts. Want to reflow the entire page? On a typewriter you start over, with troff you edit.

Today, people have Word and Google Docs, why do they need troff/Markdown/TeX/LaTeX/Asciidoc/org-mode/etc.?

The experience, for the user, is not as qualitatively different as those secretaries would have experienced at the time. Not just secretaries, my parents (a pilot and an engineer) took to computers in the 1970s (in college)/1980s (work, later home) for the same reason, it was a better experience than using typewriters and hand calculating things (even with a calculator).
Effects can definitely help, but a strong type system allows you to encode security concerns for compile time feedback as well.
