Funny that you mention maps, because mapping information in China is heavily censored, and has been since 2002[0]. They even wrote their own coordinate-obfuscation algorithm so that you can't mix Chinese and western map data or GPS coordinates and get accurate positions on both sides.

Apple's response to the "what if governments force you to abandon the hidden set intersection stuff you wrote" thing is, "well we'll just say no". Which, unless Apple plans to pull out of hostile jurisdictions entirely or levy their own private military[1], holds no weight. Countries own their internal markets in the same way Apple owns the App Store market.

The US constitution was an agreement among the states to delegate power to a federal government. State governments had absolute power. Any powers not specifically delegated to the newly created federal government through the constitution were obviously retained by the states.

Incorporation doctrine after the 14th amendment is just an extension of the federal government saying "well if states agreed to the 14th amendment and the 14th amendment says privileges and immunities of us citizens can't be infringed, then the states are logically giving up whatever extra powers they held previously to not respect rights enumerated in the constitution". It's a bit dubious but it helped clean up the mess of slavery.

The point being that prior to Incorporation, the bill of rights was irrelevant to states. State governments didn't have to respect your right to free speech or guns or jury trials or anything (unless the constitution of that state required it to). So game wardens had plenty of power. Incorporation doctrine has had a long, messy history and it's possible that no one has specifically challenged game wardens power in the right way to trigger a review of it constitutionally.

Yeah I still don't get this. I hate that I can't secure a Macbook. But pretty much every cheap laptop comes with a kensington lock hole.

I've wanted a Result type I could map over in Go as soon as I saw the idea. But someone recently pointed out, without pattern matching and early return, it's kind of nerfed. Not sure I totally agree (I think it'd still be awesome to have Result, if only for .map()), but I see their point.

I disagree that it would be without sacrifice. That's kind of the whole point.

Unless I'm missing something, go has iterators with for loops.
When I look at that paper and compute for the age group 40-59 I come up with these normalized values:

infection severe covid

rec 0.614 0.007

boost 0.253 0.002

vacc 2.272 0.014

rec+vacc 0.271 0.006

(No idea how to do a pretty table)

Those are normalized values per person-month-at-risk according to whatever definition they use. I don't know if those numbers are high or low in an absolute sense but they should be comparable across rows. They separate the categories of recovered then vaxxed and vaxxed then recovered but I've combined them in sum here because vaxxed then recovered is quite a low statistics. Perhaps this shouldn't be done but the low statistics also would only impact the conclusion in more of a positive direction. That conclusion is, in the case of a recovered person they were 2-3x less likely to get infected if they went to get a shot after recovery than if they didn't. But protection against severe covid didn't really get impacted.
If a post centers on a logical fallacy, I'll downvote it. I see too much false dichotomy, like "if not x, then it must be y" where u, v, w, etc. are not even considered. What really aggravates me is when I point this out from a completely neutral standpoint and people treat me like I'm supporting one side or the other when I'm merely pointing out there are more than 2 sides!

I'll also downvote stuff that is off topic. I'm sure I downvote other things, but I'd say those two are the lion's share.
macOS Monterey added a "Erase All Content and Settings" feature that works like the iOS versions by deleting the encryption key, although as a result the feature only works on T2 and M1 Macs which encrypt the data at rest even without FileVault.

I have been literally spammed in the last month on my iPhone (even though still using iOS 14) with apple notifications asking me "Do you agree to new terms of agreements? <Yes> <We will ask you later>" (that's regarding new iCloud terms). I was always careful not to miss click and not to agree. No matter what few days later I kept giving the same notification. The stopped for some reason after few months and now I don't know if:

1) I agree by accident

2) They thankfully stopped nagging me

3) Or they buggy implemented it and even though I kept cancelling after few tries they assumed I agreed.

Imo this is related to value provided. It’s why an excellent tutor can make serious money and be hired by wealthy families to teach kids. Good teaching is a scarce resource.

Many (most?) teachers are bad and the existing incentives don’t require them to be good. It’s hard to fire them and public schools have issues which limit selection and competition.

Perhaps harsh, but some of the dimmest people I knew in highschool became teachers and some of the meanest adults I’ve ever interacted with were teachers too. Obviously great outliers exist, but I’m skeptical they’re the norm.

Most jobs that have high demand, real evaluation of skill, and limited supply of people that can do it well (for whatever reason) pay well in capitalist markets.

The exception I can think of would be something like social work, where demand is high, costs are high and it’s mostly government funded.

No, it's not, multi-dimensional optimization and improvement-in-depth is good, actually.

Look back at the small site hosted in Bangalore - That's an Indian version of me. A hacker whose projects can't run on self-hosted Wordpress, who only bought a VPS because their home ISP is not reliable.

With HTTP/1, most of America can't load their site, it times out. With HTTP/2, it takes 2,500 ms. With HTTP/3, it takes 1,000.

A _petty_ software upgrade allows this imagined Indian blogger to gain an audience on _another continent_ without buying more servers, without using a CDN, and without taking advertising deals to afford more stuff.

You know 3 things I hate about the web? Advertisements, CDNs, and having to buy servers.

I promise this is purely geographical, not political - How often do you connect to servers outside the USA and Europe? I mean trading packets with a computer. YouTube uploads don't count because they have a CDN. For me, the answer is "almost never".

The Internet is supposed to be global, but computers are made of matter and occupy space, so connections to nearer servers are still better, and they always will be. But QUIC makes the far-away connections a little less bad. That is a good thing.
Blockchain feels like the right answer to the problem, but it's just infeasible in practice. Who do you trust to handle the blockchain for the entire world? Having a chain that maps the entire global trade will quickly grow to unwieldy proportions - if you need a data center to even store the petabytes of the chain's data, the entire point is moot: You'd again have to trust large vendors.
If you instead opted to have smaller chains, perhaps on the goods category, country, or even reseller level, the market would fragment. We'd soon end up with multiple chains claiming different things, rendering the whole endeavour obsolete again.

And we didn't even talk about meatspace issues yet: Things disappear, get stolen, lost, destroyed, dissolve, companies change ownership, move to other locations, bribe, steal, commit fraud, get banned from selling things somewhere... it's a huge mess! Now sure, all of that isn't directly related to a supply chain. But on a global scale, a supply chain is always just an incredibly limited view of a network of goods moving from A to B. To prevent reality in the blockchain drifting apart, you'd need a way to model all of this.

In the meantime, I'd much rather see simpler solutions: Nobody seems to have tried printing QR codes on physical products that contain PrivKey-signed manufacturing information, for example.

Believing things without evidence is "hostile" to science.
What I always tell people thinking about a software engineering career is that, yes, it's great money but I strongly advise only doing it if you actually like working with computers. Otherwise it's going to be a nightmare. Working as a software developer without a passion for coding is kind of like doing math homework every day for the rest of your life.

I can hold the whole language spec in my head while I'm programming

People love to say this about Go, but it's not something that, like, actually matters (and I doubt it's literally true). A language can be reasonably understandable such that you can effectively and productively program in it without being aggressively simple. Again, to use the case of Ruby, I might not remember every single syntactical construct or handling of every edge case, but the language is reasonably understandable such that I can write programs without constantly asking "what was the syntax for that?" or "how do I express this?" As a counter-example, I think the complexity of C++ is not just limited to its implementation, and leaks out to its interface.

...sacrifice the simplicity of the language, or make it any harder to read go code

These are two separate concerns which, while somewhat related, are not directly correlated. A simple language can make it more obvious which syntactical constructs are being used and what literal operations are being performed, but there are many more dimensions to reading code than just those.
Reading documentation and searching specific questions on stackoverflow (for ex: how to do X with Y language and Z module) works the best for me.

There is no lack of materials for creating PV and batteries. The more we consume them, the cheaper they will become for the near future.

> I have a lot of friends who went into various fields, and it seems relative to the number of buttons we press daily, anyone who works on software makes great money. We didn't spend a ton of $ to go to medical school and 3 years of residency. We didn't go to law school and take the bar. Most of us went to 4 years, or less, of school, and here we are making great money by utilizing the greatest tool of all time: the computer.

This is one of the main reasons I'm a software engineer and shudder to think about doing anything else for a living, despite not even liking software that much.

> It's uncomfortable because many of us didn't understand this going in.

This is probably not as common as you think. Most of the SWEs I know switched over from other fields because it's an obviously easier gig. Epidemiology, architecture, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, archaeology, public policy. People are painfully aware of how easy we have it and that's precisely why they're (we're) SWEs, not because of any interest in coding itself.
Having watched this for a while, I would say, my fellow programmers, there's no need to build elaborate psychological defenses for why you don't want to use a language. Just don't use it. There's too many languages to know them all anyhow. You don't have to decide not to use something, then justify your decision with a few comfort blankets that you post every time the topic comes up. Just don't use it, and leave it at that. Or at the very least, skip posting your comfort blankets every time the topic comes up. There's a dozen languages I'd like to know better, and don't use them, and I don't run around giving myself "reasons" I don't learn them. The "reason" is simple: I don't have time. Languages are not an attack on you. Nobody who designed a language was even thinking about you when they created them.

I speak here to those who slag on Go and haven't so much as run "Hello World" in it. Those who have used it, especially for some period of time, and especially those who tried long enough to learn to program Go-in-Go (as opposed to Rust-in-Go or C++-in-Go, etc.), and decided they didn't like it due to their experience, I invite to continue discussing. You're not who I'm talking about here. Real experiences with the language are valuable contributions.

Those who haven't had real experiences are not making valuable contributions. "Lol generics, lol they realized they're wrong and I was right all along" and "Lol error handling is bad in Go" are not valuable contributions.

>We were promised this wouldn't happen by our governments last year right?

We were promised that a company can't require a vaccine as a condition of employment? Seeing as some companies have required vaccines for as long as there have been vaccines, I think I must be misunderstanding you.

>Why are private companies stuck policing these absurd policies?

Companies are requiring the vaccine because they make employees less likely to miss work due to illness.
> It seems to me just like another excuse to add complexity and to create more bloated websites.

Arguably it's the other way around. Web sites were already getting extremely complex and bloated, so new protocols are attempting to restore performance that we've lost. I.E. one of the problems HTTP/2 tries to solve is sending multiple files in parallel over the same connection, to avoid the pitfalls of opening lots of simultaneous TCP sockets. This only became a major concern as web sites added more and more assets.

It's definitely a vicious cycle though. It's reminiscent of what happens with hardware. Better hardware incentivizes inefficient software development, to the point where a modern messaging app might not even be usable on a PC from 2003, despite not having much more functionality than similar apps from the era.
> Question is, can anyone design & implement a language that would have all of that, and still be readable and understandable to a common programmer

No, because exception handling and the answer to "what type are these data?" are product questions. Hard questions that no one really wants to work out because what if our customer base wants something completely different in 6 months?

This is largely reflected in cloud providers being unwilling/unable to provide account spend caps: what is a sane response once the budget goes over? AWS can't tell you; only you can define it. (This isn't to say "there's nothing AWS can do for you here" -- they could but won't for other reasons).

Python is the largest, common language that can support gradual checking systems being added in over time, and mypy has outlined a great framework for doing just that. But it's not a silver bullet and can't be because the problems are cultural, not mathematic. Either spend the time working out what you want your software to do, or don't. But don't argue "strictness" is "correctness".
- 4 shots of an mRNA vaccine will protect against all variants of SARS-CoV-2

- 5 shots of an mRNA vaccine will protect against all coronaviruses, it starts to have a weak effect on rhinoviruses and influenza

- 6 shots of an mRNA vaccine will protect against all viruses, including HIV and Ebola, but in an unlikely twist of events, SARS-CoV-2 has now mutated to become a bacteria

- 7 shots of an mRNA vaccine will protect will also protect against bacteria, but SARS-CoV-2 now managed to move into computer networks thanks to the 5G capabilities of the vaccines

- With 8 shots of an mRNA vaccine, you will start to develop superpowers, but health experts don't recommend flying too high as the effects are temporary. SARS-CoV-2 managed to infect the blockchain, making itself completely invincible and non-refundable.

- With 9 shots of an mRNA vaccine, your entire DNA is replaced with viral RNA, allowing you to mutate at will, SARS-CoV-2 became really rich by selling a NFT of the original "Wuhan" genetic code and is running for elections.

- With 10 shots of an mRNA vaccine, you are now ready to conquer the galaxy in an ambitious program run by SARS-CoV-2, who just won the elections

What about the rights of a private (in the sense of government) company to make their own decisions?
It's not really true at all. The libinput developer blogged about why having more configuration options has historically not actually been good for the project, or for users of the synaptics driver:

https://who-t.blogspot.com/2016/04/why-libinput-doesnt-have-...

Particularly, once you add a configuration option, you're now on the hook to support that option indefinitely as long as the project exists and users expect that option to be there. With more maintainers and testers, it may become feasible to have more configuration options, but it's still not a good idea to just keep piling them in. It might be satisfying to see a big configuration panel with a lot of settings but it's a lot less satisfying when you figure out a lot of the configuration options don't work correctly because the underlying system has bugs or is under-maintained or was just never tested with your specific configuration because input is hard and requires near constant testing against an extremely large number of hardware devices.
But once it reaches some non-defined threshold, it's Apple who reviews the content not the government. They don't have a way to verify the hashes, but they would have a way to verify the content which matches the hashes.
