Whatever the app they would ask you to install would do probably is going to be allowed by its EULA (and I bet the EULA is also going to prohibit you from analyzing the app and whatever it does/communicates) and chances are you don't read it. And even if you do you most probably agree because you know all EULAs are brutal and there never is a button to object its specific part and continue.

What we need is legislation to recognize all the data and metadata about your PC, all its software, your home networks&devices and their usage a kind of personal data and apply the same rules GDPR applies to tracking cookies - giving you the right to continue without agreeing to be spied on.
This is quite bad. Relying on uppercase/lowercase equivalences in a Unicode world is by definition a code smell, no matter if they force the comparison to be based on ASCII. This whole ordeal causes any sort of issue if Unicode letters are allowed, because they will pass through `toLowerAscii` untouched and it is bound to cause confusion or to force people to avoid using Unicode in identifiers altogether.

Case insensitivity is a Western-only concept that should die ASAP, it's immensely complicated to pull off right and it opens a massive can of worms that makes no sense (see the Turkey Test for more about this).

I don't fully agree with the article, but I see everyday sites that can be so much faster by making code more optimized. Processors are getting faster and people have more RAM? Nice, let's make web sites heavier removing any optimization. Well, that's the current situation, and it's very sad.

Been thinking about this for a while.

If worker pay isn't keeping up but company profits and equity are, this means that people are overvaluing being a worker and undervaluing being an owner, compared to market equilibrium.

Why would that be? Risk aversion? With the latest advances in global connectivity, online business infrastructure, ubiquitous technology and so on, I'd expect risk to be as low as it ever was.

Something else? What am I missing?

You want to compare the richest country in history with Moldova? I'm not sure I see the point.

My point was very simple. Out of all of the world's developed countries, the USA is the one with the most expensive healthcare, despite less regulations. My point was that regulation by the government does not lead to "incredibly more expensive healthcare", as you have have stated.

From there, comparing the USA to Bulgaria is simply beside the point, the conversation was about regulation leading to "incredibly" higher costs.
The logo on this website is 11kb for a 20x20 PNG. Running it through oxipng reduces it to 848 bytes with no difference in quality. It doesn't even need to be an image; the actual emoji would work instead and that would be 4 bytes of data.

I don't know if this is an argument that modern web developers are to blame because they do things like this, or if it shows the author isn't very aware of how to make a small website and his arguments should be taken with a dose of skepticism.

Either way, please, if the author is reading, optimize your images.
Hard on crime and hard on immigration IS the far right. Sure, if the old parties had veered far-right, new far-right parties wouldn't have shown up.

The problem are not the parties, the problem are the policies. Kicking immigrants out or licking them up will not improve the life of the local lower class, despite all the promises. It may improve the life of the rich, who won't have to fear bring mugged. But the reasons why immigration is happening, and why immigrants remain poor, will either continue (no one wants to do the dirty jobs) or mine too the local lower class (let's pray locals less so that they are competitive with immigrants).

I've been on a Mac since 2008 so ~13 years. I still hate it, not the mac, just this one poorly designed feature ... and a few others. I don't want to have to stop-pause-think "was the last thing I used in the same app or a different app?" so that I can press the right key. Further, I only want the last window to move to the front, not all windows of the same app. Quite often (50-70% of the time?) I have say 3 VSCode windows, 4 terminals, and 3 browser windows. I need to switch between say a terminal window and a VScode window. ideally when I moved the VSCode window to the front and mostly on the right side of the screen the last terminal would stay visible but instead Cmd-Tab brings all the VScode windows to the front, covering the terminal. It's useless. Cmd+~ doesn't help, that only switches within the same app.

Well, submitted and upvoted, then. (I use hnapp.com and see things that receive 3 votes IIRC, or maybe 5.)

Stories like this one receive upvotes. Its headline says "can't slow down covid", the body text doesn't go out on a limb and claim that the vaccinated majority are falling ill at the same rate as the unvaccinated minority, but it doesn't say anything else either. Just a slyly misleading headline and 14 upvotes.
You are ignoring what EE countries spend on training countless health care workers who then emigrate and work as cheap and highly educated in the West.

> It's always "America is good, Russia/China/Whoever else is bad" as if the USA was full of saints.

The world is not some grand scale intended to be balanced. No one argues the USA is full of saints. Whether the USA is full of saints or not is immaterial to Russia/China being "bad". The truth is, a world Order led by the United States looks a lot kinder than a world led by Russian or Chinese regimes. Resorting to false equivalences (guys, they're all bad) in fact hurts all of us interested in a world that respects basic human freedoms.

I've stated this before, as have many others on this site: the US and the knowledge of its genocides and other violent acts committed on people across the world is only possible when a free press is guaranteed and when we do not need to worry about being whisked away into that eternal night for bringing those atrocities to light. You cannot discuss the Tienanmen Square massacres in China without severe reprisals. Indeed, in Russia, doctors have simply repeatedly fallen out of windows for daring to toe the official line on COVID. It's happened so frequently, it's become something of a meme.

So please, criticize the US all you want (and there's much to criticize) but stop at drawing these false equivalencies because it is easy or because you believe in some global scale that must be equalized.
That's the assumption, but that doesn't mean it's the case. Certainly bounds checks are impossible to prove at compile-time.

I have to admit I only used F# on a small project a few years back, but the type providers made the job super simple - the job was basically generating some fancy reports from multiple data sources and being able to just specify database connection strings and have everything work in the IDE/compiler was a huge win. Setting up CI was a bit of a PITA because I remember needing to spinup a DB to create schema, there was some option to do it from schema directly but didn't want to waste time.
>I wrote a Python script that ran on a Raspberry Pi, that would pull the 2FA code from an Android emulator running on another machine running the 2FA app, and then the script would paste the 2FA code in to MS Teams running on the corporate laptop using a USB keyboard/mouse h/w emulator

That's amazingly brilliant, but Unfortunately it wouldn't work everywhere as in our org, the 2FA app will only be allowed to be installed on our company provided phones bound to our company issued phone numbers/SIM.

Also, depending on your company and employment agreement, if your Raspberry PI gets compromised by an attacker and uses your 2FA to gain access to your AWS account for example, and causes damage, then your employer can hang you out to dry in court.

I already saw one case where an ex-employee is being sued by his former employer because he decided to be clever and knowingly worked around the company's security policy measures, which he agreed to adhere to in his employment contract. Workaround which lead to an attacker getting his keys and stealing customer data from AWS buckets. Ouch!

more fuel efficient is only of interest if you are talking about how much it costs to run a car. Cars are more fuel efficient now than they were in the 1970s because it costs so much more to run them.

The most erroneous was the company that would take credit cards in plain text, print them onto an order sheet for reception staff to put through their POS at the front desk, and then the order sheets just went into the bin near the entrance. Thousands of credit card numbers were just sitting there for the taking, in plain text, in plain sight.

Hmmm… it may have come from Cochrane, but I don’t think so.

They were a collection of two page PDFs with nice formatting and all. Made it easy for any physician to see just how extensive the issue was beyond their own specialty.

But maybe Cochrane drove the initiative? The lists definitely came from the respective medical societies.

Now I have a urge to try and find it again.

This is primarily because those companies haven't updated their payments systems to be compliant.

The e-mandate system seems to be pretty good. Netflix is compliant and it worked seamlessly from day one of the switch. It could be because they have incorporated locally, which can be difficult for many other companies.
I fully agree, yet here I am with many friends that swear their kids stop having gum aches after applying some stuff that contains 0.5 molecules per tube of whatever. I tell them it could be their attention, the actual rubbing, just the fact that the kid thinks he's being helped. Yet none of them is up for rubbing the kids with water in a double blind way and making structured notes of the effects. "It obviously helps, everybody happy". Yeah, especially the manufacturer of said half molecule*.

(* I get that it means there is just 1 molecule in every 2nd tube, or more likely some tubes have 0, some 1, some 2, some 3, we have to take counting statistics into account.)

> I've written tons of Go as well, and I write Rust faster

The overhead in Rust, when compared to comparable languages, is very concrete. On top of my head:

- using hash maps is more convoluted (in some cases, arrays also need some boilerplate as well)

- bidirectional/circual references need to be handled (and are also ugly); algorithms programming in Rust is typically more complex because of this

- lifetimes (which also spread virally when introduced)

- explicit allocation types

- (smart) pointer types in general

- interior mutability; which may also required additional design (including: will the mutexes destroy performance?)

Some of them intersect with each other and pile up (allocation types; pointer types; interior mutability).

There is certainly overhead in Golang (I think it's not very ergonomic for a functional style, for example), but it's nothing comparable.

Overhead takes time; unless one has a time machine, it makes a programming language concretely "slower".

The above is just the concrete overhead. The abstract overhead (=things to keep in mind) is another story (e.g. proliferation of types because of the ownership, traits...). I understand, say, that path types are a necessary evil, but they're surely ugly to handle.

> you just didn't realize it because the GC allowed you to be sloppy about it

It's not sloppy where it's not needed. A significant part of the Rust overhead is due to the rigorous philosophy of the language, which enforces constraints also when they're not required. This is absolutely fine, but it's not realistic to think that it has no cost.
It'd be a fascinating experiment. The languages we use all have a great deal of shared history.

Essentially all modern languages were designed by people who were good enough programmers to implement compilers/interpreters/runtimes in a language like C, so it's hard to avoid some intellectual crossover. You'd need to have a separate team implementing the design proposed by this outsider.

>Like why does AWS WAF have its own region selection

Assuming you're talking about WAFv2, it seems that's because they chose to have a single set of api endpoints instead of regional-based endpoints. And that the CLI --region option is really only equipped to swap endpoints.

Doesn't explain why they chose that path though.
