I'm just seeing arrays everywhere. 1, 2, and 3 seems wrong to me. I reckon it should either be 1, 2, 3 or 1, 2 and 3. When a comma is followed directly by 'and' (or by 'or'), one of them just seems superfluous.

On a side note, it makes you wonder if lawyers should take a course in programming. I wonder if these two arrays would have clarified matters:

The Intent of the Contract:
no overtime for the following:
[
canning,
processing,
preserving,
freezing,
drying,
marketing,
storing,
packing for shipment,
distribution

This would have included truck drivers because it separates packing from distribution.

The Ruling:
No overtime for the following:
[
canning,
processing,
preserving,
freezing,
drying,
marketing,
storing,
packing for

shipment,

]
This excludes truck drivers because it puts distribution with packing and truck drivers don't pack! The power of arrays.

I bet you a lot of fake internet money that when the fire is out and cooler heads prevail, most of the overtax was institutional responses to COVID.

The Log-Sum-Exp Trick
I just can't see having three different general-purpose languages in my stack for a single app (narrowly defined to exclude things like administration scripts, offline data analysis, client-side apps that need ecosystem-specific languages, etc.). For anything this article would suggest using C# for, either TypeScript or C++/Rust* ought to be good enough. The performance/type-safety (if using TypeScript) or development-speed (if using C++/Rust) costs seem unlikely to outweigh the technical and operational overhead of introducing a third language with its own large distinct runtime.

In particular, if TypeScript isn't performant enough for whatever I'm trying to do, then it seems likely that there'll be more performance bottlenecks in the future, and so just moving to a generically faster language won't be good enough; I need a language that offers precise control over performance, so that when future issues come up, I know I'll be able to solve them. C# sort of has this with unsafe, but it's a lot rougher than C++/Rust, which is presumably why the article doesn't mention it.

I could see using C# instead of TypeScript on the server, with TypeScript reserved for the web client only, but that's quite a different proposition. And if I were starting a new codebase from scratch for, say, a web app, I'd just use TypeScript the whole way down, both for homogeneity and to make it easier to take advantage of server-side rendering, isomorphic business logic, etc., and drop down to C++/Rust (via node-addon-api/napi-rs on the server or WebAssembly in the browser) if this proved to be necessary for performance.

* I'd much rather use Rust, but it's definitely the case that if you need to integrate with existing C++ code, no other language today can do that very well. I'm hoping that Rust will be able to do so in the future, so that legacy C++ apps can be ported incrementally, instead of requiring each app (or at best each large component of an app, as in Firefox) to be rewritten all at once. C++-to-Rust will probably never be quite as smooth as JavaScript-to-TypeScript or Java-to-Kotlin or Objective-C-to-Swift, but it might one day be good enough that the benefits outweigh the costs.

> So I reach out to the manager and ask what is going on. This is a simple task, I said. Why does it take an entire quarter for your team to deliver? He doesn't have an answer.

Your simple task, which you think would only take a few days to implement, is probably one request in a long queue of requests that team is dealing with. That means they won't be able to start on it for a long time.

That team probably set up the onerous Google Docs process to gate requests because they get so many!

When they do start working on your request, maybe it will only take a few days -- or maybe you underestimate the level of effort required because you are new to the company and you don't understand the complexity of the systems you are dealing with.

Take this as a learning experience: don't assume that you are at a startup where people will drop everything to handle a request from you right away. Instead, assume that people are dealing with a lot of other requests, from a lot of other people. Learn how the system works, and learn how to be effective within that system.

I know for sure that it's possible to be highly productive at a large company with a lot of bureaucracy -- but I also know for sure that new employees who try to bypass process and question the priorities of other teams, before they learn the ropes and build credibility and trust with other people, do not succeed.

I was an ops manager at $big_company like the one described; your response gets it pretty right. There were many many groups that all wanted a slice of our team's time, and it added up to probably a 6 month lead time on all requests. Bringing in skip levels was almost necessary as we sometimes had to have upper management fight over who wants their subordinates' tasks done first. We didn't care who's tasks got done first, we just needed to know what the enterprise's priorities were. It wasn't uncommon for these tasks to have to snake through multiple groups for a couple weeks so that they can each give their input on what should be prioritized before it even hit our backlog.

If their parent company is publicly traded, giving access to the codebase is a huge SOX no-no.

> Don't rely on conformism if you will gain more with autonomy.

The author and myself, among others, believe that we should be free to use our computing machines as we see fit. That is, the value of autonomy far exceeds that of any benefits of heteronomy. We believe that we always gain more with autonomy. That this is a minority view is of no ethical importance.

However history, both in computation and in general, has shown us there is never a shortage of those willing to sacrifice their autonomy for the initially lower cognitive burden of letting someone else make decisions for them. The costs of doing so are often only apparent after some time.

On using a system from heteronomous vendors such as Apple, Google, or Microsoft long enough, it will inevitably be changed in capricious and annoying ways. Those who abandon the virtue of freedom are forced to rationalize why accepting this abuse is actually a good thing. Meanwhile those who hold to freedom as a virtue do not. They either switch to a system that respects their autonomy, or they grit their teeth and bear the abuse without any need for calling evil good.

For what it’s worth I agree one of the things autonomy grants is the ability to give it up. I’m willing to grudgingly use closed firmwares and graphics drivers for example, but I view it as an ethical compromise and not anything good.

I think the Oldskool PC channel did a good job covering the topic. He started writing his own boot sector operating systems from scratch to make that video. When you do that, you start seeing something like SectorLISP more as a kit that lets you take these beautiful universal equations that John McCarthy discovered, and then you fill in the blanks yourself in terms of systems implementation details. SectorLISP isn't intended to be a shrink-wrapped solution (and The Oldskool PC channel has excellent videos about shrink-wrap too!) So I do think the video is accurate and I'm very pleased with how it turned out.

I can't speak to GDPR specifically because I'm not European, but a fair amount of laws have leeway for preservation purposes. (For example, section 108 of the Copyright Act in the US functionally exempts archives from being punished for copying provided they are doing so for preservation purposes).

There are very good reasons that archives will not destroy or alter information outside of very clear difficult and manual processes.

And actually, looking at it, I don't think they're necessarily in violation of GDPR [0].

Point 3 says: "Where personal data are processed for archiving purposes in the public interest, Union or Member State law may provide for derogations from the rights referred to in Articles 15, 16, 18, 19, 20 and 21 subject to the conditions and safeguards referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article in so far as such rights are likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the specific purposes, and such derogations are necessary for the fulfilment of those purposes."

According to GDPR, national law of EU parties overrules GDPR when it comes to personal data being used in archival context. I don't know every EU country's stance, but most of the bigger economies would allow for this.

There is also a difference between deleting the data and rendering it inaccessible to the public. Keeping something under wraps is generally more 'acceptable', but active destruction of the item (digital or not) and its providence is much more limited. Also there's a difference between personally identifying data (covered by GDPR), your content (which would be covered under copyright and not GDPR), and connections people can make if that content is available (not covered at all because it's not anybody else's issue if you write something terrible and people keep recognizing you over it so long as you did actually write it).

What a weird WEIRD article.

Marijuana is illegal in Singapore.

You can be randomly drug tested without consent (for any reason).

You are a presumed trafficker if you have 4/10th of an oz of marijuana.

If you have keys to a building with drugs in it - you are presumed drug user (and many other presumptions like this if you are around drug users)

With laws like this, we are looking at how many folks are in jail for drug use charges as a measure of drug use? Is this a joke?

I can walk down a street in San Francisco and see many folks - NOT in jail, who are using drugs.

Or you can fly through an airport in Singapore and be busted with drugs or just fail a drug test without ANY drugs in your possession - and get arrested.

Umm... if you applied this type of law in the USA, the rates of folks arrested for drug charges would be much much higher.

The commas in the second Amendment and their meaning are probably worth Trillions of dollars. When you think of all the private arms and all the costs of gun violence in the US over the years which hinge on the individual right to bear arms, when punctuation in the second amendment can lead people to read the text as only holding a right to bear arms within a well-regulated Militia. Turns out that the commas weren’t even standardized and lots of differently punctuated versions were ratified by the different states.

> more of them are sold which results in a fewer accidents and fatalities overall

This argument needs to be fleshed out more after a video like this surfaces. I can't accept at face value that this style of autonomous car, which has demonstrated issues running into parked and stationary objects, is the platform which when mass distributed will reduce overall accidents and fatalities.

It's clear from this video that this vehicle doesn't know when it's blind, and will merrily carry on at 75 mph even though it has no idea what's going on around it. If you are driving in the dark or the fog and you can't see 12 seconds in front of you, you slow down until you can. Not Tesla apparently -- it will continue on at 75mph even though it can't break in time if something emerges in front of it. How is this the technological basis of a something that promises to lower overall fatalities? How does this get better with scale? Seems to me, based on this repeatedly demonstrated mode of failure, scale will only reveal how broken their self driving system is.

Why is it accepted here that filling the road with autonomous cars that don't know when they're blind and run into parked objects will somehow result in a net positive outcome?

Moreover, how is Tesla in particular the company which is going to deliver these safer vehicles that make our roads safer? Tesla has a history and culture of deception in their marketing. They haven't taken these accidents seriously in their engineering and product design. Teslas have been running into stationary objects for 5+ years now and they show no sign of fixing that. Call me crazy but if I were shipping a driverless car technology, I'd want to make sure it didn't run into things. Maybe that's just me?

Tesla recklessly released this flawed technology and product to actual consumers for use on actual roads. How are these the actions of a safety-focused company? From my perspective, if you flood the roads with Teslas, you're not going to get safer roads, you're going to get more Twitter threads with videos like this. The claim that this will necessarily lead to safer roads is yet to be proven.
