> Reddit can't build functional software. I would never consider letting thdm connect to my wallet.

Seriously this.

I'll never understand how this platform has the traction it has when it is such a buggy POS, forums in the 90s worked better than the current version of Reddit. Not to mention their tendency to censor and shadowban: it goes to show that when it comes to Social Media (something I never really got into as it is entirely extractive) you don't need quality code to be a stand out.

How they convinced people to pay actual money for gilding makes me think that video game producers who moved to micro tx business models were actually way ahead of their time, prophetic even, in predicting what this demographic will tolerate.

I can't imagine how they're going to handle having such a lax approach to security when actual money is on the line (assuming they tokenize or create NFTs) and with adversaries from all sides trying to rip them off. It will be comical if a spin off of REvil was created just to screw over Reddit, I'd like to to see this materialize only to see that happen.

Sidenote: you used to be able to tip in bitcoin on Reddit via tipping bot, now you can only do it with small sums (bits) via LN, but this has been possible for a long time now.

I definitely think we should get rid of mosquitos while we have the chance.

Imagine if civilization crumbles, and our descendants, huddled in caves and trying to find enough food to eat, are all getting diseases from these things, and people look back at us and say "but they thought it wasn't ethical to kill mosquitos".

The Wikipedia article hints at it:

> The video game crash of 1983 [...] was a large-scale recession in the video game industry that occurred from 1983 to 1985, primarily in the United States.

> But outside of North America the video game industry was doing very well. Home consoles were growing in popularity in Japan while home computers were surging across Europe.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_crash_of_1983

The Japanese language Wikipedia has a very different tone to the article, because it was written from perspectives outside North America:

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%A2%E3%82%BF%E3%83%AA%E3...

Note that the article’s title in Japanese is “Atari shock”.

Honestly, I think it should be called the “US video game crash of 1983”, and the article should be more up-front that this was something that happened specifically in the US. I think the English-language Wikipedia relies too heavily on North American sources.
It's hard to call that an error. Do you want it to show garbled static? Every point on the diagram shows the closest available color based on the format.
somehow you are assuming you can only make 300k in Cali paying 40% taxes?
The color blue hadn't been invented yet.
Aztec C was a commercially available, and very popular, C compiler available for the Amiga at the time. And for any reasonable size program, it was fast enough. I worked on one unusually large program for the comparable Atari ST that took about half an hour to build. Most "normal" programs compiled a lot faster.
To that effect, it's also not uncommon for foreign companies to list in New York for the prestige, and because of much higher trading volumes. China was doing this until recently.

Real example #1:

I warn John Doe that his new endpoint will crash in a specific scenario. John Doe dismisses the warning since "it's not likely to happen in the wild". QA call it out soon after it's uploaded to our test environment. The error has a chain effect where it prevents them from testing other stuff.

Real example #2:

I warn John Doe that we just committed a flaky test to the develop branch, and I submit a PR to fix it. John Doe closes the PR since "for now we must accept tests fail in mysterious ways".

Soon after, Doe Johnson who works in another team is blocked by said test. He spends an hour or two coming up with the same solution I did.

In both cases we burnt money needlessly, because John Doe is too stubborn to accept our team's code is not perfect.

It's easy to calculate an upper bound on the Kolmogorov complexity of a given value (you just have to exhibit a Turing machine that computes it), but very hard to prove a lower bound (you would have to prove something about all possible Turing machines).

Extremism is relative. Lots of what we accept with COVID would be over the top extremists in 2019.

Charlemange (supposedly) had people killed for eating meat on holy days. We would be outraged by even a 5 dollar fine.

Openly seeing gay/transgender people would be considered extreme by normal society just 30 years ago.
You would not have a "directory" in the sense you use the word (why would directory be required in a FILE system?)

Instead a heap of files and you search for them using metadata (e.g. each file has an associated key value store that you search on).

Music catalogues is a good example. In the 90s one vould wonder if the music sitting on HD should be organized as "Music/(genre)/(artist)" or "Music/(artist)/(genre)" as directories. Different choices was best for different persons.

Eventually many music players for desktop (e.g. iTunes) just made a different metaphor. And Spotify, Netflix etc do not use a hierarchy but you search for items using metadata.

Another example is e.g.

/lib/libfoo-1.2.so

Where one could instead have

libraryname=foo
scope=system
version=1.2
sharedlibrary=true

Or similar

The canonical argument against your line of thinking would be Der Sturmer in Nazi Germany having enough freedom to promote the interests of the Nazi party which consequently outlawed the free press and railed up the hatred to the point of genomics (See: Popper and the paradox of tolerance). We could also look at the radio stations in Rwanda preaching Hutu Power that contributed to the genocides there, or contemporary issues like the Rohingya genocides amplified by social media.

Restrictions on free speech are universal across cultures at all levels of society including within this very community and I don’t see attempts to restrict speech which the proverbial common sense person would see as likely to cause dehumanization and derision and calls to violence as necessarily being all that impossible to do in a reasonably if not completely fair manner.
Recidivism for most crimes is high. Putting criminals in prison prevents them from committing more crimes.

Gascon is the type of DA that you would see in a Batman movie, that is working for the villains. The decisions he has made on behalf of the criminals is shocking. It's as if he's trying to do as much damage as possible. The one that drew the line for me was the machete attack in Malibu by a homeless person where someone lost an eye and was disfigured. The assailant had months previously attacked someone with a knife, but Gascon only charged him with a misdemeanor so he was out and about.

As far as I'm concerned, Gascon is working with the criminals to maximize their damage on our society. The same is going for Boudin, but it seems that he will lose his job soon.
One could argue that you still need to remember your master password, and since it gives access to all your other passwords, it's all the more important to make it extremely strong. Therefore the randomness/memorability trade-off is still very important.
Why not engage with the study instead? Sorry it’s not a link to The New European
Defer CAN help with error handling, but you need other language features for that. You need well defined error types or exceptions in some way or another.

Zig has errdefer which only runs if an error occurred below the statement within that scope. It allows you to always keep cleanup locally, but you can still handle errors for your business logic somewhere else.

errdefer is cool, but I don't think C should support it. Mainly because you'd need to spec errors at a language level, and doing that today is probably impossible.
The Atari ST made up for a lot with better, separate black and white and color monitors in the early versions.

Plate Tectonics
How do you solve the problem of a subculture which glorifies crime? These people don't care about your rules. They take pride in breaking them. They are not interested in your American Dream or your ideas of educational opportunity. Taking advantage of opportunity (or altruism) is an achievement, a victory over perceived weakness. Altruism is a respectable virtue, but forcing altruisum upon others at the hands of barbarism is tyrrany.

While one can appreciate the candid and not at all surprising UP explanation as to the effective abrogation of justice in our coastal la la land, this is also a cop-out: train looting isn't some unexpected phenomena that started earlier this month; here is video of this happening in Chicago at least two years ago[1]. These operators are not taking the necessary measures to protect cargo; they're wallowing in the hope that this is an aberration because any other approach will cost money. Unfortunately our increasingly 'low trust society' has a cost and UP et al. need to figure this out and adapt accordingly.

I mean, no, there's lots of crimes you can commit in jail that can lead you to an even worse sentence. But also recidivism isn't simply some moral badness in a person, there's tons of factors that feed into it, including the community around the person being released, their ability to provide with a record, etc.
Social justice (“While we understand the well-intended social justice goals of the policy...”) doesn't seem to be working with the smash and grab thefts and now this seen in California.

If you are a physicist then you are an exceptionally dull one. There is no physical law that determines what the human body does with the molecules it ingests. It can turn those molecules into fat or energy, in any ratio, or send the molecules right back out without even using them. This is a matter of metabolics and hormones, not physics. Calories in calories out is bullshit. Not because it isn’t broadly a good heuristic but because it isn’t based on any kind of biological axiom and is very often misused.

You're forgetting the cost of jailing them in the first place. Not only is there an upfront cost of $106k per year(assuming we're talking about CA)[1], that person is also not working(or paying taxes) or gaining any useful skills. What they're doing instead is hanging out in a population of other criminals and participating in a social order that incentivizes if not downright mandates behavior that in itself would be considered criminal in wider society. I don't think it's so far fetched to say that the cost society pays to incarcerate someone with the goal of preventing them from committing more crimes can exceed the cost of the crimes themselves. Deterrence is the only possible way to justify these costs(And prisons do have nonzero use as a deterrent), but the current prison situation makes it clear that prison's RoI growth has some seriously diminishing returns that started at a funding level far lower than the current one.

How is this unique to the US?
Microsoft Sharepoint uses SQL Server for all user Item storage, so it's an example of an all relational file store. They did this around the time they were also experimenting with the Cairo a sibling comment mentions. Also as another commenter noted you query on the metadata. Folders/directories for instance are represented as metadata. Installations can also describe very detailed ontologies including ones provided by third parties. It's a lot of work.

Edit: I think I was actually thinking of WinFS which came out of Cairo later, around 2000.
In my limited experience, code built around relational databases is difficult to grok. The structure is inverted with respect to typical OOP. Rather than having a sane class hierarchy, where one can start at the top and navigate down to understand how objects are nested, the structure is inverted, piecing together class relationships requires looking at the tables and following foreign keys which effectively point to parent classes. It feels backwards.
> gamma rays of arbitrarily high frequency

What a delightfully, understatedly terrifying phrase.
There is a little bit of dissonance here. Microsoft, a multi billion dollar company who works with organizations such as ICE which routinely engages in human right abuses and causes sever suffering and harm to thousands of people who are already pretty vulnerable.

vs. an open source developer who’s work benefits companies like Microsoft who have no obligation to pay for that labor. And engages in a single industrial sabotage which causes minor disruptions, and harm which at most costs other developer some time and temporary frustrations.

I feel like we need some sense of relativity when we attribute nouns such as hazardous and dangerous here. Especially when we are talking about Microsoft.
> Union Pacific agents have made hundreds of arrests, but less than half are booked

> charges are reduced to a misdemeanor or petty offense, and the criminal is released after paying a nominal fine

So how does that affect statics? If they are not booked, and charges are dropped to a petty offense, it would look like the crime stats are trending down and the area is improving. “Look, burglaries and serious offenses are going, our policy is working so well!”
Strange is what they said just after the CCIR incepted leap seconds at the SI subcommittee in charge of the subject:

AFAIK the incarceration rate problems in US have more to do with locking up non violent drug users, the three strikes policy and probably other miguided efforts than with locking up actual thieves, robbers and murderers.

But I am not an American.
Class hierarchies are not "sane", they're inherently hard to extend in a way that preserves a consistent semantics. This is exactly what the relational model is intended to fix.
You start by disconfirming your beliefs.

What is the American Dream? Is it a reality? Is it available to. The people in this subculture you're talking about (curious to hear more about this subculture)? Are the educational opportunities?

Is crime glorification the cause, or the effect of a deeper problem?

Why does this happen in the richest country in the world? Is it a bug or is it a feature? If it's a feature, what does it imply about those that are able to reach monumental amounts of wealth in this same society?
I totally agree but we are fighting the tide (ran a resume, linkedin profile, and interview prep shop for 6 years). Everything in the process is being analyzed, parsed and benchmarked using AI, soon to a more granular level. I even came across some interview analysis software which measured the angle of the person's head along with tone and a bunch of other factors!

It's not about communication, here. You want to be absolutely perfect in your CV, to prove that you've spent time and effort making it perfect. It serves no other purpose but to show your determination.

I'd love to see how much revenue was lost from these thefts vs the average taxpayer cost of imprisoning all the involved folks for however long Union Pacific wishes they were locked up for. Ignoring the obvious slippery slope / long term effect objection, it'd be wild if it was actually cheaper to just pay the losses back and prosecute no one.
I've read some interesting things about this idea: https://www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/pie2020.html

> It’s true that police, prosecutors, and judges continue to punish people harshly for nothing more than drug possession. Drug offenses still account for the incarceration of almost half a million people, and nonviolent drug convictions remain a defining feature of the federal prison system. Police still make over 1 million drug possession arrests each year, many of which lead to prison sentences. Drug arrests continue to give residents of over-policed communities criminal records, hurting their employment prospects and increasing the likelihood of longer sentences for any future offenses.

> Nevertheless, 4 out of 5 people in prison or jail are locked up for something other than a drug offense — either a more serious offense or an even less serious one. To end mass incarceration, we will have to change how our society and our justice system responds to crimes more serious than drug possession. We must also stop incarcerating people for behaviors that are even more benign.

Other than your first sentence (which is subjective), you are correct. The only question is whether you are going to mangle the database structure to fit your OO hierarchy or design your program in a non-OO way to fit the relational structure.

Since the database will live on long past the program, and will have multiple programs talking to it, it makes sense to design your program around the data, not design the database structure around your program.

[EDIT: See https://blogs.tedneward.com/post/the-vietnam-of-computer-sci... for why OO is a terrible design for persistent data]
