Maybe spending more time on getting current laws right would be better than moving on to new laws.

More laws = more ways people/organisations are burdened with things they need to know (and will be punished for whether or not they know). Having canonical interpretations of laws that aren't written in the laws just makes that even more fraught with peril.

The reason why the Windows Start Menu (and GNOME Shell hot corner) should be in the corner of a display is that for people using a mouse, quickly swiping the mouse into a corner doesn't require any skill or precision. Having a hot centre is a terrible idea for anyone using a mouse because you have to carefully move the mouse into the centre of the display with precision and accuracy (typically by swiping to the corner as you used to do, then also moving the mouse to the centre). Hopefully for Windows users there becomes available an ability to freely adjust hot corner/taskbar settings (see this[1] GNOME extension for an example).

You liked ribbons?! As a Mac user ribbons made me really happy I was not on Windows although they did bring that poison over to the Mac with their office apps.

Occasionally I have to use windows and the abandonment of regular drop down menus and introduction of ribbons is really disorienting in my view. MS changes too much core UI. I like that Apple is more conservative and keep stuff that works. Keeping the menu bar but adding a search bar to it was a much better solution in my opinion. It allows us to use a well established UI paradigm while also making it easier to find well hidden entries.

Hunting through stuff in the ribbon is not easy.

Curiously, it seemed that the books got more and more wild with each following entry: at first it was almost like "hard science fiction" with mostly feasible technologies, whereas the later books seemed to throw that idea to the wind.

> but why does Zucc think facebook's checkers are superior to the BMJ

Because they are his fact checkers. It isn't an argument against Zuckerberg or a condemnation, this is just the obvious explanation.

Whoever came up with the concept of fact checkers plainly wanted to establish some form of authoritative voice or judge. I believe the concept is futile and the motives often dishonest. It will not work for whatever reason though.
> smoking cannabis (in most cases together with tobacco)

In most cases? Where in the world? In Canada at least, frequent cannabis smokers and frequent cigarette smokers are nearly disjoint groups.
Out of curiosity: How does any argument become more or less logical depending on its context?

Your comment reads to me as if the concept of logical fallacies is only useful or valid within the framework of rhetorical competitions – or alternatively that logically invalid reasoning is useful if you're only interested in making a decision, rather than making a correct or well-informed one.
'General consensus' does not exist.

Take the Covid vaccine: it is clearly shown to reduce the risks compared to getting Covid without it, and still there is no consensus about getting vaccinated, and there never will be. Getting to 100% vaccination rate will be a social trauma.

Another example, climate change: the science is clear and easy to understand. The root cause is known for more than hundred of years, and the effect has been clearly measured since the 1960s. The scale of the issue has been made clearer and clearer these last decades. And yet, even beyond people holding interest in the current status quo, there are still people resisting this consensus, attributing any attempt to make society change there a polarizing and partisan issue.

So no, people would not do it.
Umm we're talking about being young in the 60s here though right?

> I’d expect some laws to be national

The reality in the United States is that the only national law in situations where you don't explicitly deal with the federal government is the Consitution, and even then the Constitution is interpreted differently by different states.

The states are more or less free to ignore (refuse to enforce) federal law. How do you think certain states legalised weed, illegal immigration and refuse to enforce the NFA in certain situations?

Andalusian tongues have different words and different tenses. However, these are dialects because they have not been politicized like Catalan or Basque (less the Galician).

In the case of Galician, one of the first to write in the Galician language was Alfonso X, the Castilian king, so there’s that to using languages as a political tool.
Yeah, exactly. This comparison is a stretch, it compares different things and tries to shoehorn them together. I'm surprised that your comment is this low in the thread.
I agree with you, the goal is obviously instant gratification. Which is the problem. Most of the stuff that is good for us is in the delayed gratification camp.

We're discovering that due to increased aggression (alcohol), increased aging rates and increased cancer risk (alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, vaping, etc), these substances as a whole contribute to lower life expectancies. For alcohol and tobacco it's usually the worst kind, their users reduce life expectancies for <<others>>.

It's not super clear cut and research is still ongoing. Plus a government ban without popular support was the Prohibition, which everyone considers a dumb move these days.

This whole thing would need popular support, even more than that, <<consensus>>. People need to realize these problems and find solutions for them, and only then ban them, to formalize this decision.

As mentioned, I've since done some checking Graeber & Wengrow and Bateson's 'schizmogenesis'. Downloaded and finished reading one of G & W's papers available online and although not directly relevant it gives me food for thought.

Also, I note their new book The Dawn of Everything which seems relevant. Bit pricey, but probably worth it seeing it's quite a tome at 703 pages.

Again, thanks for the info.

> Take the spec for all sorting algorithms (giving observational equivalence):

It's not that simple. You also have to specify the effect set of the algorithm, meaning, assuming we do in place sort: every memory cell other that the input array are unchanged after termination. (If you return a fresh array, you have to specify something related). You also have to specify what happens for general sorting predicates, for example if the sorting predicate prints out the element it compares then this reveals (much of) the algorithm.

> The compression is stripping away the 'how'

The sorting example shows that this largely doesn't work in practise. In my experience for non-trivial programs you tend to have to carry around invariants whose complexity matches the size of the program you are verifying.

> I'm convinced that larger scale proof automation is way more essential than HoTT.

I strongly agree, but currently this proof automation is largely a hope, rather than a reality.

> crazy type hackery as seen in Haskell or Scala

Haskell and Scala have (local) type-inference. That makes those complex types (somewhat) digestible.

> dependent types just for refinement

If / when this really works well, so that you don't pay a price when you are not using complex types, then this would be very nice. I don't think PL technology is there yet. (I'm currently using a refinement typing approach in production code.)

Those aren't features of Kubernetes.

If you like you can install a free ingress such as NginX and route traffic to it.

If you like you can just have logs on your physical nodes and go look one by one, just as you would have to before things like k8s came along. Datadog is a value add. It's not essential.

GCP preemptible VMs are nothing to do with k8s - they are literally designed to be short-term (up to 24 hours) VMs to do things with. Yes, GKE can use them, but not as persistent resources. That's not what they're for.

Here's what they're for:

> Preemptible VMs are Compute Engine VM instances that last a maximum of 24 hours, and provide no availability guarantees.

I.e. don't try and "get away with" them. There are plenty of options for cheap K8s.
That’s nonsense in Italy and Germany there are other languages/dialects too and nobody changes the name to the main common language.

In the Absence of a Xeon Roadmap, Intel Makes Us Draw One
if you have not known what a ring buffer is, may I suspect you to be a developer who taught yourself?
I went the Everything way and gave up trying to remember what is where. Not a perfect solution but a huge productivity bump for me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everything_(software)
Saw a developer position recently which stated remote, but with expectation to come into the office twice a week. This would include workers from quite far away who would likely spend the day travelling, or have to spend two nights a week away from home.

This seemed very odd - why would I need to schlep my laptop to come into the office to do the same job I do at home? I mean the occasional on-site is fine, but twice a week?

My conclusion was either that they wanted to have two day-long onsite meetings a week and damn the productivity hit and travel costs (Red Flag #1) or their management was deeply insecure and had to somehow justify their existence (or a property rent payment) by dragging their dev team into the office (Red Flag #2).

I mean either commit to remote or stick to on-prem, but this made their management look like idiots.

Exactly on point. In Portugal, another southern-europe country, the rituals are quite similar. Drinking is normal.

Getting drunk though, used to be very not appreciated and shameful. Actually it is not very "macho" to be drunk because then you look vulnerable; out of control. The contrary of the cultural form of macho. This goes to the point that there used to be a thing where people who got drunk knew they should either quietly leave or just be very quiet. Hell even I still follow that. The downside of that is that alcoholism in Portugal is a very private matter and often not properly treated. Families break apart, but nobody from the outside sees it. When drunk, leave or shut up.

One thing I have a bit of a difficulty in Poland is that generally people have a very fast drinking rhythm that I know will lead me to drunkenness pretty fast and i come out as a wuss or not a jolly guy, because I reject such rhythm. On the other hand people look at me sideways when if I drink regularly a glass of wine or beer at meals. One of the things that got me a bit sad was losing the ability to drink a beer(20-0.33cl) beer at work break lunch as this is illegal here and very frowned upon. Another thing is the drinking and driving. In Portugal and quite a lot of countries in Europe(Germany for example) the blood-alcohol limit is 0.5, which allows for a single glass of wine or a 20cl beer, but in Poland it is 0.2 which means one is effectively banned from drinking at all if driving. Truth be told I believe the 0 drink and driving is the way to go. I know of too many situations where people start with good intentions and get carried away. Nowadays when i go to Portugal I feel be guilty if i even touch a drink at a meal and drive afterwards(very common due to the restaurant culture).

In Portugal, nowadays there is a normalization of the drunkenness in younger people as a way to signal one is having fun, but it feels an imported thing. Binge drinking is also on the rise, with day to day drinking falling.

I wish more companies out there actually explained their reasoning behind decisions, instead of essentially just going like: "We're doing this because of undisclosed reasons, please accept that this is how things are going to be."

You're mixing function programming and pure functional programming.

> That's only because those languages are not purely functional. If you have state mutations and side effects you're not doing FP at all.

You can be doing functional programming with state and mutations. Functional programming is about having first-class functions and using them, and often takes the form of function composition and higher-order functions.

> Just because a language is known as a "functional language" doesn't mean anything and everything you are able to do in that language qualifies as FP.

That is true. But you can have an impure codebase and still be doing FP without issues.
