I don't think the point of prison is to change your views (the system doesn't care what your views are). It's to make you less likely to re-offend and the vast majority of people to not offend at all. I would guess that there are lots of people with radical views who never act on them exactly because they are afraid of the legal consequences (e.g. prison). This means the system has worked on them.

EDIT: Not that I'm defending any particular prison system or making a moral statement here. In many countries the prison system is horrible and probably not even very optimal at preventing offences. It's just that in my mind the prison has one main purpose; to act as a deterrent for crime, and most of the time, for most of the population, it somewhat works for that purpose.
Fix K12 education first - that's where the highest plausible effects are. Vocational education can be a part of the picture, but it's actually really hard to do well.
Wow this brings back memories. While it was tedious it's something which has humbled me over the years.

Due to various laws we had to guarantee accessibility of most if not all 'official communication' to native speakers of several languages and various (dis)abilities. With some minor structural tweaks and guidance from an 'accessibility coordinator' who worked at a college we were able to realistically make it very accessible to the 1% (or lower) of the population who rely on it for their own independence, but the changes and influence permeated from the ground up and IMO made everything better for everybody.

Remember when websites let you choose the font size? Actually sitting down with people who have difficulty seeing was insightful, most of them found the font size adjuster widgets were useless, poorly located, too small or had low contrast (so as to not annoy the sighted visitors, the irony) - instead preferring to switch over to the text-only version (if available) and using keyboard shortcuts or browser settings to adjust font size.

Likewise with screen readers, we spent a lot of time annotating images and structuring links, content & context so that it made more sense and was generally predictable. We had to use them ourselves in the same way that you'd check a design across various tablet / mobile devices and browsers.

Unfortunately this kind of effort isn't made very often outside of government and charity websites these days, but accessibility software has also gotten much better over time (I was absolutely blown away when a blind guy showed me how he used is iPhone, it's much more efficient than normal visual use for core functionality).
I have no idea how to parse "score one for the Christians" Christians are a large group that cover a lot of mutually exclusive beliefs. Heck, some Christian sects believe that material prosperity is a direct reflection of how good you are, and others that voluntary poverty is the highest virtue.

In the two years I worked on serverless AWS I filed four support tickets. Three out of those four I came up with the solution or fix on my own before support could find a solution. The other ticket was still open when I left the company. But the best part is when support wanted to know how I resolved the issues. I always asked how much they were going to pay me for that information.

This is a good point that isn't given enough attention by either side.

I grew up in poverty and faced homelessness many times, and my experience anytime a public/government program was offered to help people like me specifically, it only made things worse, either directly or indirectly. Every single time.

Extra policing meant more poor people pulled over in their raggedy cars and ticketed for vain things. Food assistance meant lots of forms being filled out, and the risk that your inconsistent income might go just above the threshold next month and kick you off for the whole year when your income drops immediately thereafter. Healthcare assistance meant even more forms, confusing jargon, and always started with "don't worry, we'll take care of it" and ended with "you now owe $5000". I could write posts full of examples.

Even worse, once I identified this, I could then be labeled "too stupid to know what was best for me" or "just sticking up for the rich" when I expressed my concern for this around (mostly more privileged) friends.

Naturally I tend toward libertarian hands-off opinions on things like this now as a result, but not because I don't think food assistance or satiation of basic healthcare needs could be helpful. Quite the contrary, they could make a huge difference if done in the right balance and the right way.

But given the realities of how these things work, and have worked my entire life, the institutions creating and promoting these things are either incompetent or corrupt, or both. If all of these caring researchers and think tanks put more effort into retrospectively finding out what is going wrong with these programs as they exist today, and found a way to restore competence and trust to the programs and the institutions behind them -- if everyone could be honest about the actual results of their efforts rather than just patting themselves on the back for doing what felt good while ignoring the people they caused to suffer -- then I'd likely feel differently.

It makes me wonder if my problem growing up weren't the supposed "safety nets" that blew up in my face each time, but rather the institutions behind them, and that they should be the first problem solved before we move on to the assistance itself.
I see where you're coming from on 5 unique letters but have a strong preference the other way. The possibility of double letters adds a lot of interest to the game for me. But I can see how someone would find it annoying too.

I'm curious about the singular nouns or infinitive verbs suggestion though. What's the thinking there? Also to be clear, are you advocating for no adjectives/adverbs, or are you just restricting which nouns/verbs are allowed and allowing other types of word to be unrestricted?

"Facebook’s user base has started to shrink after revelations by whistleblowers and leaks that showed how harmful social media could be to teen users, who are flocking to less toxic competitors like TikTok anyway. "

LOL.

The problem with all these 'services' is that they need 'user engagement' to make money. They take different approaches to addict users; triggering outrage in the case of twitter, triggering aspirational yearnings in the case of instagram, voyeurism with tiktok, and so on.

They are all toxic because they need to profit from user attention.
Compilers not allowed to violate the language spec when optimizing. But the spec may be fairly generous in its allowed interpretations, which may not match what a programmer may naively expect. C, with its many undefined behaviors and implementation defined behaviors, is especially dangerous.

What artifacts are they leaving? Literally nothing has EVER been detected.

The reasons why they listen to the hydrogen line is because it’s the most easiest to detect. However, the 50 year timeframe isn’t really a problem. The entire sky has been measured multiple times in this 50 years, and nothing has been found. Unless you believe the signals passed 51 years ago, then the silence is deafening.

What we’ve seen in USA is the arrival of foreign investors who can’t get into Canada (because of ties to crime) entering high-end real estate to park their money.

From experience, it's really hard to fix the root causes of issues when you were woken up three times the night before and had two more of the same incident occur during the workday. In my case I struggled along for a couple years but the best thing to do was just leave and let it be someone else's problem.
It's important to have good foundations (memory safety) because then it becomes much more attractive to spend effort on the rest of the correctness and security. If you want to build a sturdy house, and see how to make the roof well, don't give up on it just because you'll need to do something else for good doors and windows.

a) Who would pay for it? We just spent TRILLIONS of dollars propping up businesses during COVID. No one asked "who will pay for it". We have the money and should think of it as an investment. So who would pay for it? We all would. Why? Because it is worth it and it is compassionate and it will make this country (U.S.) a better, happier place.

b) Who will do the work? All the automation will do the work. They have kiosks up in McDonalds right now that mean they only need one person needs to be at a register. But as far as it disincentivizes work..nit has been show it does not, but still people cannot believe this.

"Overall, the programs analyzed suggest either no effect on labor market supply or a slight reduction in work and earnings. The evidence does not suggest an average worker will drop out of the labor force when provided with unconditional cash, even when the transfer is large."

"After the decline of traditional faith, the ensuing churn of political religions makes me believe that total religiosity is largely conserved; we’ve just been shuffling it around between better or worse vessels."

The conservation of religiosity makes a lot of sense. Religious behavior keeps re-emerging because it isn't something done to us, imposed from outside, but because it is somehow produced by our own psycho-biology.

That's something of an argument for secular organizations to adapt the trappings and ceremonies of religions, to make themselves more sustainable by satisfying those inherent cravings. The military seems to have discovered this.

This is my perspective as a life-long atheist, trying to understand the behavior of normal humans. But it may be like a color blind person trying to understand the reaction to a vibrant painting. Maybe I just lack the sense to detect the external religiosity beamed to me by an omnipresent deity.

Zed Shaw doesn't really like C because it lets you shoot yourself in the foot. This is an OK opinion to have, but then he goes and writes books about C that basically talk about how the language is bad (ok, I guess?) but the then claims he has solutions to these problems, without understanding that the problems he has with C are not solvable within the language (for example, when handed an arbitrary pointer, there is no way to tell whether it is valid).

Casey Muratori is fundamentally at odds with how undefined behavior works in C and has opinions™ on how to fix the language to make things work the way he wants them to, when in reality he just probably wants another language.
True but you often want people to make updates that can only either edit markdown files or use some frontend that then calls the build process. (marketing people, copywriters etc).

My favorite example of the safety net not working is when my wife applied for unemployment, she was told she didn't make enough while she was employed to qualify for assistance. That's right, she was too poor to qualify for help.

Their solution? Go get a job and make more money, then she could qualify for unemployment. Gee thanks, I wish I had thought of that plan.

>The very same problem you have with Turkish.

Not really the same. The brokenness of more complex text transformations (collation, alphabetization, upper-casing, lower-casing) seems a bit less catastrophic than breaking the fundamental ability to unambiguously draw the character.

If you don't think that's an important goal.... then what are "character sets" for anyway?
The B3 JIT Compiler (2016)
My assertion is that Rust gets enough of this other stuff right that unlike C++ it doesn't start out more painful than languages I've used with GC. I can only speak for my own experience writing software in these languages and so that doesn't allow for questions like whether Rust programmers are rare or expensive which might influence whether you make a .NET thing or a Rust thing.

When things get more complicated sure, Rust can mean you spend too much time figuring out how lifetimes should best work compared to a GC environment. But even a fancy GC doesn't promise to release unused resources promptly, so for non-memory resources you can end up needing to care about lifetimes anyway, and the GC languages do not prioritise this problem.

FWIW the phrase you probably wanted is "en masse" from the French meaning "as a body" not in mass.
Thanks. I’ll try that after I install it, which will be after I finish watching your very nice videos.
I guess enemies of a state should be using feature phones?
So it sounds like you gave them an opportunity to use their devices productively, and they couldn't, so they don't get to use your phone. Had you not been able to do that, your screen time would kick in and do the same to you. Seems reasonable to me?
How are they responsible for what happens by chance? Do you worry your kids will grow up to idolize lottery winners? How do you think this attitude helps them?
It gives some people good feeling when they can share good things with others. And some do it for self marketing. And some maybe for self esteem, like Instagram but tech stuff.
Well no the issue is not monetization. Dating apps should not be profitable. It is an extreme conflict of interest against successfully matching users and getting them off the app. You cannot possibly expect to do this faithfully if you are making money off your users.

It is basic supply and demand. How could universities charge so much if no one could pay for it? They would have to lower prices.
Cloudflare pages, right now, seems to be both the actual hosting, as well as a system for continuous deployment, bundled into one product. You push updates to GitHub, it runs your build (can be any arbitrary script) and then you tell it the folder that contains the built site at the end.

So you could totally build everyting locally and commit the site into a Git repo and use it in that way. It would be nice to have a non-GitHub way to just shove my built website into CF Pages but I don't know if that is on the roadmap.
Yeah that's the thing when an everyday American--and especially a political insider--thinks of espionage, they seem to think of it from the protagonical perspective, like they're going to be James Bond and they're going to have legal privileges ("license to kill") and they're going to have the technological upper hand always. They think spying will benefit them, that they're destined to win because that's how it has always been. Despite identifying much more with the underdog in most contests, Americans don't identify with underdogs in espionage. With exceptions, like in movies about guys beating the system because of a branch of the government "went rogue."
Your use of the word happy is a bit of a stretch. Welcome to realpolitik. Presently Germany is more than "happy" to look the other way on Ukraine for desperate need of Russian gas.
That depends on how you define complexity. It is far easier to write a working program without memory leaks, various types of vulnerabilities, and undefined behavior in Rust than it is in C.

"A young(er) politician can also be just as corrupt."

I agree they can be. I think it's more common or to a greater degree with older ones, simply because they've built up more connections and "favors" over the years. But yeah, the whole private sector job after being a regulator/politician is huge, especially with the FDA.

My state had an age limit set for judges to retire at 70. It required a referendum to change. They wanted to change the age to 75. At first they wrote the referendum to inform the voters of the fact that current forced retirement age is 70 and the measure would raise it to 75. The court determined that disclosing the existing limit was biased. They had to rewrite it to basically ask "should judges retire at 75" with no mention of the current limit.

It passed overwhelming because people didn't know the existing limit was 70. Many said they never would have voted to raise the age and would prefer it stay at 70. So the courts were biased to extend their own ruling time, and knowingly duped the public into raising the limit by keeping them uninformed.

As a side note, once a judge is forced to retire, they can still be a judge. They just can't be elected/retained. They basically work on a contract basis. They do this because they say there are a lack of judges.
> Majority of CVE's are because of C memory model

“Memory safety” (or lack thereof) is probably less ambiguous: usually “memory model” is the interaction between program and memory, specifically as it pertains to concurrency. And in the latter understanding I believe C has about the same model as C++, which is also the one adopted by Rust. And while it’s fiddly, it’s not a complete disaster.
I came here to ask why these instructions didn’t just use GitHub pages. Especially since it seems it is targeted toward a person that this is a stretch for, and GH pages would be easier.

So anyway, downtime is one reason I suppose. Are there others?
Which costs you more than $100k monthly to operate with the same level of manageability and reliability.

We don't use AWS, because our use cases don't require that level of reliability and we simply cannot afford it, but if I needed a company to depend on IT that generates enough revenue... I probably wouldn't argue about the AWS bill.

That particular for-loop in a dynamically typed language is pretty much a worst-case scenario for the interpreter.

I think one should just vectorize the solution from the get-go! np.accumulate looks like the right way to go about things in this example.

Btw the J implementation would be >. /\ and the k implementation would be |\ which is I think much better than the for loop anyway.
I'm sure there are lots of people who would benefit from sleeping on their back on a firm surface. I have mild positional sleep apnea. When I sleep on my back I stop breathing a few times an hour. Sleeping on my back might improve some things but isn't good for me having a restful nights sleep.
Using micro-services instead of monoliths is a great way for software engineers to reduce the complexities of their code. Unfortunately, it moves the complexity to operations. In an organization with a DevOps culture, the software engineers still share responsibility for resolving issues that occur between their micro-service and others.

In other organizations, individual teams have ICDs and SLAs for one or more micro-services and can therefore state they're meeting their interface requirements as well as capacity/uptime requirements. In these organizations, when a system problem occurs, someone who's less familiar with the internals of these services will have to debug complex interactions. In my experience, once the root-cause is identified, there will be one or more teams who get updated requirements - why not make them stakeholders at the system-level and expedite the process?
What is "tight ANSI C"?
I'd argue that timezone is just part of the problem. If you're responsible for a high oncall load, you are subjected to a steady, unpredictable stream of interrupts requiring you to act to minimize downtime or degradation. Obviously it's worse if you get these at night, but it's still bad during the day.

I think the anti-pattern is having one team responsible for another's burden. You want teams to both be responsible for fixing their own systems when they break, AND be empowered to build/fix their broken systems to minimize oncall incidents.
