Honestly, I don't see how a ruling against the web designer would work. If she really doesn't want to do it, couldn't she just make a really crappy website that nobody would want to use? If so, then the ruling is pointless. If not, how could you prove in court, beyond a reasonable doubt that she was doing it intentionally and she wasn't just bad at her job?

They might well rule that web design counts as speech, and so she doesn't have to make speech she disagrees with by designing a website for a gay wedding. If this is how it goes, then logically, the ruling would apply to a narrower set of services than the article suggests. Things like selling flowers and catering don't have any significant creative component and so don't qualify as "speech" that needs to be free. Even the wedding cake case that made it to the supreme court wouldn't qualify, since the couple was refused before they said anything about the cake's design; they hadn't asked the baker to "say" anything at all.
It's fine to be upset about the Overton window of American politics, but I don't think it's too egregious that an American publication describe their politics within the usual political language of their country.

Or, at the very least, it's not deceptive to call themselves "centre" as neoliberals in a country where the majority understand "centre" to mean "neoliberals" (even if they don't actually know what "neoliberals" means.)
I don't think precedent has been established here by the cake shop case.

The Supreme Court has already turned away cases that it thought were similar to it:

> Another predominate case involving anti-discrimination laws and religious freedom that was in the court system during Masterpiece was the Arlene's Flowers lawsuit in Washington, with the issue over flower arrangements being provided for a same-sex wedding. Prior to the decision in Masterpiece, a petition for writ of certiorari had been issued to the Supreme Court. Following the decision of Masterpiece, the flower shop owner used that decision to assert that they were shown similar religious hostility, and requested their case to be reheard. On June 25, 2018, the Supreme Court dismissed the pending petition, and ordered that lower courts review the flower shop's case in a similar light as Masterpiece. [0]

If this were settled "factual ground," why would they take this case up instead of similarly turning it away?

BT is resistant to content spoofing. So unless the users download arbitrary .torrent files from untrusted sources, it will be hard to inject malware this way. You'd need to find hash collisions for the contents of the torrent. It would have some privacy implications, as you end up announcing "I'm using this OS!" to your peers (well, it's a high probability that you are at least).

I used to get one recruitment email a week. Now I get two a day.

The problem is that they’re all crap. They’re always recruiters who just try to herd me like livestock. And they never have any useful answers.

Objectivity as an ideal often prompts people with otherwise good integrity to both-sides issues where one side is clearly malicious or dishonest. Objectivity isn't the goal of journalism and shouldn't be: truth and clarity should be.
This is very cool. Nice job on this! I like how slick the UI feels when I'm scrolling up and down the tutorial steps.

One quick piece of feedback that I saw right away: Clicking on the next step on the left and then seeing the video update on the right is distracting, so I ended up not even reading the text on the left after a while.

Perhaps you could show "subway stops" on the left to indicate which step you are and how many there are in total, and then have the instruction text above or below the video? The way it works now, your eyes have to dart back and forth from left to right to read the text and then watch the video.

Anyway, best of luck with this.

Blacks, indigenous and hispanics have the lowest rates of vaccination in both Canada and US. If you think they are all "attempting an insurrection with daily QAnon rallies", you are living in alternate universe. I was there at the protest for 3 weekends and many of the people I met were vaxxed but opposed mandates. My buddy I was there with was also vaxxed but he took it because of coercion from the federal government because he works for them. There were nurses who took care of COVID patients for 2 years, gained natural immunity from infection and then were fired for not taking an unnecessary shot. There was even a vaxxed lady whose grandmother is 108 years old, had been given 4 shots and yet the nursing home isn't allowing them to meet in person due to COVID. These aren't political points which you are trying to make.

You've posted a video of a Chinese restaurant whose management is at the very least xenophobic, or maybe racist. (Assuming the video is accurate.)

And I frown on that, for sure.

But that's light-years away from the US government incarcerating all Americans with Chinese heritage simply because of that heritage.

You're right that it could happen again.

But it would be unConstitutional and racist AF. And that's not the kind of America I want to see. Frankly, it's not the kind of America you should want to see, either. We're supposed to be better than that.

We must remain vigilant against this weakness.
5th amendment: "...nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law..." Pretty sure freezing someone's bank account based on some suspicion alone, is depriving them of their property without due process, and not remotely equivalent to driving without a license (or a duly revoked license), so your comparison is really off base.

Maybe you could possibly argue this way if upon freezing their accounts they called them up and said "Hey, your account is closed, come pick up your cash", but I'm pretty sure that is not the case here, and it is rather more like a civil-asset-forfeiture situation, where they'll likely need to go to court to regain access.

Now, all that being said, this is Canada, so I don't honest know whether there is an equivalent to the 5th amendment in their charter of rights, or whether there is some legal weasel word (e.g. "reasonable") that somehow provides a loophole for all this.
I should have been more clear: I've never met anyone who's into TDD and isn't ultra-dogmatic about it.

How and When to Make a Move in Your Career as a Software Engineer
Hangon. The reason this shitstorm kicked up in the first place, and was getting retweeted by PG, Sam Altman, and lots of reasonable people (not to mention provoking the libertarian wing to frothing at the mouth), was that the deputy PM said:

"The names of both individuals and entities as well as crypto wallets have been shared by the RCMP with financial institutions and accounts have been frozen and more accounts will be frozen."

And this story was run in Bloomberg: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-02-17/police-be...

So I think it's not fair to dismiss this as fake news coming from "unsubstantiated claims by a Conservative MP" as your comment seems to do. The story came from the government's own deputy PM!

In the video, the deputy PM sounded like she was being vague, either obfuscating or because she was out of depth on the specifics. So if this statement wasn't true as-quoted (maybe she mis-spoke or wasn't precise), then that's great news.

So, maybe it is actually true that they did not share names with the banks. But I think it would be quite naive to take the latest claim at face value, after all they did make a contradictory claim previously. This is the sort of thing governments lie about and try to spin their way out of all the time. It's entirely plausible that they did share the info, did not expect the blowback they got, and are now in damage control mode trying to walk this back and pretend it didn't happen.

I was referring to the expected outcome of the Supreme Court essentially overturning Roe v Wade later this year.

The rest of your comment is agreeable, but does not address the jist of mine which is that the President can and does have an effect on people’s every day lives in a noticeable way, hence people paying attention to them in the news.

> People seem to forget that the purpose of democracy is to give a chance to make sure your own interests are heard, not to give you an opportunity to impose your will on the rest of the country

As an aside, this is what the pro abortion choice position is. The people who want an abortion can get one, and the people who do not, do not get one. The abortion anti choice bloc wants to impose their will the rest of the country/state/city/whatever.
> Intrusive, maybe, but a dark pattern is 'deceit by design' whereas what you're describing seems to me 'being slightly annoying by design', which is a totally different thing.

This is not a totally different thing. Both are examples of coercive/deceptive behavior. That makes them the same sort of thing, but differing by degree.
I forgot to play one day, so at just after midnight, I set my TZ to Hawaii to catch up. After I finished, I set it back to PST.

When I went to play the next day's game, it acted like I had already solved the puzzle at midnight. I had to manually edit localStorage to fix my state (or presumably skip a game).

This was when it was still hosted on Josh's site, but be weary of changing TZs to get other day's puzzles. The game might get confused.
Any business that can call their product/service “speech” would have federal protection letting their business to discriminate against anyone, even in the 19 states that have anti-LGBT discrimination laws on the books (the state laws would be overruled by the supremacy clause). So even though the court is ignoring the religious aspect of the case, the outcome will very much matter to religious business owners.

This just spectacularly bad advice and policy. Point performance is the worst way to decide about error handling.

The overlap between "things that fail and the caller knows something useful to do", and "things that fail and somebody maybe six levels back in the call chain might know something to do" is remarkably thin. Most things are the latter. Once in a while, it makes sense to provide one for each: (1) open a file, and it had better succeed or you might have to bail out, or (2) see if a file is there.

The reason exception is the default, aside from that there are plenty of ways to return an error report, is that when you need code to clean up, the destructors are right there. They get exercised every time through the code, so are well-tested. How often is your special-snowflake error handler ever exercised? And the next one? And the next one? Even before you have given a moment's thought to error handling, your destructors are cleaning up, correctly. So, even if you haven't written code to handle it, your program has remained in a well-defined state. And, very often, you don't even need to write them: they are auto-generated from things the compiler already knows.

If you have set up a high-level catch block, you get there without fuss, and that code knows something correct to do, even if it is only to shut down cleanly. If you left a record of what was about to be attempted, that code knows what to try next.

E.g., in Azure, in theory, we should PoLP the access controls.

(I understand LDAP's design better now, and I even like it, but it the onboarding is braindeath.)

There are any number of k8s dashboards that would give my coworkers better vis … and basically none that have an auth story.

The piece breathlessly describes the West as literally Stalinism. Is anyone being arrested in the middle of the night on trumped up charges? Or are democracies passing laws making it harder for bigots to openly be bigots, and giving them due process when they break the law?

Nobody claimed democracies will pass laws you have to like, it turns out bigotry is wildly unpopular and hard to defend, so without a First Amendment, free speech tends to become circumscribed. Democracies can pass awful laws, yes. But what is the breathless author presenting as an alternative?

Edit: and here come the downvotes by people who believe I’m committing wrongthink by pointing out its mostly bigotry being targeted.
I'm pretty sure OSS gets a free ride on mirrors, because of peering agreements: if traffic between networks is equal, nobody has a case that they're the stronger party on negotiations, so no money changes hands. If there's an asymmetry, theres' an argument that one side has more demand or need for peering and use that as leverage to demand payment. So smaller ISPs that want to balance out a lopsided consumer traffic, will set up mirrors to protect themselves from this.

Since OSS is free to redistribute, a loose federation of mirrors has set up to better match ISPs who want to send more bytes with projects that need to send a lot of bytes.

A Cursed Bug
I think the legal system ought to prioritize principles over practicality.

We could replace the first amendment with "just don't say anything controversial". We could replace the right to privacy with "just don't have anything you want to hide".

It's important to define our rights and freedoms. The question of whether we want customers to be able to compell speech is an important one.
Heh...the wiki article says this bill abolishes the offense of blasphemy, while also simultaneously instituting a secular version of the exact same crime. Quite the feat if you think about it.
Who else would be there to witness the speechcrime though?
The "L" stands for level, and that makes it even more wrong. MLC should have been been QLC or DBC, and TLC should have been OLC or TBC. It's two bits and four levels, or three bits and eight levels. The latest "QLC" flash has 16 levels (and is a massive step down in performance and reliability; it seems TLC is the sweet spot, at least right now, unless you really want the absolute cheapest, performance be damned).

Interestingly enough, Apple has a patent for 8-bit cell flash (256 levels!), going full blown analog processing and error correction, but I don't think that ever became a product.
I think the specific action is relevant here. It's overly reductive to call it "glorifying something you personally find to be immoral." The question is closer to, "Is it discrimination to refuse to make a work that portrays a protected class positively?"

Democratic would suggest that people are peacefully voting, not fighting to secede.

What you said can equally apply on the level of people in the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic, or on the level of Russia. It is not unique to Ukraine.

I wonder if society truly had freedom of speech and democracy whether the PROBLEM I described above would happen. It is not unique to Ukraine. Look at China and Tibet, for instance, or Hong Kong. Or Catalonia and Spain, Basques and France. Or Tamil Tigers, PKK, PLO, to name a few of the more radical ones.

If you step back you will see that every country is trying to control the narrative, including through mass media and education. A year ago Zelenskyy closed down at least three media outlets [1] that were in agreement with the Russian narrative for instance, presumably as “enemies of the people”. The statesmen don’t listen to the other side and they don’t want you to listen either. The less you hear from others they demonize, the more willing you are to take up arms and fight against other people — who, like you — were either riled up or conscripted to fight for what flag will fly over what territory.

As it is, it sounds like various people are absolutely willing to fight on all sides, for all kinds of nationality stuff, but the vast majority would rather not. Shouldn’t a democracy care about what the vast majority wants?

Are you using flutter for the web, how is your experience with its performance
It's very likely that this case can also gut even the most basic civil rights as described in Mark Joseph Stern's piece over at Slate: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2022/02/supreme-court-30...

> If ADF prevails, businesses may secure a right to discriminate against anyone as long as their work involves speech. A racist photographer could refuse to shoot an interracial wedding. An antisemitic florist could refuse to provide flowers to a Bat Mitzvah. A hairdresser could refuse to serve Black people. A chef could refuse to cater a quinceañera. The list goes on; every commercial transaction involves expression, and every civil rights law is enforced through compelled speech. If a business’ First Amendment rights outweigh the government’s interest in ending discrimination, few non-discrimination laws will be safe from constitutional attack.

I fear that this SCOTUS will pull that trigger.

In this case, of course, a Fourth Amendment and a Fifth Amendment also help a great deal.
