I don't think this is in any way a viable long-term strategy. I think the vast majority will develop resistance or immunity which most people already seem to have. Maybe the other group need a preventative, but a yearly shot is unrealistic.
This is a surprising comment, and especially this part:

> it's kind of evident that writing clearly wasn't in Knuth's DNA just by reading his famous books

— my experience, from reading (parts of) several of Knuth's books and papers, is the very opposite: Knuth is one of the finest writers, and writing is clearly in Knuth's DNA — even among the many hats he has worn (mathematician, programmer, computer scientist, teacher), at heart of everything is writing. (His Selected Papers on Fun and Games includes some stuff he wrote in high school and college; even those show his spirit.)

IMO, every page of his is a delight to read. I think the issue for those who find it otherwise may be that he writes in a very personal way (his personality shines through), and for those who are looking for something bland or generic, this can be a surprise.

Then again, this may be one of the chief problems with literate programming in general (why it works so well with one author, and doesn't seem to have had much success with a large team): writing is very personal, and for many-person codebases something "generic" may in fact work better.
What would you prefer?

"That's valid, we'll fix this"?
Right, that's a very good point, thanks for mentioning it. I'm talking a lot about specifically harms to Black communities, but that's just the really specific lens/example I'm using to talk about it, those harms aren't restricted to Black communities, and they interact with a lot of economic systems that can harm really any community that doesn't have a lot of economic power.

"Nothing about us without us" is another good example. It impacts Black communities, but also gets brought up a lot in LGBTQ+ spaces and in other minority communities. This stuff is really intersectional.
Obviously if you don't have driver support for the kernel you run, you can't use old stuff if you want to, but we had SDR IB running quite a long time without support. I don't have happy experience of HPC vendor support anyway, and unfortunately IB is now a Mellanox monoculture.
Maybe. None of the folks mentioned in the article are radicals—the interim Dean is a telecom lawyer and extremely average Midwestern dude. But the whole thing has a tone of “quasi-religious ritual” that gives me the creeps. (Also, as a “brown guy” I’d have been mortified to have had my professors get up and declare themselves "gatekeepers of white supremacy.")
> For most companies, hiring good quality FTEs is complicated, and very expensive.

This is cope - managers repeat this narrative so they can blame some other factor rather than having to put in the work to fix the problem of hiring good FTEs. Unfortunately, this narrative has been repeated so often that it is perceived to be axiomatic, which is why it is repeated without any criticism.

No, its not that hard to find good FTEs, you just haven't tried hard enough, or you're not paying enough, or your glassdoor reviews are bad.
> One criminal law professor at a top law school told me he’s even stopped teaching theories of punishment because of how negatively students react to retributivism—the view that punishment is justified because criminals deserve to suffer.

While stopping teaching due to student fragility is rather unfortunate. I have to say this is one aspect of America's brand of justice that I think needs to change. My lay understanding is that retribution simply does not work -- and often is actually counterproductive, especially once you price in the cost of enacting the retribution. Furthermore a vengeful society or plaintiff needs to have some cooling off time, or spiritual growth to come to grips with the reality that life is full of horrific things and that making the best of it (neither nihilism nor resentfulness) is the true optimization of the system.

Instead I'd suggest that American justice needs to focus purely on rehabilitation. How can what remains be optimized? Yes that might even include giving an education to a <insert deplorable> so that they can contribute net positively to society.
Yes, I definitely put that up as a real Scotsman. The "real (Java) engineers" at my company scoff at the loosey-gooey attempts of the Python engineers trying to productionalize the numpy mess produced by our ML-engineers. I mean, how can you "productionalize" anything without Builders and Factories?
Of note: one of the co-authors of this article, Patrick Toomey, is a US Senator (R-Pennsylvania). The fact that someone in Congress is involved in this issue increases, however marginally, the odds that it will be addressed.

It's probably a negligible portion of drunk driving incidents, but there definitely are people like that. In the past year there have been multiple drunk driving incidents with well-paid NFL players in nice cars, and these are just the ones who get caught. Whether those guys would turn on self driving mode is another question I guess, but every time it's baffling they didn't just request an Uber Black or something.
If perfection is the bar for being allowed to drive, then nobody is allowed to drive because there is no such thing as a perfect driver.
There still should be a utility box somewhere near, if necessary the utility should have been able to kill power to the whole sub-division.

Every commercial building in the US I've seen has a big huge switch outside (temptation to throw it has been moderate sometimes).

The point about UPS continuing to provider power even after the utility is cut is critical, though.
There is the old quote that we've all seen: "On two occasions I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." - Charles Babbage

I will say, I have some good news for the late great Charles Babbage. For the most part, people now do indeed understand that if you put small amounts of wrong figures into a machine, the wrong answers will come out. If nothing else, pocket calculators and math class have given them the direct experience of this.

However, it seems that people still expect that if you put gigabytes or petabytes worth of wrong figures into a machine that somehow the right answer will pop out.

Ah well. The road never ends, you know.
Speaking just to the elite law school angle, her concerns are not illegitimate or unfounded, but they are blown out of proportion. Doing my best on phone; this isn't as thorough or nuanced as I'd like.

I myself was extremely irked that many of my progressive law school classmates were basically like Trump supporters in that they cared more about their desired policy goals and outcomes than the underpinnings of the law, and didn't have much of a value system beyond their ideologies. They would love to pack the courts with ideologues like conservatives have been fairly successful at doing.

But that was a minority of people. What's more, our professors were definitely not of the same mind. The prof I had for con law, for example, is a prominent, highly regarded young liberal intellectual who posed hypotheticals to challenge the class's liberal assumptions, chiding us with "you guys are good liberals right?" He also regularly attends FedSoc panels (the FedSoc chapter at Columbia is doing just fine btw).

She also simply fails to understand how unmoving and slow-to-change the law is. She presents it as much more fungible and modifiable than it is. Her pointing to Breyer re: preemptory challenges is dumb, and almost a counter-argument, given that Breyer is not a particularly ideological justice.

Weiss is an uncredentialed pseudo-intellectual who has latched onto a real problem, but who does not have the knowledge or experience to write competently on the subject.
This request for money was both too late (after you've been using the OSS project) and too early (before there was a concrete need). The latter is especially bad because if you haven't had a need yet, why do you think that there will be one in the future?

It might have worked better to treat the OSS project as a "free trial but we pay start paying after 90 days" from the beginning.

Actually, thank you for posting this question. Before having to step down, the former Attorney General for New York began publicly to take a serious look at provisions like these which he felt were contrary to public policy.
Despite what anyone else will tell you, big companies do seek to enforce these contracts in court from media companies to MLB. So, while this is what the lawyers drafted for them, do you want to be bound to that possibility?
It depends (yes, I really hate that phrase too). A front-end developer working on a geospatial mobile app may not mind at all if his next job is working for an e-commerce site. But for someone who is pursuing a more specialized path, these terms can stifle career goals.
> Is this surprising to anyone who has spent time on the platform?

No. "Your house is still on fire" may not be news, but it's still relevant to keep talking about until the problem is solved.
Yes, exactly. Hospital data is atrocious, on every single level. Duplicate data are everywhere across multiple systems. Hospitals move excruciatingly slow to do anything technical. And, very few people seem to ever have any real understanding of what is going on with their systems, they tend to only know the user interface and have to rely on their vendor support (Epic, Cerner, etc) for anything beyond that.

I work for a company that I was hoping would be such a disruption point for hospitals (at least in some small way), but instead they decided that it's just too difficult to get hospitals to do much of anything, so we effectively knuckle under -- creating numerous integration points, making more and more copies of data.

The only way this will change is if a large enough player creates direct competition in the EHR/EMR business, with these kinds of data-oriented models in mind, all the while creating a system that, top-to-bottom, is better for both the user, the administrator, and the technical staff. Current players in this space have very little incentive to make their products better. And it reminds me of a quote from Tron Legacy: "Given the prices we charge to students and schools, what sort of improvements have been made in Flynn... I mean, um, ENCOM OS-12?"..."This year we put a "12" on the box."
Okay, now do grouped short options - `yourscript -vo /path/to/file`. Note that getopt(3) (what CLI tools written in e.g. C would use) allows this - `grep -qf /path/to/file` works the same as `grep --quiet --file /path/to/file`. Come to think of that, you also don't allow `--output=/path/to/file` with the "=".

Argument parsing is one of those things where doing an approximation is easy, doing it correctly is hard.
ksh's declarative getopts is easy to use and automatically provides help messages, and is one major reason I use it for day-to-day scripts. It's too bad bash didn't embrace and extend that before they extinguished it.
We’re fascinated by the potential applications of crypto in content provenance. In this example, a UGC video platform would need a way to initially determine the content hasn’t been manipulated before it’s signed, right? What about a live scenario where a deepfake mimicking an exec calls a manager to wire $10M (https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2021/10/14/huge-...)

We totally recognize deepfake detection is a big & constantly evolving challenge, but we don't see that as a reason to cede the truth to bad actors :)

Kind of, I would suspect it wasn't a conscious decision for many services that do this. More like "damn we suck at session management in React" and nobody noticed or thought about why a particular view was not accessible without a pre-existing session.

The retention methods and analytics for getting them create the perverse incentives to never notice though.

"The A/B test says users looooove staying on our website! great KPI folks!"

Looking at it further, I would ignore a 15% difference if it came with any enticing reasonable. Any small difference in quality is certain to return me much more than 15%.
Controlling 51% of all staked ETH is enough to launch some attacks, but the cost of the attack is way way higher than in PoW. The gist of it is that the community can reach a new consensus in which the malicious majority staked funds simply don't exist anymore. This means any single attack costs a lot of money, and there's a well-known recovery process to negate the attack and penalize the attacker.

'Tokyo Godfathers' (which is not at all what you'd expect from the title... it's about three homeless men who find a baby) is also very good too.
I basically do not prepare for it. Either I know the answer or I do not. The vast majority of problems I face are of unknown scope at first and I have to acquire knowledge before tackling them.

While I recognize the problem as real and significant, and I think a hierarchy of concerns is a valid way to mitigate it, I feel there are a few problems in this particular pyramid.

Of all the issues that might be raised in a review, which are the most important to fix? I find it difficult to imagine a ranking in which incorrect functioning (including security vulnerabilities and truly inadequate performance) are not at the top (answering the ranking question with "all of them" would just be a way to avoid the issue.)

In this pyramid, issues of this nature are to be found at all levels except the top one, mixed in with more-or-less subjective ones, such as "Is a new API generally useful and not overly specific?" - pointless flame wars have erupted over issues such as this (also, orthogonally, code review is late in the game to be asking this one.)

For a review to be successful, its participants need to be able to restrain themselves from going down rabbit holes that could not lead to necessary rework - or a strong moderator, if the individual participants cannot act with adequate self-restraint.

That’s the trade-off between level of responsibility and capability at our current level of technological progress. Level 2 systems operate in much broader conditions but have high enough rates of failure that a driver must be attentive at all times. The jump to level 3 is mostly about responsibility. That higher level of responsibility means that the car is not going to drive itself unless it’s absolutely sure it can do it by itself.

Most videos people watch nowadays don't come from "official" authorities, whose public keys are known and signatures can be verified. When videos are recorded by random people from their smartphones, what signature are you going to verify?

Even if smartphone manufacturers start integrating digital signatures right into their cameras, you can use the smartphone to re-record a pre-recorded fake video. And I'm sure that with enough resources you can do something way more clever.

I really don't see how crypto can solve this problem. I don't think AI can either (for reasons already mentioned in this thread). It's something we'll have to learn to live with.

Automation is imperfect, and I wonder if the reality is that, if you can’t successfully automate the approval of ads or copyrighted material, or account suspension, then maybe you’re too big or trying to do too much.

Maybe the answer is that these things can’t ever be automated and if you can’t staff the process then you (and therefore nobody) should be working at this scale.
Because I do not work in the legal field so I can't verify whether what she's claiming is true or widespread.

Epic on FHIR is missing a ton of data that is present in Epic, for example if I want to react to a dispensing event, that has to be custom built as far as I know. Even then, you're long polling an endpoint hoping you find work you need to react to.

At times it feels like it would be better to just get data straight from the database, as custom Epic implementation times are insanely long and costly.
I had to do something similar in a Physics class of mine. We had to write a paper critiquing and arguing against a well known physics theory. I was really into Special Relativity at the time, so picked that one.

My professor was a Nobel laureate, so already pretty intimidating. After we each picked a theory and wrote an outline he asked that we review with him. Well, he said, “I don’t know why you’d pick that. That’s going to be too hard.” So I asked if I could change, but he said that it’s too late for that and wished me luck… I was more than happy with the C+ I got.
