if the "red" function isn't successful, than you're mapping that error to what? a RuntimeException? great – you've now escaped the indirection with the original solution – just use RuntimeExceptions.

map it to another checked exception and you now have a "blue" function. and, you also have another layer of abstraction in your errors.

if you can't actually handle the error, skip the circus and just let the exception propagate to a general error boundary (alongside all those RuntimeExceptions you're unaware of).

It's a deep ocean, your defense mechanism of guarding against Checked Exceptions is a small fraction of all exceptions.

To be fair, I did really like the idea of checked functions when I first started using Java. But in practice, it's just too hard to tell what operations should be Checked / Unchecked (sometimes).

>proof-of-breach

Maybe you're referring to a "proof of concept"? A "proof of breach" in the security industry is an incident to be investigated, and if necessary, involve law enforcement. It isn't meddling kids that didn't cause any harm. As a side note, I've never heard anyone use the term "proof of breach" in that context in the industry.

The fact that Okta didn't detect this earlier is concerning in its own right, let's not downplay the fact that the level of access that third party providers have is not a solved issue in the industry. The RCA/post mortem/follow up actions from Okta's side should not be "they got access but didn't do anything with it, we don't need to change anything".

People on both ends of the political spectrum are pretty constantly trying to cancel Ken White. People on the left claim he's a pawn of the Koch Brothers (especially for his vocal support of FIRE), and on the right because he's vehemently opposed to Donald Trump. He's received semi-credible death threats.

This seems like another instance of what Dan Gackle refers to as "notice-dislike" bias: you're unlikely to notice as much when people say things you don't find objectionable, but notice acutely when they say things you find problematic. We all have that bias; it's a limitation of our cognition.

That's a pretty tendentious view of both Popehat's expressed opinion and the NYTime's article.

Popehat is pretty clearly against what he defines as "cancel culture," and the NYTimes article is primarily about journalists and elite opinion writers not liking backtalk from their readers.

I genuinely don't know how else they could describe what's going on. Braying means speaking loudly and harshly - an accurate description of how many public figures on the right discuss cancel culture. It's colorful language, sure, but it's an op-ed, which mean's its someone's opinion.
Love is the most common one in the west. The idea that you can know another person completely, and that your strong feelings are proof of future dedication. Love is ultimately just feelings, and in a more logical society we wouldn't value feelings that evolved to make us pass on genes and anything but a strange quirk. Many people can even recognize that others are probably just fools in love, but they are always convinced their love is really a supernatural force rather than a simple feeling

Cancel culture isn't particularly new, either - the name is, but it was going on when I was a kid. The only difference was that the same people who are cheering it on now (like, I'm sure, Popehat) are the same ones who were raging against it when it was the religious right doing it.

>you yourself originally acknowledged that the question had been apparently interpreted as "do you have?

apparently? no, but from where you falsely quote the 'original questions "Did you get them?" or "Do you have them?"'

again, having and getting are not the same thing

>...still stands

>Who introduced the mixed tenses?

you did with "Did you get them?". keep up laddy!

>Sure, if one is determined not to get the point. Actually what I said was pretty simple: Of the two alternatives "do what.. do have? do got??", "do have" is obviously the intended one, because it has the same tense throughout; "do got" is ungrammatical and never used. What's "complicated" about that?

if anything it's a contraction of "do have got", if it was interpreted as just "do have", then we come back to the point of having not being the same as getting. you're complicating it by changing the verb, which in turn invalidates your answer. throwing the oneage around to try and sound sophisticated doesn't change this fact

Automation Is a Myth
Some HNers might be interested in the book below, which is coming out in a couple weeks with Stanford, and which can be pre-ordered now. It uses a provocative claim to push against the myths of automation but also develop a messier and more interesting portrait of the 'future of work'. Happy to field any questions.

-----

For some, automation will usher in a labor-free utopia; for others, it signals a disastrous age-to-come. Yet whether seen as dream or nightmare, automation, argues Munn, is ultimately a fable that rests on a set of triple fictions. There is the myth of full autonomy, claiming that machines will take over production and supplant humans. But far from being self-acting, technical solutions are piecemeal; their support and maintenance reveals the immense human labor behind "autonomous" processes. There is the myth of universal automation, with technologies framed as a desituated force sweeping the globe. But this fiction ignores the social, cultural, and geographical forces that shape technologies at a local level. And, there is the myth of automating everyone, the generic figure of "the human" at the heart of automation claims. But labor is socially stratified and so automation's fallout will be highly uneven, falling heavier on some (immigrants, people of color, women) than others. Munn moves from machine minders in China to warehouse pickers in the United States to explore the ways that new technologies do (and don't) reconfigure labor. Combining this rich array of human stories with insights from media and cultural studies, Munn points to a more nuanced, localized, and racialized understanding of the "future of work."
I moved to a different, much more expensive city. Maybe could have asked to be allowed to work remotely, but I couldn't ask to be able to work remotely and get a 25% raise. But was asked to rejoin remotely and then I could of course ask to be paid competitively where I was living.

Google Calendar is useful for me to have reminders and also to organize things with family. The functionality of adding people's emails, automatically send them a request of that event, letting them answer if they are gonna go or not, and adding in their personal calendars that event, is just priceless.

For to-do list, shopping lists, ideas, and other small things, I always use paper and pen. I don't usually carry any of this around except shopping lists (to cross out articles already bought), but if I had to, I'll bought a Moleskine or similar to carry around.

For projects where there are others than me involved, or for projects that have a bigger size, Trello (or any other card-style list manager) is the best to use. It let you order ideas, to-do items, parts, or any other divisible list of things in the way you like.
For example:
- Ideas, To do, To check, Completed
- Alice, Bob, Carol, Dave, DONE
- General, Minimal, Failsafe, UX, Maintenance

I don't disagree that it is an accurate (and somewhat inflammatory) description of how figures on the right discuss cancel culture. What I'm saying is that it is an ineffective means of changing anyone's mind that they must care about changing.

> Our failure to have a serious discussion about defining “cancel culture” encourages this.

Can we please just define it so we can move on as a society? I'm equally tired of this game where snarky writers try to pretend it doesn't exist. The first amendment doesn't protect against secret blacklists or mobs but we can still agree they are "bad things" and could agree on at least some new set of common courtesy.

All sorts of examples come to mind of unfair public shaming spectacles against largely undeserving targets:

>One other thing that's new, in America, is the idea that speech is less important than people's feelings.
Lenny Bruce was convicted of obscenity less than 60 years ago. The civil liberties around speech went through a series of challenges and expansions very recently. The ACLU used to defend nazis. Now they prefer not to, to the chagrin or dismay of more traditional civil libertarians.

Promoting Affordable Housing Near Transit Act Included in 2022 Defense Bill
The case we're talking about is I accuse you of calling me a fatty and get a bunch of people to tell your employer that they'll boycott, costing a bunch of people their income, people who didn't do anything, unless they fire you.

Note that I said "accuse". Maybe you called me a fatty, maybe you didn't.

Note that "get" is too strong. There appear to be people waiting for an excuse to go after "your employer" for pretty much any value of "your employer". I may not even be bothered - someone else may do the "get" even if all I do is mention that you called me fatty/thought that you thought of me as a fatty without any intent that someone do something.
Ask HN: On Happiness Limits
Something I've recently realised is that, when I compare my feelings (rather than thoughts) I derive just as much pleasure from sitting at home playing video games/chess or reading as I do living out "dreams" in the real world.

Its a slightly different type, of course, but joy nonetheless (perhaps excitement vs contentment). In other words, its like there's a natural "limit" on the happiness I can enjoy at any given moment, and going to great lengths to "live the dream" might be pointless, except to look back and enjoy that one did it... a happiness investment perhaps?

Its been hugely freeing as I had been having some thirty-something angst about prior life choices (as you do).

Has anyone else experienced this? Perhaps if a far more common idea that I realise and there's proper terminology for it.
It seems like online scalping in general has skyrocketed since the pandemic started in 2020, the most famous probably being GPU cards.
I feel like this is the correct response. I've seen so many people claiming that "office efficiency" is the most important thing, but the happiness of humans working remotely is such a massive gain. It creates a tradeoff where you're explicitly making employees much more miserable for mild gains in money for employers.
> Popehat seems to be falling into the trap of thinking the precisely defining something will lead to clarity. It rarely, if ever, does.

Certainly it leads to more clarity. Two parties talking "past" each other is one of the most common sources of disagreement in my experience. Of course it isn't a panacea and there will still be disagreement on when the definition is being used correctly, and bad actors, and .... But it is an excellent (and I would argue necessary) starting point for any meaningful discussion.

> Additionally, I think Popehat is dead wrong here:.... I don't know what Popehat actually wants here

The headings of the sections work pretty neatly for me to distill this down (skipping the intro).

1) (Why) Working Towards A Definition Is Important -> dont just handwave

2) Propaganda Drives Perception -> rethink what you think cancel culture is

3) Everybody’s Rights Matter -> The person being cancelled may have been out of bounds and trying to cancel someone else too. Context is important

4) We Need Action Items -> stop these stupid articles that simply clutch pearls and propose something anything that can actually be considered
Maybe these are just some pitiful injured robots, trying to get hold of some spare parts for self repair. :'(

What happens when the trust was not worth it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alves_dos_Reis
I think you're making White's point for him. You're implying that free speech should be at least as important as other people's feelings. He agrees. Which is why appeals for a new norm of shutting up critics is so problematic. This is what he's talking about with his "First Speaker Problem" thing: the "free speech" you're alluding to is virtually always a response to someone else's speech. How do you coherently isolate the speech that must be protected --- the supposed "first speaker" --- from the speech that shouldn't (critics of that first speaker)?

Who gets to decide what the excess is?

I'm not saying they don't exist: if I advocate for gay rights, and turns out my employer has a bunch of homophobic customers who get me fired because they don't want to spend money that ends up in my pocket, that would be deeply wrong in my view.

The question is, what does the "regulatory framework" do there? Force those customers to spend money that ends up funding someone that fights for something they see as morally wrong? Force my boss to employ me even though I hurt their business?

The whole point of freedom of speech is the government doesn't get to ban views they don't like. Not supporting someone because of their views surely needs to be as much of a protected view as any other.

In my case I had a recovery email set for my account and knew the password. I didn’t have any 2fA on but when I would try to log in Google just decided it didn’t recognize me and I needed phone verification - it wouldn’t use my recovery email. I had lost access to the number they were trying to use so I am forever locked out. I’d even get attempted login prevented emails at my recovery email.
