You're just demonstrating PG's point exactly: that the x-ism depends on who says it even though it has no relation to truth.

You didn't even try to argue once that the statement is less true when a white graduate says it. The most you can say is one "might be considered" x-ist and affects a vague "value judgement". What does "might be considered subtly racist" have to do with truth?

You're technically correct, the first statement might be considered subtly racist because as PG argues: that's the heretical world we live in. I'd find it hard to argue that PG is socially crippled when he is precisely spelling out this social dynamic that leads to heresy.

The only difference is you seem content that society works this way.

To strong-man "Cancel culture" - trying to remove people from decision-making roles after they have signaled they intend to make harmful decisions is not - on the face of it - a ridiculous idea.

> expresses opposition to the idea that websites should be required to be accessible

If someone openly holding this view applies for a job in charge of your website, are you going to seriously consider their application?

The point of cancel culture isn't to convince the person being cancelled, or to coerce those who agree with them by threat of losing their job. The point is to remove perceived political opponents from positions of influence.
How to best get in touch with you privately? There is a lot of interesting research we had to do with regard to implementing byzantine consensus and securing large amounts of value using this same kind of underlying framework. We use Kademlia DHT for swarming and then rely on some mathematical papers from 2007-2015 to estimate the probability of taking over a section of the network and preventing further progress. You’ll need to periodically shuffle consensus groups and a few other things, in order to recover from sabotage. I had to speak to Leslie Lamport, the people at SAFE network, Ripple etc. about aspects of the system.

As it is right now, are you planning to have byzantine consensus for these contracts? Or just try to do verifiable computation?

Could you share a type of math with 1 or 2 concepts that would be good for computer science or solving problems in general. Reference to something not too difficult, but a "good to know" kind of thing. For example, something from upper division math.

Let's say in undergraduate I would say:
Calculus I - understand what is derivative.
Calculus II - understand what is an integral.

Math is broad, so maybe 1 or 2 takeaways from some topics in upper division math that I might find useful.

I mean, Amtrak is pretty cool along the coasts. I'd much rather take it than almost anything else for getting between cities on the coasts. It's not great, but outside of just making the trains better/cheaper/run more often, it's not that much worse than a lot of the EU trains I've taken. You get on quickly and easily, and you get off at the destination with minimal disruption, in about the same time it would have taken to drive, but you don't have to do anything.

The TSA works for Biden, this is an action of an executive branch office, and an action that requires a significant amount of budget. If Biden didn't want this to happen it would stop at a stroke of his pen. If this is a move to kill passenger rail, then it's Biden that is killing it.

When I lived near Dulles airport I frequently used the train to travel up the north east as far as NY or Boston-- even though the train was often more expensive. The fact that I didn't have to deal with the TSA and their intrusive searches was a significant part of that. From the article it sounds like they're only currently planning to quietly invade your privacy in the background, which might not the rail killing effect you are concerned with. But if they did go full airport-tsa style handling of the trains then I wouldn't be shocked if it killed passenger rail: Not dealing with the TSA may not be a reason for most passengers, but it only has to be a reason for enough to bring it under a threshold of viability.

I recently wasted time figuring out why my code was getting executed twice and found this out the hard way. I think this is a particularly good example of overreach by Javascript developers and at the very least a console.warn could have notified me of this.

By making it free though you’ve disincentivized fixing it. It’s awfully coincidental that the current leading solution to DDoS for people running websites is “use cloudflare”.

Cloudflare has absolutely no reason to invest in solving DDoS because the existence of them is one of your best sales leads. DDoSes are cancer and you run a cancer treatment center. Gotta make sure you can treat cancer well but you wouldn’t want people to avoid it in the first place.

You're looking for Vue. It calls itself The Progressive Framework and the title fits.

The thing about Vue is that it spans the whole spectrum of a simple <script> tag à la jQuery all the way up to a fullstack app with server side rendering, jsx & typescript support, IDE plugin, browser debugger, and build system.

But the *great* thing about Vue is that you can start off with the simple <script> tag and add it to an existing project (built with other frameworks) and slowly build up to more Vue features if/as you need them.

It's learning curve is also incredibly smooth so you can ramp up the features to your specific needs.

Some examples:

- There's multiple well respected guides and video series out there to port old legacy enterprise Angular.js applications to Vue.js bit-by-bit until only Vue.js remains

- Laravel (the well known backend php system) has decided to use Vue for it's front-end integrations.

- Wikimedia (the foundation that runs Wikipedia) has decided to adopt Vue.

I've been a huge fan of my Eero Pro 6s - we've got two in our home.

My single annoyance with them has been that the router will, without warning or the ability to wave it off, occasionally install updates at ~ 2-3 AM PST. Which is probably fine for most people, but is often in the middle of my workday. There's no apparent ability to override or change this.

The rail infrastructure is owned, managed, and maintained by ProRail: a private company but its sole shareholder is the Government. Everyone running trains pays them a usage fee.

The vast majority of passenger trains and all railway stations are owned and operated by NS: again a private company with the Government as sole shareholder.

Various other private companies are running local services, and all freight traffic is done by private companies too.
I had a eero 5 before upgrading to the 6 -- found the traffic shaping pretty useless on both to be honest. "CAKE" or not, didn't do much for me on two connection types that absolutely need shaping -- local cable and local DSL.

Had a OpenWRT box as well, and shaping with CAKE was night and day better. Trick is I can't remotely manage OpenWRT for family. Eero is so much better for that. (so stable I don't have to manage it, it just works)

I agree they need for knobs, but that doesn't seem likely.
You make that sound like a negative.

I run my own email server and have implemented greylisting [1]. Greylisting easily drops my incoming email by 50%, but that 50% was being sent by non-compliant SMTP "servers" (probably, a program running on an exploited box somewhere to spam email). Legitimate email servers will always queue email and try again when they encounter a transitory error.

>I have 0 doubts that Russians have working nukes of various loads and range. I am very positive that number of usable ones is somewhere in 1-5% range and its often not immediately clear which are which.

I've been thinking about this possibility for a while:

* Putin fires tactical atomic weapon at some empty plot of Ukrainian land, and announces it as a "demonstration" of Russian might.

* The weapon is a dud.

I'm not sure whether this outcome might not be worse in the long run, in terms of geopolitical stability, than if the weapon performs as expected!
Could it not also be said that a group used their free speech to convince a private company to end it's employment with an at will employee?

Most bosses deny promotions using performance ladder as excuse and tell you that one needs to be already performing at that level for you to get promoted.

Well unfortunately most government/politicians don't have the knowledge to pass laws on their own, especially in technical industries.

Lobbyists are obviously incentivized to have favourable outcomes. But how else do you pass a law without hearing from industry?

If you were regulating marijuana but never used marijuana, how much THC are you allowing to be put in edibles? How is the the THC measured? How do we define the quality of THC, if possible? How do we require the declaration of THC content to be presented on packaging? Industry guidance (influence) is necessary, lawmakers can't do this on their own.

This makes so little sense.

Not only because (as several folks suggested) that "hijacking" a train is absurd on its face (although this[0] -- and not the garbage remake comes to mind), but especially because all someone has to do is drive a car (or even "better", a fully loaded 18-wheeler) onto the train tracks on the far side of a curve and blammo.

Or, more dramatically, a bomb on a railroad trestle (or just on a track) moments before a train is to arrive (there are, you know, schedules and stuff) would have a similar effect.

The whole idea is absurd security theater that needs to be killed with fire.

So unless all car purchasers/renters are also screened for "terrorist" impulses, you can't stop folks from wrecking trains.

To disable heresy you'd need to disable personal or moral offense. But it's as unrealistic to think that could ever happen as it is to blame "the left" for reacting to the deliberate incitement and cultivation of prejudice that's so popular right now. People die because of "x-ism" and pretending "the left" are to blame is ludicrous in the worst possible way.

I hate the status quo of the html template engine. They are not portable at all. No winner, not even most popular, that means no consensus. We should be able to unlock platform locked-in and be able to move/reuse templates around Shopify, Wordpress, Webflow, whatever platform/framework that can fill dynamic data into html template. Javascript based templates are the worst for portability.

ELisp seems like going to the right direction but I'd like to hear more about logic-ful or logic-less, what should only be allowed in template, how context-free it is, etc.

ps; as someone who hate parsing stuff with passion. give me a format that's good enough for hand authoring programmable format. S-expression is close .. but not yet a great solution.
But you can not send information. Which is information that you didn’t send. Thus, you sent information.

The EU just told Zelensky not to touch the pipelines, otherwise Ukraine would loose support of many European countries.

Since the start of Putin's criminal invasion of Ukraine, the EU has paid 35 billion euros to Russia and send about 1 billion € of weapons.

The UK sent plenty of weapons, certainly because the Tories had to prove that they have not been corrupted by Russian oligarchs' money - which they were. London has been nicknamed "the Laundry" by Russian oligarchs.

The US has sent plenty as well.

Stopping the imports of oil and gas would be a huge blow for the Russian economy. The EU is working on it, but the dependency is very high.

So the EU ought to act more decently towards Ukraine and provide all the weapons and training they need. I consider that volunteers among professional soldiers should be allowed to take a sabbatical and go - by their owns means and without weapons - to Ukraine. In the end, they will retrieve the weapons they are used to.

We need to do more for Ukraine. The dependency on the Russian has and oil makes that need even more pressing.

Tens of thousand professional soldiers from the EU would make a difference.

Note: The volunteers going on their own, it implies that they won't be paid. So private citizens would have to compensate them: they have families to sustain. I'm pretty sure that money wouldn't be a problem. But it has to remain a private decision, nothing involving the states.

By the way, OTAN is a defensive alliance. It doesn't forbid a member to decide to send troops on the Ukrainian front. The US won't and shouldn't. That's an European war. Having the US support (weapons, logistics, intelligence) is already a huge help.

As a French citizen, I feel that our duty as a democracy is to officially sends troops to Ukraine. Putin needs to be stopped.

I don't believe in a second of a nuclear escalation, escape on one matter: Crimea. It's an Ukrainian territory but Russians may go bersek if we retake it. But let's kick Putin out of Dombass and Transnistria.

But, if reelected, Macron is far too concerned by French large investments in Russia ; and its far-right opponent, Le Pen, share many views with Putin (and has yet to reimburse 12 millions of euros lent by a Russian bank for her 2017 campaign).

A long time ago I thought that this kind of compression could be interesting for voice chat/phone calls. Locally convert speech to text, send raw text over the wire, and convert text back to speech.

You could fine tune some existing text to speech model to sound like you. Once you transfer that to your friends/frequent contacts you could have voice conversations over very low bandwidth channels.

There are obviously plenty of caveats to this, like communicating sounds that aren’t speech. It could be a useful fallback e.g. if your network quality is seriously degraded then your client switches to TTS mode.
