You’re right that it isn’t official “defund the police” policies that were passed. Instead the pressure to defund the police has had a sort of “chilling effect” on departments. There are various studies which have shown things like preventative policing measures dropping off abruptly and dramatically in cities which experienced large BLM protests and crime rates shooting up commensurately. Criminologists are still piecing together the evidence—it’s not yet proven, but the picture that is emerging suggests the BLM movement has been a major driver in the violent crime wave.

> There is quite a lot of fuss about a crime wave right now, but we are at historical lows in a lot of places. In SF shoplifting actually peaked in 2014. In SF the murder rate has risen since the pandemic… to 2017 levels. There were some high profile smash and grabs on the national news, but having your car broken into in San Francisco is something that has been a thing for a LONG time. There’s nothing new about the tenderloin being a shithole. I think that to call the current conditions a “crime wave” is a bit too non specific considering the massive societal upheaval we experienced since 2020. What specific numbers, or measurable trends concern you?

The crime wave has affected the entire country, not just SF. It’s also a violent crime wave—the number of homicides in absolute terms and as a percentage of the population had been declining for many decades and we reversed much of that in a few years time. So we aren’t just talking about a bit of shoplifting (though what’s going on in San Fran is absolutely novel). It also begins around 2014-2015, not merely since 2020. This violence also disproportionately harms communities of color, which should concern people who were vehemently impassioned in 2020 that “black lives matter” considering how many more black lives have been claimed in a single year by this crime surge than have been taken by police in the last 30+ years.
> Like it’s not designed for that at all?

The PR workflow certainly isn't, but we're far from the only company using them (Dropbox comes to mind). It's surprising to see it not fully supported.

> Also you’re not doing trunk? I mean I get it it’s hard but sounds like a no brainer thing to stop doing as soon as possible..

No, unfortunately not. Trust me, you're preaching to the choir :) But unfortunately, long-lived branches is the workflow we're stuck with at the moment (we constantly merge commits forward, but it's a manual process). That said, even if we were using short-lived feature-branches, you wouldn't be able to know from the PR view if a commit was to a feature branch or not, so the criticism still applies.
I just make key-value store tables and write a small interface to simplify access in H2 or SQLite.
Federalist 10 (James Madison) does pretty explicitly state this. It seeks to explain how the proposed US Constitution protects against one of the key problems with representative government -- that of faction (aka, what we would call parties today). The tyranny of the majority is described as follows:

> When a majority is included in a faction, the form of popular government, on the other hand, enables it to sacrifice to its ruling passion or interest both the public good and the rights of other citizens

And the remedy provided by the indirectness of the American system (i.e., election of representatives, senators, and electors instead of direct democracy) is that it will

> refine and enlarge the public views, by passing them through the medium of a chosen body of citizens, whose wisdom may best discern the true interest of their country, and whose patriotism and love of justice will be least likely to sacrifice it to temporary or partial considerations. Under such a regulation, it may well happen that the public voice, pronounced by the representatives of the people, will be more consonant to the public good than if pronounced by the people themselves, convened for the purpose

Generally I recommend reading this whole paper, 18th century prose aside, as it provides a fascinating insight into how the framers thought of some of the key points of the Constitution

Maybe I'm "misremembering", but there was a version of SunStudio in the very late 90s that had "intellisense" style help for C or C++. It was really basic, but it was there.
Sanitizers can only show you some memory problems that happen during a given runtime with given data.

And your 10+ minutes baseless assumption is just demonstratively false. In the default debug mode it is literally instant with human perception on my current, not small project. Longer compiles only happen in release mode or when you introduce new dependencies.

Actually, many city governments in Japan already get a redistribution from the national government in "local tax allocation" to the tune of over 100 billion USD every year, and cities like Tokyo with a large tax base or industry are excluded from this. Then there's "hometown tax" so local municipalities in Tokyo and the surrounding areas are losing local tax revenue.

I suspect a that many are not aware that taxes destined for the local government they live ("residence tax") in gets diverted to other cities, especially because many salaried workers don't do their own taxes, as was mentioned in the article. It's gotten to the point that some cities were running public service announcements saying that "donating through hometown tax leads to loss of local tax revenues" and saying funding for services like city-run daycare can be at risk.

In 2021, Tokyo "lost" about 400 million USD in tax revenue to this program, so it's not a trivial amount.
While the first that comes in mind is the "master copy" terminology of the recording industry, git's "master" terminology in fact comes from BitKeeper. In BitKeeper, there are apparently master and slave branches, where master refers to the source of truth where all the slaves pull their info from.

They aren't a counterpoint at all. They're confirmation. Security-wise legacy operating systems (Linux, NT, ...) suck.

How do you manage permissions with SQLLite?
I haven’t written a single piece of code outside of work since I started working - in 1996.

The only reason I have any open source code is because my company has a very easy open source process. I extract reusable non customer identifying code from projects and it usually takes at most 3 days for approval.

There is also a company sponsored open source project I contribute to.
a. I'm surprised no one has mentioned WAL2 + BEGIN TRANSACTION, both of which are in separate branches with the plan to be merged into main.

Even though SQLite can handle 99% of peoples use cases, WAL2 + BEGIN TRANSACTION will greatly close that last 1% gap.

b. Expensify has created a client/server database based on SQLite called https://bedrockdb.com and years ago it was scaling to 4M+ qps https://blog.expensify.com/2018/01/08/scaling-sqlite-to-4m-q...

As a hiring manager for a tech startup, I find resumes useful as a filter.

There is a class of applicants who produce 3-4 page resumes filled with tedious details, with every technology they ever used bolded, and turgid prose describing internal software projects as if they should be common knowledge. It takes me probably 15 seconds to move on to the next candidate if I see one of those.

The next thing I filter on is choice of employers. If I see health insurer, big insurance, blah fortune 500 firm, government contractor, ... over and over again, then unless there's something in the first half of the first page of the resume that otherwise catches my eye, that resume is also going in the discard pile after 30 seconds.

Finally I'll scan for interesting projects. I generally want to find people who have done more than just CRUD UIs, and show some passion about the technology they've built and worked with. For somebody who makes it past this point, I'll have spent max 60 seconds with their resume. I then customize and send the message in the ATS and invite the applicant to check out the company and job posting.
Sure, it's possible. But in a lot of places marriages are very expensive affaire. Social pressure cannot be ignored.

Happy to see “secretlang” out in the open! I have been following development from afar and really like the idea of a “simple” take on a language, but with a lot of wisdom and affordances added since the state of the world back in 1972. In short, Hare seems to be a language that I really should like and I want to take it for a spin.

What I find a bit confusing though is the licensing. I belong to the “BSD school”, but can at least claim that I understand (and respect) how GNU looks at things. Looking at Hare’s licensing [1], I am somewhat stumped and my usual modes of thinking no longer apply. What is the threat that warrants this level of complexity? A commercial fork? A community fork? Proprietary drivers? Are these really realistic enough threats to warrant this level of license complexity rather than just stamping ISC and CC-BY on the whole thing and not worry about forks at all? Yes, there is some writing in the README, but perhaps I am too thick to “get it”?

Lastly, a sanity check, am I reacting too strongly to this if I feel that it has a bit of chilling effect in terms of my excitement?

Oxford Street is also a terrible place to exist as a pedestrian – it's full of traffic, extremely crowded and just generally not very nice. I worked nearby there for many years and always hated it.

The only reason for braving it was to visit the big stores and when they went there was nothing left. Soho and Carnaby St are basically Disneyland compared to what they used to be, but at least they're fairly traffic free, quite nice to walk around and have good bars and restaurants.

Those perfume places were fascinating to watch. At least two or three of the crowd were plants, but they always had a big collection of tourists. Could never understand why people were so interested, or how the headset guy and his minions could maintain such excitement for knockoff perfume.
Redox is probably a better example than Hubris:

Hubris is intended to run on microcontrollers in a very low-level context (e.g. no display), so is very unlikely become a desktop / user-facing OS.

If you view it as a pure engineering problem, sure, but the problem with managing social media companies hasn't been "we can't figure out how to store and display 280 character messages at high scale" in a long, long time. How to properly moderate social media to control some of its worst tendencies has been a very visible and very difficult issue for pretty much every social media company for the past 10 years.
Twitter is not "irrelevant" in any sense of the word. Also they have no direction from the current leadership as is.

He may have someone in mind who he will appoint CEO.

Fundamentally, his beef with Twitter seems to be around their speech policies and maybe some missing site features. He doesn't need to be even close to full time to resolve those. He just has to find a tech CEO who agrees with his values and who can execute when given a clear mission. There are plenty of those kicking around the Bay Area.

Being married makes a lot of bureaucracy around kids and so on a lot easier. Especially in case one parent dies. The legal aspects of loosing your partner are less important without a house and mortgage on it and without kids.

I agree so that marriage is, also historically, as much about economics as it is about love.
which means the employees aren't monitored closely by upper management then? I don't see why it's "bad".

The only thing i can think of being bad is micromanagement, and inadequate compensation. I dont know how twitter compensates their employees, but i'm sure it's not inadequate.

All of those can be done without being legally married, and many actually are.

In many US families, it's not uncommon to take people you're seriously dating on family vacations, or have them over for holidays, etc.

Some people who choose not to get legally married have a ceremony and/or party.

Some people who get married don't change their name. People who don't get married can change their name if they want to.
That sounds very... presumptuous maybe? You can enjoy all the nice things in human life and also marvel at and study the universe. If anything, exploring the universe is one of the nice things in life. It seems silly, a bit limiting, and a bit hurtful to say you have to choose one or the other.

Moreover, if someone does choose to push forward in only exploring the universe and disregards the other nice things in life, who are we to judge them for doing that. They have found their own way to be happy or fulfilled or interested, whichever is that they value.

> most stable form of digital storage?

Well, if you're asking literally, then probably cuneiform clay tables (fired on purpose, of course). However, a higher density medium with a reasonable lifetime would probably be a 2D barcode engraved on a plate of stainless steel or something like that.

The ultimate of course would be 3D storage in synthetic quartz, but as a DIY solution, that is much more difficult to write (you need a short pulse laser for that), or even to read (for 2D barcode, any camera works).
It's also their responsibility not to lie to the public just to create demand for their products. A doctor would not get away with these bullshit recommendations, why can these advertisers get away with it?

Also maybe as larger society we need to adapt of stopping the infinite population growth. This might not be pretty in all ways, but entirely realistic option with current levels of productivity. There might be sad and cynical cultural changes on treating old and long term infirm.
He is almost certainly responsible for Tesla not having filed for chapter 11 yet, but they have gotten close a few times. Every time they get close, he does something in the media that raises the stock price by 200% so they can quietly sell shares to cover the shortfall.

I personally wouldn't give him credit for the great engineering done at tesla. It seems like he is good at hiring decent people, and when he gets out of their way, great things happen. When he gets involved (like with the absurd touchscreen console, no-LIDAR self-driving, and the "lights-off" factory idea) it goes wrong. Musk is an amazing marketer and he deserves credit for that, but not for engineering work.
This serious be a "preimage attack" not a "collision attack".

your one anecdotal situation is in no way indicative of amazon's business. They are much bigger today than it was before!
This makes so much sense. As I look back on the last 20 years of my career the things that set one place above another is the team and relationships.

I spend most of my time at a new job trying to recruit my former colleagues over. Team is everything. Once you have a group of people who work well together, the problem doesn't matter.

I saw someone saying they'd fight over tabs/spaces - nope. That's what two strangers do. A team has already settled on spaces.

If there are any employers reading my comment, hit me up if you want a solid team.

Twitter Eyes Deal with Musk as Soon as Monday
The C language and portable C programs do not in any way require a Von Neumann architecture. In fact with the modern trend for phone/tablet/desktop/server OSes to use W^X memory permissions they effectively mandate programs written in Harvard-compatible style even if they technically have code and data in the same address space.

Once instruction sets got features such as index (or base) registers and register indirect addressing (including stack addressing) instead of absolute addressing (including for indirect jumps/subroutine calls) there was no longer any need to support self-modifying code during execution of the program itself, and Von Neumann architecture is not required except for initial loading of the program code into memory by the OS.

I'd think most modern instruction sets are easily capable of running with code and data in truly different address spaces.

The only real difficulty is in loading constant data and especially constant tables from program space. Microcontroller ISAs such as AVR have special instructions for program space loads. Any ISA where the PC is a GPR (PDP-11, VAX, arm32) or that has an explicit PC-relative addressing mode (preferably indexed) such as 68000 make it easy to detect that a memory reference is PC-relative and do it in the program space instead of the data space.

Arm64 with ADR and ADRP and RISC-V with AUIPC make it tricky because hardware would have to track that a GPR contains a pointer derived from the PC. x86 and PowerPC make it even more difficult, because the only way to get the PC value is to do a fake function call to the next instruction (or to keep return stack prediction happy, to a real function that just saves the return address then returns). On these ISAs you're probably better off assembling all constants using load immediate and shifts, and arrays or tables of constants using computed jumps to load immediate instructions.

In short, using a conventional modern ISA with Harvard architecture is doable if you want to.
Requiring less of end users will always be easier than requiring more.
