I assume this is unavoidable. The only solution are protocols where the network is owned and stored in the data (cryptographically) rather than in the servers. Then the servers apply censorship and rules over the data, but you can still rebuild any conversation chain as long as you connect to enough servers that don't censor it instead of requiring 1 server to keep all the network relationships.

This also allows authors to seamlessly switch servers without losing audience or at least being able to recreate it very easily.

Besides the surrogate characters there are also some other noncharacters: https://www.unicode.org/faq/private_use.html#noncharacters

Because of modifier characters, control characters like for bidi, stuff like soft-hyphens and ligatures, locale-dependent semantics (upper/lowercase, collation etc.), the general discordance between glyphs and characters, and so on and so forth, Unicode is so complex, and in general always requires careful processing of code point (or code unit) sequences, that honestly the surrogate encoding doesn’t make that much of a difference. It’s just an additional wrinkle in a sea of wrinkles.

So true! Everywhere I turn it's just people trying to extract the maximum amount of money from me for the minimum amount of value in return. It can't be good for our psyche.
It does not. I typically like KSR's works and appreciate the "dry" technical detail he often injects, but not with MotF. The book stands entirely on it's first chapter. That first chapter is definitely worth the read, and on it's own, a phenomenal short story. The rest is a poorly stitched together series of some of the most interesting and significant events being glossed over in favor of some flat uninteresting characters failing to effect any significant change with some fanciful yet flawed story telling (ever chatted with a photon before?) that somehow manages to make a potential near-future climate catastrophe look dull while simultaneously highlighting just how truly bad it can get. In the end it is a rather optimistic take too, so it's not as if it's some Cormac McCarthy-esque gloom that wears you down, nor am I a climate change, denier. It's a topic I'm quite passionate about and was really looking forward to seeing KSR's take. Ultimately, even with the optimistic conclusion, I was disappointed in the book (with the exception of Chapter 1, which again was stellar).

The potential for a phenomenal book is certainly there. But it feels like a first draft in need of an editor reigning him in a bit. I can absolutely recommend that people read the first chapter, and disregard the rest.
I totally understand the reasons people want to dress a certain way and don't care at all if one coworker wants to wear a suit to work and another prefers a hoodie.

The issue is when people want to impose their dress code on others, especially for non-client/customer facing roles.

Putting a large emphasis on the dress code has downsides as well. The more focus people spend worrying about their attire and judging others, the less focus they have for more substantive matters. It's an easy crutch to dismiss someone for dressing "wrong", a crutch which plenty of lazy employees and managers are happy to latch onto.

I think de-emphasizing dress codes encourages a more productive workplace.

That's not really the argument your opponent has.

It's that pervasive data collection, even if it's 'only' outside your house, is quite bad.

Then you need to rethink your framing, because right now you're trying to split it into "store tracks transactions by itself and uses that data itself" and "tries to peep in your bedroom window".

Everyone else is talking about shades of gray too. But they're pointing out that 90% of the store-tracking shades have significant negative consequences.

Not directly, but indirectly, this is one reason why bigger companies can pay more than small companies, more efficiencies, automations, and economies of scale means the output per employee is higher.
There was nothing wrong with the software developed for the MAX. The flaw was in the specification of what the software was supposed to do. The delivered software adhered to the specification.

The source was divided into logical components of more or less perfect size, it was straightforward, well commented, responsive to PRs, worked, and had no security issues as far as I remember.

> If mail administrators bounce back an explanation for every "bad" message:

Nobody is talking (I don't thing anyone is) about sending back a bounce message, that would indeed make no sense.

A responsible email server should:

1) Reject the email during the SMTP conversation if it's going to do that. Then the sender knows it didn't go through because it got the error code. There's nothing to bounce back.

2) If it accepts the mail during SMTP conversation, then always deliver to the recipient.

2a) Some disagree, but I think it's totally fine to deliver it to the recipients spam folder if post-processing determines it might be spam. That's not wonderful, but it still got delivered and the recipient can go find it in the spam folder. Most people are used to looking there regularly anyway since many of the larger providers (coughgooglecough) have such terrible false positive rates. The important thing is to never lose email.

What's never ok is to accept the email during SMTP and then silently file it in /dev/null.
We'll, it's ok if you feel that way given this is entirely subjective, but I disagree based on experience.

I disagree b/c: That's a system. An algorithm is designed, a system will emerge from pieces. An algorithm can be defined, a system's behavior has to be characterized post-hoc. You can characterize a system, but only as a black/gray box. An algorithm has invariants and stateful steps, a system has nearly infinite state and nearly zero meaningful invariants.

We could, as a society, also get rid of bullshit jobs and provide better, meaningful education. Not to mention we could also cut down on waste (fast fashion and similar trends).

Both of that will be inevitable (either due to capitalist forces aka costs or because of actual natural disasters), the key question is if politicians will act early enough to be able to influence and guide society through the transformation or if it will be a chaotic, the-strongest-survive transformation.
I am more interested in public government code being shared with other EU countries. EU funds a lot of government software projects , but they never end up becoming EU-wide projects.

This is one of those old bromides like Postel's law that just doesn't reflect the reality of the situation in the modern world. Today's modern equivalent would be "The net interprets heterodoxy as noise and filters it out."

I like the plethora of information available because it shows many different takes on each tech you might want to pick up. But I do understand that it can be a bit much. I tend to cope with that by starting at the documentation for the tech and look for any 'Getting Started' materials that come directly from the group responsible for the tech. I'll get the basics down there, then branch out to the rest of the online info when I hit roadblocks on the learning curve.

* some folks don't want to waste precious counter space, or hate cleaning the coffee pot, and end up with a kettle and something like a pour over or french press.

* everyone else has a coffee pot.

Provisioned concurrency is nice, but can get pricey, especially in an autoscaling scenario. It moves you from a pay-per-usage situation to hourly fee + usage model. I would wait until your requirements show you absolutely need it. For most use cases, you will either have enough traffic to keep the lambda warm, or can incur the cost of the cold start. Warming functions did the trick for us. If you think about it provisioned concurrency is paying for managed warmers.

0.005 inch is indeed quite small, and a demanding tolerance indeed for carbon fiber composite construction. I trust that Boeing design engineers would have know full well that this tight tolerance would cost a lot of money, and would therefore specify it only if necessary. When the out of spec assemblies were discovered, Boeing could either use testing and analysis to show these gaps are OK or rework the aircraft to get them in spec. They chose the latter.

In short, just because 0.005 inch is a small number does not mean the article is grasping at straws. I routinely design mechanical assemblies where the difference between 0.005 inch and 0.010 inch is the difference between a comfortable factor of safety and guaranteed failure under design loads.
Having been through this as an editor, there is an issue where, for instance, how do you get blurbs for a book? You ask people the author knows, people you know, people your colleagues know, if you can thumb-wrestle an address out of them, etc. There's a chain. On the other end, any moderately-successful author is getting a lot of such requests, so they're going to filter in reverse.

Agreed this isn’t airtight, but if you accept the premise that real numbers are specified by their sequence decimal digits: .499…+.499… has 9 as its first digit after the decimal, 9 as its second and so on - the only other number that has this decimal expansion is .999… infinitely repeating, so these must be the same numbers.

> If you set everything up right,

You don't even need to set everything right. Up until very recently (months), I was sending emails from a few of my servers, and I had NOTHING set right. As in, I was sending from IP addresses that were never mentioned on my DNS, no PTR no SPF no DKIM no nothing. Just good old "here's an email from this address, trust me I actually own that address and it's legit".

And it worked just fine.

Surely just a reputation thing, as I had been doing this for over a decade, and all emails were very important (password recovery, order details, etc), no newsletter or anything.

I recently replaced all that with zoho because I wanted something a bit more secure and didn't want to configure it myself.
> Sounds to me like there are deep corruption problems

I consider this to be a flavor of corruption, too, but it isn't, legally. It is the desired outcome for many, and for many more, maybe not the outcome they wanted, but the logical outcome of what they asked for.

There has been a decades-long process in the US of pressuring governments to do less, to outsource more, to privatize, to move to "public-private partnerships" or whatever new buzzword means socialize losses and privatize profits.

And this is what you get - government that doesn't have the capabilities it needs to do what people ask of it. Which makes it look bad, which encourages another cycle of privatization...

If you want functional government, stop electing people who promise to break it.

That enforcement causes nurses to not want to work, as the nurses aren't the decision makers in making a culture of safety. The administrators bear that responsibility so maybe we should enforce it on them.
