I guess it depends on the puzzle game.

I enjoy programming (when I'm programming something I'm interested in, anyway), but don't like almost any puzzle games.

There are a handful of exceptions: I loved Factorio (which could be considered a puzzle game), Gorogoa, Inside, and The Swapper.

But Zachtronics games and most other puzzle games leave me cold.
I guess the Supreme Court shouldn’t have ruled on segregation then.

Also most anti-abortion people I talk to have more developed views than just faith based. There is actually no scientific argument for abortion
The problem is where does one determine the point of tyranny?
You will find that even the most apparently benign governments can turn given the political will of elected tyrants.

I’d say a government that outlaws abortion is a tyrannical overlord with no legitimacy. And yet here we are.
I always find it a bit funny that HN/tech crowd is generally considered liberal, when I as a Norwegian feel opinions here are sooo conservative. Guess it depends on frame of reference. Democrats would probably be far to the right in Norway?
Who pays the bills?

(UK: we have similar issues about 'left behind' towns who are heavily subsidised by large cities)
I'm undecided on abortion when it's not early (X weeks) and/or for medical reasons.
As for the rights: Do we have the right to not carry another humanbeing even if it meant their "death"?
I mean it is running a daw so...

I think there are two valid reason to call some grooveboxes daw-in-boxes:

- if it has a song mode allowing one to do a complete composition without having to record his live performance

- if it allows the installation of audio plugins

For example the akai mpc series are basically computers running linux and the mpc software DAW preconfigured to make use of the physical knobs and pads. Same for the NI Maschine+. To me they are Daws in boxes.

However an elektron machine will be more a groovebox.
Excellent post and well reasoned. I agree that the root of the issue here is one that will never have a definite answer.

Germany has roughly the same laws as Denmark, and now after this decision many states will continue to have the same abortion laws they have had for the last 50 years, many will have on par with Europe, and some will outright ban.

There is no making everyone happy, but 50 options that are easier to change seem like a compromise to a binary split that will always be under attack.
> The sad part of democracy is that it aims to represent the views of the voting majority.

No, not this "democracy." The supermajority of supreme court justices were mostly seated by presidents who lost the popular vote. This ruling is incredibly unpopular among citizens of the US, but the court is also pro-gerrymandering, so the unpopularity is unlikely to have any real impact on elections. The country is rapidly hurtling towards religious authoritarianism, and the checks and balances to prevent that have largely been dismantled.
> States rights has always been a double edged sword. You can't have your cake and eat it too. The same state rights that allow gun control and homosexuality to be locally legalized before national concensus; also now lead to abortion legislation being a state issue.

Except when the same court in the same week strikes down a state law that makes it marginally more effort to carry a concealed weapon in public.
Are they having sex at the border of Texas? They should probably be arrested for that. Your assertion is obviously ridiculous, traveling gay men will not be arrested simply for being gay. It’s the young gay men trapped in the state we should be concerned about. It’s really not just as easy as moving to whatever you state has the laws you like as most of us are trapped by the locality where our support networks are.
What if the computer program is running on a robot that interacts with the real world?
You're implying the unborn human is not in fact a human and thus has no rights to consider. Or at least that the only rights to consider are those of the mother. Which may be true, but the whole point of my question is to see a proper argument in support of that.
You are only in trouble if you didn't keep a copy of your private keys backed up.

Unfortunately many of these apps treat the private keys like the app owns it which is where people run into trouble. Some will even back up to the app provider's cloud service which is just asking for it to be stolen.
I just wrote 60k lines of C code and have never once felt the need for OOP. And I say that as someone who has spent their whole career with OOP.

If I need some functionality, I write a function and pass it a struct. I’ve yet to find a time when this approach is too limiting, or chaotic.

Even for interfaces, function pointers achieve that goal entirely.

I do miss type safe vectors, e.g templating. Thats above and beyond the most common thing I miss.
'now begin'

If it happens, and it's because of this decision, I don't think it'll be felt for a while. Certainly I don't expect any backlash this election cycle, and probably no real consequences from this in 2024. I suspect that, to the extent negative effects are felt from this, there will be years of blaming those effects on 'liberal policies' and demonizing democrats some more. I'm pessimistic, but think we'll have a generation before there's any real backlash against the Republican Party over this issue (and by then, the party largely won't look the same as it does today anyway).

A fetus clearly is a collection of human cells. It is an example of living Homo sapiens.

The question abortion ethicists ask is whether a fetus or embryo is a person.

If, in fact, all embryos are persons, then the logical ethical reasoning would be that taking steps to minimize miscarriages should be one of our highest priorities. This doesn’t appear to match most people’s moral intuitions, however.

It is not obvious that a newborn baby is a person, either. But defining a being as receiving the rights of a person at birth is a schelling point that many people are more comfortable with than spots earlier or later in development.
Didn’t we have high taxes from 1950 to 1970 and massive government science military and education programs to do moon shots, stop the commie dominoes, and improve STEM education after Sputnik? And we had labor unions so your average job was enough to buy a home and send your kids to school if they wanted and maybe save enough for a boat when you started getting your pension?

I mean there was segregation, anti black and LGTBQIA violence and lots of rape of women and children, but economically, it had taxes. And larger non-entitlement government spending.
The analogy is flawed as the codebase is to laws. And the supreme court didn't change any law. Instead this would be like the new guy coming in and stating, "Wow that codebase actually mutates objects and the commentary of it being non-modifying to its parameters isn't valid."
I agree, but unfortunately some regulatory bodies like the EBA have specifically labeled it "not a factor for 2FA purposes"...

Congress is limited to what it can legislate with the remainder defaulting back into the jurisdiction of the states as part of the Federalism system of checks and balances.

Coinbase is a representative of crypto as much as China is a representative of the USD.

It exists only to exchange crypto for fiat. That means it _must_ be subject to regulation. Only yourself to blame if you thought otherwise.

Inb4 anonymity in crypto: says who? Monero is an actually private chain, and as a result you can't trust the claims it makes. "Just believe us" nah, I won't.

Bitcoin, on the other hand, is a publicly auditable chain. It's not anonymous or private. You can tie identity to a wallet if you know how (nation states for example, or just knowing your friend's address).

It's really not that hard to wrap your head around, but if all you do is meme trade well then someone thanks you for their Lamborghini.
Are you mainly concerned about the quality of the data that is collected, or the econometric methods that are applied to them, or the way in which respondents are sampled?

I think that the direction that is promising is combining data sets like those that are built up at Amazon with administrative data that come from other sources. It is a combination of such data sets that opens up answers to important research questions. But I am doubtful that Amazon wants to fund the pursuit of such questions. That is not what will increase shareholder value.
Well, lately, men can get pregnant. I haven't really thought this through, but I think that if you take the liberal position and regard trans men as men, then you can't claim equal protection as an argument against abortion restrictions.
Curious if you have any evidence for that claim. Looking at https://www.card.iastate.edu/ag_policy_review/article/?a=107 (Figure 1) suggests that rural vs urban unemployment rates have historically been quite similar; if anything, unemployment rates in rural areas were slightly higher than in urban areas. That changed during COVID but that appears to be a historical anomaly.
The amendment is at best quasi-democratic, since amendments that would have broad public support are almost prohibitively difficult to carry out, and requires the cooperation of states that are themselves quasi-democratic.
I totally agree with this view and the "problem" is people want their way _NOW_. They don't have the patience nor want to understand that the other side has the political majority at this time. And when the majority becomes a minority opinion, they also cannot handle that change very well.

Today's bare-knuckle politics sure does not help moderate the peaks.
There are non religious, anti abortion arguments. I've read some version of these before. They have shifted public opinion I believe more than religious arguments. I've read some version of these before, but there are probably others I'm skipping.

To summarize:

- We need those babies to offset huge demographic changes in the US population.
Not enough babies are being born to offset the aging population.

- Women having abortions earlier in life, and having babies later, is negatively affecting the health of the next generation. Autism, Downs and other diseases are all linked to the age of the mother.

- Abortion advocates do themselves no favours by advocating for abortion almost up to the moment of brith. Its about public opinion, and the opinion on when a baby becomes viable has shift due to science. Babies can survive outside the womb much earlier.

-Abortion takes out about 600,000+ babies per year in the US. About 40% of all US abortions are from African American communities. Whether you think this is good or bad, depends if you view abortion to be a good or bad thing. A lot of racists eugenists are hating this decision. So they're not happy with this either. So abortion can be viewed as racist policy because its end effect is killing so many black babies.
I wonder how this compares to a two-wheel plotter; I saw one of those demoed and it made surprisingly crisp drawings for how simple it was.

If you're not familiar, take an inclined drawing table, have a wheel at each top corner with cable (or string) running to the pen, making a triangle. Using a servo to retract or release the cable will change the length of that side, moving the point of the triangle. The one I saw had a simple spring-loaded solenoid for lifting the pen.

Biggest downside is speed is limited by how fast gravity can keep a releasing cable taut.
> If you can’t steelman any topic, you don’t understand the topic.

This fundamentally misunderstands the actual Republican position, and it does so in the way that they are intending to trick you into doing.

If they cared about lives, they would protect schoolchildren. If they cared about lives, they would protect the poor. If they cared about lives, they'd care about death from car accidents, from Covid, from lack of medical care. They don't.

So it's not about caring about lives, trivially.
Agreed, the legislative branch should push through a right to abortion matching the European standard (12-14wks). If our politicians were less cynical and self-serving, this would have already happened in redundancy to Roe.
Steelmanning is probably more helpful than ever on such a provocative topic
"simplest" in the sense of the simplest bill of materials, but definitley not a simple path towards plotting an image. Anyone who's tried to build one of these and actually have it plot reasonably well will know that it's super fiddly to get working.

I'd save my time and just buy a proper axidraw, if you actually want to plot anything.

I've used a google voice number as my primary number for quite a while, and it's actually pretty rare to have issues with it. I'd say that much less than 1/10 of services require me to use my cell's actual number.
Income and voting patterns are much less correlated than other factors. Income differences do not explain the rural-urban divide. The highest income counties in the US are... not red.
We don't when the human is born. If you don't feed a newborn and it dies, it's criminal neglect.

What is the root difference?
> You will now see

Many states, mine included, have "trigger laws" that go into effect if Roe v Wade is overturned. Abortion is now illegal in KY.
> Equal protection under the law would be my first pick for constitutional protection of abortion. There are very few life threatening things that the law compels men to do. Yet the law can compel a women to carry a fetus to term against her will?

I don't think it's the court's job to equal the playing field on biology.

But since you put it like that, wouldn't that mean the father also has the right to decide for or against the abortion of his child?
but when one chooses abortion, presumably one never "agreed".

I suppose that depends on your definition of agrees. If you know that sex creates babies you are agreeing to the baby as much as you are agreeing to an explosion when you light a firecracker.
That is something I have been slowly starting to realize. I lack ambition and without ambition I have nothing to work towards, which in turn makes finding a balance difficult.

I've been trying to do some soul searching to find out what I truly want, but I've chalked it up to, "I'll know it when I see it." And till then, I must keep searching.

> Presumably those people will be proposing a federal ban soon, right?

Sure, that'd be a logical next step. The people who argue for states' rights are often doing so as a ruse to eventually exercise federal control.

That said, I think it will end up like marijuana: illegal federally with a bunch of states who just don't give a fuck. In the end, it may only weaken the power the federal government holds, which at this point is a good thing because power has been concentrating more and more the past 100 years.

I feel I have to reiterate though: this is still a disastrous outcome for a lot of people. I'm not happy about it. The conservative morons who "want the government out of their lives" but also continuously try to legislate people's bodies and sexuality have scored a real win, and I'm scared and upset for all the women in red states who have to live under their reign of hypocritical terror.
That data is different enough from other poll data that I've seen that I have to call biased sampling.

> Democrats have had multiple chances to codify it and didn't even try

This is a big flaw in your thinking. The republicans typically vote as a cohesive group of lemmings. Their leadership signals how they should vote and they follow. The democrats act more an independent collective of votes that happen to align on many issues, but not all.
There's a very big difference between applying for a role at an egotistical organisation like Google, and one at a more typical software house or large enterprise.

The majority of roles, in my experience, have a quick (one hour or so) task to do beforehand, like prepare a presentation on infrastructure, or solve a code problem at home and then a one to one and a half hour interview with the hiring manager, HR, and someone else. In these situations there isn't a whole lot to prepare for in my opinion. Know the shit you're applying for, know the basics about the company (and try to guage their culture from Glassdoor etc, or when you step through the door), and go from there.

If someone was making me spend days travelling to/from multiple interviews, do hours long homework, or trying to catch me out with code I'd walk away. It speaks volumes about their respect for you.
It’s neither a semantic formality nor incorrect.

The Supreme Court returned the question to the legislative branch. That’s it.

I happen to think abortion should be legal.

I also think it’s pretty clear that, when one side believes abortion to be a totally unrestricted right despite never appearing in the constitution, while simultaneously arguing for severely restricting and even eliminating a specifically enumerated right to bear arms, that they’re operating in complete bad faith, and don’t really care about the constitution except when convenient.

Change needs to be secured by convincing others of its necessity, not by appealing to authority to force others to behave or believe what you think they should.

The courts have been abused as an end-run around democratic change for too long now. I’m glad to see a serious bit of legislation from the bench rolled back.

This will force people to talk to each other. To convince each other. To work together. That’s ultimately a healthier outcome, even if things are a little worse while we figure things out.
We can call the cops "Child-shredder protectors" as well, as the only shooting they prevented that day was one of the officers going in after his wife, who was killed. They didn't even try to open the door to the classroom, just stood around and made damn sure that nobody else did anything.

You want to disarm yourself in light of that news?

What I mean mostly are out-of-order-execution (reorder these instructions and return results as if they were executed in order - it is worthwhile because useful work can be done “in the background” while the CPU waits for memory. But this transformation is not too imperative in my opinion) and SIMD instructions (and in extension GPUs) are much more about transformations on data than a traditional Turing-machine - but there are no sharp boundaries anywhere here. It is just not smart to dismiss such a big and important part of CS, when it has plenty of applications.
Why is it a surprise that the Catholic Church is against abortion? This list of religions that are ok with abolition is short. It would be quite a big thing for a catholic to turn a blind eye to and not consider when voting.

The problem with all those examples is that they are specializations, but that's not really how inheritance works in OOP languages and more resembles refinement types. A square is a rectangle with the condition, that both sides have the same length.

Inheritance in OOP languages is used to either for interfaces, or for tacking on data and maybe functionality because you are too lazy to implement out composition instead.
