The library point is especially instructive IMO.

Copilot introducing "learned" security issues, for example, is a problem separate from the copyright risk.

Currently, it's often a matter of updating a dependency to patch things away. How do you do that when you barely understand the code it helpfully generated for you?

People will jump to say "well that's using it wrong" but the reality is if you allow this in your org people will use it this way.
That has not been my experience at all. Of the many relationships I've had in my life (romantic, platonic, family, etc), I can count on one hand the number that became deep and meaningful.

Yes, deep relationships take time to develop. But there needs to be a lot more than simply time spent together; you need to be compatible as well.

But when you DO develop these deep and meaningful relationships, it's the best thing in the world, and something to treasure!

I was a LOT more strategic in my relationships leading up to my second marriage, and it paid off in spades.
It depends on what "fix" means. It could get people more informed, involved, etc.

Banning political speech is a great step toward convincing employees to unionize, so I applaud Meta for this, though.

For one, where are the mining hardware that are unused?

The hash rate is actually going up during this bear market.

They should drop once they can't mine profitably for a while but so far not the case.

You cannot possibly own half of that hash rate to yourself unless you're some state level actor wasting tax on it thinking wasting billions (even then, you can't just order million ASIC units overnight) today to kill Bitcoin is better than some future they see with Bitcoin but then again, people can fork Bitcoin to form another base cryptocurrency, and their effort could become a complete waste.

The only few ways Bitcoin can kill itself is that either people fail to see its usefulness or that some severe unfixable security flaw is found.
Most of the parts aren't made of titanium. Russian companies have the equipment and skills to manufacture functionality equivalent replacement parts. But they lack the specifications and reverse engineering isn't easy.
It's worth pointing out that states like Texas passed a law that allows Texas residents to sue anyone that aids a Texas resident with receiving an abortion.[0]

So if I live in California and my friend from Texas comes out to stay with me while they undergo the procedure, I could be sued under Texas law even though I'm not a Texas resident. It's not as simple as just picking which state you want to live in. Also, picking a new state to live in isn't an option for millions of people.

Yuri's criticism was not that Julia has correctness bugs as a language, but that certain libraries when composed with common operations had bugs (many of which are now addressed).

I will recommend following the discussion on the Julia discourse here that is focussed on productively and constructively addressing the issues (while also discussing them in the right context):
https://discourse.julialang.org/t/discussion-on-why-i-no-lon...

Just like any other open source project, Julia has packages that get well adopted, well maintained, and packages that get abandoned, picked up later, alternatives sprout and so on. The widely used packages usually do not have this problem. Overall the trend is that the user base and contributor base are growing.
Unless cast is an ability unlocked by the wand, then you'd only have "use main/offhand" on the person, and the cast would be on the wand.

It's really not as cut and dry as you said.
The Supreme Court decision will affect people's work lives at Meta, and that is something that needs to be discussed. There are apparently states now where women lose rights just by visiting a doctor, where they can be criminally prosecuted for an abortion outside of the state if there is evidence that they had been pregnant at any point. Should Meta employees be required to continue living and working in those states?
I haven’t programmed in Python a lot for years. Though I still somewhat follow the new features and versions and wow it surprises me how often modern Python misses an elegant solution that could simplify the ecosystem in favor of bespoke new syntax and new ways to do more incompatible OO.

Interestingly I’ve actually been using _more_ duck-typing style programming in Nim as it’s become my daily driver.

It’s kinda funny since Nim is a statically typed language you think it’d be hard yet its so seamless to use compile time checks that it’s easy to think of it as runtime duck-typing. You can add overloaded types to a function like `proc foo(arg1: int | string, arg2: float)` and then use the `with` expression to change behavior in parts of the function handling the specifics for the types. It’s really power way to handle polymorphism and things like visitor patterns without a bunch of OO infrastructure. I take it the Python type annotations aren’t embracing that overloaded type setup?

You can even trivially use duck typing with type declarations https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#generics-is-operator There’s another pattern I’ve taken to of just declaring getter/setters for things like “X” and “Y”, except just from a generic array. I mean “X” is just a convention for arr[0] right? https://github.com/treeform/vmath/blob/5d7c5e411598cd5cf9071...

Really I hope “duck typing” becomes more the norm rather than the OO stuff. I’m curious what the story in Swift on this topic is nowadays.
Are you drawing a distinction between creating the model, which depends on viewing open source code and is presumably fine, and using it selling the model which may output licensed code and get you in trouble?

Do you really think people stung out on heroin do so "with purpose to cause public inconvenience"?

That said, chances are most jurisdictions have some variation of "dunk in public" that isn't as particular about the intoxicant. Even so, the criminal justice system hasn't proven itself to be an especially good solution to substance abusers.
I attended a rally and march on Roe v Wade last night, and it was alarming to hear just how many other issues rally leaders tossed into the ring, to a large cheering crowd. Some of these were things have a legitimate intersection with reproductive rights -- minority access to equal healthcare, or the various kinds of service ghettos that spring up minority neighborhoods, or other issues SCOTUS has indicated it wants to weigh in on -- but several had nothing to do with reproductive rights: ACAB, or reparations, for example.

And then, to make it even worse, they went on to tell the crowd that you HAVE to care about these issues if you care about Roe v Wade. And if you don't, then "get the hell out of our way". So either you agree 100% with the hivemind and their dated BLM script, or fuck you. To say nothing of the fact that the person shouting this stuff seemed to cherish just how many different labels she could attach to herself to appear more credible.

I consider myself a staunch independent and this was downright insulting. The operatives instigating all of this do not want people making rational points with their minds, they want a mental hegemony to act as a bedrock for their political war machine.

Given that and how political discussions seem to be playing out everywhere, I don't think anyone should be supporting these kinds of discussions at work. Should companies willingly allow space for crowdsourced political brainwashing?

Sounds unreasonable at first, and maybe you're being sarcastic, but I've actually found that trying that as a discipline helps with readability, because each const variable gets a very descriptive name related to the action.
I like Julia a lot
I think it needs two things (for me)

1. better database support, also need to support BI Cubes likes MS SSAS

2. fix scoping rules

I created a small feature request on github, where I suggest a fix for their scoping (inspired a lot by perl), and I would like to take this opportunity to promote my suggestion, I think its a good one, that will make Julia nicer

Yes, asap. This person is going through some stuff that a therapist can help with. Its not something to just accept and move on. Although that's kind of the vibe I am getting from some of the comments here.
Reading the discussion here, I can't help but thinking that people are defending their own philosophies: OOP vs FP vs DOP vs etc. I wish the author had killer applications or killer examples in different categories, like can I code an operating system easier, can I code a database easier, can I create a complex streaming job easier, can I write a library as complex as Apache BEAM easier, can I write a compiler easier, can I create a web framework easier, can I write a JSON parser easier, you get the idea. Or maybe examples that contrast existing solutions: how do I use DOP to write a better RxJava? how do I use DOP to write a better SqlLite? How do I use DOP to write a better graph library? How do I use DOP to write a better tensor library? how to do use DOP to write a better Time/Date library? You know, something that's so compelling and so obvious.
What you’re identifying falls under viability as mentioned above, as well as basic independent self-regulation.

They’re not the same life, because they’re two different things: one is a premature newborn that we know can survive outside of a continuing pregnancy, and the other is a fetus that might survive. Unless you propose that we make all pregnant people deliver the moment their doctor believes that the fetus is viable (that seems like a bad state of affairs?), the two will remain different.
I have a strong opinion on this, but I don't want to talk about it at work. When I sign the contract I don't remember any part of it being, "fix the world with your debating skill", or "being accused of complicit if you don't engage in discussion of some social issue of the week".
I agree, but I also think if they author either knew what they were talking about or wasn't just trying to sell more books they'd make that clear. Rather than just trying make the case for these patterns in languages that don't suit them.

> It may seem cruel, but it feels almost worse than if she'd died.

I don't think it's cruel at all. For the person suffering dementia, they are no longer that person, and they must be confused all the time, and stressed out about being confused. It sounds like a miserable way to live, if you can call that "living". For everyone else, the person they love is gone, but there is a constant physical reminder of who they used to be. Everyone loses.

> Especially as at the peak of his abilities, he really turns into an arrogant asshole with little patience for the idiots (as he perceived them) around him.

I think that's to be expected; consider if you gave a 3-year-old the mental capacity of a genius-level adult. They don't have the emotional development or maturity to deal with it. Charlie is similar. I actually think of it the other way: Charlie adapted remarkably well to his newfound intelligence, given his lack of understanding of the world beforehand. He certainly wasn't perfect, but I think many/most people would fare worse.
I used to be huge Abloy Protec2 fanboy until I found out that they are very litigious, which made me wonder if their locks have been picked but the results were just taken down. I think they are still great locks. If anyone is going to break into my house there are easier and faster ways than picking the lock. However, the notion of an unpickable lock requires a lot of convincing for me to accept now.

Fair enough. I'm not sure what fueled this idea that marking variables with types will make the code faster. Cython? I think part of the issue, too, is that in Python type annotations are really just fancy comments. If you mark a function as taking ints in Python and stick a double in, at most your editor or mypy will complain. If you do it in Julia, it's a compilation error. Tangent: JET.jl might catch these sorts of issues for you and I think has linter support in VS Code now or imminently.

I'm not sure being able to subtype concrete types will help with the specific issue you're showing here. Really the right thing to do is make the function take Numbers. If you allowed Int to be subtyped, things would still be semantically wrong, and you would have introduced a parallel inheritance tree that will break a lot of the interoperability multiple dispatch enables.
That is an easy read, and I liked the examples such as hay farming, and 'shallow' v. 'deep' work.

You must be trolling. You literally had a civil war for the same exact reason... Unfortunately, no state allows any subset of itself to secede.

I think we must do it.

We need to do it as individuals, as groups.

We need to alert employers of the potential legal consequences.

We need to educate developers to not use it.
None of our block cipher or hash function primitives have unconditional security proofs; a lot of the reason to accept them is that the best-known attacks against the widely-used ones are very poor, even after a lot of knowledgeable people have studied them for a long time. But that doesn't logically exclude the possibility that there are unknown mathematical insights that would lead to much more effective attacks.

Often, protocols or constructions on top of these cryptographic primitives may have proofs that unconditionally reduce their security to the security of the primitives ("breaking this is at least as hard as AES", normally because "if you could break this, you could also break AES"), or in some cases proofs that do this by making only comparatively uncontroversial mathematical assumptions.

This is a good situation to be in, all things considered, and way better than the past, but it's not an ideal situation!
> If I had a private office and didn't have to block out background conversation with noise-cancelling headphones and loud music that would be fine, yeah.

These sound like the kinds of employee privileges you’d like to negotiate for at work, ideally with multiple other coworkers backing you. The kind of thing that would ideally come from multiple discussions, some of which would ultimately boil down to your and your employer’s obligations. Let’s hope that won’t be too political for your taste, should you decide to stop working from home!
Can you make a lock that reliably detects pick attempts and renders itself temporarily or permanently inoperable? (Not that very many lock users would prefer this security vs. availability tradeoff over what they're used to, probably.)

I’ve been automating processes and systems (with software, not robotics) since my early days as a sysadmin. I would later mentor many juniors over the years and was often challenged by them about how good for our careers doing such a thing was. I would always respond that I felt our jobs were to try to automate ourselves out of being necessary, because then we could move on to bigger more challenging problems, now that we had gotten common repeatable issues out of the way. “There will always be bigger, better work for those with the skills required to automate their jobs out of existence”, I would tell them.

Now 25 years later I find myself saying similar things when discussing the topic with people who fear automation displacing workers, and my initial response to this article was much the same.

Then, a memory of a commercial I used to see as a kid popped into my head and for the first and only time I’ve felt myself being pulled to an anti-automation sentiment - and this is an isolated use case of automation I am feeling this way about, and it is all because of this commercial that apparently still occupies a place in my mind probably 40 years since it aired.

> There's way too much emotion in politics these days. I would like to see a return of rational discourse.

Politics affect people's daily lives. Suggesting that people should just ignore the inherent emotional component of these decisions and the impact that they have on our lives is both incredibly unrealistic and quite a privileged position to occupy.
First friction limited stopping distance is a function of Velocity squared. Trains running on rails are longer, but the reason they use rails is rails have lower friction.

Which is why real world freight trains have stopping distances at 65MPh of over a mile. This is also one of the reasons they can’t climb seemingly mild inclines.

Limiting the underground freight trains to say 1/10th a mile and maximum throughput is probably close to 30mph.

“The issues” themselves aren’t even fully agreed upon, especially if they’re not believed to be core by everyone.

Everyone believes that the start of human life is a core issue. It’s the basis for the pro-life movement. It’s also a core component of the pro-choice movement (that it doesn’t start that early, thus not killing babies, etc).

There are other things some people believe are core which others don’t believe even exist:

* many people are happy with this ruling because they want to bring mens’ right to “paper abortion” to the front. The argument is if she can do whatever with her body and not be subject to something undesirable for nine months, than he should have the same right since his hardship can last 18 years. The supporting arguments include absolute control means absolute responsibility (if pregnancy was accidental and she decides to keep it, responsibility is hers) and others, along with the greater discussion of perceived bias in family court. Opposing arguments mostly center around the welfare of the child.
* some people are of the opinion that “if you’re not a woman, shut up”. Others are using that phrase to support their opinion on trans recognition. Still others are using that phrase to highlight situations where women have gained influence in what many men might call “mens spaces”

The reality is pregnancy is a two-party result and so it’s impossible to expect one party to quietly step aside, more so when there is skin in the game. This involvement in fact helped win R v W in the first place!
