The whole topic of access control is way more work than you might expect:

There is already an idea and initial implementation of path based ACLs for Josh. However, even if that concept was perfect and already implemented, it would be kind of useless.

Why?

To be useful in practice we would need a UI for code review in a monorepo. This UI would need to aware of the "workspaces" and ACLs in the repo and respect them when showing files and diffs to the users.

As it stands now, Josh is used together with either Gerrit or GitHub (or similar).
Patches or PRs are always being reviewed in the context of the full backing monorepo. As long as those are the only options to do code review, I don't see the value of having access control at the Git level.

That being said, I am planing to create a new code review tool that does support these things, but it has a long way to go before it will be a serious alternative to the common tools used today.
Like I said, it /mainly/ impacts freeloaders. Having a 1+2 GB git clone is not a common usecase. That being said, it appears that you would not be affected:

For the first part, that is an oath, may I ask if any judge has ever been prosecuted for being just and this breaking the law? Which law?

For the second, it is not a question of opposition. It is not reasonable or logical no matter the mental gymnasics and legal bullshit you legalists try to apply to it (you are so deep in legality you have forgotten reason). There is no such thing as an unnatural person. A corporation is an entity with specific defintions. The reason behind this mental gymnastics is precisely what you noted: rights. But if you follow logic and reason companies have absolutley no rights whatsoever, only obligations and privileges that allow them to participate in commerce. However, stipulatig that somehow they are partially persons because people operate them and they derive those people's rights allows them to argue against their obligations because of inerited rights. This is what I meant by a veil of theatrics to acheive your underlying goal.

Under a government of the people,for the people and by the people, the people's understand of what could reasonably be considered a person trumps every other argument. A reasonable person would not consider walmart or cpac a person or to have rights of a person because people operate it. Companies were around long before the USA was a country and this stipulation was never made before because it is hilariously illogical.

If you want corporations to have specific privileges, legislate that as such, meaning unlike rights they are not irrevocable by the government and contingent on the fulfillment of their obligations.

Take a billboard paid for by a company for example, the company has no rights to free speech. However the individuals that run it can run the billboard as individuals on behalf of the company, accepting responsibility as individuals under law (typically the CEO would).

> Why should it be any different if you happened to have purchased that house through a corporation?

It is different because you chose to make it different and relinquished any rights of ownership as an individual. You now should pay corporate taxes and nullification of your incorporation means the government gets your house. If you don't like that, buy it as a person. Thank you for bringing this up, do you know about the home ownership, housing price and homeless catastrophe that is unflolding? This is the cause. Corporations are buying houses left and right and taking advantage of home owner rights to do so. A city should be able to ban corporate owned housing but since they are persons that is impossible unless done at the federal level and even then it must pass a supreme court challenge. As a result corporations enjoy personhood rights more than most americans.

When you forgot reason, you tolerated corruption at the foundation of the whole system.
Where this will really hit is the docker image registry. The lazy CI implementations will just tag a new image every single commit and leave them sitting there forever. Hundreds of megs each, completely useless.

In a way I'm almost glad people will have to start cleaning up after themselves.
Which is true, but doesn't automatically mean that most of the code has to be developed in that compiled language. There is a reason why Python is a popular language for machine learning: the computation is done in optimized native libraries, but the logic can be developed in a more interactive language without a relevant performance penalty.

This also applies to a large amount of other problems, splitting the computation between a slower "high level language" which is suitable for rapid development and low level libraries in a fast compiled language is a good solution.

And of course, you could have fast compiling languages which allow interactive development - just naming Common Lisp as one. You can recompile individual functions witout rebuilding the executable. This could be achived with many languages, but unfortunately it seems that no one bothered to build such systems.

Listen, I'm willing to try to adhere more closely. I see how some of the above posts click with what you're complaining about.

One suggestion ; some news articles are just, almost, entrapment. I feel like HN having an article about racism, is going to entice all sorts of comments which break the site guidelines.

Take my posts above ; I legitimately am concerned that by simply labeling those we are strongly opposed to, eg racists, we fail. If we just label, if we therefore misunderstand their motivations, any attempts at correction become flawed, and just plain don't work.

I want positive corrective action to fix things, not divisive posturing.

Obviously in hindsight I should not have waded in, I should have realised how my post, my motivations could be misunderstood. I agree, my bad. 100%. But once there, I'm left in this horrid position of suddenly feeling as if I'm being labelled as a racist sympathizer or some such. A reputation is a hard thing to leave on the ground, with no response!

Perhaps I should find better ways to wade out.

Anyhow, are we OK for now?

In 1997 I was doing an apprenticeship. It had a very well organized curriculum and well thought courses. One course was based on 8080/8085 cpu. You know what they gave us: A development board (roughly the size of a modern mainboard) with onboard hex keyboard 0-9a-f and 3-4 function keys (halt, run, write at ... something like that). And a book and templated paper. So the exercises, 3-4 hours every week, were: Implement that algorithm on paper in assembler, use the book to translate to hex code on your memory layout, hack the program into your board and press execute. And PRAY that you did not make a mistake in the assembler or the typing.

I still think, that this is the most efficient way to teach kids CPU/Memory and assembler.
Writing for the top performers is the main reason why computers turn into e-waste. It's Wirth law applied.

I wish more developers would work on RPIs for the same reason.

Aluminium burns too, just harder to get going. Almost all the metals can be coaxed into burning in various ways, all metal fires are an absolute disaster when they happen.
I think you missed the IMHO. We were never again going back to 9 to 5 office work. That is over and done with. Just like people started using skyscrapers to maximize use of space. Same is happening with internet, we no longer care to be colocated.

It's true that white Progressives have a lot to answer for. We're oblivious (not woke), patronizing, and paternalistic. Hopefully, that's changing.

FYI, In reaction to the Civil Rights era, the white working class left the Democratic coalition. Most of the Democratic internecine warfare ("circular firing squad") since then has been about "if" and "how" to bring those whites back into the coalition.

I'm very involved in local politics. I've been PCO for my blue state's largest precinct in arguably the most left-wing legislative district (and therefore congressional district). Think Pramila Jayapal. The outsider and MSM depictions of how these things play out isn't even wrong.

I can't speak to how Arizona's or Maricopa County's misc Democratic Party orgs operate (each is distinct). From my (very) limited contact, my impression is they're not so different from my primary party org.

You are right on point. Water as well as food of course. Growing our own food, collecting rainwater and choosing a healthier lifestyle is what we can do for ourselves.
I'm not sure DZA pairs being correlated disproves much - they share about 50% of their genes, so some correlation would be expected if you assume intelligence is inherited. The other omission, of whether the twins are actually raised apart, is much more significant. The study would have to account for that, by introducing an apartedness score.

Another possible interesting pool would be fertility clinics, if we can track donors with their offspring, whatever correlation we find is 100% nature and absolutely zero percent nurture.

100%.

This annoys me so much in Java debates. The argument goes something like "It doesn't matter that Java is verbose and requires hundreds of files because the IDE generates them for you". And this is true... when you write the code. But the real friction is when you must read or change the code in response to new requirements, which is exactly what we as engineers spend the bulk of our time doing.
The people were not sanctioned only the onchain addresses of Tornado were. Github was not providing any service to the onchain addresses.

John Carmack mentioned that he's shocked by how little interest Big Capital has in nuclear fission (he's more into fission that fusion). He talks a lot about it in a recent Lex Fridman podcast, a good listen if you're into this. It's weird that this isn't the main focus of the whole energy industry.
Yeah, sure, and taxation is theft. Got it.
Hi. An electric tv is my dream.
Valuations are generally a multiplier of yearly revenue, which makes sense. Valuations are, on paper, what you'd buy a company for, and in the old school look of things, how much the company made per year was a good metric, and you'd multiply it by several years, since you'd probably not buy it as a super short term investment.

Now, the actual multiplier values used for that... we can debate them for ages :-)

No, they are police, prosecutors and judges. And that is one of the problems with the US system of justice. Justice is supposed to be blind. As it works now, the white upper class kid gets a slap on the wrist after raping an unconscious woman, while the black kids go to prison for minor possession. And since the people in charge don’t have worry about the laws being applied to them, they introduce outrageous laws. The governor never has to worry about his daughter going to prison when she needs an abortion.
OP - more context in the title next time please. Some of us have no idea which "tornado" this refers to and or were unaware of a crypto project called "Tornado".

Sorry to disappoint but money laundering is very much a real, federal offense. (most other jurisdictions have equivalent laws)

It's ironic, Tornado cash is something closer to the true spirit of "crypto" currency.

guess only rich insiders are allowed to launder money.
unique_ptr is pretty bad for performance as well. It is more complicated to use compared to raw pointers and encourages an OOP object-per-object piecemal code and data architecture. I've never seen a C++ program making use of unique_ptr that didn't give a strong smell of enterprise programming.

Building things is definitely hard work! It sure is a lot easier to just know the right people, but you also should have the right skills and insight to identify the opportunities.
How is code speech? To me it is the equivalent to nuts and bolts of a machine.
What are the specs of your machine?
If you've tried them, how have have other engines such as Unreal fared?
Do you primarily do 2D or 3D development?
How long are the build times?
Agree, especially since it could bring some image variety into blogging. Sometimes I keep seeing the same, overused image again and again. Now you can create super cool looking, unique images and tailor them to how you'd like them to look like.
But probably not redistribute.
What does that mean? I'm not exactly aiming to be tried in court any time soon.
I'm suspicious that people arguing that safety checks making things slow are basing that on the very stale now idea that CPU's work sequentially. Which isn't true for super scalar machines at all. And also forgetting compilers will optimize away a lot of them.

There is an asymmetrical risk here. On one hand the compile might emit checks that aren't needed. On the other that the programmer will fail to insert a check that is needed.

As the venerable Bob Dylan sang, “The times they are a changin’”. The genie is out of the bottle and the benefits of the wfh genie are undeniably advantageous to many people.

The vast majority of people seek meaning and belonging within their personal lives through religion, philosophy, family, and deep friendships. Of all these factors, deep friendships are typically available through the workplace, but I’ve found most work friendships to be shallow and dominated by the shared connection to the workplace. Why spend 20-40 hours per month commuting for that? Imagine all the deep friendships that could be cultivated with that much time every month?
Some people would say that when a judge has to "stretch and squeeze" a law it's a failing of the lawmaking process.

And if elected lawmakers produce a clear and unambiguous law with a manifestly unjust outcome, to get that fixed society should turn to lawmakers rather than judges.
Not inherited, but I had an opportunity to see Alexander Stepanov's C++ STL code at Agilent Technologies(they inherited some of HP's code). The code was very well written.
Unsurprisingly, we continue to learn that non-human animals are less foreign to us than previously thought.

The fact that human beings take a “all animals are savage, primitive machines until proven wrong” POV is genuinely tragic. Was it Descartes that posited the screams of a dog being flayed were merely its programming?

Being surprised that animals so different than us possibly dream is just another form of Descartes’ ridiculous thought.
The point that went right over the head of you and the head of the other authoritarian that he is responding to is that there is no victim, not even a risk of a victim or any other bad "externality" (to use a word I know you people love) to money laundering just as a standalone act. The crime is defined in statute as a matter of convenience for the state because having privacy regarding where money comes from/goes makes it harder for them to prosecute other "real" crimes so they define that privacy as criminal in and of itself. But there is nothing inherently bad about the act of laundering in and of itself (unless you believe in guilt/badness by association) hence why he is referring to it as a "fake crime". Obscuring the sources of one's money is no more of a standalone crime than encrypting one's data is.
The $160m are real in a way that the $5bn are not.
I agree - and doing this is not the same as doing everything they ask, on the bet it will come off. In my opinion having that view for the managers to boast about means you are aligned with where they will invest - it is where they see value.

I hesitated to clock on the URL because "newamerica" is an alt-right keyword now.
The article itself was full of alt-right dogwhistles. That is, in 2022 parlance. In 2015 it was just the opposite.

Unrelated to the article itself but Fivetran has the worst possible product from a developer perspective, their APIs are unreliable and will fail on you randomly.
I understand the dynamics of articles in Forbes (the successful entrepreneur making his way to success, lots of them are paid for.) but most such companies have such shit infrastructure and APIs, I wonder if people are only paying because they're locked in or their non-tech clients use this stuff.
The only situation where I would like to save a kid in Bangladesh from dying is if it somehow led to people having less kids in Bangladesh. Which isn't a very straightforward implication.

I kinda see utilitarianism as a step on the horrifying path to human eusociality.

Have these people not learned yet that when you save a poor child they will just make fourteen other poor children in short time? Maybe the best form of charity is lobbying for over-regulation of child-rearing goods to the point of near unaffordability, as is currently happening in developed countries.

These people seem oversocialized.
It could and it should, but function specialisation without inlining is still on the wish list for llvm last I checked.
Ha. I can understand your pov for sure.

We (family with two kids under the age of 4) just moved to Texas, been in there ER once, urgent care twice, had stomach flu, ear infection, viral rash, a flat tire, water damage in the house we bought resulting in lots of money flying out the window and a scramble to find temp housing.

All in the past two weeks.

It’s pure hell to the point you laugh instead of cry.

For example, yesterday our kids got into daycare which meant the only thing my wife and I had to do was work. We could finally get a few hours of focus. Not thirty minutes into work the house cleaners I had forgotten about showed up to start cleaning.

Sometimes life seems nonstop.

But when my three year old gives me a kiss on the cheek or my one year old just wanted me to hold him, my world stops for just a moment and I realize how lucky we’ve been to even get to this point.

I guess I’m happy in hell.
Appears to be common industry practice at least for entry level devices. My old HP has the same behavior. Cannot scan with a defective print head.
This is my concern. I use my old pixel (3a) as an always-on Syncthing node but worry about the security implications.

But I haven't been able to find good info on what exactly the implications are. If I'm not worried about targeted attacks, does a device that is just a passive node pose a significant risk?

In other words, how much do security updates address targeted attacks (not my threat model) vs widespread attacks of non-updated phones?
And fortunately, its NOT in a vacuum. It's being ground down by ordinary weather etc.
