You can probe different areas of the same device by adding many electrical probes, usually in a geometry called a Hall bar. In the old days of TBG, the different regions of the same device would do wildly different things. These days we are much better at stacking, and the different regions of the same device will be mostly the same.

How about vote by email? Go to a vote.gov, fill out your ballot, it gives your a PDF you can review, you email that to your board of elections, they reply with a "got it!", and they're counted like all other mail-in ballots on election night.

Same process, just s/USPS/SMTP/. But if that's fine, why make the user jump through the email hoop? Hell, digital ballots would give you stronger guarantees for verifying your vote. Publish all the ballots publicly and base the final tally for digital votes on that public ledger. Every voter will have a code they can use to pull up their specific ballot and see that it's correct. And since the codes are public that's not actually enough to prove it was yours (yay non-repudiation).

No cryptography, no hashes, no zero trust proofs. The internet is only used to move a document from A->B and security model could be explained to the least technical person since it's a direct analogue of how you would do it IRL.

Good question!

Alternatives have been proposed and they haven't caught on so far (for general usage, I'm not talking about specialized applications where they make sense).

Give me a break. You'd need a down payment of ~400K to have a mortgage low enough to barely break even at $15,000 in rent per year. None of his math makes sense.

Of course you would really rent a 500k property at something more like 2500 a month but even then you'd need a down payment near 200k to start making a profit.
You just look silly trying to build financial software without understanding and implementing double-entry or ledgers. You have to know when to employ debit and credit nomenclature and be able to easily explain the reactions in the system...or you look silly. Sort of like when accountants start talking about databases and APIs without proper training.

I have had to train developers on the simple concept of a ledger, which totally baffled them. It is event sourcing. You write, never update. If you want to offset a previous transaction you just record a new one. Want to know the account balance, just add up every amount within the range of entries you care about.

Once they grasped that they were wanting to use the terms debit and credit in that context. Not cool. If you are tracking single accounts you only need negative and positive amounts. If the account/ledger is not offsetting another debit/credit there is no need to introduce that concept and complicate things. If you do, the finance team is going to wonder what other accounts you are offsetting. If the answer is none, brows wrinkle and confusion sets in.

And ffs don't ever send them a spreadsheet or report with currency symbols in it. Major peave.

Accountants have been using event sourcing (immutable ledgers) for hundreds of years. Powerful.

Every complex finance problem I have run into in software dev was easily and elegantly solved with immutable records.
> patterns and flows and data models and extensions

Might I suggest that you could probably try some Clojure and see how it goes.
This all makes sense given "for the contexts I care about (small web applications largely written by solo devs)". Unfortunately for you most software (and therefore what most developers work with) isn't for those contexts, but rather for larger projects written by multiple devs, where being lower level and compiled (runtime speed) and having static typing (more explicit and easily understood by other devs) become much more valued.

You'll probably always be in the minority with your preferences because of this.

I'm happy for the author if this works for them, but I fear this feeds into the ongoing narrative that being a night owl is somehow a negative (or "lazy").

Everyone has a natural sleep schedule, or chronotype. Instead of forcing ("tricking" in the author's words) yourself into an earlier pattern just because of the expectations of those around you, or the idea that being early is universally more productive, it’s often better to just let yourself be a night owl.
Totally agree. There is so much less interaction required with the controls (whether hardware or software) with a Tesla. I also have a relatively recent Audi Q7 in addition to my Tesla and holy crap the physical dials and buttons are horrible to use in the Q7 compared to the Tesla M3. With the Tesla, all my settings such as my last listened to Spotify station, seat position, auto wiper/lights preferences, etc is saved and I never really have to interact with the screen unless I need to enter in a map destination.
Ah, the combo is actually different, and longer. Funny how you can do something so many times but fail to explain it accurately. I guess that's muscle memory for you.
It's mostly self-preservation of the regimes in that country, Fidel Castro taught the worlds' dictators that they can stay in charge for life as long as there is a big external enemy so people naturally rally around a strong leader. It triggers a deeply instinctive group behavior where it's not the right time for "change".

If the world becomes more unsafe it's because autocratic leaders are feeling the pressure of their citizens, mainly due to the internet and free access to information.

You can see this in the Arab world where the enemy is always "israel and the zionist world order", the US in Cuba and Venezuela, NATO in Russia, the "western humiliation" in China, Colonization in Zimbabwe, ...

It somehow always winds up that organizations that promote democracy are agents of the west and should be suppressed. Formenting domestic problems in democracies only serves to make their regime look better in comparison.

Will this lead to a world war? I don't think so, but there will definitely be a lot of manufactured conflict designed for their own internal consumption.

In Russia's case, the Belarus and Kazakhstan revolutions apparently triggered the regime sufficiently to into an unprovoked invasion with a "kill list" of Russian speakers that were critical of the kremlin and the resolve to drag the only russian-speaking area under democratic rule into poverty.

China doesn't have a pressing need to invade anybody at the moment but I do believe that they will blockade Taiwan in the next decade.

Depends on the context. When you're programming a transactional banking system? Heck yeah I want static types.

When you're programming a form on a web page? It's way-ay-ay more effort for dubious gains, with new downsides added into the mix.
As an old Java head, I found FX [1] to fill a missing DI gap for me. Some can argue that it isn't really needed in go, and I tend to agree, but after using it in a few large projects, I find that it encourages a good separation of concerns that enables things to be easier tested as well as prevents cyclical imports.

On ARM v7m the "correct" way to would be to raise the current thread's BASEPRI the the highest exception priority you have to lock up. The M0+ cores on the RP2040 only support v6m and require masking those interrupts, but since M0+ cores are limited to the 16 internal exceptions and at most 32 external interrupts the code sequence to temporarily mask those interrupts isn't much longer. The annoying downside is that it forces a tighter coupling on programmers. The RP2040 specifically may offer a cleaner solution if you can afford to dedicate one of the hardware locks available in the single-cycle I/O block to each conflict that requires resolution. Such a solution should even work for both ARM cores.
Sure, but the rumor is believed by just enough people that you can get away with selecting 'Lord' in every single paper or electronic form that asks for a title.
Snipd is really really good. I always hated how hard was to use podcasts for learning because how ephemeral they seem:

- It's cumbersome to take notes because I mainly don't have my hands free when listening or I don't want to type on my phone

- It's difficult to keep track of what I've listened to and revisit good episodes

Snipd solves both of those issues for me:

- The audio snippets are great for automatically creating custom transcripts of the podcast highlights

- The History and Favorite lists and the weekly email digest prevent me from just forgetting about an episode after listening to it

You could implement it as either a subaccount per customer (in which case the balance is just the sum of all txns in that account) or have 'apartment' as another dimension (field) you store (optionally) for each transaction.

Either way you can get a sum of all txns that have hit that apartment's AR account.
Ha! I think with Alarmy it keeps alerting, can’t remember off the top of my head.

That’s because the system is not built by programmers. Some accounts (that’s accounting accounts, not bank accounts) are positive for you and some are negative. You need to know what kind of account it is to know if debit is good or bad for you.

Is that why I have gotten several phone calls over the last few months from people asking if I'm interested in selling my house, many saying they will pay above current market rates and in cash?

I'm not in a big city. I'm in a county with a population density of around 600/mi^2, where the biggest city population is 40k and second biggest is about half that. My house is a little bit outside a town that is only about 10k.

It's about an hour on a good day to commute from here to the nearest big city.

It's not a place I'd expect there to be a lot of interest in speculative house buying...but I'm getting the calls and can't think of what else they might be.
You don't stop riots by shooting at them. You stop riots by preventing or resolving the economic and social conditions that lead to them; that is, by improving the quality of life of those who have the lowest quality of life.

Unfortunately, shooting at them is easier to both conceptualize and implement, so governments tend to simply do that anyway.
I post pictures on Facebook of myself and my children shooting guns.

I had one high school classmate who wanted to become a cop. He was a runt who discovered weightlifting and steroids. The thing that kept him from becoming a cop was that he got caught stealing from vending machines when we were teenagers.

It's fantastic that he didn't get to carry a badge and gun.

OK, so returns from 1870 to 2015 are same for housing and stocks. Which again proves that there's nothing morally wrong about housing prices, if these investments are replaceable, one can always invest in stocks to save up to buy housing (at least on average, that is).
Yes, if you can't afford your house you need to find a new one. The family will come out well ahead here because the tax would only be on a percentage of the houses value, they can use the proceeds to buy a new, cheaper house. No one has the right to live anywhere just because their grandma did.
I can't say that I have specifically tried any, but I feel like if someone had come out with a new "the Rails for X" where X is a programming language even more abstracted than Ruby, I would have heard about it.

No, there wasn't. There were groups of activists pushing that message, and it was loudly broadcast by partisan media seeking to tie those activists to mainstream politicians. The cities where such activists were particularly loud elected mayors and municipal attorneys opposed by those activists (e.g., New York, Portland, Seattle). Police budgets remain intact.
> When was housing not an investment?

Housing was never an investment before recent decades, with an emphasis on the housing bubble. Housing tracked inflation for 400 years.

https://thegoldobserver.substack.com/p/amsterdam-real-housin...

edit: the history of US house prices is that they strictly tracked inflation, then with government subsidy right after WWII, housing prices jumped up, then stayed flat at that new level for the next 50 years, then the turn of the millennium happens and housing becomes an investment (after a stock market crash.)

> I feel like you're inferring qualities in OSS that don't (explicitly) exist. This is not uncommon. Specifically;

> >> It seems the large corporations like FANGs are largely pushing OSS to use volunteer work to make software a commodity

> Why would you expect them to do anything different? Companies are driven by profit, not some sense of morality. OSS licenses allow them, even encourage them, to trade volunteer (aka free) labor in return for source code availability.

Apart from the fact that companies and corporations can act ethically despite driven by profits, I did not say I'm desillusioned with the corporations, but the FOSS community. Essentially it is us as users&developers who let this happen.

> >> which to me seem increasingly more about a way to make a profit of the FOSS trend by using volunteer work without any investment from their end.

> There's often serious investment from their end, but that's irrelevant. They absolutely want to leverage FOSS to make a profit. And that's explicitly allowed by OSS licenses.

Again I don't say that companies shouldn't make a profit, but when OSS started to become more mainstream many (including myself) believed that it would be a way to break the stranglehold of large monopolistic corporations on the software world and create an ecosystem of relatively small software companies that would customise OSS software for specific needs on a relatively even playing field. Instead what happened is that OSS might have accelerated the concentration of the software world, by making small jobs essentially unviable.

Regarding investment, I expect that FANGs still very much come out on top, just imagine what they had to pay in licencing cost for their datacentres if no oss operating systems existed. Also much of these investments are towards use cases with very little benefit for normal users.

> To put it another way, your disillusionment is because of a "bug" on your end, not on theirs. They are behaving exactly as OSS is designed. Your _expectation_ of their behavior is inaccurate, and so does not match reality. Not surpisingly this makes you sad :(

I think you misunderstand me, my disillusionment is with the idea what FOSS could have achieved (and people imagined) but didn't. I sometimes wonder if FOSS has made the world a better place, like many hoped it would. You might not care about it but I do.
> I don't believe this is the case as since 2008 the U.S. construction industry has not even built enough units to keep up with population growth. I believe this is a supply problem which is two-fold.

A counterargument to this is that population growth has not been very high in the past few decades: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=SUL3

You certainly have valid points, especially in San Francisco. Nevertheless, looking at the broader market, outside of California, the market appears to be working: builders find a way to build what will sell and maximize their profits. Last week, I drove around a planned community in a middle-America state. Developers started building houses around ~2010 and are still building out the area. These developers had no problem building thousands of homes that were selling well until very recently.

I crowdfunded the Gemini PDA from them, and absolutely loved it.

https://www.www3.planetcom.co.uk/gemini-pda

I had few nitpicks. The worst thing was some apps only work in portrait mode (not the fault of the device when MS Teams behaves that way).

Next nitpick was that you couldn't use the screen at various angles - it only had an "open" and "closed" position it wanted to stay in. Minor gripe.

Third nitpick was that it didn't have any kind of water resistance. (Hence why the Gemini is dead - my fault)

The phone version of the Gemini was just a little too big for a phone, IMO. Although I do love the clamshell design more than the slider design. Nobody yet has made something close to the Nokia e90 which was any good.
It correlates with access to abortion interestingly. Of which blacks use it the most.
You think a junior can't understand how this library works and use it safely?
Right, well, I think we can agree the committee makes some weird calls sometimes with respect to language design. We only got concepts and coroutines (relatively) recently, and they're still kind of warty. `std::range` is beautiful and I'd still only use it sparingly. The C++ language, in my experience, is a language best served as a safe subset with "magic" and advanced features eschewed as much as possible.

The C++ STL has a lot of templated code in it (obviously), but at least the amount of weird tricks, such as template recursion, is fairly small (ignoring newer additions like `std::range`). And even then, compiler errors can make an experienced engineer's eyes water. At least you can paste most errors into Google and find a relevant StackOverflow post about how to fix it.

Involving a library like this, though - best of luck, the engineer is on their own.
I like how the moment something happened there that even slightly piqued the UK's interest they immediately sent a warship to it and suddenly they weren't so sovereign lol

>I'm not sure if this is what you're saying, but I think the AST is not meant for "human" consumption, but also, translations that result in alternative and radically different representations between what you see and what I see can be problematic.

File systems aren't meant for human consumption either, they're a practical solution to the need to store various bits of data on a disk in a coherent manner. We've made tools for representing the inodes and other structures in human readable form. We also represent them visually.

We can do the same for the AST. It doesn't have to be a dump of the structure, a tool just has to present a view that is close enough for our brains to impedance match, and we're off to the races.
Like everything else -- what evidence do they present and what credentials do they posses that makes them a valuable interpreter of such evidence.
