Federal judges can only be removed through impeachment by the House of Representatives and conviction in the Senate. Judges and Justices serve no fixed term — they serve until their death, retirement, or conviction by the Senate.

So retirement is an option, which is what I am guessing most choose.
No, in all RDBMSes I know of, it's absolutely the other way around: Enabled or disabled (usually CHECKED / NOT CHECKED) is an attribute you set for each and every constraint, either at creation (where it usually has one or the other as default if you don't explicitly set it) or in an ALTER... statement.
Perhaps it shouldn't, but that's beside my point.

My point was about someone higher up applying standards to everyone under them but not even considering having those same standards applied to themselves.

Should the head of IT be in the kill group? Why? It might have just been a couple of their team and they had no idea.

The board obviously says "your team your responsibility and plus we don't know you're not in on it"

Ok but then the owner or the stockholders should be able to apply EXACTLY that same reasoning to that same director or the entire board. If I'm a stock holder, I don't know they're not in on it and "your team your responsibility", applies all the way to the owner/ceo.

It's almost like there should be some other less stupid way to resolve problems...

Doha Cat being associated always confused me. Alice did not actively run the ashram past 1995. Doja was born in 1995. How could Alice have had any significant impact (as a person, not as an artist) on Doja Cat’s career and especially early growth as an artist? It feels like name dropping.

I have no issue with Microsoft setting community standards for the online spaces they run, or anybody else for that matter. But Microsoft is setting community standards for places they do not run here, just because these spaces use their software. This is ridiculous, and sets yet another dangerous precedent.

nevertheless, you can tell that a voter is a registered D, I, or R. you can tell if they turned in a ballot in a given election.

I have no idea what you think happened under the Clinton era to cause the financial crash of 2009. Most of the immediate things, such as the housing boom driven by easy lending policies, happened under Bush.

So I'd need a reference to support that idea.

However I'll give you another one. Most people's impression is that Carter destroyed the economy and Reagan's deregulation saved the day. But actually the facts are almost exactly reversed - Carter did the deregulating but the benefits were not seen until Reagan was in power.

See https://noahpinion.substack.com/p/much-of-what-youve-heard-a... for a reference.
I don't know the statistical tools to properly validate it, but to my eye, it looks like the study participants actually tend to do a solid job of estimating the rate of change within the past handful of years. Their awareness of the absolute values is more scattered, but their knowledge of very recent relative change is better than I would have guessed from the abstract.
What's your standard on rights? The constitution has the 16th amendment in it which means any tax when called income tax is okay, and the original constitution's articles allows for excise taxes. So this is an area you have to remain vigilant on to prevent the political will from gaining consensus if it matters to you. Centrists are playing this role swimmingly, preventing any party from gaining any useful power, while the rest of the country actually believes the "wave" of their color is actually going to happen for like almost a decade now.

This is such a strange reply.

If the business is running at a loss (including legal fees) then yes that loss can be used to reduce the tax burden this year.

But since the loss burden is 100% [1],and the tax burden say 50% this is worse, not better. Sure the 5 million accumulated loss means 2.5 million less tax, but it also means 5 million gone to cover the losses..

[1] losses are funded from somewhere, and those funds typically have to be replaced sooner or later (or bankruptcy). Working capital, reserves, loans etc. Unless they're like listed on the stock exchange.

First, the eternal question: Any thoughts on ways of discarding/improving semver?

Second, and probably more interesting: Have you thought of some ways to formalize these notions of stability in different situations?

Third, dreaming: I can imagine a space for some kind of cross-language, computer-readable description of what functions/methods/identifiers have been (i) removed; (ii) deprecated; (iii) changed; (iv) added. In some cases, such a description could be extracted by static analysis.
Kids can be mean to each other too; so I do support some sort of parental control (OS level) which Minecraft, software generally, should interact with. Also servers which provide parents with tools to better monitor the interactions.

I disagree about splitting up families, but do agree that a safety mode where children are in more heavily allow-listed environments should be standard.

I should have been more nuanced on right sizing: if you have a large fleet of servers with homogeneous specs ir workloads, it can be very much worthwhile. The problem with rightsizing is the amount of planning and testing that needs to go into it for production workloads, which is a significant cost in staff time vs the potential savings - this must be thought through. For many workloads its not simply good enough to review some historic metrics and adjust, as there will be implications for baseline and performance under load
Well, I just looked on Twitter and see many, many Oberlin grads lamenting the Gibson's judgement and claiming that "everyone always knew" Gibson's was "racist" without any hard facts.

Just one example: https://twitter.com/ejdickson/status/1566061809500622848

She's still calling people who pled guilty to shoplifting "alleged shoplifters." That's dishonest.

Let's just say I don't hold by that school's accreditation.
It's important to remember that this same problem haunted historiography for at least 2 centuries, if not much more. At least from the 1700s, and lasting well into the 1900s, historians considered themselves the historians of events, rather than non-events. As such, they automatically gave too much weight to change. That a different approach was possible was not even considered until modern anthropology got going in the late 1800s. But credit for the big change in historiography is typically assigned to the Annales school and to Fernand Braudel in particular, and his concept of the "Longue durée":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longue_durée

"The longue durée is the French Annales School approach to the study of history. It gives priority to long-term historical structures over what François Simiand called histoire événementielle ("evental history", the short-term time-scale that is the domain of the chronicler and the journalist), concentrating instead on all-but-permanent or slowly evolving structures, and substitutes for elite biographies the broader syntheses of prosopography. The crux of the idea is to examine extended periods of time and draw conclusions from historical trends and patterns."

We should not expect ordinary layman to get things right when professional historians, until recently, had a strong bias toward events (and even now, many still demonstrate this bias).

From what Microsoft's said, it's less about profanity and more about taking down things like serious threats, doxxing/stalking, etc. I have no issue with moderating that, and I'm glad it's (at least in theory) not being used as a filter to keep everything that happens in Minecraft G-rated since a lot of more mature people play it. I think implementing a game-wide ban on a community that's spread across thousands of individual servers has the potential to cause so much harm if someone makes a mistake or there's a glitch, not to mention trolls gaming the system to get people they don't like banned. Content moderation at scale is impossible, and considering Minecraft's still one of the biggest games in the world, mistakes will be made.

As an aside, have you looked into putting a whitelist on your server? It could provide a lot of peace of mind, especially when you're trying to keep it to just your kids and friends.

The referenced GALLOP poll only asked if the respondents believe in God/believe in a God.

Pew Research conducted a similar study and found that 90% of respondents believe in a higher power, which echos GALLOP, but only 56% believe in God as described in the Bible.

It's not clear what percentage of people believed in the Bible's God 60 years ago, but if we, for argument's sake, assume 90-100% then 56% support now is comparatively uncommon. Under those assumptions, it would be quite reasonable to think that religious culture has changed dramatically.

The key takeaway here is that communication is hard and that data is easy to twist.

Erlang/OTP does medium difficulty things, i.e. very large applications with good fault tolerance and QoS, really well.

I think this is a product of mass social media and mass media. Effectively, we amplify propaganda one way or another. It leads to false impressions and we are unable to make decisions based off real information.

This survey (which imo is not very robust) simply highlights the fact we are uninformed as a population. This is a failure primarily of our news media (the big 5) and education.

Easy example, we believe mass shootings are far more common and dangerous than they actually are. A child is ~100x more likely to die from a drug overdose than a mass shooting, and ~10x from a car crash. Yet our perception is skewed because of what we see in the news / shared.

Truly, most of our understanding is skewed in such a manner. That’s why ignoring anecdotal stories is so important for rational policy discussion. Unfortunately, mass media & social media (imo) is really making it impossible.

A police officer has better legal protections, and in practice can get away with a lot more.

But in theory, what they are supposed to be able to do is surprisingly similar.

On detaining a random person, quoting https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/citizen%27s_arrest, In general, the ability to perform a citizen’s arrest is the same for a regular person as it is for a police officer without a warrant.
When a single individual/company intentionally dors something bad why not pin it on them? The payment should be more than just making the victim whole. And it should be enough to make sure the aggressor doesn't do it again. At the same time that should also be a deterrent to others.

I wouldn't really pin this one on the internet. Consensus Spaces are the new normal, people have realized the dialogue is a waste of time at best and a trap to give the other side a soap box at worst. Everyone laughed at the lgbt community for it at first but the reality is that those same people took notes and realized that it was actually an extremely clever way to help propagate ideas amongst a target demographic. This strategy is popular irl and in cyberspace now (anyone coming from a college campus recently will have some experience with spaces designed to this attitude) it's just much easier/faster to make Consensus Spaces online.
> Which function did the error come from? Who knows. And what if canFailA/canFailB return errors from other functions up the stack the same way? Now you've got a massive tree of possibilities to try and work through. A complete nightmare.

This is why the popular approach in Rust is to add "failed to do X" to the error before returning it, which is handled by popular libraries.

An example of the effect:

Failed to start, caused by

Failed to load config, caused by

File not found (the error from the OS)

> This is a real problem that should be solved, but it's not a problem of errors. It's a problem of values in general. Remember, the Go language has no inherit concept of error. Anything that we happen to call an error is actually just a user-defined type, same as any other type a user might define (birthdate, order number, stock price, etc.).

The concept that a function can fail is pretty fundamental, ignoring it at the language level is like saying "a function failing is not common enough to address consistently"

I've started reading Bertrand Russell. In your 20s, questioning whether the table exists is a search for wisdom. In your 70s, it is a sign of dementia.

(Philosophy): Does the table exist? ... We can only admit sense data.

(Quantum): Does the table exist? ... It only exists when measured.

(Comp. Sci): Does the table exist? ... That depends. The table definition implies a table that does not (yet) exist. Instantiating the table makes it exist, except in the case where the table is dynamically allocated, in which case it is partial.

(AI): Does the table exist? ... The neural net is undecided whether this is a table or a chair.

(Politics): Does the table exist? ... Let's table that resolution and never speak of it again.

(Amazon): Does the table exist? ... Your table shipment has been delayed.

(Dad): Does the table exist? ... My broken little toe is permanent evidence that the table exists.

(Me): Does the table exist? ... define 'exists'

(Wife): Does the table exist? ... OMG, can you be more pedentic?
