Water use doesn't mean destroying water. It means using some of the limited quantity of water that's available at a given time in a given place, using it for a given purpose and not some other purpose.

Water that evaporates isn't available for drinking and showers and farming.

1. Pruneyard relied on a provision of the California state constitution. That provision is not in Texas's state constitution.

This is simply not true. Both Texas and California have very similar Constitutional provisions.

California on speech:

Article 1 sec 2: Every person may freely speak, write and publish his or her sentiments on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of this right. A law may not restrain or abridge liberty of speech or press.

Texas on speech:

Article 1 sec 8: FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND PRESS; LIBEL. Every person shall be at
liberty to speak, write or publish his opinions on any subject, being responsible for the abuse of that privilege; and no law shall ever be passed curtailing the liberty of speech or of the press.

California on redress:

Article 1 Sec 3: The people have the right to instruct their representatives, petition government for redress of grievances, and assemble freely to consult for the common good.

Texas on redress:

Article 1 Sec 27: RIGHT OF ASSEMBLY; PETITION FOR REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES. The citizens shall have the right, in a peaceable manner, to assemble together for their common good; and apply to those invested with the powers of government for redress of grievances or other purposes, by petition, address or remonstrance.
Absolutely. But not your right to ensure that nobody can hear.

SD on an Intel mac with Vega graphics runs pretty well though — I think it ran at something like ~3-5 iterations/s for me, which is decent. I ran either https://github.com/magnusviri/stable-diffusion or https://github.com/lstein/stable-diffusion which have MPS support
I'm no expert on web dev, mostly working in BI/DBA.

Running commands over WinRM or SSH can return objects of any type from remote machines. In the background I believe it's converting them to serialized CLIXML over the wire.

e.g. $RemotePSVersion = Invoke-Command -ComputerName 'SomeOtherComputer' -ScriptBlock {$PSVersionTable}

Rather than the variable $RemotePSVersion being a string it's an object with the type "System.Management.Automation.PSVersionHashTable", just like if you ran $PSVersionTable locally.

For anything that returns text (e.g. external tools like curl/robocopy) you'll usually convert to an object in your script before further processing. That way it can be passed into whatever next steps in a generic way.

e.g.
curl https://catfact.ninja/fact | ConvertFrom-Json | Export-Csv '.\HighlyImportantInfo.csv'

curl https://catfact.ninja/fact | ConvertFrom-Json | Out-Gridview

That's less important when working interactively, but one major difference between Powershell/Bash is the relative focus on scripting vs interactive terminal use.
Probably. But 1) far fewer Republicans, and 2) Democrats have been given verbiage to lie about their support for it i.e. "universal access" or "universal coverage" or "universally affordable coverage."

If you ask a Democrat about whether they support socialized healthcare, they'll tell you that they of course support "universal access."

What is "universal healthcare" anyway? It sounds like some the kind of intensely workshopped and whiteboarded meaningless marriage between socialized healthcare and "universal access" that "Medicare for All" was designed to head off.

Weird, that seems backwards to me.

The actually-oppressed stay in hiding. Whether they're gay in 1945 or Russian dissidents today, or political dissidents in today's western overculture, "eschewing discussion of political topics" is a mandatory survival strategy. I can relate because I am in this position - having to pretend I'm something I'm not on a daily basis in almost all contexts.

Someone who feels they can afford to speak politically on things others won't like must be in a pretty powerful position.

What do you think that person looks like to someone who knows they have to keep their mouth shut to not have their life ruined?

Having the right to even talk about your issues is an important and oft-overlooked privilege.
No, because, when you're paying for an education you can also get loans (at usurious rates) to cover cost of living expenses too!

You won't pay now for that 10k/year required meal plan for cafeteria food and 20k/year for hostel-level accommodation but you're sure going to pay for it later.
Great article. I have hosted hundreds of happy hours, dinner parties, cocktail parties etc. Here are a few things I'd add:

- Name tags. Please, please use name tags. They might seem "formal" or "corporate" but they're also inclusive (no cliques!). I'd rather feel awkward asking someone to wear a name tag than feel awkward forgetting their name.

- Consider hosting on what I call "non red-level days," aka days that are NOT socially competitive. Socially competitive days or "red-level days" in America tend to be Thurs, Fri, and Sat nights. Also holidays and long weekends. People schedule big stuff on these nights. Make your party easy to attend: host it on a Monday, Tues, or Wed night.

- Set a start AND an end time, and mention both when you collect RSVPs and send reminder messages. End times help get people to show up on time. They also give people an easy out to leave.

- 2 hours is the best length of time for an event like this. I like 6-8P or 7-9P.

- Get a group photo! You'll be proud of your event. And you can use the photo when you invite people to your next party.

- Don't forget to send reminder messages to everyone who RSVP'd leading up to your event. I like sending my reminder messages 1 week prior, 4 days before, and then on the morning of.

Good luck!! I think more people should host parties and happy hours. It changed my life and helped me build a network and relationships to launch my last company, Museum Hack (sold 2019).

I recently self-published a book of every little tip and trick from hosting events to teach you how to host your first party.

OK good luck!! You should host a party!! Your event will be awesome!! We could all use some new friends these days.
Any correlations in there? It doesn't seem that hard to break it down by age, sex etc, compare with other stats and shine some light on it. Is it just population getting old, one of the vaccines having side effects, psychological effect of the war etc.
> Corporation is, after all, just a form of organization of natural persons, and cannot do anything on its own.

A corporation is a synthetic legal object: beyond basic restrictions on its form, it's allowed to legislate itself internally according to whatever bylaws and structure it pleases. There is no requirement (and no particular precedent) for them having a democratic structure.

This produces a fundamental tension between the people who comprise the corporation and the decisions that the corporation makes: the corporation can choose to do things that are overwhelmingly unpopular with its employees without significant recourse, since the corporation does not operate according to the will of its members.

In other words: corporations are naturally susceptible to undemocratic power concentrations, where a small number of executives or board members use the financial heft of the corporate body to achieve their personal goals. Allowing those concentrations to then seep into our democratic system is fundamentally corrosive.

> Are you also supporting this position, that government can suppress your speech if any at any point corporate funds are used?

No. I'm not obliged to defend whatever argument the USG's lawyers presented during the particulars of the CU case.
It appears that the CppFront work has been in progress since 2015-2016, which would make it predate Carbon by a few years.
Well, I know my political opinion is that you should check out my new product, and I'm going to express this political opinion a lot. If necessary I'll include a sentence about a US President.

I'm half serious here. I would love to tell people about a new game I have on Steam (let's say), so I code a WebDriver "tool". It searches out gaming related Tweets and then expresses my political opinion. I have to press enter once for each post it makes. It's not a bot, since it only responds to user input from a genuine Texan. I even do a captcha by hand every once in a while.

I guess it goes back to your excellent quote, nobody know what compliance with this law looks like.
COVID measures made WeChat a must have for anyone except toddlers, since you need to show your green COVID qr code to enter public spaces, and almost any Chinese had done one if not daily obligatory mass testing, in which various WeChat applets are required.

You can live perfectly fine without it before, buy you simply can't legally live in China without a working, updated and ready-to-open WeChat now, since last year.

The CCP also did their whole national census on a WeChat applet, it's the defacto governing tool.
> weChat mini apps

I always said that Facebook can innovate in different ways:

1. use their already existing social graph to produce OTHER apps that are useful

2. use their tool with a new social graph

Number 2 has been done once I believe. It's called workplace. Number 1 is what Wechat is doing on steroids, and Facebook has done almost none of that. It's insane that they're not taking advantage of this and are just adding noise to the useful tool that facebook used to be.

It's certainly technically possible to build a site with moderation like that. It might be preferable for many consumers. There's no obligation that all forums must work that way.

Technically correct, the democrats were in power a few weeks before Sen. Kennedy, the vote that gave dems a supermajority, got brain cancer and thus dems no longer had a supermajority. I believe they were in power a total of 11 legislative days.

So technically yes, I guess we can blame the Dems for not fixing healthcare in 11 days.

Great song (albeit sort-of not written by them, fits the band perfectly though). Lucky enough to see NMA live a couple of times pre-lockdown, no option but to settle for the live stream for the 40th anniversary.
It’s not worth trying to convince such people, the chance of success is very low and such discussions tend to get very uncomfortable very fast. Once you’ve established that someone supports authoritarian dictatorship, your engagement should be restricted to telling them such views are unacceptable in the space (if applicable) or correcting errors of fact for any onlookers.

But if you don’t already know the person’s views, it seems unwise to assume that “old person = supports the old regime,” since this will result in you missing opportunities to connect with potential allies.
The difference is that it's easier to make 2 M.2 connectors and a screwpost on a board than it is to add a SoC, power management, and all the other baggage that comes with it.

There is a famous quote from Douglas Adams:

Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things. Apply this list to movies, rock music, word processors and mobile phones to work out how old you are.

These feelings are just the cohort of which we are a part getting older.
For starters, they are not accurately advertising the compensation for the gig. By every sane measure, the money earned is wages less the cost of owning and using the vehicle. They are not so subtlety convincing people to sign on to a terrible deal, because a lot of workers don’t realize how expensive vehicles are.
Now the title is arguably confusing and significantly different from that of the original linked article. It seems unnecessary to mangle the title to that extent, to create a wider difference.

I see, I misunderstood what you were trying to say, because I have never encountered anyone who didn't think the American health care system could be better. Although, I don't doubt that such people exist.

> Your first claim is an opinion rather than a fact.

If you haven't looked it up, why would your claim that this is an opinion be anything other than noise? Find out whether its a fact or not (if you care) and come back and tell us.

> From my OPINION there are more people covered and are benefiting from medicare and medicaid because of those improvements.

This is not a matter for opinion. It's a claim fact that you can choose to verify or not.
Yes very much this. I've worked on two projects in the last year that used metaclasses. Neither needed them in the least and they simply added noise and complication.

In one case I think the author did believe he needed them, or was going to. He didn't, but I think he believed it was the best way to go about the inheritance he was doing.

The other case was exactly what you say. The person wanted to show how advanced their knowledge of Python was. The funny part about the second case (which included every advanced or new Python feature under the sun, including the walrus operator shoehorned in for good measure) the code simply didn't work at all. It ran but was wrong. The author was so busy demoing his advanced knowledge he forgot to make it work. And was unable to debug it in a timely fashion due to his overuse of abstractions and features. So less "advanced" me was brought in to make it work. Which I did.
That seems like a silly distinction. At a broad level, all discussion can be seen as political. And it is natural for events to be dominated by actions from a side for a time, such that it would be natural for more criticisms of a political party over others at any time.

This gets dangerously into the "whataboutisms" of toxic discourse. Especially when they are not presented in at all an even or good faith manner.
In practice they often are rarely implemented as well as you describe and end up with a fun set of problems of both monorepos AND microservices.

You try to handwave this away with "poorly architected is poorly architected" but... I don't think you can say that and say you don't get the backlash in the same sentence.

You describe that as "all those problems go away" but they don't go away for free! Nor do I agree that they're worth the cost of unfamiliar tooling in most cases, anyway.

They only go away if you get the architecture right, and the monorepo does not have inherent architectural guardrails against getting it wrong. That's the big difference between the hype and the reality.

You can easily get independently-deployed services sharing code in ugly tangled ways. Weird weird ugly crap done because service A just isn't ready to upgrade to the new version of library B even though service C needs it for a new feature, instead of just keeping service A on the previous version of a published artifact for longer. Sometimes that sort of thing is billed as a good thing - "force the team to update all their consumers before making breaking changes" - but in practice you get hacks and weird workarounds.

Weird compilation or runtime errors because this team wanted to use a different JVM language in this part than this other team did in that part, and the tooling got super confused.

"Just use bazel from day 1 and make sure separation of concerns is good" and so on and so on - sure, sure, sure. But now we're not talking monorepos, we're talking specific tooling too. And every layer of doing it differently you add is another chance to fuck up.

An agreement between a worker and a company does not absolve either of their legal responsibilities. Structures made to evade or abuse the letter of the law while violating the spirit are what we're seeing cracked down on here. So that's what's happening legally.

Morally, there are a few issues:

1) Workers are coerced into working because they need money to live. When it's between a life of despair and working for a shitty employer, workers will choose the latter. Laws are meant to prevent abuse in this situation.

2) The information disparity between the two parties means workers cannot make informed decisions, making them abuse their cars and insurance for less profit than expected.

3) The company can still abuse employees, for example by unfairly controlling rideshare rates, refusing to give them things they are supposed to get as employees (the nature of that relationship being defined by the state for the protection of the people).
I don't understand the parallel between working for uber and indentured servitude?
Current law doesn’t have machinery to represent this idea, so it makes sense their arguments won’t match.

But at the core of all the arguments this is the idea that’s trying to be settled.

And really it’s more complicated than all that because it boils down to the algorithm deciding who to show the posts too.

An unbiased algorithm is impossible.

Show all political messages to all people, now you’ve just incentivized politicians to have multiple people full time jobs be to produce more messages.
square rigged vessels cannot make way upwind; they are limited to approximately 60 degrees either side of the wind, and would have terrible sailing characteristics in this position that would push them downwind to the level that they could probably not travel a true course within even 90 degrees of the wind.

lateen (think dhow) sails were around from about 200 bc but only became widespread later. They are more efficient efficient upwind and permit a boat to point close enough to the wind to move a meaningful distance "upwind"
Man, the negative sentiment on this site towards C++ is pretty alien to me.

C++ is (I'm guessing) currently holding up an order of magnitude more applications than whatever you think is better than it. Clearly it has upsides, so it's baffling to me when people greet attempts to reduce the downsides with either "This doesn't make sense, just scrap it for something else" or endless nitpicks about the approach chosen.

A smart guy has decided to put his time towards improving a hugely influential language. That seems like an uncontroversial positive to me, and I welcome any useful results.
Lifeboats in particular were probably the wrong fix, not because of Eastland, which was just an unsafe ship and would doubtless have found some other excuse to kill everybody, but because lifeboat maintenance and testing causes injuries and occasionally deaths, while in the modern era the need to evacuate passengers to lifeboats grows smaller.

I think MAIB (the Marine [edited: this said Maritime but that's wrong] Accident Investigation Branch, a UK government agency) wrote a report about this at one point. In coastal waters particularly the ship's master is realistically never going to encounter a situation where abandoning to lifeboats is the right choice. Fire is the most likely reason to consider it, but modern vessels should be able to contain plausible fires well enough to reach safety, even if as a result the ship is damaged beyond economic repair. Just loading the passengers into lifeboats and putting the lifeboats into the sea is a pretty fraught endeavour, you will probably injure either a passenger or crew member doing it - and that's before any risk from being in a tiny boat out at sea.
