> If you cannot say certain things easily, then write a function to factor the common stuff in a layer that you can then build upon. This is the basics of programming, and from what I've seen this is already where it fails in most real-world codebases.

This presupposes that the language even has facilities to enable appropriate abstractions! You can't argue that languages don't matter without reckoning with these real world matters. Yes, sure, I can just "abstract it away", yes, sure, "all languages are Turing complete so equivalent".... but no, that's not the whole story at all.

> The same step up will be hard to repeat, since functions and structs are so expressive already, it's rare to find a problem that can't be elegantly solved using them.

Expressive types are that next step up.

POSIX is the part of the C standard library in UNIX, that should have been part of ISO C as well.

It wasn't, so any C application that is more than a toy hello world with stdio, pings back into POSIX for any kind of meaningful work, that wants to stay cross platform.

Basically it the the C runtime library, that wasn't part of ISO.

I use JVM, .NET, Web and C++, not caring if the runtimes are bare metal or running on top of an OS, type 1 hypervisor, or whatever.
"Essentially" is load-bearing there. You can compute the statistics to determine what number sets are more suspicious.

€5.83/month seems to me quite too much for an email app. Airmail for example comes at €9.99/year.
If you are using their services for something important you should pay for it. I use fastmail not gmail for this reason: email is too important for me to risk on an account I don't pay for. I don't pay for youtube, because I don't care if they go out of business. I probably would pay for facebook if possible (but only if they make it FACEbook - not political memes, offensive jokes, and cat pictures) as it is a good way to keep in touch with distant friends.
This could be a somewhat ironic example considering the likelihood that many people who could have contributed to the Manhattan Project were unable to do so due to institutional barriers relating to their ethnicity.

Even some talented people who did work for the Project got life-altering roadblocks later on such as Qian Xuesen.
Sure, I’ll just politely roll over rather than use the legal system. I don’t need to put food on my table anyway, it’s just a luxury, I have infinite time and money available to go learn to do something that pays more and makes me absolutely miserable. I’m not already constantly fighting the way all the social media sites have stolen the ability to serve ads alongside my work by building systems that suppress any post with an outgoing link, as well as posts with words like “commission” or “Patreon”. I can just bend over and take it a little harder when all these image generators based on megacorps scraping the entire internet for a use nobody thought of when defining “free use” make it harder for me to earn a living, and more importantly when they make it a lot harder for a beginner artist to get to that happy place where they get to spend the majority of their workday drawing, and enjoying the feedback loop of getting a little better and faster at drawing a thing every time they do it.

Burn it all down.
It should probably be signal boosted that when you are under a discovery documentation hold, the fact that services like Signal have auto-deletion as a feature do not protect those documents from Discovery and actively work against the user's best interests.

This is the problem. They are not giving any reasons other than a 'TOS' violation and won't tell you why or ignore you if you try appealing it. The same happened to someone on Twitter and the very same thing happened to those on PayPal.

To answer my question the answer is no, this is about concurrent requests, so it's 2 at once but it will do upto 500 for each as many times as it needs to, to upload a 20GB file.
Depends on how they treat Hispanic folks. If I understand your numbers correctly, they're folded into the White percentage. If, however, Berkeley separates them out it's not quite a direct comparison which affects your argument.

And if they're trying to balance the campus population to reflect California, it's likely that they have to have different percentages in the acceptances. Not everybody comes to Berkeley, and true minority folks with the chops for Berkeley are in demand - different places might give them a better/cheaper offer or they're right coast people, etc. Depopulating the non-White from acceptance goes against the balance-the-campus attempt.

Besides, if you're truly White-centric, why go to Berkeley. Based on decades of stereotypes, you won't be happy in that environment. Unless you're just setting up a straw man or a lawsuit.
Erlang might be slightly more obscure, but there are plenty of big household names using the language - Klarna, Bet365, and William Hill are all household names. And that's excluding the obvious cases of Ericsson or WhatsApp.
Use a wildcard certificate with a DNS challenge.

Personally, I have 1 publicly facing server on my network, and I've loaded my wildcard certificate into HAProxy that terminates HTTPS and forwards the request to the appropriate backend server (usually based on subdomain). Of course, I back up the configs, scripts, etc., so restoring and re-creating this setup isn't complicated.

In how many of the US's armed conflicts was war declared? To the best of my recollection, the US never declared war against any Indian tribes, but spent more than a hundred years periodically fighting against them. Then there were overseas engagements. I have never heard the fighting in Korea called anything but "the Korean War", but at the time the US line was that it was "a police action". The US had a lot of troops in Vietnam and dropped plenty of bombs on the north, without ever declaring war.
Imagine if there was a meteor shield the company could buy for £250. If they didn't buy it, is your life worth less than £250 to them?

You have to divide the cost by the likelihood of a life being saved to find the proxy figure for what that's worth. If there's a 1% chance that an AED will save a life during its useful lifespan, that suggests that they're valuing the life at less than £110000 (assuming a company would be inclined to buy new and that there are no required inspections along the lifespan of the AED).

I think the actual likelihood that any individual AED located in a company's workplace will save a life is much less than 1%.
It'll only get that bad if we're lucky.

Something has to be done to convince the average user that Twitter is not their friend, is not a reliable source of information, and is not a good place to share your intimate thoughts because they're sitting out on a public forum for everyone to see.

> Security Updates

> The component updater, responsible for delivering out-of-band security updates to the various components of the browser, is disabled within ungoogled-chromium. It’s responsible for updating Chrome’s CRLSets, which are necessary for meaningful certificate revocation. Most of the components are delivered via the component updater because they have a need for out-of-band security updates, and it’s not helpful nor necessary to disable them.

> Furthermore, the extensions that users rely on aren’t updated automatically, posing an additional risk to users of the browser.

Not connecting to google services unles you explicitly request it is almost the entire point of ungoogled-chromium, so this is really misplaced criticism. Especially for the CRLs, giving Google the power to take third party websites offline is not something everyone agrees with.

The missing hardening is also not something to be summed up as "significant security regressions". Ironically it might even improve your security if it means that attacks depending on Chromes upstream toolchain configuration won't work - no one is realistically going to specifically target a niche project like ungoogled-chromium.
> Isn't this illegal?

It's actually a very tricky question. If the bonuses, perks, etc. for everyone are lowered, such that those at the low end cross the threshold of wanting to leave, then it's probably legal. If people at that low end are singled out for poor treatment, then it might be "constructive dismissal" and thus illegal in most jurisdictions. Facebook is probably treading as close to that line as they can, or (even more likely) stepping just a bit over and relying on lawyers to keep it from becoming too expensive. This is the barrier that class-action suits are meant to overcome, BTW.
>closed firmware seems not nearly as bad for libre/open software as closed drivers

If I take my highly complex, proprietary driver, put it in a little ARM chip in my device, and provide a dumb and simple driver that interfaces with that chip instead, is anything won? Sure, the proprietary code is out of sight and out of mind, but it's still there and you still can't modify and improve it.
Interesting. Who will the occupying powers be?
I'm glad he brought up accessibility. My company has been working on a remote desktop product [1] that addresses this issue, particularly for blind users. The connection carries audio output from the remote machine, and the keyboard input handling code on both sides is designed to work with the quirks of screen readers, so running a screen reader on the remote machine works well. Beyond that, if the remote machine isn't running a screen reader, there's a way to get speech output on the controlling machine using the open-source NVDA screen reader for Windows, without requiring audio output on the remote machine. We still need to work on Braille output and screen magnification, and we've only started thinking about alternate input methods, so this doesn't cover everything, but the problems are solvable.

Yeah, great for Twitter shareholders, awful for Twitter itself, Twitter users and Twitter employees is about the size of it.
Even better. If you teach them basic statistics first, you can teach calculus later and they won't have to wonder why. Just tell them they need calculus to make statistics easier.

That's what my physics teacher did. Whenever he had to explain something basic about Newtonian mechanics he would say "this would be much easier to explain if you knew calculus already".

I'm sure this was intended sarcastically. On the surface it would seem that wearing a mask alone in a car isn't going to help you at all, and while you're alone in your car it doesn't but there are scientific reasons it could have been logical to do so.
Once you've used your mask you're supposed to throw it away, because there is potentially virus on the outside of it. You are even supposed avoid touching the outside of the mask when you take it off.
The other reason that comes to mind is, it could just help the remember to have it on when they go from place to place.

I think you're mixing up different things. You're correct that teams "blue" and "red" are actually coalitions of people who believe quite different things. But in part that's because of geographic and cultural commonalities that cut across party lines. Both Oregon Democrats and Oregon Republicans skew libertarian, because the state does. In Georgia, both Democrats and Republicans skew more religious.

A lot of the intractability of our national politics is because geographical and cultural differences are overlaid on top of normal political differences. Splitting the country up along geographic lines would allow us to just fight over politics, instead of over deep-rooted cultural patterns.

Once you start covering land that isn't a complete desert with solar panels you start competing with photosynthesizing organisms, even more-so with oceans. I don't think anyone expects fusion to be viable within a decade or two. Beyond that I don't know but I absolutely think it's worth funding.
Okay, so this means it's not relevant to you which is... an interesting take. I guess you better operate your business in at-will employment legal landscape (and not feel bad for your employees' families after you fire them left and right this way).

For me I would definitely make use of this extra information before hiring. Hiring a carpenter who's able to work with power tools is likely better, unless I need to foresee a situation where they must work without electricity. Even if they are physically fit, power tools can enable a human to do something not possible at all with bare hands.

For a programmer it's the reverse, if we assume "power tool" is an "easy" language compared to something like OCaml, or maybe tools like VS Code and Copilot compared to vim. These tools don't help overcome a physical limitation, like the power tools of a carpenter, but a mental one. Being able to set up vim fully to be as productive and produce as few bugs as someone with VS Code, or being able to pick up Haskell without being able to immediately get a human answer your every question, exemplifies the type of higher-level skills and learning capability that is the primary value of a human employee compared to a robot.

In other words, in context of this discussion, the equivalent of carpenter's power tools might be much closer to Haskell + bespoke vim/tmux setup than JavaScript + VSC.
They probably have thousands of contractors who are conveniently left out of the headcount.

> It's just code that runs when the code is compiled, rather than when the resulting binary is run.

That’s exactly what Haxe macros are. It’s regular Haxe code that runs during compile, and it has access to all Haxe language features and the standard library.

The only special thing about them is that they can directly manipulate the AST before it gets passed on to the compiler for final code generation.

In a sense, they’re like “shaders” for the compiler.
I built a PCI compliance solution for a customer back in 2008 for ~$200k all-in when the closest competitor's bid was five times that. The product was amazing at runtime but of course had some idiosyncrasies in how it was configured and whatnot. I've been a user (only) of Splunk heavily ever since and just last year got pulled into a project to migrate a huge install to a cloud platform. It felt like I got into a time machine...there were seemingly zero administrative or architectural improvements to make the product more manageable or supportable in the 10+ years since I had last looked at it from an ops perspective.

I'm sure that's not 100% true but it felt like it. Trying to build Splunk on top of a modern IaC deployment methodology is a huuuuge lift.
