I agree that he put far too much effort into bipartisanship but I do think some of that showed how successful all of the attacks on him as some kind of radical extremist were. He felt, probably not incorrectly, that there were a fairly large number of people who were willing to give him a chance but would potentially turn on him if he pushed quickly enough that the “radical black activist” attacks started to get traction.

Contrast with Joe Biden, who is an old white guy with working class roots and half a century in politics with a solid, non-threatening track record. There’s almost nothing he could do which will get that many people to be like “I thought I knew him but not this”.

Ah the "expert fallacy." No, there are very few "experts." Mostly just career deep-staters or unelected-bureaucrats or whatever else you want to call them. Just look at the great results we've gotten so far from the "fleet of drug experts."
Yes, it is for trivial conversations. I could give you few more examples, technical book - you would say "ah, and it isn't for translating technical books", and so on.

And this is the reason why I'm not buying "the end of classical Computer Science". AI doesn't work with text very well (reference to your comment "Machine translation works pretty well" - no, it isn't), and often can't even translate/recognize conversations. For example, auto-generated YouTube CCs often suck.
Are we seeing the same article?

The only things above the fold on the article I see (in a full screen browser winder), are the title, a giant headline that "Study links high-THC marijuana to mental health issues" in a video player, and the same headline immediately below the video player.

Scrolling down the next thing I see is two paragraphs of un-emphasized and dry text describing the announcement, followed by "DEMOCRATIC SENATORS HIT BIDEN FOR 'EXTRAORDINARILY DISAPPOINTING' STANCE ON MARIJUANA" in all caps, highlighted, and underlined (as a link).

After that we have a picture of Biden, and four more paragraphs of text (as above). We round off with a video with the headline ""RAINBOW FENTANYL" WARNINGS OF AHEAD OF HALLOWEEN".

Edit: And finally the main body of the article closes with advertisement for their app, saying this is similar to steps taken by new york, and acknowledging AP. Just to be complete.

I think the context which fox puts this announcement in... really speaks for itself.
There is no difference, because you don't know how many other guns were 3D printed or milled for this buyback scheme that now won't be traded in. Maybe there will be an increase in ghost guns caused by the policy and its subsequent change.
Not really true. This action amounts to Biden doing something about state-level charges as well. He explicitly encouraged states to follow suit. He also announced that he's reviewing the absurd Schedule 1 designation for marijuana, which is also a huge deal. And today's action moves us a lot closer to real national legalization.
- "So some people are upset that this happening in an election season, even though they support it?"

If it were a sincere and principled choice, he would have done it in his first week in office. Like Carter with his Vietnam pardons in January 1977.

It's difficult not to become cynical about electoral politics today, when politicians have become so transparently cynical about your vote.

> I love Linux systems. My daily driver ... runs Ubuntu... But despite the fact that it's 2022, I still have to spend at least a few hours every month fixing things.

Perhaps in some crazy way, because this has his own set of pros and cons, I'm seriously considering evaluating ChromeOS as my daily driver. Fixing things should be a thing of the past here, and I'll still have a full Linux virtual machine running inside of it to work outside of ChromeOS's limitations.
At least 2 opposing forms of self-deception are both true and a risk to try to do your best to watch out for:

"I'm not a classical style developer and that's fine because because programming is over."

"I'm a classical style developer and I'm safe because AI can never do this."

At the moment, either might be true and either might be false, and both might be merely some percent true and false at the same time.

The only real mistake is probably jumping to either assumption at this time.

Well I'm sure an argument can be made about fence sitting too so whatever.

You seem to acknowledge that you currently can configure the device in the manner described while simultaneously being extremely aggressive. A conversation I had with PA support gives me the impression that PA didn't have 'Forward Untrust' when they first started back-dooring TLS i.e., the PA support person did not counter my point of negative security implications of their MiM back-door for invalid certificates encountered externally. This conversation was something of an on-site debate between PA reps and a few of our tech staff. PA pushing for spying on users and tech staff trying to come up with technical reasons why it was a bad idea (management already loved the idea of spying on the users, so no appeal to decency was going to work. Management arranged the debate without telling staff it would happen until the last minute while it was planned ahead with PA for weeks; IT staff at that college were good people who had a history of advocating for user privacy).

Having PA MiM TLS connections is the organization back-dooring itself as well as the external sites the users connect to. This back-door is available for abuse by IT staff, management and/or an attacker(internal or external).

There is a rule that seems to eventually always be proven-- if you provide infrastructure that can enable abuse, eventually it will be abused. Even if you and everyone else involved in the decision at your organization have good intentions, your future coworkers / management may not. Presumably the FBI and NSA have more thorough back ground checks of their employees than the average employer, and both have had employees abuse their access to surveillance data to e.g., stalk ex-girlfriends. And, even if the employee isn't rogue themselves, when the order comes from above, many will obey immoral/illegal orders-- e.g., Ronald Reagan, as president, had the FBI spy on his daughter's boyfriend. The safest option is to not to install the back-door in the first place.

PA's ability to tie Internet activity to specific users' identities was central to their sales pitch-- our tech staff assumed this was targeted at windows shops, but we used non-MS stuff including our LDAP servers and hoped this could kill the surveillance project-- PA countered that they could, at a last resort, do things like e.g., scrape radius logs to associate identities.

PA appears to be a competently run company that probably knows what messages are most effective at selling their product, and they really pushed user surveillance. Therefore, I suspect that many organizations who purchased PA products based that decision on the user surveillance capabilities (explicitly to enable abuse by management).

PAs main feature seems analogous to an illegal phone wire tap, and IMO should be illegal (especially without notification to the victims-- both on-site and off-site). It is curious how corporate circumvention of encrypted communications without permission of the external site hasn't been seen as a CFAA violation while a simple 'view source' on a browser can result in SWAT pointing a gun at your child.
It shocks me how many people link articles they don’t even read.

Yes, that's why it takes effort to learn how to properly create abstractions that solve more problems than they cause.
>whereas the moderates will score their candidates, say, 7 or 8 and score the ones they don't like 3 or 4

Indeed, you should use whole available range. But there's still incentive to differentiate more than max/min, because otherwise you don't get any influence to choose between other candidates. For example with candidates: A-best, B-lesser evil, C-evil; instead of scoring max/0/0 it would be more reasonable to vote max/something/0. Voting system cannot give you result reflecting your preferences if you don't provide them!

Maybe another way to look at this: there's only so much influence single ballot has, and you can spend it to either push A above B/C, or A/B above C. It's a tradeoff, but score voting allows you to dial in the ratio you want. Falling back to approval is strictly less expressive.

> All set -e does is halt further execution of your script if any line exits above 0.

This is the expectation, and the article is about why it's not that simple.
If that matters to you, then yes that's a limitation. However, big qr codes are easier to scan. Making them smaller requires higher resolution scanning devices and more careful aiming of the device. So, it's not necessarily that big of a deal. The alignment marks are scaled along with the qr code. So, they don't use more space for smaller codes. The shape limitation is more of an esthetic thing. I don't think people care that much.
You don't have to be hyper-aware of false positives with "set -euo pipefail". False positives bring themselves to your attention during testing, while false negatives don't announce themselves at all. It's almost always preferable for your code to incorrectly fail and force you to stick "|| true" on the end, than to incorrectly succeed and let you miss the bug.
The `let ++` example is pretty damning. I find Bash to be a poor and outdated shell that we’re stuck with for now. Its design is the best argument against LSD I know, it came out of the hippie drug days, and Bash reflects that with its madness.

One of the reasons chemical weapons were banned was because they were ineffective, and had the unfortunate tendency to blow the wrong way over the lines.

Bioweapons are also just as likely to kill your own side.
I agree. Yet this attitude - not finishing things - could become a bad habit. All in all Im happy to learn even from half finished things which in my opinion is the primary goal.
I still think that is poor form.
This particular problem is easily solved with PERT charts [1] since making a baby is an atomic (blocking) task with time estimates ranging from 23 to 40 weeks.
It can be combined with evidence-based scheduling[2] to collect historical data and then run Monte Carlo simulations.

Of course, this is only useful at the initial stage of a new greenfield project. For me, the more useful part is the dependency graph between tasks (actually mini-projects). Estimates are for managers. And even then they can be multiplied by 3 and still be wrong - i.e. it's guesstimation.

For general feature delivery work, a Shape Up[3] appetite (the amount of time we want to spend on a project, not an estimate) will work better. This is a fixed time budget - a variable scope.

Couple of woke, social sciencies grads deciding on the truthiness of Dr. McCullough's tweets. Nothing to see here, move along.

He'll be back once Elon overhauls that miserable organization.
I'd agree. Also, "architects" have also been rebranded as "staff" or "principal" engineers at some companies. (The cynical view is this because nobody architects a system with "agile", they just do what works for now and fix it in the next sprint.)
Except your argument doesn't hold water. Biden isn't "in trouble"; his approval rating has actually been steadily rising of late, and this policy change reportedly took some time to work on.

You also really need to do some homework on the US House and the degree to which gerrymandering has made it completely impossible for your dreams of "appeals to voters" to work.

For the same reasons any other substance is regulated, because it can affect other people, see e.g. https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/newsroom/feature/marijuana-and-dri....

No, the reason why Roe vs Wade is gone is because of a focused, well-funded mobilization campaign in legal interpretation, legal scholarship, and funding of judge careers in order to turn the judicial system into a tool for subverting popular progressive sentiment.

Drive to a super charger once a week, charge it up and use it for the rest of the week. Not that big of a deal. Maybe plug it in at the store, at work, etc. or whenever you have a chance. Mostly it will be much cheaper and not that much more hassle. Get something like an Aptera (which has solar panels) and you might only have to do this every few months. Plenty of solutions here.

The need to spend tens/hundreds of dollars per month on gas, is going to long term not be defensible for the vast majority of people.
I mean the added complexity of STAR compared to score. It irks me that it basically adds second election using different system, that happens to sneakily reuse the same ballot.
Do you really think it’s because of the software or because of the product? I bet no one has said that if only Twitters software was better it would gain more customers and advertisers.

All indications are that Twitters architecture is now top notch. There are entire sections of “Designing Data Intensive Applications” (the Bible for system design interviews) about Twitters current architecture.

I struggle to find people who properly scale statistical models up from “a handful” to “hundreds”. It always seems to catch people by surprise when they end up spending time every week or two dealing with failures instead of a couple a year. Odds multiply, and .99^100 is a lot smaller than your brain thinks it is.
Probably, can't say I am an expert. For bouillon which presumptively[0] has a very high boiling point due to the high concentration of salts even with vacuum a pot-style distillation would probably[0] be fairly slow. A falling film evaporator would likely work well, but there doesn't appear[0] to be room in the container for one.

Going all the way to solid bouillon a spray-dryer would make sense, and would fit. Solids handling is usually a pita though.

Annoyingly, when a process is terminated by an unhandled signal (say, SIGTERM), it is treated as if it exited with a nonzero exit code. This can make it tricky to use non-builtin commands as conditions in "if" statements, since there's always the potential edge case where the "if" block is skipped because of a signal that the condition received.

Spoiler alert: most of the 2.7 million developers in the US aren’t “solving hard problems”. I interact with the people who are writing the services for the largest cloud provider. When I meet them for lunch, they are seldomly talking about work.

For awhile, I was working with the service teams involved with the various AI services trying to publish an open source demo around their services. When we left for lunch we were talking about travel, cars, our families, places to eat, etc.
A lot of the sins of shell are from it's primary role as an interactive interface to the computer. it's use as a scripting language was a nice secondary goal.

On the one hand it is nice to have your interactive interface and your scripts be the same language. on the other it is a bit horrifying the way all those convenient interactive features make your programs so prone to failure.
Given Google's severe corporate ADHD, who's willing to bet that Google will still be making watches or tablets in 5 years? Why would any third party develop apps for these platforms, given Google's record?
You make it sound like it is a bad thing when in fact it’s just the current perception in our modern super productivity culture. I sometimes wonder what would the world cultural heritage look like without the contribution of various people who we’d now pathologise with ADHD.
Good list. Reminds me of the plot from The Foundation book where Hari Seldon wants to build a library of all the knowledge that can help build a civilization from scratch.
That estimate is contested by many people including the scientists who did the work it was based on.

But it's more than enough to make my point. The hypervigilance around nuclear is the only thing stopping monthly chernobyls, as evidenced by the sheer malice and incompetence exhibited in every nexus of power and danger we are not that hypervigilant about. Bringing up the opioid epidemic makes that point pretty clearly.

It's like arguing that dimethyl mercury is perfectly safe and should be used to fuel passenger liners in spite of costing many times as much and requiring you to bring your exhaust with you because the one time someone tried to use it as a rocket fuel someone with sense told them to go f themselves and to never call the chemistry lab where it was made again.

Keffals is pissed at the Kiwifarms for airing out all their dirty laundry that, so far, mainstream media has completely ignored, and only paint them as some innocent victim that didn't deserve anything they got.

Engineers are also in meetings.

I guess the reality is that nobody – no matter if PMs, designers, engineers or anyone – wants to sit in a weird virtual environment, if instead they could just quickly join a zoom meeting. Who wants to put on a headset and stare at a dead-eyed avatar if you could just turn on your webcam.

I think discrete pipelines is the wrong paradigm. I surmise what is happening is the incoming information is being changed to the frequency domain for much the same reason that many visual and audio filters are implemented in the frequency domain. It's just a convenient basis for signal processing. It also so happens that compression codecs work largely by also converting to frequency space and then throwing out all the terms with negligible amplitude. So obviously when you poke at the part of the brain that does visual signal processing, you get something that looks a lot like a Photoshop filter or a compression artifact.
