A key part is that, while the GDPR undoubtedly is a good piece of law, it got introduced without a public debate on how the Internet should actually work and be funded.

Basically, GDPR kneecapped the entire business model of everyone but Wikipedia, and almost no thought was spared on how to replace that and make the Internet a better place for everyone.

> The company's Starliner spacecraft is also an important contract, but it doesn't look like a long-term moneymaker for the company. To fulfill its Space Station crew needs for the remainder of this decade, NASA recently decided that it would purchase a significant majority of crew flights from SpaceX rather than Boeing. This was likely due to price considerations and the operational readiness of Crew Dragon.

Given the recent details about how much they’re losing on star liner, I wonder if there’s any chance they will cancel it?

Either English is not your first language, or you are just playing stupid games to avoid answering. or maybe both.

It's even further than this: That 100% of all members or sub-factions of 100% of civilisations choose to do this (or that 100% of civilisations force all their members to do so even if they don't want it, and that that scenario doesn't escalate into a war that decimates a million worlds and all-but exhausts the resources of a galaxy).

Well, you turned "general societal attitudes" in to "appease the mob", which is a very different thing.

In 1986 the SCOTUS rules that consensual homosexual sex in private could be banned (Bowers v. Hardwick). Such a ruling would be almost unthinkable today, and was already overturned in 2003 (Lawrence v. Texas). All the arguments used in 1986 and 2003 could still be used today because the constitution hasn't changed, but what is and isn't societally acceptable on this front very much has.

I'm not talking about whatever was in the papers this week, or the opinion polls this year, or whatever Biden or Trump or whomever said last week, I'm talking about broad and general shifts in attitudes that take place over years and decades.

That assumes that they are actually convicted and put in jail. The DA doesn’t believe that putting people in jail is effective at reducing crime, and so just doesn’t.

Large adtech companies are coalescing and supporting a single browser framework that gives them a modicum of control around how adblockers are integrated into the extensions, while also funding directly or indirectly realistic browser competition through Firefox (sorry Brave and Vivaldi... still a ways to go market share-wise). The economist in me thinks there is formal and informal coordination to make this ad "market" exist (no one wants ads, really, they want search engines with relevant results) and there is exercise in market power to the detriment of businesses purchasing advertising (and waste to society writ large).

This is the kind of analysis paralysis that gets us nowhere. More law enforcement, even at the lowest levels, acts as a deterrent to further crime. The problem is when we do nothing then people feel like they can get away with anything.

> I believe they want you to explicitly define how you want you compare strings.

If that were true, they wouldn't have made strings comparable in the first place, and they wouldn't recommend that callers inline the implementation (they'd recommend calling some locale-dependent function instead).

An explicit comparison like "naïve" == "naïve" or "naïve" < "naïve" isn't any more clear about how the comparison is performed than Compare("naïve", "naïve") would be.

The other problem is the low bar to get a script. If someone had to see a psychiatrist then be put on a drug like guanfacine for several months before they were put in a controlled substance, many (including those with ADD) would fallout.

> Hands down, shell scripting is one of my all time favorite languages. It gets tons of hate, e.g. "If you have to write more than 10 lines, then use a real language," but I feel like those assertions are more socially-founded opinions than technically-backed arguments.

It is "opinion" based on debugging scripts made by people (which might be "you but few years ago") that don't know the full extent of death-traps that are put in the language. Or really writing anything more complex.

About only strong side of shell as a language is a pipe character. Everything else is less convenient at best, actively dangerous at worst.

Sure, "how to write something in a limited language" might be fun mental excercise but as someone sitting in ops space for good part of 15 years, it's just a burden.

Hell, I'd rather debug Perl script than Bash one...

Yeah, if it is few pipes and some minor post processing I'd use it too (pipe is the easiest way to do it out of all languages I've seen) but that's about it.

It is nice to write one-liners in cmdline but characteristic that make it nice there make it worse programming language. A bit like Perl in that matter
I’m working at Makeswift, and this could be exactly what you’re looking for. Basically, Makeswift is a visual builder for Next.js. It’s a drag-and-drop website builder, similar to Webflow, but you can easily extend it by using a custom React component.

So if your team is already using React or Next.js, you can reuse the same components you already have and use them in Makeswift to build custom-coded pages.

I see MMO's relying on browsers, because the web model and the subscription model align nicely. We had browser based (probably still do) text based "MMO's" that relied on the browser, and there's no reason that something like World of Warcraft or Second Life couldn't run in the browser fairly easily today.
> weak security

I think security is important, but unless you're going up against a state actor with physical access, I think this isn't a credible threat at this time.
For simple scripting tasks, yes. I have had the opposite experience for more critical software engineering tasks (as in, coding integrated over time and people).

Language aside, the ecosystem and culture do not afford enough in way of testing, dependency management, feature flags, static analysis, legibility, and so on. The reason people say to keep shell programs short is because of these problems, it needs to be possible to rewrite shell programs on a whim. At least then, you can A/B test and deploy at that scope.

Aren't there a lot of sorts of things that are just impossible or difficult to do in rust, like GUI, or need to be entirely rewritten in rust?

Rust can be interfaced with C, but I don't see if you can really benefit from rust safety since it can interact with unsafe languages.

It's still better than not, but if the problem is safety, mixing languages might not be easy.

That might not be correct. You don't see military captains intercepting pigeons, in the chance that they contain messages.

Though who knows. checking for radio frequencies might be a part of fundamental tests to any space faring surveillance systems.
I can relate to having it beaten out of you. There were definitely many years after school where I'd learnt to suppress and hide my geeky interests. There's no way, for example, I would have been visibly excited when a train went past. More recently I've stopped suppressing it, though. Now as a 36 year old man I will run to be able to see a train go past if I want to. It helps that I now have friends and a girlfriend who are just like me. It turns out if you find the right people these are attractive qualities.

Meanwhile, Ireland manages to amend its constitution regularly [1] without exploding.

I _very much disagree_ with the assertion that the US constitution's rigidity is its greatest strength. Similar to taking on too much technical debt, this rigidity makes it impossible to update in response to changing circumstances! I'm not convinced that's ever a good thing; what good reason is there to believe that a constitution conceived over 200 years ago (when the US had roughly 1% the people, ~1/3 the land, legal slavery, an early-industrial / agrarian economy, etc., etc., etc.) is useful today?

Even if we agree that "free speech" and "free association" are reasonable universal rights (and I think we do), what these concepts mean in practice must necessarily evolve as technology gives us new ways of speaking and associating - and we will _always_ have to deal with the difficult question of what to do when someone, through exercising these rights, deprives others (intentionally or unintentionally) of the ability to exercise theirs. This balance necessarily changes as our methods of exercising free speech and association change.

Overall, I'd argue that this rigidity - in the constitution, in the calcified two-party system, in US politics / political systems in general - maybe started out as a unique strength, but is _very much_ a weakness in more complex and rapidly changing times.

> Variation in the length of the synodic day is the reason a day may contain other than 86400 seconds.

Indeed; so when the second was defined by a fraction of a day, that day was an abstraction which approximates any given synodic day. I take your point that the author's quoted statement was incorrect, as the synodic day is a function of the earth's orbital period as well as its rotational one.

I also take your point that we don't care about a specific transition of a cesium atom per se, but I am not so sure that any more than a rather small fraction of the population care that a second is 86400 of what was an average day at some point in time (even though it is is a good approximation for today's days.) What fraction, I wonder, have ever performed a calculation on seconds using that number, other than, perhaps, for pedagogical purposes? Other than that, is it not just a convenient short interval where its constancy (a property that cesium delivers better than does the Earth's motions) is paramount? One might point out that such calculations are frequently done on their behalf, but from that perspective, the recent large increase in the use of GPS, with its heavy computational demand that is dependent on the constancy of atomic clocks, should equally be taken into account.

Sorry to be a stickler, but not really.

The citation indexed [40] (that is, the relevant portion) in your quote points to the Register article you also linked, just as the Wikipedia entry does in support of the statement:

"Unlike SA-00075, this bug is even present if AMT is absent, not provisioned or if the ME was "disabled" by any of the known unofficial methods."

That being the case I would expect the Register article to contain something that bolsters the quote above but if it does, it is so subtle as to escape my repeated rereading.
got a source for calling me (or that) delusional?
On my last 3-day business trip to San Francisco I stepped over multiple unconscious bodies on the sidewalk daily to get from my hotel to my office, walked into a pharmacy that had had shelves cleaned out minutes earlier, and saw a ton of cars with signs asking to not be robbed because no valuables were kept in the car. The backdrop was signs extolling the success of the city in social justice. Such a stark contrast between the city's obvious problems and some alternate reality it lives in.

Edit: oh, and I accidentally stepped on (and broke) a crack pipe on the sidewalk and had to run from the angry person it belonged to. Remind me to refuse to accept another business trip there.

I get that under the hood, a library like eigen has loads of tricks and optimizations to make vector and matrix operations maximally efficient on modern CPUs.

But the comment was specifically about the interface to those operations, that it's convenient and non-harmful ("cute") to have an infix operator just work, because no one would expect that multiplying vectors is going to secretly be a function call that could block or throw or have other unknown side effects the way something like using "stream insertion" on a logger object might. Or have an uncertain effect, like defining operator+ for just one of the multiple possible schemes by which two dicts may be combined.
