I hear what you are saying, but I think this comment in conjunction with the parent comment speak to the bigger issue which is how do you make something easy for both IT and the end user? Yes, a solution like this may make it easier for IT to set things up and support their users but I have had the same experience as OP with similar products at companies I’ve worked at. Logging into a system now means I have to find my phone, unlock it, open the app, scan the code, and provide a biometric (or passcode) again. That’s if everything goes smoothly I might be prompted to change my phone’s password if I’m using a company phone with a password change policy, something might happen with a redirect or the app. Now I’m completely out of the zone of what I was working on.

Or I can have SSO or a password manager and be logged-in in less time then it takes me to grab my phone. As an end user I would much prefer the latter.

> In my opinion the unacceptable, repetitive, fundamentalist-led attacks on the very institution of voting itself would take far more precedence than the social issues you listed

How are they attacked? From what I've seen, all the "voter suppression" stories coming from the US are all things we have in place in other modern democracies like in Canada. We have voter ID, we have to make sure we are registered, we can only ask for mail ballots for certain circumstances, voting machines are banned and we have move of the results before midnight.
I worked at a company that mandated this, I’m sure management thought it sounded great but it felt lazy on the part of Product/Management. Is deploying an an engineer to field support tickets really the best use of their time? How about Product and Management field tickets and distill from that what is most impactful for engineering to work on.
Speaking for myself, I'm obsessed with corporate overreach in general. It just so happens that government is the largest and the most well-armed corporation around, so it gets considerable attention as such.
Yep they should also do frontend, backend, dev ops, security, and on-call. Hey why dont we throw in project management and product management while we're at it. And it's not like those UI/UX people do much either, so let's just make the devs do that too. Finally to wrap it all up we'll have like 5 mandatory meetings a week to check in on them.
So I take it you won’t take the other side of the bet, then? Just as I thought.
The Supreme Court didn’t nullify the first clause of the second amendment until 2012. The thought that the right to bear arms was completely unrestricted didn’t exist for the first 200 years of the USA’s existence (including when the people who wrote it were still alive). That the Supreme Court was able to change the meaning of the amendment over time is a clear indication that literal interpretations of it really don’t exist.
That's most of the benefit of putting "Reddit" at the end of a Google search for an esoteric subject. I love when someone has outrageously strong opinions on things I know very little about.
A corollary, which I have discovered with Philosophy, maintaining software, performing large-scale refactoring, etc. and many have discovered before me...

The primitive low-level tech opens the space to what is possible. Improving low level components opens up a large space of possibility that is often inconceivable at the time the improvement is done. The reverse is disimproving low level components restricts the range of possibilities.

This is why we have seen so much churn in the front end & application libraries. More recent programming languages and front end & application libraries have sought to improve the low level apis to improve the development context of complex software.

A more evolved system (e.g. version 3.0) built with worse components is bound by the lack of quality of it's underlying components. So if version 3.0 Constitution is built with disimprovements in version 2.0 or earlier, it could be rendered worse than a version 1.0 built with quality components & quality first principles.

I made similar for location names, municipality names, people names and switched them with ones local data, pulled from their Facebook or manually added.

It was called Local Edition. It did the switch on news articles so the person would feel a personal pain from horrible global news. That bomb didnt drop in Afghanistan and kill 12 bystanders. It dropped on your nearby grocery store and killed 12, including 3 of your friends w/ names and photos.
I spent time at Oxbridge - I was shocked that you couldn’t just walk into a campus. Very tight security. I thought it said something about Americans v Europeans. I guess it still does.

Crime virtually disappeared after Prohibition was passed until the apparition of organized crime.

At the time (and still to this day) alcohol and drugs made and destroyed empires. The Dutch Empire was based on Gin. The British Empire on Opium and Rhum. Russia on Vodka. France had Bourbon.

The original problem was for load balancing, where the protocol is often not known, and backends might be reached over a WAN. There are some neat advantages possible from this method, such as the target application not being woken up early from accept() (etc) by preconnection, and the initiator being able to detect the health of a backend before choosing it as the target of a forwarded connection, but mostly I just thought it was an interesting abuse of an obscure kernel feature.

If you want to do something like what the article is describing with Guile, but without the GPL constraints, you might like s7 Scheme. It's a bit like a cross between Guile and Janet, with CL macros, keywords, and first class environments. I use it for Scheme for Max, an extension to the Max/MSP computer music platform allowing one to script Max in Scheme. It's BSD licensed.

Also, the author Bill is very helpful on the mailing list.

When I was 15 or so I spent a summer taking buses and trains into MIT for their Junction program, Reading and Writing Scifi in my case. Wandering around those halls was terrifying to anxious lil me but it was really just a wonderous experience. Got my first lecture on semiconductor physics there, although I did not very much understand wtaf was going on then.
No. I'm rephrasing the design intent for the language, as outlined in various talks. For example, here: https://go.dev/talks/2012/splash.article
Why did you switch from vim/neovim to emacs?
Not the impression I've got. People come to terms with it - I'm not saying they would be wrong to still be outraged, but the human mind isn't built to keep that up for decades.
Go today has arguably the best dependency handling story: https://go.dev/blog/supply-chain
"the first step towards open hardware isn't really building a RISC-V system, its building competitive NIC's, keyboards, USB controllers, etc, etc, etc with open hardware designs"

Actually it's building the software tools to emulate these, USB is a dense standard, you will have more luck emulating a working USB device first pass before building out the supporting infrastructure.

Once you can emulate/design your open chip computer, then you can start doing test runs/production runs. The market for such a thing will be limited to engineers and tech enthusiasts, at least until some hardware tech startup starts outcompeting the other players on the market.

hmmm arguably capitalism was still required.

Both the USSR and China both went through (at different times!) great famines due to their collectivization of agriculture. Further, their agricultural practices in general were learned from the capitalist countries and neither produced / produce enough. Both the USSR and China did / currently rely heavily on food imports.

Arguably, they only escaped feudalism because capitalistic countries provided enough cheap food to the global market to transition their economies off of mass labor in fields (the basis of feudalism).
> I'm not sure what you mean by "machine intelligence," but there is absolutely no indication that Strong AI can be achieved let alone "pretty clear we're on a path," and compelling argument that it isn't even possible

There is no compelling argument or evidence that machine intelligence is impossible.

Physics tells us that machine intelligence is in fact very possible. All finite volumes contain finite information, per the Bekenstein bound. Therefore a human being can be fully described by finite information. Therefore a human being can be fully simulated by a Turing machine (technically just a finite state automaton).

The only way to escape this conclusion is to assert that humans are special in some way that can't be described by physics. You can believe that, but don't mistake that as "evidence" or a scientific argument that machine intelligence is impossible.

The current state of the art machine learning systems are still a few orders of magnitude away from the synaptic complexity of a human brains. A lot can happen over a few orders of magnitude, and we're closing that gap fast.
The goals are pretty obvious in many sports. Heard of goal posts before?
Why should the rest of the country subsidize your state's more burdensome tax regime? Removal of the SALT deduction just brings the federal tax code a bit closer to neutrality. If you choose to live in a place with high taxes, that's fine, but don't expect everyone else to help subsidize it.
The price is such that 15% is plenty.

When I put up my solar panels, they will be propped up like accordion folds to pick up morning and afternoon light, because they are getting so cheap.
I've had the opposite experience a lot: I give a fancy niche thing, and get confused looks because they don't understand its value. Then again much of my family is terrible at graciously receiving gifts!
Doesn’t WASM provide a graceful and natural end to JavaScript’s hegemony? People can just use whatever language they want in the browser now.
Ehhh I’d side with the parent on this one, given how we thought self-driving cars were gonna be a solved problem by 2015 but how intractable the problem has turned out to be.
It's really useful for small businesses that want to accept credit cards without having to get a full-blown merchant account. If your business is really tiny (like a little side project) and makes less than, say, $100k/year, a merchant account can be too expensive, plus setting up your website for the merchant account is much more difficult than PayPal integration, which is almost trivial (the simplest form is to just add some HTML buttons to your site).

Finally, for the way I like to work, the terminal is often the IDE. One thing I couldn't ever get used to was terminal inside the editor rather terminal being the primary thing. It's why my many attempts at Emacs failed too.

Emacs can run in a terminal too, that's how I have been using it forever inside tmux.

Terminal and /usr/bin/find

I mean, if it works for you, then cool. For me, not getting into hobbies and things for that kind of reason would have been the source of massive regret about my life in hindsight. I have always loved getting really interested in all sorts of things, but it's true that it's important to not have a hobby that consumes you to the extent that it's basically the basis of your whole identity, or having only one thing you talk about so you're "that guy". But most people can be enthusiastic about various things and avoid that.
> It was intentionally setup to protect the minority...

...of the opulent, is the quote.
Is that true? It could transform the energy into useful output, right? For instance, if I get sunlight and put it into photovoltaic and then use that electricity to push an object 1 m and I am forced to radiate that outwards then I have just done work for free?
The thought of using System Preferences (or Settings — I couldn’t tell you the difference, if there is one) to access anything, when Alfred or Spotlight can access it instead, is anathema to me.
Can someone explain how this is "simple" to understand?

type openWeatherMap struct{}
...
var d struct {
Main struct {
Kelvin float64 `json:"temp"`
} `json:"main"`
}

if err := json.NewDecoder(resp.Body).Decode(&d); err != nil {
return 0, err
}

There is a "type" struct at the top, but then another struct without a type later on. Then there's a nested struct, and then backticks with double quotes and json with colons - one with the backticks after float64, and the other after a brace. Then rather than returning the result of the json response with an equal sign, the json decoder line takes in both the response and the output as function parameters! And one of them has an ampersand in front?!

Time and time again Go is said to be a simple language, but can you really say that the Python equivalent of that example is more difficult to understand?

>>> decoded_json = json.load(urllib.request.urlopen('https://httpbin.org/get'))
>>> print(decoded_json)

Come on now.
Bombs are also nukes. And apparently US Navy reactor engineers are, too. No one is confused.
In the announcement it sounds like they are planning to change the license in some manner, “Will the GraalVM license change?
The plan is to align all the GraalVM technologies with Java both from a release perspective and from a licensing perspective. Additional details will follow in the coming months as we move forward through this process.”
Slowly degrade, cripple, and eventually remove untaxed options like they have been doing with app authentication/gatekeeper. Problem solved.
I think that you probably have in your mind what "gamers" would call "real games", those with highly detailed 3D graphics and requiring significant hardware (especially GPU) power, but what's considered a video game is far broader than that, and can be as simple as a basic puzzle game needing not more than 80s-era hardware.
Ah yes. The Zillow strategy
The claims shift around so that they're nondisprovable. Someone could say that ME is a backdoor that has never been activated and will be undetectable until some future day when it is activated.
No because most languages don't just compile to WASM... You need to compile and distribute a runtime or, in the case of dynamic languages, full interpreter with the web page. JS is way less code to ship depending on how much interactivity you want...

> If we're trading compelling arguments, then there is one for consciousness not only being unnecessary, but also a drawback that evolution would happily optimize away given time, and basically not worth the energy it burns

Considering we don't know what consciousness is or what it does functionally, any such argument is a fairy tale at best. It might contain some interesting insights or lessons, but don't mistake it for reality.

I have told you where you may send my winnings, in advance, although I cannot enforce it.

But it is far from clear that we will have enough spare renewable generating capacity deployed by 2030 to charge up storage, most places. 2040 seems more likely, provided global civilization has not collapsed by then. We will need to start on factories to make the equipment needed to provide storage well before we need the storage. Factories take appallingly long to build.
I seem to recall one of go’s creators snapped back at a similar question about code duplication with “what’s the matter, are your fingers broken?”

I think that sums up the philosophy, though maybe not as well as “Nothing was achieved here”, which I would like to translate into Latin and get on some stickers.
Fun fact: Mr. Burns from The Simpsons has T-Rex arms, in my opinion. Because he's super old.
I feel python’s performance pain with anything related to pandas. The issue with this post is that Go isn’t an obvious substitute due to its more verbose syntax.
Good ole days.
Maybe what I have in mind as the env setup is different but 1) lower envs might not experience the load or edge cases as prod 2) lower envs are supposed to be as similar as possible to prod. Is it a good idea to test things with Python 3.11 and run it in prod using a different Python version? It might even force you to use different versions of a lib for each env which means no confidence for releases to prod based on lower env tests (one way would be to have two lower envs. One for next Python version and another for current one as in prod. But #1 is my main issue.)
Every engineering-minded founder/CEO will come up with this idea once in their career, get badly burned, and quickly realize why roles like customer success exist.

Having developers answer support tickets and follow up on leads is a terrible use of their time (especially considering how much you are paying them) and they will be terrible at it. In the worst case they will piss off customers and actually harm your business.

Imagine if the situation was flipped, and your CEO went "sales reps need to understand engineering complexity, so from now on they will each have to fix 10 bugs a month."

If there are problems with bug & feature prioritization, customer satisfaction or the product feedback loop, focus on fixing them the right way (and involving the right roles) instead of taking shortcuts.
One had high hopes for TFA, only to discover another tired hagiography of wise "Framers" whose perfect work (which mentions, let us recall, both "free Persons" and "other Persons") has been failed by its stupid unworthy subjects.

Bullshit. The constitution was a conspiracy of rich assholes who were tired of state legislatures occasionally favoring the interests of poor farmers, workmen, and merchants over those of rich assholes. They rammed through the constitution, and never again had to worry about legislatures cancelling debts owed to them.

Forget amendments. The whole rotten thing should have been thrown out in 1790, and in every year since then. If we have ever made any progress, it has been in spite of the constitution, not because of it.
I knew a kid who got into MIT. I walked in on him collaborating with his girlfriend to write his own recommendations. Sometimes you have to make your own luck I guess. Funny because his girlfriend absolutely deserved to get accepted into MIT, I don't think she took this path, but it kind of let me down that she was involved in this.
It's cute for trivial cases like algebra libraries, but very ripe for abuse (std::cout) and hard to get right for scenarios where it’s two different types being operated on, especially if a) the leftmost one is a built-in or b) various combinations of casts could get you to a supported operator.

Rust obviously does do operator overloading, but it addresses (a) mostly through culture, and (b) by insisting on explicit casts everywhere.
How do you compare to products that seem to do similar things such as PingID (https://www.pingidentity.com/en.html)?
This seems like a sensible solution to the FP. Alien communications would need to be directed towards us for us to detect them, and we're obviously so stupid that no one would want to communicate with us, though they might send observers from time to time, to gather information for their documentaries to show their kids how not to run a civilization.
i completely agree. the best product work i've done was at a company that had engineers spend 1 hour a week answering customer support tickets. you get to know the customer and how they use the product intimately, and you get to know aspects of the product itself that you normally might not touch, just by trying to solve a customer problem. plus, there is no better feeling than getting a customer complaint that you realize right away is a 10 minute bugfix, making the change, deploying the code and emailing them back that the problem should be resolved. really satisfying and morale boosting.
Could a state democratically elect to secede from the union? What if a National vote was held and a majority agreed to split up the USA? At what point could we democratically all agree we think the other side is crazy, and ask to peacefully take our ball and go home?
but I personally can't see why I'd use this.

For webapps, it means using one language/ecosystem instead of two.
Under the Articles of Confederation all decisions were made by a vote of the states. The Constitution has a very different structure. Most of the power resides in Congress that the people control. The Electoral College is solely selecting the executive not deciding Constitutional questions.

The people are represented by the House and assert their will that way. The apportionment of representatives should be changed so the same number of people are represented by each representative. That alone would alleviate most of the complaints of unequal representation. Being stuck with 435 representatives really skews the power distribution. Returning the Senate to selection by state legislature also solves the complaint of unequal representation in the senate. Representing the people isn't supposed to be the purpose of the senate.

However, for electing an executive, what is wrong with one vote per state? The states are selecting their international representative that Constitutionally has little power.

The mess we have was made incrementally over time. It doesn't make sense to give states one vote in presidential elections without fixing representation of the people and of the state governments. Fixing the house should be the first step so the people feel like they are being represented equally. Then fix the Senate so state governments have a voice. The maybe we address changes to the Electoral College.
