I would agree if these types of pro-active measures required a judge to sign an order given a minimum threshold of evidence.

I have heard that it is shockingly easy to get a judge to issue a search warrant at 2 in the morning on a Saturday. I am not a lawyer, but from what I understand even then there is a minimum bar that needs to be met as far as evidence supporting the petition goes: what is the suspected crime? What evidence is there that supports the suspicion? Why do we believe that a search warrant will produce concrete evidence that the crime occurred and what is the scope of the required search (what property, specifically, are we asking to be able to examine and potentially confiscate?).

Similar, much higher, thresholds need to be met with respects to holding suspects in custody pending a trial.

Under no circumstances should any other government agencies be able to compel anything from anyone "just because." That's what the courts exist for. People have a right to due process and "agree to a safety plan" under threat is an act of force that was not authorized by a court order but by an independent government agency acting alone; outside of the one single entity that we trust to be in charge of doing that both fairly and under extremely tight scrutiny and limitations.

A rewrite is not the same as a writing a similar app from scratch.

You need to worry about deciding what functionality to preserve, what to change, and what to throw away. Most rebuilds either fail because they skip this step and the result is inadequate for the job, or they do this step and get bogged down in the minutiae of locking down requirements, digging into edge cases, and stakeholder management.

True. Reasonable to me is a pretty high bar. You can write in a functional style in JS and feel it is reasonable. You might feel differently after using SML/OCaml/Haskell/etc.
I understand the frustration, I guess I'm just wondering why it's not an option to shop around while already employed, even if it's (temporarily) at a job you don't really like?

I've had jobs I really hated- I quit one once without anything lined up because it was dragging my whole life down. I get that. But in my experience the things that make a job intolerable are uncommon. It wasn't too hard to leave a job that was intolerable and find an adjacent one that was at least tolerable. Maybe your experience has been different

I'm just wondering if it has to be all-or-nothing in the short term; whether you could find a tolerable one that pays the bills and leaves you time to really hunt for that dream job

About the programmer in a dutch cell: that is not true, he is in "voorarrest" which is in an arrest house not in a jail cell. Maximum time for that is a 110 days(depending on the complexity of the case).

> Also, to be slightly pedantic, the X-16 doesn't have IO ports. It's using a 65C02 processor, where all I/O is memory mapped.

The video ram is not on the 65C02's bus apparently and is accessed through a set of registers which must slow down things quite a bit, you get plenty of video memory this way though I guess. Must be what they mean by "IO Ports"

Good summary. I would just add that "can't supply enough power" is a state the board can enter into either in lower battery levels or (more often) when a rider has put their center of mass too far forward, causing the board to work harder to stay under them, while also moving at a higher rate of speed or accelerating - the board can't give enough power to maintain this.

Pushback is to be respected, but the user can also ignore it and carry on. It's literally the board telling you that you need to get ready to run if you don't stop, but many will just ignore and keep on keepin' on, often at speeds faster than they are capable of running.

The approach you're describing sounds a lot like proof-search in idris and agda (coq too, I thing), and it's nicer than you think: you're very often working with definition-stubs created by automated case-splitting, which adds holes for you. Jumping around between holes becomes how you program, not an irritating interruption.

But even aside from that, I don't think verb-first needs to be a showstopper: given that we've got type signatures, there's a lot of local context to work with. You're probably calling a function on one or more of the parameters, or else you're typing the leftmost-piece of a composition chain that gives you your result type. So throw Param1Type -> a, b -> ResultType etc at hoogle and populate a completion list. Completion doesn't have to be perfect to be useful. The hard part would be performance: if completion isn't fast, what's the point?

The people arguing with you are assuming that the police accurately reported the situation, so that CPS was told "this parent let their child walk half a mile unattended". If that is the only complaint, there's clearly no need to investigate because there's nothing to investigate.

Whereas if - as you seem to be assuming - CPS only heard "this parent commited neglect and possibly abuse of their child", investigation would indeed be needed to figure out they were being lied to. But other people are assuming CPS got accurate information in the first place.

My daughter attended Montessori through grade 8, with a stint of homeschool in there. She is in high school at an arts boarding school studying classical violin (well, and those academic things on the side…) She felt well prepared for the type of work required because of foundational experiences of independent work in Montessori. Transition was not difficult at all.

There are lots of actual reconstructions of nearly-lost languages, though. Language certainly evolves, but there are people, that you can name, that sat through committee meetings putting together and voting on some of these reconstructions; for example Modern Hebrew and Hindi (to name probably the largest ones.) Modern Greek also seems like a bit of a disaster of historical reconstruction committees arguing with farmer observation committees for ages. Even English got clumsily rebased onto Latin and Greek from the 16th century on as its spelling was being standardized by prescriptivists.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_language_question

So regardless of whether there's a "true" Basque language, it certainly could have gone through a period of conscious, top-down reconstruction after some period when middle-class academics (and politicians, usually) who would be interested in either rediscovering or purifying the language, or just plain looking for a nationalist project to rally around couldn't find anyone left who spoke the language at all, spoke it purely enough for them, or even spoke it prettily enough for their image of what the language should be.

I don't know that this happened to Basque, but it happens all the time.
I don't have a strong opinion on the matter, evidence is very sparse. There is a strong consensus that Basque is not Indo-European. It is also seems likely that the Basque language (or an ancestor) was used in the surrounding area before the large Indo-European migration from the east, Basque doesn't seem to have been brought by a different migration from somewhere else, at least not after pre-history.

The Vasconic Substrate Hypothesis suggests that Basque was a major language in Europe from prehistory or at least the neolithic, and that it influenced most modern European languages. That's rather a stretch, modern western European languages are mostly a mix between Indo-European variants and Latin, to a larger or smaller degree. Claiming another pre-indo-european layer under all that, I mean, sure, maybe, but it is diluted to an extent that makes it rather irrelevant.

The evidence for that is very weak, it depends on how literally you interpret the theory. I think it is arrogant to suggest that those ancient languages were basque, rather modern basque has some distant roots in those pre-indo-european languages. In my opinion, the more correct way of expressing it would be that this proto-basque was part of a large family of related languages spoken in Europe during the neolithic. There is no proper evidence that proto-basque was widespread, it's just that it is the only preserved remnant from that linguistic era at large.
There is a long line of very popular YouTube stars who have tried to transition to making more "mainstream" entertainment content (TV, movies) and have failed spectacularly. Large YouTube channels have fine tuned all aspects of their production to be surfaced by YouTube algorithms and consumed by YouTube audiences.

Yep, unfortunately it’s incredibly hard to put value on those intangibles.

And what’s worse, being a hard nosed asshole is expected behaviour from executives, even if it’s uncalled for or actively harmful to the company.

I knew a guy fresh out of MBA school who proudly told everyone I worked with that if they didn’t like what he asked them to do, he’d sack them. Despite the fact that these people had specific training, were good at what they did, and understood how best to do their jobs.

His attitude really made me think about the value of individuals in a company - and showed me exactly how not to do things in the future.

While it's not just you, and there are lots of folks who think that's just fine: if someone hires a dev and then make them spend only 10% doing the job they applied for, whoever hired them lied about the job, and the product they're hiring for has fundamental problems that you can either commit to solve, or burn bodies over in the hopes that you get transferred out to a different position and it's not your problem anymore. One of those may be good for business, but it's not the one that makes for a good company.

ok, i do agree that prior bad experience does shape ones expectations, and i could not say that i would not allow my self to be influenced by such an experience. that said, from an outside perspective, i don't think the odds are stacked like that. from my personal experience, a large class size doesn't make it more likely for any one child to make friends. on the contrary. in my class of 25-30 kids i had no friends at all. i believe that a smaller class of say 15 kids would have increased the opportunities to make friends because there would be less opportunities for others to exclude me from their activities.

even if your child makes friends easily, large classes allow the class to split into multiple subgroups, cliques that stick together. the smaller the class, the less likely this should happen. at least that is what my intuition suggests. i would put the limit for that to 10-15 kids though. any more than that is an invitation to form subgroups.

but we also must not forget the montessori aspect here, which has a strong influence on the group dynamics and individual childrens behavior.

for one, i believe that the montessori approach is driving and motivating children in a way that they simply don't show as much negative behavior as they would exhibit in a traditional class.

If you're thinking of joining big tech, try to join a team that develops an internal tool.

You have as much impact and are exposed to as much scale (maybe not in terms of TPS but in terms of data, etc.), but you usually have much lighter development processes and a much more frequent release cycle. Your ops will also be a lot lighter.
It's really difficult getting hundreds or thousands of people working together. Tooling, communication, etc become really critical. Otherwise, it's just chaos. As a result, you spend a lot less time "actually working" and a lot more time "collaborating" and "project managing". Spending less than 50% of your time on "actually working" is very normal in large companies

Part of the reason is that SQL is simply a bad language (the JavaScript of databases).

Part of the reason is also the thinking and philosophy behind DBMSs as interactive systems. Especially with regards to code.

A function doesn't just exist. You create a function and it lives in the database until you alter it or drop it.

This creates a different (temporal?) impedance mismatch with standard code management tools like version control. The result is most often a maintenance nightmare.

It’s a temporary leak. My point is that it’s an actual side effect, unlike how in C it has no effect whatsoever if the value is ignored.

In a language where destruction of an object often releases external resources (C++, for example, or Python or Rust to a lesser extent), this effect would be more dramatic. Imagine someone doing this in Python:

def func():
f = tmpfile(…)
err = do something
return f, err

This style would be absurd and wrong — it keeps f alive to long.
I'd expect that the something in return buys you a king's seat at the regulatory table, not quite a get-out-of-jail-scott-free-for-stealing-billions card.

I'm sure that in a few years, once the courts get everything sorted out, we'll learn which of our prejudices is closer to reality. As of today, though, we're both just speculating.
I see this complaint a lot and it never really made any sense to me. If something is a scam it has to do with the delivery or the advertisement of the product. But the pricing? No. It is not possible for the price of something by itself to render something a scam. If it costs too much it costs too much, this does not imply malfeasance on the part of the seller.
Around a quarter of the ferry crossings in Norway are electrified. Usually there's one or two electric ferries and one diesel ferry. They charge while unloading and loading and during the night when there's fewer crossings. Before they had to take breaks during the day to charge, but now days I think they run all day.
Anyone in their right might would also assume that depositors would vet the financial institutions holding their (billions of dollars of) capital, but alas here we are.

Also, I think you underestimate the amount of effort it takes to uncover something like this. There was a YouTube video posted to HN a few days ago where Marc Cohodes went over why he believed FTX was a scam a few weeks prior to the news breaking. It provided an interesting glimpse into what's required to do DD on this type of operation. It starts with good intuition, which most people don't have, and then evolves into things like hiring private investigators, or running comprehensive background checks on the officers of the company, or calling people with intimate knowledge of the inner workings, or finding ex-employees, etc. etc. etc.

Now you could say, well a presidential candidate should do all that stuff. And in an ideal world, they would. But Marc Cohodes does this as a full time job and likely makes large sums of money from his vocation. It's unrealistic to expect most people, presidential candidate or otherwise, to be capable of performing that kind of DD.
Seems like he's chosen the path of a real "poster". Trying to "post through it" until things improve or someone finally takes away his phone/computer.
