Your response exactly exemplifies what I wrote in my top-level comment, where there is an unwillingness on both sides to accept a "both of these can be true simultaneously" posture.

Yes, I agree, I have seen many on "the right" take singular examples to demonize the other side with no real concern about the welfare of the individuals involved.

But I have also pretty much never seen those on "the left" empathize with and stand up for the individuals who have regretted their transitions or used it to reexamine some of their views. More often than not I see these individuals demonized as "tools of the right".
What the heck is this?

The presumption of this article is that trigger warnings get you emotionally ready for an adverse subject, but I'm pretty sure that's not what they are for.

I figure most people often want warnings on their books/videos/etc "e.g. this is a live-leak of somebody dying" so they can avoid the material.

---

Per his twitter "Well, too bad for all y'all. Trigger warnings do not seem to encourage avoidance." ... Sounds kinda us-vs-them.

I'm 100% sure I do not click on videos on reddit that indicate they are videos of somebody dying. No amount of statistical papers will change that. I highly doubt I'm the only one.
This is all very interesting. Why is that people in countries generally south of the equator have more collective agency in their state's affairs than those in the north? I only ask because whenever people talk on here about politics in America or Europe, people don't have a hard time accepting that the state would be against the interests of individuals, but whenever its about some country in Africa or South America, the focus is much more on the country as a whole as like a rational individual.
I read through it, I think the idea of having regular attention checks is quite interesting. (Personally I found them to be a bit too frequent).
But there are also things like:

>If you implement halts using canBeRegex, you’ve got a proof by contradiction that canBeRegex can’t exist.

This is plainly false. I can also implement halts using addition, that does not imply that addition can not exist.

The author is clearly writing for a more general audience and I know what he means. But I think that if you are writing for a more general audience you should be more careful in your language and I think the article is sonewhat lacking there.
Great bit! Same with airline overbooking ;)
Thank you for saying this. With Apple being the "UX" and "media users" company, this level of negligence and apathy shocks me so much I keep on self-doubting macOS actually works the way I remember. It's crazy, just crazy.

thaumasiotes was saying married people vote Republican more often. pfisch was suggesting he was actually witnessing a separate correlation. Older people tend to vote Republican more often, older people are more often married than younger people.

I was suggesting that there are other things that go into even the age issue.

Religious people are more likely to marry than non-religious people. Religious people tend to vote more conservatively than non-religious people. Etc. etc. I was agreeing with pfisch that a lot of the reasons people get married often line up with reasons why people vote Republican.

And I wouldn't say the Catholic Church believes its mission to be to eliminate poverty. Or even alleviate it. They want to temporarily alleviate the superficial effects of poverty on people.
Since manufacturing two things is more expensive than manufacturing one thing?
Weird. If I took millions from a company to name something I would either structure it as a lease (in which case failure to pay would result in renaming) or put clauses in the contract allowing a buyout in case of bankruptcy or scandal. Did nobody really consider this possibility?
What about stuff like movie and game ratings? What about things like restricting sexually explicit material to minors? Seems like a weird point to make. What I like about content warnings is that I can choose whether I want to engage with something that might upset me in a more granular fashion than “entire profile.” It’s not like I’d stop avoiding content if there were no CWs anywhere.
Very interesting language, but so difficult to read. Something about the undifferentiated sea of lowercase letters just makes my eyes glaze over. People say it gets easier as you use it, but I never managed to get there.

It was really bad around the VolTE roll-out because the firmwares were pretty junky at that point (like a 10-1 failure rate) so we started doing testing calling from a phone to another (working) phone before doing the emergency services call.

If the Linux kernel had worked the same way, we'd never have gotten Linux.
The `fast_decode` as written is undefined behavior for some inputs (INT_MAX for example) because of the integer overflow in `2*x`. This can be fixed by casting to an unsigned int first.

Also a warning, right shifting a negative number gives the expected result (arithmetic right shift) in C++20, but is still implementation defined even in the C23 draft spec. Likely you're good, but the spec doesn't guarantee it.
Going from default dead to default alive is huge. But a 3% profit margin just keeps you alive until some disaster occurs and then you’re still dead.

Going from 5% to 10% might be leverage in the market, but you were still going to limp along anyway. When I’ve been at startups trying to do things like this, it’s very clear that the investors have in their head some notion of multiplying your profits. Every company I worked for that pulled this ended up cutting to the bone later. I don’t think that’s a coincidence.

These days I’m not sure labor is a big enough part of the cost mix for a 10% layoff to actually show up as 5% margin. I pulled that out of my butt and now I’m having second thoughts.
While that might count as “a computer”, it definitely doesn’t count as “software”.
Meditation seems like a fundamentally different thing to me with different benefits. Kinda seems like apples to oranges. I think part of the problem is that the whole mindfulness movement has sometimes sold meditation as a kind of self hypnosis. But I've always liked to think of it as just doing nothing on purpose. Active dreaming seems not so much like doing nothing.
Probably computer generated and defaulted to compact output.
I typically see content flagged NSFL when it's generally repulsive regardless of background (excepting those seeking out the content). Stuff like graphic videos of beheadings or people set on fire that's upsetting even to people with no traumatic background. It's kind of like a trigger warning for an average person; background doesn't matter if the content is bad enough.
The great thing about undecidable problems is, that you can put an arbitrary amount of research in and you'll probably find another subclass of instances for which the problem is indeed decidable.

Only an infinite number of subclasses of instances to go.

That's proven job safety for computer science researchers.
I’ve had great experiences running bare metal instances on packet.io but haven’t used them since the acquisition. For accurate benchmarking it was fantastic (and much cheaper than EC2 bare metal instances).
Or install Ublock Origin in Firefox blocking the javascript and read the entire article without a captcha getting in the way.
This is true, but I think things like DDD provide an antidote (or at least, some pressure to organize along different dimensions).

If you are explicitly talking about business domains and bounded contexts, then you can see areas where the Alice/Bob split is not optimal (typically, lots of team coupling across org boundaries). Without those concepts I think it is easier to justify arbitrary political/territorial org structures.

There is no panacea; one can always provide contorted justifications for things. But I think having a framework really helps, and particularly, having one that includes business stakeholders and not just pure technical functions.

Do you mean this in some metaphysical sense? Because you can exchange USD for gods or services outside the US without the US government getting involved.
These are available, observable cones to mind. Why would you build a new repl?
Yup, I agree fully with what you just said, also the bullying-part and erring on the side of being nice. I guess there's a few layers to unpack here.

The lowest layer is that I was acting out a psychological impulse, not implementing a premeditated policy. Knocking everyone down a peg just in case they deserve it would be a policy, and certainly one that I wouldn't find agreeable. Why did I have this impulse in the first place? I don't know.

The next layer is: Given the impulse, how did I decide to act it out, given that it conflicted with a very valid ethical imperative to "be nice". First note that OP established themselves as having high social status. I myself am low in status. This is both the default assumption made by most readers in relation to anonymous strangers on the internet, and the actual truth in relation to my person. So this was an instance of "punching up", rather than "punching down". If, for example, OP were a mentally retarded person writing the above and using the word "company" to refer to their occupational therapy work group, we'd have to reinterpret the transaction as "punching down", and what I did would then be absolutely horrifying. The thought (though far-fetched) didn't cross my mind at the time. It might have cancelled out my impulse at some lower level of my psyche.

While punching down is always morally deplorable, punching up is often acceptable, and even has a useful function in society. Just think of the animal kingdom where reproductive success goes to animals of high social status, and animals of low status challenge those of high status with the outcome that reproductive potential isn't wasted.

Even so, if I consistently took any opportunity to deal out punches, provided only that it's punching up rather than down, then I probably could still be said to have a pretty mean personality, and it would probably cause me more suffering than gain. But if, just once every tenth time or so, I just do it, then that feels to me like an amount of karma I can actually afford, plus I'd feel like I'm spending my karma on something useful.

I'm sort of reminded here of the role of the jester in medieval courts: No one but the jester could say anything that might offend the king. But if the jester says it publicly, and it resonates with many, then that resonance is almost like a democratic institution of sorts. It makes the king less likely to do stuff that the jester will poke fun at. It serves the will of the many of low status over the will of the few of high status. So what I'm saying is: We should all take turns, playing the role of the jester. This would be a force for good. It would make it more difficult for someone to hold on to high status, if many of lower status don't want them to have that high status.
Why? The eurozone can’t hold itself together, China is a house of cards with bad planned economy failures, the uk isn’t worth mentioning any more, and everywhere else either has unstable economies or economies based on volatile or limited lifetime commodities.

The dollar is the global reserve currency because the US has centuries of reasonable behavior and military and natural resources that guarantee long term stability. There isn’t a better option unless you’re playing temporary political games or if your macroeconomic situation is so bad you can’t play the game normally.

RP2040 is for people that aren’t comfortable leaving the relative safety and comfort of Raspberry Pi and this prevented from exploring other, better options.

I’ll take an STM32 over an RP2040 any day. (The “Black Pill” dev/breakout board is a dollar and fifty cents on AliExpress, and I’ve seen it sell for a dollar or less.)
Amazon's own chips are ARM. ARM requires somewhat specialized builds of software that are likely different than development instances, CI/CD, and/or local dev machines. It's not insurmountable but does certainly complicate usage.
> Great. And the entire field of static analysis is available for you to do this. But when discussing the formal consequences of the halting problem it is just completely pedantic to show up and point out that actually you can run Coverity and it'll spit out some pretty useful results on most programs.

I'm glad that my points were so clear and obvious to you!
Caveat, the thing that makes it decidable is not the fact that it was going to run on a computer with finite memory, the SMT solver will fail on many code chunks that can run on your computer. (And that's more or less the claim of the halting theorem, not that nothing useful can be done, but that anything done can only be heuristic.)

What made it decidable was rather the fact that you did not use all of the power that your programming language makes available to you, you did not steer the program last the bounds where the heuristics work.

This kind of becomes a little more obvious when you port Turing’s proof of the halting theorem to a “normal” programming language. The thing you immediately notice is a type error, “does the analyzer halt when given itself as an input?”... well, it doesn't know what to do, it was expecting an argument of type `ParseTree x` for some x and you handed it an argument of type `∀x. ParseTree x → Bool`...

To get around this and build the liar paradox which makes the proof “go,” is not too hard: but you are basically forced to produce a quine instead and those techniques are non-trivial. In our normal programming lives, you could apply a heuristic that assumes we never do such things, and life is good.

The focus on finite versus infinite memory is a huge distraction. If your halting detector applied to the above quine tried to not be a heuristic by salvaging the case where it runs out of memory while analyzing, you would get the result “this program will OOM, but if you run me in a machine with 1 meg less memory I will stop an odd number of cycles earlier and the program will not OOM, but will instead halt successfully telling you that the next cycle would OOM.” Suddenly your tests that you build with this thing are all flaky, because it didn't have the humility to be a heuristic and say “I don't know this is too complex for me,” and in the real world you are running on Linux and you don't know how many megs you really have available. Better just to not play any of that game.

So yeah the problem with Turing machines is not that they have infinite memory, infinite memory is in fact a standard assumption that most programmers in GCed languages make when programming most of their programs. This is why “your problem isn't the garbage collector, it's that you're swimming in garbage” and all that.

Put another way, Turing machines suck even if you enhance them to have 5 parallel tapes (God why do they not have parallel tapes by default, should have at least one for output, one for main memory, one for a stack, and some more as scratchpads) of bytes (seriously why are they still not bytes in textbooks) and enforce that the tapes each only have 1 billion symbols and any attempt to go off the edge crashes the Turing machine. You are joyous because it now only has finite memory, I can run a cycle detection with 10^{1 billion} nodes in the graph or whatever, so cycle detection is in principle solved! If you are as pragmatic as you say you are, you see that this is no help, halting is still effectively impossible.
For sure, I missed that.
Surely it would depend on the reliability demands of your product.
The OS was bugged. The method that fetches the phone service providers for emergency services returned a sorted list of all service providers. Had the necessary filters been in place, the index issue wouldn't even have become a problem.

The integer overflow issue was part of a very flawed last resort branch of a piece of sorting code. It did underflow, but the underflow happened in a piece of code that basically sorted two objects by their memory addresses at that point. There was no way to recover from that, the problem should've been caught way before instead.

It's awful that code this important is this buggy, but no code is entirely bug free and hard coding behaviour would only hard code the bug further. This is a problem that can only be solved with higher standards, better testing, and better code analysis tools.
The Article:

> Wolves infected with a common parasite are more likely than uninfected animals to lead a pack, according to an analysis of more than 200 North American wolves1. Infected animals are also more likely to leave their home packs and strike out on their own.

From Wikipedia, Toxoplasmosis Gondii ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxoplasma_gondii ):

> Although under-studied, penguin populations, especially those that share an environment with the human population, are at-risk due to parasite infections, mainly Toxoplasmosis gondii. The main subspecies of penguins found to be infected by T. gondii include wild Magellanic and Galapagos penguins, as well as blue and African penguins in captivity.[78] In one study, 57 (43.2%) of 132 serum samples of Magellanic penguins were found to have T. gondii. The island that the penguin is located, Magdalena Island, is known to have no cat populations, but a very frequent human population, indicating the possibility of transmission.

From Werner Herzog's Encounters at the End of the Earth ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7kdDeGXUjI ):

HERZOG: Dr. Ainley, is there such thing as insanity among penguins? I try to
avoid the definition of insanity or derangement. I don't mean that a penguin
might believe he or she is Lenin or Napoleon Bonaparte, but could they just go
crazy because they've had enough of their colony?

AINLEY: Well, I've never seen a penguin bashing its head against a rock. They
do get disoriented. They end up in places they shouldn't be, a long way from
the ocean.

HERZOG: These penguins are all heading to the open water to the right.
But one of them caught our eye, the one in the center.
He would neither go towards the feeding grounds at the edge of the ice,
nor return to the colony. Shortly afterwards, we saw him heading straight
towards the mountains, some 70 kilometers away. Dr. Ainley explained
that even if he caught him and brought him back to the colony, he would
immediately head right back for the mountains. But why?

One of these disoriented, or deranged, penguins showed up at the New Harbor
diving camp, already some 80 kilometers away from where it should be.

The rules for the humans are do not disturb or hold up the penguin. Stand still
and let him go on his way. And here, he's heading off into the interior of the
vast continent.

With 5, 000 kilometers ahead of him, he's heading towards certain death.
Do you have any local emergency non-999 numbers? I have saved the numbers for the local emergency dispatch numbers for the cities around me, along with the non-emergency ones. This is also where directing specific people around you to call 999 (or calling on another person's phone) is a backup plan.
Presumably there are some sort of automated tests though. If those are working well enough to find bugs there's probably no need for "pure" unit tests (which I normally write because of performance and reliability issues that plague automated tests running at a higher level). It makes sense that kernel OS code would be more suitable to such higher level testing, given it typically doesn't have expensive/slow dependencies on external resources out of its control.

It's not obvious that a social app should show UGC on the frontpage. If you do it wrong, it can be bad for your brand. It's hard to do it right in a way that draws people in, rather then turning them off. You want the app to be associated with content users like on the app, not necessarily with whatever is currently trending.
It’s a don’t ask don’t tell policy. The rivers of money tend to wash over objections. The culpability should be the same, but there’s enough cover that people will say things like you just did, with a straight face.
