It looks like you were involved, and maybe even emotionally invested in the outcome of the referendum. But the polls and promises don't have much relevance. The fact was the outcome was 55/45, and the participation was about 85%. In modern times, when margins of victory are generally 5% or less, a more than 10% margin is absolutely huge. Here's some of the most famous vote results in the last decade:

- Brexit: 51.9/48.1, margin 3.8%
- Biden vs Trump: 51.3/46.8, margin 4.5% (of course, in the US the President is chosen via an indirect method, so the raw percentages don't matter per se)
- Trump vs Clinton: 46.1/48.2, margin -2.1% -> Trump lost the popular vote but won the electoral college

But its very hard to push them out once they made “connections” and “politics” going.

I imagine this would be quite difficult in practise, due to all the subliminal factors behind a person's writing choices.

For example, as somewhat illustrated here, your personal vocabulary is a kind of fingerprint. As you mention, using a thesaurus can somewhat alleviate that, but if a thesaurus is only changing a small % of your words, then it will only have a suitably small % effect upon analysis.

To go yet further might (I suspect!) entail methods such as directly lifting and using other people's sentences to convey your own thoughts. But even then, "your own thought patterns" are still informing the manner of the post, to some extent, so over time increasingly robust analysis may still find patterns to hook into.
If you need to practice leetcode like things for interviews, aren’t you also doing free ‘work’? Only in that case it’s more proof-of-work than something actually useful. Perhaps one could point at the openly viewable results when talking to other companies.

There’s no taboo about it. I was spouting the “we invaded Iraq for the oil” theory myself when I was a college student at the time. But in hindsight we didn’t get any oil out of that war. We weren’t even trying.

The intervening 20 years has made clear that there’s no realpolitik rational decision making at play here. Take Ukraine for example. Is there oil in Ukraine? No, it’s Russia that has the oil. So why do we give a shit about Ukraine? Because Americans really are just that childishly idealistic when it comes to foreign policy. They believe in good versus evil and that America needs to intervene on the side of good.
There's still a range of choices on the safe <-> dangerous driving spectrum which fall within the law.
Virtually every property borders public land of some kind (a public road right of way, typically). It might be interesting to minimally specify what it means to allow access in a way that doesn't allow virtually any path across one's land. You can't just require allowance from any other border directly to the nearest border of public land, for this reason (could be through the owner's house or garden). One way might be to require the specification of public traversal areas as part of the title. Or 100m around the edges of every property is traversable.

I am of the generation and mindset that online abuse is not real. Straight up. Log out, turn off the screen and watch Netflix, take a walk and calm down, block the offending user. It's not real.

>I suspect we need better support for police in prosecuting such things

We do see that! But mostly people on Facebook. Here we have had judgements of people who posted threats on Facebook because it is tied to your real name.

And yes, abuse is part of the "fun". Under your system, my 10 years old Leauge and CoD chats would have me locked up.

Is it? I would find it more concerning if someone on the street tells me he is going to kill me than a kid on xbox live.

Funny - I’m in almost the exact opposite predicament! I’ll spare you a copypasta-like reiteration of your post and just ask you for a few book recommendations on how to learn modern backend development. I also need no recommendations for data structures and such, and I’ve already read “Designing Data-Intensive Applications”. The last time I did much professional backend work, SOAP and WSDLs were all the rage, except for the cool tattooed devs who used Perl.

To your question, I strongly believe “JavaScript the Good Parts” is of historical interest only (say, if you want to take over an application written before ~2010). I recommend “Effective JavaScript” instead.
Sadly I think we've barely ventured into the choppy waters of the storm.

I recently wasted three days trying to get Scrivener to do something very basic - autonumber sections in a book without including part numbers.

It should have been easy, but the autonumbering features didn't work as advertised and I ended up with something that is probably a hack that relies on some bugs.

It's good VFM, but considering its audience it's also one of the most user-hostile pieces of software I've ever used. [1]

There's far too much "Yes it does that but it's not designed for it so keep your expectations low" for comfort.

Either include features and make them professional, or don't include them at all. I'd happily pay two or three times as much for something that does all the things it sorta kinda implies it does but you know actually not really.

Vellum does almost nothing in comparison except produce a limited range of beautiful books. But perhaps that may be of some interest to writers?

In the short term maybe. Long term lower prices means more sales -> more economies of scale -> lower prices.

This is much more subtle than the article makes it out to be. I don't think I understand it well enough to have a clear position, but here is what comes to mind:

They are asking that companies affirm they won't boycott Isreal (this is almost certainly why the ACLU cares, but anyway) in exchange for government contracts.

Does anybody know how the constitution applies in such situations? What comes to mind is the drug testing requirement for federal contracts. Police can't just come up and randomly drug test you, but you can agree to it in exchange for money. Why is this different? It feels like there are lots of business situations where you essentially give up a right as part of a contract.

I understand why the newspaper doesn't sign, I probably wouldn't either. But then I wouldn't expect to get the money.
The logic is very simple. You just can’t boycott Israel.

Edit: And you can’t post about how you can’t boycott Israel either.

It's an approach to wireless engineering aiming to make it much easier for sensing and communications applications to use the same spectrum simultaneously. There are so many papers on the topic and some of them are more technical but a lot are focused on possible applications. The name "ISAC" is kind of an umbrella term to describe a bunch of different approaches both old and new.

For the passive sensing applications you can mix and match these keywords in Google scholar:

"Device free", "gait recognition", "passive", "localization", "identification", "activity recognition"

For example: "device free localization" is a keyword for papers about tracking people who don't have phones. Another similar one would be "passive identification". You might also try "adversarial localization".

See this paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.11457

And check this out: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=1812720569488179637...

Some of these papers are more than a decade old, and are written about standard WiFi hardware. So for researchers this kind of stuff is old news.

> We revolted for a reason, many Americans seem to have forgotten those reasons in the centuries since

Aristocrats couldn't accept admitting representatives elected by the merely rich, rather than only aristocrats, since that would obviously be a large step toward the end of aristocratic political privilege, while most British citizens in positions of political power in the colonies were rich but were not aristocrats, so wouldn't accept representation that curtailed the franchise and/or restricted office to aristocrats, as it was in Britain (American revolutionary leaders wanted a slightly larger franchise, as was the custom in the colonies, and without which they would suffer a great loss of power and probably wealth, since office is a great way to get richer, maybe even more-so then than now) and these positions were irreconcilable for reasons of individual interest on both sides?

[EDIT] I mean there were also propaganda reasons but if that hadn't been a factor the war very likely wouldn't have happened until/unless Britain tried to end slavery.

The quality of the standard library, especially net, time, and to a lesser extent, strings.

The tooling, including the built-in testing package and test tool, and go doc. Also vet and fmt, if for no other reason than it precludes most arguments over braces and tabs vs spaces. I don't have cause to use it much, but pprof is a dream.

I like the idea of the go module system, and the fact that dependency management is part of the language ecosystem. It's still a bit clunky, especially if you end up, like I did, stuck with a system that has lots of libraries with poorly-thought out dependency relationships.

interfaces, especially single-method ones. But also the fact that your code doesn't have to declare it's implementing an interface, and has no dependencies on the interface declaration itself.

> The higher the speed the greater the capacity of the road

This is false[1]. Stopping distance increases as the square of speed, and therefore safe following distance also. This and other effects mean that 80 mph is well down on 30 mph.

Theoretically capacity should be independent of speed[2], but in practise it seems to decrease at high speeds because most drivers are careful.

> This situation is regrettable for both parties. But resorting to "US bad" and "China victim" here is a gross simplification of the situation.

It's clear which side is the aggressor here. The Chinese government doesn't want a tech war or a trade war, because every year that China can stably develop its economy plays in its favor. The US sees the same situation in exactly the opposite way: every year that China develops economically lessens American dominance.

> Widescale IP theft certainly isn't helping the US tech economy.

You're vastly overstating the importance of IP theft. This is a minor annoyance in the US-China relationship now. China used to have weak IP protections, like most developing countries, but now it has much stricter IP enforcement. If this were just a question of reducing IP theft, China and the US would have little difficulty negotiating a deal. The issue is much deeper: American anxiety about being displaced as the world's top power.

I personally prefer my name to be pronounced in the style of the local language instead of them trying to pronounce it according to its "original" pronunciation (which in my case growing up with two languages and cultures basically doesn't exist anyway).

That said I think everyone should make an effort to call people by the names they prefer to be called and that include pronunciation. On the other hand, I think if you have a name that is difficult for certain speakers of certain languages to pronounce, it's kind of silly to complain about their difficulties in pronouncing your name.
Well, it was for oil. We even had the Oil for Food sanctions program in the lead up. The result didn't work out in the US' favor, Iraq basically kicked us out.

But ultimately I think the oil was a secondary goal. The goal was, and is, endless military conflict as a means to funnel public funds into the military industrial complex. It doesn't matter if "we win" or not, hell we haven't won a war in decades. The point is to maintain persistent instability as a motivator for continued military budget increases. Ukraine is a prime example. All NATO member spending has increased, as has India, China, Iran, and Brazil. The media and politicians just use the "spread democracy" type rhetoric as a sales pitch for the public.
> This is possibly the core difference between the US and Europe for me; American individualism isn’t about individuals, but property, and it always has been.

That doesn't jive with my experience on the subject. The core of American individualism has always been the traditional first amendment rights. The idea that you can live your life your way requires property rights, sure, but they're ancillary to the ultimate goal of freedom.

Now, if you don't agree with the first amendment, it may look very different. And I could understand why someone would disagree with it. Not everyone wants to have to tolerate, say, nazi rallies being held out in the open. But to reduce it all to property is missing the forest for the trees.
