So according to you unions are rational, omnisciencet and benevolent agents, while entrepreneurs are dumb irrational idiots who will randomly fire people all the time for wearing a green shirt.

To your point about labor restrictions, unions gave us two day weekends and forty hour weeks. Modern labor practices are almost entirely defined by things unions fought for and standardized. The restrictions we have on work now didn't nebulously appear from the goodwill of employers.

What enabled more leisure and higher living standards for workers was harnessing efficient sources of energy, especially in the 19th century and creating machines to do a lot of hard work. Without efficient energy and machines, everything has to be done by humans, so reducing work hours means worse living standards. The fact that living standards were rising while cutting back on hours tells you there was something else doing the hard work and that was machines powered by efficient energy sources. That was the real enabler of leasure, cozy office work and high living standards.
What I miss in these kinds of discussions is this: Porn portrays a very distorted view of sexuality. It often objectifies and marginalizes women, portraying them as mere objects for male pleasure. Men frequently dominate women in these movies, perpetuating harmful gender stereotypes.

Now, imagine a minor growing up with exposure to these images. How will this affect their behavior towards girls and their understanding of sexuality?

Pornography often portrays an unrealistic and distorted view of sex and relationships, which can lead to unhealthy and unrealistic expectations. Limiting access to porn can help promote a healthier and more realistic view of sexuality.

So yes, I strongly believe we should limit access to porn.
<t's that easy access to porn is unhealthy for a developing brain.

That seems like a claim that needs a citation. Pretty much everyone under the age of 35 has had 'easy access' to porn in their formative years. Are we all mentally ill?
Eh. It’s extremely probably not aliens this time, though there is a very small chance it is. Given the trajectory of humanity, the alien scenario explaining an unexplained phenomena is not unreasonable, though almost always very unlikely. I find that a major portion of people fear the possibility so much that they’re unable to entertain the probability.
Your example indeed perfectly demonstrates the subtlety of closures in Rust. Now let's imagine I want to return a nested closure, e.g., `impl Fn(i32) -> impl Fn(i32) -> i32`, or something like that:

fn adder(x: i32) -> impl Fn(i32) -> impl Fn(i32) -> i32 {
move |y| move |z| y + x + z
}

Alright, I can't. I can do that for a single closure, but can't for two or more of them. Here's why we have `#![feature(impl_trait_in_fn_trait_return)]` -- in Nightly, among many other such features.

> If we want to blame the railroad union not getting any time off or sick leave

A huge part of what they were striking over were safety concerns. Maximum train lengths, minimum crew sizes (did you know trains can be run by a single person and the government has no issue with that?), and required maintenance were all things the union was fighting for, and were all totally ignored by good old union joe.

It's like the ACA. It was never illegal to not have health insurance. You wouldn't go to jail. Technically you weren't even penalized. You were just taxed at a higher rate. SCOTUS was on board with that, since Congress has the power to tax.

It's not illegal to not have kids. You won't go to jail. You're not penalized. You're just taxed at a higher rate.

It's not illegal to be employed. You won't go to jail. You're not penalized. You're just taxed at a higher rate.

It's not illegal to keep a vacant rental. You won't go to jail. You're not penalized. You're just taxed at a higher rate.

All of those are compelling in the same way: "Do this thing and we'll tax you less."

> Letting russia and china on the internet was a massive security mistake we should rectify.

I'm amazed that most of the comments are around the technical possibility/validity of the suggestion and not around this ridiculous bit of bigotry and isolationism.

The internet is successful because it is apolitical and universal. It is amazing it has stayed as unaffected by politics as it has - if it had been "invite only" for the US and maybe Europe it would not have taken off to the degree that it has and our industry would be orders of magnitude smaller.

Should I not be able to have a video call with a manufacturing partner in China? Should someone on a trip to see their family in Russia not be able to send email? Even Russia, which is behaving almost as badly as a country can, should be kept on the internet. That's how their citizens can know what's actually going on and keep the pressure on the government to stop.

His comments were in response to an issue opened in the repo, it's not like he went out of his way to bring the problem up. If you take concern with him speaking with his family's best interests in mind (especially the "indoctrination" he is concerned about for his child), then stop using core-js.
The problem is that I am interested in Rust's development and I do want to see the Rust keyword, when the content is substantive. For example, there is another front page post right now about Rust and Haskell, which is an interesting commentary.
It's actually notable because it's a visible side-effect of the fact that Rust is attracting lots of young n00b coders from the Python, Ruby and JS/TS ecosystems, not just C/C++ greybeards. It's successfully spanning the divide between systems-level and higher-level languages.

You do, sort of (though I get what you mean) even as an individual, even though it's less common and affects the benefits you get from being a member, and you may risk still paying dues to the recognised union (if there is one, and your state allows agency fees).

At the larger scale, your choice is to try to convince your co-workers.

The downside of joining a minority union / members only union is not that different in the US as elsewhere, in that you generally have no legal right to be treated as a bargaining agent or in the case of some such unions they explicitly don't even try get recognition.

But even the US has examples of minority unions being voluntarily given some degree of representation:

I don't know if Google needs a new CEO, but from everything I've heard about internal Google, they need to change up how they measure success and who they reward. So many awesome products launched with tremendous hype, left alone to stagnate, and then unceremoniously shut down. At this point, I can't get excited when Google announces something, no matter how amazing it seems.

Its on my bucket list of things to do, because here in the UK there are plenty of TalkTalk Youview (Huewei DN372T) TV boxes with 320GB hard drives that overheat and hang with the last official update from Youview and despite asking there is no way to revert these back.

However with so many being available on Ebay et al and the HD-less (DN360T) forcing people onto streaming services, I think its only right to reprovision these to work in a hive networked manner with external storage so people can store as much broadcast footage as they have storage for, and stream from any device.

Being an early adopter of Media Portal over a decade ago, but finding it impossible to secure windows even back then despite only using it for satellite transmissions, I think Linux should receive more attention now.

I guess it proves a strategic point about championing diversity. People often say that you hamstring a project by putting queer stuff front and center, alienating 'normal people'.

Yes, as AnhTho_FR said, some * notating “fair usage” or “unlimited for advertised use-cases” gives you a fallback in the event of a dispute. It ultimately depends on what you’re selling and who your customers are. If a customer is legitimately consuming way more than planned - so much that it’s not compensated by other customers who use it way less - then just reach out to them and talk person-to-person about why they love your product, what it accomplishes for them, and your situation on cost. A genuine customer will welcome that feedback. A customer trying to game your unlimited system should can be unwelcomed for renewal - you can fire a customer if need be!

We have rules but tradition has be to follow person. If a powerful person say something and rules comes in the way, then expect that rules will be bent or ignored altogether. Rules are written often written in a way that leaves them.open to.interpretations.

In India, at least, and probably elsewhere too, charialsmatic leaders are often the one who destroys instrlitutions because rules comes in their way and slows them down (whatever they are trying to achieve). Last charismatic leader before Modi was Indira Gandhi who imposed emergency.

I've been a Python instructor for 5+ years and I've never taught to my students that __init__ is not a constructor. That is I teach that __init__ works just like a constructor.

Sure technically (the best type of correct) it is not a constructor.

Where would this be important? Maybe it could be taught as part of "language lawyer" course.

I teach OOP around lesson 10. Each lesson is about 2hours.

Complete beginnners to programming are able create basic classes and even inheritance.

Some people like OOP some stick with imperative style. Some migrate to more functional style (which I personally advocate).

China Unicom IPs trying to guess your root password over SSH is not a cyberwarfare campaign. China regularly takes down botnets (read https://blog.netlab.360.com/). It is a result of a bunch of cheap IoT devices with default passwords.

Great! Now Russians go straight to using a US residential proxy when they commit fraud because they see they are being blocked instead of silently raising their internal risk score or any of the 50 smarter things you could have done.
Because playing them on the screen involves demuxing audio and video, decoding audio and video, usually using two different but complex codecs, some which have extensive capabilities and features (think multilingual subtitles, interactive menus, etc etc). Oh surely your video player should allow you to pause and play with a remote control, right? More code surface. We probably need an ability to check for updates. And so on and so on.

But even without anything more than open, decode, play - anywhere a vulnerability exists could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.
An excellent write up of the changes in perspective which occur with experience. No organization is optimal and neither are we. The key is to incorporate these details into planning. For example if the organization can't set durable goals, don't start a 3 year plan.

Don't passively accept it, or become fatalistic about dysfunctions. If there are achievable changes to make, try to make them within your sphere of influence. Do what you can to produce positive changes, but don't allow frustration to lead to cynicism. Think of layer eight problems as engineering constraints like any other.

Very true. There is a lot of existing working code that is not going away and will even still need to be maintained for decades.

Can be done in Python/Rust

Why is that? Rust has equally high performance data structures. Even more perfortant in some cases (restrict by default, destructive move, easier concurrency)

It might, but it doesn't, because I don't only use Rust.

Yeah, the main problem with dependent types being used in low-level programming is that they're now able to perform arbitrary computation. That's why I think castrated dependent types might do the trick, since if you accept only integer indices as parameters to types, then you can boil down type checking to constraint solving without actually performing arbitrary computation.
