This is not enforceable. It will be dodged by the dishonest and thereby drive compliant, honest landlords out of business.

Julia and R are esoteric? For Data Science? Also, Kotlin would be relatively low on the list of languages I would use for DS. F# is higher.

It is generally good to analyze a situation in those terms, but the frustration comes when spending a few hundred dollars would have saved hundreds of thousands. Alas, those few hundred would have come out of someone’s budget, and thus their bonus…
I've interpreted the "put out" in the initial comment as in "put out a fire" (i.e. mitigate), instead of "send out".

Is there any independent verification of this? Or any way of confirming any of the details?

I would be more interested in a critical article about where they failed to block a DDoS attack, and why. Plus what could be done in the future to mitigate.
> The point is that nobody wants their site to be broken

Nobody wants it but unless it's completely broken most don't care enough to do something about it. Which is why this JSON trick is done in the first place.

Given this is about Google: YouTube has the same bug in its comment text fields for at least 5 years, in rare cases submitting a comment only results in the error "n is undefined", it can't handle the browser's back button, sometimes links don't work until I scroll the site a bit, the new "preview video on hover" feature doesn't reliably react to mouse events and its animation swallows mouse clicks, and that's just the few things I remember off the top of my head.
I think there is a misconception what 'advising' means. Seems to be like a marketing term that consultancies came up with to describe their work. I'd argue consultancy don't need a lot of expertise. They don't advise in the sense of 'sharing ones wisdom'. They are highly qualified temps with strong work ethic.
Lua seems to be widespread in games, but in fact is a very nice tool to make day-to-day apps user-extendible (with neovim and mpv being a couple of examples).

There's also the book "Creating Solid APIs with Lua" by Tyler Neylon [1,2] which seems to be quite specifically addressing this idea of embedding lua in something so as to implement highly-movable application logic in lua rather than the something you started out with.

Sending credentials and cookies to third party sites is the original sin. It should have never happened. We keep it because it is useful for advertizers [1]. Same-origin is just a huge and complicated band-aid to close the gap. Without same-origin and credential passing, you could have really cool mashup apps - one page could scrape another (uncooperating) one and display the results in a new way. Heck, you could write a browser in a browser if you wanted.

[1] How would you implement third-party login and similar useful things without it? Your page's script could pass the neccessary cookies explicitly to the third party script, or you could go around the backend and have server A tell server B who a session belongs to.
It's not really about the reserve requirements, but about basic accounting requirements, which all banks do have. At its fundamentals, bank balances are not some storage of "your money", they are recording of how much the bank legally owes you (or vice versa). And of course the bank has to know exactly what liabilities they have according to their contracts, so they need to see the balances. They also need to be able to add arbitrary quantities of new money to the FHE scheme when cash is paid in and remove it when it is paid out.
The interaction between consultancies and companies is fascinating to me. It's like a weird mix of symbiosis/parasitism that occurs at so many different levels and between so many different types of companies.

And it's tied into issues with hiring and retention of staff so that's interesting as well.

Having said that I don't want anything to do with either side of the interaction. Happy to hear other peoples stories.
If surgery is completely ineffective at preventing massive suicide rates, why is it an option? Post-op transgender people still have extremely elevated suicide rates, therefore the surgery is ineffective.

Then you have transgender activists routinely attacking people in their own community who regret the surgery, and papering over the inconvenient truths about hormone blocking drugs (they cause permanent bone damage in children).

I'm not taken by arguments that routinely include tactics like death threats towards campaigners who speak out against dangerous hormone blocking drugs.

McKinsey in particular have a lot of controversy. So much so that googling for "mckinsey controversy" to refresh my memory brought in several different scandals from the one I was thinking of. Here's them and the French state: https://www.philonomist.com/en/article/mckinsey-origins-scan... , which seems similar to what the OP article is talking about. Here's a more general summary: https://www.trtworld.com/magazine/the-many-times-mckinsey-ha...

The risk with management consultants is that they tell management what they want to hear. This is great for customer satisfaction and repeat business. It's just that occasionally this causes real problems.

Things You Cannot Unsee (and What They Say About Your Brain) (2014)
As a security guy I would say this situation happens with reasonable frequency in REST web frameworks where developers are encouraged to use ORMs[0], and the design of Hyperfiddle/Electric is no more likely to fall victim to it.

I'd actually take a punt that it's less likely because of Clojure's data-orientation. Given that the above mentioned ORM-preferring frameworks typically have to define a whole new class and map the data from a server-side representation to a client-side representation, you're more likely to see developers not bother, forget or bungle the implementation aspect.

What I'm interested in is how Electric Clojure handles mass assignment (unconstrained deserialization)[1], sort of the flip side of excessive data exposure. If an (e/server) s-exp uses the symbol `is-admin?` will the server respect or discard values for `is-admin?` sent from the client?

Sure it’s combinatorial in any specific instance, but you can still identify how much each individual root cause contributed to the final outcome and then alter outcomes in aggregate that way.

For your example, if texting and driving is associated with 80% of pedestrian collisions but a drunk pedestrian is only associated with 5% of such collisions, you can probabilistically influence most potential outcomes by focusing your effort on the texting-while-driving root cause.
Good insulation (floor, ceiling and all walls) and properly fitting doors and windows already goes a long way. My apartment was renovated this way and when you turn the heating on when you come home the place is up to temp very quickly.

A lot of houses have badly fitted windows & doors. Put your ear near it and clearly hear sounds coming in through little gaps, or even feel a small air current.

Hold your hand up and look at it, now (without moving your hand) look at the wall (or whatever else) beyond it.

There is certainly truth to the claim that the brain abstracts over the raw sensory input. Reading, for example, would be a much more intractable problem if you had to do it in terms of photons hitting your retina instead of first abstracting the patterns on your retina into shapes, letters and words.

But the leap from there is some abstraction going on to reality is nothing like the abstraction seems not [well] justified to me. And we can check it, we can build all kind of sensors and machines that interact with the world out there, cut out consciousness in the process, and see if the sensors report a world very different from how we perceive it. And they don't.

There is of course a complication to this, constructing those sensors and machines and looking at what they are doing always has to pass through our perception, so maybe we accidentally build sensors that yield the same distorted version of reality as our brain does or the sensors are actually reporting a very different world but when we look at the sensor readings they get distorted to match the perception through our senses.

But given all the ways and angles from which we can measure things and then transform and represent the results before perceiving them, I have a hard time imagining how it could always be coherently distorted to match our normal perception without showing any inconsistencies.

And our perception and intuition is of course not perfect. Time and space, for example, are different from what our perception and experience tells us, but we managed to measure it and uncover the differences. But even in this case our perception and intuition are not really wrong, they are a very good approximation for everyday situations and only shows noticeable discrepancies in extreme circumstances.
Now I await someone pointing a camera at one - to create a random number generator like is done with lava lamps.

It sounds like you're dismissing the arguments purely by what you think it would mean to consider them seriously. "If these arguments are valid, then these conclusions are valid. These conclusions should not be valid. Therefore the arguments are invalid."

Why is it untenable that yes, data is data and it should move freely, and no, children should not be raped and filmed?

Managers do value the value of solving technical debt, because ultimately these changes maintain and improve the ability to deliver features. The problem is they often are unable to see how technical improvements affect the capacity to deliver. It doesn't help that developers also sometimes can't see it, and make mistakes overengineering or improving something that is of little value.

In this sense it is a bit like the prevention paradox during the pandemic. If you are successful in preventing an outbreak, people will hate you for it because most people only feel the pain of the measures they had to take, and the absence of an outbreak only shows them those measures were useless. Then, to worsen things, there are also genuine mistakes in handling the pandemic and those are forever used as proof the measures are useless and its proponents incompetent. It really takes a lot of discernment to cut through all this.
I hope the link gets changed to yours. It’s a better source and I’m boycotting twitter.
Consultancies are a way of ensuring best practices get shared across an industry without engaging in monopolistic behaviour
Speaking from Europe: after school is literally the most convenient time to practice for everyone involved too. And while sports are in non school clubs, some of them are indeed quite involved. Some are 3 times a week, others 1 time a week, but competitive ones are 4-5 times a week or more. By more I mean including weekend and sometimes morning practice. I know kids that have these amounts of sport now with dancing, soccer etc. I did swimming and we had 3 times a week morning practice back then.

I kinda feel like this is one of those situations where Americans think their system is exceptionally inferior ... in ways that are not actually that much dissimilar to what other countries do.
Patents aren't there to promote innovation, they usually do the opposite so the original inventor can make bank. There's no competition or incentive to perfect your product because you're a state enforced monopoly.

Take FDM 3D printers for example. Stratasys figured out and patented the first one almost 35 years ago and then proceeded to do fuck all with it, selling mediocre garbage for sky high prices. After it expired in 2009 3D printing rapidly became a whole industry with dirt cheap hardware, enabling millions to make things never before thought possible. We could've reached that point in the early 90s if it weren't for patents.

Sure one might say, it also forces the patentee to disclose the inns and outs of the invention, but frankly those patent descriptions are often as bare bones as possible and you'd get there reverse engineering any product far sooner than 20 years.

Sometimes it will happen since people are full of silly bias, but it should not be a problem if the other side has still a few working brain cells.
You completely lost the thread here, I have no idea what you're trying to say.
So help us understand then why this industry could not exist without patents?
I'm fortunately in a company where consultants have not entered, but the headline doesn't surprise me. It seems to be bog-standard advertising. "Detergent XYZZY, now with new extradirtase! Washes your clothes better and cheaper! Run to your supermarket! Now!!"

In a previous job, there were several hired people, two DBAs among them. They were almost part of the furniture, but everybody seemed happy with the arrangement. Their IT consultancy company sent a fat bill every month, and the VP of IT could move part of the personnel costs to another part of the ledger, which made the CFO happy.

I guess it takes two to tango.
> As agda is total, and requires everything be proved to halt.

Not quite; everything in Agda must either terminate or co-terminate. We can use co-termination to represent general recursion, e.g. using Delay:

data Delay : Type -> Type where
Now : {t: Type} -> t -> Delay t
Later : {t: Type} -> Delay t -> Delay t

It's trivial to write any program using Delay, e.g. if we have a function 'step: TuringMachine -> TuringMachine' which performs one step of any Turing machine, we can run any TuringMachine using:

run : TuringMachine -> Delay TuringMachine
run thisState = case thisState == nextState of
true -> Now thisState -- We've entered a halting state
false -> Later (run nextState)
where nextState = step thisState

This is similar to "infinite lists" in lazy languages (like Haskell); e.g. if we call 'run' with a non-halting TuringMachine, we'll get 'Later (Later (Later (...)))'
Good points and I mostly agree here… important to have healthy skepticism but I still don’t think previous well-deserved recognition should be deemed irrelevant in areas where trust plays a big factor (like where where anonymous sources can’t be verified).

If there are verifiable counter-claims/evidence then that’s where the action should be.
Every OLAP database that I've used supports MDX

That just sounds like unrealistic work expectations from the org being redirected into anger at parent employees. The issue is surely with the org as opposed to the employees that happen to be repopulating the earth. i.e. the non parent-employees should have access to the same level of freedom and if the org doesn't permit that or punishes the remainder somehow then that's the issue at play here.

There have been some Russian articles indicating that the Ukraine war gave a boost to the Russian economy, which is why it grew this year.

They were exhibiting nothing more than a purely objective opinion based upon the purest of evidence of course.

Many Russians would believe that the idea that an article like that used spurious evidence to push a pro war agenda absurd. Like being pro drowning, as you put it.

> Start with writing new code in Lua (faster to prototype) and then see if you need REALLY to move this code (or parts of it) to C++.

This is the only part of the article I disagree with. I've found that the biggest problem with using Lua in a C++ game is writing code in the "wrong" language, and the mess that can cause. The boundary between Lua and C++ needs solid validation to keep bugs out, and this makes it neither performant nor convenient, so minimising the boundary is important. As soon as code ends up in the wrong language, you generally need to add a large amount of unnecessary boundary code.

An important part of designing a Lua/C++ game for me is having a good mental model of what the "right" language to write any piece of code in is, and only deviating from that when performance mandates.
