> giving more power to big corporations and adding yet another bureaucratic hoop to jump through for small companies

Exactly. Customers need to be safe, but there also need to be paths for the mom-and-pop shops, the equivalents of your local farmer's market or grocery store.

Indiscriminate regulation can crush smaller players. Think of the indive dev accepting donations or the bootstrapped startup founder. Not everyone can get VC funding and hire a team of lawyers to keep up with it.

We need to protect small businesses AND consumers. Revenue thresholds are a good start.

> nobody can remotely come up with a reason for why Iran getting a nuclear weapon would be a positive development for anybody.

Whether it's a positive or negative development really doesn't matter. What matters is what actually happens once that occurs.

When India and Pakistan developed and tested nuclear weapons, we didn't see proliferation or development of nuclear capability in the region. Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, etc. didn't start their own nuclear programs.

So in the event Iran gets nuclear weapons, it's likely nothing of consequence will happen.
I don't think it's regulation, I think it's just a very hard market. Canadians have something like 20% less purchasing power than Americans, and I think a lot of entrants don't really appreciate that.
Plus the country is large and sparsely populated with entrenched retail competitors.

It's quite sad that Target murdered Zellers
(my grandma liked their restaurants!) but Target lost to Walmart (and its own ineptitude) not to any regulation. Walmart by contrasts entered pretty cautiously and fits well into the purchasing power disparity situation. I think if Target had entered cautiously they would have done much better -- open a few stores in the east near the border with easy logistics and grow from there.

You're not remotely alone in that; this thread is full of people thinking the same. Save up money, buy land, build a small home, become a small scale farmer. That's a fantasy, but quite realizable. OK, first the kids have to grow up and leave the house if you have kids -- if you're not going to have a large income, then you'd best not have large responsibilities. Maybe you can supplement with consulting. Or maybe you'd take a job for a few years then semi-retire again.
At least for Emacs, dealing with big codebases isn't a problem. Modern approach to dealing with this is to use language servers. This is also what VSCode does. So, suggesting you have better autocompletion in VSCode vs Emacs (or Vim) is just a sign of not knowing how that works, because they are, literally, doing the same thing...

> The CRA describes ’essential cybersecurity requirements’ which are well intended, and mostly ok, but leave a lot of room for interpretation. These requirements tell us to implement adequate denial of service & exploit mitigation techniques, for example, and no one can be certain what that means

Service exploit mitigation techniques? Really why didn't I just think about not writing bugs, and vulnerable code.
The claim you made: "there is no simple definition if you want to define man and woman."

Rayiner's response: "It can’t be that complex if virtually every human society came up with two distinct words to express the concepts."

"Two distinct words" plainly refers to the two sexes. Virtually every human society ("most of us") hit upon classifying humans into these two categories, with very rare exceptions that I'm sure you're itching to point out right now. You have tried to perform a sleigh-of-hand "gotcha" by pointing out that there are many words for women and many words for men, but you're barking up the wrong tree if you think you can gaslight a dog like me into believing that is a rebuttal of Rayiner's point.
You forget that the Iranian revolution of the 70s was a direct result of the Iraninan government and the shah being a western puppet state, and that the people actually overthrew that government in support of their own religious government, no external politics involved. In fact the West pretty much stood helpless as they really didnt want that happening, hence why the hostilities now. Since ancient times, Persia always went their own way, even after the Arab domination in the 8th century they emerged as a reshaped Islamic Persia, rather than just a province.

This is sorta true. CICS is a whole different topic all by itself, and is independent of COBOL. I've written CICS applications in COBOL, C, C++ and even Java.
Instead we give incentives for electric vehicles, presumably because they have fewer externalities. It truly is backwards.
Calling this a "religious reason" may be a bit too far, but using an OS of your own choice is pretty normal, right?

Nordstrom can be overpriced but they are a good outlet for some quality brands. Plus the experience of clothes shopping in person beats online anyday.
And they should be applauded for that. The tiered naming system is working as intended.
Geopolitical boundaries reduce the pool of people and therefore talent.

For an example in politics, larger expanding unions have typically dominated the world.

Roman Empire, Ottoman Empire, British Empire, arguable an "American Empire" spring to mind.

Isolationism typically causes the failure of these unions, cf. modern history "Brexit", USSR, North Korea etc.

The same holds for open source projects or any social endeavour.

Sadly it seems people are unwilling to put aside base tribalism in pursuit of a greater gain because of the fear that Johnny Foreigner may somehow better you by taking your work, isolating it and build on it, so you do it first.
This fear is not without justification, isolation can be the start of power transfer and how empires start (USA splitting from the British Empire for example, or the EU/NATO becoming larger, arguably Russia could be attempting this now by changing world order).
This policy now extends to our tech, including open source.

The only way to stop this that I can see is if the fear of loss from isolationism is greater (cf. the international space station, for Russia not having the ability to do cheap space research, for the US not be able to bring astronauts home or take up cargo cheap).

So that begs the question, how do you stop politics interfering in open source projects, how do you make the fear of loss of partnership outweigh the risk from Johnny Foreigner of stealing it?
“Because of controversy” seems like an unnecessarily dismissive way of putting it. It is entirely possible that she didn’t mind having her image used in and of itself.

Per their releases, core Nordstrom sales are 2x Nordstrom Rack sales and growing faster, so it was probably a more nuanced point.

Nordstrom's overall Gross profit is basically equal to Nordstrom Rack revenue, so it's nearly impossible for the majority of profit to come from Rack, unless they get their inventory for free.

If I had to guess, this was during the days when Rack was just starting and growing like a weed (back when execs and management probably thought it would be the next TJX), so it was the focus and what everyone assumed would be the core in the future.

For a variety of reasons (particularly the recent resurgence of designer brands due to social media), that never played out.
Unrelated to what he said. Tesla is at fault not because their system as flaws, they will always have, but because their marketing strongly implies it's something different than what it is, people believe the marketing (like in any market), and so for people it turns out the system does not work, since they compare it to expectations.

> Adding a pre-hash is the overhead here, because of the internal hash.

If it has no other purpose, then yes but only a small amount of overhead if the content is large because the internal hash is over a much smaller content. You have:

hash(<thousands/millions/more>bits) then hash(<hundreds>bits) & sign(<hundreds>bits)*

instead of

hash(<thousands/millions/more>bits) & hash(<hundreds>bits)

The bit you save, the hash(<hundreds>bits), is only significant if the input content is of similar size and you are performing the operation many times in quick succession.

That is true from the client PoV. Server-side you might want to integrity check your data as part of regular proactive maintenance.

In urban environments in high-density countries like South Korea it's fairly pervasive that you can use a phone app to call a driver. They will drive your car home for you.
No criteria will ever be “good enough”. Humans don’t evaluate their own mistake/crash/kill rate for strangers with the same reasoning and logic and emotion that they evaluate an outsider’s. Automated cars are an outsider, and so they’re held to an impossible standard: Zero kills, zero crashes, zero mistakes.

Tesla absolutely hurt the chances for AI driving, but it’s not one hundred percent their fault that the US population is xeno-hostile to robots. They would have been better off adding a Clippy chatbot to their cars than self-driving, because then people would be excusing their car’s mistakes as they would another human’s.

Not so since GDPR. GDPR is enforced at every level, including the individual. Whereas 10% of the global revenue of a megacorp only upsets the shareholders a little without ever risking the megacorps power, it can literally bankrupt or starve individuals and small businesses, most of which operate with thin margins.

This trend is similar to how the megacorps block out competition in the US by killing small businesses and making it very difficult to engage in economic or engineering activity through the regulations they sponsor.

This law in particular seems to be the product of the private German interests which at the moment dominate the Euparl. So, yeah, its happening in Europe now too.

While possible, the reports I've seen in the media suggest that Google/Waymo's are actually safe, Tesla's is only at the level of the average American driver on all roads despite being mostly limited to the safest roads, and Uber's is unsafe at any speed.

It is unclear if the short note is about regular expression refers to pattern matching techniques, an application like regex, or an internal command in some coding language like =~ and !~ in Perl.

I can use regular expression to parse CSV, it is just not pretty. Regex solutions do not need to be single runs.

I frequently use regex in multiple iterations to clean up the data be it in code or command line, then process it for one off scenarios.

> This is because a regular expression doesn’t store state.

This depends on how much state I need to store and in what context (see first sentence).
I've done something like his for HTTP APIs. Instead of having versions of the entire API, eg with paths like `/v1/user/9893`, each endpoint had versions. The client would request the specific version using the Accept header.

For example:

GET /user/9893
Accept: application/json; charset=utf8; version=1

No semantic versioning, just bumped the version number for each significant change. And yup, "significant" is in the eye of the caller, but it worked out well.

Now this is a bit different from TFA, because the server supported all the versions at the same time, so the caller could choose whatever mix of versions it wanted. This proposal is about assigning version numbers to individual functions rather than the library as a whole - essentially just a documentation/metadata change, with support from package managers.

Here's why this is relevant: the fact that the API was versioned this way had a big impact on how it evolved over time. At first it was pretty much the same as the usual `v1/user/9893` design. But as new versions of specific resources were added, it forced a decoupling of the underlying data model from the schema that were exposed in the interface. Each endpoint-version became an adaptor layer between the contract it offered to the caller and the more generalized, more abstract functionality offered by the data layer. That had costs as well as benefits. New endpoint versions often required an update to the data layer, which in turn required refactoring of older versions to work with the new data layer while continuing to adhere to their contracts. It worked out well, but it did require a change in implementation strategy.

I think the lesson for this proposal is that changing the way package metadata is handled is just the first step. Adopting it could then create pressure for mix and match packaging of the interface functions - "Hey can I get a version of this library with addFunction 1.2.16 and divFunction 2.0.1? I don't want to change all my addition code just to get ZeroDiv protection." That could be done with the right tooling and library design.

Or maybe it makes DLL hell worse because now you have to solve semantic versioning compatibility for every function in a library and that's slower and more sensitive to semantic versioning mistakes. You could get work-arounds like "only ever change one function when you release a new version of the library" or "just bump all the major versions even if they haven't changed."

Or maybe linkers would get built that can do the logic, like "when package A calls package B, use addFunction 1.2.16, but when package C calls package B, use 1.3.1"

Anyway, I don't think this proposal is sufficient on its own. It would either have ripple effects throughout the language ecosystem, or be ineffective because of developers working around it, or not be adopted at all.

"Now everyone is afraid of something that should be safer than the status quo."

I agree when talking about it at a population level. But that still doesn't mean much. The status quo is extraordinarily low, mostly due to people's lack of knowledge or bad decision making. These autonomous systems can address part of this on the reactive side (object in the way, apply brakes). It's still lacking in the proactive side (someone is weaving, maybe I should leave some extra following distance; I'm about to be rear ended at a light, let me pull ahead if its safe).

So yeah, the vehicles are better drivers than the worst people, probably better than average. But I'm not convinced they're safer than the best drivers, especially when looking at overall accident avoidance and not just accidents they're liable for.
I'm afraid of all cars! The environmental impact, the personal economic impact, the amount of space they take up that could be parks or farms or whatever.
This is very interesting. I’ve wondered if git could be a basis for democratic collaboration.

They're probably pretty close to right. When I think back to impaired drivers I've noticed on the road, the first two things I've noticed were inadequate lane-keeping and wild/baseless speed changes. Autopilot is good enough to mask those two signals. (I'm not saying this is a good idea; I'm just saying they're probably correct in that it reduces their chance to be pulled over.)
What % are afraid of human driven cars? 100% of me is.
