> They are also already covered by existing laws

The First Amendment supersedes law by determining whether it can be law at all, so whether it's covered by "law" is actually only half the story.

> The examples you brought up as arguments to why free speech can't be absolute

I started with deliberately stupid examples to make my point: Free Speech was always clearly limited, by necessity.

> it's pointing how its protections are rendered moot

That in itself is debatable. What evidence do you bring that this is somehow worse than it used to be? It used to be the case that, to get _any_ significant speech, you had to get your work published. Now you can just shoot it off on Twitter, Reddit, HN, take your pick.
I find this to be an incredibly well-balanced and mature measure of one's self. You should be proud that you were able to reach this level of self-reflection and clarity. Many people never get there, so kudos to you.
adding upon this comment to why the two cardinalities are not equal, on one hand we have the set of integers {..., -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ...} and they can be put into a bijection with the set of natural numbers {1, 2, 3, 4, ...}, this is done by rearranging the set of integers like {0, -1, 1, -2, 2, -3, 3, ...}. so this is a countably infinite set (one that has a cardinality of ℵ_0)

As for the set of real numbers, we have the subset of irrational numbers which are uncountably infinite (see cantors diagonalization argument) thus making the whole set of real numbers, a set whose cardinality is ℵ_1.

The annotated turing book goes into this pretty well in the first couple pages.
Recently, I have been watching the course MIT6.824. This article appeared very timely :)

Here is another raft implementation in Go https://github.com/eliben/raft
None of these articles give a concrete example of what a "processed food" is. They say "sugary snacks" are processed. So if I bake a cake with whole wheat flour and a little sugar and eggs, is this processed? Or like "processed foods are high in carbohydrates." So should I stay away from all bread? What is the actual carbohydrate count in a piece of bread that would be considered processed? They say stay away from frozen food, which is processed, but they say to eat fish. A lot of fish is sold frozen. Is this fish processed?
Depends who you follow, right?
C99 also lets you do this:

void foo(size_t elem_count, int elems[elem_count]);

Unfortunately this constraints the argument order. C23 fixes that with something like this:

void foo(size_t elem_count; int elems[elem_count], elem_count);

(Might be slightly wrong, going from memory.)
Worst case the client wants the new system to emulate the old system, so yea, you need a lot of customization.

China is outcompeting Germany as a manufacturer of high value goods, particularly cars [1][2]. Last year it overtook Germany as the second biggest car exporter. In the first three months of this year, China has surpassed Japan to become the world's top car exporter for the first time. This is due to its strength in EVs (while Germany's strength is in ICEs). Volkswagen holds a 2% share of the Chinese EV market while the Chinese BYD dominates with 40% (Tesla in second at 10%) [3]. It won't be long until Europe imports more cars from China than China imports cars from Europe. If you had said this only a few years ago most Europeans would have laughed in disbelief.

With a world moving away from ICE to EV, and with Chinese brands winning at home and abroad, it presents a double whammy nightmare for Germany. Lowered exports to China, plus lowered exports in other markets. And this is all on top of energy prices from the fallout of the conflict in Ukraine, the shut down of nuclear power thanks to the Greens and the geopolitical tensions between the West and China.

While Germany's economic model has served it well during an era of a rising China, it may not be the case in a era of a risen China.

Like what? You don't invest in hot dogs or toilets, do you? And water shouldn't be controlled like Nestle would like to.

Shelter is one of the basic requirements in the Maslow Hierarchy of Needs sense.

Food, water, shelter.

And that's shelter in more than just a "tarp keeping water off my head" sense; how can you accumulate anything if you can't store it safely? If you have to push a cart around will all of your possessions how do you have time to do things like training? If you can't keep a pair of work pants out of the elements how are you going to keep a job?

Plus there is the privacy, comfort, sleep without disturbance thing. Hard to be a productive worker or kind human if you're terrified of getting robbed in your sleep (or worse).
Thing is, each OS has its own design language and conventions. Trying to make one UI look and feel great in all of them is doomed to fail and feel awkward in all of them.

Yeah, I don't think it would be any cheaper, or any likely to meet success. Succesful software development is hard, whether you hire a consultancy or are a non-software company trying to create an in-house department.

Software around workflow (an ERP) is one of the most challenging areas. Because it is hard to shoe-horn it into a universal pattern, or figure out what a given organization actually needs (not always what they say they need).

To do it in-house succesfully requires a level of healthy functioning in the organization as a whole (to be able to figure out and decide functional requirements, to prioritize, to give engineering the environment where they can be succesful, etc) that few organizations have.

And with current software engineer salaries (and UX designer, product manager, etc), even if all your cards are in order for success (very rare), few could afford it. It am confident it would not be cheaper than the big ERPs; you'd hope it would at least reliably end up better/less bad than the big ERPs for the cost, but I'm not confident of that either.

The current media narrative is to exaggerate all the downside and showing none of the upside or natural restorative patterns.

If we stop CO2 production (will happen thanks to entrepreneurship and some incentives) nature will soak it up rapidly.

Corona is not natural, it was manmade. All point in that direction. If we want to prevent this from happening again we should stop experimenting with virus (not happening). So yes, I agree we will probably see something worse, but not because of climate change.

People are saying this isn't how it should be, but I want to share that this is closer to how I experience the world than not.

The attitude of desiring to learn is what keeps me sane, but I've learned that feedback like "X is bad" often comes from someone's subjective experiences in a particular situation. They then take that and apply it globally. It's hard to have conversation with such strong opinions.

Having a trusted coworker who has a disagreement, followed by a healthy conversation will result in either the change they want, the original staying, or a new solution that's better. Growth can come from all 3, depending on the mindset going in.
In Germany it is common to have a fixed rate for 10 years or so. Sometimes you get only 5 years fixed, sometimes 15. After that, you either accept the new rate on the existing contract, or refinance somewhere else (if cheaper with the new rate and fees).

There are mortgages with yearly adjustments, but those are rare afaik.

> the secrets of life come in contradictory tuples

A great phrase for what I've been noticing about my life as well.

{"You should be okay with who you are", "You should always strive to be better"}, or {"Desire is the root of suffering", "Being passionate about a goal is the only way to fulfillment"}

Finding the nuances in these phrases and living in the bubbles where they are not actually contradictory has given me a lot of peace.
Funny that it actually happens in a lot of locations with tourists. Also Chinese restaurants in the US often have a “real Chinese” menu and a regular menu in English.

I don't think that it's possible to seperate diet from exercise meaningfully enough for most people.

The optimal diet for someone who is completely sedentary is going to be completely different to the optimal diet for someone who gets a reasonable amount of exercise, and it's not going to be a flat multiplier.

The protein needs of an athlete are completely different. Simple carbohydrates are processed differently if eaten prior to heavy exercise. That's just the basic stuff.

The best advice I've read is to just eat and move like a mature adult.

That doesn't necessarily mean never having a sweet or a beer, but it does mean prioritising full real meals over stuff like donuts, cakes, 50g sugar "coffee" drinks etc.

Asking for Participants for My Study
Hi, I need your help!

My name is Madalena and I'm currently doing my thesis in Computer Engineering and its goal is to better understand the strengths and challenges of individuals with autism in the software development field, specifically in code review.

If you have a diagnosis in autism and have a basic knowledge of software development and code reviews, then you are a great fit to my study.

Participation in this study involves an interview, which will take approximately 30minutes and can be conducted online or by text. The interviews will consist of questions about the participants' experiences and perceptions when working in software development. Additionally, participation is voluntary, anonymous and compliant with privacy regulations such as GDPR.

If you are interested please fill in this form and I will contact you: https://forms.gle/XYN7EvrMKtXxHWB9A

I'm glad you said this. Our industry is full of people who quantify that their job is "easy". We have a history rife with these assertions, including a period of time where we thought everyone would want to code and that we were just trailblazers. I think that hypothesis is becoming less and less true in interesting ways every day. The most I've seen is people interacting with very facade levels or niche implementations of languages to do their jobs. Even then, those are mostly scientific fields to begin with.

"I don't understand the confusion on this topic. One side will pay the family of a suicide bomber that murders innocent civilians, the other won't. It's not complicated"

Not complicated?

Just compare the civilian casualties on both sides. Afaik they are way higher on the palestine side.

When the IDF bombs a refugee camp, to take out one terrorist, they still consistently hit bystanders.

And before the IDF was military dominant, plain terrorism from the israeli side happened as well:

And still happens:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/feb/27/israeli-settle...

With every death, there is more demand for revenge. And the Hamas stand for revenge, which is why they are formally in power.

I honestly don't know of a more complicated conflict.
I agree with you (born 1977). Saw Alien sometime in 80s

Alien would be a solo but forgotten masterpiece like Man Hunter until James Cameron made Aliens.

“Mother” is kept mysterious in Alien, relying too much on 1970s zeitgeist of technology. I kept expecting a Dream Scene which were all the rage in 1960s/70s.

Good contrast with Jaws, I would also add Blues Brothers from the same period. Excitement possible even in those days.

That's a pretty serious step with the federal government directly limiting what every business can do. I'm not actually sure if that would even be constitutional given that it severely limits how potentially privately owned businesses set their own terms of use.

Defining what those limits are is entirely arbitrary, how do we pick a number that makes sense universally? Is that number adjusted for inflation, population size, business market share, etc? Does this only apply to financial service businesses, regulated financial institutions, or any business? What's the legal definition here for freezing an account?

Use of copyrighted material in such a way that it’s aggregated into statistical properties is almost certainly fair use. Use of the model to produce reproductions of copyrighted material then consuming or distributing it is almost certainly violating the copyright. But it was the facsimile of the material that’s the violation, not the abstract use of it to generate an aggregate model.
If you want to know how to eat, just ask someone whose job or hobby it is to compete in the fitness category of your choosing.

For example, if you want to know how to maximize muscle growth through eating, ask a competition level bodybuilder. Yes, they'll be on gear, but they'll still be able to tell you how you should eat and with the proper ratios to maximize muscle growth. They'll also be able to tell you how to eat cleanly because cutting weight is part of their competitive training cycle.

Likewise, if you want to know how to eat healthy, ask a fitness model. They make their money by looking good for cameras and will want to maximize that through their diet.

These folks aren't looking for fads, they've already learned, implemented, and lived what actually works from others who were also competitive in these fields.

I appreciate sharing it with your team. On the topic of getting updates from contracts, I've had a similar (frustrating) experience. One thing we offer to make that easier is a Slack integration to proactively alert the relevant stakeholders when an important event has happened with a contract. We also have an API and webhook for getting it into other systems.

For internal legal teams, the biggest motivator is often re-allocating their time to more strategic and/or more interesting work. They have a long list of other projects that they'd rather focus on if they can reduce their time spent on yet another NDA or routine sales contract.

For several years I've been using the naming conventions to drive configuration management and other tools. Ditched rack and DC identifiers years ago because.

1. Usually not a concern.
2. When it is, it's in ipam/dcim. Plus you can usually tell from ip address.

A simple format is: app-specific-general-tierNN. foo-mysql-db-p01, foo-nginx-web-p01

Then data is nested in a hierarchy using hiera, saltstack, or custom merge behavior in cdktf. Since the names are most specific to least specific it's easy to apply configuration for each section, letting the most specific configuration override on merge.

Easiest way to automate some of the annoying bare metal/vm requirements without bringing in or writing additional tools. You rack it, set the hostname in the idrac, then let dhcp and provisioning tools do their thing.
