My number one advice for handling difficult people is try not to internalize their behavior. It’s not about you or anything you did. It’s a “them” problem.

Articles like this can make people on the receiving end of bad behavior are somehow at fault because they’re not saying please/thank you, etc. it’s a common fallacy, for example, that victims try to anticipate an abusers behavior and take on their own shoulders managing the chaos that is the abusers mood. When in reality there’s nothing you can do.

I’ve learned trust is something you can’t lie to yourself about. It’s mentally so taxing to walk on eggshells constantly. The other side has to put in work.

And I don’t need justification for not trusting someone else. The burden on proof for trust should be relatively high. You can 100% just trust your gut without having to understand or diagnose the other side. In the same way you trust your gut when in love or other situations.
I'm just watching this as an observer, but I suspect a lot of it is:

People who want to write real-world Scheme code have a strong incentive for a single definition of the language so that their code will reliably run on multiple implementations. They want one language and are probably willing to deal with some breakage in places where implementations are alreaday incompatible in order to get there.

People who maintain Scheme implementations want backwards compatibility so that they aren't forced to rewrite a bunch of already working implementation code or try to support multiple different languages at the same time. They don't want to make breaking changes to their implementations and break all of their users in order to converge towards some other implementations' behavior they may not care about.

Teachers want a language that is maximally elegant and minimal. They are perfectly happy to make tweaks to the language to make it incrementally cleaner even if it breaks tons of existing code because most of their code is short-lived anyway.

Reconciling these very different incentives does not sound fun.

> The profits ... in the long run not exist - theoretically. ... somebody else is paying the price for their externalities.

Externalities like rampant price inflation due in part due to year 2020 government bailouts of cruise lines and rich business owner huge tax rebates. The elite have a moat protecting their government feeding trough. The rest suffer externality of rising prices due to that money printing.

I can understand that you think in specifics but think for a second about the general value principles behind e.g. digging oil out of the ground.

The value is the oil, the cost is the work for extraction and the pollution.

Somebody having done the work to get out the oil is attributed credits because they did the work, had the cost in this referential way that you complained about below. How many credits they get is determined by demand and supply, where theoretically everybody looks at all the costs and utility and comes up with their idea of a price and then the market clears.

Now, then problem evidently is: We didn’t consider the costs your extraction put on all of us, the pollution. It was just “nah it’s fine”, but all things considered it’s not. Maybe the calculation is so bad that you now owe us for putting this cost on us - which would incentivize nobody to do that again. But we didn’t do it, and we gave you so many more credits than you deserved on all rational arguments that the whole picture is skewed.
Because providing always accurate LLM-based paraphrasing would be much more difficult.

> Most graduates of Computer Science programs can, perhaps with some trouble, implement a half decent C compiler in a weekend or two.

I see you have not met most graduates of Computer Science programs.

> for any given piece of hardware you're more likely to find a random C compiler

This might have been true 10 or 20 years ago, but these days, C has grown so complex that the random C compiler is likely gcc or LLVM with not much else.

> you can churn out a C compiler quickly for almost anything given a spec of the hardware.

Who is doing this? There aren't a lot of new ISAs coming out now, and when they do come out, they usually put effort into porting either LLVM or gcc.
People take a lot of cues from clothes and hairstyles. Virtually none of the "people looked older" examples normalize that.
Are they actually bespoke compilers, or just some decade old fork of gcc that works for that chipset and is never updated again?

( I am not being facetious )
I don’t know why I read it this way, but I read “go private” as “closed source”. After reading, SUSE is no longer going to be a public company.

It's worse than that. It neglects that investments only are associated with emissions because they are one side of a trade that results in emission producing activities. While willing investment could be argued to be a necessary precursor of greater emissions, willing labor, amongst other factors, is also a necessary ingredient without which the emissions don't happen. Allocating some of that responsibility to those on the other side of that trade is appropriate for a more complete accounting.

However, if you read Dr. Starr's self-description I suspect there's a specific narrative he's looking for:

"My research analyzes how economic inequality – particularly at the very top of the income distribution – shapes the distribution of environmental benefits and harms through the global economy." (https://www.jaredstarr.com/about)

> Most graduates of Computer Science programs can, perhaps with some trouble, implement a half decent C compiler in a weekend or two.

Probably not. Compiler design (lexical+syntactical analysis and code generation) isn't covered by most basic CS bachelor's programs.

Theoretically, a CompSci graduate should be able to reference the necessary materials, ingest the theory and make a basic multipass, non-optimizing C compiler. But I would still be skeptical of a good chunk of recent (as in, lack of experience; not year of graduation) graduates; and would assume that it would take >4 days ("two weekends").
That's complete nonsense. There is a lot of evidence that Musk makes all the important decisions (like switching Starship to steel) while Shotwell seems to handle mostly day-to-day business. Moreover, Shotwell has, as far as I know, not actually founded any successful companies, while Musk has.

> happened at least three times over the span of around two years

Well, it's certainly difficult to speculate as to the causes of these past events. I can think of a slew of reasons you may have had the experiences you mention; ssl stripping being just one of them.

So, without being able to reliably reproduce the problem, I'm afraid your only recourse will be to stay vigilant and... have investigation tools ready (e.g. wireshark) for the next time it happens.
> The issue I have is that all these "security" tests (that customers run) will moan that an HSTS is shorter than 6 months and deduct heavily from a score.

There's a few ways to solve this:

Option 0) accept that in the case of a long enough LE outage[1], you'll be able to find another certificate issuer, or the carnage will be enough that HSTS is turned off in a browser update. Or it's related to some event in which you're going to be majorly disrupted anyway (you mentioned sanctions), and websites are not high on the priority list of concerns.

Option 1) detect the security testers and serve them an HSTS max-age that satisfies them, but serve other user-agents a max-age that satisfies you.

Option 2) serve 6 month HSTS on / which is used for tests; server something else on other resources. Also make sure / includes references to other resources that won't be cached. Last header served to the user-agent wins.

[1] I think most LE clients try to automatically renew once a day starting at 1 month away from expiration? so a one month outage is sufficient. There are other no-cost ACME issuers, and some ACME clients can be configured to have a priority list of issuers, so if your preferred option doesn't work, you can use another one.
> pay the current minority shareholders of SUSE 67% more than their shares are worth on the open market

For anyone who paid the IPO price of 30 EUR (and it went up to 40 in the months after the IPO), it would mean a realization of their losses. You'd be forced out of your position, down 46% compared to the IPO price. The PE firm probably gave a large chunk to banks at discount prices to facilitate the IPO, but still, this was a really good deal for them.

Even if they won't end up delisting, the jump of the stock price caused by their announcement will have done really good things to their balance sheets, and given that they will pay for the buy-out with a dividend, all it took was to move some money around from daughter company to parent company.

As someone who works on a combined language/core library team, it's really nice to have them both under the same roof. We can provide a much better overall user experience when we can design features that involve the language and core libraries working in concert with each other.

For example, we recently added tuples as a language feature to Dart, and also added a function in the async library that lets you await a tuple of futures in parallel and returns a future of the tuple of the resulting values.

When we added extension methods to the language, we also rolled out some extension methods in the core library.
Yep. We need to find a way to get rid of tracking entirely.
> a single, complete and extensive spec to read up on if all else fails

Did you try using the "single, complete and extensive spec" ? What for and how successful was that ?

The ISO C++ standard was published in 1998, so, about 25 years ago. One of the things it says, even in the C++ 23 standard that's likely to be published later this year, is that some input files have Undefined Behaviour during parsing.

But, wait a minute, Undefined Behaviour is a runtime property. Parsing isn't a runtime activity. This "complete" specification clearly was never even proofread. Which makes a kind of sense, it's an enormous sprawling document, why would anybody properly read it. But, if they actually don't, what's the point ?

The fix for this - hopefully to land in C++ 26 - is P2612, named "UB? In my lexer?" because it's been so long that even "It's more likely than you think" memes https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/its-more-likely-than-you-thin... are now dad jokes. But don't focus on this particular minor bug, which is not a big deal, focus on what it means about the value of the specification.

I wonder if being a parent is a factor as well? A quick Google search said that the avg age of a 1st-time parent in 1970 was 21 and in 2023 in the US it is 29.6. Stress and less time for taking car of yourself especially as you start developing adulthood habits/tendencies ?

Also: I think social media has played a roll in this. A comparison with all of your friends, acquaintances, extended family, etc is all just a scroll away. Everyone's social circles are less intimate and far larger, both of which lead to you not wanting to be compared negatively (ie close, intimate circle -> who cares what you look like)

Two weekends is ludicrously optimistic even if you're leaning heavily on existing parser libraries, but if you've taken a programming languages class, you can write a simple compiler for a large subset of C.
This is very cool, looking forward to it! I've been doing the same thing with Spanish Wikipedia articles for a while, using a few lines of Bash + Regex. I was using Apertium for it. https://apertium.org/ It's definitely worse than most ML-based solutions, but it works reliably, deterministic, and fast; you can run it entirely offline. With Spanish translations, the main problem I was facing is lack of vocabulary, so I created https://github.com/phil294/apertium-eng-spa-wiktionary which about doubles the amount of recognized words, albeit with wonky grammar.
They can do whatever they want on their own property.

If they want subsidized housing, they have to play by the rules.

It's not about banning "mind states". Once you have shared dorm-style housing you have to be more careful about the rules. If you have minors getting and/or being obviously drunk on your shared dorm-style housing and you do nothing, you're going to be in for a huge scandal as soon as one of those drunk minors does something harmful to someone else.

But let's think about this from a practical standpoint: If someone is quietly and safely getting drunk and then returning to their dorm unnoticed, nobody is going to know or care. This is a tool for them to exercise when people get out of line.
