This is just about the laziest unimaginative solution. What drove you to this solution? Do you have such low interest or investment in the problem so you would prefer some larger entity like the government just hand wave away this problem?

With how many examples exist of the government getting involved at levels of industry they clearly don’t have the expertise for and how everything gets batshit expensive when they get involved or how many examples you can draw from communist countries, a normal person would get the hint that this kind of blanket regulation is toxic and evil and would stop being proposed as solutions.

That is only impossible if you have not meticulously specified operational domain. Once you have operational domain specified, you can enumerate each and every tiny little detail that can interact.

In safety critical systems design specifying operational domain is quite literally one of the first things that are done, even before any serious work on the design starts.

The only reasonable phase where safety critical systems can be interacted with closely monitored public are acceptance testing that either validates the model or drags the team back at drawing board.

My family has a genetic disorder very similar to Stargardts disease which is a form of macular degeneration (loss of central vision). I have it, my mother has it (who is technically challenged/stubborn... lol), two of her brothers have it, her father had it, etc.

MY mother is also an avid reader but the disease is progressed much too far for her to read anything without a powerful magnifier and even then she can only read 1-2 letters at a time which is too slow to actually read a book. What she has done is change to audio books many years ago.

In Canada we have the CNIB (Canadian Institute for the Blind) that can facilitate purchase (at a discount if necessary) and training/setup of specific readers designed for the bling/near blind. They have a library of books that can be loaded (for free here for people who are blind/near-blind). She will 'read' 1-5 books a week depending on what else she is doing. I would be surprised if there was not a similar organization in your country. Most libraries here also have free audio books that can be rented/borrowed.

The device is a Victor Reader, https://store.humanware.com/hca/victor-reader-stream-handhel... and although is quite expensive has simple enough navigation that even my mother can use it. It's quite robust, she just recently replaced hers after nearly 8 years of daily use.

I would highly recommend you get her familiar with/using such a device BEFORE she is seriously visually impaired. It's always easier to learn those sort of things while you still have sight and are younger.

As for the 'crosswordy' stuff, I see two options,
1. go digital and get her TV (hopefully larger size) hooked up to some sort of computer that she can access them from.
2. If they are only available in print, there are CCTV magnifiers that can help people read/use books. https://store.humanware.com/hca/low-vision-reveal-16.html Again, crazy expensive.

I'm just starting my serious degeneration (still have my drivers license but likely for only a few more years) but I'm using large monitors (32") and handheld magnifiers (many types, here is my current favourite but it's heavy https://www.lighthousecanada.ca/bright-field-magnifier-with-...). For me, I 'lose' the location of the mouse pointer and thus have significantly increased the size and contrast of it. Dark mode is also very very useful for me as white text on black is readable, where the black text on white overloads my vision and I can't see anything.
There are many enhancements on Win10/11 for the visually impaired. You can also even get specific software that will read what's on the screen and, as long as you are already familiar with how computers work, can still use a computer even totally blind. Phones are the same. Get to know the features before losing significant sight as they are finicky on something like a phone.

Good luck with your mom, I know the struggle with someone technically challenged and, with my mom, stubbornly thinks it won't help her at all so she doesn't even try... Sigh....
When you guys are talking about legalization in the context of OF, what are you talking about? What’s illegal about the site now, and where is it illegal?
And most car gas tanks are no longer made of metal.
"contract" is a wrong term, that's what I always arguing, because it has nothing to do with the legal meaning of the term. Here it's a public (i.e., "deployed") code. It just exists.

Regarding "profiting", it is a good question, and that's what I don't understand in this case. To my understanding there is no direct fees in Tornado Cash. But there are Relays, which, to my understanding, allow to withdraw to a fresh address and take a small fee for that. Anyone can run a Relay, and the use is optional. I think those guys were running one of them too.

A Relay doesn't know who is who and cannot limit withdrawals of money deposited by a sanctioned entity. But as they were told that some of transactions are likely illicit, even though they don't know which particular, they knowingly profiting off it in general. That's very broad and later can be applied to anyone.

Similar can be applied to mining. In general ETH, miners do know the addresses and they do not accept transactions that include sanctioned addresses. So they are fine. But for Monero example, it's the same problem. Even though they don't know the transactions participants, they may make profits off illegal transactions.

Recently there was an episode of 99% that touched on this. https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-country-of-the-bl... In it they refer to country of the blind (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/635964/the-country-...).

You might be unfamiliar with how that monitoring works. It is not a blanket ban but it is close.

If you have that diagnosis and are taking medication for it, you are prohibited from flying for the next year (pretty bad for having an income) and out several thousand in tests while your case works its way through an exceedingly slow system.

You're also limited to exactly one of four medications, and if it ever changes you get to go through that process again.

Is it any wonder people conceal their issues or don't bother getting treatment when that's how it goes?

Twitter was doing just fine when it banned nazis and covid disinformation. to call this "a more sanitized and boring experience" is textbook black and white reasoning. moderation is hard, but twitter's new "moderation is the CEO personally bans the accounts he's personally offended by, while people who share child exploitation videos are celebrated and paid cash" [1] is not the way to do it.

That kind of sounds like Mojo.
PHP really took a great turn with PHP 8.

It introduced such drastic breaking changes, that probably a lot of systems which were previously serving unsafe and error-prone code to their users will be abandoned. Projects that should have been updated ages ago and served their users dangerous code.

It fixed the order of parameters in join statements.

It fixed calling static functions without declaring them as static.

It fixed adding properties dynamicly to objects.

It fixed string handling for many functions where Null was rendered as an empty string.

And these changes make PHP code more secure. There is now no way around adding more declarations to your codebase than before.

Most of these breakages had 70% votes in favour:

Is it completely gone, or rather just for you, blocked by sysadmins who know Perl is the magic pixie dust for total control, and want to keep it for themselves?

In Windows-land, compare how PowerShell access may be restricted, and you won't be allowed to run macros in Office, all while your computer is "managed" by a horrible hodge-podge of PowerShell and VBA scripts that make Perl code look like high literature.

The annotation does need to be propagated backwards to callers and declarers - and there needs to be a way to "annotate" an existing pointer in the scopes where you've proven that it's not null - but that's better than having no annotation at all.

(Although this is something I'd 100% want C++ to do, and not with an annotation but with a very short operator or reserved word.)

Until liability is on the manufacturer, I'm really not interested in self-driving cars.

Currently, when you use "self-driving", you need to pay more attention not less, because the system adds an additional unpredictability calculation to your driving, that you wouldn't have if you were just driving in the first place.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have a car I could tell to go the shop and get serviced. Or come to the airport to pick me up. Do I think that could happen? Maybe sooner with infrastructure support (but that'll be expensive), so realistically I'm pessimistic.
So the risks have more to do with adoption of the language than the language itself?

I studied Fortran in my college programming languages class (in the early 2010s) and loved it! Always wondered why it isn't used more.
Basically, it's when the wet-bulb temperature exceeds 35C. From the Wikipedia entry:

"It has been thought that a sustained wet-bulb temperature exceeding 35 °C (95 °F)—given the body's requirement to maintain a core temperature of about 37°C—is likely to be fatal even to fit and healthy people, unclothed in the shade next to a fan; at this temperature human bodies switch from shedding heat to the environment, to gaining heat from it"

And? They still perceive the senses they can still access accurately.

> In that same vein, altering our senses by taking various substances expands our perception of the universe in a way a person who doesn't will never experience.

I agree except replace "expand" with "confuses". It makes our perception of reality incorrect.

> My point is that choosing to do so or not is fine, and neither is better than the other.

One is objectively better than another. Try driving a car on a strong LSD trip. You can't, because it isn't allowing you to have an accurate perception of reality.

> So my objection is to your claim that the people who do make that choice are deluding themselves, or not experiencing "true" reality.

You haven't adequately justified your objection.
Strong disagree.

It’s not about the syntax, it’s about understanding the resource management model lambdas add on top of the existing mess.

There is no good reason to use lambdas except parametrization of stl algorithms.

Don’t use them as part of api design. The only thing you gain is one more level of complexity on reasoning resource management.

Yes, to be specific, one should know how they work, and then not use them.

This is in the context of C++ being a minefield of practically infinite complexity, in which the only way to survive is to pick the language subset you know you are able to handle, and stick with it.

Of course, every party picks their own subset :)

Some people love to claim that electric cars will be more reliable due to mechanical simplicity. And yet somehow the highly complex Prius is still far more reliable and durable than any Tesla. It turns out that simplicity doesn't help if your engineers and assembly workers are incompetent and badly managed.
Er, your comment is the one lacking nuance. There was no snow here, nor did I claim accidents never happen. I was trying to get across a point about the parent's argument.
I think you are misinterpreting it. The entire point of the book is that innovators at one point need to disrupt their own innovation at a later point or be disrupted by others. I.e. they cannot rest on their laurels forever. So they clear did do something wrong and didn’t make the right decision.

Google is the epitome of a company that rested on its laurels, became the very evil they ostensibly didn’t want to become, forgot how to innovate, and treated their customers with hostility. Good riddance.
Duh?

Was this really not already well understood?
Right, that’s what I mean: pilots are not legally permitted to stop showing up for work. They could stop anyway in an illegal strike, which is what the ATCs did in 1981, but this would be a very high-risk gamble.
Yes and you're not allowed to do your own electrical work unless you get a temporary license and pass inspection so I'm not really sure if this is the best argument. Also at least in my state there are no 3rd party gas lines for this reason, the only people allowed to install or do maintenance on them is the gas company that is defacto state controlled.

I don't think there's anything in my house that is as dangerous as a large lithium battery and that's before counting that hoverboards and ebikes that do nothing but put stress on them unlike say a laptop that just sits on a desk.
All I want is somewhere the local fire station, mayor, power company, and transit companies, etc. ca share their updates in an easy to find place.

Twitter solves real problems for them, but with the last year of changes clearly doesn’t value the requirements that use case needs.

If a company goes bankrupt, short sellers do not have to buy the stock to return it. The stock ceases to exist and the position is closed.

Agreed about irrational retail investors keeping the price of Bed Bath and Beyond and Sears above $0.

Hilariously, the creditors/BBY management saw the price and sold stock into that crowd right before bankruptcy. The prospectus literally said something like "we plan to go into bankruptcy soon and this stock will be worthless, it's just providing slightly more value for our creditors" but meme stock traders bought it anyway.
Not mentioned in the article, but pretty widely circulated in the astronomy community when it happened, is Avi's utterly disrespectful and frankly uncalled for vituperation onto Jill Tarter in response to her public criticism of his (self-demonstrating) Messiah complex: https://www.forbes.com/sites/startswithabang/2021/02/16/watc...

For those out of the loop, Jill Tarter is a SETI legend, who has dedicated her life's work to a principled search for extraterrestrial life, of exactly the kind that Avi has claimed to have been neglected by the scientific community (to obviously self-aggrandising effect). The arrogance here is just astounding. This man is a toxic and hypocritical bully, and this bad behaviour should not be rewarded even if he were correct (which, as the article describes, appears unlikely).

Conveniently we can actually compare:

https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/keywords.html
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/keyword

And they're even both provided in (mostly) alphabetical order, which makes this easier for humans

Rust doesn't reserve type names as keywords, which seems like an eccentric choice in C++ (e.g. wchar_t is a keyword!) although perhaps given how fraught parsing is in C++ they had no choice.

The common keywords are: break, const, continue, else, enum, extern, false, for, if, return, static, struct, true, union and while.

true and false are just boolean values, although given C++ like many languages considers "false" to be true, and 0 to be false, I guess it's a surprise they bothered making these keywords.

const, enum, union, static, and struct are about types and values. The choice to have "const" mean "immutable" not "constant" in C++ is hilarious, yeah that's going to cause wider issues in how your programmers understand software. I think C++ enum is rather sad, here's a whole kind of type and it's basically abandoned, it's not allowed to have features the other types have, for no discernible reason. Rust's enum really shows how much opportunity was wasted there.

break, continue, else, for, if, return and while are indeed control flow keywords, although what they do in Rust varies quite a lot from C++. Rust's for is a for-each, it consumes an Iterator (literally, it's a syntax sugar for a loop which uses IntoInterator::into_iter and breaks when the iterator is exhausted) and Rust's break can break-label-value, which is a violently different thing than the C++ break even though the obvious beginner syntax looks identical.

try, do and virtual are reserved in Rust but are not currently used (in stable Rust) to mean anything, we can expect that try is likely to some day be used for a related but different purpose to its cousin in C++.
Usually, the safer replacement for Lithium Ion would be LiFePO4. Although I don't know how good performs in e-bikes (I guess it should be fine, as they're used in cars and other stuff...)
The German Crash.
They instituted a preventative measure in 2015, already gone by 2017.

Low Cost is always the most important thing. Lives are cheap.

Unless there are like 2-3 crashes in a year, directly attributable to mental health, then the decision will be to let pilots suffer, it is cheaper.

Aviation authorities swiftly implemented new recommendations from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency that required two authorized personnel in the cockpit at all times but, by 2017, Germanwings and other German airlines had dropped the rule.
