If I had to make a wild guess, on top of a lot of ways of handling this technically, there's probably a set of business-policies they follow in the event of some problem like a room being double-booked, or a lodging otherwise becoming unavailable after the reservation is made.

> In the (hopefully rare) event of a problem, they probably try and keep people happy through a standard playbook of things like refunds, giving future coupons or discounts, and trying and arranging alternative lodging.

> Even if their databases could somehow guarantee to be perfectly consistent and no random booking problems occur, they still need those standard policies in place to deal with random hotel problems like flooding or other problems.

Indeed, the FFI in Nim is really great, and with ARC it's so much easier to properly integrate with the malloc/free lifecycle that most C libraries use. The full wrapper for this project is here: https://github.com/PMunch/mapm-nim and I've already converted a calculator program of mine to using this instead of floats by simply just swapping out the type. Checked with Valgrind and besides finding some bugs in another external library it was happy.

There's no carve out for "a really good reason". The Government may not "abridge the freedom of speech".

It can make educational posters, it can distribute information, but it can't use it's authority to limit the speech of others.

> It's not the governments job to decide what speech is "correct" in the US at least under the current judicial regimes interpretation of the laws. There are some very narrow exceptions but this is not one of those.

I mean, the court seems to agree with this statement but it makes absolutely no sense to me. The classic example is yelling "fire!" in a movie theater because people might get hurt.

This seems like the same kind of thing but much, much more harmful.

EDIT: ok the "yelling fire" thing is not a great example, here are some others to jog your intuition that maybe your understanding of the concept of free speech needs to be fleshed out a bit:

What about telling someone that a loaded gun is just an inert replica and giving it to them to use as a prop?

What about telling someone that your company has a bunch of clients and tons of revenue when you are raising money as an investor?

What about if you put the wrong ingredients on your food product and it kills someone with an allergy?
> I'm honestly shocked that people think this is a case where the government should not step in. I think they should have been much more aggressive.

The United States government lacks the right to do this in essentially all cases because it's a right retained by the people. It's a pretty nice right and ought to be protected, which it -- usually -- eventually is.

> H1B is exploiting the rules for cheap labour. It does benefit the H1B holder - since they would otherwise not have signed up.

H1B, L1 etc visa schemes make you indentured to the system. The longer you stay and invest in your home and social life (which as a human you have to, otherwise you become a mindless drone), the more you are indentured to the system. Indenture is built into the visa contract – you cannot quit your current employer and stay unemployed even for a short period of time – even though you did contribute social security every single month, even though you paid all taxes every single month – you get no benefits.

So, you are in constant fear of losing your job and having to throw away your entire investment here. This means you will be pliable in many ways you would otherwise not be. You can be denied promotions, you can be given shitty/grunt work, you can be given borderline unethical work, you can be asked to fire other people in unsympathetic ways, you can be asked to work weekends and nights without any overtime pay, you can be asked to travel very long distances for work in economy class and so on and you shall not complain.

You can only suffer silently until you get another job. Btw, you cannot get any random job you like. You have to get a job where the employer is willing to go through the rigmarole of visa process - which narrows the field significantly.

> Like a slave they might be lucky and have a good master.

Can't take this kind of hyperbole seriously.
See this is where undefined got lost somewhere. As a layman undefined appears to mean a specific thing here. "undefined by the specification because it does whatever the hardware does" in this context it should never mean "can not happen because it is undefined by the specification". Heck, I don't think it should mean that in any context. whenever a thing is undefined, it is almost always because there is varying hardware that the specification is trying to accommodate.

Probably not. The fact that making presentations got easier just caused many more (often unnecessary) presentations in my experience.

My issue is that I think while a Ministry of Truth may have good intentions, it will do more harm than good.

Based on the principle that the counter to misinformation is better information, not less misinformation.

> The scientific consensus

The issue is that this isn’t a fixed thing and changes in real time. So it’s challenging to know what the “consensus” is now, especially if your goal is to filter out wrong or anti-consensus, what method do you use to decide what is allowed and what isn’t?

Finally, while Covid is serious and millions of people died. Diabetes and drug overdoses kill as well. We would be better served by limiting the misinformation that is ads for pharmaceuticals and coca cola.

I think people buying sugary drinks over the past 50 years killed more than many diseases. [0]

So I feel like the harm caused by trying to filter social media messages by the government is greater than any potential benefit.

> The classic example is yelling "fire!" in a movie theater because people might get hurt.

This commonly brought up example is a complete garbage. It was first brought into American jurisprudence during WWI

In fact, this case illustrates exactly why we ought not to criminalize speech. The phrase first entered American jurisprudence in Eugene v Debs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_V._Debs), in which the government tried to prosecute an anti-war protester. Do you think the anti-war guy was popular in his time? Do you understand now why the government has no business policing speech?

In the United States, short of direct threats, you can always say whatever you want. It's a fundamental human right, and frankly, no government has a moral right to take that away. This idea is foundational to American democracy. FFS, civil rights group will defend your right to proclaim 'hate speech' in

Trying different ad networks for my indie game. Any you could recommend?
So I've tried Reddit, Facebook and YouTube promotions. Twitter Ads wouldn't run but that's because I think you need to subscribe now. I have Adsense still in it's learning phase and I plan to try TikTok soon.

Out of the ones tried up to now YouTube promotion was the most useless and Reddit wasn't worth it as any normal posts I've made on my game have preformed better than the ad.

Weirdly Adsense seems to have performed better than all the ad networks upto now just in it's learning phase. I will write an update with performance numbers once I finish this little experiment.

Are there any other ad platforms you could recommend?

You can set a breakpoint on your normal method and you can see if any proxy object was introduced by the annotation in the call stack and set a breakpoint there. You can also just see the usages of the annotation to see where and how it is being used and set a breakpoint there.

Anyway, going back to my original question, similar criticism is equally valid when you do metaprogramming in lisp/python/ruby. Why are these concerns only raised in the context of Java?

> As a layman undefined appears to mean a specific thing here. "undefined by the specification because it does whatever the hardware does" in this context it should never mean "can not happen because it is undefined by the specification".

Actually, undefined means "undefined by the specification". It doesn't matter what the hardware does. The specification allows the hardware to do whatever it wants. It's perfectly valid to wipe your hard drive if you trigger undefined behavior.

> The classic example is yelling "fire!" in a movie theater because people might get hurt.

This is legal [0], and is a misunderstanding. The case where this came up was overturned as yelling fire falsely is crime depending on the circumstances. And yelling fire truthfully is never a crime.

If there’s a fire in a crowded theater, you definitely want people yelling fire. And trying to limit them will lead to more deaths, not less.

"When is it OK to take a wrong/bad action in order to prevent some really wrong/bad event?"

"How wrong was this action?"

"How bad does the event have to be to justify the wrong action?"

"Who is responsible for making the judgment call?"

"If that party shirks, does it fall to anyone next?"

"Who is morally accountable for the bad event given that it could be avoided via certain actions?"

The scientific consensus you refer to gives important and helpful facts that inform this discussion by characterizing the bad event in detail. But the scientific facts cannot answer the foregoing questions, as you hope, because it provides no insight on any of the other facets. That's why there's debate and discussion rather than an open and shut case.
