Living constitutionalism doesn't quite make sense to me, insofar as it means that the constitution means whatever we want it to say, which results in it not actually being a check on the government's powers. This isn't to say there isn't some ambiguity in the constitution, and that ambiguity can be beneficial. But the living constitution theorists tend to read more ambiguity in than actually exists.

This includes saying things like: constitutional review didn't exist until Marbury v Madison. This ignores that it was a thing under the various state constitutions, with it not being called out specifically, and that it falls naturally under the fact that SCOTUS has the power to decide all cases and controversies, and Stare Decisis combines with that to say that if SCOTUS decides one way on a constitutional issue, they'll continue to decide the same way on that issue, so if a lower court judge decides the other way, they'll get reversed when it gets appealed, probably summarily in a one line opinion of the Court.
Could someone recommend a book (ideally including problems sets with solutions) to get basic understanding of queuing theory?
That's an incorrect analogy. A more proper one would be if you stole Vonnegut's books, then wrote your work in his style after learning it from those books.

Its the result of almost every component of unity out of the box, being useless longterm. Its a similar thing with android. The operating system is just whats used to load librarys to replace all the things - camera detection, crypto etc. And one day you realize, that the operating system is just that thin metal layer and the bootloader.
Why API over database if computes are cheap?
It's pretty amusing how a bunch of teams are posting videos on how they built a specific, bespoke hardware/software component or two of MrBeast videos. This one was about the ~100 hardware button sets and LED strips required for the video. And here is another one [1] that is on how another team build 456 "detonator units" for the Squid Game video: also finished in the nick of time.

It seems clever for MrBeast to hire DIY YouTubers to do these bespoke jobs: it's a win-win even after the video, as they teams create their own "how we built this" video. It also gave me an appreciation for both how much work these massive videos are (we only saw one smaller part of the video, a hardware put together) and how chaotic it can all feel!

Nice question, to which I do not know the answer.

Note that Graphics[...] is also used to 'internally' define any internal graphical object, as you can see with InputForm[Plot[...]]. And the chosen syntax seems particularly easy to parse (so as to generate a bitmap, say). So maybe it was designed primarily with that in mind rather than as an API?

According to the documentation Graphics[] has been a part of Mathematica since v1 from 1988. It is probably one of the functions that did not exist in Mathematica's predecessors (like SMP [1]) which largely focused on symbolic algebra. So it might have been up to Wolfram himself to invent a convenient syntax from scratch.

[1] See https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2013/06/there-was-a-time... but, in typical Wolfram style, insufficient credit seems to be given to other symbolic manipulation products that existed at the time.
This seems obvious to me and seems something that law already strives to: you end up with very precise law regardless via case law, but with a high legal cost to reach that point. At the very least, it's not something I'd expect to be on Catala's homepage.

I think this is closely related to rule of law too. Per https://www.britannica.com/topic/rule-of-law

> In particular, laws should be open and clear, general in form, universal in application, and knowable to all.... The law should... comprise determinate requirements that people can consult before acting, and legal obligations should not be retroactively established.

What are the benefits of ambiguous laws?
In addition, there’s 300 years of intense competition and iterative design between European ships of thee 1490s and the Santisima Trinidad(to name a big ship). Including embarrassments like the Vasa going straight to the bottom of the Baltic.

So I’m curious where the design expertise for the massive treasure fleet came from? Earlier Chinese designs? Maybe Malay peoples?

The complaint is not “it isn’t good” but rather “it is not replaceable”. Since SQLite is so powerful, once you specify it as a format, you are stuck with SQLite forever.

Is that ideal for example for onboarding new developers? Our challenge is we are are starting to hire but we also move very fast and every time we refer people to our onboarding docs, they come back confused because some essential thing is now deprecated.
And I agree, but historically this was not the case and it seems that at some point we either embrace that (very unlikely) or we make the transitioning period the smoothest we can.

Again the last time this happen we got the labor movement in protest of how terrible the transitioning was.
extreme cases of covid is not relevant for 99.9% of people so that's sufficiently close enough to say your claim is exaggerated. Sure, colds can kill too, but we don't treat them the same as Ebola.
Crooked smiles are more to do with fewer people having orthodontic treatment, not fillings. Also, dentists in most countries are, in one way or another, paid for the work they do, so this perverse incentive exists pretty much everywhere. Whatever problems may be specific to the UK can't simply be explained by the fact that dentists get money in return for performing dental procedures.
The worse part of those banners are that you select "Don't Consent" and then still have to untick all those "Legitimate Intent" options.
AWS is always more expensive than owned hardware + good team -- it's after all what they generate their profits from. However, it's also probable that they were using the cloud wrong. Their software (afaik) is a typical 3-tier application coded on Ruby on Rails, which probably implies that they used just EC2s, with probably an orchestrator on top.

Also, if they didn't need any new staff after moving to their own server rooms, this implies that either their staff was having lots of free time or that their staff currently is overworked.
Where are the parallels? I don't see them...

There can only be ~4.3 billion IPv4 addresses, which means that mathematically IP addresses are severely limited - you can't assign even one single globally routable IPv4 address per human. That's why we have NAT and its evolution CGNAT in the first place.
I suppose there is a distribution for processor efficiency, screens, battery size and so on that could put you at an extreme end of the range, being charitable. Still, this seems unlikely given most people's experiences with these devices.

In fact I can see by just looking at your integer timestamps that it’s about 60,000ms difference, or 60 seconds, so I think your time stamps are wrong.

I personally find that it's much more difficult to compute the number of seconds between two different ISO timestamps without help, and that’s my point.
Sorry. In that case I used a bad word. I probably should have said internal docs that explain some specific flow or behavior of the system. A good example is one that onboards new devs.

Most european countries, at their economic height, were the products of centuries of immigrations and invasions.

What is a shame is how xenophobic people made of europe with their anti-immigration anti-acceptation practices and turned immigrants against them to make it worse for everyone.
Wipr does remove cookie warnings. From the linked page:

> Wipr blocks all ads, trackers, cryptocurrency miners, EU cookie and GDPR notices...

I use Wipr and can confirm that I rarely see cookie warnings in Safari with it enabled.

I might be wrong, but I believe this is better than Hush as Wipr blocks cookies, while Hush accepts website defaults.
> The problem isn't ipv6 (even with the tons of extra features that ipv6 forces upon you)

The year is 2023, The chromium engine is full blown operating system, it has notifications, background task management, GPU acceleration for general compute, it's larger than Windows XP, and can in fact run windows XP in the browser. Teams consumes 500 mb of ram to do the same job ICQ did in 2002 with 5 mb of ram. Cars have 4G, lightbulbs need updates and security patches.

But Ipv6 features take a few extra bytes and are a problem.

The intent is to avoid tyranny by the majority. And you don't even need a majority, depending on how things would have been written. If each state gets a vote proportional to it's population, you could have something pass with substantially less than a majority of the national population, just by convincing a majority of the population of the states that becomes a majority to vote a given way (just shy of 25% (50% of state votes controlled by 50% of the votes in the states)).

The intent is to make it changeable, but not too changeable. The constitution is the supreme law of the land, and it's not beneficial if it can be changed at a whim.

Immutable. I do not think it means what you think it means.
> In the end, you don't need a database, but a library that gives you database API and behavior.

Why do you need a single library that gives you a database API and behaviour?

Wouldn't it be better to decouple those: provide an open, standard format that enables compact, fast, structured storage that is built to allow transaction/atomic updates.

If that exists then you can plug sqlite on top of that, or something else. Because you don't _need_ any of SQL, or really sqlite to improve the OpenDocument format. You need the storage format.

OpenDocument is very different from the pretty scientific/niche/highly-vendor-locked examples given in replies by others here. Locking this into a format developed by essentially a single person with a single implementation is absolutely mad.

But... it's less mad if the file format wasn't coupled to sqlite.
I try but it is hard when there is a real Psychosis Simulator around you that uses learned helplessness to put you in a loop where you cannot get out because whoever is doing this knows all of my traumas and knows how to trigger me so I feel completely scared to even go out to the hallway and use the restroom. Yes, I know how I sound, but please have more empathy, I am a human being and I am rational like you. I am just in an extreme situation that I cannot escape or fight in any way because it is designed in that way, or so it seems, because you won't believe that I have recorded my hallucinations, which proves that there are no hallucinations.

I try to go out as much as I can.

Love the vibe of artivles, which present let's say reason-driven development vs habit-driven.

Why habit? Well, I can imagine back at the time OpenOffice was a fresh project, it went like this:
"XML is going to stay forever and everybody uses XML, so ofc we use one... oh, it is so big! And there are many files, so we just zip'em"...

To be fair, the author of this excellent article doesn't even say about getting rid of XML in this format- but that could also be achieved by storing stuff in a SQLite file. Usage of XML was habitual thinking there- and not very visionary, as the format is dead now...

Everyone is always quick to complain that we're going through N number of NAT gateways or N number of proxies, but this is virtually never a problem for most of the Internet. Even despite this rats maze of proxies and NAT gateways we're still supporting virtually all the applications that consumers use and love such as VoIP, WebRTC, HTTP(S), DNS, Gaming, Streaming Video, Mobile Apps, etc.

NAT seems to always get a bad rep because it inconveniences the very few that want to have an end to end experience, but there has to be some sacrifice to keep the Internet running for the billions of users.

NAT and by extension CGNAT are the unsung heroes of the Internet.

Which is why I was clarifying the original complaint and not supporting the original complaint.
The Apple apps are using Core Data, which uses SQLite as its persistent store by default. So Apple could in theory migrate away from SQLite by changing Core Data’s behaviour without any application-level impact. So in a way, these applications are already decoupled from SQLite in the way the parent comment suggests.
Automator was great, I used it to steal my sisters copy of twilight sequel unofficial translation, she kept on password - protected CD. All it took was to piece together a few visual blocks that would backup any PDF on newly mounted disc. A ten years old kid could figure it out in two hours.
I don't want people to read my drafts. That could be highly embarassing, and they should not make it into the final saved document.

Past version and undo history should be stored separately from the document. They should be stored out of tree where they wont be commited into some git repository or be automatically synced or anything like that.
> […] just for having a different point of view was the right thing to do by the Zig leadership team

From reading these threads it’s less about the opinions you hold and more about how you behaved, no?

Zig leadership asked you to not place bug bounties on issues without their consent. You decided to ignore their request and kept the bounty up by moving it to your own repo. Zig leadership decided you weren’t engaging in a particularly constructive way and decided you were unwelcome.
You can have multiple IPv6 addresses on your interface, so you can have both the ULA address for internal use as well as the global address - no need for NAT
When I've done contract devops, clients on AWS always tended to need more of my time. The level of devops complexity for AWS is often far higher than self hosted.

It's really hard not to beat AWS on cost, including person hours to manage the setup.
Man do I love SQLite.

Over the past 1.5 yrs I've build a computer vision tool from recording hardware/software, to derp learning pipelines, to front-end; we had some requirements on the recording side that were difficult to solve with existing solutions (storing exactly timestamped camera frames, gps data, car telemetry and other metadata).

Using a SQLite-backed data format for the video recordings made implementing things by ourselves super straightforward.
This is one of the reasons why I'm trying to avoid Github these days. If they can't get something as simple as IPv6 to work, I don't have much faith in the test of their backend either.

I like it, but I don't understand it.

The consumer doesn't know how much Carrefour paid to (e.g.) Nestle to buy the inflated products, so how is it not in Carrefour's interest to simply hike the price and blame Nestle for it?

Or is the price inflation from Nestle simply too high for Carrefour to pay, and they know that any extra efforts on their part to reap profit from these shrinkflated products would anger consumers.
As one example, IIRC earlier this year they lost some freshly launched satellites in a batch because of a flare, which made the atmosphere expand in density by up to 50% at their altitudes and didn't allow those satellites to point their solar panels at the sun in time.

Starlink sats are launched into a very low orbit and use their ion thrusters to raise into an operational orbit so any which happen to be nonfunctional deorbit very quickly (in the 2 months between this happening and it being reported, many of the involved satellites had already deorbited) and because it maximizes how many they can put up per launch.

So the satellites were lost, as they needed the panel pointed at the sun to sufficiently power the thrusters to overcome drag, but if they moved out of the safe mode orientation of having the solar panel edge point in the direction of motion, the drag would be too high.

It's funny that there are two people in this comment thread praising Windows' security, and both are aggressively antagonistic for no reason.

Considering Microsoft's general security posture (e.g. check the number of critical cross-tenant and trivial to exploit security issues in Azure - which is unique among cloud providers in their number, criticality and triviality), I wouldn't trust them in the slightest. I know Azure and Windows are different business units, but if nobody in Azure cares about reliability or security, as is obviously the case, I severely doubt that's an organisation that puts emphasis on either.
It adds up to how the average piece of legal code works in practice.

Law is political. It's persuasive, not deterministic. It often comes down to a judgment based on the relative political power of the entities in question.

Even if you find a statute that says very clearly that X is unlawful, there will be situations where a lawyer will argue that it isn't.

Sometimes they'll make that case successfully - for various possible reasons, not all of which will be lawful themselves.

This is one reason why statute law is expanded by case law. And good luck trying to automate case law.
Did you contact them in the last 7 months, not last 7 hours when you got banned.
Yep - lots of work to do.

On the positive side - battery technologies [1] are still improving fast, there is lots that could be done on the energy efficiency side.

While big central powerstations are always going to be needed, I think the future will be more distributed generation and storage than today.

We don't actually have a problem with lack of energy - the problem is capture, storage and distribution.

[1] We need to think beyond just batteries for storage of course.
The "99% of reports were incoherent garbage" is exactly what I become from unsolicited sources. They come mainly in via our (security.txt) email.

Since (2019) we have an externally managed bug bounty program (they have and manage the platform the initial triage of reports and paying the bounties (we decide what is accepted and how high the bounty is), our success rate (actionable reports) has sky rocketed.

Our devs love the reports since these are verified to be 1: documented so well, everyone can reproduce them, 2: scored reasonable (much less in house fighting if it's a low or a critical), 3: simple interaction with the individual who triaged | filed the finding (and eliminating the horrible interaction via 3 or more steps).

The money we spend on the bounties AND the service are easily offset by the quick turnaround times and saved internal struggles & meetings.
I had quite a nice introduction to programming when I downloaded ChipmunkBASIC on to the family PowerMac some time in the mid '00s.
This is a very interesting idea. but I foresee two challenges here: (1) it sounds like alot of maitnance to keep a set of annotated tests that updates docs. (2) this does not sound like a solution for a company which produces handful of system behavior explaining docs on a daily basis. it looks like it is more so intended with low level documentation
Actual on prem is not for most people. Managed hosting in a data centre run by someone else is the halfway house (and what 37Signals is doing). You get most of the savings, and very few of the pain points.

One of the biggest benefits besides egress should be people and wages. When I consulted in this space, clients on AWS were gold dust, because they tended to spend far more.

A significant reason is that you tend to be able to drastically simplify when you can pick hardware that fits your workloads rather than what fits your cloud provider, and can forego all the multi-tenancy complications your cloud provider needs to account for.
