> Interesting no one has mentioned Epic's Chinese ownership.

Its not relevant to the issues in the cases they have been involved in over app stores.

> I could see Google complaining to us govt that it's unfair for Chinese tech to win these court cases against US tech.

"The government" (presumably, here, you mean the executive branch?) can't veto a court ruling on the premise that the law should have been different then it was when the events actually happened and the case was heard.

There are avenues for dealing with security and other risks from foreign ownership, but they are entirely separate from the legal issues in Epic v. Apple and Epic v. Google.

Tell me if I'm mistaken but Epic lost against Apple that has a completely closed iPhone ecosystem but won against Google that has a relatively open ecosystem ?
It’s also either naive or a troll. If that did become the handshake it would be reverse engineered and spoofed by bad actors just the same.
In terms of state management, it's a bit of an apples-to-oranges comparison, no? It offers nothing over React because it doesn't offer any state management. AFAIK HTMX is a wrapper for the fetch function that lets you define your request from your HTML. How you manage the state on the server is up to you.
I don't think this particular issue has actually been debated on the internet all that much because I haven't seen it come up that much; the obvious solution is to draw a parallel to alcohol. It is illegal to be drunk and driving. Similarly it can be illegal to be high on something exotic and out in public. As hot takes go that seems fairly cool.

The issue with drug criminalisation is that people get arrested who weren't going to hurt anyone, weren't any threat to themselves, haven't done anything objectionable and nevertheless were risking prison. The wins on that front should be preserved.
Just to add, what irks me is that recent culture of arrogance that enables less experienced devs to assume that all the old ways are terrible and that this new way of doing things is the only way there will ever be.

What ever happened to modesty in juniors or apprentices?

Maybe too many of us just age out and leave the industry :-/
There are countries all over the world that take a much stricter prohibitionist approach, and overwhelmingly do not have the same problem with drugs. Your claims instantly fall apart given the numerous counter examples of countries that DO successfully criminalize drugs.
I believe that "^" in this context signifies Caps Lock as its own modifier, distinct from Control. If you've already remapped Caps Lock to Control (or Esc if that's your thing), this scheme won't work without some modification.
To be honest, this would optimize for maximal growth of wealth in a country though -- which likely rises all ships (ironic).

It's why a small merchant city was able to survive so many years. It quite literally lasted for >1000 years and was one of the most successful cities / nations on Earth.
Why did we stop?
I'm sorry for your experience, but consider this: in central and south America, drug cartels are murdering and beating people every day. I think it would be an understatement to say there are more beatings and murders being dealt by drug cartels than meth-induced psychos.

Why do drug cartels thrive? Simple: because drugs are illegal in the USA. By legalizing drugs, we would bankrupt them.
We're not talking about a war on drugs that "didn't completely solve the problem", we're talking about one that made the problem ten times worse and fucked up society in the process.

It doesn't matter if it had any positive impact, the negative impact outweigh them so much it's a downright crime against humanity that imprisoned millions of people in a system that constitutes modern day slave labor.

The first ARM was microcoded.[1] The DEC Alpha used microcode (nee PALcode) for a number of functions. There are RISC-V implementations using microcode.[2]

Not all CICS chips use microcode. Indeed, you can make an argument the 6502 and Z80 don't have microcode rather a ROM sequencer. Depends on how fine you want to grind your axe.

I think having to mention the other ecosystems shows some aspect of the problem.

Maybe unrelated (but seemed like a symptom): In my case putting together a web framework was not trivial, as there was no equivalent to Django or Rails. Instead it seemed I was going to have to put together every piece of the stack - I loved it but it was not productive. Deciding between integrant/component, ring/compojure/reitit, etc was easy once you took a bit of time to read code and try it out but the furthest from 'just run it and keep going by tweaking'.

I haven't given up yet, will give it another try this xmas break. I do believe there's huge productivity gains in a repl-driven clojure workflow.
Epic vs Apple is not over, it's being appealed to the US Supreme Court. And this Google case is likely to end up there as well.

I suspect they'll end up ruling in favor of Epic, in some limited fashion. But let's see!
For all Epic’s talk, and as much as people support third-party App Store, they only really care about their third-party App Store.

They just want to get to be the middleman instead of Apple/Google.

This seems like an enemy of my enemy is my friend kind of thing… be very careful supporting them. They’re not a paragon of virtue.
One of the more under-appreciated features of Rust is that it traps on integer overflow / underflow by default.

It’s too bad OpenBSD doesn’t have a good Rust story for the core system. (I understand their reasoning, but it’s still too bad.)

I wonder how hard it would be to backport the integer behavior to C. (C++ would be easy: Use templates.) Perhaps they could add a compiler directive that causes vanilla integer overflow/wraparound to trap, then add annotations or a special library call that supports modulo arithmetic as expected.

I appreciate this problem and empathize with what you've been through. I live in the bay with a toddler. I presume by "treated criminally" you mean jail time. But by all accounts and data, jail time makes drug habits significantly worse [1]. The extreme version of this is just dragnet police enforcement turning every simple drug use into ever-worsening drug use (aka the weed-to-fentanyl pipeline).

In your specific case, it means a low-level drug offender going to jail and coming out hardened using more aggressive drugs, evermore ready to unleash violence at worse levels.

I'm happy to think through what a low-recidivism version of "treated criminally" could be, but it is not any of the options we currently have.

The paper I linked has some interesting suggestions as to how to change the current incarceration systems to support actual drug treatment.

P.S: I think police should have better tools, and better pay (it's a hard job!) but also higher accountability, Police vs. Anti-Police is a made-up twitter dichotomy.

Which benefits are you referring to? Unemployment insurance and welfare are generally time limited. Disability payments can last forever, specifically because those people can't work. (There is a small amount of disability fraud by people who are capable of working but choose not too, and are able to convince physicians to approve their claims.)
> Data should be stored as normalized as possible, but queries are supposed to denormalize to present information in the desired format.

But the desired format usually isn't a square, flat table. Usually the data has structure and you want to preserve that structure when you're displaying, not just having it hidden in the database. E.g. you might want to show a heading for each professor and then a list of classes taught by that professor. Getting back a flat table with n duplicate copies of the professor's information is a step backwards.
A lot of offices are doing forced RTO at the same time they are introducing hot desking. So...you need to come in 3-4 days a week now, and no, you won't have your own desk. It is like, come back to the office we miss you! But, well, we don't miss you that much.

I think with hot desking, however, the writing is on the wall that RTO will ultimately fail more often than not. And that ya, these people are eventually going to come in 0-2 days a week, and not the majority 3-4 days a week.

Do I have this straight?

Oh, OK.

Google will take this to SCOTUS, and their record there (The Author's Guild, Oracle) is pretty good. This is far from over.

As if your list was anything close to a viable solution for someone already homeless and addicted.

With this post, you're right - it is absolutely more complex. There are absolutely families on the street, they're just more likely in cars or squatting rather than assaulting people.

Beds can be located in places that lock people out of employment or introduce them to toxic elements... and becoming unhoused by itself causes mental health issues in a society which does nothing but stigmatize that from birth to adulthood.

Even within treatment, skilled help is chronically burned out and mediocre help is worse than a rubber duck.

There's a need for structural reform, from policing through sentencing and voluntary/mandatory rehabilitation, as well as public education. Not to mention real estate bottlenecks that drive up prices for everone from low-income odd-job workers, to the city police force, to building new institutional facilities, to staffing social services.

Ha, well, yes. But despite sounding so anti-religious and pro individual responsibility, I am not only optimistic, I am always inspired and heartened by us, humans. I believe, we are capable of incredible breakthroughs and are growing as a whole. Untangling from centuries of brutal religious domination will take time, and we will struggle, and sometimes fail. But eventually we will grow out of the need to find purpose in submission, and will thrive as more aware and realized beings.
Averageroyalty appeared to be arguing that Apple would only buy them so they wouldn’t use the API anymore. That was my read of their comment.

The OP they responded to was arguing there’s no point in Apple doing that, if they wanted an app on android they could do it themselves. They already have for Apple Music, Apple TV, and their moved to iPhone app.

I don’t think there is any level of frozen over hell where Apple would ever buy the company and let them run the service. There’s no chance they’ll ever buy the company. Even if they did, they would just shut it down for something Apple makes. Apple does not need third-party code to interface with Apple‘s own service.

There's plenty of software that straight-up doesn't ship on the App Store. One could even argue that the Mac fosters it's own class of unique software since the App Store tithe is optional. I don't think Pro Tools or Steam would get Mac ports if Apple enforced the App Store limitations on their entire platform. It's trivial to imagine businesses that become viable without strict vendor pricing control.

Right, which is why I put the term in quotes. But Apple got that for free, since they didn't open up manufacturing.
Right. Apple never undermined any competitive App Store, they just didn’t allow them.

That is legal according to the ruling on the Epic vs Apple trial.

What part of Canada? I live in the Seattle area and visited Vancouver for the first time recently, and Vancouver was much visibly worse than Seattle in terms of open drug use and general sketchiness. Obviously there’s a lot of potential selection bias there in terms of what neighborhoods I visited there vs where I spend time in Seattle. But I was still surprised at how bad it was.
Also you can just point to all the countries that do have a war on drugs, and have been successful, and do not have major problems with drugs as a result.

As someone who used to represent drug addicts in a past career...

Drugs are illegal for a reason. Making drugs legal just makes the problem worse; the reasons most drugs are illegal is because of the many negative side effects they impose on users...and others.

Voluntary rehab and counseling don't work. Permissive policies don't work. There are literally thousands of shelters beds empty each night in LA, SF, and Portland because drug addicts would rather keep their drugs and paraphernalia than have a warm, safe space. The rare rich person who can control their habit or the consequences of their drug use because they've got a wealthy family to take care of them shouldn't be the basis for determining policy for the hundreds of people who can't.

Forced rehab works. Imprisonment works. Losing custody works. Some amount of externally-inflicted mental pain is necessary to overcome addiction to serious drugs like meth and cocaine because without it an addict will never develop the mental fortitude to stop using.
It gave me an intuitive understanding of state machines and idempotency is one solution to transitions.

This doesn't really resonate with me. It feels like the author's main point boils down to the fact that the only currently (officially) supported way to have custom attributes in HTML is with data-* attributes. I guess that's a fine opinion to have, but their example in the conclusion really doesn't look very different to me than if the same code was written with `data-alert data-message="..."`. One big reason I like using javascript for behavior is that it's an actual programming language, so I get all the benefits of things like modules and variables. Its reasonable to argue that more custom attributes should be used vs. lots of verbose JS, but that's what data attributes are, I don't see how 5 characters is hurting us that badly. The author criticizes data attributes for being implicitly focused on data rather than behavior, but I'd argue the author's own final example is also defining data rather than behavior: adding an "alert" attribute is a piece of data that indicates the button will show an alert on click (a behavior that the author adds with javascript) and the "message" attribute indicates the message that will be shown (inherently a piece of data IMO). I must have missed something because I found this article entirely unconvincing.
Look, obviously there have been and continue to be all sorts of problems with the US justice system for various reasons.

But that doesn't mean it's not needed, because it is. Violent drug addicts are locked up in other countries too, and if you spend time hanging around in public high on meth then at the very least police are going to tell you off.

Yes, ultimately our morals, culture, and sense of justice gets enshrined in law. But I did feel a big difference between living in a common law country and a civil law one.

There was a sense in business circles in the latter that what is not legally a crime, one cannot be punished for. So there was a bit of a drive to exploit that for profit. If something becomes forbidden by law, it’s “verboten”. It cannot take place, no matter how ethical it might be.

It’s much less clear in common law countries, where you could be tried and be unable to defend yourself for immoral things. Or you could break the laws but have such a strong moral argument for it, it is possible to defend. So generally, people and business are more considerate of each other, less stone cold bureaucratic. But that invites ambiguity in the legal process, even if the ultimate forces shaping it are similar to civil law. And you can get different outcomes in similar cases, like Epic Games v Apple and Epic Games v Google. These cases started out very similarly.

In civil law countries, if something was prohibited by a code, then it would be penalized, there wouldn’t be much debate in the courts. I think this is why the EU keeps fining these large tech companies all the time, it’s like a non-event, whereas it’s much more difficult in the us.

That is what I observed. Of course, what you say is also true.
Effective at what? The whole reason Portland tried something different is that the last 50 years have proven drugs laws to be largely ineffective at preventing drug abuse and its related issues. Clearly this style of decriminalizing has also proven ineffective, but it’s not like we had a working system before.

There’s one thing to have legal drugs and another to turn a blind eye on people shooting or smoking crack in broad daylight in the public, defecating everywhere and attacking random people. That’s a bit too much for the rest of us to bear. Common sense seems to be upside down and inside out these days.
Vancouver was definitely worse than Seattle in the 90s with respect to open drug use, but now...it feels about the same last time I visited last spring. But I spend time in downtown Seattle and walked through China town in Vancouver.
