I’m all for “every tool has its place”, “religious wars over languages are silly”, etc. Don’t get me wrong.
But anyone that claims that all but the 1% most simple bash scripts are “straightforward” and “readable” is, to be blunt, showing their age.

The reality is that we as a society have made meaningful progress as far as designing readable languages goes. And we LITERALLY have many orders of magnitude more resources to make that happen. That’s something to feel good about. It’s unreadable to continue to mischaracterise some sysadmin greybeard’s’ familiarity with bash as an indication that it is in any way intuitive or readable.

Like, sheesh, now we all sound like C developers trying to justify an absurdly footgun-laden standard library just because we happen to know the right secret incantations, or think that we know them, anyway. But now this is definitely becoming a religious war…
Has anyone else had this burrito? I got it once or twice last year (when it was probably only $16). Pretty good but not exceptional. I believe the owner when he says he's trying to charge a premium for a viral product. Anyone who doesn't want to pay that much can go next door to El Faro and get a 90% similar burrito for considerably less.
Hamas’s Oct 7th attack also had a 2:1 civilian to soldier death ratio.

“The latest death toll from the attack is now 767 civilians, 20 hostages and 376 members of the security forces, giving a total of 1,163. One person remains missing.”

Environmentalism suffers from the same "purity test" mindset as other things these days. Better than incumbent alternatives is nowhere near good enough. It has to be blameless now and forever.

It's really too bad because perfect often is the enemy of good. And when nothing is good enough to be perfect people burn fossil fuels instead and get on with their lives.

It's an ugly truth but it's true.
Ny combatants, I meant the political entites fighting - in this case that would be the state of Israel and Hamas.
In response to Joe Biden and the White House enabling ActivityPub federation via Threads, a number of people asked: “Why didn’t the White House just self-host their own Mastodon server?”

Here’s some very basic musings on what it would take for that to happen. and what some of the hurdles are. Don’t consider it a definitive answer, but a jumping-off point.
Your argument is just whataboutism and barely worth even engaging with. It is possible that both sides of the military conflict are wrong. Being against Israel’s actions here don’t imply support for Hamas and vice versa. In this case, Israel is the one with most of the power, and they’ve used that power to kill far more people than Hamas. To defend that abuse of power is immoral.

Yes it has a usb-c port on it which you can charge with a type-a to type-c cable.

The problem is that it violates the spec by omitting the resistor and you can't charge it with a c to c cable. That's where the frustration comes from.

Almost all human cells are programmed to remain in a specific place and to commit suicide if they discover they're misplaced. This way when things go a little bit wrong and a few cells are somewhere they shouldn't they just die, and there are more where those came from.

EVs are automobiles too, using the same roads.

Even if you're suggesting everyone should move to something non-automobile (bikes?) you still need the roads because society needs things like ambulances, fire trucks, garbage trucks, etc. You can't have a society without roads, they have existed for millenia before cars.

I was watching one of those ww2 movies with typical evil Germans (Nazis) in it and there was this scene where the SS officer dude is about to burn down a hamlet or something because of "partisans" hiding in there.

We, Americans, are being forced to change our morality and humanity to suite an "indispensable ally". (Both of which are definitely open to question).

That said, how cute that they are blaming both the 10/7 event ("intelligence failure") and their daily killing (for our viewing pleasure) of civilians, on AI.

I think "intelligence failure" is accurate but not in the sense that was offered. It is an intelligence failure of a people to recognize that they are on the wrong side of humanity and history. You can't blame that on AI. I think it a cultural failing - an overly inflated and exaggerated sense of historic grievances, a conceit regarding God Almighty's affections, and a misread of the Global Room, and clear contempt for the "nations" watching.

In a political/economic context, those are not "identities" but distinct roles in a power structure. Their political and economic interests are different and often fundamentally opposed to the extent that they're canonically considered two disting classes: working class* and capitalist class. It is ridiculous to consider them mere "identities."
> the argument that only war can bring hostages back

The war has explicilty been about removing Hamas from power for a while now. To the degree there is opposition within Israel to the war, it's in the hostage-retrieval prerogative having been subsumed.
yes the only incorporation at the federal level is by Congress at the moment

even federal agencies register new entities with their states of choice

I’m always curious what a federal incorporation statute would look like, I bet it would suck as the loudest states’ representatives and delegates would want transparency
The constitution grants the federal government enumerated powers. Since it's not an enumerated power, it's reserved to the states and is therefore unconstitutional.

Alert: Notice Regarding National Small Business United v. Yellen, No. 5:22-cv-01448 (N.D. Ala.)

Updated March 11, 2024

On March 1, 2024, in the case of National Small Business United v. Yellen, No. 5:22-cv-01448 (N.D. Ala.), a federal district court in the Northern District of Alabama, Northeastern Division, entered a final declaratory judgment, concluding that the Corporate Transparency Act exceeds the Constitution’s limits on Congress’s power and enjoining the Department of the Treasury and FinCEN from enforcing the Corporate Transparency Act against the plaintiffs. The Justice Department, on behalf of the Department of the Treasury, filed a Notice of Appeal on March 11, 2024. While this litigation is ongoing, FinCEN will continue to implement the Corporate Transparency Act as required by Congress, while complying with the court’s order. Other than the particular individuals and entities subject to the court’s injunction, as specified below, reporting companies are still required to comply with the law and file beneficial ownership reports as provided in FinCEN’s regulations.

FinCEN is complying with the court’s order and will continue to comply with the court’s order for as long as it remains in effect. As a result, the government is not currently enforcing the Corporate Transparency Act against the plaintiffs in that action: Isaac Winkles, reporting companies for which Isaac Winkles is the beneficial owner or applicant, the National Small Business Association, and members of the National Small Business Association (as of March 1, 2024). Those individuals and entities are not required to report beneficial ownership information to FinCEN at this time.

Update [March 11, 2024]: This notice was updated on March 11, 2024, to reflect that a Notice of Appeal has been filed regarding this case.

You can also setup your own dependency registry and only work with that.

Learning about the wages paid at my son’s daycare was the main motivation for my wife and I to keep him at home for the 18 months before he was old enough for pre-k.

The teachers at his daycare were paid about 30% of the living wage required to live in our town. They were all driving from at least an hour away for the opportunity to earn a non living wage. There is no way I could reasonably expect any of them to be concerned with my child’s well being when they could even afford their own lives.

You are lying, Alexandre de Moraes used illicit instruments and acted against the Brazilian constitution, not just once, but multiple times

he no longer followed the constitution even before January 8

an example is the infamous fake news inquiry, in which he is the judge, defendant and accuser, this is not normal in a democracy.

As a supreme court judge, he has unlimited powers and has abused it, and despite not being the only judge in the country, he concentrates everything related to Bolsonaro to himself.

And under Brazilian law, he is an electoral judge and a supreme court judge at the same time, he takes advantage of this to concentrate power

Don't believe what the person above says, he's probably left-wing and supports the illegalities of the Brazilian supreme court.
The types of secrets ought to be a bit different and less consequential on a developer's machine. If they're not, that's a pretty big red flag. It's one thing to gain access to clone some repositories (e.g. ~/.ssh) but an entirely different thing to get production aws credentials. Not to mention all the other protections that should be in place that mitigate the fallout (for example: no pushes to main/master/prod branches, requiring status checks and reviews before merges, etc).
$4.125B in 2023 Net Income, $4.199B 2021 Net Income. Reread the linked source.

Additionally, you're playing fast and loose with the "growth" by comparing it to a previously down year. Again, we'd have to dig further to find out why Net Income was down so much in 2022, but essentially 2023 returned to just below 2021 levels. I would not call that spectacular growth by any means, especially when we consider the runaway inflation that has occurred in the meantime.
Pinter, "A Book of Abstract Algebra", is very nice. It's rigorous but not too terse. It divides the material into many small chapters with many exercises. Chapters are mostly around 10+/-3 pages with about 40-60% of that being text and the rest exercises.

The exercises for each chapter are split into several sections each section covering a different aspect of the chapter's material. Sometimes there is a section of exercises applying the material to some interesting area.

For example, the chapter on groups of permutations has 6 pages of text, then 5 pages of exercises divided into 9 sections. Those sections are: computing elements in S6 (5 problems), examples of groups of permutations (4 problems), groups of permutations in R (4 problems), a cyclic group of permutations (4 problems), a subgroup of SR (4 problems), symmetries of geometric figures (4 problems), symmetries of polynomials (4 problems), properties of permutations of a set A (4 problems), and algebra of kinship structures which consists of 9 problems covering how anthropologists have applied groups of permutations to describe kinship systems in primitive societies.

There are answers in the back for a decent number of the exercises.

It's a Dover republication so is not too hard on the wallet. List price is $30 at Dover but its around $20 on Amazon.

The combination of short chapters and lots of exercises make it easier than most textbooks to fit into a busy adult schedule.

There's plenty of reason. For example, it's often very important whether deals are made between "arms-length" parties, especially where a valuation is involved. If a corporation is allowing me to buy their property for $1, it matters whether that is the fair value, or if the corporation just secretly belongs to my brother and we're avoiding taxes on asset transfer.

thanks, that's an answer that makes sense

but also contradicts the original parent that had me going: "Decriminalization of drugs creates better health outcomes for drug users.". but we're saying, the recriminalization is preventing them from doing drugs, falling into homelessness, and then doing drugs on street corners. like why wasnt "treatment is available" doing that. (I mean I know why, it's because coercive force helps coerce drug users to change where they otherwise would have less reason to. halfway houses are like conduits between prison cells and the outside world).

I'm going to hazard a guess, by your use of 'map' rather than 'chart', that you're not very familiar with nautical charts.

> I really doubt that's the case, seems more like a "fire first if any suspicion at all and ask questions later" policy.

I will try to solve your doubt. Gaza is a closed area. You can't just cross freely the frontier unless Israel allows it. Before that, humanitarian organisations are required to inform directly to Israeli army about everything that they want to do, where they want to go, how many, an when. They are clearly identified by a logo at all times. Israel had every single piece of info necessary to avoid bombing aid workers and had it for weeks

Despite that, Israel can't avoid to keep killing this workers; and they were doing the same repeatedly, systematically, for the last six months, in multiple attacks that last tens of minutes (maybe even hours?), while singing "oops!, I did it again".

The theory of the honest mistake is getting really difficult to swallow.

> This is simply a non-issue.

Well, it's about the tradeoffs right? If I have a recursive algorithm that's growing the stack (assuming no TCO, because few languages people actually use in production support it) I'm trading execution time, space, and reliability for economy of expression. In reverse order:

- reliability: if, as you suggest, I implement some hard depth limit (which is necessary because all the processes which are running concurrently need to not exceed my max stack depth), and assuming generally that things grow over time (more users, more concurrent processes, more recursive calls needed to get the job done) we face two issues. (1) theres a complicated relationship between the maximum number of concurrent processes and the maximum allowable recursion depth. Getting it wrong could crash the entire program! If this is a web server that's means we just killed a whole bunch of connections all at once. (2) eventually, over time, we'll need to raise the recursion limit, which entails rebalancing the concurrency limit. Hard walls like this are bad news in systems. If instead this was implemented iteratively the system would degrade softly as the iteration count grows--each process would take longer to complete, but they'd still all complete. Assuming I'm monitoring process execution time I can predict and respond to this proactively instead of being faced with an emergency where the system is just completely broken.

- space: this is obvious I guess, more stack frames == more memory. The problem is worse in some languages than others.

- time: this may be less obvious, and there may be optimizations which render it false, but generally in my experience iterative code gets pipelined better and runs quicker.

> Stack growth is just something you don't have to worry about for almost all scenarios you're likely to encounter.

I guess that depends on the situation. I've encountered hard walls and performance issues from recursion enough times in my career thus far that I make the extra effort to avoid it. I could totally see the value, though, in areas where you know ahead of time how the recursion depth will scale over time. More often than not, though, that's unknowable at implementation time so better err on the side of caution.
