I was curious about cases where this played a role. Looks like the namesake case was about EPA Clean Air Act enforcement in the 80s (the outcome being regulation), and then an FCC ruling to classify internet providers as “information services” rather than “telecommunication services” and avoid stricter regulation (the outcome being deregulation).

Overall, it seems the Chevron deference was a cornerstone of administrative law, affecting how agencies operate, how laws are enforced, and how the balance of power between branches of government was maintained. It’s not clear that this always led to more or less regulation. I’m curious what the impact of deference was beyond cases that made it to court?

The court's previous ruling on this was that you couldn't make "being homeless" illegal, and so laws against things like sleeping in the park were only valid if there was a reasonable alternative available. Generally this meant that the municipality needed to provide homeless shelters.

I can't say that I like this outcome, since now cities are motivated to just run the homeless out of town rather than helping them in any way.

> I want to believe stuff like this, but the whole field is so mired in quackery and jingo it's hard to believe any of it.

Haha yes I just saw a youtube video last night of a personal account that said something that seemed to directly contradict what the author of this post learned ("static stretches don't work" whereas this author is saying they worked for him).

I feel like for these kinds of cases where there is contradictory information that it is better to rely on direct experience in my own body rather than just scientific information about what's supposed to work. Use mindful awareness to feel directly what's happening in the muscles and tissues and how it changes over time using the different types of techniques. Then I don't really need to believe anything anyone says. The downside of this approach is that we may miss out on important information if we're ONLY relying on direct experience. But direct experience should be the foundation in my opinion.

The US is a common-law country. By stare decisis, the courts are indeed supposed to be bound by precedent.

It Congress wants to change the law, they can. It's up to congress, not the administration, to make law. For decades it seems Congress has largely abdicated its legislative responsibility in exchange for the political ease of letting the administrative state, and the courts, make the law.

Just because something has "precedence" doesn't mean it's right. Banning gay marriage had precedence, but that didn't make it right. Slavery, segregation, all had ample precedence. They were still absolutely wrong then as they are now.
If you look at the details, the branding is that of the Indian startup. Facebook actually associated itself with a badly run startup company with questionable ethics. It is a net loss of money and reputation.
There must be a great deal of tension within the right. On the one hand, some undoubtedly consider themselves small government libertarian types, but the recently ascendent MAGA folks are decidedly authoritarian and absolutely willing to use the federal government as a weapon against their perceived enemies. This sort of ruling helps the former but not the latter.
Yes, or absent that just limit the liability to a trivial amount, which many state governments have already been doing for years.

> So I should be able to sell myself into slavery.

No, because that would imply that a person can own another person. Free, morally equal, people cannot own each other. It would also imply that present-you can obligate future-you in a way that fundamentally compromises future-you's freedom.

Present-you can however terminate his own existence, since present-you has the strongest claim on it.

Interactions must be consensual with the possibility to opt-out backed by bankruptcy protection. If you agree to donate your organs in return for compensation (presumably to your estate), but change your mind on the operating table, you should be perfectly entitled to do so. You may incur a bankruptcy protected obligation if you signed an agreement to that effect

Consent should be the fundamental principle guiding all interactions. It also conveniently precludes slavery.
So.... Feels like all this ignoring Stare Decisis is setting the groundwork for the court to get packed and become another joke of our governance mechanism.
LD actually releases a crazy amount of stuff as open source. In addition to the Relay, the server SDKs are all open source too.

In fact, their entire API for flag manipulation and definition (essentially all the operations you can do with their UI, but programmatically) is open too: https://app.launchdarkly.com/api/v2/openapi.json

One could imagine running an OpenAPI → Go/Java/Rust/Python/etc. code generator on their OpenAPI spec, and then gradually implementing their entire API as open source.

Not sure how they would feel about that… although I suspect more usage of an LD-compatible API would only be good for them.

Of course, it makes sense for all those things to be open. The majority of smaller startups they're competing against will have settled on OpenFeature. DataDog too releases some equivalently surprising things as open source: eg. https://vector.dev/
Look up Sloan v. SEC for a good laugh.
And this would be true for any activist court. To me, the combination of a flaccid Congress plus activist court implies an era of disposable precedents.
*reactionaries. "Conservatives" is now more of an appropriate label for the other party. I'm not making a judgement about whether this particular state of things needed to be conserved or shook up, just about the use of labels that imply wanting to preserve the status quo for groups that want to radically change it.
I'm not sure I see what the advantages of communicating this way would be. The amount of energy required per bit transmitted would be astounding.

>> This court continues to make decisions that might be defensible if you were making them for the first time, but go against decades of precedent

The Roberts court has overturned fewer precedents per term than any court going back to at least the Warren court which began in 1953. If your criteria for evaluating a court is respect for precedent, you should consider the Roberts court to be a candidate for greatest of all time.

> It's a loss of ~1/2 of their net worth. That's significant.

It's a gain of billions of dollars that everyone agrees they should not have had in the first place. That's really much more significant.

It's pretty telling that literally nobody says that the Sackler family should actually have this money, just varying degrees of it being hard to claw back from them.

If someone walks into my house, stabs me with a knife, and steals the money on my dresser, keeping half of the money they took from me is the exact opposite of a loss for them.
It drives me nuts how OpenAI has misleadingly marketed their products, and the tech community at large has failed to clarify what their products really are. This article is so unsurprising to the point of being boring. Of course an LLM generates broken links. Why wouldn't it?

"Obviously an outright bad idea should not be kept around just because that's how we have always done it.."

But who decides that? Laws do NOT change every day and I look forward to your examples of that. The problem is that laws are not changing, and legislators are depending on the courts to do the hard work for them.
Our court is now activist in a very regressive way. The ride is going to be a very bumpy one until it generates sufficient pushback.
Then they can consult with experts, put it in a bill, and vote on it, instead of leaving it up to later extra-legislative discretion from political appointees with questionable expertise.

It sounds like you're referring to Locke's view on separation of power? He did hold legislative power supreme over the others like you say, but also noted that legislative power derives its authority from the people (consent of the governed), who have the right to make and unmake the legislature.

> And when the people have said we will submit to rules, and be governed by laws made by such men... nobody else can say other men shall make laws for them; nor can the people be bound by any laws but as such as are enacted by those whom they have chosen, and authorized to make laws for them.

Representation is now extremely poor in the United States. Colonial Americans enjoyed better representation on paper (though virtual) than the average American does today. People have better representation in Commie China. We're an extreme outlier among OECD countries, with over 700k constituents per rep. Compare Nordic countries, with more like 40k per rep, closer to the U.S. in the late 1700s and early 1800s. The only act of Congress I advocate for is repealing the "Permanent" Apportionment Act of 1929.
All you need is a lot of money, a lot of time, a problem that is fixable, legislators willing to work together, and/or a judiciary operating outside political ideologies.

We'll be fine, everyone. Nothing to see here.
In theory, I entirely agree - regulation should not be decided by agencies, but by lawmakers. In practice, this is so painfully far from reality. Do you really think congress has the ability to pass meaningful legislation on complex issues? Do you think that lifelong politicians can do a better job than civil servants who have spent their entire lives studying this particular issue?
LLM's?? Hallucinating? Color me shocked!!
This seems like the judicial branch just voted to give itself substantially more power.

Are there any checks against this? Or can justices just keep granting themselves more powers and invalidating any restraints?

Learn JavaScript first, then React. Far too many devs know the React APIs without any context. If you know JS/TS, any framework is learnable. If you don't, your React code will never improve past mediocre and bloated.

Strong foundational knowledge in HTML and CSS helps as well. Still amazes me how many folks put onclick handlers on div tags and freak out when margins collapse.
Supreme court rules government illegal in landmark ruling...
> The legislature are not experts and it is reasonable for them to rely on the experts in the agencies that they created to fine tune implementation.

That gets to the deeper problem..

If you have one group that is in charge of creating the rules, interpreting the rules, and enforcing the rules, you can't trust the process is independent and there's equal treatment.

If the legislature are not experts - and they're not on many many topics - they need to either a) find those experts for advice or b) keep their hands out of it.

Legislatures delegating their authority diminishes their office, blurs lines of authority, and lets them abdicate responsibility.
Alright, so first of all, the colors don't matter, they're just for contrast/legend purposes. Flame graphs come in all sorts of color schemes, not even necessarily yellow/orange/red.

I tend to look at flame graphs in terms of % of the overall process. They're good for finding that one part of a routine that is taking up a decent % of processing, and if that part of the routine is being hung up on some mundane task.

For example, if I see 3/4 stacks directly on top of each other, then I know I've got a call stack a few levels deep that is overwhelmingly waiting on some low level thing to finish. If it's something that should be really fast (like a cache lookup), then I know something really stupid is happening.

Some flame graphs will tie in e.g. network requests and DB queries as their own traces, which will also give you a clue sometimes. Like, oh, this function is waiting 10s for a query to complete? Let's see what that is actually doing, maybe we can speed it up.

I used flame graphs (among other things) this year to take a 30 minute long payroll process down to about 3 minutes. Much of this was just scanning the flame graph for things high in the call stack that were taking up noticeable % of the processing time. This is easier if you know the codebase, but for example, I could see within the "load a bunch of data" phase of our processing that there were a few tax-related things taking up most of the overall time. We managed to trace those to a few calls to a third party library that we couldn't make any faster, but we could cache the results to mitigate the issue.

Another place we found expensive queries being repeated in different functions, which was obvious because we had 2 calls to the same function from both places. We ended up just raising those shared calls up a level and patching the data directly into the two functions that needed it.

Other places were less obvious. We could see a lot of time being spent, but we couldn't tell from the flame graph what was happening. We'd go look at some code and find some n^2 aggregation function that we'd need to simplify.

Overall, flame graphs are just one tool. They might not even be the best tool. In our case (heavy data driven web application) I would place DB observability at least as high in importance as good tracing, and flame graphs are just one way of visualizing traces.
The replaceable ports are not interfering with the battery. The battery is under the touchpad, not up near the hinge like the ports. [1]

I love my Framework 13. The battery life on it is fine, I'd estimate probably 6-8 hours and charges quickly. The touchpad is quite large which I really enjoy, I believe that's thanks to the 3:2 aspect ratio? It took a second to adjust back from a haptic touchpad to a physical one, but doesn't bother me at all anymore. The arrow keys are a none issue, the half sized up/down arrow is standard on most 13" (and even some 16") laptops I've seen.

There's a very good reason why technocrats are better prepared to implement policy and enforce it. They usually have vantage points from which they know the intricacies of the field under their purview, understand where compromises must be made and conversely points where it _should not_ compromise. A good administrator needs to have abilities to administrate without second guessing by a third party, unless it's demonstrable that their general objective (which every state institution has) isn't congruent with the actions taken.

Someone made the example of a factory that sells products for ingestion. If the regulator (FDA) doesn't have the tools to effectively protect the public of insecure foodstuff, who will? Consumers? Consumers will eat excrement if the price is low enough, because that's what's is available to them. Consumer power isn't vested in the consumers, it is vested in the regulatory agencies, since these have resources and expertise to recognize unfair, unsafe, anti-competitive, anti-consumer, etc practices, because unlike consumers, these have an advantage point of view, rather than the individual trying to find others with their same condition.
Wasn't this decision essentially made by the ultimate regulatory body in the country?

How is the supreme court beholden to citizenry? They have life appointments, they're beholden to no one (except exceedingly rich "friends" apparently)
Agreed. I dislike working on Scrum teams, but I will if they are at least trying to do it well. Even so, at this point I refuse to work on a team that does 2 week sprints. It just doesn't work as well as 3 week sprints, for the reasons you outlined. So if a team has chosen that timeline, then they are going through the motions of Scrum because of "how it should be done", not because they have been reacting to their own results and retros.
Due to the layout of the northern Brooklyn subway lines (no direct connection to PABT or Penn Station), some trips can easily take 2x-3x as long using public transit on a good day, let alone when there's some incident affecting the subways.

Personally I always take public transit into NYC, but I can completely understand why it isn't a reasonable option for many people. Especially when both NJT rail and Amtrak have daily meltdowns whenever the temperature is above average.

Edit to add: I'm completely puzzled by your comment about "traffic from Florida to Boston or Albany". Boston is on the I-95 corridor, which means going over the GWB -- there's already no reason for any sane driver to enter the congestion zone for that route. And routes to Albany don't need to cross the Hudson at all. I don't see how congestion pricing or these two tunnels have any connection to those routes.

Anyway, my overall point here is that the upthread comment of "if you take a highway into the city and stay on the highway, you won't be charged" is true but worthless, because for one million people here there's no way to actually do that without driving massively out of your way to a bridge crossing.
This is not what he said:

> “It’s almost as if they kind of think they’re creating God or something and … it’s just — that’s not what we’re doing,”

Small but important nuance. The title makes it seem like they Zuck is saying AI is God, while what he actually said is dismissing AI as a god.

I used to think that React is awesome, but this has gone too far. They just don't care about JavaScript.

1. They introduced hooks which must be called in the same order for every execution. You can't put hook inside `if`. Hooks are based on magic. This is terrible design.

2. They didn't adopt async/await, inventing their own suspend stuff.

3. Now this: they just convert the source language into something else.

The JSX idea is gold: introduce XML-like template syntax into the language to avoid need for foreign template language. Make XML templates valid at startup and even with proper types for TypeScript. This is very important advancement compared to text templates which are used everywhere else.

The stateless render function is good. Emit desired-state, let framework to reconcile current state to desired state.

But rest of React is not gold.
We are now going to need to place a great deal more trust in Congress to legislate with nuance and understanding of the issues. Obviously the congressmen cannot really become that knowledgeable about every topic, so they will rely even more on advisors to write the legislation for them. We have some idea of how this plays out, because it already happens.
Safest from a corporate liability perspective, not from an inadvertently killing kids perspective. What you're suggesting is precisely what substantially all brands did with sesame, and it's why my family stopped eating hamburgers and hotdogs for several years...because we were literally unable to buy buns that would reliably not kill my daughter. The bread situation was almost as bad. We eventually found 1 brand available at 1 store and were able to feed her sandwiches once again. Now it wasn't much of a risk for our family because we understand how deadly allergies can be and we read ingredients carefully. But for kids whose parents are less careful, some of them die, particularly when there are zero safe options and you don't know if manufacturers are really adding the allergen or just saying they do for legal reasons(both were common). And it sounds like you may be referring to the common belief & research around early/small dose exposure helping kids avoid/outgrow allergies, but what's often lost in those conversations is that it sometimes works, and sometimes makes the allergies worse or even kills you, and nobody has the faintest clue why or which will happen to you. That's why the research generally includes allergen+medication, because the medication is necessary to avoid accidentally killing some percentage of the patients.
I would prefer if this conservative court would review the constitution and conclude that it must revoke its own right of judicial review.
I found this[0] overview from a few months ago to be helpful, and doesn't fall foul of describing the justices' views as coming solely from their being conservative or not. One example:

> Justice Neil Gorsuch told Prelogar that he was less concerned about businesses subject to changing regulations, observing that the companies “can take care of themselves” and seek relief through the political process. Instead, Gorsuch pointed to less powerful individuals who may be affected by the actions of federal agencies, such as immigrants, veterans seeking benefits, and Social Security claimants. In those cases, Gorsuch stressed, Chevron virtually always works for the agencies and against the “little guy.”
