I'm processing what's being said. Maybe the problem is me.

I've lost faith in the court system recently.

You have faith in a court system to only determine questions of legality, not policy. I don't have that. I see our federal courts as political tools, completely unaccountable to the people and whose rulings are never adjusted by the Congress. I wholeheartedly disagree with textualist/originalist readings of the Constitution.

At least a bureaucracy operates at the direction of an elected position, I suppose.

I'll have to think about the discussions here. I still like my idea of Congress being brought back into the loop to be required to respond to judicial decisions overturning regulations, to ensure the agencies can continue doing what they need to do if it is "the will of the people". You kept on saying this stuff is "downstream of Congress". I'm saying to make it a feedback loop so it must get back in front of Congress after judges make a decision.

EDIT: Oh and SCOTUS just gave the president absolute immunity, and among other things said that judges couldn't look at presidential intent when determining if an act is "official or unofficial conduct" because it would open the president up to endless legislation.

So judicial review is okay when it's talking about fines on boats, but not when it's about a president overturning elections or assassinating political leaders.

> It'd seem like if there's anywhere one would want to have a Brezhnevka with central heating, that'd be it

baybal2 could probably answer better (I think he's from the Far East), but not everyone had access to mass housing - especially in rural villages like the one in the video.

On top of that, in the older USSR days, there was an internal passport system (which the modern version of the Chinese Hukou is based on) that made it difficult to move internally. This meant if you and your family decided to migrate to the city because collective farming life sucked without permission, you wouldn't be eligible for urban benefits like a Brezhnevka.

This is a major reason why Putin has historically been so popular among rural and poorer Russians - they saw their QoL increase drastically over the past 30 years, but those who were urban, intelligentsia, or skilled workers by the 1970s-80s saw their QoL drop drastically in the 90s and 2000s.

This only makes the current war that started in 2014 even dumber, because Russia was right on the precipice of becoming a "Developed Country" (WB Advanced Economy and HDI above 0.850) before it initiated the 2014 war and was subsequently sanctioned.
Pattern matching as is in Erlang, or how it is in most modern languages, was not there at some point and was considered novel and exotic. Now most everyone can do [X, Y | _] = [1, [2], 3, 4] and it's not a seen as something advanced.

I am not sure if it was ever called "unification" in Erlang, it was always called "pattern matching". But the equal sign did retain its name as the "match" operator: https://www.erlang.org/doc/system/expressions.html#the-match.... And that is a legacy of Prolog. I never read X=1 as "make X equal to 1", in my head I always read it as "match X to 1".

At some point, I also wondered: why didn't they go all the way and just bring in Prolog's full unification. They obviously liked Prolog; Erlang was developed in Prolog initially, even. Well, it turns out with unification we'd have to carry the match "hole" around until we might a match. But Erlang has lightweight processes with isolated heaps which communicate via messages, so now we'd need to pass these "holes" around from process to process until say one of the processes somewhere manages to unify the value, and then have it propagate across the system to original query. That breaks isolation. So you see how the two neat features came into a conflict and they picked one over the other, and rightly so it seems.

You come across here like the manager who's tired of hearing his engineers tell him that a design target isn't possible.

There are some problems that can be solved if everyone gets over themselves and applies a can-do problem-solving attitude. There are other problems that are caused by fundamental system constraints and can't be solved, only worked around.

The trouble is that a certain kind of manager believes that every problem is the former kind, and considers everyone who acknowledges the existence of the latter kind to be weak-willed.

It is a pretty dumb question, in that you can fabricate an answer ahead of time without much hassle.

I do think a lot of older devs don't really just do it for the money anymore. They tend to get more particular and only apply for jobs that they will find personally fulfilling. And that makes answering the question easy. Not that being older makes getting a job at easier, though.

There are quite a few attackable premises in your chain of arguments, and some dubious conclusions, too. I'm not going into it because I don't want to type a lengthy treatise, and, of course you know, those arguments have been going back and forth for the better part of three millenia now. I'm not the right person to rehash those. Just, if it would be easy it would be as cut and dried as you try to picture it.

I guess each of us, individually, has to, at some point in time, come to a version of an answer that we can live with. I find yours neither the worst nor the best I've ever heard, but I'm glad you have it.
It's quite coherent, if you read it correctly.

I've heard this assertion many times. But after having ridden hundreds (thousands?) of hours wearing headphones, I must conclude that it's a perfectly fine idea. People believe headphones will obstruct your hearing. Some do. Some don't. Wear the ones that don't. It's also possible to set the volume to the same level that it would be from a set of handle-bar mounted speakers.

To me, this is the argument for formal verification. I don't want to hear a hand-waving explanation that this algorithm will always complete. If the algorithm is sufficiently complex I want proof. Otherwise, why would I believe you?

Abstractions, in the mathematical sense, always hold (unless there is a flaw in the definition itself). Axioms in any sense are always going to throw a wrench in things. Thank Godel. But that shouldn't mean we cannot make progress.

Do the work, show your proof! Think hard!

Although sometimes all you need are a few unit tests.

They key is to develop the wisdom to know when unit tests aren't sufficient for the task at hand.
One delayed follow-up thought here:

Redesigns almost always result in a decrease in metrics/KPIs. The redesign just lacks the learned improvements that were baked into the old product. So, the initial launch almost always seems like a failure - and requires leadership to expect this dip before problems can be patched.

Can we really say WebKit is funded by Google at this point? They collaborated with Apple in the early days of Chrome, but fully forked it to become Blink many years ago, and now WebKit continues on with a more open contribution landscape than Blink/Chromium - Apple is a core contributor but there’s a bunch of use in embedded as well
Yes, the OCR problem is also very interesting to me. I have been looking into the OCR/labeling field recently, and it seems to still be an actively researched field. There is a surya-ocr that was recently posted to YC, transformer-based, but it is still expensive if running on a really large dataset like 100 years of newspaper. Tesseract doesn't seem to handle this kind of thing very well. In the paper, they just mention it was an active-learning type of method.
From the linked PDF:

> The telemetry sent by the Gboard application does not go directly to Google. Instead, the data goes through a service known as the Clearcut Logger within Google Play Services

To be fair, I have not tested whether Gboard continues to send telemetry to GPS even after networking is disabled on Gboard but there's nothing stopping that from happening from a technical perspective. This is because Android apps access GPS over Binder and Android apps can access Binder services even if they have no INTERNET permission.
Right. I want your app to have consistency with the platform I’m using. Not between all platforms.

Small goods are worth a lot of money in aggregate. Hope that helps.

Why Now Is the Best Time to Be a Solopreneur
This isn't the case for OpenSSH but because a lot of environments (essentially all managed runtimes) actually do this transparently for you when you register a signal "handler" it might be that less people are aware that actual signal handlers require a ton of care. On the other hand "you can't even call strcmp in a signal handler or you'll randomly corrupt program state" used to be a favorite among practicing C lawyers.
That one was clear from the start, same for the dozens news sites who have switched to that model. The problem is that DPAs are notoriously slow and intransparent.

IMHO, the system needs to be revamped, at least against commercial actors: all complaints should be logged in a public register, and individuals should have the right to add a complaint of their own to an already existing one, so that there is public knowledge of suspected bad actors.
This is great to see either way, but does anybody know if Ladybird's engine is being designed with embedded use in mind?

One of the big missteps that led to Blink/Chromium and to a lesser extent WebKit overtaking Gecko was Mozilla's choice to remove embedding support from Gecko and effectively make Firefox the only modern Gecko browser. It'd be great to get a new browser but it'd be even better to get a new web engine to embed that's not the hulking behemoth that is Blink.
That's all well and good until it's smothered in surveillance capitalist garbage. There's a thin veneer of helping the disadvantaged/vulnerable group du jour that is used to justify abusing everyone that interacts with it. You see the same crap with "think of the children" panic.

Unless these devices respect their users, they're simply profiteering off of the disadvantaged, which in my mind should be just as rage inducing.
