And to listen to many conservatives, any time a left-leaning decision is made by the court, we are one step closer to chaos, anarchy, depravity, fire and brimstone and the apocalypse.

Don't act like complaints about the courts are just liberal tantrums.
Developed a free platform to quickly create jsonl datasets for GPT finetuning
While I was working on some other projects I created for myself a platform to quickly create jsonl datasets for gpt finetuning and customize llm call functions. I realized it's quite useful so I might as well just publish the site just in case it could be useful to any of you guys.
Of course completely free!

A textualist interpretation would be that indeed congress is now stopped from that, as anything that isn't described without doubt in an act of congress is now up to court to decide, not delegated agency.
No, you don't. React does.
Right, and that's a fundamental sea change in PKI security posture since the Iranian "ComodoHacker" and the Soghoian and Stamm compelled issuance paper! My point is just that some attackers might be willing to have their attacks show up in public logs if their victims are unlikely to ever notice that and if nobody else is likely to notice it either.

With Let's Encrypt we made a lot of people's certificate management a "fire and forget" thing, which is exactly what we hoped to do, but if they completely forget about it, it may be that there will be lots of targets against whom nobody would notice certificate misissuance.

At a guess, is it to become a tennis coach/pro later on? Like you do this in your 20s then coach at a private high school so they can say they have the former #129th ranked tennis player in the world.
It didn't exactly come out of nowhere, it was prefaced by "a fringe tends to develop; in Yiddish linguistics, that would be Paul Wexler".

As an L2 german (standard & dialect) speaker who's learning a slavic language I think "fringe" may be the charitable way to put it. (I've experimented with alemannic dialect speakers and upon first exposure they tend to think of yiddish as a different german dialect with some bizarre vocabulary)

If I ever question "How would I do something like XXX in shell?", I can usually find some clues, inspirations, or answers in the `abcde` codebase.

Except that the US doesn't have a functioning legislative branch, so the corrective feedback action never happens. The justices who are making these rulings, and their clients, are very well aware of this.
To put it a bit differently: Congress has not been able to pass substantial laws in decades. The executive branch has filled in by interpreting these laws very loosely in order to adapt to the changing situation and—importantly—to adapt to changing presidencies.

That last part is the single biggest problem with the administrative regime as it has stood hitherto: it means that almost everything that happens in the federal government can be completely undone based on the results of a single nationwide election that we have every four years. It means that every right, every process, every plan that interacts with the federal government in any way has a four-year shelf life.

Government by administrative rule is why no one is getting too excited about non-competes getting banned or non-solicitation agreements curtailed. It's why I'm nervous about the future of the IRS's free tax filing software. It's why there are whole industries built up around trying to keep up with the latest about-face that the executive branch has made.

The existing system of administrative rules absolutely sucks for stability. It sucks for anyone who gets used to a benefit only to have it stripped out with an administrative change. It sucks for anyone who's trying to plan anything out on a longer timetable than four years.

If this forces Congress to get their shit together and pass lasting laws that can't just be upended with the next presidential election or if it forces states to start taking on the role that the federal government has hitherto failed to fill then in the long run this ruling will be better for everyone. It's just going to be very uncomfortable for the next few decades as we sort it all out.
>I know you're writing in agreement, but it sounds like your changelog is an intermediary step, and I don't understand why it's needed? To fill in the gaps from lazy commit messages?

It's about the audience.

* Commit Messages - These are comments that last for the life of the project. The audience in for engineers far in the future and it should explain what changed, why and the context

* Pull Request Message - These are comments that live for a short time and are targeted for reviewers. Things you might cover here that aren't covered in a commit message is what kind of manual tests were done, releases you want to target, or reference other PRs that might be related

* Changelog entry - These audience here is internal. It is SREs, release managers and the authors of the release notes

* Release notes - This is for the customers

For many changes, all of these can be the exact same thing. It's one reason why I like conventional commits. In those cases you can write it once and it shows up everywhere with very little friction. You add it to the commit message, then when you open the PR the title and body are populated from the commit. When you generate changelogs, it is pulled from git history. Engineering isn't always the happy path, for special situations in each one of those steps you can edit it and add or remove context for the particular audience.

Not all orgs need this or need to care about it. It's completely okay if they don't. I've just found it useful in mine.

Exactly, the statement is very telling of the lack of understanding of how our government is supposed to operate, how and why the system is set up the way it is.
It's not the case that we don't have work arounds, we simply don't have generally accepted and agreed-upon work arounds. You have options. For example, there's no generally accepted work around in C++ for manual memory management. You can develop your own strategy, but you may not be able to use libraries out of the box without having to create shims (or monads) but the point is: we know how to do these things. Most of the code in production has done these things and few people are interested in refactoring this huge investment to Rust.
Out of curiosity, is your organization planning to switch to Let's Encrypt or just another year long certificate provider?

It'll be interesting to see what, if any, organizations affected by this switch to: Stick with 1 YR certs or go to the future with free 90 days?
I hate the company (Facebook), but I still think them having been publicly releasing a bunch of the research they've been doing (and models they've been making) has been a net good for almost everybody, at least in terms of exploring the field of LLMs.
It hurts so much to see how slow that dragon head is animated in that Ultima intro. I remember a lot of really slow updating in games for the ][.
The environmental externality of new energy in the US is likely ~0, potentially even net positive, because approximately all new energy in the US is renewable, and displacement effects are likely to dominate the small-single-digit percentage of nonrenewables and the marginal environmental cost of the renewables themselves.
I feel like this article gets too caught up on the like specific examples:

> A translated-example of conversation at a restaurant goes like this:

> Server: What would you like to order?

> Customer: Me, eel.

> This means the customer would like to order eel; it doesn’t mean he/she is an eel.

This true in the USA as well, just with different punctuation. Is it fundamentally different than someone responding with "Me? Eel." ? Not really, in my opinion.

The same is true where people everywhere say "it's difficult" when they mean impossible, or vice versa..

But what doesn't really get driven home is the (I'm assuming) much higher rate of people using indirect-speak in Japan as compared to other countries. It would be neat to see some kind of a breakdown/quantification of that across language/culture.

It seems less like a language thing than it's being made out to be, and more of a cultural thing?
Releasing your own distro of Android and rebranding existing hardware is a reasonable path to competition. The cost would just be minimal dev work and a profit sharing plan with any of dozens of hardware manufacturers. Not a big deal and probably even cheaper than the legal fees they're incurring here.

In contrast, Apple flat out doesn't allow anyone else to sell their hardware or software. Now that's a monopoly.
It's worth noting that there is no architectural limitation preventing an HA topology: multiple Dorkly servers can be deployed behind one or more load balancers for HA + lower latency where it matters (ie web and mobile apps).

If this is a limitation for anyone I'm happy to work with you on modifying the terraform module to support HA.
Talks about boring code, then immediately introduces a completely modern stack that most developers would love to use including grpc, gateways, rds, s3, ec2, testing, separated services & databases, mocking frameworks...

There's nothing boring about this, it's unfortunate that they took to name this "boring code".

Aside from this, the actual implementation details are quite interesting and worth a read. A better title would be "lessons learned using a modern stack for healthcare.gov"
Alternative interpretation:

The courts just remedied a situation where the executive branch of government had arrogated to itself powers reserved to the legislature by the Constitution.

Notably another case ruled on this week did the same thing, by invalidating many agency-specific “administrative courts” and restored the rights of citizens to seek redress in actual courts.

I and many others believe that executive branch agencies (“the federal bureaucracy“) has become an out-of-control unaccountable 4th branch of government, and I for one am delighted to see them reined in.

Note that agencies will still be able to perform enforcement; they just have to stay within the bounds set by laws and they will no longer be the sole arbiters of those bounds.
Let's assume for the sake of argument that these new shots will be perfectly safe and effective (won't catch it, won't spread it, won't have any side effects, etc).

Given current sentiment and uptake rates, how many people are actually going to get these (or make their 6 month old get them)? And how low does that number have to be before you are just training people to be comfortable ignoring your recommendations?
Yeah completely agree - I spent 10 years living in Manhattan and don't recognize anything in the parent comment.
And every time they will, the courts will find that the delegation is not specific enough.

Never mind that congress appoints the heads of the agencies, writes the laws directing them, and on an annual basis, renews funding for them.
The other argument is, why bother MITMing when you can go to Cloudflare and get them to share the data with you :)
> If you are developing in Python or C# you may already know the big cost of async/await: function coloring where sync function can't call async function and vice versa.

The "blue can't call red" property -- the plot climax of the original function coloring article -- only applies to JS. Other languages can call async functions from sync functions using some sort of "block on" or "wait for" API. The function coloring problem is still annoying, but it's not a fundamental limitation like it is in JS.
Which is way easier when you only have to convince random court with a gish-galloping person as "expert witness".

Regulatory capture at agency level is way harder to do.

I doubt there are many left after last night.

Born and raised NYC so Ive been around since the Regan era. Growing up my parents drove everywhere - even to Manhattan.

> If you want them to use public transit, make the public transit more convenient and cheaper than driving!

Yup. I live in south Queens which is mostly suburban and a lot of people drive around. I'm two blocks from the A train so driving to Manhattan is pointless when I have a 30 min express subway ride. But if I wanted to go to the nearest Microcenter in Kew Gardens it's 20 minutes by car and an hour by bus, each way, with a transfer - guess what mode of transport I'm taking...

Most soft drinks of the day started off as health tonics. Health tonics were popular in the late 19th and early 20th century and were often made by pharmacists and sold in their shops.

That is why we had "soda fountains" in drug stores for much of the 20th century where you could go and have a drink that originally claimed a health benefit but eventually became just a treat.

Lit, for sure.

Now is WebComponents prime time. Libraries like Lit have just a little bit of code that makes the DX of webcomponents be top notch. Some people like to use TS with it but what I love about lit is how powerful it is with just vanilla JS and no compile/bundling/building phase. Development directly in the browser, sane stack traces and faster than anything I've seen.

Lit code is similar to what React was until the 16 version.
I have been building web applications for nearly 20 years. I have worked at every level of the stack and used every framework you can imagine. I have a lot of context on the situation.

I remember going to Computerland circa 1981 and they had an Apple /// that they refused to demo for anyone because they were afraid it would burn up. Whatever else might have been wrong about the ///, the /// just plain didn't work reliably.
Also its funny because the original Chevron case was about how under Reagan the EPA re-interpreted the Clean Air Act to make it easier for companies to introduce new pollution sources. The EPA was sued and the lower courts backed the original interpretation of the Clean Air Act. This was overturned by the Supreme Court in the Chevron decision which said the courts must defer to the EPA's new interpretation.

So the environmental impacts of this decision are hardly clear cut.

This was an interesting history, it seems like we actually kind of don't really get a clear answer or at least a clear villain. A lot of the discussion pieces from before 1950 seem to be talking as if the rule of thirds is widespread as informal advice, just that nobody is writing it down. And then the military manuals come in and they have to write all of this stuff down so they do?

I had a really great photography class in high school, complete with a dark room and developing our own negatives. When our teacher talked about the rule of thirds he phrased it in a very interesting fluid way, I only learned later that some people hear it as a much more rigid “this is how you have to compose” way.

He said, if you have multiple subjects in the painting, there are kind of natural lines between them, and because your eye moves from one to another, there is natural movement along those lines while the subjects themselves get kind of “anchored.” So like if you want to sell “busy street” you capture a beautiful house on the left and right, say, so that the eye is constantly moving along the busy street.

And then he said that if you only have one main subject, you have to decide whether you want it to be in motion or at rest. If you want it to seem still and fixed and kind of eternal, you put it at the center. Dead center is a place of balance, our eye is naturally drawn to it, if you put the subject in the center there will be no motion.

And only after all of that, he draws the rectangles and divides them into thirds both ways. And then continues, by putting something off center, on one of these lines, it gets a sense of motion towards the other 2/3rds of the photo since the background is expanding out in that direction. And especially at these four corners, there is a very strong diagonal motion towards the opposite corner. “So if I want to take a photo of someone walking into the great unknown, I place them at the bottom right corner and try to get the path snaking up this way, you get a real sense of movement then.”

Today I think that that makes it a little bit too scientific, I think things can look in motion in the center and static in the corners, so I think of it as just kind of a trick of the eye, I think it can be effective but I don't think it has to be that way. But it still made a good lasting impression on me.
These experiments confirm the classical theory of gravity, which is Einstein’s general relativity, just as Maxwell’s equations are the classical theory of the electromagnetic field. Just as Maxwell’s equations are perfectly adequate for waves of macroscopic intensity, GR is perfectly adequate for astrophysical gravity waves.

A whole separate question is what is the quantum mechanical theory that has general relativity as its classical limit? For electromagnetism, quantum electrodynamics (understood in the 40’s) is the quantized version of Maxwell’s and predicts that electromagnetic energy measurement outcomes come in “chunks” (photons). But, although much is known about features of “quantum gravity” (like that gravitons will be massless, spin 2), there is famously no consensus yet about the precise theory.

As to how to reconcile the force carrier picture with spacetime picture — even classically one can consider an “overall” spacetime background geometry such as that created by the whole earth. Then consider little ripples perturbing this background. Gravitons are these little ripples turned on a quantized amount (heuristically). How the overall background itself gets formed as an “enormous pile of gravitons” will depend on the precise theory of quantum gravity. String theory does have a partial answer to this so can model such things as black holes quantumly.

The Roberts Court just decided to increase Congress' workload 100000x. This is one of those rulings that is going to get overturned in a few decades when it turns out to be completely unworkable to have Congress be subject-matter experts in thousands of areas.

In 10 years when people wonder why their rivers are glowing green and everything in the ground is dying and there's a weird smell in the air, and corporations are just allowed to decide you pay them for no services and there's nothing you can do about it...this decision is going to be the reason.

It looks like Thomas' and Alito's benefactors finally got what they spent most of the last decade trying to buy.

There are type switch statements, at least, and libraries like https://github.com/phelmkamp/valor can use them to provide more concise abstractions. The really frustrating thing is that interfaces can't have methods that introduce new type parameters, so we're stuck with standalone functions like `optional.Map(optionalFoo, barFunc)` instead of `optionalFoo.map(barFunc)`>

Hundreds, huh? Is this a typo? It makes me wonder if the whole comment is facetious. Or do C++ programmers just have very low expectations for build time?
Pretty much the same as talking to the British.
Constitutional scholars since the founding of the nation have taken no issue with Congress delegating authority to federal agencies, and the initial Chevron decision followed along those lines.

Why is it only now, with the hyper-politicization of the SC, with interested parties spending significant money providing luxury and lavish accommodations to at least one member of the SC, that this previously accepted interpretation of the constitution is suddenly in question?
