>"An impeachment (by the House of Representatives) is analogous to an indictment. The trial is held in the Senate, and the Senators serve as a judge-less jury."

Impeachment may be analogous to an indictment, but it has become a political tool, not a true check on presidential power.

>"Partisan impeachment is rightfully difficult, by design. Juries either have to be unanimous or a super-majority, depending on venue. If you can't get a small fraction of the opposition party to agree with the charges, the charges are defective."

The difficulty of impeachment due to partisan bias undermines its purpose. Historical impeachments show the Senate often votes along party lines, ignoring the evidence. There's reason for that.

>"The founders weren't all convinced that impeachment was even necessary; the president's term is only 4 years. Many were rightfully concerned that impeachment would become a spectacle used by an opposition House to damage the sitting president."

Impeachment was included exactly because the president can cause immense harm, even in four years - and you are undermining the importance the Founders saw in it, especially enough to include it.

>"No one can preside over a country when any ambitious DA anywhere can drag you into court afterwards. I think the decision today was a good one."

No one should be above the law, lest we flirt with Kingship, which is especially unappealing given our history.

>"The majority in the court was wise today and closed the door firmly on lawfare as an alternative to campaigning, for all presidents moving forward."

This ruling is a very, VERY dangerous precedent, suggesting presidents are untouchable. Clinton v. Jones showed legal accountability can coexist with presidential duties

--------------------

Like I said here [1], "[Lawfare in the executive] wasn't even a problem before the last 4 years, and the only times it were - was when the suspecting president agreed they broke the law and stepped down, or got impeached.

We have monarchy after monarchy to show that sovereign immunity within leaders builds toxic ontological relationships between participants of a political system, and often invites tyranny. Your suspicions, for 238 years straight, have been amiss."

There's a screenshot purporting to be of GitHub from May 2008. There are tell-tale signs, though, that some or all of the CSS has failed to load, and that that's not really what the site would have looked like if you visited it at the time. Indeed, if you check github.com in the Wayback Machine, you can see that its earliest crawl was May 2008, and it failed to capture the external style sheet, which results in a 404 when you try to load that copy today. Probably best to just not include a screenshot when that happens.

(Although it's especially silly in this case, since accessing that copy[1] in the Wayback Machine reveals that the GitHub website included screenshots of itself that look nothing like the screenshot in this article.)

It would have put a lot of prominent Republicans - including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell - in an awkward position because a number of them had previously said he was a great candidate for the court.

So, they either make a liar out of themselves, or become a rank hypocrite.

The term for this is "consumption based emissions." You can find charts for it at Our World In Data. Here's the chart for the US along with an explanation of the methodology:

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/consumption-co2-per-capit...

The US is improving even after accounting for imports. Consumption-based emissions were 20.3 tons per capita in 1990 and peaked in 2005 at 22.7 tons per capita, declining to 14.9 tons per capita as of 2022. Of course present emissions per capita are not as low as if imports had no CO2 footprint.
The problem is that official conduct is inadmissible as evidence for even an unofficial crime, from what I understand. On that point, Barrett and the other women justices dissented from the majority, with "official acts" being a nebulous term.

Not quite. If you’ve been following federalists you’ll see they’re rewriting and redefining whatever they need to in order to achieve their ends.
You can't drop Office, sure. But you can keep using it on Win10, and MS probably can't get away with changing the file formats again.
I did not mean to downplay severity. I live in an area with a few dozen glaciers, and I've spent the last decade watching them become smaller and smaller with each passing year.

The article being off by three orders of magnitude annoyed me because the loss of that quantity of ice in one location in just 70 years would be catastrophic; if we assume 40 meter thickness, that's 58 cubic kilometers of water added into the local watershed.

As it stands, the statistic is "just" depressing.
Bribing a porn star to keep quiet about your extramarital sex and breaking accounting/campaign financing laws by trying to disguise the payments before you are president should be considered an official act by the president? Weird argument to make.
It's not the data, it's the low-effort interpretations and conclusions.

Behind Trump's blowhard tactics and lies, just perhaps it's worth seeing why there's pushback from the conservative and rural citizens. Perhaps it really is just oil executives. Or perhaps there are some genuine concerns that we've missed.

The latter, of course, takes extra level of effort and only matters if you view people in the other political party as...actual people and not "the enemy" or "idiots in fly over country" (those quotes aren't yours, but things I've overheard verbatim in years past).

it's my understanding that they can't use testimony or notes from advisors et. al. which is troubling since they are or can be the co-conspirators.

> Presidents cannot be indicted based on conduct for which they are immune from prosecution. On remand, the District Court must carefully analyze the indictment’s remaining allegations to determine whether they too involve conduct for which a President must be immune from prosecution. And the parties and the District Court must ensure that sufficient allegations support the indictment’s charges without such conduct. *Testimony or private records of the President or his advisers probing such conduct may not be admitted as evidence at trial.*

It's better for everyone when there is healthy competition in a market and companies are forced to attract buyers on things like innovations, features, service, and price, but honestly I don't mind too much when one company basically dominates the market as long as they aren't going out of their way to shutdown competition. Pressuring companies to sign exclusive deals, bribing government for exclusive contracts, buying up competitors or operating at a loss to squeeze them out, etc. Those are signs that antitrust regulators might need to pay attention. Same when there is competition but it looks like is collusion on prices, innovation stagnates, and customers are unhappy.

I don't hear many complaints about Koala Kare and I'm unaware of any evil they're doing to keep their spot at #1 so until that changes I hope they enjoy their success.
Yes, corporations are not people, and do not get rights, period. They're legal fictions that get privileges that we the people grant them.

If you want to represent yourself commercially as a person, your rights as a person can be extended to that legal fiction.

If you want legal fiction that you can dump when it's convenient and isn't tied to you as a person, then that legal fiction gets no rights and only certain privileges.

I read a lot of articles like this, and it's usually mentioned that their preferred language is expressive. Here it's mentioned as a dig against the top 10 languages, basically saying that they lack expressivity

> make the language and syntax as simple as possible, and then even simpler at the expense of expressivity

I understand why people say this because you can write these small highly condensed statements which would take a lot of code otherwise to do. I think it's probably the wrong word though. These languages generally prevent you from manually managing memory, which ironically makes expressing some designs or patterns impractical. If you want to express say writing a performant garbage collected language or something, a language like c or c++ is ironically more expressive than these other higher level functional languages with a runtime gc.

> I wonder if this is why you tend not to see functional programming languages more broadly used...?

The overarching problem is that functional programming trades extra thought now for extra benefit later.

Inexperienced programmers hate functional programming because they like "magic". They are having a tough enough time just getting the task at hand finished and the more stuff done for them without thinking, the better.

Inexperienced programmers don't want to think about multiple threads. They don't want to think about the event loop or sockets. They don't want to think about the state of the protocol and why it shouldn't update multiple steps. etc.

The only way for that kind of magic to happen is to have a bunch of implicit state that sits invisibly in the background. It's either global or part of a single mega-struct that might as well be global.

However, if an inexperienced programmer sticks around long enough they eventually run into a Heisenbug that is difficult to replicate. In order to run down the bug, they start having to isolate everything. Suddenly, the words of the old greybreard start coming back: "Immutable is good" "Time needs to be an explicit part of your state" and "bytes in, bytes out--putting the bytes on the wire is a different function" and ...

At that moment, they become an acolyte of functional programming and now qualify as an experienced programmer.
Less "accidental launch" and more "failure of the bits that were securing the rocket for a static test."
The main canonical use case for static reflection is serialization, where serialize<T>() can easily have a default case of calling serialize() on each of the fields. In the more general case, you basically want to have some library method that does something based on the structure of a struct or class, without having to define some sort of explicit, intrusive interface that said struct or class implementation has to provide.

Does static reflection simplify such cases? ... Outlook unclear. It's definitely gnarlier to actually write the serialize() method, and in many cases, it does feel like a better option is to write a specific domain-specific language to specify what you want to specify, with a tool to operate on it as appropriate (think something like protobufs for serialization).

I'd say, if you are big enough to have a Microsoft Support Contract then you're probably going to pay Microsoft for extended Win10 support anyway.

If you're looking to pay for 3rd Party Win10 updates, you might not be running AD in Azure either. Local AD is still a thing, and it should still support several versions of joined workstations.

I have been writing software and working with data since 2014. My last professional role was a data engineer in a seed stage company, I had a number of jobs in academic life sciences before that, a back-end engineer type role in an investment bank even earlier, and currently going through a period of just doing open source as a hobby and being really excited about programming enabled by the fantastic tools we have at our disposal. Looking for either a role in an environment supportive of AI enabled software or another opportunity to take part in building something that's only just beginning to be possible.
Lawfare is a very well-informed source and I think at this point we should really quit pretending that "liberal" sources are biased in any meaningful way and that their staunch opposition to the political right is thoroughly justified on objective grounds. This decision is a bad one. Previous decisions by the conservative justices that were derided by the left have been bad for the country in tangible ways. They were appointed by a guy who lead an insurrection. Who committed a load of crimes they are fine with him getting away with. Strict construction isn't even a fig leaf on much of what they're writing
While there are certain managers who are balanced and look out for the team, more often than not Amazon has by osmosis attracted psychopaths. Increasingly the middle leadership and potentially the senior leadership are clinical psychopaths who recite and check off the employee growth metrics. My prediction is that in a few years it will implode like a neutron star because of a critical mass of psychopaths who won’t be able to tolerate each other.
For the sake of this publication, I hope that they got paid by Google (in money or favours) for this rambling low-quality "article".

A dominant position in an open market with zero lock-in, is completely inconsequential to antitrust laws. Unless nefarious behaviour is alleged, it just means the product (and/or the branding) is superior.

Can anyone replace a Koala product with an alternative, without suffering any repercussion? Yes. Can anyone build a bathroom without buying from Koala? Also yes. Will your bathroom continue to work if you remove a Koala product? Still yes. Are consumers or businesses suffering from this market dominance? Not really (I guess Koala can command slightly premium prices, but we're talking plastic building supplies here - the margins will likely be pretty low already).

This has nothing to do with big-tech cases.

Having implemented reflection in languages like C(++), before, it is most certainly not bloat-free. There are sorts of 'obvious' things programmers do (like enum-reflection) that end up injecting strings all over the place. The overhead is (worst case) proportional to the source-code size, in those cases. In other cases, you end up with bloat proportional to heavily-utilized template libraries. However, unless the reflection system is very clever, i.e., exposes enough information to the linker to strip duplicate-ish symbols, you end up with a bunch of reflection copies.
It probably involves some level of reverse engineering. Which last I checked violates the windows license.

Regardless of my feelings on whether such reverse engineering should be legal (I think it should), this line of business seems like it is inviting a lawsuit from MS, unless they have some kind of agreement with MS (which is possible).
