Well, I guess this ruling makes me eat my words, almost exactly a month ago, that Trump's 34 felony counts was "a good day" for the spirit of Montesquieu checks and balances in this country:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40529062#40529905

Sotomayor has channeled her inner-Scalia in her dissent, and she hit the nail on the head. This is now kingship, this is de-facto sovereign immunity.

This ruling was not constitutionally purposivist, it was not textualist, it was not originalist. It goes against the very founding of America in the contexts of its original conception and revolution. This is BAD.
Edna actually has Emacs mode which you can choose in settings.

You can see implementation: https://github.com/kjk/edna/blob/main/src/editor/emacs.js

I can't say how well it works. I just noticed that I would need to change some keybindings because they conflict with Emacs keybindings.
I'm certainly not law trained and open to being wrong so if you could find the energy I'm happy to listen. My reading of the situation is that the main confusion here is what constitutes an official act and a non-official act. With the removal of the Chevron Deference, all of the interpretation of ambiguous law now rest with the courts.
Sounds like it might've been an inspiration for Ender's Game.
Classic. Spending the revenue before it shows up.
> Trump's lawyers admitted as much in the oral arguments.

Trump's counsel did admit this, but the opinion contains no such carve out. It says "he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts" and declines to define what separates an official from an unofficial act, leaving it up to courts on a case-by-case basis. The dissent--rightly--points out that this is way more than Trump asked for:

> Inherent in Trump’s Impeachment Judgment Clause argument is the idea that a former President who was impeached in the House and convicted in the Senate for crimes involving his official acts could then be prosecuted in court for those acts. See Brief for Petitioner 22 (“The Founders thus adopted a carefully balanced approach that permits the criminal prosecution of a former President for his official acts, but only if that President is first impeached by the House and convicted by the Senate”). By extinguishing that path to overcoming immunity, however nonsensical it might be, the majority arrives at an official-
acts immunity even more expansive than the one Trump argued for. On the majority’s view (but not Trump’s), a former President whose abuse of power was so egregious and so offensive even to members of his own party that he was impeached in the House and convicted in the Senate still would be entitled to “at least presumptive” criminal immunity for those acts.
Not a window, a helicopter.

I’m not saying it should be done, but that’s the reductio ad absurdium this decision leaves us with. The aspiring despot’s toolbox has been converted into a full-blown machine shop.

That's unfortunately the practical problem and the reality of the situation. In other words, I agree.
aw, thanks, i'm really flattered—i admire your work a lot, and i'm glad to hear i've contributed somewhat to it. you're very welcome

as for proportional fonts, a few years back i wrote a microbenchmark for proportional font layout with word wrap to see how cheap i could get it. it's http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/propfont.c (maybe make sure you redirect stdout to a file if you run it), and it uses the n×6 font i designed for http://canonical.org/~kragen/bible-columns, derived from janne kujala's 4×6 font. the notes in the comments say that on my old laptop it ran at 70 megabytes per second, which is probably about 60 instructions per byte. if you redrew 32 lines of text with 32 characters each (about what you could fit on the zorzpad's two screens) it would be about 60000 instructions, about a microsecond at the apollo3's theoretical 60 dmips; that might be a reasonable thing to do after each keystroke. and there are some notes in there about how you could optimize it more

running the same benchmark on my current laptop i get numbers from 64 to 68 megabytes per second, but for comparability with the editors, i should say that cachegrind measures 1,482,006,535 instructions for running 100000 iterations of rendering 126 bytes, which works out to about 118 instructions per byte and 120 000 instructions for the screen-redrawing example

(of course that computation takes about 2 microseconds, while actually updating the screen will take 50000 microseconds according to the datasheet, 16700 microseconds according to some other people's experimental results, so the computation may not be the tall pole in the tent here)

propfont.c might get a lot faster if its pixels were bits instead of bytes, especially on something like the thumb-2 apollo3, which has bitfield update instructions. then again, it would get slower with a larger pixel font size
High level of snark given that this is the most definitive part of the ~~actual decision~~ syllabus you could find to possibly counter what Sotomayor wrote. Guess you didn't read it first.

(Advanced trick: you are reading the syllabus. The actual decision is below.)
> the right just won a generational battle for the Supreme Court

From someone most Democrats would consider "on the right" - it's more complicated than that, of course - you're right.

The right had _lost_ that battle for generations, though. I don't recall any serious efforts to reorganize the judiciary as a result of that.

The "Hawaii judge" has been a running meme on the right for _years_. Pretty much everything Trump tried to do that was even a little bit controversial was fought in the courts, and the left tended to practice "judge shopping" to place the cases in Hawaii's district. The Ninth Circuit has been known as the "Ninth Circus" for as long as I can recall.

Of course, the right also practices judge shopping. It's just part of how things are set up today. The difference in this discussion is that we're now talking about changing the system itself because the left feels like they lost.

> Even the minimum viable reform to enact term limits after this lot dies off is dead on arrival.

I wouldn't be opposed to reform of some kind, but keeping the current nomination process and enacting term limits doesn't seem viable. The problem here is that Justices are nominated by the President. As long as that's the case, all term limits will do is make the judiciary less consistent. The biggest impact of changing the makeup of the Supreme Court more often would be to have precedent overturned more frequently.

It could be argued that the entire point of the way things are set up is so that the three branches won't be controlled by the same zeitgeist at the same time. Presidents get four to eight years. Congress can serve as long as they're re-elected, in two or six year terms. SCOTUS serves lifetime terms.

The fact that the branches are at odds isn't a bug; it's a feature.
If act = core constitutional power then absolute immunity
elseif act = official then presumed immunity
else no immunity
end

how is that not a test?
I'd love an AGPL-ish license that's more like the LGPL. Only changes to the licensed code need to be opened, not anything linking against it, but they need to be opened even if the only distribution is by network access. And no need to send object files. Just a plain "if you modify my code, you MUST make your modifications publicly available".

You don't really need anything relational, so I think sqlite is overkill, and since multiple locations presumably need to write to it, you'd either have to use something like Litestream or write a coordination server to manage the updates from the mail intake locations

I think a Redis instance would be better. Assuming each mail intake device has a unique ID, and ID 0 is intended for un-redeemed postzegelcodes, you could have newly created postzegelcodes SETNX a key with value 0 and a TTL of 5 days, then when mail is being scanned, WATCH the key in a multi transaction, and if the value is 0, SET it to the ID of the intake device, while removing the TTL. The mail can then be rejected at intake if the transaction failed. Upon mail delivery then, you clear the key, which frees it for later re-use.

Which seems reasonable on its face, but it faces another issue. Now, what defines an 'official' act as president. And how loose do we want to play with those terms. If we want to play slippery slope, which is what the court seems to like to do, then something that should be illegal but can be deemed an official act is a President ordering the military to keep voters out of voting locations because they have a 'tip off' from someone in national security that a potential terrorist attack may or may not happen at voting locations. Right, we can end up in a situation where the president can find any loose way to justify anything they do.

That is where probably the blanket immunity comes into play. Its not definitionally blanket immunity, but it might as well functionally be blanket immunity.
So you agree this is a formally written PR piece copy-pasted and as such it's spam. Got it.

Even this court would have a hard time concluding that acts taken while running for President are official acts.

But practically they've made the President a dictator, so yeah who's going to stop him if he wins.
i think the thrust of the courts opinion today is that it’s not at all clear what’s official and what’s not and even if you can delineate what’s official, prosecutors are unable to use anything that isn’t public record and “unofficial” in their case, which eviscerates any real ability to enforce accountability.

not a good advice at all. it's hard to interpret right and will probably change in 5 years anyway when the author reaches another stage.

my advice would be much simpler:
1. Most of the time you'll be manipulating test. Learn options how to manipulate text professionally. That includes vim, bash, sed, awk, perl, and regexes in general, including lookbehinds etc. It's worth it. It takes a few years to learn but even the basic options give you the culture and approach how to do things faster. Most coders have trouble swapping two columns in a text file or finding unprintable character.

2. Learn hotkeys seriously. They're more consistent and uniform than UI, learn how change them, which tools are better designed for them, and organize some memorization scheme. It pays off a lot and gets into body memory, freeing up mental space.

3. Learn how to version your own code instead of creating multiple files and folders. Read git manual at least once. Learn how patches work, what is interactive rebase, and how to go back and forth, combining different changes from different branches. That gives you freedom to experiment with code on a larger scale.

4. Learn how to quickly test any framework/code. There will be countless situations where you have some piece of crap not producing the needed result, and you should be able to quickly prove it. For this p.1 is invaluable. I have my own json,xml,rest,kafka and text log parser and diff, and a few cloud, database and search clients which I tweak when switching jobs. It's all mostly written in standard unix tools, and can be literally retyped if needed (I worked on high security envs often). It's also isolates me from poor (non-)standard tooling different in every enterprise to which I only fallback when I already know the answer and need to prove it to a peer.

The rest is subjective and optional. You can love or hate your job, you can love tabs or spaces, weak or strong typing, but the above will definitely makes it faster. What to do with the rest of that time is your decision.
Serious question: how is assassination an official act? Asked another way, under what constitutional authority is the president charged with assassinating political leaders inside the United States?

I'm not saying a president couldn't try. I can imagine that. I cannot understand how it would be an official act. If the president runs out of Kleenex and opts for toilet paper instead, that is not an official act merely because he is president.
For RCV, it is small localities no one cares about, and yes, that does include Alaska.
> If they're using their official powers they're not culpable

So the President's job is to faithfully execute the law, but he is allowed to break the law while he's executing the law? C'mon.
What other countries do is not something I care about as far as SCOTUS goes. We don’t have parliamentary system that most other countries have and rewriting 40 years of legislation in the U.S. is lot harder to do in than in most other countries.

Indeed. It's already the case Clarence Thomas's way of life may depend on whether or not he rules the way certain friends and acquaintances want.

His job is safe, but much of his salary--no, not quite the right word--much of his overall reward is dependent on what powerful friends want him to do.

Ultimately, people don't care about keeping their job--who the hell likes their job?--people want to keep their compensation, and for the US Supreme Court, their compensation can easily be controlled by powerful third parties.

> Are you willing to see Biden go to jail because an activist DA in TX used an obscure law that no one had ever been prosecuted under, in a 90+% "red" venue, with a complicit judge and jury?

This has always been possible (Nixon v. Fitzgerald) but has never happened. Choose whatever reason you want: any amount of decency, any sense of shame, low odds of winning, likelihood of terrible retribution from generally good people.
The problem isn't them. We just not too long ago have a court case that questioned whether the President is considered an "officer of the United States." The unfortunate part of law is, half of law is arguing about what 'is' is.

So its not necessarily that words don't have meaning. Its more of, the words can change meaning.

In the dissent, they
call out that what Nixon did wouldn't have been prosecutable under this interpretation.

If you can't enter private comms into evidence, all a president need do is privately communicate the disappearance of someone, domestic or foreign, and that evidence would be barred from any possible court cases.

Of course, you could still impeach, but no criminal prosecution could occur. If you're 35, at worst (legally) you'd lose out on your remaining term.

Me briefly. Designer, focusing on digital product experiences, processes and systems, with a practical understanding of both business and front-end development. Self-taught. Worked with startups and companies of various sizes, stages and teams in Europe and the US.

I'm based in Europe (EU) within UTC time zone. Work remotely and be able to potentially overlap 4 hours with other time zones. In the case of need, always open to discuss occasional in-person flyovers.

I'm currently exploring new, long-term engagements (and relationships) with small-to-med size teams, with the aim to expose and immerse myself more with complex digital experiences (products, services etc).

Not only to be involved with design, but also to understand, ideate and plan at a big picture level (eg business, processes, product development etc). Thus also interested in and open discussing alternative positions, if it’s a better fit.

In the case of freelance collaboration first, I can also invoice through my company (registered in Estonia, EU), with weekly-monthly based rate.
