Because average citizens and politicians don't generally attract (unceasing) partisan lawfare that is tantamount to systemic corruption.

When prosecutors campaign on pursuing an individual, when such efforts are multipolar and unending, and when the sum effort looks corrupt to a large portion of the country, then it seems obvious to suggest that outrage at a resultant SC ruling, which would not have otherwise come under consideration, is crying over one's self-inflicted medicine.

I don't think that it is healthy that this was put to the SC.

But it was absolutely inevitable given the various prosecutorial efforts and the norm breaking they represent. Even ignoring the open political corruption, and lies, involving them. Though, these aspects aren't necessary to ignore.

In short, breaking norms to pursue Trump was worth the squeeze for them. They were squeezed. That's it.

Assuming that these aren't crocodile tears over a ruling that will protect others from actual accused crimes of the past, or what might come in the future. That these prosecutions weren't specifically brought to force this result. Which is entirely possible. Certainly, such a benefit will be had.

If I understand this correctly, the core effect of this is to essentially transfer the gateway through which it is possible to prosecute a president from any AG's office to Congress.

I suspect which will serve to further entrench establishment power, of which Biden's camp is a part. Presidents within Congressional graces will be effectively immune, crime or no crime. Presidents outside of them may not be so much.

Whomever lived through 2016-2020 and thinks that Trump will have some kind of Congressional carte blanche either hasn't thought this through or is being deceptive.

Compare the improbability of Trump being able to swerve out of his lane, as far as Congress is concerned, and what Obama was able to legally get away with without stirring Congress.

Now predicated on the precedent of Obama's extrajudicial action, Trump may have been able to carry out extrajudicial acts during his term. But no one who was watching thinks that anything without a precedent would have resulted in anything except another Trump impeachment.

Code reviews can be an opportunity for sabotaging performance or for dominance. I have seen it numerous times.

Conspiracies to delay code reviews for high performers in stacked ranking organizations is common.

They can also be ruined by having the not rotating the reviewer role among eligible reviewers in the team, in that case, everything just represents the opinion of a specific group.

Also, to reduce the hysteria of this, even if a president has immunity, committing an illegal act and using that immunity would still end up with a legal challenge and that would need to work its way through the courts. Would be a huge headache, and the Supreme Court could very obvious rule differently in a particular case, hinging on what is official and what is on official. I doubt the Supreme Court would look kindly on an assassination of arrival as a “official” act

About me: I'm a full stack web developer with a background in product management and working in electronic hardware consultancies (mainly business roles), 15 YoE all up. I really enjoy working with hardware / companies doing embedded software, and sitting at the intersection between those two fields. While I haven't done any actual embedded development in a very long time, I have a good understanding of the field as a whole and the challenges it faces in relation to UI and UX, and really enjoy the people.

Recently I've been contracting to an AgTech startup providing geospatial SaaS products - and wearing practically every hat they throw at me. I'll have a go at anything to get what needs doing done, but my sweet spot is definitely full stack development, working closely with customers, and melding web tech UI and UX experiences to hardware platforms. Also recently helped another AgTech start up build a custom milk order and delivery system that had some custom requirements resulting in them not being able to use off the shelf eCommerce platforms.

I'm very comfortable fronting client / customer interactions and working through specification development, working out what customers actually want and need, doing mock ups, through to actual development. I really enjoy the challenge of balancing technical and business requirements into good fit-for-purpose solutions.

I am open to both contract and full-time roles, or just a coffee chat if you happen to be Christchurch.

"Tech debt and code smell are real"

I think what I struggle most with is that often times there's a valid business reason to "just ship it ASAP", but the missing piece is the accountability around the conditions attached to that. Like, okay, if we don't want to fix this now because it needs to be in the next release then we can merge it as-is, but you can't document this externally, it can't because part of an API, and there can't be any further development in this direction until X, Y, and Z have been rewritten to be in like with ABC.

I find it profoundly hard to get buy-in for those types of discussions. Everyone is happy to smile and nod and the appropriate tickets are filed with deadlines attached, but then the next release rolls around and there's new business-imperative stuff that's the focus and the cleanup tickets are quietly moved to backlog with the deadlines removed.

Seeing this repeated over a number of years has left me with kind of a cynicism about the process, where it feels like code review is at least partly an exercise in frustration; I don't have the backing required to insist on doing it right upfront, so instead I'm really just getting a preview of what is going to land in my lap a year or two from now.
Completely agree on utilizing static analysis as much as possible. My first instinct when finding an issue in a code review is to think, "could we have caught this with a <lint rule> of some kind?"

Are they? Can you count on humans to not abuse power? I don't trust the SCOTUS to provide a real counterweight. These are the same people who knew that 12-year-olds would be giving birth with the overturn of Roe v. Wade, and did it anyways. The same institution that ignored votes in 2000 and appointed a President. The same institution who had no power to stop Andrew Jackson from committing genocidal acts against the Cherokee. Either ineffective or complicit in severe violations of constitutional rights.

Yup, presidents will enjoy the "presumption of immunity" for practically any action, and the only chance at consequence is years and years down the line after jumping through massive courtroom hurdles, in which it will almost certainly need to be in front of the supreme Court again, where the court majority will forgive 'their' president or convinct the 'other' president.

Years of zero consequence. Imagine what an egomaniacal, unethical, vengeful, unempathetic, asshole could do with all of that power.
i absolutely hate that. That's an immediate avoid for me as well.

Bugs are 'easy' to fix, I don't worry about finding them. I worry about the interfaces as they quickly become a nightmare to change just because of all the users.
If it makes you feel better they all agreed the president should have immunity, they just disagreed whether it should be totally absolute or mostly absolute. The dissenting opinions would basically lead to the same result
The value of code reviews really depends on the code and the person working on the code. For a team who have spent years working on the same repo, code reviews may not hold much value. But if you have a new guy on the team, or a junior, you'll definitely want to review their code.

Code reviews can also do more than just find bugs. You can point out a better way of doing things. Maybe this SQL could be more efficient. Maybe you can refactor some bit of code to make it more robust. Maybe you should put a logging statement here. This method name is confusing, may I suggest renaming it to xyz?

Stainless | Generalist Engineers, First AE | NYC ONSITE | Full-time

Stainless is building the platform for high-quality, easy-to-use APIs. Our first product is SDKs as a service.

When you `npm install openai` or `pip install anthropic` or `go get …cloudflare`, for example, you’re downloading code that we generated. (I built the codegen system at Stripe for their SDKs, and am now building a better version for everyone.)

Next, we want to make it easy to build amazing REST APIs. REST is simple and ubiquitous, but right now it’s also messy, chaotic, and hard to get right. We’re going to build great open-source standards and tooling that bring the benefits of GraphQL (types, field selection/expansion, standards) and gRPC (types, speed, versioning) to REST.

We’re ~2y old, ~10 people, have strong revenue (could choose to be profitable), and great customers (including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Cloudflare). We’re backed by Sequoia.

As one of our first ten engineers, you’ll get autonomy to build great products, skilled peers, opportunity for tremendous impact, competitive salary, and a very competitive ownership stake.

We’re looking for exceptionally productive, thoughtful, tasteful, and kind people with a passion for making software development better for everyone.

Culture for code reviews doesn't start out of thin air. Unless you have processes for CI/CD, testing, task estimation, retrospectives, incident postmortems, etc., there's never going to be a point where you will convince people that they're helpful. So start with those.

There's always going to be pushback from adding more process, but if there's an understanding amongst the team that keeping things working is P0 then these processes will slowly/naturally come up as the team realizes that investing in them proactively will save them time down the road.
Perhaps a more realistic workaround would be simply to make the grace time (or inversely, max connections) long enough that the chances of a successful attack are far too long in the future to be worth attempting.

> During the first 60 minutes of code review of the day, the reviewer finds roughly one defect per ten minutes of reviewing – as long as they review less than about 50 lines of code per ten minutes.

Oh.

It normally takes me a few seconds to find bugs in code.

I always felt this was average performance for assessing software. If the average time is ten minutes per defect, I need to recalibrate my expectations for myself.
Is it “uncharitable” to assume that someone thinks Roe is how judges should decide cases? Because if so, fair enough.

My point was not to attack this person individually so you’re right I shouldn’t have worded it in those terms. My point was that virtually everyone who thinks the current Supreme Court is “unqualified” also likely thinks “emanations from penumbras” are constitutional law. It’s like listening to anti-vaxxers talk about the qualifications of doctors.
Here is a legal brain twister to chew on. Trump probably could not have been charged with insurrection…because he could not overthrow himself. On January 6, he was still the president and represented the government.

Disruption of a government proceeding is more appropriate. Had Trump did what he did on January 21st, 2021…you might have a case for insurrection.
And that's a problem. Are we a nation of laws, or are we not? Justice delayed until someone's out of office is justice denied until someone's out of office.
> Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune.

There is no way that Sotomayor genuinely believes this. If Trump becomes president and is prosecuted again, I guarantee she'll argue that his crimes don't fall under the President's official duties.
“Attempted murder. Now honestly what is that? Can you win a Nobel Prize for attempted chemistry?”

It's fundamentally dishonest - and also somewhat delusional - to discount threats even if they didn't come to pass one time. People doubted Trump would try to hold onto office, until he did.
I have to wonder why we haven't moved towards the Japanese example in the article, where the government provides a single-source of truth for title ownership.

The low-value, high-margin industry disappears, and presumably there are mechanisms built into the state to resolve problems.

I suspect it comes from a very similar logic to "why aren't wills centrally filed instead of random notaries and dueling documents?"
Remember that energy and power are distinct quantities. A battery can easily match the power output of pumped hydro, but pumped hydro can exceed the energy storage of even the largest battery. The energy storage of pumped hydro is only limited by the size of the lakes, and lake size is only loosely linked to cost since the lake will potentially already exist. If a lake is artificial, volume increases non-linearly as a dam gets higher.

For example, the largest batteries can currently store about 3GWh of energy, but Snowy 2.0 will store abut 350GWh. Smaller pumped hydro schemes are typically 8GWh up.

> no other country has joined the fight

Yet they'll supply weapons. Seems obvious why countries aren't willing to enter direct conflict with Russia, so I won't waste my time.

> Your link related to Yushchenko says that he was allegedly poisoned by three Ukrainians.

The link also points out they were likely compromised or held allegiance to Russia. Any assertion that this as being a domestically led coup is mind boggling. Especially in the wake of the election scandal.

> Majority of people of Crimea, Donetsk and Luhask regions were against the association with the EU as your own link says.

I suppose you could just drill down to whatever sub-population of a country you want and the dissenting view becomes the majority. But every time I hear this disingenuous argument, it seems to be forgotten that Russia's military ambition at the outset was to secure all of Ukraine.

> That "mistake" doesn't look to me like a desire for congenial and cooperative relationship with Russia.

Russia, under Putin's leadership, had long made the west aware it was going to play dirty. The possibility for a cooperative relationship between Russia and the west vanished when a man driven by resentment towards the west became the most powerful figure in the country.

I could dive into this, but it's not worth my time. I'm sensing you have a partisan conflict here, so I'll leave you to have the last word.

By reclassifying all these individuals as Schedule F, he actually has the means to do this and it is a key part of Project 2025. During his first term, he enacted Schedule F and it was repealed by the Biden admin. Trump intends on reintroducing it in a second term. So he has the means to make this one re-materialize and this time he'll actually have the staff to replace people with.
> well-founded induction has an implicit base case of the empty set

Yes, but that still means the reasoning that proves the induction has to be valid for the empty set--i.e., "if P is true for all y less than x, then P is true for x" has to be validly proven for the case that there are no y less than x--which of course is the case for the natural number 0 in ordinary mathematical induction.
Oh I completely agree. There are just a lot of things that can't so easily be measured and many things that can never be. But that doesn't mean they don't matter. Following the point you're making, enforcing good style can result in bugs not happening later on or even save a lot of future time as your code doesn't slowly spaghetti. And I think that's one where people often miss. That spaghetification happens generally through a slower process. By dozens of commits, not by a handful.

Those implementations use a WAL, but it seems to be only as a performance optimization to decrease the size of the in-memory index; is there a theoretical reason one is needed? It looks equivalent to a WAL-less write path combined with an almost immediate compaction. If you remove the compaction and don’t delete the WAL it seems like you can eliminate that write amplification (at least temporarily).
