> Vices like gambling, obscenity, prostitution, drugs, etc are banned or heavily controlled societies over because they have significant negative cultural effects

Do they? Citation needed. So far it seems that marijuana consumption leads to far less violence than alcohol, and proliferation of porn leads to much lower rates of sexual violence.

> if everyone in your community is addicted to vices, that DOES affect me

Then choose and manage your own community, but don't push this view on the whole country. Dozens of millions of people (I don't know what country do you live in, so not sure about the population) are not a "community" that you can put under the same norms. If you think that porn is bad, it's your right to do so, and to find likeminded people to build a community that shares these values. But why would you want to force it on other people?

Rust does not implement true linear types, only affine, so I believe your parent is mistaken.

You can do a dynamic check to encode this, but that's not super popular. You can also issue a warning, and in theory turn that warning into an error, but it may also trigger on code unrelated to the specific struct you want it to, so I don't think that's a full solution either, and others may use your code without the warning, getting less guarantees.

My bet: they use formal methods (like an interpreter running code to validate, or a proof checker) in a loop.

This would explain: a) their improvement being mostly on the "reasoning, math, code" categories and b) why they wouldn't want to show this (its not really a model, but an "agent").
Executives nearly always avoid jail time despite egregious lawbreaking, because we have a culture of corporate permissiveness in the US (and arguably many other countries as well of course).

Only the absolute worst of the worst of the worst will get jail time for doing something illegal in the course of doing their job at the company, if it's something that nominally benefits that company (as opposed to, say, stealing from the company themselves). And even then, probably only some.

This creates a perverse incentive to commit crimes as an executive, because the upsides are huge -- big bonuses/promotions/pay raises as a part of cutting costs, even if you had to compromise on safety or otherwise do something illegal -- but the biggest downside is usually only having to resign or get fired.

Imagine if the worst result of repeatedly putting someone in the hospital or robbing a bunch of banks with a gun was just losing your job. That's how executive crime works in the US.

"cloud" it's just a synonym of "someone else computer", what someone do on someone else computer matter. If for cloud we intend VPS, well, I expect next to zero issues, because someone else computer "origin" and "destination" are essentially the same. When cloud means someone else stack on someone else computer, well, that's not standard, so "migration" could means full-rewrite of an infra built on top of the aforementioned someone else stack, to someone other stack, the use of an "equivalent stack translator", let's say a wine (windows api emulator) for cloud etc etc etc.

What managers refuse to learn is simply this "cloud" does not means a specific tech, offered by a handful of vendors.

Nah. Changing your own code is easy. I dare say it also might be the most fun aspect of programming.

Changing someone else's (meaning an external third-party) code can be as easy and fun with the right tooling, but the tooling around supporting that tends to be really bad in most ecosystems. There is a common assumption found around dependencies that their code is theirs and shouldn't be touched except by the hand of the original author.

Not impossible to overcome, of course, but with enough friction that you have to seriously consider if it beats simply writing your own. A little copying is better than a little dependency, but a where there is a lot of copying...

You're pretty much SoL, because the "fire" is more like a pair of electrical cables that are shorting together.

With seriously specialized heavy equipment (and probably an expendable robot or few), you might tap into the semi's electrical system, to drain off some of the electrical energy to a giant resistor. Or chop the battery out of the possibly-mangled semi's structure, and haul it away in a "burning battery containment" truck.

Libraries are specifically protected by US copyright law, according to one of the judges in the oral argument in this case:[0]

>Well you know there's a statutory carve-out for libraries, right? Congress made clear that there's an authorization for libraries to lend out the books. Is it totally obvious that if Congress didn't provide that carve-out that what libraries were doing, even if they scaled up, would fall under fair use?

I'm not sure what statute this is but it seems to be U.S. Code 17 § 109[1] based on later discussion in that oral argument:

>Can I ask a more basic question? So if Congress had not codified the first sale doctrine and didn't have Section 109 that authorizes libraries, and libraries only had to rely on the fair use doctrine Would it be obvious that you could do whatever you want with the physical book?

It's not clear if this applies only to libraries or if the judge means anything that is like what a library does (ie. lending). The IA lawyer says "Section 109 says anyone, a library or not, can lend out a physical object physically." I think the issue is with converting the format from print to digital, which is only allowed for specific cases, as outlined in section 108, based on the discussion in the oral argument.

The cost of an uncharitable blog post is massively more than the price of a bounty, like, it's not even close. The cost of an uncharitable blog post is potentially unbounded (as in: not many people in a large tech company would know how to put a ceiling on the cost), and the cost of a bounty, even a high one, is more or less chump change.

Your first plan cannot be "perfect" but that should not be an excuse for not making it "complete"---as complete as you can. If you know you'll have to hire at least 2 engineers, for example, the plan should contain an entry for that.

Think about Donald Rumsfeld's advice: your first plan should contain all of the known knowns, good estimates for known unknowns, and wiggle room for the unknown unknowns.

And keep it as complete as possible. If your board, or your investors ask you where things stand, you must be able to give them as complete of an answer as is humanly possible.
Do you care first to justify the assertions you made on the back of yours? I realize it's a common utilitarian habit to believe the quantification they do is meaningful outside the purely reflexive sense, but that is a belief, requiring as much substantiation as any other before it's taken to model anything about the world.
this is a cool thing

it doesn't work as well as you'd hope with a usb keyboard without n-key rollover (nkro), and because it doesn't eat control characters (but uses the control and shift keys for percussion), it has a tendency to tempt you to run unexpected browser commands by accident. did you know what ctrl-shift-a does in firefox? well, you do now

from the name i was expecting it to have some kind of pattern-recording and playback ability, which would make it possible to play music even on such limited input devices

the keyboard keyboard layout is not isomorphic the way the screen layout is; a purely horizontal keyboard layout for a whole octave (either a whole chromatic octave, maybe on the qwer tyui op() row, or just a whole octave of naturals like on a piano's white keys) would greatly diminish the problem with keyboard rollover

i think that, if you're doing an ortholinear isomorphic keyboard layout of 12-tet, especially for people to just mess around with rather than playing seriously, you might be better off with six notes per row rather than four. that way, perfect fifths like c/g are vertically aligned. on this four-notes-per-row layout, you instead have major thirds, which are not quite as desirable for people to stumble across as they're messing around. and fifths are kind of in the worst possible location, a knight's move. major thirds are still probably the second-best thing after fifths though

there are more interesting isomorphic keyboard programs out there; https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.gitorious.jamesjrh.isoke... (https://github.com/lrq3000/hexiano) is one free-software implementation for android

i suspect the paucity of waveforms in notepat is due to the fact that the web audio api only has a few builtin waveforms, all of which suck. but with software synthesis it's easy to get really interesting musical timbres. https://za3k.github.io/ha3k-14-synth/ is a demo i did with za3k which generates a series of samples in js (using an html5 api that is unfortunately deprecated without any adequate replacement). i have more notes on bytebeat at http://canonical.org/~kragen/bytebeat/, but it can be hard to get it to sound the way you want; other more tractable but simple ways of getting nicer sounds include karplus-strong synthesis http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/ks-string.c (one-line version in http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/ks1.c), flanging http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/sweetdreams.html, and fm synthesis http://www.codemist.co.uk/AmsterdamCatalog/

(disclaimer: i know nothing about music)
A desire to generally not listen to one song loudly over and over? I think after the 1000th time, anyone is going to fall out of love with any song.
If you were setting this up in a lab to test you'd be playing the same song on repeat trying to recreate the circumstances and effect, possibly at different volumes and playback speeds and other things until you isolated a particular portion that caused the crash. Then you'd play back that portion. And all of this would be at a level people could hear. So you'd be hearing the same song over and over in an otherwise quiet lab. Even if you liked the song, you'd hate it by the end of the day (or spend the day wearing earplugs).

There would be a mix of versions, managed via branches.

The part about debuggability sounded appealing at first, but if the multiple services you want to run are truly that hard to spin up locally, it won't be any easier as a monorepo. First thing you'll do is pass in 30 flags for the different databases to use. If these were RPCs, you could use some common prod or staging instance for things you don't want to bother running locally.

I have no idea about how well the bounty program at Apple is managed, so, without affirming this, I acknowledge this is another plausible explanation: it's just an understaffed team that needs to get its act together.

The only crusade I'm on is against the idea that companies ruthlessly avoid paying bounties, which is, on information and belief, flatly false, like, the opposite of the truth. I think it's valuable for people to get an intuition for that.

A good analogy is lacking though. "Modular Monolith" sounds like a contradiction. It doesn't help the idea.

It inherits culture from OOP stuff, that abstraction was leaked to repositories, then it was leaked to packages, and it's being roughly patched together into meaningless buzzwords.

It's no surprise no one understands all of this. I see the react folks trying to come up with a chemical analogy (atoms, molecules and so on), and the functional guys borrowed from a pretty solid mathematical frame of mind.

What is the OOP point of view missing here? Maybe it was a doomed analogy from the beginning. Let's not go into biology though, that can't do any good.

Spare parts, connectors, moving parts versus passive mechanisms, subsystems. Hard separation and soft separation. It's all about that when doing component stuff. And it has been figured all out, we just keep messing how we frame it for no reason.

I'm no expert but don't you have that backwards? Dieting will lower your basal metabolic rate, whereas exercise will increase it. So you burn energy exercising, and you burn more energy when resting, and if you gain muscle that also raises your BML. From my own experience it's just way easier to exercise my way into the shape I want than it is to think about my diet. I get a little fatter in the winter and I lean out again in the spring as I get back on my bike. Just easier to modulate that side of the equation, for me.

I can't see the logic in declaring one side of an equilibrium equation to be secondary. Both sides are obviously of the same importance.

To the moral question, semi-related is a comment I heard about the idea that a person might raise a child for the purposes of having sex with the child when they reach some age. The idea behind this scenario is asking if such an activity or intent is moral, and if there are certain human relationships that are rich and complex and more positive by leaving the sex out? And if the answer is somehow self-evident or "just" cultural?
