Your quotes are actually reinforcing and not detracting from the point I was trying to make. Because it is a question of tradeoffs, for some people the robustness principle could be argued against right from the start. Lots of strict protocols existed at the time (CER and DER rules for ASN.1 for example) even if people preferred forgiving protocols (BER seems to have been more popular). Yes, people were explaining the tradeoffs and why it might make sense to prefer strictness, I am sure you can find earlier quotes. The authors might not feel the need to make these arguments if public sentiment was widely aligned.

The person I was responding to (who sadly was downvoted), seems to have a sort of nascent appreciation for the robustness principle. They seem to be suggesting that the prevalence of null bytes in scripts is an argument to preserve support. To me this is an illustration of the fact that public opinion is still not universally against the robustness principle (indeed some, possibly that poster who never heard it as Postel's law or it didn't click for, may not be aware of it) even if in general I would argue that the majority of people with an opinion would be against it.

But a couple of dates and quotes cannot settle that question, nor can my feelings on the matter. I could be very wrong, the majority of opinion on the matter could still be pro-postel.
I wonder if that's precisely the sentiment that has been part of the reason the USA has become the country with the highest % of incarcerated people.

You wonder? You could have done a little research and found that prisons in the US aren't filled with people that stole 11 billion dollars and got more than 2 years in prison.

> what makes a MacOS app "native"?

For me, it has three parts:

1) Does it look native at a pixel level? In other words, does it use a standard Mac window and title bar and buttons and widgets and all the rest?

2) Is it organized according to Mac UX conventions? Does it put commands in the menu bar rather than inside of windows? Are menu items where you'd expect? Is the "Settings..." command where you'd expect, and is the Settings dialog laid out in standard tabs or icons across the top, rather than something else (like a list box on the left)?

3) Does it respect all standard gestures and shortcuts and animations? If I press opt+left in a textbox, will the cursor jump to the previous word? If I press cmd+right, will it jump to the end of the text? If I scroll down, will it bounce at the bottom?

That's what it means. And it's desirable for 1) aesthetics, 2) understandability, and 3) usability directly corresponding to those three points. Aesthetics is less important but it's still nice. Understandability is important because I don't want to hunt for a command when it's not where I'd expect. And usability is critical because when I cmd+right in a text box and it doesn't work, it's incredibly frustrating.

Obviously, "native" is not a binary but is rather a continuum. And yes, even Apple's own apps are not always 100% at the "native" end, especially with stuff they've designed in conjunction with iOS. Which I think a lot of Mac users find frustrating.
"Just because a study doesn't replicate, doesn't make it false."

This is a subtle point, but truth or falsity isn't really the issue. The problem with a non-replicable study is that the rest of science can't build on it. You can't build your PhD on top of a handful of studies that turn out to be non-replicable, and so on. It is true you can't build science on outright false statements, either, but true statements that aren't adequately reproducible are also not a solid enough foundation. That may seem counterintuitive, but it comes down to this truth not being binary; even if a study comes to a nominally true conclusion it still matters if it didn't do it via the correct method, or is somehow otherwise deficient in the path it took to get there. Studies are more than just the headline result in the abstract.

But the whole process of science right now is based on building up over time. How could it not be? It has to be, of course. But non-replicable studies mean that the things you're trying to build on them are non-replicable too. It doesn't take all that much before you're just operating in a realm of flights of fancy where you may "feel" like you're on solid ground because of all the Science you're sitting on top of, but it's all just so much air.

However, it is also true that non-replicability is a signal of falsity, and that is simply due to the fact that the vast, vast, vast, exponential majority of all possible hypotheses are false. As is another subtle point, a scientist engaging in science properly should probably not come to that conclusion and may not want to change their priors about something because of a non-reproducible study very much, but externally, from the generalized perspective of "what is true and is not true" where science is merely one particularly useful tool and not the final arbiter, I may be justified in taking non-replicable studies and updating my priors to increase the odds of the hypothesis being false. After all, at the very least, a non-replicable study tends to put an upper bound on the ability of the hypothesis to be true (e.g., if someone studies whether or not substance X kills bacteria Y, and it turns out not to reproduce very well, the lack of reproducibility does fairly strongly establish it can't be that lethal).

Keep in mind that many departments have so-called "weed out" classes designed to test your persistence and fortitude. Engineering is (in)famous for that as is pre-med - as both are disciplines featuring challenging working environments. They need a way to test whether you can "hack it" at the job or whether your slot should be made available for somebody else who can.

We can discuss whether this is the most effective way to make such an evaluation, but oftentimes this is what's being done.

Mine is halfway there. It uses a static site generator that I built for another website which I run for a living. It’s also used as a reference implementation for that static site generator.

The problem is that a simple setup becomes too simple for certain purposes. If you edit content for a living, you gain more from useful features than you lose from complexity.

In my case, every feature I added was to make my work easier: constants, linters, image compression etc. I suspect that the author here also faces the same issue.

I think this is vastly overrated:

- how much code actually gets read outside of top 2-3 projects?

- how many of those readers can detect security problems?

- why are others inherently better at detecting problems than the author?

Wouldn’t 1000 lines read by 2 people be better than a million read by 10?
The sqlite db is on disk sync'd down to the clients from our service.

The client is responsible for checking with our servers and, if rule updates are found, downloading a new database file. To avoid locking and contention issues, these are each uniquely named, and which DB is "current" is just updated.

Note: This is only in "managed" mode. If you'd rather, you can distribute a SQLite database of the rules alongside your app.

> butter cures cancer

You jest, but there's some small (<10%) cohort of cancers for whom minimizing available glucose will significantly slow their growth (obviously not stop or reverse), allowing more time for other treatments. Tumors in general tend to be highly glycolytic, and making the body's fuel mix oriented toward fatty acids and ketone bodies may help in these cases.

> The department store was a place where women could escape their houses or apartments and spend time in surroundings That were much more expensive and attractive. Marble floors, decorated walls, mirrors and glass, finely finished display cases, and quality goods all contributed to a pleasant environment. Seasonal changes in decoration and products kept the experience fresh.

I guess it was that way at some time in upscale neighborhoods, but what I remember as a kid is linoleum and cheap worn out commercial carpet floors, the stink of cleaning chemicals, low ceilings and dim light, and unceasing elevator music. It nonetheless kept women zoned out ambling through the halls for hours. John Romero got it right when he portrayed it in his zombie movies.

The low energy music, the spread out merchandise, the allure of "sales" that could be down the next aisle, no visible windows to the outside... these stores were engineered to get people zoned out and lose track of time. Like casinos with less bells and flashing lights.
I like the UI more. It's native and feels snappier. But I don't use it as my main code editor - rather just as a text editor. I also edit markdown for my website with it. And do light PHP development with it (essentially just a few scripts).

I don't know if I would use Nova to actually develop anything more serious. Haven't looked to deep into it and I like my devtools to be opensource or at least have the feeling of them being maintained for very long. (Text editors tend to die very often).

An easy way around this is to have kids include their friends as characters. Even if it's just a name and reasonable facsimile. And add some silly humor.

Yet another run and jump platformer game with a made-up character is going to be boring. A platformer where Billy from down the street farts jelly beans every time he jumps will probably get a few playthoughs and shares.

Currently LLM’s have pretty limited context windows and limited ability to come up with brand new ideas, right? But they do write very confidently.

Surely nobody like that is working there…

It is not something to strive for. It is offered as a warning.

Like how the US suggests 50 mSv/year for occupational radiation exposure. That doesn't mean you should go out and purposefully expose yourself to radiation to hit 50 mSv. You still want to minimize exposure to the greatest extent possible. The figure indicates the danger zone where if you see yourself drawing near, you need to get off the path you are going down.
Not having data is not the equivalent of only talking in opinions. I will tell you rhat gathering data can and usually is tedious in many things. If I have to measure every single thing to make any argument, I'm quitting. Looking and thinking in data isn't a bad idea, but if it's just used as a crutch in an argument, then what I think the OP is arguing is that their manager is using it as a tool to make decisions but likely only the decisions they disagree with. As an engineer, I know many times that changes I make are going to work better, sans some fancy chart. If they're not, I think they'll show up on a graph one way or another and I think it's also healthy to be told my assumptions are wrong sometimes and I will happily revert my code. But I've never seen any org make purely data driven decisions as it is truly difficult to do, and whoever is saying things like that probably is selectively using that argument to get their way.
"My account" is innocent enough, compared to some other real life examples. And it sometimes doesn't come from marketing, but from development too.

I've worked in company which added a "funny" codename to everything: features, libraries, sprints, sections of backoffice interface. I don't know, maybe for some developers it makes things more engaging, for me it added a ton of unnecessary stuff to memorize or look up.

Also one of the reasons I don't like AWS. You really can call a router just "router", virtual machine "virtual machine" and so on.

When Google removed the ability to set default results to 100 I was more upset than the average user [1]. (after discussing with others, it became apparent I use the full 100 and beyond much more than most; guess I'm weird).

This is why it's a hard pill to swallow. In the worst case, unprecedented matter, this white-collar crime gets 2 years.

People, particularly poor and often black Americans, have gotten 20+ years for possession.

It stings. We're trying to go back and remedy some of those absurd punishments but still, there is a stark and obvious unfairness here. And that sucks. All we can hope is that, going forward, we treat our more vulnerable groups with more dignity. But I agree, she shouldn't face harsher punishment.
Josh is known for breaking down programming concepts with slick interactive visualizations and fancy animations. So step zero is, garner a reputation for building that sort of stuff and people will be curious about how you made it.

Thank you for providing an example of exactly what I mean by "yeah, but if we just squint harder..."

It is generally considered very unlikely that BBs will just compose together lower level BBs in any comprehensible manner because that very human-comprehensible composibility is itself going to be a waste of states that could be used to do something simply incomprehensible. It is very, very unlikely that BB(100) will consist even of parts a human can understand. It will be a monolithic whole of impenetrable incomprehensibility.

When you say TMs can often be analyzed in terms of smaller ones, you are talking about human-built TMs. We have to build that way. We can't work with the raw chaos. You can see this in our design in every field; we have to work in modules. BBs do not and will not.

He is French, so there's a bit of national pride mixed in there.

But, in the real world, AI data centers are going to be what say 4% of global electricity in 2030, nuclear will probably maintain their 10% as electricity usage goes up.

So data centers are going to absorb half of the nuclear rollout, most of which exists today, so they can claim to be green and get priority access to this reliable source while the other 96% of the global economy has a slight setback in carbon and puts up with the scraps he leaves us?

They'd be doing a greater service to the world if they connected to the grid and just paid for clean renewables energy to be fed into the grid.

Which is indeed what the 3 Mile Island announcement will do, except with an expensive nuclear refurb.

It sounds like we don’t know enough to even consider landing a probe, let alone something completely unprecedented like drilling a deep hole. This mission, if I understand the article, will attempt to determine the depth of the surface, its constituency, and possibly the constituency of what’s below it. It may be that Europa is not geothermally active as we hope, and is made up entirely of ice and other simple inorganic compounds. That would likely shift our efforts to other, more promising targets of exploration in the solar system. Drilling is many steps ahead of where we are at.
