I've used nested functions for a very long time with gcc and they are completely reliable. Since my code is embedded without an MMU the oh noes executable stack doesn't fill me with any dread.

It's unfortunate a lot of the standards guys are horrified by anything that isn't C89. Because if the executable stack is an issue it's worth fixing.

Side note: 20 years ago people thought if they made the stack non executable that would totally fix stack smashing attacks and unfortunately it only slows down script kiddies.
We kind of did, twice, and he failed to get the message.

It has been, in the past customary for leaders of parties that fail to win a majority (after being in a minority) mandate to resign. That Trudeau a) called the last election at all and b) failed to resign after getting the same result as when they entered into it... is frustrating.

It certainly created an appearance of weakness that I suspect fed into the situation with the convoy.

Also probably tactically stupid, because he got to hold the blame for all the post-COVID problems.

It isn't what the market wanted, and by market I mean OEMs, because I'm sure consumers would have loved it.

The OEMs buying APUs to use in laptops and SFF desktops were more interested in cutting costs than boosting graphics performance. Users who want better 3D performance can buy a higher end laptop with a discrete GPU and juicier profit margin.

> The US is so weird about its currency. The repeated attempts to get rid of the dollar bill (dollar coins, two-dollar bill, etc.) have all "failed".

> I put "failed" in quotes, because all it requires is for the government to do it. Take the one-dollar bills out of circulation, no discussion, done. At this point, take the two-dollar bills (no one will notice) and the penny as well.

The US electorate is no stranger to single issue voting. If one party spearheads the elimination of the dollar bill, expect them to lose the next several rounds of elections and the other party to reinstate dollar bills. If it's bipartisan, expect a dollar bill party to surface and reinstate dollar bills.

Also, I don't think the $2 bill has anything to do with trying to get rid of the $1 bill? They've been produced most years since 1862, just a 10 year hiatus between 1966 and 1976.
He increased size of Federal government by 43% since 2015 - from Grok: "By March 31, 2024, the federal government's payroll included 367,772 employees, up from 257,034 in 2015."

That's 110,738 new people on pay roll - but not that are actually productive for the economy, they are counted but are not the same as free market jobs - they're actually the opposite and a negative to the economy.

This also doesn't account for the economic harm and suffocation to local Canadians already here struggling to find work, much of the work instead going to the millions of temporary foreign workers and those on student visas.
I've told people about this event before and they couldn't believe it! Then I tried to research it more, find more depictions and there's frustratingly little online. Began to make me wonder whether it was a prank.
>Hah! Try to separate your domain logic from your interfaces

Im not an amateur.

The only time I dont do this is when there literally is no domain logic yet (e.g. a CRUD app).

>In my experience, these gaps are what's typically expensive, not the weird problem a junior had with properly using Redis or S3.

What can I say? Your experience might not be as broad as mine.

Redis is a source of almost no bugs because it is very well designed, but most interfaces I couple to have design qualities that are the exact opposite of redis's.

Those interfaces (e.g. wonky payment gateway APIs, weird microservice APIs) are the probably source of most bugs in enterprise systems I work on.

#2 is probably simple misspecifications (customer said code should do X, it should actually do Y which is almost the same but very slightly different).

#3 would be domain logic errors. And even most of those are uncovered and avoided with saner architecture or a couple of unit tests.

For the parsers I write at home, sure, property testing kicks ass. For your college degree algorithm coursework, sure, it helps a lot. For 95% of business logic? Pointless, the complexity isnt buried deep in the business logic.

Nearly every modern language supports defer in some sense. Unless you are talking about RAII hiding the defer, but that's not the case with a custom Defer type or similar that takes a closure in the constructor.

I lived in the US for around ten years after college and moved back early during COVID. I'd always wanted to go back, and had the possibility of keeping my American salary and working remotely; it seemed like a no-brainer, given how unstable things were feeling in the US at the time.

FWIW, my view of Canada has dimmed considerably. The two things that I felt really set us apart when I left and over those ten years were (and these are intertwined) the stronger Canadian social safety net and the sense that, in general, Canadian culture was kinder, more progressive, smarter, and less racist. But the last few years have really put that to the test. Meanwhile, in my time in the US, I really started to appreciate the aspects of American culture that are lacking up here.

It's been kind of heartbreaking. I was seriously thinking of exploring going back to the US permanently. And then last November happened, and it's too unpalatable at this juncture, once again.
It's more complicated than that. Technically healthcare is a provincial responsibility in the constitution but the feds bought their way into healthcare and regulate it through the Canada Health Act. The Feds cannot legally compel provinces to comply with the CHA but if they don't comply with it, they won't receive the federal health transfers which would essentially bankrupt the province. The province would still be getting taxed at the high federal rates, but without getting it back, to the tune of ~12% of total Provincial revenues.

Coming at it from a separate angle, it would be quite a coincidence if it just so happened that every single province in the country, over decades, has had their healthcare systems failing in basically the same way with the same problems for end users, despite having totally different geographies, economies, even languages, run by all kinds of different provincial parties across the extremes of the political spectrum. The parsimonious explanation is that there's a systematic issue in Canadian Healthcare as it's defined or operates across the country.

Working on Wind Turbines: How a Growing Industry Is Handling Risk
I fully agree. The reddit post is a nothingburger. It feels like it's more about someone wanting to express themselves, or fish for something that might worth good feedback, than someone who actually has something worthwhile to say.

The actual good that this thing has is some feedback for people, to think about whether they want to use these platforms, or not. Being conscious about stuff like these is what I think does good to the world, and the well-being of people.
I don't know if this will help anyone, but my sister is an expert in this area. She is an infectious disease epidemiologist with a couple decades of experience. She was the head of vaccine-preventable epidemiology for one of the states in the U.S., and is now the head of epidemiology data and informatics for that state.

Over the holidays, I was asking her about bird flu because some of the things I was reading were frightening, but I wasn't sure what to make of them.

When I showed her this paper that is linked to in another comment here https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2415890, she responded with this:

Everyone will react differently to the flu. There are kids in her exact situation that have that kind of reaction to the normal flu. However, it is still concerning. If the virus does cause more severe illness overall and it does mutate to become person-to-person, we are in trouble.

That is the hardest thing about public health—you just don't know which way things will swing. So you are always on the edge of either overreacting or underreacting.

When you're outnumbered and draw a gun there is a very high chance of it being taken from you. I think they made the correct decision to retreat in the face of mostly non-violent but overwhelming numbers of rioters. There was obviously one infamous use of force during the whole thing though (Ashli Babbitt) but the police were in a much difference situation than the situation Office Eugene Goodman was in.
I've posted about this before on here, but in the mid-90's I visited the group at the US Army Signal Corps that built their radio simulators. When you opened them up, there were just banks of time-delay relays and ladder logic. It was insane.
Correct, the pandemic led to pent-up demand, and the Great Migration was what happened when job switching became tenable again. But the effects of that pent-up demand are a larger than normal group of people who now have the same relative tenure at their new organizations, and demand is building up again, as more and more people who've been with their company for 3+ years are looking for a change, but can't find one in the current hiring climate. So I predict we'll see a similar wave of large-scale job hopping once conditions become more favorable.

It even seemed bizarre back then to me.

Maybe just give up the ghost and use a new unambiguous term instead of REST. Devs aren't going to let go of their JSON apis as browsers often are not the only, or even main, consumers of said APIs.

Creating frameworks and standards to support "true" RESTful APIs is a noble goal, but for most people it's a matter of semantics as they aren't going to change how they are doing things.

A list of words that have changed meaning, sometimes even the opposite, of their original meaning:

https://ideas.ted.com/20-words-that-once-meant-something-ver...

It seems these two discussions should not be conflated: 1. What RESTful originally meant, and 2. The value of RESTful APIs and when they should and shouldn't be used.
Correct. More critically when he refused to recant that until he was sued, and even then later doubled-down on the accusation. It wasn't just the evil of saying that about someone who isn't a pedophile, it was that he did this in a moment of childish pique at his unworkable, ridiculous, suggestion of a submarine to rescue the kids, being rejected!

This is a tough phase. Children do fight hard to find themselves but they get done in by an authoritative and somewhat disingenuous system that puts them into a mimetic compliant attitude rather than the way they used to act when they were 4 or 5 years of age - their golden age of discovery.

My take is that children need more attention than ever when they've kind of disconnected from the world but the attention needs to be extremely competent as well as caring - a really tough combination.

I have a simpler question about the meaning of "country A occupies country B". Does it simply mean "presence of people who work for country A on the territory of country B"? Maybe excluding the official staff of embassies?

Is the UK occupied by Russia due to the botched assassination of Sergei Skripal using Novichok nerve agent in Salisbury in 2018?

Is Pakistan occupied by the USA because of the US Navy Seals who killed Osama Bin-Laden in 2011?

I assume US special forces are present in many places from time to time if not continuously, although they are also continuously based in many countries.

I assume all serious countries have spies in every single other serious country. If you exclude small and poor countries, everyone occupies everyone? How is this definition useful in any way?

i think the transition API, when it is broadly available for MPAs, could replace a fair number of simple UI use cases of htmx. The main feature it would likely obsolete is the `hx-boost` feature:

There are already people, including people on the core htmx team, who think that hx-boost isn't a great feature:

If that goes away, htmx will be useful for smaller transclusional features at a lower level of complexity, so the two should complement one another in my opinion.

The capitol coup attempt was part of Trump’s coordinated effort to end the republic.

The BLM riots were an aimless mob of malcontents.
The BLM protests:

* were triggered by a horrifying, highly visible racial crime

* were not centrally coordinated

* were not instigated by the sitting president

* did not try to overthrow the lawfully elected government

In other words, two completely different events in terms of cause, scope, and effect. Or are you under the impression that the BLM protests were some sort of Democratic Party operation?

>I hesitate to call them protesters because I don't think they had a permit or a cohesive message beside F* Trudeau

I would assert that so-called "votes of no-confidence" in politicians are legitimate protest, even if they do not criticize any specific policy or behavior. It would be a strange world to live in where protests could or would be shut down and everyone would taunt the protesters with "but you didn't have a cohesive message except Stalin is bad".
There are a few takes.

One is that Elon Musk was able to curry Donald Trump's favor by destroying Twitter and setting an example. If he gets enough political power out of it to justify the cost it might be rational.

Another is that Elon just was not thinking straight. Like having a midlife crisis, possibly complicated by a neurodivergence. Remember how he tried to back out of the deal when the price collapsed but faced a lot of "external pressure?" Plenty of people spend money on something stupid around age 50, he just has a lot more money than most of us.

CHyea no arrests just randomly kidnapping protesters in unmarked vans without charges [0]

Speaking to NPR's All Things Considered on Friday, Homeland Security Acting Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli acknowledged that federal agents had used unmarked vehicles to pick up people in Portland but said it was done to keep officers safe and away from crowds and to move detainees to a "safe location for questioning."

We simply watched different live streams. The BLM rioters may have faced little legal consequences but they were confronted by riot police, rubber bullets and tear gas over and over. The reason the capitol protest looked so peaceful is the security forces did nothing to resist them.
