We have more than one wealthy and powerful person. They're rarely all on the same side.

So regardless of how courts rule on most issues, one could almost always argue they're taking the side of wealth and power and against the side of wealth and power.

And data is inanimate in the dictionary definition sense of it not being alive. That other things can move it doesn't make it animate.
No, we apparently can't, because every time someone attempts to do that, we don't end up with a usable end state or product that people actually want to use or participate in.

Perhaps we just haven't had success yet, and it's not impossible. But such desired outcomes tend to also require everyone to "be the same" (knowledge, skills, capabilities) or "want the same" (desire to spend time and attention on this sort of thing etc.) and that's not how people work.
Your price could simply be an interface that both Student and Employee implements, and at the call site, you simply call foo.calculatePrice - Student will calculate it one way and Employee another, there is zero need for inheritance, or for the call site to know which object is which of the two types - all it needs to know is it has the calcultePrice interface.

I also prefer pattern matching over dynamic dispatch. But I maintain that conjuring up attributes out of thin air (which is 100% what you're doing when your function accepts one type, and then inside, conjures up another, that has additional attributes from the input!) is insane. There are so many good reasons not to want to do this I don't even know where to begin. For one, it's a huge footgun for when you add another type that inherits - the compiler will NOT force you to add new branches to cover that case, even though you may want it to. Also, such "reusable" if this then do this else do that methods when allowed to propagate through the stack means every function is no longer a function, it's actually *n functions, so ease of grokking and maintainability goes out the window. It's much better to relegate such ifs to the edges of the system (eg the http resource endpoint layer) and from there call methods that operate on what you want them to operate on, and do not require ifs.
> We expect any lawmaker worthy of that title to listen to what this federal court is saying and create a legislative warrant requirement so that the intelligence community does not continue to trample on the constitutionally protected rights to private communications.

Sad to say it, but I find it laughable that the intel agencies would suddenly stop if it were illegal (though of course it should be illegal). They operate in secret and anyone in the government who opposes them will commit suicide or suddenly be in possession of child pornography.

As New York Sen. Chuck Schumer once told Rachel Maddow on air, “Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday of getting back at you.” [1]

That's not how it works for millions upon millions of Americans that are not fortunate enough to work at a job that provides tens of thousands of dollars in healthcare insurance as a benefit.

Wal-Mart provides pretty decent health insurance and they hire anyone. If you don’t have health insurance, it’s a choice.
Oof, I strongly disagree with this article's description of how REST apis are used, and the distinction between openAPI and rest. If I design a REST api in 2023, and in 2024 produce an openapi yaml or json file for that API with no other changes, is it somehow no longer a REST api? of course not. The article seems to be predicated on this distinction.

> The least-commonly used API model is REST

Is that true? I don't think it is frankly, though I suppose if any API that would be a REST api _if it didn't have an openapi spec_ is somehow no longer a REST api, then maybe? But as previously stated, I just don't think that's true.

> A signature characteristic of [REST APIs] is that clients do not construct URLs from other information

I don't think this is true in practice. Let us consider the case of a webapp that uses a REST api to fetch/mutate data. The client is a browser, and is almost certainly using javascript to make requests. Javascript doesn't just magically know how to access resources, your app code is written to construct urls (example: getting an ID from the url, and then constructing a new url using that extracted ID to make an api call to fetch that resource). In fact, the only situation where I think this description of how a REST api is used is _defensibly_ true (and this is hella weak), is where the REST api in question has provided an openapi spec, and from that spec, you've converted that into a client library (example: https://openapi-ts.dev). In such a situation, the client has a nice set of functions to call that abstract away the construction of the URL. But somewhere in the client, _urls are still being constructed_. And going back to my first complaint about this article, this contrived situation combines what the article states are two entirely distinct methods for designing apis (rest vs openapi).

Re: the article's description of rpc, I actually don't have any major complaints.

I get that today's laws do allow for taxing estate transfers as a taxable event. The personal concern I was raising is that I don't thing it should be taxable, not whether today's laws allow for taxing it.

When my parents die, assuming they go before me, I don't see why the government should be involved. To be clear, my parents are well below estate tax thresholds, but the underlying premise is the same. Someone's relative dying and leaving them an estate shouldn't by a taxable event as far as um concerned.

$66B should be a lot of money, but our federal government doesn't know what it means to balance a budget. We could easily cut $66B in current spending if we cared.

This gets really subtle and tricky. This type of thing is closely linked to biological weapons research and we want collaboration and transparency to an extent to maintain access to information.
I wish more people still held this view. When in doubt a government should avoid acting for fear of unintended consequences.

> ... even among the people who voted for the incoming administration (who only represent a third or so of eligible American voters and an even smaller share of American people), this isn't what many of them were voting for.

Yes it is. I understand the argument that this type of outcome wasn't their motivation for the ballot they cast. But it's also an entirely predictable outcome of their vote, which to me means this is exactly what they were voting in favor of happening.

I think one of the biggest issues with democracy in the US and probably democratic countries in general is infantilizing voters into being able to take credit for their intent rather than judging them based on the totality of the outcome of their choices. If you buy an Italian sports car because it's cool and your spouse is mad because it's also unreliable and can't fit your childrens' car seats, it's generally not considered a wise defense to say you only picked it based on the 0-60 time so it's not your fault it was less great by other metrics. Democracy would be a lot better off if we thought about voting the same way.
$15 for 1gpbs is insane. That was costing me $120+ over on Vancouver Island. If you want a good deal wait for BF / CM / Boxing Week. I upgraded to 3gbps fibre for $75/mo from Telus over boxing week. Almost as good a deal as your Internet in Ukraine.
It is censorship but it's not widespread or a violation of the first amendment.
What I think we're re-discovering is that it's not so straightforward to tell while it's happening. I'm willing to bet during the rise of people like Mussolini, Pol Pot, Stalin, Hitler, etc. many people were concerned, and many others were saying it was nothing and they were just being hyperbolic. However, it was the same with times when it didn't turn out like that.

What concerns me most about this, is the general attitude of entirely dehumanizing specific groups of people. That, I expect, is the crux that makes atrocities possible, and it is happening now.
Yeah, I tried (not so hard) to like and use tailwind, but I've been using bootstrap for so long, and for my very simple needs, bootstrap was a better choice. But I wouldn't go around saying, "tailwind is unnecessary for everyone."
I take it you haven't encountered the contempt that Trump supporters have for "mainstream science," particularly anything to do with biomedicine? Not even remotely a stretch. Ever since COVID they view those "health research capabilities" in the same way everyone else views the experimentation of Joseph Goebbels and Unit 731. Most of them still think Biden and Fauci cooked it up in a lab.
Someone just shared an extension that inserts random jump scares onto social media sites that you want to avoid. Maybe adding jump scares to work applications can help people blink more often, too.
Even if these idiots wanted subtlety they're too stupid to make it happen. They just want to do big, bold things but have no idea how to actually make anything better.
As others have said, his actions are all straight from the project 2025 playbook. Go read page 284, it's very explicit about them viewing it as politicized and wanting to fix that (read actually politicize it):

"The incestuous relationship between the NIH, CDC, and vaccine makers—with all of the conflict of interest it entails—cannot be allowed to continue, and the revolving door between them must be locked. As Severino writes, “Funding for scientific research should not be controlled by a small group of highly paid andunaccountable insiders at the NIH, many of whom stay in power for decades. The NIH monopoly on directing research should be broken.” What’s more, NIH has long “been at the forefront in pushing junk gender science.” The next HHS secretary should immediately put an end to the department’s foray into woke transgender activism."
I clicked the "what's a jumpscare?" link and now my bpm are through the roof I'm so dumb
I had a week long argument with a PM once about preview icons appearing in a list. Although it was in a design everyone already agreed on, and I had finished implementing it, after she saw it she pushed back and said it “added no value”. I asked her to explain how she determined that, to which she said, “it adds no product value”. From that point on, I’ve hated PM’s and run them out of every company I can.
I'm tired of hearing that people aren't informed.

They were informed. Trump told them that science is crap, that tariffs are good, that we should punish immigrants, that he would pardon the jan 6th people, etc.

This is what people voted for and what they wanted. Hate and retribution.

When Democrats finally stop with this false narrative that if only people knew better, they'd vote for Democrats, maybe we'll start actually winning again.
No idea about the cost, there were some tidbits from 10 years ago: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/the-aws-cloud-goes-undergro...

* Negative reinforcement: [Removing] something so that entity does the action [more]

* Positive punishment: [Adding] something so that entity does the action [less]

* Negative punishment: [Removing] something so that entity does the action [less]

P.S.: Note that this intentionally avoids diving into exactly how the Entity judges the Something. It's not always clear, even if in many cases you can guess.

That was never proven. A key reason why that was never proven was because a proven, as in proven beyond a reasonable doubt and convicted, corrupt federal agent had access to everything needed to fabricate the extremely limited evidence they used to insinuate it.

Do you know how rarely LEOs getting convicted of anything? If there wasn't a mountain of evidence that Ulbricht ran the silk road, the entire case might have been rereparable tainted.
FWIW, I was around (i.e. working on NIH funded grants) for the last transition, and I don't remember this happening. I agree and hope that it might not be an ominous sign, but I don't think it's the norm. We're being asked to pull out of not only conferences, but even out of cross-organizational Zoom chats that involve certain institutions. Where I work, the people who've been doing this longer than me are not saying "relax everybody, this is fine," they seem to be freaking out a little bit too.
That fancy algorithm is relevant to RISC-V (and in fact, most fixed-length ISAs) because loading an immediate into a register needs one or two instructions depending on the immediate; you surely want to elide a redundant LUI instruction if you can. Of course such redundant instructions don't harm by itself, but that equally applies to x86 as the algorithm is an optimization.
I prefer eSIM too and look forward to them becoming universal. The Lycamobile UK plan I used was an eSIM.
hahah, I am a real human, but good one :P I can prove my humanity, if you could.
I'd argue that this concept for media is most commonly known as "playlists" and unfortunately only used within data silos, e.g. a playlist of YouTube videos, a Spotify playlist, a TV season of episodes, a series of episodes, a trilogy, etc.
(Yes, I'd argue that your music library of mp3 files is also kind of a silo, although portable)
Heck, even a slideshow is arguably a playlist.

I agree that putting a playlist-like concept into, say, the filesystem would be an extremely interesting idea but I think a big danger is running into the same problem as hardlinks and symlinks.
This problem is that if a file is "present" in multiple places (or playlists) deleting/modifying/moving it can have unforeseen consequences and it's hard to reason about (and if you copy the file now you get to invent a way to track different versions too!).
I think this is also holding tagging filesystems back.

I'm currently writing a non-hierarchical FUSE filesystem and have been thinking about this list-directory concept but I'm still not completely sure how it would work, especially since I need to remain backwards compatible with the POSIX interfaces.
Will probably have to just try it out (xattrs to the rescue?) and see what sticks I suppose...

There's another massive thing to highlight with this. Atomic Energy had a death and "fixed" the issues. Then they had more deaths.

It really highlights the fact that proper and adequate testing is absolutely and unquestionably required for a system like this, and that if you don't have testing and issues do occur, then you're essentially just going to keep creating issues for yourself while fixing the issues you created in the first place.

I think you just want to be reassured that your position is correct; it doesn’t seem like this is a good faith reflection. You’re saying “what happened to the rule of law” without showing evidence that it doesn’t exist anymore and tacitly implying the left has been yhr virtuous party of laws. People on the right might ask a similar question. They might wonder why a leftist DA would think someone that kills a baby and assassinates others should be given “non-carceral punishment”. I mean, come on. Can you really look at the state of the UK abs think “this is going in a great direction and we need more of what the left is doing”?

Hard disagree from the backend world.

From one protocol change you can statically determine which of your downstream consumers needs to be updated and redeployed. That can turn weeks of work into a hour long change.

You know that the messages you accept and emit are immediately validated. You can also store them cheaply for later rehydration.

You get incredibly readable API documentation with protos that isn't muddled with code and business logic.

You get baked in versioning and deprecation semantics.

You have support for richer data structures (caveat: except for maps).

In comparison, JSON feels bloated and dated. At least on the backend.

Nonsense. If you live in one of the ~40 states where the outcome is a foregone conclusion, who you vote for makes no more difference than it does in Russia. It’s reasonable to protest by refusing to participate in that unfair system, and doing so doesn’t mean you support one candidate or the other.
