There is no confusion if you understand that Inheritance is just a "mechanism" to express three (and maybe more) different kinds of "policies" and a single class may implement any or all of them in which case it becomes important to disambiguate which methods/functions express which "policies". There is a abstract concept and a syntactical expression of that concept which needs to be clear in one's mind.

Again, asserts are just the "mechanism" to express pre/post/inv "policies" in code. Without having an understanding of pre/post/inv from the pov of Hoare Logic, merely using asserts will not give you much benefit. Documentation is quite important here.

Both the above can be seen in the design of the Eiffel Language where they are integrated into proper syntactical mechanisms. Once you understand the concepts here, you can apply them explicitly even if your language does not support the needed syntax (eg. Contracts). See Bertrand Meyer's OOSC2 for details - https://bertrandmeyer.com/oosc2/ Specifically "Design-by-Contract (DbC)" and "Inheritance Techniques" and "Using Inheritance well".

I'd argue more have died from drug regulations than the Nazis, particularly when you factor in how DEA licensing and FDA approval corruption stifles access to medicine, and how prohibition fosters violence without meaningfully curbing harmful drug use.
We need pardon reform.

I’d argue the President should not be allowed to issue pardons that are:

(1) Preëmptive (i.e. absent conviction);

(2) To himself, his current or former Cabinet members, or to any of the foregoing’s current or former spouses or children or grandchildren (or their spouses); or

(3) Issued after the presidential election in the final year of their term.

Furthermore, pardons for violent offences or corruption should be prohibited; provided, however, the President should retain the power to commute such sentences, and the Congress should have the power to regulate the manner in which the President may commute such sentences.

(Notably, I don’t believe this would apply to Ulbricht. He wasn’t convicted of a violent crime.)
That's not what rule of law is. Rule of law requires following the established constitutional order which the Nazis did not. A feudal king ruling on his whims has many laws, but there is not rule of law.
This is a money making scheme.

> there are no working analogs in the US to use as an approved guide

small reactors have been installed on ships and submarines for over 70(!) years now. Reading up on the very first one, USS Nautilus, "the conceptual design of the first nuclear submarine began in March 1950" it took a couple of years? So why is it so unthinkably hard 70 years later, honest question? "Military doesn't care about cost" is not good enough, there are currently about >100 active ones with who knows how many hundreds in the past, so they must have cracked the cost formula at some point, besides by now we have hugely better tech than the 50's, so what gives?
I wonder how concepts are "learned" or how they evolve.

It is, though. The word "people" here refers in aggregate to the citizens who voted in November. It would be equally accurate for me to say "This is what we voted for" even though it's not what I voted for.
I actually didn't know this so it's new to me but maybe I'm missing the nuances of English..

There is only 1 quantity in 0.. Or inversely there is a singular ABSENSE of a quantity. So how it's explained in the answer doesn't really explain it for me.

Edit: I also have a problem understanding "On accident" when for me it's surely "By accident". English is strange.
The problem, as far as I see it, isn't electronic invoicing in itself, or even the format. It's the usage of the PEPPOL network. The network isn't free. Nothing is stopping anyone from creating invoices in UBL format and sending those by email (or any other means). But in countries where usage of the PEPPOL network is required, that's no longer an option.
Thank you for the additional feedback.
1. Good idea it should look better

I don't think there's anything fundamentally wrong with the gig economy model - it's a way of working that suits some workers and clients. But the balance of power needs to be shifted towards the workers (and clients) and away from the platforms.

I think this article is spot on. Platforms obfuscate their algorithms, and use that secrecy to play workers off against each other, and against their clients. Regulation would really help. There ought to be a right to...

1. An official explanation for each decision the algorithm makes. That could then be used as the basis for mandatory arbitration, if a party believes it's unfair.

2. Effective, and timely support from a human being, if that's required.

Together those would force the platforms to make their systems fairer (else be swamped by dealing with arbitration decisions), and easy to navigate (else be swamped by costly support calls).

I first read about prof Kroemer when I was researching on semiconductor heterojunctions. Later on I learnt about his lemma and his quote always stayed with me

Would love to read about any interesting stories you may have about him.
3. Compile time safety.

That’s what I use types mostly for. I don’t care about compiler hints, well structured code with sane naming conventions solves that problem without the need for types. But I do want my program to fail to compile (or in JIT-land, fail unit tests / CICD) when I do something stupid with a variable.

The former is about typing speed and I already type faster than I think. The latter is about guardrails protecting me from my own human error. And that is a far more realistic problem than my IDE performance.
Can you hear yourself? Are you really saying that "drug regulation" has caused more death than the tens of millions who died in ww2? Not to mention the millions and millions of people whose lives have been saved by drug regulation as they are not exposed to harmful drugs from charlatans.
The Académie française does not edict official rules. Nobody does, there is no official governing authority for the French language but the ministry of Education is the main reference in France. Their rules are generally used for official documents, and since they decide what gets taught to children that's what becomes the normal language when the children become adults.

Also, it costs about 1 million euros per year[0], I wouldn't call that very expensive on the scale of a country like France. Even if it's absolutely useless.

In practice, zero is normally singular in French unless you want to show that there is none of a number of things ("zéro produits artificiels", "zéro émissions").

I hate how teenagers can't help but post their age when it comes achievements like it makes them special. 'hai im 15 and i hack billion dollar companies in my spare time.' This is cringe AF. I don't care if they're "only a teenager." Presumably, the age was written to signal how le special they are and not liek other teenagers. So if you want special treatment learn how to be modest and don't over-exaggerate your achievements. Any adult who managed to read past this sentence is a bigger person than I am.

An 18 year old lad from my village, who had just started a job programming, bought a drug from an online “pharmacy” and it turned out to be spiked with a synthetic opioid (N-pyrrolidino-etonitazene) and he died in his sleep at home, alone.

On your point about spiked products - it’s clearly a problem for online illegal drugs as well as those bought on the street.

The problem is, you don’t get to leave a bad review if you’re dead.
The people he "tried to kill" were fabrications of two FBI agents in an entrapment scheme who both ended up in prison shortly after Ross.
I suspect it is the difference between saying “1 book” and “none of the books”. The former is singling out a single book, but saying zero books is highlighting the negative of all books. Ergo, “0 books” is plural, because it is excluding all the books instead of including a specific subset.
You're splitting hairs. The constitutional framework is clear - federal law has priority over state law.

The only relevant aspect is whether the president has an obligation to enforce federal law or not. And the precedent is very clear: they do not.
Fun fact - in Polish we have separate forms for 1 (singular), 2-4 (plural but nit many) and everything else. Zero is in “everything else”

0 książek

0.5 książki

1 książka

2,3,4 książki

2.5 książki

5 and above książek

5.5 (any other fraction) książki

>100 and a fraction - depends

Singular is for one.

The first plural is for things kind of treated as individual objects.

The second plural is for things that are treated as a bulk/mass.

The moment you use a fraction, the assumption is that you would need to count all I guess, so it’s treated as individual objects.

From this perspective, zero of something is zero plural-not-easily countable. Kind of “Zero OF books” like “Ten OF books”, with of being implied by the form of the word.
The solution is a commutation, not a pardon.
And that's fair, that's how all the big tech companies of today were founded. But only people who are in an already comfortable position that they can take the risk can do that, which requires either financial support, still living at home, having passive income to live off of, etc. And even if you have all that, I believe you need to be a special and rare type of person to have an idea and have the self-motivation, energy, discipline, and optimism to bring it to life.
I am not sure that it's a function of English language per se. I speak several language and it's the same story with all of them and one of those languages is Slavic so it comes from a very different root. That said, Greece is a rock throw away and I think the ancient Greek mathematicians(Pythagoras primarily) might have something to do with it: The Egyptians were the first known to use symbols to represents parts of something but it wasn't until the Greeks introduced fractions to express a quantifiable representation of sub-divisions of a unit, making the sub-division it's own unit: you need 4 * 1/4-th's of something to make it to 1 complete unit.

Then again, I could be wrong.
One system will be god like and then it doesn't matter
I sincerely didn't mean to minimize the harm to sex workers, which is devastating.

My point is rather that an online marketplace in the absence of decriminalization and reform can only provide a marginal increase in safety. Sex workers marketing on Backpage, Craigslist, Onlyfans, and IG still face a great deal of risk of violence, pressure from pimps, and prosecution by law enforcement. It's a deeply complex systematic issue which can't be fixed by a website.

For drugs in particular, darknet marketplaces primarily rely on unspeakably violent criminal enterprises upstream. The consumers, sellers, and communities implicated in this supply chain are all losers in this system. The cartels are the winners and the global "war on drugs" establishment are a close second place.
You forgot the part where everything has to be redone every 5-10 years despite grand allusions of reusability because of the cyclic nature of the frontend market. The JS framework proliferation is largely driven by skills becoming obsolete (or needing to become obsolete for economic reasons) as younger frontend devs move in who want to carve their niche and distance themselves from "horrible" previous-gen unmaintainable and wayyy overengineered stuff. Which was objectively unmaintainable either from the start as a work of love of a developer who put all his thoughts into it so it became incomprehensible ;) or became unmaintainable when later developers (who couldn't care less) had to violate the original grand vision of state encapsulation or hypermedia architecture or whatever for a trivial business form app.

I guess the good thing is that comprehending our absurd web frontend creations is beyond current LLM's capabilities.
I'm not well informed on the precise situation in the UK, I only get bits here and there from remarks in media (I don't consume much mainstream media) but it looks like it's getting pretty bad.

Don't worry, France (where I'm from) is following very closely in the massive destruction happening under the weight of the dominant ideology.

Metternich, the Austrian chancellor once said: "When France Sneezes, the Rest of Europe Catches a Cold".
So maybe we should worry a bit but at the same time France is nowhere near as relevant as it once was, so maybe we are just spectators of the fall of a once dominant culture.

The problem with downvoting is that it's just people refusing to engage in a productive debate because it hurts their feeling about what is supposedly good or bad.

Both are solid and will do the job.

Ansible is a little bit easier to get started for a few reason (yaml instead of a DSL, ssh only...) ; it's also mostly tasks running through SSH which may feel a bit more "natural" when you are configuring machines initially.

In terms of idempotency I find it is easier in ansible to mess up something but if you are careful they are on par. I've used mostly ansible over the past few years in various jobs but the first I got in touch with ~10 years ago was puppet and it felt very solid especially for heterogeneous environments (we had different archs and OSes to manage). Also puppet scales very well because it has agents as well as many tools to manage large infrastructures which I tried and were already quite convenient 10 years ago.

TL;DR probably use ansible unless you have a very specific use case.
Instead of asking what the government can do for you, ask what the idea behind government programs are and what it seeks to overcome.

I've often thought this. It feels like there should be two languages, one for the implementation of the parts, and another to design/architect the software using the parts, allowing the design/architect language to focus on the high level architecture of the software and the implementation language to focus on the parts. We currently use the same language for both, and mix the two areas as we program

I love this comic.

There's an idea in psychology called the illusion of explanitory depth. It's the idea that everyone has much more confidence in their understanding of how things work, even the most mundane and apparantly simple things, than is warranted. In turn we tend to hugely underestimate the difficulty, complexity and skill in jobs we have never done.

The world is absolutely full of utterly prosaic objects that are far more sophisticated that we imagine, either in their function and design or in their manufacture.

Most people overestimate how well they would cope in some post-apocalyptic world. But I think even many people who regard themselves as prepared, underestimate how much skill and sheer effort is involved in making really simple things like rope. To do more than just scrape by you would need to reconstruct a society of specialists, it won't be the rugged individualists.
Or if they have everything lined up already - idea, investors, customers, staff, support network, etc.

That said, even then, within the established tech companies there is space for innovation; if you can sell your idea within the company you work for, you have a lot more chance of success, and if you fail, you still have a job at least and / or you got paid during.

The controlled substance act violated the constitution as it regulates even intrastate trade of drugs. It relies on the tyrannical Wickard V Filburn ruling which says intrastate commerce is actually interstate commerce. The charges against Ross relied on law that flagrantly transgress the 10th amendment of the US constitution as written and as enforced.

This is why they needed an actual amendment to nationally ban, say, home made liquor.

>The rule of law is a political and legal ideal that all people and institutions within a country, state, or community are accountable to the same laws, including lawmakers, government officials, and judges.

But the Nazis themselves were accountable to their own laws. It was a highly lawful state. Only the laws were pretty fucked because the society lacked any morality.

I see it somewhat differently. It is not that technology has reached a level where we are close to AGI, we just need to throw in a few more coins to close the final gap.
It is probably the other way around. We can see and feel that human intelligence is being eroded by the widespread use of LLMs for tasks that used to be solved by brain work. Thus, General Human Intelligence is declining and is approaching the level of current Artificial Intelligence. If this process can be accelerated by a bit of funding, the point where Big Tech can overtake public opinion making will be reached earlier, which in turn will make many companies and individuals richer faster, also the return on investment will be closer.
