I get that extensions are scary & dangerous, but it's absurd to me that dynamic code is now verboten.

Your header issue doesn't totally click with me. Because it seems like a separate issue. I agree you should have the day over your user agent! But an extension executing remote code doesn't seem to be a factor.

Remote code means that we can't create extensions with pluggable modularity. We can't build an Yahoo Pipes like thing in the browser. We can't have a repo of cool features that users load into their extensions. Everything has to be made in advance.

So much of the awesomeness of the web is that it's live systems, love code, not dead systems dead code. It's a flexible system. Demanding that extensions have only fixed function dead code eliminates so many possibilities, makes the extension so many million degrees less capable and powerful than the web they are supposed to bestow agency into. (Forgetting the other influences but the alive vs dead systems showed up 2yr ago in Stop writing dead programs, https://jackrusher.com/strange-loop-2022/ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33270235 )

Its absolutely fucking rip roaringly bullshit that remote and dynamic code is prohibited in extensions. I'm fine with it as a default, as requiring some special setting or mode to be flipped, warnings to be clicked through. But it's just such horrible thing to main user agency so blankety, to demand agency be channeled through dead code.

>Do you believe that, as PG says, in 1986 and the following few years, (not now, we'll save that for later, he specifically is talking about the 1980s) this title IX ruling that expanded the definition was misused in a priggish sense, to punish people arbitrarily, and that it did not support women? Talk to some women who were alive at that time, and you'll soon realize that yes, outside of direct sexual advances there are many things that professors would do or say to dehumanize female students. So by giving these students a mechanism to hold professor accountable for dehumanizing them, we are... supporting them!

I have no reason not to believe that Title IX in the 1980s was misused in a priggish sense, other than what you've told me just now.

He doesn't give any examples of how it was misused in the 1980s, but says "...but since for a professor merely being the subject of a sexual harassment complaint would be a disaster whether the complainant was reasonable or not..."

Did this mechanism support women? Perhaps. Was it also misused? Perhaps. Does it support his argument? I don't think I agree that he has an "argument", so much as he is merely telling a story that he believes to be true, and this bit of history is part of that story.

Even if this was never misused in the 1980s, it laid the groundwork for the future.

>Would you trust women in the 1980s to decide for themselves whether or not they were being sexually harassed by a professor in this expanded definition?

Well, I wouldn't trust anyone, in any time period, to have all the power of a judge, jury, and executioner. What I quoted above from footnote 5 indicates that. If there is any kind of accusation, it should be taken seriously, but it should also go through the proper procedure for determining guilt while presuming innocence.

Handing the female students of the 1980s virtually unlimited power to ruin the lives of others with just a word could be said to be "supporting" them, sure, but that comes at the cost of everyone else.

> So who was misusing this? Basically no one.

He gives no examples of this being misused in the 1980s, but he does give an example from the 21st century with Larry Summers.

> I have not heard of any professors suffering from false accusations of sexual harassment.

What can I say to your anecdotes, except... "Great!" Or perhaps it's not great that dozens of your friends have had such bad experiences with their professors.
I know this is someone else's reasoning, so you can't answer this question, but, doesn't this just test if they want to spend the budget on this specific thing?

If I ask a company for a $100,000 grant, and they're not willing, it doesn't seem like correct logic to assume that means they don't have the budget for it. Maybe they just don't want to spend $100,000 on me.

Why does this mean they don't have a budget or power?
Disclaimer: IANAL.

I reiterate that "impeached" means to be convicted of charges levied in (an) article(s) of impeachment.

Article 2, Section 2, Clause 1[1] of the Constitution (also cited in your links) states (emphasis mine):

>[The President] shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

For there to even be a question of a presidential pardon applying to impeachments that necessitated such a clause, being impeached implies being convicted. The Justice Department considers pardons without convictions as "highly unusual"[2].

I thus reiterate: There has never been an impeached President to date, and the use of the term "impeached" to mean a President merely tried for impeachment is very misleading. Again, you don't call someone merely tried for (let alone acquitted of) murder a murderer.

Disclaimer: IANAL.

My mistake, at the time, Java was being promoted by Sun Microsystems, which only more recently became a part of Oracle.

The promotional campaign that Dijkstra mentions was perhaps orchestrated by Sun Microsystems, though perhaps not since Oracle was indirectly strategically aligned with Java, as the eventual acquisition shows.

Yes, it is more difficult to get into FP. However, asking the question why it became more difficult, when historically the opposite was true, is certainly worthwhile. Surely there was some cause.

One difference between EAC and Vanguard is that the latter needs to be loaded on boot, so you need to reboot every time you want to play if you don't want to have it running all the time (which is a common use-case since it has a history of interfering with legitimate programs).

They accessed the material through piracy. They never accepted a TOS. They will probably get away with acquiring the material however they liked because of fair use.

This comment is way too far down the page.

If the unit tests are slow enough to want to skip them, they likely are not unit tests but some kind of service-level tests or tests that are hitting external APIs or some other source of a bad smell. If the slow thing is the build, then cache the artifact keyed off the directory contents so the step is fast if code is unchanged. If the unit tests only run for a package when the code changes, there is a lack of e2e/integration testing. So, what is OP's testing strategy? Caching? It seems like following good testing practices would make this problem disappear.

Just finished reading the article finally (thanks!). The crux of it for me was:

- They had a "dictionary" of 30000 words, and accepting a ~1/4000 rate of false positives meant that if they hashed each word to a 27-bit string (integer), they could throw away the dictionary and the problem reduces to storing a set of 30000 27-bit strings.

- Somewhat surprisingly, information theory tells us that 30000 27-bit strings can be stored using not 27 but just ~13.57 bits per word. I understand the math (it's straightforward: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=log_2%282%5E27+choose+3... ) but it will probably take me a while to stop finding this counterintuitive, as 30000 is so small compared to 2^27 (which is ~134 million) that it is hard to see where the gains come from.

- To encode this 30000-sized subset of 27-bit hashes, they used hash differences, which turn out to be geometrically distributed, and a coding scheme tuned for geometrically distributed input (Golomb coding), to actually achieve ~13.6 bits per word.

I've tried to think of how one could do better, even in principle and with infinite time, along the lines of “perfect hashing” — maybe there should be a function that will take an alphabetic word, do some transformations on it, and the resulting hash will be easy to verify for being in the good set vs not. But thinking about it a bit more, the fact that we need that false-positive rate (non-dictionary words shouldn't get mapped to anything in the "good" set) requires us to use at least 27 bits for the hash. What they did seems basically theoretically optimal? Or can there exist a way to map each word to a 27-bit integer, such that the good strings are those with values less than 30000, say?

Political campaigns are often bought.

He mentions the expensive promotional campaign that was paid towards Java.

Matters of pedagogy often involve value judgements and trade-offs, with knowledge alone being unable to provide definitive answers.

However, Sun/Oracle did know that more money would flow their way if undergraduates were to learn Java. The letter suggests that one or both of them decided to act accordingly.

It’s questionable to assert that every knowledgeable faculty member thought that pivoting to Java was the best option. (Dijkstra himself is a counter-example?) From the looks of it, just a single department chair——not the full CS department——had the decision-making authority on this curriculum change.

Why in an academic context would it be inappropriate to request input from additional stakeholders? If the letter was unconventional, remember that a purpose of the tenure system is to protect unconventionality.

All of these "always divisible by n" proofs are asking you to solve them case by case in modular arithmetic.

For divisibility by two, there are only two cases. So if n is 1, then n³ is 1, and if n is 0, n³ is 0. 0+0 = 0; 1+1 = 0; and this completes the proof.

I am not actually sure that doing a prime factorization on 7n³ for unknown n is easier than knowing that 1³ = 1.

2. It makes it possible for intelligence at the cost of less than $500, significantly less than $50k for a writer and much less than $250k for a SWE.

3. Have it local and private.

The race to zero for intelligence will be accelerated and will affect everyone. If we all know that "AGI" is a scam, then at least it should be given to not one single company and should not be re-defined to mean something else.

Interesting that both went for fn(T, T) -> T, with a bound of Add<Output = T>, rather than using a bound of Add and returning T::Output, which is of very similar complexity, but a bit more general.

You can also make it more flexible still, supporting different argument types, but this is decidedly more verbose:

fn add<Lhs, Rhs>(lhs: Lhs, rhs: Rhs) -> Lhs::Output where Lhs: Add<Rhs> {
lhs + rhs
