European countries like the UK have consumer protection laws and they get enforced all the time. There’s a few ways:

- Act on customer complaints (or consumer protection organisation complaints)

- Proactively investigate and check

- Require businesses to submit proof that they follow the regulations e.g. test results

I’m sure there’s other ways and you can do one or more of these things to ensure compliance. It’s really context dependent on which methods one would use.
But the scientific community identified this failure. They published the evidence against it. And shed light here.

And heck, they did a lot of unrelated great science at the same time.

Science is a process that will have failures, mistakes, errors, and these are subject to natural selection. We can work to make that process sharper, more rigorous, but that's obviously not what the administration is doing. They're attacking science with the full intent of replacing it with a system where lies and fraud reign supreme. In the world of RFK and Donald Trump, lies are just what people do every day for breakfast.

RFK Jr. gets a dozen things wrong on science and tells a dozen lies and funds and pals around with major fraudsters and charlatans every week.

After WWII, a lot of talent came from Europe to the US, and the US benefited greatly. With the current trend, I could see a lot of unemployed government scientists, and I wouldn't see them going to work for some of these large US companies in the news. So, I wonder if the US will experience a reverse brain drain, with talent going to other countries.

Right, and everytime that happens because of miscalculations by our government they lose the very real and important public license to continue. Ultimately modern wars led by democracies are won by public desire to continue them.

Git was always confusing to use. There's a reason it has gained a "switch" command, and that's because the "checkout" command was confusing, while being there from the beginning.

Probably you've been using it for ten years or more at this point and have internalized it, but when it came out git felt way more confusing than other VCSs.

The US pays much more for drugs than any other country. I guess one possibility is that no one has any leverage and big pharma is able to charge Americans more because they're richer. But the more popular theory is that countries can negotiate better prices than individuals can (yes, technically insurance companies can negotiate prices, but they seem unmotivated to drive any costs down). It seems the previous administration thought the government can negotiate lower prices: https://www.cms.gov/inflation-reduction-act-and-medicare/med....

That theory assumes you can train >10,000 new air traffic controllers all at once in 1982 but then can't train their replacements over a period of ten years as they retire.

For that to be the case there would have to be some more proximate problem compromising the ability to replace air traffic controllers at the rate it was possible to in the 1980s. Like this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42939941

If you allow shadowing, then you rule out the possibility of the value being used later. This prevents accidental use (later on, in a location you didn't intend to use it) and helps readability by reducing the number of variables you must keep track of at once.

If you ban shadowing, then you rule out the possibility of the same name referring to different things in the same scope. This prevents accidental use (of the wrong value, because you were confused about which one the name referred to) and helps readability by making it easier to immediately tell what names refer to.

You left out the part about dormitories full of modern-day slaves, complete with nets so they don't leap to their deaths. Generally this is frowned upon in the West.

I post this elsewhere, i'll just put it here again:

Due to underdeveloped economies, developing countries cannot avoid economic dependence on developed countries, especially in areas such as high technology, equipment, and precision instruments. However, this dependence varies depending on the development stage of each country. For example, African nations primarily require food to sustain basic living conditions.

Regardless of their specific needs, this situation has resulted in a unique exchange mechanism: developing countries must offer their best products in exchange for goods from developed countries. As a result, people in developing countries are unable to enjoy the finest products produced in their own countries, and sometimes not even second-tier products, as these are reserved for foreign consumers.

The U.S. market features products from various countries and regions, including China, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Jamaica, and Mexico. The world's finest products flow into the U.S. market in exchange for U.S. dollars. As everyone competes to obtain dollars, competition intensifies, leading to high product quality and low prices. This has created unprecedented prosperity in the U.S. market. This outcome is a result of market mechanisms and the benefits that the U.S. has gained from the global status of the dollar, established by the Bretton Woods Conference after World War II.

However, the massive influx of foreign products into the U.S. has also impacted its domestic industries, causing factory closures and rising unemployment. This issue cannot be ignored, which is why the forces of free trade and protectionism in the U.S. have been in constant conflict.

— Wang Huning, America Against America

as long as the US still export USD to exchange products, this situation will not change

believe me, we don't want this, we have no choice, just like all other 3rd countries, cheap products, cheap minerals, cheap men and women, all running to the US to be exchanged for dollars

This is likely the most common complaint about DEI, it provides grounds for race based discrimination and lowers the bar. I am sure this was not the only government agency that did something like this and it will really hurt the Democrats chances of success for the future. Their core messaging has really boiled down to "black and brown people, women and LGBTQ are our constituency" and predictably this has turned a lot of people off the party. Especially since they haven't really delivered much even for these groups.

From what I've seen, clang has all of these and more for C++. If your metric is "tooling to help you catch UB", C++ is significantly superior to Zig.

This going to sound out of left field, but I would venture to guess you have very high spatial reasoning skills. I operate much this same way and only recently connected these dots that that skill might be what my brain leans on so heavily while programming and debugging.

Pair programming is endlessly frustrating beyond just rubber duckying because I’m having to exit my mental model, communicate it to someone else, and then translate and relate their inputs back into my mental model which is not exactly rooted in language in my head.
If it wasn't genocide, then the world would have an easier time supporting them. Israel has used their "defense" forces since the beginning to attack, disable and displace ethnic Arabs living in their claimed territory. They did it in the 40s and 50s, they did it through the 60s and then again in the 80s, and in the 90s they did it once again with the Golan Heights law. It's a genocide as we know it, unless you're of the Chomsky brand of denial a-la Bosnia.

Ordinarily, nations with a preeminent claim to "living there" have a stronger defense when they say they were protecting themselves. Israel has a particular tenacity for moving their borders arbitrarily, ignoring international outcry and playing victim when the natives fight back.
I'm a Trump voter (2016, 2020, and 2024) so I obviously find all this a good thing, just for transparency.

That said, that is tangential and irrelevant to explaining how and why the pendulum swung back as hard as it did.

Trump won his first term in 2016 because Americans were fed up with the Bush+Obama status quo of endless wars and waste. Drain the swamp, fuck the establishment! As the sentiment of the day went; remember Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party? Biden winning 2020 was a sharp rebuke by the powers that be; how dare the people demand change and elect an outsider, how dare the people demand peace and effective government. Biden and Harris's 2024 campaigns likewise were based strictly and ultimately on continuing the status quo; Harris "had no policy" in large part because the "policy" was the status quo.

Trump winning again in 2024 with a historic campaign is a sharp rebuke to that, he is the people's retribution for being denied and refused for so long time and time again. For voters like me and us, NASA and the like having their funding slashed and denied is merely collateral damage for a greater and long-awaited cause.

Of course there is an alternative. Through actual leadership.

It's not hard to effect change over time with a few memos (e.g. no more "pregnant people") and reviews. It may not be quick enough for certain items already in motion, but that really doesn't matter if the pipeline quickly empties out as the memos take effect.

How do you reconcile these deeply basic facts with your point of view?

1. The US economy was the best in the world in 2024.

2. The NIH, USAID, and NSF budgets make up just a percentage point or two of US spending.

3. These programs consistently generate ROI >>1.

In light of these painfully obvious facts, isn't it clear that the priorities of this administration have nothing to do with government finances? And that even trying to frame the discussion that way is blatantly irresponsible?

A byte isn't the minimum granularity for a pointer. The minimum is based on whatever target you're compiling for. If it's a 32-bit target platform, then the minimum granularity is 4 bytes. Why should pointer size determine value size though? It's super fast to shift bits around, too, when needed.
Sounds like you need a pre-commit hook to check.

There may be a tipping point, but as we can see by the comments here and elsewhere, and the intent behind writing and reading things like the shared article, being able to see it before it happens is the hard bit, maybe the impossible bit.

Certainly, I've heard the same apocalyptic messages about every big vote in the past 25 years, whether elections or referendums. Usually, not much changes, things happen in increments. Right now there's an incremental change going on in the opposite direction to the one that was happening, but the noise seems (to me) to outdo the reality.
