Great read. Frustrating that the court ruled that a schema was a file layout, since I don't think it is, but at the same time if it didn't fall under that exception, there is a strong arguments that would be considered "documentation pertaining to all logical ... design of computerized systems". A schema is literally, the logical design of the database, and the database is a part of the computerized system. Once it was ruled that those examples are "per se" exempt it was a long shot to argue that schema wasn't covered by any of the examples.
In much of the world, working slowly as "number 17" was is viewed as a personal moral failing. Just as you might view a rude manager being chewed out as just, the founders here and their circle view the humiliation of this factory worker as correct and good.

I can understand your criticism as it's easy to arrive at that conclusion (Also a common occurrence when levelsio launches a new product, as his Twitter following is large) but it's also not fair to discount it as "just because he runs a popular podcast".

The author is a "household" name in the macOS / Apple scene for a long time even before the podcast. If someone is spending all their life blogging about all things Apple on outlets like ArsTechnica and is consistently putting out new content on podcasts for decades they will naturally have a better distribution.

How many years did you spend on building up your marketing and distribution reach?
Yes but what if we come up with a directive that every FOIA request must be logged into a DB. Therefore every request is automatically invalid as it requires we create a record!

As I understand, the terminology has evolved since the time that Dexter was still being released.

The DSM-V does not list either sociopathy or psychopathy, so any definitions ultimately have no authority and are merely colloquial.

That being said, I remember an effort to discourage the use of "psychopath" and to move them under the umbrella of "sociopath" since it was more of a condition affecting social behaviors than psychology per se.
> they were giving the "all clear" TO the asteroid, like, "all good, we won't stop you if you wanna destroy us all."

That would be pretty based but understandable after all the cutbacks being thrown at them.
I had that thought too, but my naive rebuttal would be that the column data already exists by default in any standard RDBMS as information_schema.columns. No new record creation required.

Actually the Internet at large is fine with any protocol on top of IP. It's your home router's NAT function that can only handle UDP and TCP. Set it to bridge mode and use your computer as the router (if you need one) and you can send anything from that computer.

DigiCert posted a message fifteen days ago saying that "We have not used a legal team as a shield against accountability." (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1910322#c74). This is clearly contradicted by their legal threat against Sectigo. Hence, Sectigo decided to post the "Threat of legal action" bug to make the community aware of what DigiCert actually did.

Maybe if DigiCert had not decided to make that comment, Sectigo would have been willing to stay quiet...
The Job Is Service but the Goal Is Monetization
I've read a lot on this subject, and unfortunately I think that all sources I've read are introducing a particular bias, which is usually either "capitalism makes people work more!" or "y'all are crazy, people worked way more before the Industrial Revolution". For example, here is a counter reference to your reference: https://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/users/rauch/worktime/hours_....

My own personal take is that, first off, I'm not at all trying to make peasant life as some sort of panacea - far from it. If anything, life before the Industrial Revolution was certainly much more precarious: obviously tons of childhood deaths (not to mention deaths from things like smallpox and the plague), and all it took was a bad harvest to cause major famine. War was much more commonplace. But the lack of a lot of tools that the Industrial Revolution provided meant that, in many ways, there was simply less possible time to do productive work. When the lights went out, it's hard to do a lot by candlelight/torches. The work really did ebb and flow with the seasons. Yes, there was ton to do during the offseason, but I think the analogy with the modern world is that is like the time after a tough deadline and big release - lots of "OK, let clean up some of this code now that we have time".

Plus, a lot of the tasks that your reference mentioned would have been clearly divided by the sexes. There is a paragraph from your link that states:

> We might also point to the amount of household labour that had to be performed. Yarn had to be spun, cloth to be weaved. Cooking was over open fires: and that firewood had to be collected. Bread baked and so on and on. There was a recent report (rather exagerrated but still) which claimed that in the 1930s it took 65 hours of human labour a week to run a household. Today it takes 3. Things were worse back in medieval days.

And nearly all of that work would have been done by women while men worked the fields. There was certainly much more total work to be done to run a household, but the division of labor was more clear cut.

So again, I think the reality is probably somewhere in the middle. Life was certainly "harder" back then, but from everything I've read there was undeniably more "downtime", even if there wasn't a ton to do during that downtime. The "having to work 12 hours a day just to keep food on the table" that I was responding to clearly seems to be false from just about every source I've read.

"Irreparable harm"...IF AND ONLY IF the case is decided in favor of the plaintiffs, and there is determined to be harm from the behavior. Neither of which has actually occurred yet.

All the judge has done is to decree that:

a) her opinion is that the plaintiffs are "likely to" prevail, and

b) you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube, so it makes sense to pause the behavior in question while trial is pending.

You're getting worked up over theoretical outcomes. TROs happen all the time, even in cases where the eventual outcome is in favor of the defendants.

> The 4% rule suggests selling 4% of your principal per year.

No, it doesn't. You misunderstand the 4% rule. The 4% rule states you sell 4% of your principal in the first year, then inflation-adjust the 4% value every year. If the stock market rockets and your portfolio jumps 30%, you still only sell/spend 4%+inflation. If your portfolio drops 20%, you still sell/spend 4% of first year + inflation.

> There have been many times in history where the broad index has been flat for years. 2000 to 2010 is a famous more recent period. Would you be comfortable selling 4% a year into year 9, having watched your wealth decline materially over the last decade?

This is exactly why the 4% rule has the allocation be 60% equities, 40% bonds, rebalancing every year. Bonds have their place for reducing volatility.

> I guarantee you the retiree in bonds getting 5% and maintaining 100% of their principal is experiencing much less anxiety. And bonds give you the optionality to swap to equities in a down market like 2000 or 2008

If you're 100% bonds, what criteria would you ever use to get back into equities?
I believe there's a bright future for software that enhances and amplifies our humanity in different ways. What form would that take? If I knew, I'd be working on it, but I sense a lot of opportunity in un-disenchanting technology for various demographics.

As for this tech: it should die in a fire. If the creators read this, they should understand that they are potentially inventing the shackles that they themselves will be bound in (albeit later).
No, and admittedly I misunderstood the purpose, but I don’t understand the need any better now. I’m not a frontend (nor backend) dev FWIW, I’m a DBRE.

If this is meant for client-side use, that implies a single user, so there aren’t any concerns about lock contention. It says it’s optimized for read-heavy workloads, which means the rows have to be shipped to the client, which would seem to negate the point of “lighter weight.”

If the purpose is to enable seamless offline/online switching, that’s legitimate, but that should be called out more loudly as the key advantage.

The reason the US is not competitive is exactly because it doesn't spend the money needed for that. China did it. To be more concrete, if the government spends money to build housing, workers don't need to pay so much to have a home. If the gov spends money on public transportation, workers don't need to buy expensive cars just to get to the job. If it spends money on free health care, then workers don't need to pay for expensive insurance. If the US spent money on (near) free higher education, workers wouldn't need to pay high costs on student loans. These are all items that make the US uncompetitive with other nations.
I think it's part ignorance, part exceptionalism. Backdoors sound simple, and if you're thinking about physical backdoors people are generally pretty good at protecting them. That this is largely because they have a lot of characteristics not shared by digital backdoors is easily lost on most people. These folks also tend to believe that THEY will be perfect stewards of backdoors, and anybody who loses control of them is just less competent.

Issue is that for domestication to be possible, there has to be a preexisting social structure like herding, colonies, or packs. If it's too weak or non existent, there's no chance that domestication is possible. Having docile examples are always going to be a thing, as snakes aren't exotic pets nor social by any stretch, but that's not what domestication is.

There's an additional risk with omnivorous/carnivorous animals could see people as prey, and this risk pretty much goes up with the size of the animal.

Here is a sound static analyzer that can identify all memory safety bugs in C/C++ code, among other kinds of bugs:

https://www.absint.com/astree/index.htm

You can use it to produce code that is semi-formally verified to be safe, with no need for extensions. It is used in the aviation and nuclear industries. Given that it is used only by industries where reliability is so important that money is no object, I never bothered to ask them how much it costs. Few people outside of those industries knows that it exists. It is a shame that the open source alternatives only support subsets of what it supports. The computing industry is largely focused on unsound approaches that are easier to do, but do not catch all issues.

If you want extensions, here is a version of C that relies on hardware features to detect pointer dereferences to the wrong places through capabilities:

There is a big problem in that the purple is much less visible when it appears on top of your own piece vs. a free square. I would suggest instead to color code it red when one of your own pieces is being attacked.
There is no need to show the squares your pieces are attacking IMO (yellow heatmap)

Why not take this further to count up the simple point value of attacking/defending pieces, so e.g. a pawn that is attacked by a pawn but defended by a pawn won't show red, whereas an attacked but undefended knight would show '-3 redness'.
Also if this was just briefly 'flashed' after the opponents move, or after you reopen a browser tab, it might serve as a nice reminder of the positional situation without interfering with regular/plain board visualisation, and without making the player reliant on it.

Oh yes, it's pretty clear to me that something is wrong on Apple's side specifically with my account. Obviously people are having close to zero friction with Apple's stuff.

I can't complain though because I have this account for like couple decades and loosing that account would be painful. Apple did ban my account twice on the grounds that it's a US account while I'm not physically located there. I was able to revert the ban by explaining that I've got a US legal entity (account, banking card, etc) and thus I beg to continue using it. Not taking chances for the third time, so I silently endure.

Which results in the idea of 'good practice', 'best practice' and 'bad practice', and nobody wants to be seen as the person doing things that are considered bad practice, because that would imply that you're a bad developer.

And I almost always hesitate to use the term 'engineer' because as far as I know engineering is considered to be a practice/process that uses measurements and results to drive decision-making, unlike various areas in software. Can you imagine if the same kind of thinking was applied in civil engineering? "This new material has a lot of stars on GitHub and everyone is saying the old materials are bad practice."*

With many drugs that are used both therapeutically and recreationally, it is the case that the average recreational dosage is much larger. Ketamine is an exception here, as therapeutic doses are actually quite high. The common mistake here is to equate intravenous dosage with intranasal dosage, when the bioavailability differs significantly between these routes of administration. And that's not even considering that most reported recreational dosages are wrong due to cutting agents.

There certainly is recreational abuse with very large dosages, but I don't think it's fair to claim that the majority of users fall into this category.
Thanks for the thoughtful comment - you've captured exactly what I've been exploring!

Yes, there absolutely is a "Constraint Driven Design" pattern, though I've found it works less as a rigid methodology and more as a conversational approach to problem-solving. The basic flow looks something like:
* Start by explicitly articulating what you know must be true (constraints)
* Let these constraints interact to reveal implications you hadn't considered
* Use these revelations to discover new constraints
* Repeat until the solution space comes into focus

In the Blueprints section, I walk through how this works with Firestore queries - transforming documentation into explicit constraints that interact to reveal exactly what's possible and impossible.

As for domains, I've found this approach particularly powerful for:
* API design (constraints become your public interface)
* Database modeling (constraints reveal natural structures)
* UI/UX (constraints map to user mental models)
* System integration (constraints expose compatibility boundaries)

For LLMs specifically, I've discovered something fascinating: they're excellent at generating potential constraints, but terrible at understanding how constraints interact. In "Inner Logic," I explore how we might build systems that combine the pattern-matching strengths of neural networks with the logical reasoning of constraint solvers.
I won't shame anyone for it, but it does factor into my view of their values.
