> that's the second biggest FOIA request I've ever seen!

-Guybrush, from The Secret of Monkey Island
> How can we decide it's the law we want if we don't know what it means yet?

FWIW, judicial interpretation of legislation is generally seen as an exercise in figuring out what the legislature meant. Courts start by looking at the "plain meaning" of the words used, but where that doesn't yield an unambiguous answer they will often look at the overall scheme or purpose of the legislation to try and figure out which interpretation is most consistent with that.

It's far from perfect of course, but it's not like legislation just consists of a bunch of random symbols that are later imbued with meaning by a court operating in a vacuum. The meaning of most legislation is clear most of the time. I'm sure the authors of the bill thought it was sufficiently clear, for any scenario they could contemplate (or, at least, the ones they cared about). But it's hard to see every potential corner case (and if every potential corner case did have to be identified and settled before the bill could even be debated, it's likely Illinois wouldn't have a FOIA today).

> there’s not a single risk to anyone who leaves a website online in read only mode

Your posts make sense if this is true, but I really don't think it's true.

Your argument that they won't be fussed to do anything about archived websites is very much not zero risk.
It's for people with taste in scripting languages.
That’s sort of what I was thinking, if the training involved a lot of negative suppression of things that openAI thinks are bad, it makes sense to me that “do X which you inherently don’t want to do!” will result in a big deluge of everything it shouldn’t do.

I feel like if an average non-researcher found this, they would call it a “jailbreak”.
Considering the author in question, it may be equally accurate to say that AI generated content has been fed a lot of his writing as training data.
> You terminate SSL as close to the user as possible, because that round trip time is greatly going to affect the user experience. What you do between your load balancer and application servers is up to you, (read: should still be encrypted) but terminating SSL asap is about user experience.

That makes no sense. The latency from your load balancer to your application server should be a tiny fraction of the latency from the user to the load balancer (unless we're talking about some kind of edge deployment, but at that point it's not a load balancer but some kind of smart proxy), and the load balancer decrypting and re-encrypting almost certainly adds more latency compared to just making a straight connection from the user to the application server.

Complexity: things twisted together.

You can count the things, and count the twists. When a set of things has fewer twists (or even knots) than another set of things, it's simpler. When you pull on something, if it's attached to other things by twists, you are dealing with complexity. When you intentionally entwine things, you are creating complexity. You might say you are "complecting" things together, and once done they are "complected" together.

This is relevant from the smallest details of programming like state (being a more complex twist of value and time, compared to simpler immutable values that are timeless) to the largest issues of modularity (being a property of systems composed of smaller things; when you can disconnect such things without needing to untwist them from each other, you have achieved a simpler design).

This is separate from being easy or hard, though one could assert that a simpler system will tend to be easier to change, because you don't necessarily have to deal with as many things twisted together at the same time. But this isn't a given, because we programmers learn and get better at complex things such that they can feel quite easy, and we also love making tools to try and wrangle sources of complexity, either those inherent to a problem domain, or those we unnecessarily inflict on ourselves, and it can be quite easy to make changes to really complex systems once you've learned some of these tools. Complex things can also be very helpful from time to time, especially when they claim to solve a problem and you just want the problem solved yesterday without caring so much how. But regardless, whether something is simple or complex is a property that remains the same no matter who looks at it. Under APOSD's definition, something basic like immutable collections in a program would make it harder to understand because most people aren't taught about them as part of basic education, and many languages don't offer them as part of the standard library. They're unfamiliar, essentially. Even when you do get used to them, they can still be a bit difficult to work with depending on what you're trying to do. But are immutable collections more complex than mutable ones? No.

I like to burn them to dvd.

I have one of those big dvd "catalogs" that takes 4 discs per side of a
page.

Keep one at home and one at my parents' place.

I trust them more than usb-sticks.
Though that may be irrational.

But the time for burning files to dvd seems almost over.
It is hard /impossible to buy a computer with a dvd drive.

That is no problem for me since I have a collection fo externals
as well as internals. and life is good now since blank dvd
media is cheap .

But again, you need a dvd reader, and in the future, that may
become difficult.

Outcomes for America; other countries' anti-American propaganda will soon turn on themselves, much like it did the EU.

The slash and burn is not the best, but it's better than dying of starvation. Similarly here, dumping billions and trillions, and billions more, and they cannot even implement Login.gov after being told by Congress. So, unfortunately, fire them all. The feamongering wants people to believe "hydroponics or death", but no, slash and burn at this point. One of the biggest reasons to move quickly is to get ahead of the really, really bad leftist propaganda system, to exploit the news cycle.

Same goes for the billions propping up the world, from research to civilian aid. Whatever we lose, the rest of the world loses more. I would like to see the rest of the first world do something significant, like fill the void, like Europe. But let's not kid ourselves, Russian artillery is going to make their social spending very burdensome.

Even if America stops literally everything, I think we'd still end up supplying more blankets to Ukraine than the rest of Europe combined. Anyone who says Germany or China is going to be more popular needs to put down the Kool-Aid.

The killer app for markdown would be a collaborative editor that displays the raw markdown and formatted markdown side-by-side and makes both sides editable. Tech people can use `#` and `*` on one side for formatting, product people can use normal text-editor buttons like "header1", "italics", etc.

Yeah I can see that, seems like masking isn't creating a new record, but obviously that's not how it's interpreted, because you're using the human filling out the form to interpret then return the data. FOIA typically allow for redactions and that seemingly creates new records because they have to redact things and knowing what to redact is providing masked information and that's a new record.

As such, they could claim all FOIAs that require redactions shouldn't be fulfilled because a redacted record is a new record.

I don't think Magic and Raft are anywhere close to the importance of Tcl, though I've probably at some point used a chip that was designed in Magic. And, while I like Tk and find it inspiring, the number of Tk apps I can remember ever using (that I didn't write myself) is maybe three, and they weren't very important to me.

As for Sprite-LFS, I really enjoyed the Sprite LFS paper and found it inspiring, but my conclusion was that Seltzer's followup BSD-LFS paper falsified some of its more surprising claims, and ultimately the underlying predictions about the relative trends in RAM size and disk size turned out to be wrong, undercutting the key advantages of the LFS approach overall. Vaguely LFS-like approaches are important to SSDs and SMR disks, but WAFL was already about that LFS-like in 01995 (which is admittedly after Sprite-LFS), and SSD FTLs also do some not-very-LFS-like things. So ultimately I don't think Sprite-LFS turned out to be that important.

Sprite as a whole I'm less able to evaluate. I've never been an OS researcher, but I've spent a fraction of my life reading SOSP and HotOS papers and systems dissertations, and I don't remember seeing anything that came out of Sprite except Sprite-LFS. I was thinking maybe doors in Solaris did, but no, that was Sun's Spring, not Sprite. Other side of the Bay, where Ousterhout took Tcl eventually. So it's possible Sprite was a great achievement, but I haven't noticed it. But I think more likely it's one of those things where we tried the "obvious" thing (SSI across a bunch of workstations) and found out why it was bad, which influenced later efforts like PVM, MOSIX, Beowulf, distcc, MapReduce, Ceph, etc., because Sprite stepped on the mines so they didn't have to. There's a nice retrospective (by Ousterhout, natch) at https://web.archive.org/web/20150225073211/http://www.eecs.b....

So I don't think Tk, Magic, Raft, and Sprite-LFS really have the same level of significance as Tcl. Sprite maybe.

I don't think it's bad to spend a lot of time and effort on things that turn out to not be very significant, for two reasons. One is that, after a long enough time, very little indeed remains very significant. (Who, today, can recount the disappointments of the Minoan queens?) The other is that things you could do that are significant—even for a little while—are usually things that will probably fail. So if you spend a lot of time doing things that might be significant, you'll fail at most of them.

But in Ousterhout's case, one of those things did succeed brilliantly, and it was Tcl.

If you want strictness, use a linter or a pretty-printer that follows your preferred style. Adopting an opinionated parser means you can't lint or pretty-print input from those with different opinions (I do not like underscores for emphasis), and thus somewhat goes against the goals of TFA here:

> Markdown files are essentially plaintext with some extra syntax for common elements like sections, bullet points, and links. The format deliberately avoids precise control over display details like font selection. Following the rule of least power, I consider this limitation a feature.

One of my biggest ongoing frustrations has been MDX - a sort of markdown-and-JSX mixture whose spec is now in its third release and which has made very little effort to maintain compatibility with either CommonMark or itself. It is fairly strict and fairly elegant, and moving to a new version requires rewriting all previously-written documents to eliminate no-longer-supported syntax and re-training writers. Both of those things are miserable tasks; it has absolutely killed any tolerance I might have had for a stricter parser.
It’s done with at least two external inputs (air, water) and far more resource availability than a Mars mission would have. A long-term closed loop isn’t banned by treaties - McMurdo alone is like 50 acres and a hundred buildings, something the size of a plausible interplanetary mission at our current technology level is not going to dramatically exceed that footprint.

Again, I’m not saying it’s inconceivable that it could be done, only that it’s harder than the sales guy would have you believe.

There are trans people who are born XY but born with androgen insensitivity. They can present as 100% female, be born with all female parts except ovaries, but are biologically XY. What are they doing that's "deceptive"?

I believe that people saying it's deceptive to be trans are coming from a place where they can't help themselves sexualizing trans people. They feel afraid that they might sexualize someone and then be 'tricked' into having sexual feelings about a person of the same sex. This triggers them, makes them ashamed, and so they lash out.

If you're practicing The American Way and minding your own damn business and also not being a creepy person, none of this affects you.

Very interesting case! Just one question: to what extent do changes in database schemata fall under FOIA in Illinois? That is, if they should change the database schema to conceal whatever it is they're fighting tooth and nail to hide, are they compelled to retain detailed information about that change? Or can they later present you (should the legislation pass) with a cleaned-up, nothing-to-see-here updated version?

I’m a little flustered by all this talk of “read-access” and “write-access” in reference to DOGE.

Reading and writing what?

If these transactions systems are well designed, everything is written. They should be using special “write-once, read-many” media ensure everything is immutably recorded.

Even if it’s just a conventional SQL database and not some kind of transaction ledger, you can recreate the state of the DB by rerunning all SQL commands, which should be recorded.

What does “write” mean exactly here?
