We should recognize that this is a political issue and that a problem exists that needs a solution.

One party to the debate claiming that the solution (age verification) to the problem (kids accessing adult content) is imperfect, is worthless.

We know what the position of the EFF or FSF is on the matter, they prioritize online privacy over kid safety, got it. But if the message is going to be that the solution has a problem and there is no more contributions, then the implicit proposal is that there needs to be no solution and the initial problem is ignored.

If the opposition to current age verification take this naive approach of denouncing age verification and offering no solutions, they will be kept at the sidelines while the adults vote in the senate for these solutions. Newsflash, you lost the debate, if you want back in, you are going to need more than this.

> You could fix it by eg. `$state(undefined as unknown as HTMLElement)` but that's dumb

I think the generic is what you are looking for

class Wrapper {
dom = $state<HTMLElement>();
constructor(el: HTMLElement) {
this.dom = el;
}
}

the dom property will still be HTMLElement | undefined, if the 'undefined' bothers you have to add an exclamation mark and write "$state<HTMLElement>()!"

Pakistan, which some may not realize is a nuclear power, is also one of the best examples. We invaded and occupied Afghanistan for decades under the pretext of it being Bin Laden safe haven.

It turns out Bin Laden was in Pakistan directly adjacent to the premises of Pakistan's top military academy. So we do the most minimal in and out operation imaginable, and then shortly thereafter got back to shipping Pakistan billions of dollars in "aid."

The world going nuclear is only a danger when one nation begins to think they could win a nuclear conflict, or are enticed to play chicken with another nuclear power. Outside of that nukes are almost certainly the reason that the window from ~1945 to today has been, by far, one of the safest in the developed world. Without nukes the Cold War would, with complete certainty, have ended up as WW3.

These frameworks have so many versions over time because the web, browsers, and people’s expectations of the capabilities of websites are a moving target.

Lately I've been thinking about the unintended effects that AI tools (such as GPT-based assistants) might have on technological innovation. Let me explain:

Suppose an AI assistant is heavily trained on a popular technology stack, such as React. Developers naturally rely on AI for quick solutions, best practices, and problem solving. While this certainly increases productivity, doesn't it implicitly discourage exploration of potentially superior alternative technologies?

My concern is that a heavy reliance on AI could reinforce existing standards and discourage developers from experimenting or inventing radically new approaches. If everyone is using AI-based solutions built on dominant frameworks, where does the motivation to explore novel platforms or languages come from?
Macron likes grand speeches but rarely delivers anything.

France is the only European country with an independent, working nuclear deterrent. That's a very valuable asset.

So I see thee points for a sensible French policy (big question mark):

1. They can use it to their advantage and offer to protect EU countries. What would they gain and what can they ask for in exchange?

2. They should not 'share' control of their nukes

3. They would not want that another European country develop its own nukes.
If science cost zero dollars and zero cents, sure. When it's public dollars you can see why every researcher needs strong preliminary evidence to justify dropping hundreds of NIH dollars on research. Waste, fraud, and abuse, no?

Anyway, if you want a sacred cow to kill, a good one would be "we don't have enough evidence to draw conclusions about the risks and benefits of vaccines".

This is specifically taking about indexed structures though, so inserting data in a way that means it can be efficiently searched afterwards. Comparing heaps to b-trees, hash tables, and other ones structures in this context isn't really a Granny Smith Vs Golden Delicious style comparison.

Many (though not all) databases allow the base data to be a heap for those situations where a pure heap or a heap with small supporting indexes is more efficient (very wide data for instance, particularly in intermediate structures for ETL processes (a longer process acronym might better describe this, say, ELTEL)).

I think you mean a relational database.
You are wrong, the article posted said the heists happened because of both a breach and cracking master passwords. LastPass E2EE relied on keys from the master password using a password hash that had a low iteration count. Therefore low entropy passphrases could easily be cracked. Furthermore not all data was encrypted. This is all a weakness of their E2EE. 1Password uses both PAKE for remote authentication and a high entropy key (128-bit) and therefore doesn't solely rely on a master password. There is an actual difference.

Of those links you posted, two of them could've equally affected a password manager that was local. All password managers can be subverted by external threats whether using cloud storage or not.

My point is, properly implemented E2EE (hopefully vetted by cryptographers) is marginally different to a password manager using local storage. Sure having it cloud hosted can affect more than one user, but attacking the ciphertext data would be infeasible.
Two exceptions could be:
- url hash links and the css :target pseudo class.
- Links that target iframes

Not suggesting to use these patterns liberally, but they do work for light interactivity.
I live 20 minutes from the Canadian border. We get the best reception from Vancouver radio stations, so we listen to lots of Canadian radio.

It's not just businesses. Literally half their radio content is about buy Canada, avoid the US, Trump is bad for Canada, etc. This content is produced by every group: political ads, government PSAs, advertisements, the talkshow hosts, people calling in...

My county is very dependent on Canadians driving down to buy American goods and we are getting hit hard. I'm not excited for the local economic effects of this trade war (or anything else about it).
Is there a physical law which will limit AI progress? I don't have a timeline in mind but I think that is the future.
> If I did that with Node, you would say what about Ruby.

No, because the comparison here is runtimes of interpreted languages

I guess it depends on the kind of work you’re doing. I use it for UI development and backend API stuff and it’s stupid how much work it does for me. I literally write a composer prompt, alt tab for 2 minutes, come back and it’s implemented a brand new endpoint with new models, GraphQL resolvers, working tests etc. It’s awesome.
Cynically, it's far more likely they will upload the gpg blob to said agent, provide it with the password via the conversation box, and ask it to directly provide the specific information that they're after.

The AI model will be of certified provenance and run on attested hardware [0] so this won't be as much of a security issue as you might expect. Naturally the various three letter agencies will have full hardware access including query history.

Periodically, hardware zero days will drop and all hell will break loose.

Alright that's enough speculative dystopian fiction for me for today.

This is very fascinating and a photogenic demonstration of what is possible via gene editing. My hope is that this research leads to cures of genetic diseases that have previously been incurable.

I doubt the efficacy of creating mammoth like creatures, or elephants that have mammoth traits. We’re talking about recreating an ice age creature that, ostensibly we hunted into extinction. But with climate change and a warming planet, even if we were successful in recreating mammoths, where would such a creature live? James Hansen, who testified to congress in 1988 and informed the public about climate change, recently said that the Paris goal of keeping warming under 2 degrees Centigrade is pretty much dead. At 2 degrees we’ll be seeing ice free arctics at-least once per decade. With that future, there’s simply not going to be any habitat for these creatures to live in.

I got a new pair of glasses last week after seven years with the previous pair. The first thirty minutes felt strange until my brain adjusted and made it “normal.” When I haven’t been wearing them and put them on (including my old prescription), I look out a window at distant objects before looking at the computer screen. This improves my focus close to me.
Those smaller template languages make it really hard to switch to another system in the future. The further you stray from HTML the more technical overhead you’re creating for yourself and others in the future, just to save a small amount of time on template code which IDEs heavily automates now (closing tags, refactoring, etc).

It also makes debugging harder because there’s a heavier translation of stuff you see in dev tools vs your codebase. It also makes gripping and automated project code replacement harder.

You also can’t easily copy paste HTML code examples from other places. Other developers have to learn and might resist it so you have a mix of template systems.

I could keep going…
What do the numbers '3-5' in that name refer to if it's version 3.6?
What I’ve learned:

- Use apply (in chat) or composer only if you’re more interested in finding a quick solution than the risk to local code. Often Cursor removes important comments by default.

- Use chat. Create new chats when it doesn’t have the latest version of your code or history/shadow workspace is confusing it. Add relevant files or @Codebase or both.

- Learn to undo. Use git and checkout the files/directories again if needed. I don’t use composer, so files never get deleted.

- Autocomplete is often fairly terrible and regularly gets in the way of trying to see what you’re typing or trying to view. Hit the escape key regularly.

- Use Claude 3.7 for regular coding and 3.7 Thinking for larger things to solve.

No, it is score manipulation.

Astroturfing is a kind of manipulation where you mislead people about attribution, so that they associate what you say/do with a group or person of your choice.

For example, say that you really have an axe to grind with the programming language Rust, and are aware that people have a perception or would find it believable that its community is obnoxious, through being pedantic or overzealous.

What you could then do is join in on conversations and start talking as if you were a member of the Rust community, and act pedantic, overzealous, or otherwise obnoxious. Due to the pretense that you're a Rust user yourself, people would attribute this behavior to the Rust community, meaning you succeeded in boosting this negative perception.

Just an example of course.
It didn't take deep technical skill and knowledge to build a Geocities website in the 1990s though, and most people who did were minimally computer literate. I feel like you're conflating issues here.

> Hi, author here, the title also does say “for systems programming languages” :)

> For continuations to work in a systems programming language, you can probably only allow one-shot delimited continuations. It’s unclear to me as to how one-shot continuations can be integrated into a systems language where you want to ensure careful control over lifetimes. Perhaps you (or someone else here) knows of some research integrating ownership/borrowing with continuations/algebraic effects that I’m unfamiliar with?

> The closest exception to this that I know of is Haskell, which has support for both linear types and a primitive for continuations. However, I haven’t seen anyone integrate the two, and I’ve definitely seen some soundness-related issues in various effect systems libraries in Haskell (which doesn’t inspire confidence), but it’s also possible I missed some developments there as I haven’t written much Haskell in a while.

Lol, when GDPR came out one of our euro devs was threatening to walk out if we didn't put a banner up because he thought he'd be personally fined.

Now it's obvious of course.
He has given Russia everything they could ever want in return for nothing, and attacks our allies at every opportunity, if he isn't Russian controlled, he might as well be, for makes no difference.

250% Tariffs on Canada now, does that sound reasonable? Can you think of a single sane reason to even have tarrifs on our close ally Canada? The reason is obvious, to drive a wedge between Canada and the US, and to make both countries poorer for it.
I tried that, the problem was some functions wanted to return an Option, then you end up with Option<Option<T>>, which is technically fine, but I find a bit mind bending.

I have used deft on Emacs for years. It saves notes locally as text files (I use Markdown). I keep my notebook directory as a git repository, so that I can use my notes on any of my machines. Search and filtering is whole-text--no need to set tags. Not a problem until you have years of notes on a modest machine ;) That's as simple as it gets, and yet it has served me very well over the years. QOwnNotes is a non-Emacs solution that works in a very similar way, except that it does expect Markdown files and gives you HTML previews; in fact it can use my Deft directories unchanged.

And it has changed a lot in that time. The code we wrote in 0.x is very different from the paradigm of 3.x, and while I agree it's largely a change for the better, it's still a chore to keep up with it if that isn't the only thing you do.
This will be great!

I was just working on an app where this exact pattern would have been useful. The app mixes serverside html with some sprinkles of React for a checkout flow. Command and commandfor would have made the linking of the two much nicer. Apps following the islands pattern will also benefit from this feature.

Sidenote: I think the web's biggest problem in the future will be how hard it is to deprecate functionality.

Maybe we need Html6 to be about removing/simplifying features from the browsers?
That works until it doesn’t. Nukes still allow for proxy wars and that’s what we’ve been having, it’s not like the conflicts will go away when you can’t use proxies because they now have nukes of their own.

Trading a lower frequency of war for a more devastating consequence has worked thus far, but when people start to act like such consequences are an impossibility they’ll push risk right up to the edge - and someday someone will eventually go over it. Ironically triggering the thing that was supposed to be impossible.
A bit of a tangential question. Does anyone have any experience with cedars?
Compared to the og recompiler <https://github.com/rexdex/recompiler>, this is super basic and only matches patterns specific to a single compiler rather than devising a CFG as one would expect with such a tool. I wasn't able to analyze, let alone "recompile" even the basic "dolphin" demo.
I think it is actually a bit worse than that - there are currently troops hostile to Russia in Kursk. So say what you like, it has been demonstrated that it is possible to put hostile troops in a major nuclear power's territory without provoking a nuclear response.

Unless we assume that the Russians are substantially more pacifistic than the rest of the world, that suggests that the concept of a nuclear umbrella doesn't exist. If Kursk appears not to be covered by the Russian nuclear umbrella in practice, what realistically will cause any country to fire off nuclear missiles? It is reasonable to say more than an invasion of a close ally. The entire MAD principle seems to have partially broken down over the last few years. Executing a land invasion of Russia, however symbolic, crossed a major line.

A lot of rhetoric now looks decidedly like bluff and bluster.

> There are many countries, e.g. in Europe, where people with many children have disproportionate advantages, because the state takes money from the people with few or no children and gives the money to the people with many children.

No, the state "takes money" from the people with few or no children to ensure that there will be a functioning society even when those people can't contribute to it themselves any more.

> Moreover, there are adequate protections for parents during pregnancy and during the following time after birth.

While that is true, the pure biology is not something you can fully protect from (yet). There are still women for whom a childbirth turns fatal.

> Nevertheless, these measures had very little effect on the birth rates,

Because the measures aren't enough. For example, even despite all the measures, I end up paying € 1200 a month for about 40 hours of childcare, for two kids. Per month. That's a mortgage level of expense. And that's because they go to school now. Before that it was over € 2000, net.

> It may be argued that for a majority of the populations these financial measures actually diminish the birth rates, because they take money mostly from the young people not having children yet, which reduces their revenues, which makes them even more reluctant to attempt to have children, due to the fear that they will not have adequate revenues to support them.

This isn't true. Young people earn less than older people, and thus pay less taxes. What makes young people reluctant to have children are unnaturally high housing costs, not the subsidies towards parents.
