This is cool, but the post swaps in a tiny interpreter bc it says that CPython and SpiderMonkey are both huge. It then goes on to talk about modifying the interpreter to make some specific info visible to weval, and I can imagine that those

I think a giant gap in this is that the list of rules doesn't account for non-players in the game area. This planned over a large public park which presumably other people use. Do you play around people? Do you avoid them with a minimu

Your description sounds exactly like I'd expect a regulator to describe discretionary enforcement. My point about PCI is that people can actually implement it and know that they've done so. If the goal of GDPR is to get people up

You used the word "just" there, but I don't think storing hashed PII is necessarily an out here. Clearly, the whole point of the suggestion is that we can still match the person against a record, and the hashed device id or i

Hmm, if anything the emphasis on national bodies having discretion in when this is enforced seems sketchy and concerning to me. Sketchy on the regulatory side because I don't trust them to not pick targets in a manner which is informed

Oh right, the other one that was totally baffling is people have a right to request their data, and we should give it to them in a timely manner -- but it's not sufficiently clear how we should know that the person making a request, po

When is consent of the deceased really required in modern contexts? For example, the remains of Salvador Dali were exhumed in 2017 because someone claimed to have been his biological child entitled to some of his estate. Not only did Dali n

Actually it does look like their book has at least some additional info in their intro section "To F*, or not to F*?" The highlights seem to be: - extensional equality (similar to nuprl) - undecidable type-checking - combination

As someone only dimly aware of this space, I wish upfront they would highlight what they see as their relative strengths to similar systems and techniques. For example, I'm aware that both NuPRL and Coq have some ability to extract pro

I find their methodology really questionable. They used an existing survey, which had 4 questions, which they combined to 3 binary questions for their analysis: - “Does your home have access to the internet?” / “Do you have access to t

> We know the risks from cigarettes Hmm, the tobacco industry is also famous for actively trying to deny and suppress evidence about its harms. They actively didn't want people to be in a position to make a fully informed decision.

by abeppu 2y ago
I think the comparison to tobacco companies is misleading because tobacco is not good for anyone, poses a risk of harm to everyone who uses it regularly, and causes very bad outcomes for some of those users. I.e. there's not a large po

You'll note I said I was playing with RPython, not PyPy. In my case, I was playing with writing a small interpreter, and comparing the RPython toolchain with the Truffle/Graal framework. Writing RPython code, even if one is not de

Does PyPy still release 2.7 because RPython is still based on it? I was recently trying to play with RPython for the first time, and having to remember all the python 2 vs python 3 differences felt strange, and very retro.
