Ella and Chad on government funding

Government Funding interview in the Philippines

Any software developer can efficiently build, test, and package any project, of any size or complexity, with tooling that's easy to adopt and extend.

Engineers can take build fundamentals for granted. Software developers focus on the creative process of authoring code because the mechanical process of build and test is solved. When customizing the build system to support new languages or unique organizational needs, users focus on the aspects of extensibility that are unique to their use case, without having to reinvent the basic plumbing.

Engineers can easily contribute to any project. A developer who wants to start working on a new project can simply clone the project and run the build. There’s no need for local configuration - it just works. With cross-platform remote ex*****on, they can work on any machine anywhere and fully test their changes against all platforms the project targets. Engineers can quickly configure the build for a new project or incrementally migrate an existing build.

Projects can scale to any size codebase, any size team. Fast, incremental testing allows teams to fully validate every change before it is committed. This remains true even as repos grow, projects span multiple repos, and multiple languages are introduced. Infrastructure does not force developers to trade test coverage for build speed.

We believe Bazel has the potential to fulfill this vision.

Bazel was built from the ground up to enable builds that are reproducible (a given set of inputs will always produce the same outputs) and portable (a build can be run on any machine without affecting the output).

These characteristics support safe incrementality (rebuilding only changed inputs doesn’t introduce the risk of corruption) and distributability (build actions are isolated and can be offloaded). By minimizing the work needed to do a correct build and parallelizing that work across multiple cores and remote systems, Bazel can make any build fast.

Bazel’s abstraction layer — instructions specific to languages, platforms, and toolchains implemented in a simple extensibility language — allows it to be easily applied to any context.

Bazel core competencies
Bazel supports multi-language, multi-platform builds and tests. You can run a single command to build and test your entire source tree, no matter which combination of languages and platforms you target.
Bazel builds are fast and correct. Every build and test run is incremental, on your developers’ machines and on CI.
Bazel provides a uniform, extensible language to define builds for any language or platform.
Bazel allows your builds to scale by connecting to remote ex*****on and caching services.
Bazel works across all major development platforms (Linux, MacOS, and Windows).
We accept that adopting Bazel requires effort, but gradual adoption is possible. Bazel interfaces with de-facto standard tools for a given language/platform.
Serving language communities
Software engineering evolves in the context of language communities — typically, self-organizing groups of people who use common tools and practices.

To be of use to members of a language community, high-quality Bazel rules must be available that integrate with the workflows and conventions of that community.

Bazel is committed to be extensible and open, and to support good rulesets for any language.

So what is a good ruleset?
The rules need to support efficient building and testing for the language, including code coverage.
The rules need to interface with a widely-used “package manager” for the language (such as Maven for Java), and support incremental migration paths from other widely-used build systems.
The rules need to be extensible and interoperable, following “Bazel sandwich” principles.
The rules need to be remote-ex*****on ready. In practice, this means configurable using the toolchains mechanism.
The rules (and Bazel) need to interface with a widely-used IDE for the language, if there is one.
The rules need to have thorough, usable documentation, with introductory material for new users, comprehensive docs for expert users.
Each of these items is essential and only together do they deliver on Bazel’s competencies for their particular ecosystem.

They are also, by and large, sufficient - once all are fulfilled, Bazel fully delivers its value to members of that language community.

The Philippines this week said it will send police to search houses for COVID-19 patients to slow rising infection and death numbers, drawing a rebuke from rights groups worried the measure amounts to “drug war” tactics in the wake of a controversial new anti-terrorism law.

The country has reported over 63,000 cases and 1,660 deaths as of Friday and saw Southeast Asia’s biggest daily rise in COVID-19 deaths earlier this week after easing some lockdown measures, prompting calls for a reimagined approach to combating the outbreak.

President Rodrigo Duterte on Wednesday said the metro Manila area would stay in a general community quarantine through July 31, after which his spokesperson said the area could return to a stricter lockdown should cases continue to rise.

The house-to-house searches were presented by Interior Minister Eduardo Año as a means to avert harder lockdowns and to encourage patients to report to government quarantine facilities despite earlier advice for mildly symptomatic patients to self-isolate.

“We don’t want positive patients to stay home in quarantine, especially if their homes don’t have the capacity,” Año said at a Tuesday news conference. “So what we will do… is to go house-to-house and we will bring the positive cases to our COVID-19 isolation facilities.”

Año also urged the public to report any nearby cases and warned that infected patients who do not cooperate will face imprisonment.

The plan drew a rebuke from local and international rights groups who saw parallels with tactics in Duterte’s deadly “drug war,” in which police have gone door-to-door searching for drug suspects. The Philippines human rights commission alleges that the drug war has taken around 27,000 lives.

“Instead of expanding testing and adopting other public health measures, the administration seems intent on deploying the state security forces and ‘drug war’ tactics that have already proven so catastrophic to Filipinos,” Human Rights Watch Asia deputy director Phil Robertson said in a dispatch.

Philippine police actions during the COVID-19 outbreak have drawn heavy scrutiny from rights groups and the general public due to numerous reports of police abuse and rights violations against those allegedly violating curfews and quarantine regulations.

Since first announcing lockdown measures in Manila in March, Duterte has been criticized for a militaristic response to the pandemic, sending police and military to patrol communities, enforce quarantines and arrest violators.

“House-to-house searches will make residents of impoverished urban communities even more vulnerable to police abuses,” Robertson said. “By urging residents to report neighbors they suspect of having COVID-19, the government is encouraging further violations.”

Philip Jamilla of the Manila-based rights alliance Karapatan said on Twitter the plan is reminiscent of “tokhang-style” anti-drug operations, using a term for drug war surveillance meaning “knock and plead.

The Philippine government announced this week that police will conduct house-to-house searches for people who might have been infected with the novel coronavirus and then forcibly relocate them to government-run isolation facilities. The authorities said they will look for people with symptoms of Covid-19, but worryingly will also rely on citizens to report others they believe are infected.

The move comes as the Philippines saw its biggest daily rise in Covid-19 cases, leading officials to conclude that home quarantines are not working. Officials claim the government will provide adequate facilities for those kept in isolation, such as single rooms with private toilets, and Wi-Fi connections. Nearly 59,000 people have contracted the virus in the country, with 1,614 deaths recorded as of July 15.

Sending police teams to people’s homes without warrants raises alarms because it resembles tactics used by the Duterte administration to target suspected drug users in its “war on drugs,” the ongoing anti-drug campaign in which police have brutally killed thousands of people. Moreover, police conduct in the government’s Covid-19 response so far does not inspire confidence that this campaign will respect people’s basic rights, or be an effective way to stop the spread of the virus. Since the government imposed lockdowns in various cities beginning in mid-March, police and local government officials have severely violated the rights of citizens who violated lockdown curfews and quarantine regulations.

House-to-house searches will make residents of impoverished urban communities even more vulnerable to police abuses. By urging residents to report neighbors they suspect of having Covid-19, the government is encouraging further violations. Officials have not provided public guidance to help residents determine if their neighbors have been infected.

“House-to-house searches by the police resulted to thousands of killings in the drug war, tokhang-style barangay-level surveillance was incorporated into counterinsurgency campaigns – now, the police will be deployed for this mere days before the Anti-Terrorism act takes effect,” he said.
Critics allege the country’s new anti-terror law, which Duterte signed last week, is designed to target dissent rather than terrorism. A group of bipartisan U.S. lawmakers on Wednesday urged the Philippines to immediately repeal the law as it “risks further undermining human rights in the Philippines,” U.S. Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky said.
The timing of the anti-terrorism law and the door-to-door searches has been perceived by many Filipinos as especially pernicious, given the potential for the Duterte administration to use a combination of broad new powers and limited public mobility to crack down on dissent.
Duterte has long toyed with the idea of placing the Philippines under martial law, especially ahead of the country’s 2022 election, which he is currently barred from contesting as Philippine presidents are limited to a single six-year term.
Duterte said Tuesday he had “dismantled” oligarchy in the country despite not declaring martial law (outside of Mindanao), which was widely interpreted as a reference to the recent vote to reject the franchise application of ABS-CBN, the country’s largest broadcaster.
Rights groups, however, have referred to the new anti-terror law as being equivalent to, if not worse than, martial law, leaving them with little confidence the house-to-house searches will decrease new infections without leading to further rights violations.
