I assume that police officers don't go into an encounter intending to shoot someone so it's important to get at the root cause. Whether real or perceived, the police seem to be much more fearful of black males than other racial groups. If perceived, then I might expect black officers to have a lower incident rate as they may be less likely to feel threatened in a situation. If there is a real statistical threat (also very difficult to tease out and to avoid confounding variables) then this could be more difficult to address and ultimately this would come back to a cycle of institutionalized poverty and incarceration that breaks up families and sends people who have been hardened by jail back into the black community thereby introducing a culture of violence. Either way you cut it a history of racism is to blame.

Officers clearly are fearing for their lives and view potential encounters with black males through a lense of negative intent, which is causing them to react more aggressively. Greater accountability and training will be critical but only if the culture of the police force changes. This could be very difficult as a lot of police officers may take these jobs exactly because they're attracted to the danger and violence (In Canada many of the bouncers I knew were on steroids only had high school educations and many wanted to be cops...).

You'd think, but I'd wager the offence that they do write up is driving with a broken tail light, which is apparently a capital offence.

It'd be nice to imagine that they'd look into the illegal search they carried out, but rather, they'll likely fixate on how he was actually definitely guilty of a crime and this was absolutely justified.

Indeed, but that message has likewise been amplified through social media to the point where brexit became possible. Without SM, I don't think it would have happened.
The JIT has access to the actual run time class hierarchy and can devirtualize method calls. In C++, if a method is virtual, the system can never decide "oh, this method has only one implementation, so let's always call that" because it must statically assume multiple implementations to be present.
Innovation is not the point; there's nothing wrong in building early stage prototypes, even incomplete or mostly non working ones. But you should not sell them as production ready, nor employ them in providing a service sold as production ready.

Python 2.x support ends in 4 years. It seems irresponsible to not be planning for a move now. Large firms do take longer but that's why now is a good time to begin.

The cost is justified if you want to use a supported language.
It should probably be noted that nearly all founder bravado is misplaced, just from a mathematical standpoint, as nearly all startup founders are helming failing businesses.

Whether that is a feature or a bug I suppose is a different question.

Do you have a sample site that was built using this plugin? And how does it handle css/styles? Does it create .css files or does it inject CSS directly in the DOM?

Looks really nice! Have you seen http://elementor.com/ and how does it compare to Tailor?
I believe the cognitive overload comes from the unlimited line-length[1].

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_length
At first when you are trying to learn a new sensorimotor skill, you have to use directed thought and consciously try and perform the task, typically by breaking it down into separate movements.

But at a certain point in this process the skill becomes implicit and you start to 'just do it.' You can continue to improve the skill at this point, but it requires less conscious control.

Interestingly, if you try and over-control your movements after having reached the second stage, your performance will usually get worse.

[1] Psychologists call the first kind of learning explicit and the second kind implicit learning.
Probably referring to the Master-Slave terminology

Thanks for the explanation, I was wondering.
> The price is worth paying

I looked up prices as I was initially in doubt if this was a good cost-benefit. This article claims that New York Cty trees have a lifetime cost of ~3,500 USD (in gardening). I was under the impression of a much higher annual cost, so I was way off in my initial reasoning.

This report puts annual gardening costs of Portland trees at around 40usd [1]

These numbers do not include added road, curb and sidewalk maintenance incurred by the tree, as far as I can tell.

Usually I can paste code just fine, I think? As long as the indentation is correct and I have double blank lines between functions, etc.

> Say you want to read the docstring for an object, just prefix or append a '?' to the object, e.g. 'subprocess?'

Isn't that the same as typing `help(subprocess)` in the standard terminal?

That's pretty cool :-)
The desire to reboot our civilization is clear and undeniable. Humanity becomes more aggressive. We’re coming undone.
But are we ready to the end? Every person takes care of its life. And it won’t disappear for free-will.
Even if our civilization will be rebooted, we have no guarantee that new world will be better. The history tends to repeat. Maybe we deserve the second chance?

I might be too old fashioned, but the only case where some sort of memory management is pleasant and comfortable - constructing/modifying strings, though even here many languages separate mutable and immutable strings into different beasts.

In all other cases just allocate virtual page from OS (way too old school I understand, people usually don't use this one and believe that C Runtime Library with malloc is the only "approved" way to allocate memory), you get from 4kb to many megabytes of continuous memory - do whatever you want there, and deallocate whole virtual page later on, no leaks, no problems. Sure I do understand that manually managing millions of objects on heap is hard, but managing 1 to 10 virtual pages? it's simple and easy, just forged about generic allocators and use specialized ones (like block allocator for example).

Also it's good to know if you even need to deallocate at all ... for example ninja build system (https://ninja-build.org) simply doesn't deallocate memory after build is done, just because it's too slow to do it (though they do use heap allocations), just kill the app and OS will clean up after you.

PS. On other hand what I'm saying is just a personal rant. Reality is that the industry is mostly moving to tools that don't allow writing unsafe code (for example languages without pointer arithmetic), and this might be very limiting in language expressiveness. There is an another approach - statically proving that unsafe code is safe. This is what "Checked C" is all about, and this is how Windows drivers are working without crashing the kernel (at least BSODs are pretty rare on Windows nowadays). But I do agree that tools for statically proving unsafe code are so non casual that only greybeards are interested in them nowadays :(

It could work quite well as the new tab screen in a browser. Slowly move the camera through the woodland so that the view changes. That would keep the view incidental whilst keeping some novelty.

If by "standards-compliant" you mean "sometimes standards-compliant, and sometimes riddled with major, painful bugs" (including bugs that usually have already been patched upstream in Webkit long before the patches eventually trickle their way down into Safari).

Pulling from a comment I posted over on Reddit recently:

--

Looking back through my painful history of Safari headaches I've personally encountered in building a single-page app, at least it appears that there's some progress:

* It looks like the pervasive, opaque, and seemingly-random "attempted to assign to readonly property" crap that affected only Safari and broke Angular, Ember, React, and others has been fixed, at least in upstream Webkit (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138038#c21). I guess we can take out our Safari-only monkey-patch fix now, so that's nice. Would be nice if I could get that entire work week of debugging and workarounds back, but c'est la vie. Assuming, of course, that Safari has finally pulled this fix in from upstream, which is far from guaranteed.

* Date parsing (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4310953/invalid-date-in-s...) now behaves up to the standard, just like all other browsers; I suppose we no longer need to use Moment.js as "Safari's handicap access ramp" anymore either.

* The broken multi-select bug (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20039194/multiple-select-...) still seems sporadically there.

* It's unclear whether they've fixed adjacent-element selectors in querySelector (https://github.com/jquery/sizzle/issues/290). It's been fixed in Webkit, so maybe in a year or so Safari will have it fixed too.

This is just stuff I've seen in my normal day-to-day of a not-super-complex Angular single-page app. You can see, I'd hope, why I have plenty of room based on Safari's track record to assume their implementation of anything is subtly-but-painfully broken.

Normally, I'd go check the status of these things on a bugtracker, but unlike the Chromium team, the Firefox team, or the Edge team, I guess the Safari team is just too perfect to need a publicly-accessible bugtracker. Or too embarrassed to have one? Yeah, it's one of those.

Having a green (or more often, yellow-green) checkbox on caniuse or kangax doesn't mean the feature is usable, it just means it's technically available.

I disagree. I'd never use this feature, and it's extremely well-covered territory at the browser/device level (e.g. the Pocket app).

I believe HN should be re-designed to be more readable/accessible, but I'm staunchly against adding features that can be implemented elsewhere (browser, separate app, RSS reader, etc.). We're supposed to be hackers, after all -- we can roll our own features.
I went through a similar process an I ended up prioritizing just 12 items in my life. I bootstrapped a new apartment from scratch, and I ended up with less than 60 items in total, including those 12 key ones.

The upside of this is i) all items were carefully chosen for quality. They are a joy to use. ii) Radical simplicity means less costs, less maintenance, less mental burden.
Companies stuck on python 2, have known for several years that life-time support was disappearing and will do 1 of 3 things:

1) Get caught by surprise because they aren't planning.
2) Plan and pay the price of upgrading their legacy code.
3) Join an active developed (currently hypothetical) fork of python 2

I think in 2020 we'll see all 3 routes done by several companies. Better get the popcorn ready!

The Daily Show did a segment on Australia Gun Control.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVuspKSjfgA

I'd like to see a comparison of how strict California (the state with the toughest gun laws) is compared to Australia.

http://political-issues.insidegov.com/stories/10617/states-t...

It helps that Australia is an island so people can't just drive to the next state over where laws might be more lax.
Yeah that is a bit of a stretch. Last 50 years have been far from universally peaceful, but even then - this period is an anomaly in European history, not yet the norm.
> I wrote an (actually) fast memcpy() in assembly. There are more problems then just different size-s. Hardest problem is actually alignment, particularly 1 byte unaligned buffers.

It is, but in performance critical code there is never any reason to use unaligned buffers or copying byte sizes not a multiple of the machine's register size. E.g you can have a memcpy_fast() which demands correct alignment, and the standard memcpy() which is slower but has no such requirements.
Why we cannot forget the past
I think the wiring issue is mainly a UK thing. The standard way of wiring light switches in the UK is live and neutral go to the ceiling rose, and then another two wires goes to the switch which joins the live when on. This reduces the amount of wire needed, which stems back to after WWII when copper was in short supply.

I've just bought an apartment in mainland Europe and the live and neutral go to the switch, and from there two wires go to the rose.
Thanks for pointing that out! Should've spent more time on the landing page ;) I like the idea of hosting a bunch of sample pages built using the plugin too. I'll get on that.

The plugin generates CSS based on the options end users select when configuring their elements. These rules are combined and added to the page in a separate stylesheet. When "Tailoring" a page, dynamic stylesheets are managed using JavaScript. It's also possible for developers to utilise media queries (thought that's probably a little off topic). I've got a little info about that on the Help Center: http://support.gettailor.com.

I know page builder plugins are a dime a dozen nowadays (both free and premium). The idea with this plugin is to simplify the process of creating layouts for users who want to use their favourite theme. It focusses more on usability rather than cramming as many "elements" in as possible. I'm also a big believer in WordPress' philosophy of "decisions not options" and the separation of concerns between plugins and themes; this plugin aims to try and strike the right balance between those things.

The result is (hopefully) something that does what it does and does it well out-of-the-box and can be easily extended by plugin and theme authors. I see this a key differentiator with Tailor.

To answer your question though: there are some obvious similarities between this and Elementor. A key difference is the role that content plays in Tailor (being the core element and something you can move around within the page in its own right). Elements typically contain and style content, with some (like carousels and tabs) utilising JavaScript to change the behaviour. You can pull content from a carousel, for example, into a hero section and have those style changes immediately take effect.

I hope that answers the question somewhat :)
LOL. I bet this guy would rather have 50 docx files. Oh, I see there is a size comparison against plain text. However plain text also lacks his "semantic markup" and "link to specific parts" requirements. If you wanted all these features in a webpage (or webpages) just how complex would it become and how much would it "bloat" the file size?

I think the basic answer is that they seek out a challenging and satisfying life. They can get along with people and are generally more emotionally stable.

At Arts&Ideas as well as the Philly Free School, we are working to support those who have low incomes. We have one student who was even homeless for a time this past year. We have parents who have been recently bankrupted, unemployed, etc. We also have some well off parents as well.

For the most part, it is hard to spot the kids that have different backgrounds. Everyone is accepting of others. Sometimes students from challenging backgrounds get stressed out about the insecurity at home and the students around show them compassion and acceptance which goes a long way towards eliminating the stress.

I have never witnessed anyone try to overpower the democracy. It is possible in theory, but it just doesn't seem to happen nor do we have a group of outcasts. Occasionally, someone will dislike something about our system and try to change it in a way that the community would not want. It gets voted down. But by letting the disgruntled have a voice, their disgruntlement seems to dissipate.

There was a time when a group wanted to get a gym bar. They outnumbered everyone else in the room, but through discussion, it was made clear to them that they had to think this through a lot more. They did, came back later, and got it in a way that the community was comfortable with. They did not try to overrule with their numbers.

It can be hard to understand, but when one is in a culture of cooperation instead of competition, winning at the expense of others is not a path often traveled.

There is a lot of reading one can do from Sudbury Valley School. For the low income experience, you can see if Philly Free School has anything. Urban Sudbury Schools are still pretty new so there just isn't too much out there yet about it.

It absolutely could serve as a model for community reconciliation, and ending terrorism. Unfortunately it requires the people in power to back down and treat those they regard as inferior with justice and respect, which makes it a hard sell.

Which reminds me, the odious Michael Gove wrote in 2000 against the NI peace process: "it enshrines a vision of human rights which privileges contending minorities at the expense of the democratic majority". But that's exactly why human rights are important: protecting the minority from 'democratic' but unjust treatment from the majority.

I keep trying to bring NI analogies into US gun discussions because when people talk about armed resistance to the government being a constitutional right, that's what it looks like in practice. It's awful.

Mind you, last time I ran the numbers, a random resident of 70s Belfast was less likely than a random resident of 80s Detroit to be murdered. America is a violent country.
I was the parent of the thread that brought up 'correlation is not causation' point [0]. I did read the entire article, as well as other papers on the effects of environment on well being.

My main point however, is a call for some prudence especially with the relatively recent focus on bad statistics in psychology and the neurosciences. A caution against accepting a paper's conclusions because of the correlation of a few variables, and the omission of some obvious other ones. Here's just one link from 2013 [1]. fMRIs are a tool, and like any other, can be used incorrectly, which is also part of the problem. I am not negating Marc Berman's paper or this article based on it; I am just a bit wary of papers or articles with big claims (remember the article cites a 1% improvement after all of the buoying of the affects).

A variable not mentioned is that if you are walking outside, or facing a bunch of trees in a yard from your hospital room, you are getting daylight. Window panes block UVb, but not UVa (some are treated to block UVa too). Sunlight/daylight help you to produce vitamin D, which is linked to depression and the immunity system. This could be the cause of the 1% improvement the article states, and possibly not the trees.
Treatment for clinical depression figures are 60-80% successful depending on the study. An order of magnitude greater than 1% [2].

Aside from the few people who have replied to this thread about allergies and other maladies, how many people do you think are going to associate pain, depression or other negatives with an image of trees in their head when responding to a survey?

All that being said. My neighborhood was poor, and crime-ridden, yet my tree-lined block provided me with many peaceful moments of just staring at the trees, or simply listening to the wind in the leaves. I do believe they are beneficial, at least to me (except during a hurricane in NJ, where I thought the 60 foot tall, old oak tree just by my house was going to fall on my roof!).
