Aren't brassicas (cauliflower, bok choy, kale, etc) contain sulfur?

Are they not a good source of sulfur? I'm confused as to why this article proclaims proteins to be the only dietary source of sulfur.
That makes almost no sense to me. Routine traffic stops often bring LEOs and "bad guys" or folks with open warrants out for them, etc... in close contact with short notice and little planning. Bad guys often panic and shoot, or drive off dangerously, etc...
The Dallas Shooting and the Advent of Killer Police Robots
As someone who knows zero haskell, and little markdown, can someone explain how this works?

haskell.org [1] says there is "bird style" and "LaTeX style" ways of marking off code vs documentation, and I see neither in the linked file. Is it the "```haskell" blocks?

Specifically, random sampling assumes that data points are independent and identically distributed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_and_identically_di...

As others have pointed out, that is not a great assumption in this case.
You have to do a cost benefit analysis. Yes, sometimes police are shot at when they perform a traffic stop. But it's very rare. I can't find statistics on the number of times police were shot at during a traffic stop, but only 42 officers where shot and killed in the line of duty last year, and there were 13 million traffic stops.
I'm sure you didn't mean it as such, but this comes off with the same air as the "all lives matter" claimants.

Yep. I'm pretty sure if you had an upright fridge built to modern standards but cooled conductively (convectively?) it would be about as efficient as the chest fridge here, but it would also have the same condensation problem.
Ask HN: I feel severely under-qualified, best way to take a step back?
In my current position, it is a very fast paced environment where the only thing that matters is speed of feature delivery, and architecture decisions and actual engineering or learning is really secondary. Learning on the job is often talked about, and collaboration is as well, but very often it seems like few of it is happening around me.

At any rate, I feel severely under qualified for my current role, and it is severely taxing on me emotionally. I had issues overcoming procrastination (perfectionist syndrome, fixed mindset, my worth is equal to my output, etc) and when I find that I am getting my head down to work, I am working 10 hours just to keep par for a good solid 5 hours of work. I have been in this career field for a little over 3 years now, and I feel as if I haven't learned much of anything in terms of being an actual better software engineer. I feel as the past 3 years have been a constant rat race of "just get it done" mode. I often look at others envious of code reviews, pair programming sessions, and actual engineering discussions where everyone provides feedback. I understand this may be more rare than I am thinking, but I know its out there, and I have been in that situation for a couple months under an amazing Iteration manager, and that 3 months I learned more about being a software developer than the rest of the time.

I would like to take a step down, and maybe slide back into an associate or "normal" developer position (whatever that is called at some companies), and spend time humbling myself and really building my work related experience, but I am not sure how to go about doing this. I welcome all opinions and answers, harsh and encouraging alike, as I am in need of both. I have the ability to learn things, see abstractions, and stay focused, I just haven't had a lot of practice actually doing that in my career, and I am looking to find a way to do that after already "faking it until you make it" for 3 years.

I don't disagree. I'm not sure that the firearm should be out of it's holster by default though? Even if the shooting in MN was just a tragic accident, there needs to be some reform that addresses why people are pulled over and why the officer had the firearm up and ready to shoot. I've been pulled over by the police in MN for similar reasons and they didn't even have a hand on their holstered firearm.

I'm at a similar level of experience as you at roughly the same place in my career. I've only interacted with one recruiter and it worked out very well for me, leading to my first full-time "real" position at a company with some other fairly talented developers from whom I gleaned a ton of knowledge. I guess it's a YMMV kind of thing. They didn't ask me to sign or pay anything, they just asked for technical qualifications(languages, tools) just lined up multiple interviews in one day for me that were a rough match.

> the probability of being {black, unarmed, and shot by police} is about 3.49 times the probability of being {white, unarmed, and shot by police} on average

What they really need to do is factor in the probability of encounters with police gI've race. That is, we want to know, out of all encounters with police, are they more likely to be fatal if the victim is black?

Without factoring in the rate of police encounters, the conclusion could just be indicating that black people are more likely to encounter the police, which is a problem in itself but is slightly different. That would point more to socioeconomic factors determining the rate of policing in neighborhoods, rather than police racism.
> His reasoning as to why that's true is really secondary, almost irrelevant.

It's really not. I'd wager that the vast majority of the efficiency is due to the lack of condensation control rather than the fact it's in a chest orientation.
That's an impressive use of literate programming. By coincidence, I had just read this post by John D. Cook "Literate programming: presenting code in human order" http://www.johndcook.com/blog/2016/07/06/literate-programmin...
>but I don't see any more documentation on how the GUI system works

What exactly do you mean by that? At a shallow level, it should be fairly obvious - it would be like any other event-driven GUI development environment - create and place widgets on a window, set their properties, write routines that respond to (keyboard and mouse) events, build and start the app, the event loop takes over, your routines get triggered by events and do stuff, etc. Are you looking for more depth, maybe on the internals? Asking out of interest in the question and answer myself.

But I'm not sure you need a lot of that depth to start using it. Just looking at some basic code examples, and using the online help as a nearby comment said, should give enough information on Free Pascal and Lazarus widgets, their inheritance hierarchy, their properties and events to which you can respond, etc. I know this because I have followed such an approach in other GUI environments, e.g. wxPython, after learning the basics of event-driven GUI programming, from my first such GUI env, and managed to get some work done.
I really don't mean to be rude or disrespectful, but how it "feels" isn't really interesting or relevant to the question of "is tech hiring actually down". The OP presented data to support its claims. The data was (imo) very flawed, but at least it provided something to start a substantial quantitative conversation. I think the OP's argument should be praised for "failing fast." By contrast, the internet of hunches is more or less immune to scrutiny.

I don't know which way the prevailing winds are blowing in tech. I could swap anecdotes with you (a tech investor I had a beer with recently seemed very happy? my giant tech employer and its competitors are doing great!), but I don't think it wouldn't get us any closer to the ground truth.

That doesn't address what I said at all. People were not frustrated with cabal-install, they were frustrated with package installation errors, and blamed cabal-install and "cabal hell" (despite the vast majority of errors having nothing to do with cabal hell). But the actual problem is widely used packages written by FP complete people deliberately refusing to follow the PvP. Yesod was the biggest example, everyone complained about how impossible it was to install. We did not need a curated set of packages and a backwards package installation tool to solve that problem, we needed the yesod devs to follow the rules.

This is exactly what I mean. You create a problem, spread FUD about the problem, then "solve" the problem by conveniently trying to move everyone to your separate ecosystem and tooling.
A user complained that the title was misleading compared to https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2016/07/messenger-starts-testin..., so we replaced "deploys" with "begins testing" above. If someone suggests a better (i.e. more accurate and neutral) title, we can change it again.

Police robot to used to kill Dallas shooting suspect
I don't know how disarming traffic cops would alter this statistic, but there were 42 officers shot and killed in the line of duty in 2015 and over 13 million traffic stops.

That puts the risk of death in a traffic stop at 0.0003%.
Why do CPUs and GPUs run hotter when doing more intensive tasks?

In your last statement I could see it making sense where the CPU actually halts, but did prior CPUs always run at about the same temperature? Or do these idle processes throw fewer instructions at one time so it's not as overwhelmed?

The post should have been 'Traffic to authenticjobs.com is down by 40%'?
I think there is some fear is in responding negatively due to the vagaries of employment law, where you are giving people the opportunity to challenge you for not selecting you for the "wrong" reason. This is why most responses should be just,"we have not decided to bring you on at this time". I always like to keep a pipeline of potential candidates warm, contacting them at least once per month, so giving no feedback whatsoever seems like a bad strategy for anyone you might ever want to hire.

However, you have to just start to imagine all of the things that happen on the other side of the curtain. The hiring manager moves to another project or hadn't been assigned when they started interviewing, the recruiter changes or their contract ends, the project funding gets delayed, the technology choice changes, they didn't know what kind of person they wanted, etc. In larger companies, you need a lot of coordination so that you don't lose a good candidate due to their not being a fit on the project that got to them first.

I would never expect a response other than "resume received" from an online submission, but, once you speak with someone, a status update of some kind, even if it is a "no decision has been made" makes sense.

Yes. And Spring is a large part of the of the reason, not the solution. Every time you see somebody making fun of Java for AbstractSingletonProxyFactoryBean and its like they are actually making fun of Spring, not Java.

From the article: "However, experts believe that there is currently no way to prevent poached ivory from entering legal chains and then finding a way on to the world market."

So no, it seems that you can't do both.
Of course they do. Eating raw eggs has been a fitness fad in the past. But besides things like chocolate mousse and whiskey sours, a lot of people eat their eggs only slightly warmed but not fully cooked.
No, I think it adds romance & mystique. Banning something doesn't make it gross, it makes it more desirable because you can't get it.
>As an analyst, one needs to keep in mind that the Journey is more important than reaching the Destination.

I'm really not sure what to make of the last line. The goal of analysis should be to produce results that are actionable. In the end it should matter very little how they are obtained as long as they are accurate.
Not to mention that creating a farm for elephants would make a great target for poachers. No one would take on that risk of raising an elephant for 25 years, only to have a poacher kill it and take the ivory (and all the elephants value).
One thing that piqued my interest is that he said they've been tracking their competitors' job ads "for a few years." I would have liked to see his competitors' numbers from '15 or '14.
I agree 100% that police could use more training, and more skills around defusing situations, people management, and frankly hand to hand combat. That takes budget and you CAN help this process along in your town!

Please do keep in mind, for folks who lack this training, a person with a knife can very easily injure or kill and absolutely poses a deadly threat (to the officer or nearby civilians). The old metric is the 21 foot rule (if your gun is in your holster a person with a knife who is 21 feet or closer can kill you before you can defend yourself with your firearm) so if you are within 21 feet of someone with a knife (acting erratically, raising a deadly weapon, etc...) then you are SUPPOSED to have your gun out and ready. That said it should be at a low ready, not pointing and shooting...

I'm not defending the police in those incidents, I don't know enough about the details to defend or attack their actions from here. But I feel like people very often forget that most police are under-trained, and put in life threatening situations that most people commenting have no real experience with.
Okay, given that this is a legal matter, your pedantry is warranted, I guess.

> It is in fact possible to remove Rhino horns safely eithout killing the animal.

What do you do with the Rhino once it's horn is gone? Are you going to raise it it's whole life to produce a few horns?
It isnt, and indeed it is rarely satisfied. The real question is how sensitive the resulting model may be to violations of this assumption.

Greg Ridgway looked at a natural experiment (proportion of drivers pulled over 1 hour before dawn, when the color of the driver is very hard to determine a priori, vs that proportion 1 hour after dawn, where it is easy) back when he was at RAND, and came to a similar conclusion. Ymmv.

Obviously, "pulled over" is not the same as "shot" but the objective data is easier to come by. Especially if you don't tell the LAPD what specifically you're studying beforehand.

Yes if you adjust for homicide rate OR the rate at which police officers are killed by civilians (black vs white) you get:

“Adjusted for the homicide rate, whites are 1.7 times more likely than blacks die at the hands of police,” he said. “Adjusted for the racial disparity at which police are feloniously killed, whites are 1.3 times more likely than blacks to die at the hands of police.”
ActionCable under stress: fixing data corruption and socket leak issues in Rails 5
This is a fantasy. Making ivory trade illegal today in every country in the world wouldn't suddenly make the demand go away.

It only drives the price up and makes crime and violence more likely as the rewards are even higher. Take the market for all kinds of drugs as an easy example. Making it illegal is very short-sighted: it doesn't suddenly make drugs disappear from society, it just makes it more expensive and this incentivizes people to crime to protect their drug business. If it was legal, drug crime would dry up overnight, like it did when Alcohol prohibition ended. You don't see the brewing company that makes Miller lite take out a hit on Yuengling Lager nowadays, do you?

If you want to preserve these animals, legal markets for them should be strongly encouraged. Think of solutions that may be developed as far as harvesting ivory that wouldn't kill the animals if it was legal. Maybe private farming that sustains these populations in some way would be developed. Chickens that lay eggs aren't in danger of going extinct anytime soon because they're being preserved because they make people money. Just having a market for a good isn't a bad thing.

Just driving it underground harder and harder encourages poor and desperate people to risk everything for a massive payday.
Conflating "take every police account of a shooting with a bag of salt" to mean what you just said is intellectually dishonest, and probably deceptive.
There's a limit to how presumed innocent people can be. If all 1000 people were involved in a shootout and fired on the police first, then it's not unreasonable that they were killed.

If it makes you feel better, there are contexts where your right to privacy should be suspended too. If the police see you kidnap a child and put him in your underwear drawer, it seems like there should be a procedure for them to violate the privacy of your underwear drawer without needing to call a judge.

And if there were 10,000 privacy violations nationwide and all of them were well-documented emergency circumstances, I'd hesitate to even call it a problem(or at least, not a problem with the police's behavior; there's clearly a childnapping problem).

Parent is just missing the point of Uber. I've spent a fair amount of time in Vancouver, always Downtown. My use case for Uber was going across town at 10 or 11pm after hanging out after work (e.g. Gastown to West End). SkyTrain is no help and a bus is 1) probably not direct; 2) not immediately available.

An Uber would be there in 4 minutes and take me door-to-door.

I usually just walked in these situations. (It's about a 25-minute walk.)
For this discussion, we might have to distinguish between continental philosophy and analytic philosophy, and then talk about how each is biased in their own way.

Continental philosophy is, in one sense, about the bias inherent in all thought.

One might say that analytic philosophy is about finding the bias free portion of thought, and judgments differ on whether they succeed.

Richard Rorty would be an interesting example of a critique of the second sort of philosophy in this context.

I wish left, right and center could come together just this once to urge young black men to not fight with police. If you feel their authority is unjustified or they are punks then you really need to handle that politically. The police are duly authorized by the state however flawed and racist that state may be, to use deadly force. The are armed with government-issued, free firearms. Fighting with them leads to your death. If that isn't your goal, i.e., martyrdom for political gain then it's a bad idea. Lets urge the young black men to submit to lawful orders and take issue later in a court of law.

The claim that XMPP on mobile can only result in lots of bandwith and battery usage is false, according to Daniel Gultsch, developer of the Android XMPP client conversations: https://gultsch.de/xmpp_2016.html

Money quote: “XMPP is not suited for mobile devices. That’s a myth that has been around for ages. It is mostly spread by people who want to sell you their own proprietary instant messaging solution.”

From my own experience, high battery usage is the fault of the XMPP client. Regarding bandwith, I have been chatting over throttled 3G and regular 2G connections. The initial connection takes noticeably longer, otherwise everything except file transfers seems fine.
