America’s 2.3m+ prisoners were put in prison by the US’s criminal justice system.

In a 2017 Gallup poll, 27% of Americans indicated “a great deal” or “quite a lot of confidence” in the criminal justice system. Another 37% indicated “some” confidence. And 34% rated their confidence “very little” or “none.”

The law enforcement half of the criminal justice system (the topic of the article) is viewed more favorably, with 57% of anericans rating their confidence in the police as “quite a lot” or “a great deal.”

Of course having a great deal of confidence in the criminal justice system is not synonymous with wanting 2m+ prisoners, but it does seem to indicate those respondents are not overly concerned with the high number of prisoners.

As should be obvious, I think “nobody” is overstating things a great deal.

The networking model itself is amazingly simple, and part of what makes Kubernetes so much easier to use. The rules are as follows:

All containers can communicate with all other containers without NAT.

All nodes can communicate with all containers (and vice-versa) without NAT.

The IP that a container sees itself as is the same IP that others see it as.

When using Docker by itself, you get into all sorts of complicated situations because most running containers have an IP address that's host-specific and not routable for any other machines. This makes networking across hosts a giant pain. Kubernetes takes that away by making things behave exactly how you'd hope they'd behave. My IP as I see it is reachable by anybody in the cluster who has it (policy permitting).

The simplicity of working in this networking model means that there's a little more work for the networking infrastructure to handle, making sure that IPs are allocated without collision and that routes are known across many hosts. Several technologies exist to build these bridges, including old-school tech that has solved these exact problems for decades like BGP (see Calico/canal).

Ultimately, there's no silver bullet. I'd recommend giving the k8s networking page a read. [1]

A lower tax rate is a boon to small and mid sized US companies that make up the majority of the economy and don't have the financial scale or international presence needed to take advantage of those loopholes. These companies compete daily against foreign firms, and against US conglomerates. I don't see how your comment counters the parent's argument that this a good thing for international competitiveness.

You mentioned several different topics which would take a long time to learn. I could help you with a Ruby path:

- Learn the basics of Ruby (what's happening behind the API)

- Learn the basics of Rails (what's happening behind the API)

- Read Ruby under a microscope (what's going on closer to the hardware)

- Learn the basics of cloud computing (AWS for example for the more arcane aspects of network infrastructure)

You could pick other language and find similar resources for those. Also there's ton of material out there for all of these topics. Good luck.
> If you're going to be writing C you already need to understand lifetimes deeply,

Deeply? Unlike complicated languages like for example GC-languages, C only has 2 lifetimes: block scope for stack variables, forever (until explicitly free'd) for heap malloc'ed memory.

You don't have to twist your head to know in which of N possible ways the data you get from a function was allocated, you don't have to twist your head to know if you need to free it manually, or semi-manually, or hope that it gets freed automatically at some point.

You don't have to care about stack variables, you just have to be organised about heap variables, and that's it. No complicated concept, not many different paradigms. You malloc() something to get some memory when you need it, you free() it when you don't need it any more.

Also you don't have to twist your head to know if you can access some function argument, if it was passed by copy or by reference or by a third mean, does it involve heavy data copying or not, what does it mean concerning access, etc. Everything is passed by value (copy) and you can only pass simple objects (plus structures), for anything else you pass the value of the address of the object, end of story.

I used to run a CLI program called smoketimer [1]. It'd give an output like (from the README example):

"4 Months, one week, 5 days, two hours, 51 minutes, 39 seconds.
3084 cigarettes not smoked, saving EUR 478.02.
Life saved: One week, one day, 13 hours, 36 minutes."

After I saved up an X amount of money (a year or so?), I bought myself a laptop from that; the first laptop I ever bought for myself. Quite a decent motivator if I may say so myself.

This is the sort of thing that bothers me about these kinds of arguments. Sure, you're always going to be able to find certain domains where existing libraries or language features make a certain ecosystem very well suited. And that's fine. No one's saying to discard the best tool for the job for another one that might have some general advantages but won't actually get you where you need to go.

But there are a ton of domains where C++ doesn't have anything special to offer and you could just as reasonably write the code in rust.
You are correct on both counts.
That is probably about cooling the sensor. High-sensitivity IR sensors need to be cooled so thermal noise from the sensor itself doesn't wash out a weak IR signal.

IME a lot of people use "people need to be less thin skinned" as a weak rationalization for dickish behavior that would get them fired from their job and/or ostracized from their real-life social circle. But since it's online and no one knows who you really are, it's somehow "acceptable". No, it isn't, and communities that encourage or allow that type of behavior are incredibly toxic.
Oof. That bit about teachers pulling kids aside to see if they had a winter coat is 100% truth. When I was a kid, there were basically never any school cancellations due to snow. The reason? The calculus in Montana was that it was safer to risk traveling on terrifying roads than it was to risk kids being home, alone, with no heat, and maybe nothing to eat.

As a rule of thumb there are three quality levels of recruiters. Retained recruiters who get paid whether anyone gets hired or not. They don't waste anyone's time. Everyone's interests are aligned.

Next down are contingent recruiters who have established working relationships with businesses. Because they have contracts in place that pay them only when someone is placed they balance throwing candidates at the wall and seeing what sticks with the limit to which companies will allow their time to be wasted.

The last class of recruiter has a phone and an internet connection. They scan websites looking for job listings. They scan public resumes looking for candidates. It's a high volume low success business. The recruiter will invest as little time as possible in each candidate and job listing. That's what this smells like...a recruiter whose business model cannot afford to negotiate contracts before sending a candidate out.

The recruiter cold called the candidate and sent them out on an interview without having a working relationship with the company. There's no other way to put it but that the recruiter was using the candidate's time and energy as the sole basis for establishing a business relationship with the employer.

The finder's fee doesn't shock me at all. I would not be surprised if what the recruiter was seeking was significantly higher and that is the reason for the current situation. The class of recruiter who cold calls candidates about jobs with companies that have never heard of the recruiter have to make all their income from a tiny sliver of luck. They have to press every payday with rates high enough to cover companies that won't sign their deal.

This whole thing is about money. It's about money with the recruiter. If you want to go into morals and ethics, the recruiter is willing to keep the candidate from a job unless they get paid. They are willing to keep the employer from an employee unless they get paid. They have been willing to waste everyone's time and then set their rate.

It's a matter of money and contracts. When someone says "It's not the money it's the principle", it's the money.

If Apple wanted to prioritize benefits to its home country (America) by avoiding use of ex-U.S. tax minimization schemes, it need only ask its owners (shareholders) for permission to do that.

I think Apple has enough market power to put shareholder return and tax benefits to its nation of origin at similar priorities. It would be interesting to see what Apple's shareholders would say, if asked.
Yes, the solution to that is to make opcodes for the special instructions typically available in hardware, e.g. discrete cosine transforms; or a more coarse grained approach if necessary. Eventually, it will be up to platform owners to provide translations from the bytecode to the underlying hardware.

Does this "landscraper" have the horizontal equivalent of an elevator (i.e. something where you push a button and it moves you anywhere horizontally in ~20 seconds)?

It seems like that might knock you over, but maybe there's a fun workaround (or just seats I guess).
To be clear after reading the article[0] this means "probably came from horseshoe bats" not "probably came from this particular cave which happens to be in Yunnan" or even "probably came from Yunnan". You can see from the phylogenetic tree (figure 6) that they have heavily sampled Yunnan and Hong Kong but there is only one sample from Guizhou and there are none from other nearby locations. There are thousands of caves over this entire region, owing to the dominant limestone and karst topography on this edge of the Himalayas.

Less scientifically, Yunnan is a long way from Guangdong and has zero popular history of eating or handling bats. People from remote parts of Yunnan where bats live do not often travel to Guangdong. While bats are known to harbour different viruses, I am calling bullshit on Yunnan as the source of SARS. There are many populations of bats in caves far closer to Guangdong such as far northeast Vietnam, Guangxi, Guizhou and probably Hunan and Fujian provinces which would be preferable choices for source populations of trapped wild bats.

We had to deploy 31 server solution across 31 islands in Nunavut.

Each one was connected via microwave with line connectivity to Ontario from a central location.

Each location had to be able to operate independently incase of connection failure, but would resync to the central system which is connected to the mainland.

The hardest part wasn't the connectivity, it was the the logistics and time needed to deliver people and equipment via floatplane to deploy.

Edit: it was definitely a logistics nightmare.
We had to pack our skids with alot of height and weight requirements in mind to fit.

The floatplane ran very limited, and couldn't run throughout the year due to ice/weather(we had like 6 months most).
It took us 2 years to deploy all locations.
It's a "campus". That sure sounds cooler than "commercial office space".
Nothing in that list says anything about being "comprehendible and coherent to an individual". I'd agree those are useful and good things, but security is indeed mentioned and emphasized there, and not as being secondary to aesthetic concerns.
From the article:

"Future employees might move around landscrapers on elevators that zoom back and forth laterally, not only up and down, she notes. That technology already exists in Germany, where ThyssenKrupp has recently sold the first elevator that can move up, down, sideways and diagonally—controlled by magnetic levitation—to a residential building in Berlin."
> but to be honest I have no idea what people are talking about when it comes to their gripes against Git. Little goes wrong, and when anything does, fixing it is a reflog or a reset away.

I will be happy to call you the next time one of my devs does something that causes git to wedge itself into one of those states. It happens about every 2 weeks--and I suspect that it happens more frequently than that.

Normally I can unwedge git after reading approximately 10 git pages all claiming to fix my problem (they don't but they probably point me at the brain-damaged command I need). Most of the time ... about once every 3 months everything fails and we have to pull a backup.

Fortunately, the devs have now been brainwashed to rsync the repository on at least a daily basis and always before they do anything besides a basic checkout or commit. But, hey, they're using git, and it's what everybody else uses.

As someone who uses Mercurial and does some pretty hairy stuff with it, I have never put the system into a wedged state. NEVER. The only time I saw a Mercurial repo get wedged was when the underlying filesystem barfed on itself.

Yeah, I'm a touch sore about this because I regularly get to fix problems that WOULD NOT EXIST if the team was in Mercurial instead of git. However, as a manager who likes to think of himself as "good", I cannot force tools on a team unless they actually do measurable damage.

I also get sore with the "Well, if you only understood the git model..." I DO understand the git model--much to my horror. The problem is that while a newbie can learn the Mercurial model in about 60 seconds and be productive the git model takes about 60 months to learn and they will still regularly footgun themselves.
How Your Thoughts Can Cause You to Win or to Lose
Cyclone is an interesting example. Something that is backward-compatible with C and does not incur significant compile-time overhead, like C++ does, is a potential alternative. Unfortunately, Cyclone was abandoned. It only has support for 32-bit architectures, and it is not being actively maintained. One of the biggest reasons why C is so popular is that it works on practically every platform, even those that Cyclone, Modula-2, and Free Pascal do not.

Of course, if OpenBSD eliminates support for a bunch of the platforms it currently supports, such alternative languages become viable. However, the OpenBSD team purposefully maintains these platforms because they expose errors that would otherwise be missed by a scaled-down release. Software errors missed in x86_64 or x86 may be picked up in MIPS or SPARC because of endianness.

An alternative that I think is more tenable is a language that compiles to C. Such a language can piggy-back off of C's incredible market penetration while adding safety features. Barring some extensions to Cyclone, most of Cyclone's features, for instance, could be implemented as a source-source compiler that targets ANSI C99 or ANSI C11.

If the candidate is going to call the recruiter, my advice would be simply to ask "What is the status of the position with company X?" The answer will reveal a lot. Maybe the recruiter will come clean. My bet would be that the recruiter tells the candidate they are no longer in consideration for the position. Interposing themselves between candidates and jobs is how a large segment of the recruiting industry seeks revenue. It is not uncommon for a candidate to reduce their odds of getting hired at a particular company by going through the class of recruiter that operates without a recruiting agreement in place.
Technology involved investment and investment requires a sufficient return ( even if at times slightly negative ). The return would only be sufficient if there is sufficient demand and that means sufficient population. And what does that mean? More people have more needs, spurring research and development.
> I agree that it’s important to keep in mind the balance between civil liberties and effective law enforcement.

Civil liberties are not opposed to effective law enforcement; enforced guarantees of civil liberties are a key means by which law enforcement is made to actually enforce the law effectively by doing the work to identify actual wrongdoers and hold them accountable rather than presenting the illusion of effectiveness by setting up easy scapegoats and/or using “law enforcement” as a pretext for implementing the personal interests of the law enforcers.

True. I believe most of them have a fibre backup. I’ve worked on ultra-low latency microwave at 80GHz that we were selling to HFT network providers, and the needed the fibre fallback whenever it was raining, but apparently the latency difference of the radios gave them a massive advantage when the conditions were good.
