Keighley, however, later admitted the FBI had no evidence of Balogun making any specific threats about harming police.

That's the next sentence. It's not about why they were looking at him, it's about why they arrested him, and kept him detained.

“Sometimes when you couldn’t prove somebody was a terrorist, it’s because they weren’t a terrorist,” he said, adding that prosecutors’ argument that Balogun was too dangerous to be released on bail was “astonishing”.

“It seems this effort was designed to punish him for his political activity rather than actually solve any sort of security issue.”

I'm not sure how this wasn't dismissed fairly quickly as an infringement of his first amendment rights.
Have been happily working mostly from home for over a decade.

I think three things are really important:
- have a separate comfortable working environment
- have a routine
- no kids

I don't think it matters what equipment you use as long as you like it and you yourself can separate when you are "in the office" and when not. I have a separate room, but separate computers worked for me too.

Routine usually requires some experimentation and negotiation with your company and your family, but once you find something that works, make it a routine.

Kids is a short-hand for consistent presence of difficult to control and to remove interruptions. Some of it can be ameliorated with a noise cancelling headset, but they tend to become uncomfortable before end of workday so are really only something to get you through occasional interruptions (like neighbour drilling or work on the street).
How would you prove the call was spoofed? Record all calls? Prove it with statistics? No telco will pay. This is a technical problem.

I first read this article at a young and impressionable age, and I think it has some great points. But I also think I took it too far to heart. I've spent a lot of time acquiring skills and knowledge and a career. But people generally don't care about what you can do, as long as you're above a certain baseline of not being a total loser. They care about how you can make them feel about themselves.

What you're not supposed to allow is letting both succeed, because then the clients would assume everything went fine. If one errored before the commit, both transactions didn't execute successfully and you're fine. Pretty much every approach to isolation has a good chunk of errors that aren't strictly necessary (deadlocks, spurious serialization errors, ...).

Or they die, which kinda sucks.

Look, I'm generally in favour of kids wandering about the place like I did when I was a kid, but even back then we had a tragically high number of kids getting themselves crushed under farm equipment, falling from heights and landing hard, getting exposed to hazardous materials, or drowning in pits full of animal shit.

It's simply disingenuous to act as if the worst that can happen is a wee scrape and a lesson learned.

I'm kind of surprised to hear that writing to stdout is a source of concurrency problems in a language that's considered to be functional.

Surely if you can pass your IO handles to all functions that need them, you can decide on a mutexing/buffering strategy at the top of your program, wrap the standard IO interface with a delegate that does so, and pass it on. Then, for all libraries called thereafter to use it consistently isn't just a no-brainer, it's an outright given, isn't it? There's no global (impure, non-functional) handle to stdout, is there?

Also when you code something at lower levels, sometimes it’s beneficial to treat some parts of CPU state and thread state as resources: process/thread priority, interrupt mask, FPU control, even instruction set (e.g. Thumb support on ARM needs to be manually switched on/off).

True, but I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the possibility of the US sliding into a more authoritarian regime. The President is given a surprising amount of power, all things considered.

Of course, it sounds vaguely hysterical to bring this up in the era of Trump, but if there's one thing he's proved inconclusively it's that the US political system depends on polite adherence to tradition over hard and fast rules a lot more than many of us thought.
FWIW, every time a browser pops up a modal that I find suspicious, I use a task manager or an OS shell to kill the process. If I have lost faith in anything a program has rendered to the screen, I no longer trust any of the program's own ways -- including the topmost 'x' -- of making the modal cleanly go away without triggering an action I didn't want to approve of.

Dude was posting on FB. In the absence of a specific threat, he's like a million other people every day saying stuff on social media. I'm sure plenty of police officers posted horrific jokes in public and private channels and they are authorized to use deadly force and are totally unaccountable.

> Eg. If you take as axioms that it is always wrong to end life, and life begins at conception, abortion is wrong is a sound logical conclusion.

yes, and you'd also end up with an outright ban on civilian ownership of automatic weapons, amongst other safety measures. But you don't often see those two together. I think that the axioms are a layer or two below that, and might involve concepts like "individual responsibility" and "greater good"
Yeah, but in my defense, 46 billion is the same order of magnitude as 13 billion. And a lot easier to understand why it'd be around that magnitude without the stretching of spacetime.

I'd like to reframe this a bit:

> "how can we fire a whole team, hire a whole another team and put them in front of the fired team's code and have them be productive in a few days ?".

What's really happening here is "how can we fire a whole team, hire a whole another team and have the new team be as productive as the old team was?"

You might think documentation, clean architecture, avoid feature creep etc... but what's really happening is that the old team is not productive by any absolute measurement.
Of all the content in this article, "modern browser" is what you latch on to? This author isn't shaming you for your choice of browser, or telling you what you should be using for day-to-day browser.

"Modern browser" means a browser that keeps up with modern web standards. Yes, w3m (for instance) still receives updates, but (going by the changelog) those updates refine how the browser handles very old web standards rather than extends support to new ones.

The fuses I have experience with are indeed "blown" -- actual metal traces are physically opened with a large current -- and can't be intentionally reset.

Often you blow fuses in multiples and take a vote, because the fuses can occasionally re-connect or have awkward leakage due to how the metal bits behaved during the over-current, and that's embarrassing for a fuse controlling a security feature.
There kinda is. It's the line of death: https://textslashplain.com/2017/01/14/the-line-of-death/ (But, as the article points out, even that isn't perfect.)
> Eg. If you take as axioms that it is always wrong to end life, and life begins at conception, abortion is wrong is a sound logical conclusion.

Do note that often in this kind of controversial topics, the axioms are not held consistently by a given side (or the actual axioms are hidden and differ from the stated ones). For example, "it's always wrong to end a life [except when bombing abortion clinics | except when it's a death row immate]". Then the ad hoc provisions start, "oh, I meant an innocent life" ("but how can a nonsentient being be called innocent in any meaningful way?"), etc, etc. The debate then becomes anything but grounded on well defined axioms.
>Perhaps there should be a symbol for "trustworthy", that you can't render on a browser.

To expand on this, the web browsers are missing:

1) trusted pixels: Some bank websites implement this idea when you try to sign in. When you enter your id, you are shown a special secret image that you chose when you created the account. If that image isn't there, you should not trust the password field presented. Therefore, any criminal who wants to present a fake bank login screen also has to know the secret image as well. E.g. Chrome could use this technique to show the secret image with dialog boxes truly triggered by Chrome itself instead of painted by malicious HTML.

2) a trusted keyboard sequence that is well-known and standard : Windows operating system had this with Ctrl+Alt+Del. Instead of trusting any login screen, you just press Ctrl+Alt+Del because no user-mode program can hijack that special key sequence. Intercepting it requires a kernel patch or a registry hack. A similar idea could be used in browsers to toggle a special keyboard mode that disables all javascript keyboard events. This mode may be useful for password fields or as a special key sequence to "unstack" hidden buttons, etc.

I've been working "from home" for two years now and I've learned a couple thing. Living with family is huge because it really relieves the burden of loneliness as well makes you feel safe, which makes it a lot easier to take bigger risks in your work. Living with my girlfriend has been great, but it was terrible when she had a 9 to 5. It really throws you off to live with people on a 9 to 5 schedule imo because it's a totally different mindset and increases perceived social isolation.

To be clear: I was doing this on the NJ Transit above ground commuter rail.

The setup was like this:
-Pi WiFi card #1 acting as hotspot

-IPad connected to network above

-ssh into Pi from the IPad

-Do coding and local git commits in the shell on the Pi

-Running IPhone with local host spot on

-Pi's 2nd Wifi card connects to the IPhone hotspot

-Pi also has packet forwarding/routing turned on so the IPad can connect through the Pi (acting as a router)

I would do the coding logged into the Pi from the IPad via ssh and do local git commits.

The cell service was generally good enough for git to connect to GitHub so I could do pushes etc

In turn, the Pi's 2nd wifi card

I tried. Twice. As a privileged white man in America trying to understand the black experience. However, I could only get about 2/3 of the way through before giving up. I empathized with his early agony and injustice, but the fact that he turned it into a hate for white people and a religious fixation was way too much for me. In the end I saw the only difference between his view and the views of the Klan was his brought out by personal and systematic suffering. The hate, the bias, the intolerance would have just been a simple copy/paste of terms. I got volumes more out of James Baldwin's "The Fire Next Time".

as an engine mechanic, is this sort of game play normal in office jobs?

When I've been taken on as an apprentice, its an interview to see my competency...where i stand i guess and what i need to learn. Questions like 'whats the hardest thing' and 'how do you handle grumpy people' are pretty normal.

Being hired on full-time, and having to hire another mechanic myself, The questions are pretty cut and dry. Can you stick to a schedule, describe a 4 cycle engine, what a cam profile, give me a reference.

Once weve hired someone new, we generally know if shes going to make it or not. we all chip in to help if theyre struggling, but we dont play weird games.

I've worked remotely for my last two jobs, and in general, love it. I live in a city I love, and the companies I've worked for are in places I really don't want to be in, physically.

What I don't see, however, is a "third option" that I'd really, really want: the option, say, one day a week, to work in a shared space, with people related to my domain.

My company actually has an office that's in a suburb of where I live now. But it's inhabited by people who work in completely different functions and unrelated products. So going there would mean... I'd just basically sit there and chat with my coworkers online all day. Maybe have awkward superficial conversations in meatspace with a sales member, but I find the chats are just not very interesting, because I end up spending all my time explaining what I do, instead of actually having a conversation.

Again, what I'd love, is a shared space with other software engineers working on different products or tech. Sure, there are always issues of IP and privacy, but, I'd guess that the random watercooler conversation with someone tackling a very different kind of problem would be valuable. The added bonus of networking would be useful too.
ISO C doesn't leave it up to the hardware. Integer division is required to truncate toward zero; the remainder harmonizes with that. (If someone designs a new HLL which leaves some arithmetic to the hardware that C doesn't, that is indeed silly.)

The sane language here Common Lisp: it does it in all the ways rather than picking one approach with some hand-waving justification about why it's the good choice.

It has truncate, round, ceiling and floor functions that all return a quotient and remainder.

There are also mod and rem functions that calculate just the remainder from a floor and truncate, respectively.
