As far as I know, only parliamentarians enjoy immunity in Germany, though the parliament can detract this right from its members. But just because police/judges/… can be prosecuted, does not mean they will; in reality, only a handful of police officers and judges get convicted (mostly only when they do illegal stuff outside their job). And if they get convicted, there is hardly any penalty. People keep their jobs, maybe pay some fine. That's no surprise, the police investigates itself, and of course nobody likes to speak against their comrades. Also, law enforcement, law maker and the court system tend to be friendly to each other.

I heard the Netherlands and Britain have a better system, where an independent party investigates accusations against police officers.

I will reiterate my prior statements: if you take a job that pays you (in part) in stock, with no path to sell it pre-IPO, you should never accept anything other than the highest class of preferred stock. If the company is unwilling to give you that, then you should assume that their, or their VC, long term plan is to screw you.

At this point there have been enough cases where startups have clawed back the shares the issues, never gone public even when they’ve “made it” so you can’t sell your stock, or in this case outright stolen from their employees by changing the company charter to retroactively devalue all the stock that they used to pay their employees.

[edit: charter is not spelled “charta”. I’d swear I used to be able to spell...]
I am with you on the asynchronous part. Dev wise, I am an amateur for 30 years (this is not false modesty, I code for fun only and do not follow the correct practices), coming from a C, Perl and now Python world. A world of code which is executed line by line.

I tried JS via Vue. Oh man, it was hard initially judt because I did not realize that there is a niw concept I now call "things will happen when they happen and my code is a bunch of blocks of such stuff".

This is particularly visible in Vue where you know that your code starts with mounted() and then everything happens when something triggers it. Specifically methods and data change.

Once I realized that, JS is nice.

OTOH I never, ever managed to understand asynch code in Python (which I know much better than JS)

I like the idea but found it a little hard to follow the arguments. Especially difficult if you follow down the cons thread, because a con of a con is a pro of the original point.

I worry that it won’t really result in more rational outcome but I do wish it luck. Is there anyway to downvote the points for being, for example, strawman arguments?

That's interesting, is there enough agreement on word-meanings that structural reasoning can coexist in some way (example: Someone could request a rewrite of a post to a structurally-reasoned format), or would the entire messaging system need some kind of re-do?
I had disc replacement as well as fusion, since C5-6 is likely in next few years. I got lucky because C-spine is much easier to operate than lumbar. They go in from front (neck) and do not need to touch the spinal cord. For lumbar, they have to.

One cool thing I learned about is the existence of IONM: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraoperative_neurophysiologi...

I felt pretty comfortable knowing that things would flash red and beep if anyone got close to my spine during the surgery.

Close friend of mine with multiple lumbar herniations swears by stretching regimen like frequent yoga. Maybe that can help in the meantime. Good luck!
> Computer science has always had this tension between being an actual "hard" science and an applied engineering discipline

I actually would go much further: I would say that the tension is between an applied engineering discipline and a vocational degree ala, well, plumbing.

I don't think there's much question that fields like quantum computing belong more in the "applied engineering" category (or even the "hard science" category). There's much more question about whether professional software development has any significant relation to the field of Computer Science other than the bare fundamentals.

My hunch in the future is that we'll see the field bifurcate into two very different professions, ala EE and electricians: "Computer Engineering" (or whatever it's called) will become a much more limited field that is overseen by the NSPE and has a licensure system, and "Software Development" will become a vocational degree (if that, even) and represent the vast majority of software development jobs we see today.

That obviously has problems, but I see it as an inevitable compromise that might eventually help resolve questions like, "this set of customer personal data was leaked because of a known but unpatched vulnerability, who signed off on this software release?" and also relives a lot of the pressure on regular software developers to understand these fundamental CS concepts that don't come up much in practice.
Python is the worst programming language, except for all the others I tried (Fortran, C++, Java, Scala, Clojure, PHP, Ruby, Mathematica, IDL).

But seriously, the points raised by the author are valid. However despite this Python is still a pleasure to use. In addition the author fails to mention some newer things, which can help with some of the problems Python has:

1. Python Type annotations

2. Please use the concurrent futures package for multithreading: https://docs.python.org/3/library/concurrent.futures.html

3. For distributed concurrency please use Dask: https://dask.pydata.org/

4. Please use pipenv for package management:

> Period. So ignorant. At least give those videos a look. There is actual science behind it

You may want to post peer-reviewed research papers backing those videos instead. It’s a lot easier to review.
What you describe is pretty much exactly the range of "undefined" behavior one would expect, and also in the range of what used to be "permissible":

you just write to that address

What happens then is hard to predict, and therefore in a sense the behavior after that becomes "undefined". This is fine. What's not fine is the compiler taking some action other than

1. just writing to that address (ignoring), or

2. emitting a compiler error and terminating, or

3. doing something else that is "characteristic" of the environment, and documenting it

Current optimizing compilers don't do any of these things, and also not something that in any way resembles any of these options.
Of the two sides, to me the FDA is the one exhibiting the most phoniness, their blatantly dishonest stance on marijuana being a perfect example.

And are distinctly unpleasant at higher doses.

They can be addictive though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antidepressant_discontinuation... (at least in that they can cause withdrawal when stopped).
If it doesn't seem fair, it usually isn't. Maybe not even if founders knew this could happen and accepted it willingly (which I doubt they did). This is just the more powerful and experienced squeezing out the weaker ones to grab as much profit as possible.

If arguments are too formal, people won't be able to naturally share them. It would become programming in a argumentation DSL. Maybe new NLP algorithms will be able to give you a mapping from natural language to a more formal one.
Just a quick suggestion: the commands under the headings are capitalized. e.g. LS and CD. This might be confusing for a beginner, because if they try that command as listed they will get an error.

Symbolic logic is the flow of premise interacting with another premise to form a conclusion. And radial fan-out does not allow premises that are at the edge of the fan-out to correlate with each other for additional but new conclusion.
Nice work, but this looks kinda use-less (or not as useful as it could be) to me. Not in terms of 'you will never need it' but in terms of 'hey I just learnt something and now I can do X what I could not do before' :-/

It just tells someone who wants to learn the CLI how to do the things they already know to do with some file browser. What I am missing are the things you can do with the CLI only and which make the CLI so special e.g. pipes.

In general, it is kinda hard to chain GUI programs together and that is exactly where CLI tools are great. While I would certainly agree that it is too hard to start explaining what curl does, maybe coming with some process management example would be simple enough (many people know how to close some program via a task manager). Another good example might be to execute some command every few seconds (e.g. watch du -sh).

I don't want to be negative here, especially because I appreciate simple and straight forward tutorials, but I think that tutorial could be even more valuable with some better examples. Maybe in some part 2?

> you should never accept anything other than the highest class of preferred stock. If the company is unwilling to give you that, then you should assume that their, or their VC, long term plan is to screw you

If this is your mentality, don't work for a start-up.

Employees don't get preferred stock. Founders don't get preferred stock. Your downside protection is your cash salary. Asking for preference as a non-capital contributing stakeholder conveys a fundamental mis-understanding of start-up financing's tradeoffs. (I would be highly suspect of a company throwing preferred stock at employees. It smells like something between incompetence and a scam.)
When my dad was dying it took 4 days after he became unresponsive. They administered morphine all along but not enough in one dose to be fatal.

The rattling came on day 2-3, then quieted down.

The strange(?) thing was that he lost consciousness and became unresponsive shortly after my brother arrived at the hospital. My brother was the last of the immediate, local family to arrive. My dad acknowledged his presence and in a few minutes was unconscious.

Then on the fourth day he passed shortly after his grandkids arrived from the airport.

> The possible range of actual behaviors doesn't define what UB

Hmm...you might want to actually read an article before declaring it an "ignorant diatribe".

The current standards do say "possible". The first ANSI/ISO standard said "permissible". It also wasn't a "NOTE" back then.

If the standard currently said what I would like it to say, why on earth would I advocate changing it?!?

And once again, the wording I want is the way it was in ANSIC-C '89. So I am advocating changing the wording back to what it was...and lo-and-behold, C compilers were more sensible back then.

So please inform yourself.
You're right, there's definitely nothing at all worth doing up there. No science to do, no minerals to collect, no opportunity to expand beyond our home planet, nothing.

This robot did not feel anything at all, lets not anthromorphize.
You hit on something important. I did feel like I was spending a solid chunk of my lifetime on something that, worse than meaning nothing, I felt might ultimately mean the erosion of rights for many folks, and I did it as an unwitting cog. I have heard myths of good employers, but I doubt that they exist.

Americans have this delusion that jobs should be part of their identity. Fuck that shit. Brands are terrible; recall the etymology [0] and then think twice about being branded. Employers have no loyalty to employees. I've been fucked by every HR department for good-Samaritan behavior and I don't know anybody who hasn't.

Employment today is a losers' bargain, where we give up unreasonable amounts of personal autonomy in exchange for a meager pittance. Nobody is paid what they're worth; hilariously, you will find people here on HN defending this practice as necessary for business. When people defend the concept of business, they reveal themselves as servants of Mammon. Business itself is not an end, but supposedly only a means, and even then only supposedly a way of outdoing a planned economy. By giving business itself a value in our society, we invite ourselves to be turned into hamsters in wheels.

And not even good hamster-wheels! The software that we use in our daily lives, the good software, the software produced with care and concern and quality, is overwhelmingly produced by academics, by volunteers, by amateurs, by R&D groups, by patronage, by government sponsorship, by weekend projects, and (most gallingly) by full-time employees who write code without explicit managerial approval and don't ask for permission. Just think: The nerve of those FTEs to write code that would become our text editors! How dare they! They should have been working on what their employer told them to work on; that is good business! And yet it is only because of employees ignoring employer desires that we are able to enjoy our current degree of openness and freedom.

I must admit, a title that describes randomized intervention of bathing brings to mind the vision of smelly people being accosted with with buckets of soapy water.

I would like to add that the "agree"/"disagree" or "pro"/"cons" should have a random placement (left or right) and also random colors every time the page is loaded. "Cons" shouldn't be red.

The brain has several cognitive biases, such as giving more value to the last paragraphes it reads (which are usually at the right, or at the end of a text block). Cultural biases, such as colors (red for "alert","bad" for example) also influence judgements.

I know this was posted due to the Thai cave rescue but what is discussed in this manual and what they are doing are different. Exley wrote this because scuba divers, some even experienced cave divers, were dying in cave diving accidents and landowners in Florida were closing caves or banning diving. This blueprint is more accident/incident analysis than training material. It was required reading when I got cave trained ~17 years ago.

The Thai rescue will use some of these techniques but it's whole different set of challenges they have to deal with; being in a silt out with an untrained person who hasn't eaten or slept much for almost two weeks

Sadly Exley died a few years later trying to get into the record books for "deepest cave dive" which goes again "Going too deep"
