No. How would you even come to that conclusion? They are clearly talking about the black market for the drug.
Regarding the topic of career longevity as a software engineer:

Focus on combining your software engineering skills with delivering value in a specific, core competency.

That is to say:

Good software engineers tend to focus on being good at programming, and all of the details that venture entails (e.g., mastery of specific languages, knowledge of specific ways of operating in a given framework, IDE, or tool, etc.).

Better software engineers are capable of all of the preceding, plus the ability to apply a deeper level of problem-solving ability that has been laser-focused by their experience in the art.

Superlative software engineers are capable of all of the preceding, plus the ability to leverage those skills to deliver value as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) in a specific domain.

I believe that you have to be more than just a programmer if you want to maximize your career's longevity, and its associated compensation package.

If ever there was a time to unschool / homeschool your children, today is it and this article has a clear and concise picture of why.

"Adultification" is a good word for the problem, of which shooter drills are a small part.

I appreciate the comparison between "duck and cover" in the 50s to the "active school shooter" of today -- the latter being equally ineffective and as terrifying than the former (if not more).
Maybe Apple should make this into a built-in iOS feature with proper privacy and data minimization.
But [] isn't really a keyword, and `dict`, `print`, `int` and `str` (and `_`) are definitely not keywords (they're just function/type names/symbols; they can be shadowed, for example).
Would any of the experts from this thread be able to help out with on a fun project with low-latency video?

I'm trying to get video from a raspi + webcam attached to a drone car that's controlled from a web app. Eventually, I'd like to use it to enable visitors from around the world drive around in my apartment and maybe play treasure hunt/escape room kind of games.

In order for internet-folk to operate the drone without frustration I need the lowest latency video streaming I can get. Currently using an mJPEG stream but it has no audio and doesn't take advantage of the on-board h.264 encoding of the webcam (logitech c920). Car operation and the web app is already done.

I very much agree with you here. Slack is bad software in general but particularly bad for open source communities. Searchability is essentially gone, it requires a proprietary and extremely heavy piece of software to access, and it's very hidden from public view.

> But at the end of the day, our commanders make decisions

One of the decisions not practically available to the captain is to stay in port because he declares his ship not ready.

If a crash happens, like it did, he's legally responsible and his career ends.

But if he declares his ship unfit, then he's also declaring himself unfit, because he didn't ensure that his ship was ready. And under the "operational pace" that's been described in all the articles about these incidents, you can easily imagine the unspoken order that "you will not take your ship out of service." Even though that also is his legal responsibility, if appropriate.

We've all seen or experienced "get it done, just don't tell me how you do it."

My assumption is if all ships in the 7th fleet took themselves offline until training and resources were merely acceptable, there'd be no 7th fleet.

And we're not even at effing war! At least not in the Western Pacific. Imagine the shitshow that will be a shooting war in the Western Pacific.

Can one improve at this kind of skill? This is a serious question.
We currently have a 3-year old who's vaccinated and a 5-month old who isn't because she can't be yet.

We also live near the epicenter of this outbreak, and it's enormously irritating how grossly irresponsible both lawmakers and people in the community have been around this issue.

Some of the kids at our eldest's preschool weren't vaccinated, which by proxy put all the families who also have much younger children at much, much higher risk. Thankfully a responsible amount if peer pressure was able to cajole those families to get their kids vaccinated finally.

But, the waves of anti-science BS that we're all wading through are growing in frequency and amplitude, and it's not clear how to ebb it.
Having grown up in the Seattle area (now in SF since after college) I can’t say I’m surprised the Pacific NW is where anti-vaccination parents would cluster to create an epidemic. There’s the right mix of pseudo-intellects, granola hippies, and helicopter parenting to make it all so unsurprising

I think Rust and Swift's approach of approach of making the user explicitly annotate (both at function definition time and a call time) these kind of parameters works pretty well.

I think you're right that it can often be an antipattern. But there are also use cases (usually for performance reasons), and the real problem occurs when you are not expecting the modification to happen. If the parameter is annotated then it's obvious that it might be mutated, and less of an issue...

P.S. Looking forward to the open source release. This langiage looks pretty nice/interesting to me, but there's no way I would invest time into learning a closed source lanaguage.
It's a simple fact that vaccines are safe and perhaps the best medical tool we have along with antibiotics to prevent mass death. Only 0.0001% of vaccination doses result in significant complications (roughly 3,800 compensated injuries out of 3.4B doses over ~30y, something like 5,600 total filed injuries [1]). It's also true that they work in part through herd immunity, the concept that if most people are vaccinated, diseases can't spread to those who aren't or can't be.

Still, enough people find this controversial, resorting to conspiracy-minded thinking. It's another example of how science doesn't seem to sink through, and repeating facts doesn't seem to help. Maybe figuring out how to communicate more empathetically through people's perceived values can help [2]. But honestly I'm at a loss, and it's deeply tragic to see so much needless suffering.

Measles is especially pernicious, too.

Not only is having measles deeply unpleasant at best and fatal at worst, surviving it leaves you more susceptible to other knock-on diseases for something like two or three years. Widespread measles vaccinations cratered the measles death rate, obviously, but it also cratered the deaths from pneumonia and the like.

Per [0][1][2], the epidemiological data is suggestive of this -- but sequencing the virus and poking around at its RNA is starting to figure out exactly how sneaky of a thing the virus is.

Ocado warehouse fire: Homes evacuated amid 'explosion risk'
I've lived on incredibly small amounts of money before. At one time in my life (when I was young and travelling) I couldn't afford meat and became vegetarian. Throughout my life I've spent periods where I've chosen to spend incredibly small amounts of money (though out of choice rather than necessity). I'm talking the equivalent of less than $1K per month.

I think the biggest thing you need is to have the skill to understand where the time/money tradeoff pays off. If you have a low paycheck, it doesn't make any sense to work overtime and then not have time to cook a meal. If you have a family, you might be talking about making $20 and spending all of it at Mac D's. These kinds of things add up as well. If you need a car to maintain a hectic schedule, it can easily end up costing you as much as your entire food budget.

These things are super hard and I think people, whether poor or rich, get it wrong all the time. Prioritisation is also super hard. It's easy to get in your head "Oh, I should have a least X" and so you go out and get X, even though you don't actually need it. Then you get stuck in an inefficient part of the curve for all of the other things that you do need.

In that way, the stigma of poverty is often worse than the poverty itself. If you accept your poverty and cooly make the right choices all the time, then you can live on very, very low levels of money. You can even do so very comfortably and be happy. But if you fight against it, loose heart and try to be "like everyone else", then it's this terrible downward spiral that you can't get out of.

And it's kind of stupid because you can work out the math a million times over and say that people should be able to live on $X or make time for Y, but nobody teaches people how to be poor and happy. We collectively send the message that poor is bad and that only through increased money will your life get any better.

I honestly wish we taught more life skills in high school. Most of the academic stuff people ignore and forget anyway. I'm happy I know about ionic bonding, how titration of acid works, etc, etc because I have used it to make beer and cheese. But it's just not relevant to the vast majority of people on the planet. How we get away without teaching basic skills like managing a budget, shopping, finding a place to live that you can afford, finding and doing well at a job, etc, etc, etc I just don't understand.
Submitter here. Bloomberg changed their headline. I copy and pasted the headline from the time I saw the article and didn't hand write anything or sensationalize it. Here is a screenshot of a messenger post from the person that shared the article with me originally http://tinypic.com/r/2rcn9qe/9
I have the same model the OP posted about, exactly the same issues as him. This whole time I've been thinking it my systems fault. Despite the fact I had it on a Surface Book and a Toshiba Portege and a Surface Pro 4.

"This building is not meant for humans to be interacting with the racking and the storage - it has robots moving racking on to loading bays, so for firefighters trying to get in that high and to make an effective fire-fighting strategy, it has been very difficult," he said.
To take the example at hand, for many young(ish) people taking time off work to learn electronics wouldn't necessary be a nice experience. Because their lives exist to a large extent in relation to work. They have moved to a new city, because of work. Where the live in a small apartment, to be close to work. They have friends, from work. And they have coffee on their way to work, to talk about work or even to do work.

They couldn't just take time off and have a similar life. By leaving work they would lose a lot of the connection to their de facto lives. It wouldn't be worth living in an expensive city, in a small apartment and have expensive coffee "just" to learn electronics. Increasingly the things in people's lives aren't "neutral". Their small apartments are made for going to work from, not necessarily for doing things in. But you can't necessarily move either without losing context.

On the other hand if you are already established. You have a house, a family, friends outside work and whatever else you need, it isn't necessarily that hard to go down in the basement and learn electronics instead of going to work for six months out of the year. Because your environment is "neutral" and exists whether you go to work short-term or not. A lot of people aren't really established like that though.

More crowdwisdom. Also stops corporations from acting unethically. Consumers will have to start preferring DAOs over regular companies for DAOs to become mainstream unless crowdwisdom has a huge impact.
It's not about drunk drivers escaping detection. I don't drive drunk or do anything illegal in my car (other than sometimes exceed speed limit with everyone else), and I still prefer to avoid a "Papers please" situation on the road because I don't like the government flexing their guns to force me to stop my vehicle and interrogate me for no good reason.

Plus, obviously, they are traffic predictors.
It's not true that it has to be the only light source. All of the light sources have to be the same type and on the same circuit, which is fairly common.

Many AC motors are synchronized to the frequency of the power line, by the same principal that turbines in the power grid are. So 60hz AC often means 30hz = 1800 rpm motor, and 59.8hz AC means 29.9hz motor. So if you have LEDs with a half bridge rectifier and your machinery is 180 degree rotationally symmetric, it will appear to not be moving, even if the line frequency fluctuates.
The most ironic effect of school shooter training is that it encourages more school shootings.

I was surprised that "you look like you'd shoot up a school" is becoming a relatively common insult in middle school kids.

The more society thinks about school shootings, the more mentally troubled people will think about school shootings.

Shooting up schools is a fad. Just like many other types of murders have gone through fads (mail bomber). Copy cat murderers are our biggest problem, and becoming hysterical when school shootings happen is why copy cats are so prolific.
Well, you are correct that that parses. But how? I'm with it right up to around "new class extends"; `new` I'm okay with, but doesn't `new` require a symbol (the name of the type to allocate) after it? I tried parsing "class extends async function" as an expression that boiled down to a type that we could new, but I get lost at "class extends" — don't we need a class name there? (Also, I didn't think `class` could be used in an expression…)
In all my time in Clojure I've never seen a project use compile-time type checking. core.typed [1] exists but I've never used it. Most people use either no type checking or if needed they'll judiciously apply something like schema [2] or spec [3].

Apple has enough of a history responding to things like this to make publishing an article about bad app behavior on iPhones a plausible way to bring it to an end. If your goal is to change app store policies, including Android phones is just going to dilute the possibility that Apple responds to an iPhone article for no additional gain because Google is unlikely to do anything.
Obliged by ANZUS, but would they really?

Can it really always be optimised by the compiler. For example, I imagine optimising `sort(&arr)` which cannot mutate arr could be quite difficult, no?
I would argue that this is a niche that is underserved at the moment. There are very few powerful, fast-compiling, as-fast-as-C languages. Right now I'm aware of Nim and Zig in this space, along with Jonathan Blow's unreleased programming language Jai. I have used Nim, very briefly, for a toy project. I can say that it's really interesting and has a lot of great ideas, but it feels a little rickety. Like it's a slightly too-thin layer over C. Zig I haven't looked in to much yet. Jai isn't out yet.

There are other languages that are slightly further from this niche which might serve. Go is not very powerful, lacks generics, is garbage collected. Rust . . . I don't know. Turned off by the fact it's so hard to write a linked list in it (I know that's very superficial but it is what it is). It also doesn't compile very fast from what I read.

I think this is a great space for new ideas. The successor to C is still quite unsettled, I think, and there's space for motivated people to have an impact..
The USA does too, as evidenced by the NSA’s spying and Trump being Trump. ICE issues iPhones as government furnished equipment. They’re almost certainly being used to help coordinate the caging of children.

So Apple just shouldn’t do business anywhere then?
I think it’s well worth the risk. I just ran a gas line to my house a couple of months ago because it’s the clear winner for heating.

But I’m quite confident that the only reason people tolerate the idea is because it’s old. If it were a new idea, arguments such as yours would never be enough to win people over.
Arguably OSI took the DFSG, which was understood to only apply to Debian, renamed it the OSD, and then tried to apply it to the whole OSS movement.
With prepayment of tip, we have no idea how the service will be. It would make sense to just roll it into the base cost.
"Most of those infected are unvaccinated children under 10, health officials said."

Making it worse, the non-vaccinated group also endangers the vaccinated group! Just because your vaccinated doesn't mean it will work. So now with it spreading, there is %5 odds (or whatever the odds are) you get the virus EVEN IF you are vaccinated.

So even if you are doing the right thing and ARE vaccinated you are still screwed by these non-vaccers.
Telemetry implies capturing data in the form of measurements. Stuff like "touchscreen swipe: element, location, and duration". A click heat-map would be an example of telemetry.

This isn't the same thing. This is an actual recording of a user's entire session. While it doesn't capture a rendered image like a "screen recorder" would do, it captures every change in real-time, so it can play it back perfectly, and the end result is the same: you can watch a video of your user's session.

And I can personally confirm that people definitely stand around the water cooler and talk about the stuff they watched. It's creepy.
The answer is just that I haven't gotten around to trying Racket. I've eyed it now and then but I've never done anything serious with it. It does seem to be the closest match for me barring Clojure.

That said, the JVM is a huge part of why I like Clojure. Because of the mountains of corporate code written in Java there is an insane amount of pretty high quality (if extremely object oriented) code available for it. I can find a library for basically any third party tool I'd want to use and if someone hasn't written a Clojure wrapper for it yet I can whip one up pretty quickly most of the time.
> In fact, health officials say the virus is so contagious that if an unvaccinated person walks through a room two hours after someone with measles has left, there’s a 90 percent chance that an unvaccinated person will get the disease. People can spread measles for four days before the rash appears and for four days after.

Yikes!

Yes, that's why I pointed out that my hand-made URL gives you papers from all subject classes.

I guess what's happened is this: originally they just had CS, then the number of submissions swelled and became impractically large, so they broke it up into subject classes... but they did not go back and sort all old submissions according to the newly introduced subject classes, because it would be way too much work.

Maybe they will let somebody train a classifier on new submissions and let it go back over the old entries, someday. But until they do, the archive is an unsorted mess of all subject classes.

And that's why they don't provide an archive link for each subject class.
A fair point!

Yes, this is something I was unaware of. Essentially, after getting the measles, you end up needing to be revaccinated for just about everything. Nobody had ever mentioned that.
> And, if you're that old, you should be GOOD

I have a personal request... Please don't say "And, if you're ${SOME_DEMOGRAPHIC}, you should be ${SOME_LABEL}"

I understand what you are saying, but it doesn't leave room for someone like me. I got mu first dev job at 40, about 5 years ago. No matter how good I am, it's not possible for me to have more than 5 years of experience. And my age has nothing to do with how good I am.

Fluorescent tubes are most noticeable, LEDs a little less. Tungsten or Halogen are the only sensible option for workpiece illumination.
