That's debatable. Because the police (especially the military police) should not be judge, jury and executioner.

I'm on the fence about this as I don't have enough information to form an opinion. I'm European living in the US and so far removed from anything happening in South America that I cannot judge based on the news. I have one Brazilian friend who does agree with this approach so that's that.

Bun in general, this is going too far. It's no longer a slippery slope. If the cops have authority to fly around and snipe 'criminals' then the opportunity for abuse is ridiculous. Nobody should have that power.
They used to do that a long time ago. You would sit there with them as they transferred it off your old machine.

GPUs help considerably here, taking a look at previous ORNL machines:

Jaguar | 2.3 PF XT5 (CPU-only) | 7 MW for HPL
Titan | 27 PF XK7 (1:1 CPU to GPU) | 8.2 MW

Overall, substantial changes in computing power and 10%-20% increase in power.

No one questioned that the US could hurt China. Did we forget that that isn't the point? So far the US has not gained anything from this.
This title is misleading considering their findings. Only in states that were already moving towards legalization and reduced bias did you see a sharper reduction after federal legalization. States that weren't moving towards legalization only dug in their heels and had increased bias after federal legalization. Looks like another case of the government trying to speak for everyone with a one-size-fits-all solution and only serving to polarize people further.

"Although states passing legislation experienced a greater decrease in bias following legislation, states that never passed legislation demonstrated increased antigay bias following federal legalization."

Close, but not quite. Police were created solely to protect the interests of landowners. They keep a decorum so that the wealthy can keep hold of their wealth. Landowners (in the US) were also commonly slaveholders, so I can see why you believe what you do.

Police forces existed long before Jim Crow laws, and their purposes were always centered around protecting the property of the wealthy.
Sounds like a bit of code which was hard to trigger the negative test and therefore the fallback failed to work properly.

Not sure how the kernel devs generally go about testing the “this virtually never happens” code paths without adding debug switches to every unhappy path.

Certainly I doubt they are using DI/IoC to wrap an interface to RDRAND which allows unit testing the failure modes.

At least the result is a failure to generate a key, not a compromised key.

This shit has been on my mind a lot lately: all the atrocities Appalachians have been subjected to, the sewage infrastructure crisis affecting rural black communities in the Deep South, cancer alley, probably even more issues Deep South rural black communities deal with that I'm unaware of, etc.

P much my conclusion is nobody gives a shit what happens to people in rural areas, and ESPECIALLY in the rural South. We're all out here, out of sight, out of mind, just "getting what we voted for." However, what goes on with rural black communities IS racially motivated, or maybe a better phrase is "racially justified." BUT. What goes on in Appalachia is ALSO "racially motivated/justified" in the sense that Appalachians are "white trash" and therefore "lesser than" just like black people and therefore in the eyes of some deserving of all their hardships. It's just instead of race, prejudice against Appalachians centers around having a distinct culture completely separate from the rest of America. The Appalachian dialect being synonymous with backwardness and stupidity is a stereotype over 100 years old.

It's all a caste system, and imo the whole "Trump Country" narrative just serves to reinforce it and give the rest of America an out for fully reckoning with the continuing legacy of slavery in the rural Deep South and finally just plain recognizing the legacy of extractive industry in Appalachia to begin with. The rest of America's wealth was built on the blood of both of these groups.
> The real problem imho is the size of the emitting aperture. Focusing a laser tightly at any distance requires a device probably too large for a fighter aircraft.

Focusing a laser onto a 100mm point at 5km does not seem like it would take that large of an aperture, and that should be all you need to kill the seeker.

> Get it during the boost phase (the first few seconds after launch) and even a pinprick through the side of the rocket motor will cause it to explode in a true "shoot down".

IIRC most air to air missiles have a boost phase far longer than that - I think most will still be burning at intercept for shots inside the killbox. That's part of the selling point of the Meteor [0] - it can throttle, so it'll almost always be burning at intercept.

> But in that scenario why wait for the missile to be launched? If you can burn through the rocket motor after launch, you can do so before launch.

It's a lot easier to argue that the other side shot first when you blow up the missile AFTER it leaves their plane. Not to mention the case where the responsible aircraft wasn't detected until after launch...

I had a group of friends who played it in the 1980s.

It was a long-lived informal group of game-players that started in the 1970s, and has continued (with almost-total replacement of the membership over time) until roughly the present day. We played very different games at different times--pencil-and-paper roleplaying games; Risk and Diplomacy; Civilization; Cosmic Encounter; Illuminati; MMORPGS; Nomic; custom versions of several of the above using modified rules and our own maps and other materials.

Nomic worked quite well for one of the iterations of the group. It was very entertaining--though exhausting to play--and it was educational about the legislative process.

I think the most significant thing I learned about legislation is that, regardless of what it is theoretically supposed to accomplish, what it actually does accomplish is to reward legislators who are skillful at gaming the legislative process.

I learned other things, too:

- Given an incentive, people can be incredibly flexible and creative in trying to outmaneuver one another in dealmaking.

- Very often, the most capacious bladder wins.

- If you succeed in making rules about what is allowed, you must expect that others will make rules redefining the terms used in those rules.

- Any self-serving proposal can be made to sound like it's for the common good with the right combination of incentives, creativity, and charisma.

- No matter how bitterly someone opposes your proposal, you can still get their support if you can find the right payoff and add it to your proposal.

- There is no way to limit what other legislators can do to a proposal through amendments (we tried all sorts of things, and they all ultimately failed).

I also learned that real-world legislators have to have incredible endurance. A hotly-contested game of Nomic can drag on for hours and leave all the participants completely exhausted. Real legislation must be much more grueling. The stakes are higher, the costs and rewards are more significant, and the game never ends.

Most things on RHEL 7 aren't ancient - there's plenty of backports, even major ones.

Some examples:

- OpenSSL rebase to 1.0.2k (for HTTP/2 support).

- overlayfs2 kernel support.

- Kernel eBPF instrumentation.

- Introduction of podman and friends.

- Ansible is kept up-to-date.

- GCC 7 and Python 3.6 via Software Collections.

This includes extensive testing. I have non-production systems on Fedora which run mainline kernels and have seen my fair share of performance regressions and crashes.

You don't need to be good at "monetizing" to just ask people how you can improve. Throw a little survey box in the corner, and the people that use this thing enough will let you know what would make their lives better. Those people will use that thing, and you ask them to contribute ($$$) a little bit so that you can do more of that. Some of them will do it.

The Apple Store is now fully an episode of Portlandia.

It's like a big confusing miasma at burning man where everyone is trying to 'contact' another through signs on the big board "Mine is the pink one by the bottom!" i.e. to differentiate it from the 1000 other pink notes by the bottom ...

Take a goddam number, or have a station where people can go where they get that number.

Instead of the stupid trying to find your blind-date/fixer in a crowd, they go to a spot where you can find them.

The numbers are up on a screen so you know if you have 10 or 30 minutes to wait and you can tell when you're up.

We figured out lines and numbers maybe 2000 years ago but Mesopotamian technology apparently isn't hipster enough for Cupertino.

Theoretically, that’s how it works in the US, but not in practice.

Years ago, I noticed that my kids’ inner tube had multiple disclaimers, including multiple English disclaimers. The disclaimers next to the Union Flag, Australian Flag, and Canadian Flag were “use under competent supervision.” The disclaimer next to the US Flag was much longer and more detailed (“use under adult supervision” [note that is different from “competent supervision”], “do not tow from boat,” “do not use when drunk,” “do not dive into”, etc.). It did not make me proud to be American.

Additionally, many states have the concept of “joint and several liability,” so that if multiple parties share responsibility for an accident, the victim can collect the full amount from any of them and the perpetrators are expected to pay each other appropriately. The end result is that, generally, the company with the deepest pockets pays the full amount and then hopes to collect from the other parties later.

So, the answer is that you sue the chainsaw manufacturer, the chain manufacturer, the landowner, etc. and hope that they settle or that you get a final judgement that you can collect from the richest one, even if that particular party is held to be, say, 1% responsible.

This is super interesting but if I am looking to bring C++ into my Python code base it would be because performance is important enough to do so. With that in mind I am not sure how this stacks up against compiled half steps like Cython or foreign function interfaces likes ctypes or CFFI instead.
I went in for a battery replacement back in November (Granted this was in the UK not the US).

Booked the appointment online, Went in at the correct time, one of the staff in the store told me "Spoke the people in the back of the store with iPads, they handle genius bar appointments, Spoke to them (took my name), quickly found me in the system and told me they were very busy atm I could wait or rebook (It was lunch time in a city centre), Said I'll wait, Told me to take a seat over there --->, said "tell them to give me a shout as I'm hard of hearing" (Am a little but not too bad, I just wanted to waste my time playing on a mac instead of just sitting at a full table twiddling my thumbs (dead battery on my phone, didn't think about bring my charger with me), told the person "telling the system I'm here" this they laughed and said OK.

10-20ish mins later (Lost track of time, was dicking about on the net), someone shouts my name, got his attention and we went to a quieter table (guess the hard of hearing thing worked :-P). Docked my phone and started running some tests, while running the tests we talked about Work, games (A nice discussion on which was our fav build of Counter Strike).

Yup I needed a new battery, Would take 60-90 mins to replace. Agreed to the repair terms (Yes I took a back up, no I will not sue if you have to wipe my phone, Yes you may claim my first born, etc etc etc). Told them I had ID (They wanted a method to make sure that I was me when picking up my phone, asked "what if I didn't have my ID on me as I don't normally carry it?", said they have other methods they can use like showing the same Credit/Debit Card I used to to book in the job.

Went and got some food, went to visit one of my fav bars in the city centre, went back about 90 mins later and spoke to the same people at the back of the store who had the iPads. They said "all done, someone will be with you soon" 5 mins later I had my phone back with a new battery (showed my id to say I am me).

Apart from the genius bar being busy (Would be nice if I didn't have to wait, but a) I knew I booked a lunch time slot b) I made "plans" not to do anything that afternoon. So not the end of the world for me. But I could see it being a pain in the ass if someone was trying to drop their device off during their lunch break and had to wait around.) I can't say that I had a bad time there.

Store in question if it makes a difference to anyone: New St Apple Store, Birmingham, UK.
So it isn't a case of something being impossible but more of a case that it needs workarounds to make things work with it?
First, cute wordplay but criminals are people, despite your feelings.

Second, in many cases you can _at most_ use the word "suspects" because the people murdered were not in flagrant delict an were not tried and convicted.

Third, all it takes is to read the article to understand the situation. Hyper-scalation of violence has been going on for a long while and this is _not_ a plan to fight crime as much as it is a political reaction of the conservative faction that just won the election with populist claims of "safety through increased state violence". With that knowledge at hand its harder to dismiss the issue as some attempt to push a "liberal agenda" as you tried to do (although the expression and eveb the concept don't translate to Brazil).

I'm sad to have to answer a comment like yours in this forum.

So add a new rule:

Choice-lock. If any player is unable to make a choice for some finite countable number of consecutive turns, they lose.

This could have also prevented combining infinite turn combos with the ante-related cards to produce "I have created a game state where I can take ownership all the cards in your deck, and then win," which was fun to do in the original M:tG PC game, even though running through the combo to actually take all of the cards was a bit tedious.

Visual basic had a Replace() function back in 1998, to replace substrings. C++ now has many amazingly advanced high-level features, but still no built-in way to replace a substring. I don’t think I needed to write my own string replacing function in any other language I used (I’ve been programming for living since 2000).

I like C++ and use it a lot. But these seemingly small issues with its standard library escalate quickly. String handling, IO, localization, date & time, multithreading before C++ 11, many standard collections, and other parts are just not good enough. I pretty much stopped writing complete apps in C++, nowadays I’m using C++ for dll/so components I consume from higher-level languages like C#, Python or golang. And when I do, I often choose to ignore large parts of the standard library in favor of alternatives from atl, eastl, or my own ones.
Ironically, Rio de Janeiro is considered one of the safest capitals in Brazil [1]. The absolute numbers are high, but that's a huge city with millions of habitants.

I lived there for 27 years in favelas like Rocinha and Santa Marta (when I didn't have money), and in apartments in Botafogo and Flamengo (after making money). I walked on the streets midnight and later. Nothing has ever happened to me. I've never even witnessed anything.

Of course, it's my own experience and I have some privileges.

I wouldn’t know, I’ve only gone the one time.

I do expect that they will figure out a reservation system which tracks and queues vehicles en route, like an air traffic controller, to cut down on inefficient ad hoc queueing at the location.

It would be super fun to program such a system, backend and front. Even more so as the cars become increasingly autonomous.

For now at least you can click on the map and see live how many chargers are in use.
That's what systemic racism is: not necessarily a specific animus held by individuals, but an aspect of the structure of society that has effectively racist consequences.
Rome wasn't built in a day. It might be a wretched hive of scum and villany now, but as it gets picked up by more and more people, some of those people won't be quite as extreme as the average. Unless there was someone deliberately banning users who weren't extreme enough, over time the community would inevitably become more moderate (or more likely, shrink and die).

It's practically an axiom - in any community without iron-fisted moderation and gatekeeping, the original hard core will end up complaining about how great it used to be before all the normies invaded.
saying anything your computer can do in such a sentence is misleading. computers are far far away from turing machines these days. they can do much more. for example, good luck making a socket connection on Magic the gathering. even if you can compute everything you need with it, you will never succeed to connect...

In the short term, “judge, jury and executioner” can be a perfectly fine policy because criminals tend to be very obvious in places where law has broken down, at least the violent ones.
