Thanks for the reminder. I have a sprawling mess in my basement and have only done wire lacing once (it's trivial to do well, a little harder to do obnoxiously well) and had forgotten about lacing them -- it's perfect!

I used to work in Telecom and I remember when I first saw a monstrosity of laced wiring. This was at a (staffed) phone switch (raised floor, all hardware and technicians) so there was an amazing amount of wiring and I recall admiring the cleanliness of everything (there's a point at which the various colors of running wire, perfectly laced, is a very interesting piece of modern art). The wires weren't done by an amateur; each cable was lined up -- it looked as though there was a harness specifically designed for the bundles of wires that placed them perfectly parallel (or perpendicular when one ran off of the bundle).

I made an off-hand remark about how long it must have taken to do all of that and was informed from the ops guy that they had just completed it last month. Prior, it had been partially laced, partially tied and generally "clean-but-haphazard", however, the switch had just brought in a new manager and somewhere between his first and second day he went on tear through the switch and demanded it be corrected on the short-order. So over about 8 months, every run was separated and laced[0]. Frankly, I would have been proud if any of my personal equipment were as well maintained as the "before" pictures, but the difference after lacing made the "before" look like spaghetti by comparison.

The benefits are huge, though, for anyone who has encountered a run of wire with heavy-duty zip-ties and a misplaced set of clippers[1]. You can lace wires about as fast as a zip-tie if you're only aiming for "good enough", but you can rip through and redo laced wires with a car key or something that is far less likely to slice a wire.

[0] ...according to the tech, "Twice"; they really didn't like the new manager. I've never seen a lace job this excellent -- it wasn't a bundle of clean wires, it was a perfect rectangle of multiple laced wires laced together with each loop/knot hit with a low-temp heat gun to strengthen the knot (which -- while I can't speak to how much value it really adds strength-wise, it had the effect of making the looped/knotted spots look really straight and clean.

[1] I must own thirty pairs of clippers of various sizes/shapes purchased for the sole purpose of cutting zip ties. I'm sure they're all in a container ... somewhere ... all together. I don't think I've ever had one available to me when I actually need it.

Oh please. If imperialism and military might were the source of a country's wealth, then Mongolia would be on top, and Russia, and the sun would have never set on Great Britain. No, strong property and contract rights combined with the rule of law and relatively low corruption is what made the US wealthy. And, yes, natural resource extraction and up until recently relatively prudent management of its fiscal resources.
That just makes two panes that show the same thing.
Absolutely not. If it were anyone's decision it should be the mother's, and I even find that questionable.

Autism isn't inherently bad, it's just different. There's no duty beyond screenings and providing the knowledge.
Same here, though I really really enjoy living + working alone (5+ years now).

Tip: get a dog. Having a dog forces me to leave the house at least twice a day to go on walks, plus it's a great conversation starter with people around the neighborhood. Dogs are social animals and it's amazing how the simple act of loving and receiving love in return can improve emotional well-being.

One other example of the flaw (I think) that came out in pop culture was a few years ago during the Serial podcast about Adnan Syed.

Near the end when the hosts were wrestling about whether they should think he was guilty, the interviewer's friend (the producer? Dana?) came on and shared why she thought he was guilty, and it was this convoluted argument about if Syed was innocent, he'd have to be the unluckiest guy in the world, so therefore he was probably guilty.

Her point was that it was just too strong a coincidence that it was his ex-girlfriend that got killed, on that particular day during some period of time when he didn't have an alibi, etc etc.

That seemed to me like it could be a bad Bayesian argument - like it would have been a good argument had Serial selected a random citizen to interview, but they selected someone they already knew was connected to the story. Murders happen and by definition the circumstances are always highly unlikely because murders are so rare, and innocent people closely connected to the circumstances of the crime are very, very unlucky by definition. You can't point to that unluckiness as evidence that they're probably guilty.

Rails is modern. People still develop with it. Something like Perl and its frameworks would not be considered modern, probably.
> Or, more properly, they use the 117 matches as a starting point in an investigation to eliminate most of them, i.e., they weren't in the area at the time, and identify the others who were in the area at the time.

Which is how you get false convictions, because you're starting with a list of essentially random people, with no guarantee that the true perpetrator is even on it.

Then you ping cell phone records, and the actual perpetrator left their phone at home because they knew they'd be committing a crime, but one person out of a hundred on your list of random people happened to be in the area at that time, and that combined with what looks like their face on video is enough to convince a jury. Or convince the accused that a jury would be convinced so they'll plead guilty to a crime they didn't commit.

> Or, they just store the info, and when the same petty criminal pops up again with a similar crime, as is often the case, also track the particulars of this one to see if they get a match and add that to the prosecution list.

So you get another video with the same face matching the same hundred odd people, which increases the chances that one of the other random people on the list was in the vicinity of at least one of the crimes while the actual perpetrator always leaves their phone at home, and now the innocent party gets convicted of multiple counts.

> Kind of like cell phone tracking. There's hundreds of phones in the vicinity of any one bank robbery, but when you get one that is in the vicinity of all three, probably a good idea to investigate the owner of that one...

Then it turns out to be the alarm tech or insurance adjuster or regional bank manager responding to the robbery, or some company that always makes deposits on Friday around 3PM which is also when the robbery crew always robs the banks. Which makes it a lot easier to choose any of those parties as a scapegoat if you can't find who really did it.

Computers are really good at finding random coincidences in large data sets. Humans are really bad at not interpreting that kind of noise as signal.
I tried a few times switching to Hyper. Loved the idea, but it's just nowhere near ready. I'm fine trading performance for scriptability / functionality. But spending hours just trying to get Hyper script opening new tabs was an exercise in frustration. And half the plugins I tried didn't work. Ecosystem is pretty messy and features are lacking.

Switching to iTerm2 has been amazing. And with the new design in 3.3, I'm loving it even more.

While anecdotes aren't evidence themselves, they're extremely useful (1) when there aren't scientific studies available and (2) for generating theories that can later be tested. Whether they're interpreted as an invitation for further discussion or unjustified proof depends on how responsible the audience is.

I'm open to all positions or contracts.

I took a break to complete my degree a few years back. I have recently completed a small project, but I do have a coding resume gap after graduation (open to discussion) that I'm looking to close.

My work experience is focused in full stack web development and managing IT infrastructure. I am comfortable outside of this range and have worked on systems ranging from USB duplication automation, warehouse inventory systems, and 'complex' proprietary databases.

I enjoy working independently or with teams, and have experience developing practical solutions to problems. I am capable of quickly learning new tech on my own time, or absorbing knowledge by working with others.

Scroll to the bottom, it says there.
I like the idea.

'Notification' sounds so nice and subtle, but most of the time it is actually an unnecessary diversion, that would be better categorized as an 'interruption'.
Last I checked, Terminal.app doesn't support "TrueColor" (24-bit ANSI color) while iTerm2 does.

Also, iTerm2 is worth it just for the "Copy to pasteboard on selection" option, as well as the corresponding ability to disable "Copied text includes trailing newline", which has saved me plenty of "crap, I didn't mean to run that!" moments.
So I am very curious to try this. But I'm still having trouble grokking what the features are.

If there were a video, that would be really helpful.

I don't want just to add it to my Slack without knowing what's going to happen.

Thx @smt88. You're absolutely right regarding privacy etc. As far as saving a decent dev a minimal amount of time, that is certainly something I am trying to gauge interest on.

You'll blend open-source technology with proprietary hardware to deliver real-time data to customers quickly and efficiently, as well as build a robust interface between our weather stations and the web to ensure not even a single data point is lost. You'll also archive data so that it can be accessed years from now to lay the groundwork for the most detailed weather statistical models ever created.

Your main role responsibilities will include:
• Designing, building, and maintaining a customer-facing API to support applications and customer integrations
• Developing efficient data processing pipelines
• Working with front end and infrastructure teams to make sure data is displayed and accessed correctly and always available

You're exactly what we're looking for if you:
• Have expertise in building production-quality processes and applications

tools (Node.js, Rails, etc.)
• Have experience with relational databases, PostgreSQL preferred
• Have experience with Cassandra
• Are familiar with deployment and maintenance tools such as Salt

Company details:
Understory detects rain, hail, wind, and other weather events where the risk to life and property is the greatest – directly at the earth’s surface. Understory's ground-truth detection provides weather data that leads the industry in resolution and fidelity, which has tremendous potential value and application throughout the country as $485 billion of the U.S. economy fluctuates with weather, touching industries such as insurance, agriculture, and broadcast.

Currently, Understory is an early-stage company consisting of twenty awesome team members and is venture backed by $20M+ in financing. Our team works hard, but also makes time for team and family fun!

This is a good question. All I can speak from is the experience of my own family. We don't watch TV that includes ads. We don't really watch any TV shows that would include product placements. All of our browsers have multiple ad blockers running (First Party Isolation, Change Geolocation, AdNaseum, Ghostery, and Ad Block Plus), so very few ads in browsers. We don't have any magazine subscriptions. Where we live there are very few billboards or other road side advertisements. I'm sure they are exposed to ads, I'm just not sure from where.

People who are buying houses with 3% down payments are unlikely to be able to buy a house for cash for 3% of current prices. That's the sense in which they may be shut out of home ownership.

One of the most consistent and reliable means to lift oneself from the low end of middle class to squarely middle class has been the leveraged purchasing of property in a city that continues to grow. Taking a 3% or 5% downpayment and having housing appreciate at inflation or slightly higher than inflation is a tremendous wealth creator when that equity is created with leverage.
Thanks, @mtmail, absolutely, I fell flat as mentioned about as it relates to detailing security of the information and privacy. If there is an interest in this service that is something I will certainly need to explain better. Thanks.
I have heard of it being bunkum, but not quite of the same ~caliber~ as fiber matching and bite-mark matching.

It can, at best, match ammo from the same machine-manufactured batch to a factory-stock model of gun. It automatically fails on hand-load cartridges, or ammo that the analyst cannot readily source.

When there is a match, the prosecutor might say "this bullet was fired from this gun", but the science says "a bullet similar to the one in evidence was marked and deformed in a similar fashion, when fired by the weapon in evidence (just as it would with every other factory-stock copy of this model of gun)".

It's like matching a nail to the hammer that drove it. If the test nail is already different from the reference nail, you cannot match it. If you have two or more identical hammers, you can't tell which one drove the nail. The hammer factory made thousands of identical hammers.

In most cases, the tests are likely saying "the most commonly sold type of ammunition was fired from the most popular model of gun of that caliber". It's the sort of thing that should probably be used exclusively as exculpatory evidence. I.e. this model of gun always leaves distinctive markings, such as from an off-center diamond-shaped firing pin, or from an uncommon rifling twist, that were not found on the bullets in evidence, so the gun in evidence could not have fired them. Otherwise, a gun substantially similar, with all the same machine-made parts, could leave the same marks, so you could never know for sure which one fired the bullets.

The only time it would be useful to convict is if someone used a unique, hand-made, gunsmithed gun to fire factory-made ammunition. And the number of (violent) crimes committed with that type of display-piece gun approaches zero, because they tend to be both expensive and less fit for use as a weapon than cheaper factory-built guns.

I dont think its this at all. What happened is the processors became fast enough. Each year the processors were "twice as fast" as the year before. Somewhere around the A10 there were diminishing returns, where being twice as fast wasnt useful anymore. Much like laptops, once they got fast enough, energy efficiency became the most important metric.
