> Edit: especially in a jury-based system it seems like it doesn't matter whether you're guilty or not, but whether the jury believes your story.

The US is not a jury-based system, but a plea-bargain-based system. Over over 94% of cases never go in front of a jury. [1] And while theoretically you can insist on your case going to trial, a few things will happen to you:

1. Your public defender will do everything possible to discourage you, because they don't have the resources to take you to trial.

2. As a consequence of not having resources, they will in fact be correct in discouraging you.

3. The prosecutor will charge you with far more counts, and a potential sentence that is much higher than what you'll get in a plea deal.

Note that the extra counts don't need to be provable. What they do is two things:

1. Add to your defense burden.

2. Put intense psychological pressure ("If I take this felony deal I get five years, but I might get TWENTY FIVE if I take this to trial and lose.")

If you can afford a good lawyer, the plea deal calculus works better, of course, since you now have a credible threat of taking a bad case to court and demolishing the prosecutor.

IANAL, but boy, do I have some expensive legal services to sell to you!

Snark aside, anyone can charge an arm and a leg. The question is, how do you find someone who isn't just charging a high hourly rate, but is charging it because he or she is very good.
Exactly.

20 years ago not many in Spain and France ( or even Germany ) would speak any English. May be they do, but may be they were too afraid, or refuse to speak as in the case of French.

20 years later literally everybody in ( Western ) Europe speaks English. I could go on the street and ask for directions, in places that are not cities or tourist attraction. Even the French. They may not be proficient at it, but they do understand and can do basic communication.

So I dont see any decline. And Thinking back I am surprised at how fast the world has evolved! ( Which also means I am getting old .... )

Hey it's me your friend
I don't know if I would consider languages as having bubbles.

I am interested in learning Julia, but most languages that have succeeded have been C like in syntax to allow the greatest migration of programmers I believe (this does not mean that there are not successful non-C languages just that there is a large system of C languages that seem to get picked up over the years)

I think this is because some people think jumping between languages with similar syntax is easier than completely different syntax, so that is a built in base willing to jump if you provide them what they need, and a built in base resistant to jumping if you don't provide.
I think of CRA as a cost of doing business in today's web apps, just like the cost of doing Android dev is to download Android Studio and let it install bazillion GBs of stuff; the cost of doing iOS dev is to buy a Mac, install Xcode and pay Apple an annual $99; etc.

Except the Apple tax, you can always work around those costs: for example, build Android apps with no IDE and no simulator and writing your own makefiles from scratch. But that doesn't really make any sense if your development work is any sort of business. If your hobby is toolchain configuration, then go for it. CRA feels the same to me.
You always have to look at what the incentives are.

For example, forensic labs are paid by the prosecution. They really need to be funded by a separate organization.
> The first part is about how an individual that knows that they are innocent should not expect that to count for anything in the eyes of others. The second part is to ensure that he doesn't waste his time on people that are really guilty because in the end that will go nowhere.

Again, I think this is inconsistent. The original comment author is bound to be one of those third parties where objective innocence does not matter.

But if it "will go nowhere" as soon as objective innocence isn't a given, it does apparently matter.

Now does it, or doesn't it matter?
It is a different language, notably it's a northern Germanic language so the compatibility is fairly high. It also isn't mutually intelligible with English at all. I should maybe just say it's Swedish.
Thats an absolutely terrible and ignorant and draconian policy.
> Is it, the minute it (CRA) can't do what you need, you have to eject?

I don't think there's that many uses cases that can't be done within CRA. I think there's very limited reasons to eject.
Ah maybe not, the wikipedia page I link to is titled 'Right to silence in England and Wales' implying things are different in Scotland. I'll edit my post.
That would cost a lot of money.

> When you're innocent you think that your innocence means something. It doesn't. Discount it and move on.

Exactly, thinking your innocent is going to have you saying WAAAAY MORE THAN YOU SHOULD

stuff you are desperate to say thinking everyone's going to "be cool and understanding"

What really happens is that you say a tiny thing with a little inconsistency and it undermines your whole defense. Officers will misremember, prosecutors will misconstrue.

Shut.the.fuck.up.

Your reputation doesn't come back. Half of the population has already made up their mind. Forget about it. You need the case to be weak, and if it continues to court you need the jury to stick with the instructions and not be able to convict.
That's what I was thinking as well. It maybe solar radiation or some other stuff we haven't yet identified or hardly created an understanding of how they affect cancer cells. Overall it's exciting stuff :)

> It seems that wedding photographers keep the copyright so that they can reproduce them for self-promotion and advertising

That's probably not the main reason, since many other artists are able to use their work-for-hire in self promotion. All they'd need is an appropriate usage license, not copyright ownership.

More likely, when wedding photographers try to keep the copyright, they are hoping to charge separately for additional prints or DVDs, control which print shop reproduces their work, enforce the presence of their watermarks, or relicense the images as stock photography. These are all additional revenue and advertising streams that would not be available if the customer held the copyright.

When support staff is unhelpful, it's always a good idea to request to be forwarded to a higher tier of support staff. I was once stuck in a dead-end 10+ email thread with the basic support, when the upper tier support fixed the issue immediately.
Ah, thanks for explaining the (possible/likely) origin!
It's a shame that it is practically impossible to culture healthy cells the way they probably cultured these cancer cells so there is not really a control experiment.

But we know people (bags of healthy cell in their normal environment) don't die in space and cancer cells (presumably they did the same experiment on earth) keep growing in normal gravity. So what we can say is that the combination of loosing their normal environment and gravity kills these cancer cells (if they used cell lines those cells are hardly comparable to normal cancer cells anymore by the way). It's interesting to find out why, but it's a long way from saying that this finding will help cure cancer.

The ISS is continuously crewed since 19 years now. It could use a larger crew to conduct more experiments in my opinion since maintenance is taking up most of the time of the astronauts there.

Uh, no. I think you are distracting attention away from the topic of conversation.

Pierce Brosnan's face is highly recognizable, with a large quantity of reference material that aids the viewer in understanding that the stylized, high contrast photo is that of James Bond (the main character of the game) pointing a silenced pistol at the camera, both in the spirit of a multi-player first person shooter, and in the spirit of the movie and book franchise.

It is obviously his hand wrapped around the pistol grip of the gun he's holding.

There is no uncanney valley depicted in the graphic elements of the box art. It's not some grotesque, warped, surreal, dead-eyed robotic puppet masquerading as human.

It's black and white photos of recognizable performers posing for the camera.

If anything, noticing the odd juxtaposition of the clasped hand of James Bond as anything other than a hand would represent exactly the kind of error that machine learning and neural networks are incapable of correcting for on their own. This deficiency is exactly what leads to the production of uncanney valley results, in that a computer can't control for differentiable concepts like James Bond weilding a pistol.
The fact that the legal system can work correctly only if you throw enough money into it, that's scary. Is it a good thing that only wealthy persons can afford a correct legal treatment? Not seems to be in a free and open society the US claims to have.
From the start of the AMA: "the public defender ... didn’t have time or the resources to prove my innocence". The defence isn't supposed to have to prove anything, that's the job of the prosecution - but what surprises me even more is that no-one seems to have picked up on that point. Suggestion for US readers - it's not a justice system if it imprisons innocence people at an overly high rate.
Yes, I'm puzzled by your posts in this thread. It looks like you are alternating beween pushing a Nirvana-fallacy strawman (where "secure" is a binary variable and everything not perfectly secure is trash) and treating "secure" as a spectrum...

One can't defend against unknown unknown, but mitigating known issues (input validation) and delegating to tools that know better than you (rustc) are both valid strategies to produce software that is more secure upfront (and I know you know it, eh)...
I agree, word and powerpoint would gain a lot from having a side by side markup/WYSIWYG experience. My definition of good is the visual studio wpf editor where you can entirely live in markup or UI or do both at the same time.

But the reality is that outside of making office run on other platforms, there has been near zero innovation from Microsoft.
Though I'm willing to agree with this as a general idea, I would be cautious to state it as a fact.

I've encountered many Flemish Belgians who openly admit they can understand English but cannot speak it well. A member of my close familiy who works in aviation occasionally rants about "having to do everything in English", a position that I cannot begin to understand.
Whereas I've worked for a Flemish Belgian company that also had Walloon Belgian customers who communicated not stubbornly in French (as the stereotype would suggest) but in professional English.

I believe that the language learning is affected by the generations. There has been a disregard, acceptance and now (what I believe) a new disregard of foreign languages in Flanders. Though I do not have any numbers to back that up. That said the news recently reported an all-time low for Flemish Belgian students with regard to reading and sciences (https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/en/2019/12/03/_dutch-is-the-key-to...). So there might be a correlation between the two subjects.

It would be very interesting to have data on this subject as Belgium indeed is a great place to study this phenomenon.
Where’s the second one? I see one mouth and a fist (holding the gun) in front of it.
We are the same company/team, and our goal is to help creators get paid for their work. With Brew, we focused on audio creators. Everything we built so far revolved around this vision :)

Julia has carved out a place for itself. It is a new language that has come a long way in the last seven or so years.

It seems to be a natural successor to Fortran for scientific computing and with a growing list of libraries, a good fit for data science and other related disciplines.
Geez, doesn’t sound at all pleasant. Out of interest is the air noticeable different to smell and does it cause hay fever / asthma like symptoms?
The theory is two sides produce the absolute most convincing argument they can, and an independent arbiter - the jury - decides between the two arguments. As both sides can freely choose their representatives, they can change if their guy isn't doing a good job. And as the jury has heard the strongest possible arguments, they've heard all the information the two sides believe they need.

If you're accused of being gay in 1880, a randomly selected truth-seeking arbiter might be very anti-gay as that was the median opinion in society at the time - or even subject to political pressure. Only by having free choice of who represents you can you get someone who isn't biased against you.

Of course, that's only the theory. How well it works in practice, particularly with under-funded public defenders, is a different matter!

> 3. Never ever ever ever talk to the cops. Retain your right for silence. It's the greatest gift you have. The cops don't want to sort anything out, they aren't on your side. They want to nail you. That's all they care about. They have a job to do. That job is to find someone to blame for this problem. So they're gonna do that. Don't help them do that. Save your ammunition for trial. My jury ended up laughing at the prosecutor and the investigating officer in the trial.

That's the same advice usually given here when someone is asking how to deal with HR.

I've been finding that I go outside the base config quite quickly.

I think I also find the general attitude of the community ("it's all modular!") to be disingenuous. Just bundle all this stuff into a monoremp massive npm package and be done with it, ala rails.

I think programmers should be trusted to write code as text, but the IDE should in some way help visualise how data flows through the system.

Total commander is a great successor I think. Once you get used to 2-pane logic, the efficiency boost with anything file-related is really huge. It is fast and has so many features - tabbed panes, quick recursive file content search, very nice comparison of 2 files, folders synchronization, built-in navigation in archives (I often edit files directly in packages, it recompresses them automatically) and archives within archives, great network/FTP browser and many more... it really packs few tens of great tools into one neat package.

One of many detractors from Linux in the past from me - whenever I tried any equivalent there, it was very slow, featureless, crashing etc. I hope these days the situation is better.

Whenever I look at any other colleague, who use that primitive File explorer or equivalent, how clunky and slow work it is, its sad that people don't do this one-time effort to transition to the tool which is so vastly better.

Meanwhile, Buy Me A Coffee started getting a decent amount of traction even among podcasters, so we wanted to go all in and build it out :)

Good lawyers are expensive, but e.g in Norway for example there are no dedicated public defenders - the state pays private criminal defense lawyers. Not everyone will sign up to it, but most high profile defence lawyers have, as the rates are generous enough.

I refused military service (Norway has compulsory conscription for men) , and when the DOJ sued to get a declarative judgement that I was not entitled to do so, I got one of the best lawyers in the country appointed for free.

The system still has lots of issues, but that part for the most part works very well in avoiding the issue of the prosecutors being able to bully people into submission.

The lack of plea bargaining also helps, but that is contingent of first having good enough provisions for public defence.
The other question to ask yourself is if you want the dependency as a visible external thing, or do you want it cut & pasted into your code?

Just saying that "Dependencies are bad" means people are more likely to cut and paste that algorithm or bit of code into your application rather than taking it from some sort of package. In this sense you also do not know that it is a dependency, and you do not get any updates or bug fixes for it either.

Have to be careful about those unintended consequences there.
