The constitution doesn't specifically address no-knock warrants, other than by incorporating practice at the time of the founding. Therefore, there are no consitutionally sound arguments for or against them.

I think no-knock warrants should be abandoned, because they are dangerous and of limited value, but neither of those reasons are constitutional arguments.
I would previously really push hard on exercise looking for some magic result, and I found it made my concentration worse because my body is trying to recover from the previous day's workout. It's good for stress relief though. Just find the right amount for your body, it will be more than zero but less than some threshold.
This is awesome and has got a few ideas flowing already (and a few terms to google). Not only are the simulations faster, i can mess around with them whenever i feel like it. Setting up the 'real deal' is a weekend affair. Fidelity of any simulation i put together will be very questionable for a while but at least it can help me understand how the parameters affect the response.

I really appreciate it! Thanks!

What I dislike about Ting is that as soon as you rack up even 1 text message (which you are bound to, by annoying text message services who spam you), they charge you the next tier. The worry about hitting the next tier (voice, data, text) was very annoying and I abandoned them.
Posts like this remind me of the differences between cell phone data markets relative to your country. I pay €15.99 a month for my cell plan (discounted from €19.99 because the same providor does my home internet/cable TV/home phone bundle) [0]. That gets me 100GB of data, unlimited texting, free calls and texts to much of the world, and the same deal should I roam in many countries, including those closest to home where I am most likely to travel pre- and post-COVID19.

I’m sure it has something to do with the competition, the density of the population and the impact of that on infrastructure, and the government financial support for communication infrastructure rollout. Probably more complex than that, but at €15 a month it’s nowhere near the top of a list of expenses to cut right now.

I don't think that article can be classified as hate speech using any reasonable definition. What I get from it is a disdain toward men for their behavior, particularly as it pertains to power and violence in a particular social/political context. I don't read it as, "I hate you because you have a penis," although there are certainly people who think that way (a very small minority as far as I can tell). As a person with a penis, I certainly don't get a feeling of personal animus from the article nor am I threatened by it.

I have no knowledge of IP law and maybe I misunderstood the article, but how do companies like ARM, who license there designs to other chip companies, protect their designs from being copied? What's stopping the licensee from seeing the "publication" (as per the article) of the design, manufacturing the chip themselves, and not renewing the license/ needing the license in the future?
> "This kills the economy. If everyone saves then by definition spend goes down. And spend is what pays everyone, the cycle goes broken and and next year pay decrease. and if you keep saving, it keeps going down, until everybody is on survival mode and nothing else is consumed."

no, it doesn't just break, the economy readjusts. there's a practical lower bound to trade and consumption (we need food, clothes, shelter, energy, water, etc.) and prices for essentials would likely rise relative to non-essentials, as demand shifts around the economy and supply adjusts to match it. labor prices likely dip, as do capital returns, during the transition period. permanent savings would lower monetary throughput, but not necessarily velocity.

A tip for those who might buy in to the "write tasks down in a place you trust" from the "Getting things done"-system, but who feel the todo-list becomes overwhelming, I highly recommend the tool Todoist.

https://todoist.com/

It is a todo-list, where the default view only shows tasks that are due TODAY. You can also create views (aka. filters), like a "WORK" view where you only see work tasks etc.

This means you are much less likely to be overwhelmed by the amount of tasks on your list.

So if I need to remember to pay a certain invoice next week, I will make myself a task for next week - and since I trust the system, that is now cleared from my mind - and will re-appear next week - when I need to action it. If I put it in the calendar and ot NOT action it - it is lost. If it is in Todoist, it does not disappear until I say it is done.

It means I end most days with an empty todo-list.

Todoist took my using a todo-list from not really working - to a very integrated and trusted part of how I do everything.

(I don't have any association with Todoist - I have just been a very happy user for ~4 years. I hope others will benefit as well.)

A job is a contract. If you don’t want the contract to be used that way, don’t write it that way. I don’t feel bad towards my employees or coworkers who wait to give notice until shortly after annual bonuses are given out. My previous boss encouraged me to stick out my job another couple weeks until the next stock vesting date.

As long as both sides sign the job contract willingly, without a severe imbalance of power, it’s not abuse. It’s business.

Not really covid-related, but switched to Mint Mobile last fall and have been pretty happy with it. $20/month for 8GB I think (I’ve never run against the limit so I’m not sure off the top of my head). I’m in NYC and rarely leave the city, so I can’t speak to consistency of coverage in other areas, but I’ve never had any problems. The only real complaint I have is that their international coverage is unusably bad. It’s pre-paid, and pay by the MB So manages to be prohibitively expensive and also unreliable. I normally just pick up a cheap temp SIM card when I arrive in a country, but I understand that some people this is too big an inconvenience, or not a possibility.

I'd agree that Swing feels heavy... but Electron feels an order of magnitude heavier.

Though, when done right, it feels fairly close to native. I earn my pay working with IDEA and if you turn off the plugins you don't need its actually quite snappy where you would reasonably expect it to be. I would bet it takes far less optimization to get there than an equivalent Electron application
> A kidnapping/hostage situation, for instance.

A situation like that probably doesn't require a warrant because it probably falls under the "hot pursuit" exception.
What about the patriot act that they just reauthorized?
Mint Mobile (a T-Mobile MVNO) has unlimited talk & text with 3GB data (and unlimited throttled data after that) for $15/mo. (I'm not affilliated, just a happy user -- if you want a $15 credit, DM me for a referral code.)
My whole family is on TracFone. They're 15 bucks a month. I suppose we could get it cheaper, but it's worked for us, for a long time. When the lockdown began, I ordered new Internet-only service for the family, and we're going to finally ditch our land line.
If Xfinity Mobile is an option for you, and you're already an Xfinity customer (if not, there's a $10 fee I think), you can get service for $15, if you have a supported phone (iPhone, Galaxy, or Pixel; they also sell phones by standard lease plans, but I assume that would defeat the purpose). They only bill for data. They're on the Verizon network; I switched from Verizon to them for a while. The service was good, but I needed the unlimited data that Verizon provides, and apparently Verizon speed caps their MVNOs, as the speed on the same phone was substantially less. (I still have a backup phone on Xfinity: it (Galaxy Note 10) speed tested at around 4Mbps; my Verizon iPhone XS Max was 15-30Mbps.)
The performance I'm talking about is stuff like code analysis chugging and stalling the editor so I don't understand how your link is contradicting anything from my post.

Lint/hints taking forever to update after code editing, autocomplete popup takes a second to show, etc. This depends on codebase naturally but in my experience for the cases where VS Code works well (mostly typescript) on the same codebase and same PC it's much more responsive than IDEA tools or Visual Studio (and I'm running this on a i9 MBP with 32GB ram so not a weak HW thing).

I type on a 60hz monitor and I'm not particularly sensitive to that kind of latency (this is where I consider VS Code good enough)
I mean what about kidnapping / hostage situation.

Is this more about exercising judgement?

> No one is obligated to provide you with content on your terms, other than the government.

Where does that law / moral come from?
"No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law"

I would argue that police officers transition into soldiers of the state when they hold what soldiers hold (bullet proof vests, flash grenades, automatic machine guns) and arrive in vehicles soldiers arrive in (MRAPs and other APCs). No-knock warrants are essentially the government choosing to "quarter" soldiers inside of some random person's house without their consent, for an unlimited amount of time.

Of course, the Constitution doesn't specify what the difference between a police officer and a soldier is, which I think is an important argument for the Supreme Court to hear anyways. A lot of what the police are (unfairly) allowed to do today stems from this blurred line. In most cases, soldiers are constrained even more than police are (i.e. Rules of Engagement).
It’s perhaps due to my subconscious dislike of Electron that I read the title as “Electron 0.9” and for a brief moment wondered what a 1.0 release would look like.

On performance, the release notes state that there’s an improvement on Linux (I don’t understand the nuances of that). Are there any contenders to Electron (upcoming or available) that focus on better power consumption and lower memory usage?
With semantic versioning, you can tell the magnitude of the release (and if backwards compatibility is broken) by looking at the major version number.

Side note, I can get faint hints of how this topic relates to Retool (eg, the GDS CLI is not a good internal tool), but it's pretty rare in my experience for a corporate blog to not try to shoehorn its own solution into the picture, and there's literally no mention of Retool in here.

Recently I decided to build the next version of my website by going back to the basics. http://kyle.simukka.com

Still unsure of what the content and goals are, but it has been a lot of fun to work on a very simple website.
I eventually added an editor that displays the html source in a textarea. Above it is a field with the file name, below is the submit button and a password field. (There also is a cookie req that I make manually and it does some IP checks when trying to save.)

After submitting it checks if there are links pointing at the (new) page. If those are missing the "success!" page gets a link pointing back at the editor with the index appended to it as the query string, the url that must be added and the page title. (the substring between <title> and </title>)

When clicked it loads the index into the editor and inserts a link into the html (so that I can move it around or type text around it)

That same functionality is reused by a bookmarklet to insert www links into pages. (it also inserts highlighted text from pages)

Except the save page everything is still static html.
That's actually a great deal for most people, and I'm really glad to see them finally matching their better MVNO prices.

However, it's worth noting that at least from what I can tell it doesn't include Canada/Mexico coverage, as well as the limited free data in most other countries, that most of their other plans include. That has often proved beneficial to my family (who travels internationally with some regularity), especially as buying a SIM card in most countries is increasingly difficult.
IIRC, the police officers wore plainsclothes, and did not announce themselves.

They arrested the murdered woman's boyfriend for his self defense of armed intrusion.

The person they were serving the warrant on was already in custody.

Clearly these cops are criminals. There's nothing else that can explain the circumstances here.

This:

means it's defining a function pointer that can point to a function that returns the type int and has a matching parameter list.

Read up on the reporting from Radley Balko, for Cato Institute, Reason, and the Washington Post more recently. His work on kicking down every possible justification for no-knock warrants and militarized civilian police forces is the best out there. I believe he also authored a book on the topic.

The whole police immunity for murder and violence needs to stop. If a civilian did something similar even if under worse conditions they would be treated horribly by the cops and be put to jail under shitty conditions for years. A policeman can easily say "I was worried for my life!" when shooting an unarmed person but a civilians can't say the same thing if they shoot a cop that invaded their house, or even another civilian.

Hell, the police can even demolish your house during an investigation and they don't have to pay anything for it. https://www.denverpost.com/2019/10/30/swat-team-destroyed-gr...
"In no case does copyright protection for an original work of authorship extend to any idea, procedure, process, system, method of operation, concept, principle, or discovery, regardless of the form in which it is described, explained, illustrated, or embodied in such work."

This seems relatively straightforward and while I understand the law is properly understood by understanding a large body of law and legal opinions on the interactions of same I see no particular reason to disbelieve it.

In particular nobody is obliged to accept an obviously absurd interpretation of the law because it would seem to follow from an exact reading of the law. It's not math nor a computer program interpreted in the minds of judges. Case in point the above argument on the "schematics" of a book.

This doesn't work because judges aren't robots and would laugh it out of a court room. The same way we should laugh new innovative interpretations of copyright out of the world stage.

Lets ask a deeper question. Why WOULD it be a good thing if copyright applied to machines? Copyright for all intents and purposes will probably never be allowed to lapse in reality. As it stands the people that end up owning everything else would end up being the people that own the ability to move forward under each and eventually every industry ad infinitum as they bought up basic rights in a given industry not for a finite amount of time but forever.

In short we are already in what must be nearly the most ridiculous time line possible. Lets not make it worse.
You're just using the channel as a future.

None of this is really problematic at the top level view of things. But when you need to compose libraries or applications that make use of these things - yes, even channels in Go - you can start running into problems.

Especially if you don't actually control the process you're running in. This is why promises and async/await really exist. E.g. if you have code you need to fork off the main UI thread so you don't block it, but need to re-capture the UI thread so you can call UI update code when you're done with your long running task. async/await is so much cleaner here.

Async/await allow for much more complex control of flow than simple goroutines and channels. Sometimes it's necessary. Sometimes it isn't. It was necessary in nodejs. It's extremely useful in applications where you have a "main thread" that drives your application that you don't want to unnecessarily block. Go doesn't solve this problem out-the-box. There's a reason why c# adopted async/await despite having futures and all sorts of other tools.
Is there a good constitutional argument against no-knock warrants? Constitution says no unreasonable searches or seizure without a warrant. With no-knock warrants, there is warrant, so it isn't a constitutional issue. Just ban them. Everything doesn't have to be a foundational constitutional issue.

Constitutional law, like any ancient code base, has picked up some serious cruft. It is impossible to divine from the text what it means.

Legal scholars don't even agree about basic questions like "can a professor publish a paper that lacks citations to relevant work, without violating securities law?" [1]. The odds of getting useful conlaw analysis on HN are nill.

That being said, we shouldn't always be looking to the COTUS to save us. Congress exists to make laws. If we want this practice banned, we need to enact a law to ban it.
