your link doesn't even suggest what you're suggesting.

"The notice asked activists to “bring your friends, bring your crew and come prepared to disrupt the nightmare that is Trump,” while the site predicted “thousands” would show up “in opposition to Trump and his world.”"

Yes, that's called protesting. There's a twitter account encouraging protesting. What are you talking about?
No link to any tutorial, it's just how I've always coded and found myself to be the most productive and produce the least bugs. A brief description is:

1. Open up the Python interpreter (highly recommend installing iPython in your project venv so you can use it as the default interpreter in Pycharm)

2. Setup toy data to prototype the thing you are trying to do (or just load in some data or a pickled file, etc.)

3. Start prototyping the functionality of your code one step at a time. If things need to be in a loop in your main script: eg: `for thing in things:` , I just set `thing = things[0]` in the REPL and then continue prototyping the logic of what goes in the inner loop.

4. Use the variable viewer, printing variables in the REPL, etc to make sure things are doing what you want

5. As sequences of statements are verified as doing what you want, you just "graduate" them to your script so you in effect know that they are somewhat tested and do what you wanted

6. Get to a point where you get the right result you were looking for

7. Now set `thing = things[4]` or some other edge-case and just run it a few times to make sure you still get the right result.

8. You're good to go. Wrap up the code in whatever function or class and you are ready to give it a shot for real

This sounds like more work, but it is super easy to execute code in the interpreter that you have in your editor (select code in script window, ALT + Shift + E to execute in interpreter)

Now the thing people might say is - Well, it is hard to always setup stuff with toy data, and that's true. In that case, you just set a debugger at the point where you would be writing your new function/method, and when you pause there, launch the interactive python interpretter within the debugger and you can start prototyping code from scratch in exactly the same way above, but in the debugger, with actual data you care about.

I find that you eliminate all the dumb/idiotic bugs in code this way and the only ones that I need to actually debug at times are certain edge cases I did not account for at the time of prototyping.
What kind of liability are you looking to limit? Would something like errors and omissions insurance or some other policy provide enough protection, at least to get you started?
My understanding as well. The image, though, doesn't convey sea level dipping for many kilometers around former glacier edge and rising only further away (possibly in another hemisphere entirely)—instead it shows sea level rising immediately at the edge, which doesn't seem to track.
This is a very hard problem and thinking a product could do this without extremely high error rates is naive.

Any implementation should use this as a supplement only, not replacement for humans. For example a human watching 10 checkouts and quickly manually reviewing scenes flagged as suspicious. Any implementation should also account for the fact that loss will still occur and account for that in the RoI.

The fact that the technology is very error prone is not surprising (to anyone that actually builds AI tech). The issue here sounds like poor implementation and unrealistic expectations from management on what AI truly can and can’t do.
Why in the world? You'll have no trouble finding videos of police blatantly misusing them in broad daylight. There are no consequences because... there are no consequences. Why would serializing rubber bullets help? Are we going to collect handfuls of them off the ground and then conjecture as to which officer fired which bullet?
I think a lot of people agree. And a lot of other people are pissed off about Firefox following Chrome's lead in stripping everything down visually.

There's a solution, though -- as it happens, I happen to have the best opinion on this. Like, always the best. So really the Firefox designers should just ask me. I would think they would appreciate being able to confidently say that they're always doing the right thing?
Your tone is unwarranted.

I did not dismiss anything. Nor did I ask you to remove any information. I merely wished you'd organize it in a better way.

The better way IMHO is to emphasize the structural economical/sociological/technical reasons. Why? Because even fixing all the small technical bugs in that long list would help only for a little while.

For example, if Linux Desktop somehow got to magically all items fixed case, it is way underfunded. So it will either stagnate in place or try to innovate and introduce new bugs... On the other hand, find a workable revenue model, and then devs would be paid to fix bugs, and that would be sustainable.

Another example, fixing current NVidia incompatibilities would help, but the unstable Linux ABI/API would remain, and that would cause issues in the future with any other future NVidia or other manufacturer which balk at putting their code under OSS. This issue needs a decision which balances all the competing interests.
> what will happen with the archived data (wayback and user-submitted material)

Presumably, they legally hold those data. As such, it could be purchased by a new organization out of bankruptcy (assuming IA loses and goes into liquidation versus restructuring).
I have been thinking: there's a real opportunity to disrupt FaceBook, from the political side. It could gain traction in a way, and for a reason, among large groups of people who otherwise won't give a damn ('FaceBook competitor', yawn).

I think a billboard and an advertising blitz that really put in people's faces, especially in the large blue cities that red staters hate so much, something like: Did you know that, when you're on FaceBook, you're giving money to the ad platform that elected Donald Trump? (*asterisk to Atlantic article here with quote to that effect) Join SocialBook to learn more.

Then you could explain that there's a kind of default understanding that FaceBook is 'neutral,' but it's probably more accurate to think of FaceBook as an analogue, a cousin even, to Fox News. Its most popular site for engagement is Breitbart. As people have noted online, by various metrics, it favors Trump. And whether you agree or not, we are under no moral compulsion at all - none whatsoever - to support FaceBook. Not using it is, at worst, morally neutral.

So if you oppose FaceBook's general effect on our society, why not do something that costs you no money and requires no real lifestyle change, but can radically improve your society's politics? Join SocialBook and get your friends too also, and as a principled stand, delete FaceBook. If nothing else, you'll start exerting some powerful pressure on FaceBook to change its policies in a direction it usually ignores, or else. And at best, you could help launch a powerful, healthy competitor.

I should point out also: I don't see anything morally wrong in advocating for this. I do feel a duty to support people working towards building in general, and the economy in general. But do I have a specific moral duty to support FaceBook? Of course not. I think there are people here who object to people making commercial decisions for political reasons - but there's no moral imperative supporting this. For what it's worth, I don't see other companies taking this angle (say, Gab) as being in the wrong for that reason, either.
Walmart's in-store revenue has been growing at a steady clip.
> But by allowing the rump to be violent

Expecting the protesters to somehow control everyone in the protest, when the cops fire indiscriminately on people whether they're peaceful or otherwise, doesn't seem like a working system.
Gloomhaven is actually pretty straightforward. My group played about three games before everything clicked — BUT, those first three games were a ton of fun and still “worked” even though in hindsight we weren’t following all the rules correctly. It does have too many parts, but there’s an app available (gloomhaven helper) which replaces 2/3 of the parts and makes the game very much easier and more fun.
Powershell has been growing on me lately. It uses objects to pass data around and it's quite nice.
Where can you get a similar device and form factor for 1/3 the price?
Hollow points are primarily used by the police for their penetration (or lack thereof)—not their stopping power. As you note in your parenthetical, this would entirely negate that.

That being said, there has been a lot of evidence that shows that HP rounds penetrate further than conventional wisdom would expect, and it likely gives LEOs a false sense of security when firing in an apartment complex or into crowds.
Hold the phone, you mean they didn't try hugs and kisses first?
I agree completely. I used to use Slack, and a lot of the integrations that I had, I had to pay money for. I think that by incorporating native-functionality, users can minimize the time wasted switching between apps, and save money.
> Or I guess they expect me to buy Bluetooth heaphones

...which adds another source of frustration to the setup - bluetooth latency. At some point I've tried setup like this: midi keyboard -> USB dongle -> iPad -> bluetooth speaker; the latency sucked. Not something you observe when you listen to music on Youtube, so not something that 99% users will notice, which means it will never get fixed.

> Whom? Well, the greatest number of people possible. All time frames. All scopes. You philosophers always trying to confuse the simple.

Your philosophy is literally dependent on information that’s impossible to know which is a real limitation. In the real world we can estimate harms and benefits, but it’s the unknown factor which makes sacrificing someone ‘for the greater good’ so abhorrent.

If the rule is to minimize total probable harm, then you need to consider second order effects of choices. You further need to carefully consider/model repercussions rather than assuming each choice has obvious costs. Simply shooting infected people may reduce the risks of spreading a plague in the short term, but it’s got huge long term issues as people then try and hide their infection etc.
My Thinkpad X1 Carbon 7th Generation with a FHD screen lasts about 3.5-4 hours under heavy load and about 10-11 hours doing casual web-browsing etc on Ubuntu 20.04. On Windows, it should be better. But if you go with the 4K screen, you'll only get half the battery life.

Is there a way to cut the archive down to a manageable yet relevant subset based on one's interests? Say, "I have 500GB free space and I care about mathematics, what do I take from the archive"? Because 50000TB is too much for crowdsourcing, particularly if it's supposed to be crowd-served rather than just crowd-hoarded. I would guess a high percentage of that is video, which perhaps should never have been part of the archive to begin with due to its signal-to-noise rate.
Agreed. I've been trying to figure out what to give my son as a first computer. This would be a neat option.

If he wants to watch videos on youtube, he is going to have to code himself a browser first.
> Twitter can do what they want in terms of their platform. So can FB. Why do people find it so offensive?

You're right, it's "their platform", but, a significant fraction of all human beings are "in" this platform. That's a staggering amount of power in the hands of very few people with virtually no accountability. This is without precedent.

It becomes offensive when the same machinery used for advertising and marketing can just as easily be used by third parties (FB's actual customers) who want to spread disinformation, propaganda or exercise control in some way.
Anecdotal: The on-ramp to Gloomhaven is quite smooth, compared even to many "simpler" games. It feels like there is an MVP-design of a game initially introduced and then as you play more features and complexity are added.

I highly recommend it, even as a solitaire game. There is a digital version on Steam as well, which approximates the mechanics and gameplay well.
No obvious medical condition, other than a vit D serum level of 15 ng/mL. Depending on who you ask, that's a deficiency. I'm personally less convinced.

It's not quite an acute high dose. The body produces the equivalent of 10,000 IU per day in high sun exposure, so 60K per week tries to achieve that level. I believe the high dosage is simply convenience. The 2K IU daily dose is pretty common as well.
Journalists have balanced the need of the public to know something against the harm for decades. They sometimes get it right, they sometimes get it wrong.

Facebook and the like try to reproduce that as an algorithm
Well, you said hate.

You can say hateful things about a group without wishing them dead.
Yeah, but could they give it away?
Do you have any recommendations on what to look for and how to avoid laptops with issues? I have a family member who is going to college and insistent on getting an Apple laptop. This will be her only machine and so my concern is that if anything happens, she won't have a fall back, while when I buy laptops for myself I'm fine taking a gamble as I have other options.
In that case, just hardcode shoplifting = true

Yes certainly, memetic information is similar to a virus (eg. religion). There exists technology whose sole purpose is to kill or torture, it's all part of the human story for better or worse.
Interesting but I'm not sure I'm buying it ;-)
Radisson is a small unconstituted locality so whether it qualifies as a town is questionable.
It also has a population small enough to fit in two or three buses.
> I'll go out on a limb, and say that the existence of police unions is not the most important factor behind police brutality, and the killing of people of colour by police, in the US.

Hard to say if it is the most important but it is a pretty important factor. See https://www.joincampaignzero.org/ for all research that indicates the unions are a key stumbling block.

Other Texas cities do not have the cultural amenities or pleasant weather of Austin, nor do they have the political sensibilities of Austin that make it more attractive for younger workers. It's the city in Texas where you will have the least difficulty finding friends outside the MAGA and hardcore evangelical groups.
It is fortunate, then, that neither of the ones that I referenced are that. The several run program collections are, as we can see, provided by a range of different people from Wayne Marshall to Glenn Strauss; and van Smoorenburg rc on Debian is maintained by several people, including Petter Reinholdtsen who introduced the aforementioned 2014 change.
Cool link. Thanks!
Correct -- we don't collect any user information, just the URLs and titles of pages where Dewey is activated. We don't even assign a unique user ID because we're only trying to determine which articles are most popular.
3 of those people are listed there as killed by rubber bullets, the other 14 as being killed by plastic ones.

> meaning D deficiency may be a co-indicator

I saw a statistic/study from China that found that only 1 in 7000 cases were exposed outdoors. The link could be as simple as people who spend a lot of time indoors get more exposure to the virus.

The only real action you can glean from that isn't to take supplements, it's don't do what caused those people to be vitamin D deficient which is usually staying indoors.

Maybe it's the vitamin D, maybe it isn't.
The number of websites that prevent me from doing this, because somebody wrote a shitty regex to invalidate most punctuation in an email address, is infuriatingly high.
You can get pretty far with the built in instruments and effects in Bitwig, especially with the new modular grid. I haven't felt much need for third party stuff.
A podcast episode on whether Beethoven's Fifth is played at the correct tempo. It's a treat to hear it played at a much faster, breathless tempo, feels like an entirely different piece of music.

And that’s why they should only be applied once de-escalation and containment have failed. There is no such thing as a non-lethal round, the correct term is “less-lethal”, and as such should only be applied when justified.
I'm in the same boat. I am considering donating more to help them, because I truly want the IA to succeed. I also have doubts and feel that this is the wrong fight at the wrong time.
Curfews not enough to keep the peace with protests
I'm on the second camp of that divide as well. Most times, all you really need is the logging functionality (whether you get it from a logger or a debugger) to observe the outcome of an action. It's not really necessary to witness unfolding before your eyes the step-by-step playbook of how a variable came to acquire the wrong value. It's enough to see that it got the wrong value and from there you can infer what the problem is and the corrections to apply. That's most times.

However, some intricate situations are better suited for the debugger (flags set in inner loops, circuitous algorithms, values unknowingly inherited, values mistakenly overridden, etc). In those it usually is harder to reason about the flow of the logic. In my experience that's where a debugger shines, as it shows you what the code is doing. But even then and with enough experience and instinct, you can get by with just logging a value and reading the code.

> became unusable due to macOS, not hardware, issues

I'm on a 2013 iMac and i was 2.5 years behind on OS upgrading. I just upgraded last week and now i get the beach ball spinner when opening a directory in the finder. It is absolutely OS related.
This just pushed the problem further down the stack. You should have keys to unlock vault when it is restarted. How do you secure those keys?
I have a 2013 macbook. But I think I will update to a hackintosh, and an ipad as my next two computers.

I never built a hackintosh, but saw some guides on youtube. Seems simple enough. I do occasional video editing in final cut, and programming.

The 2013 13 inch macbook, has been good so far.
But 98% of the time its connected to an external monitor and mouse and keyboard. The 13 inch macbook is still too big to use on an airplane seat. For the occasional travel, I think an ipad will work better for that and in bed.

The biggest gripes for me are with the macbook/os

1. It came with 128 GB, which I partitioned to use half with windows. I'm running out of space all the time.

2. It came with 2 usb ports and 2 lightning ports. I have never used a lighting port, but I'm always short a usb port. I use a dongle for external mouse and keyboard, so it takes up one usb port. But if I want to edit a movie, or files. I hook up an external drive and then I'm short a USB port. I wish there was a lightning 2 port to USB cable.
I use a USB hub, but it craps out eventually.

3. I dread updating, because recreating my python and windows programming environments would take a month.

4. I hate "Finder". It does weird things all the time. Takes 3 seconds to create a folder. Moving files requires a holding down a key. Windows explorer was much more snappier and useful.

5. My trash bin accumulates things which it won't let me delete.

I'm budgeting $750 hackintosh and $300 ipad. I think will give me more power and portability. Plush I'll still have my old macbook.

Maybe I'll budget $200 for a good mechanical keyboard and mouse this time.
they’re just a few months ahead of themselves on the collapse of the legal system
That’s pointedly not what you said, but sure.

The particular individual who got murdered here has a chance at justice. His murderer is in custody and facing murder charges.

Regardless, people are being killed in these riots now, so now you have permission to care.
Unfortunately it doesn't, but I haven't seen a need to have that functionality for my workflow.
Think of it like a stack trace, except across processes.

You have to instrument your code and libraries to pass along a context that gets picked up by each piece along the call tree, and then each piece gets reported to a collector.

It's useful for microservices, and even for non-distributed web services if you have heavyweight libraries that it must interact with (databases, caches, queues, etc).

It only really works if all of the pieces understand each other, thus the OpenTelemetry [1] initiative.

My family plays the Harry Potter Battle for Hogwarts game, which is a cooperative deck builder. Part of the enjoyment of it is definitely that there are lot of things happening and a lot to keep track of. Technically a cooperative game like this could be played by one player. But having four players means the others can butt in with "oh and that triggers the horcrux ability" when you forget. The other neat thing about the game is that it's broken into 7 "books", and the rules get more complicated as you progress. It's basically a formalization of the idea that the blogpost here gives, though the starting game is still modestly complicated.
