This happens to me too. I think mine's caused by mindshare. Whatever is currently in mind always leads to 'next things' to do so there's a natural continuity.

One trick is to stop working on what you're currently doing but leaving the obvious next step not done. Then when you're doing the other thing, you'll have that undone thing in the back of your mind to get back to. It also makes it so much easier to get started on the other thing because it's 'ready-to-go'.

Another trick is to incrementally setup up pieces in the other thing for what needs to be done next. No matter how big the task is, getting things ready to start a big task is a bunch of little things. You keep going back and forth between the thing that you're doing and setting up bits of the other thing. At some point, you'll realize that everything's ready to go and you're already doing it without realizing you've started.
Even if the Earth loses all its ozone we would still be more protected here than anywhere else in the Solar System. So any solution you come up with for, for example, living on Mars would work here as well and be cheaper. If you live in shelters covered in 2 meters of dirt on Mars, you could do that here too and not have to generate oxygen to breath.
My concern was primarily that license plate numbers are included in the data, which I used to track vehicles across multiple citations. The license plate is also included in the towing dataset as well as the escheatment data published by SFMTA which links license plates to the name of the owner.
Why should Tesla get any slack? This particular circumstance looks like it should be within the typical guidelines for Automatic Emergency Braking systems to detect and react to--the sorts of systems which can be found in consumer models of cars.

Uber shut down its self-driving lab in part because the circumstances were such in the realm of "the car should be capable of handling it" that excess caution was warranted in figuring out why a very easy case was missed.
Does the pay max out at GS-15 like USDS?
(In Japanese) For beginners to medium level programmers, there are more than enough learning materials (online, books) in the language. We also have the Japanese words for most of CS terms such as object-oriented programming.
It's the same justification many people used for voting for Trump, which was that?
That's called a "false negative", ouch.
There is also the need to not have secret arrests, so arrest records are public.
I am a native Sinhalese, and I can speak Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) and Tamil.

No, we cannot use native languages for CS. For Sinhalese, there is an on-going attempt to invent words or rather put words together to translate a technical term to Sinhalese, but nobody can figure it out. "Download", for example, is literally translated to a word that doubles as taking something down via a crane, and it has become a sort of a joke that the linguistics even attempted to translate.

However, in Sri Lanka, English is one of the official languages and university courses are in English, even the non-CS majors. Professionally, pretty much every company is using English for both team and client communication.

Other than a few starter YouTubers, I have yet to see anyone meaningfully using Sinhalese in CS.

It is a similar situation in Indonesia too, although more Indonesian words are used. Indonesian itself is rather limited due to its limited nature, and borrows many of the words from English and Dutch. The former languages in the archipelago such as Javanese and Sundanese tend to be quite limited for technical literature, but rich with grammar and meaning.
You're probably more worried about optimal algorithms when you can't trivially do thousands of operations per millisecond.

It's kind of crazy how often the correct answer in engineering is something like "Eh, N is less than 100,000 and this only runs once. Brute force"
I don’t follow the “Fire and Motion” bit on web standards. Mind an elaboration?
Just saw this now. Thank you, netcan! This is the plan.
I personally think body camera footage should be public. I would even go as far to say security cameras owned by public institutions should also be public. I think the answer to “who watchers the watchers?” should be a group of trustworthy people beyond reproach, but the absence of such a group necessitates that this responsibility fall upon the public at large [0].

Virtual worlds often allow this, since many users have multiple avatars.
The file format is very simple. The write guarantees of the file system for full OS usage may not be simple, certainly they're not simple on Linux, and Btrfs development shows that this is hard.

The GRUB Btrfs driver is pretty small considering the Btrfs feature set. And yet it understands all the multiple device stuff, the logical and physical device abstraction, and snapshots and subvolume navigation.

I like always on checksums for every block, both metadata and data. It's a good fit for the cheaper flash media out there including USB sticks which non-deterministically report back garbage, rather than a discrete read error.
I don't use Express, but I have built up my boilerplate for Vue/TypeScript and various backends in other languages. The boilerplate isn't so much a template as it is a simple app that I've already done and I just copy/pasta.

The only reason that "the will of the people" isn't interchangeable with voting is the two party system. Unfortunately the mechanisms that drive US politics into a two party system are baked into the constitution, which means this flaw is an inseparable part of the United States Federal Government.

Trilium as a CMS
Python Software Foundation's Twitter account did the same. I don't know how many more made a stance, but I needed to learn Wagtail CMS and they too went dark on their website. Maybe not all tech is political, but open source, freedom being one of its foundations, sure is.

The people that 'ask them to' are bound by an inexorable set of rules appear in the system, for the most part. That system is observable and a little bit predictable, it's just more economic than it is technical, so it's worthwhile for devs to take one step out of their zone sometimes to see how that math works. I don't really think anyone at wired actually wants a slow site or tons of crap ads.
That would be nice, the "non-deployed" cycle could be used for more training.

Police (no fault of their own) are woefully under trained given what is expected from them.

Of course, it will never happen because of the cost.
High network utilization doesn't have to mean an unresponsive website.

Google cares more about responsiveness. A site is responsive if you can start reading it quickly, regardless of how much network traffic is being used by ads, as long as the ads are loaded asynchronously after the primary content.

Penalizing for high total network traffic is short-sighted and would prevent most video hosts from ranking well in Google Search.
As history has shown in the 1992 LA riots, London riots of 2012 and now in this current unrest, there are those who have almost lost businesses due to rioters and looters attacking their property when they have nothing to do with the problem. [0]

The protestors are with in their right to protest but only done peacefully. I don’t know how one can begin to ’justify’ a riot when it leads to the destruction of businesses and other people’s properties and not expecting a forceful reaction from the state. Especially if you’re looting from your own communities. [0][1]

The article is literally talking about how loss of taste and smell can profoundly affect someone. It's the exact opposite of "fear hysteria." From the article:

> Out of 417 patients who suffered mild to moderate forms of Covid-19 in Europe, 88% and 86% reported taste and smell dysfunctions, respectively, according to a study published in April in the European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology.

> Most patients said they couldn’t taste or smell even after other symptoms were gone. Preliminary data showed at least a quarter of people regained their ability to taste and smell within two weeks of other symptoms dissipating. The study said long-term data are needed to assess how long this can last in people who didn’t report an improvement.

Right here it is saying that about 25% of patients recover their senses of taste and smell. That means that probably 75% do not. The article spends the entire rest of its word count on explaining the terrible effects this has on those people.

Can you explain to me how that would be considered "hysteria" given how contagious this disease is? That just seems utterly dismissive of these peoples' suffering to me.

To spell out the actual argument: "although it may be true that morality cannot be legislated, behavior can be regulated. [...] Even though it may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, it can restrain him from lynching me."

Notice MLK is talking about specific legislature, and the poster above was talking about electing officials. They are correct that merely electing politicians is neither necessary nor sufficient--the laws must change.
Sometimes the best things aren't commercially self-sustaining. Blogs, paid for by the writers' day jobs. Professors' sites on .edu domains, paid for by research budgets.

As for professional journalism, the lack of conflicting interests caused by ads is essential for it to be considered "good", so no good journalism website should be clouded by advertising. Yes, that probably means subscriptions.

Everyone will answer differently, but for me, tech is about making life better for the next generation. Maybe that means longer lives or better education, or even perhaps more efficient use of time. This worldview does, for better or worse, mean that some tech is not “good tech” or is more useless than other technology, such as social media apps.
I use a trio of VS Code, IntelliJ, and console/vi. I've used vi/vim mode on both VS Code and IntelliJ and they worked fine but I'm already comfortable with IntelliJ shortcuts.

One thing I found that was really cool with VS Code vi mode is that it's local. You can remote-pair with someone using different keybindings/mode.
I think we are talking about two different things. You are talking about uniformity and standardization as being a good thing. I am talking about accepting that input from people in other languages as a way to increase accessibility.

Expecting everyone to speak English before being able to make any meaningful work is not that different than expecting only able-bodied people to make any meaningful work.

You being shocked that there are non-English speakers working with tech is no different than being shocked by blind programmers.

The unfortunate reality is that parking tickets are just a cost of doing business in any dense city.

In Canada, can also confirm "<dst> <src>" is standard (I think it was one of the possible questions on the exam). And my understanding is that it's at least best practice in the US as well. At least the ARRL's "Making Your First Contact"[0] page lists it in that format.

The idea being whoever's on the other end is not actively listening until they hear their own call sign. If you say your own call sign first, you're just going to create confusion because all they're going to actually pick up is that they were called and have to "Person calling <X> come again..."

Whom? Well, the greatest number of people possible. All time frames. All scopes. You philosophers always trying to confuse the simple.
Yeah, texture is a surprisingly large part of what people enjoy about food. It's honestly weird that we consider it a separate thing from taste, since you take it into account almost as much as flavor when you cook.
That's the difference between a physical and digital product. Physical products have the first sale doctrine and eBooks don't. They are also physically limited. One at a time. Degradation. Shipping. Loss. Theft.

With regard to libraries and eBooks there are two common licenses. One, libraries can loan one copy of one book out at a time n number of times, then they can rebuy it. Similar to a physical book that degrades due to wear. Two, libraries can loan n number of copies of a book out for a fixed per-loan fee.
In high school, I once volunteered at a local library for a few hours, sorting returned book alphabetically. At the start, I tried just grabbing the alphabetically "first" book repeatedly, moving it to the front. This got old fast, so after a little while, I started looking at just the first letters, and grabbing all the books I could fit in my hand with that letter. When I had them all "roughly" sorted, I did the same with the second letter, etc.

A few years later I learned about sorting algorithms. It's interesting to me that my natural book-sorting intuition was O(n^2) selection sort, but then it wasn't a very big leap for me to tweak it a bit and discover a form of O(n)(ish) radix sort.

In school you don't really spend a few hours manually executing sorting algorithms to build an intuition, so the algorithms can feel a bit like artifacts handed down from the gods. How could someone have come up with these? But then, if that's the specific problem you're trying to solve, developing a fairly efficient and sophisticated (and sometimes opaque to future students) algorithm can feel completely natural.
Croatian here. In the circles I run, everyone says the english variant "branch", even though it could be straightforwardly translated (to "grana"). The reason is the following - when I hear "branch" it evokes the version control concept in my mind. When I hear "grana" it evokes the part of the tree or bush. So, we use "branch".

And if I were to try to translate "master", it would end up translated as a word that could be equally well translated back to English as "lord", which is just silly.
The comparison wouldn't be remotely apples-to-apples.

Right, but this is another problem which is at the crux of the issue. These exceptions throughout the TOS give Twitter the power to editorialize without requiring them to take on any liability for the content on their site.
I worked at one of these companies during this era and yours is an often forgotten fact. It was a very long time before Google search result quality was any good. Their initial popularity was due almost entirely to page load speed, which they included on every page to highlight it.

The second was being able to serve a large index with parallelized querying, which was relatively easy for a newcomer company with no user base to engineer, and much harder for existing search engines trying to protect a revenue stream. People often don't really remember how late Google was to this business and how much of a difference that page speed indicator was.
It is perfectly reasonable to expect these cars to do at least as well as humans at avoiding mind-bogglingly stupid scenarios that the least experienced driver could avoid while drunk, talking on the phone, and applying makeup. This is absolutely one of those scenarios.
The entire section above the fold re-renders on every scroll event, probably some non-gpu accelerated CSS property is changed.
Each jurisdiction has very distinct regulations on this. It is not some trivial thing to handwave away. You are likely in violation of the law for retaining and publishing this info regardless of subsequent court actions. And anyone who is harmed by this info could rightfully sue you for defamation.
Interesting.

How do we classify the 127 hours is a movie or a time value?

Reminds me of the "Shirts without stripes"

>>How would you feel if someone took your output without permission, whether it's designs or code or something else unique and hard to make?

The output of my work is finally money and more than half is taken away from me; most people agree with this and quite a lot think I should be left with even less. It is called taxes and please don't tell me it's not the same because it is the output of my work and it is taken away without permission, so it is the same word for word.
I unaware of any legal authority one could use to remove public information from GitHub, even after expungement of the public record itself. These are not works covered under copyright that a DMCA takedown notice would apply to.

You’re still correct that datasets such as these might need to be globally distributed, instead of hosted with a single commercial provider.
curbFlow | REMOTE | Sr. Backend Engineer, Computer Vision engineer, Lead HW Engineer, IoT DevOps Engineer | Full-time | www.curbflow.com

curbFlow's mission is to bring order to the chaos of our city streets, and we're beginning with the most painful part of the passenger and delivery experience: pickups and drop-offs at the curb. Since the advent of on-demand services, demand for the curbside has far outstripped its supply, causing record congestion, unsafe behavior and lack of equity on city curbsides. curbFlow solves this by acting as the air traffic control tower for the city curb, sourcing supply from municipalities and demand from commercial operators, like existing customers UPS and DoorDash.

We’re a remote-first company. We primarily develop in python and node.

I’ve had an interest in cars for longer than I can remember. Around when I was 8, my father would kindly let me drive the family car around a deserted (private property) car park as a treat. Basic car control was pretty easy to pick up. Avoiding stationary toppled-over trucks on a clear motorway, like the Tesla failed to do, would also be an easily avoidable situation for child driving.

I think the hardest part of driving is learning the psychology of other road users and understanding both the positive and negative consequences of your actions. This requires experience and practice.

> Riots for the most part affect people who had nothing material to do with whatever the complaint is

This is an interesting point that should be addressed. I’m not sure I’m the most qualified, but I’ll try.

Imagine you are trying to claim insurance on something but the insurance company has denied you. You believe you have rights to your claim but the only option they gave you is to call a phone number where an anonymous operator answers. They can only tell you the facts of the matter, and not transfer you up to a person with authority to revise the claim. What do you do? Do you get angry and direct your anger towards the operator, or do you calmly hang up, swear to your self for a day or two, and then forget about it? The first option is a normal human response, that most of us will do.

Now bump up the stakes by a million, and imagine you are a part of a minority that has received systematic injustice for decades. You are told you have the option to try to affect the system from within, elect the right officials, get legislation through, etc. But at this point you believe it has been tried for too long and it doesn’t work. Now something happens that makes you angry and really your only option at this point (outside of taking things silently and accepting how things are) is to direct your anger straight at the system, but the only face of the system that is doing all this injustice are storefronts and institutions in your downtown area. The natural (and the only real choice) is to smash it.

See looting is not just understandable action towards this injustice, it is also the natural response. And at this point, the only response.
