Thanks for the insight. I can appreciate the paranoia about not smelling important cues. I once worked in a bio-lab with somebody with anosmia. One day they accidentally split a very noxious chemical without realising until somebody else walked into the room, hit the extraction system into overdrive and pulled them out of the toxic air.

Right? It's such a pity that Pock messed that one up. I added Pock to have the same thing in the same position all of the time and I really like how it gave me more screen real estate but it's those little details that they missed.

I live in a city with a monetarily constrained police force.

It's great. They take the big stuff (violent crime and trafficking in hard drugs) seriously but don't have time to be running BS task forces, procuring military equipment they don't need and sitting around watching for "sketchy looking" people to harass. I'm sure it sucks to be them and they're all over worked but frankly it's great for the people.

Not being seen as jerks gives the local police better freedom of operation than the much better funded state cops who are seen as being jerks who enforce every law to the letter and nobody wants to cooperate with. I kinda feel bad for the state cops because cities like mine are where they stick the fresh academy grads who have no connections or seniority to avoid a crap assignment and then they get locals hating them for doing what the state trained them to do (also goes to show you the conflict between what the state wants and what the people of the city want).

That said, were the Real Crime(TM) to vanish I can see the local police using their newfound free time to optimize enforcement for revenue generation which would be very bad.
heh :). why thank you

I still think it's a great idea
From what I understand it’s actually untrue- the media are just more likely to film and show destruction rather than peaceful protests. In Minneapolis there were both massive peaceful protests and looting, but the property damage was covered more than the protesting. Given that the argument for looting is that people care more about property damage than about the protection of black lives against police oppression, this only further evidences the argument for property violence in response to human injustice...
I would hope that Keivan would be well compensated especially since they directly reached out in the first place. Credit in a Readme portion is the very least that he deserves. Even if the Microsoft team was only lightly influenced, the way to build a strong developer relationship community is to acknowledge someone else's expertise through proper compensation (monetary or otherwise). Besides, Microsoft can afford it!

It's great to see that countires are starting to become more and more technologically independent.

Losing dependency on Silicon Valley may be another step after becoming hardware independent, or even those efforts can run parallelly.

I think I'd want to see tech hubs like London or Hong Kong to have significant part of "giant corps" market
It always amazes me what people will pay for that seems to have zero utility from my perspective.
I really appreciate your response. It was thought provoking.

in fact it all makes sense.

but does rationality matter? in the context of society.. i think it has to. because what does its absence imply?

chaos?

blind idealism? aka radicalism...

if we are starting at "silence is violence" i am afraid to see where it ends

Hi there, dutch male, just under 60, overall good health, healthy way of living. Halfway march I noticed light Covid related stuff like higher temp (for just 1 day), headache (longer period, not every day), no energy (6 weeks) and then a loss of taste and smell (not very suddenly as I recall). After 7 to 8 weeks taste came back lightly (like smelling toiletcleaner and strong things) and now after a recovery to +- 25% of smell and taste, it is again getting less (10%). And all the time a totally free breathing through the nose. I can taste salt and sweet but for Instance no garlic.
And one other noticable thing, both sides under the back of my tongue feel like they are a bit irritated, lightly swollen salivary glands (for what it is worth).
Nice to see that the "Zettelkasten" is getting more and more attention. We published an article about it on our blog a couple of months ago as well:

Just because you "delete" the accounts doesn't necessarily mean they are deleted. The social media companies most likely just set the flag in the "deleted" column. Not only that, it's almost a certainty that some government entity is vacuuming all the social media data anyways. So even if you delete it, the government would still have your social media data.

If people you know visit the US and they hand over their social media info, then your interaction with these people will be visible to the government. Social media is a very insidious beast.

Also, suddenly deleting a bunch of social media accounts before traveling to the US would probably raise some red flags.
From personal experience, I've only had that many issues once on a bleeding edge MSI. It took about a month to work out the issues. Every other system I've used has had a much smaller subset of those issues (I'm not using a Thinkpad). Namely Bluetooth or the fans not working, and individually resolvable.
I moved my dock to the bar with Pock and I have some of the most used buttons (brightness, volume, mute and night mode) right there. I also added a negative spacing between the icons so they're really close now. Now every time I can expect the same thing to be in the same place on the Touch Bar. And together with the slightly increased resolution and size the screen feels a lot bigger than the 15".

The only thing that doesn't work is tap-and-slide on the volume slider.
I find this wide addressing mode interesting

> compile in 128-bit secure addressing mode with hardware access control to objects.

> In this mode, a pointer to data and functions takes 128 bits. It contains the 64-bit address of the object, its size (no more than 4 GB) and the position of the pointer inside the object. The mode enhances program memory control during execution.

Like Intels unused bound checking additions, it checks the starting offset and the ending offset. But without the HW hash table.

For Academic writing like the creator of zettelkasten was, web method is much preferred.

For linear notes, the remedy is not really feasible, you'd have to go through everything thoroughly fixing unlinked notes.

For the 2nd, the 'failure mode' of the web note taker as you describe, that isn't really a problem. Notes are just tools/building blocks to writing or coming up with cohesive ideas/arguments. If you don't know what Y was for, its either irrelevant or you've found a gap in your knowledge you need to plug.
It isn’t an either or. We can do both. That being said, I think firing bad cops isn’t enough. There must be criminal charges and convictions.

Personally, I’m amazed that we don’t keep publicly accessible logs of every time a police patrol car turns its lights and/or sirens on.

Firing bad cops should be swift and purposeful. I think any police officer who leaves their reflective vest on the dashboard of a private car or otherwise signals that the car belongs to a police officer, should be fired immediately with no pension. I don’t think we can do that today because the police unions are just too powerful.
Historically speaking, it would lead to a sudden interest in gun restrictions from people who were previously opposed.

Or could it be that it just pulls too much power for a cordless keyboard? There can't be much room for batteries in those keyboards.

If the non-TouchBar one was cheaper then I guess you'd be right. But all else equal I imagine people would want it. I quite like it, of all the things that have been wrong with the previous lineup of Macbooks, the TouchBar really isn't one of them.

However - the way Apple implemented the TouchBar leaves much to be desired. You need something like BetterTouchTool or MTMR in order to make it usable.

This is a very white take on the problem. Seeking individual racist actions so as to find individuals to blame.

This side steps the issues of systemic racism with few individual acts of racism but rather large systems which are inherently racist.

It matters not whether each individual cop shoots more minorities but whether more minorities are shot by cops.
It's legal if implementation-specified. The clause you're looking at says how implementations that add extra signatures for main are required to map the return value (if any) to an exit status.

You can't just make up extra signatures for main and expect your compiler to deal with them. Of course, if your compiler vendor says that a particular non-standard signature is available, you're free to use it.
Two reasons:

(a) all the bad things happening right now have already been priced in

(b) stock values are in theory discounted present-value earnings in the future. The future is not "next month", but "the next fifty years" or so. And considering that timeframe Covid-19 is irrelevant.
The market determines price at that level, not some conspiracy. Agreed, nothing to do with fair. But something to do with, the decline in trade schools in America which limits supply.
It’s because of laws. PEO handles some things but states being what they are have exceptions.

Why did they stop filming the cops unloading bricks video? It’s really not clear what they are doing individually grabbing three or four before the 20 second video ends.

Most of the bigger conspiracies about police being behind everything are usually wrong and show similarities to all conspiracies (they take tiny seeds of truth and amplify it 1000x fold into far bigger schemes).

There was a video of that one agent provocateur cop with an umbrella breaking windows with a hammer, then there were a bunch of 100k tweets blaming them for burning down all the buildings.

I get police use an awful tactic to stir up violence to try to end large unsanctioned with protests quickly before worse damage happens - for some cynical ends justify the means. But it amazes me that people don’t realize just how many people show up to cause violence and simply steal things.

And not even just the anarchists and Black bloc who use property damage and vandalism as a tactic since they despite private property, that’s been proven thousands of times and those groups exist in every city, but just the average mob will always have trouble makers and opportunists.

There was even tweets from DSA groups prompting the burning and destruction of property.

Yet everyone is so quick to blame police for everything. It’s seems to strange and cynical to not only take zero responsibility for the wider group but to completely blame their it on outsiders when it’s so obviously not just police.

The only real solution is isolating and dismissing the radical groups as a policy. Just like right wing groups telling Nazis they aren’t welcome, the unions and powerful left wing groups should refuse to protest with black bloc and other violent protestors. I don’t believe they need to actually physically stop them but they need to denounce them early and often, and organizers need to put real efforts in warning people not to engage in violence, theft, and vandalism.

The other half is police cause as much problems as they prevent at almost every single protest I’ve ever been to. Mayors and leaders need to put pressure on police to change their tactics to deescalation and middle managers who don’t stop their lower ranking cops from provoking fights and high ranking police who allow agent provocateurs need to be fired.

You don't need to teach docker. All you need is providing a docker image with everything pre-installed such as Julia, R language, Python, numpy, pandas, Tensorflow and maybe Vscode. And also any Linux distribution, then one can just type "$ docker --rm -it -v $PWD:/cwd -w /cwd my-image ipython" For better convenience, it is better creating a command line wrapper or shell script that saves one from typing that such as $ ./run-my-image ipython. I don't prepare anyone, but I guess that if I knew anything about docker and was given a docker image with everything ready and pre-configured and also a shell script or command line encapsulating all docker command line switches, I would find it more convenient than installing everything myself or fighting some dependency conflict or dependency hell. So, docker can be used as a portable environment development. VScode, aka visual studio code, also supports remote development within docker containers with extensions installed per container. I am a mechanical engineer by training, but I found docker pretty convenient for getting Julia, Octave, R language, Python, Jupyter Notebook server without installing anything or fighting with package manager of my Linux distribution when attempting to install a different version of R, Julia or Python. This approach makes easier for getting bleeding edge development tools without breaking anything that is already installed. I even created a command line wrapper tool for using docker in this way that simplifies all those case: $ mytool bash jupyter-image; $ mytool daemon jupyter-notebook ...

Very interesting post. I actually have been feeling almost the opposite lately.

My work laptop is a 2017 MacBook Pro, and a couple months ago I dusted off my old personal laptop, a Mid-2013 MacBook Air to work on a side project.

The thing that blew me away is the Air feels a lot snappier! I honestly don't know what it is, and think I must have done something to my work laptop. I notice it most with VSCode, which seems to respond with less latency to interactions than on the Air.

I was idly thinking about upgrading the machine to the newest Air, but I'm sort of worried that whatever slowness is infecting my 2017 Pro might also apply to the new Airs. I'm not really a hardware guy but could it be, like, a different sort of SSD or RAM or something?
>So you want even longer wait times for an officer to respond to your complaint of a stolen car/bike or other “quality of life” crime?

But even in well funded departments the response is laughable. At best if your stolen item is serialized they will record that number and it will be recovered at a later date when they happen to bust someone for something else and catalog everything they found in the vicinity and their computer system tells them your thing was reported stolen.

>Even if you rake in overtime you still have to work during that time.

The Massachusetts State Police and their 2-5yr recurring "whoops it looks like a bunch of people were getting paid for working overtime that wasn't actually worked, we'll fire someone as a sacrificial lamb and go right back to what we were doing" scandal would beg to differ.

That said, as much as it pains me to defend them, the fact that the job can be easy money for anyone willing to step in line with the organization means that you get people who just want to slack and make easy money or want to over achieve and run a full fledged side business on company time (MSP isn't the only MA gov department where people do this but they're known internally for it) and not the people who want to LARP as soldiers and kick down doors. As a result they don't often wind up receiving allegations of excessive force.

Obviously this is by no means and ideal status quo but it's far superior to having a more violent police force.
But peaceful protesting hasn’t actually appeared to result in justice for black lives in the past. Black America have had peaceful protesting in Washington DC before it was violently dispersed (so trump could pose in front of a church). We’ve even had mildly disruptive protesting (BLM highway blocking, also violently dispersed). We’ve even had black people not protesting at all (cases of police shooting at people just standing on their own property during Minneapolis curfew).

None of these get more coverage than property violence. None of these got a response from political leadership.

It’s a bad look for the country that the only time our leadership is willing to punish law enforcement relatively mildly (currently the police officer in question is charged for only up to 35 years in prison with his accomplices merely losing their jobs, something statistically has been borne out that they get hired for more law enforcement work in neighboring districts) for killing someone in a terrible and slow manner is when disruption on property happens.
The rate seems small because you're apply it across the whole population. So, your number 2 choice is not quite accurate. The question is are people ok with many of their parents and grand parents dying this year?

> 0.026% is a number that means "most people don't know anyone well who died of covid19"

My wife's grandmother had COVID-19. At 80 years old, she was a lucky one and was asymptomatic. She's in a nursing home and many people around her did die though. I have 3 other friends who lost relatives to COVID-19. Even at the low population rate, it's rather stunning anecdotally.
