> the initial autopsy found no evidence that Floyd died of strangulation and traumatic asphyxia

Strangulation: "Forensics The act of suffocating a person by constricting the trachea or upper airways"[1]

Traumatic asphyxia: "Cyanotic asphyxia due to trauma; the extravasation of blood into the skin and conjunctivae, produced by a sudden mechanical increase in venous pressure, analogous to the Rumpel-Leede test; common in those who have been hanged and seen occasionally in crush injuries."[2]

So what that initial statement says is that the knee did not directly suffocate him by blocking blood or air flow, nor was Flody's chest crushed.

Keep in mind that breathing when you're face down on the ground can be difficult in itself, especially if you're not thin. And it is made a lot harder by having the upper part of your chest pinned to the ground.

But even if the officer did not pin him to the ground with the knee, and just left him on the ground facing down, they should have checked on him when he said he couldn't breathe and that he was dying. Not doing so would be highly negligent.

I actually enjoyed the overlay and the image format.
That's kind of why people use Google Go. No memory issues, statically linked, easy cross-compile, and it can handle 10k requests on a toaster.

And yes, there is less fancy companies like one where I work where we don't use Kubernetes because it's kind of overkill if all of your production workload fits onto 2 beefy bare metal servers.

I can see a point in using Docker to unify development and production environments into one immutable image. But I have yet to see a normal-sized company that gets a benefit from spreading out to hundreds of micro instances on a cloud and then coordinating that mess with Kubernetes. Of course, it'll be great if you're a unicorn, but most people using it are planning for way more scaling than what they'll realistically need and are, thus, overselling themselves on cloud costs.
Well aren't Openshift and Rancher offering those ergonomics?
You are a piece of shit.
Yeah this was the plan for me, I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't doing something in the old boring way when I should do it in the new fun way.
I feel those are more the tedious parts, then they are the hard parts. Maybe I just have a nack for that stuff, but it rarely takes me more than a day or two to have all that figured out.

Once you get to mastering the paradigms, syntax and semantics is when the hard part begins.
Good breakdown!

> Plus, there's a great desire to go for an utopian future cleaning up all that's wrong with current tech. This [...] is the case with Rust [...]. Starting over is easier and more fun than fixing your shit.

The domain I'm working in might be non-representative, but for me fixing my shit systematically means switching from C++ to Rust. The problems the borrow checker addresses come up all time either in the form of security bugs (because humans are not good enough for manual memory management without a lot of help) or in the form of bad performance (because of reference counting or superfluous copies to avoid manual memory management).

But otherwise I agree with you that if we never put in the effort to polish our current tools, we'll only ever get the next 80%-ready solution out of the hype train.
Yes and people should try to skip definitions without context.

If you have technical document or research paper there are definitions at the start which are defined for the scope of a document or a paper. Those are still arbitrary but at least they have some value.
Maybe electric cars will bring in the days of home CHP. The combination of a natural gas combustion engine with a good use for the waste heat can be circa 90% efficient.
Rancher is even more approachable and streamlined than Openshift. Yeah we need k8s to be more streamlined. It's fragmented cluster-something right now. There is no pride in making systems more complex nor there is pride in knowing how to operate them.

It really feels like Kubernetes was developed by some enterprise Java developers. Nothing seems well defined, everything is done in the name of abstraction, but the rules of the abstraction are never clearly stated, only the purpose is.

I really hope someone takes the mantle of Leslie Lamport (creator of the language TLA - "the quixotic attempt to overcome engineers' antipathy towards mathematics") and replaces Kubernetes with some software with a first principles approach.
No, when TS checks js it will check types for built-ins too:

npm i typescript
echo 'Math.round = () => "haha";' > test.js
./node_modules/.bin/tsc --allowJs --checkJs --noEmit test.js

And you get:

test.js:1:20 - error TS2322: Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'number'.

1 Math.round = () => "haha";
~~~~~~

node_modules/typescript/lib/lib.es5.d.ts:708:5
708 round(x: number): number;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The expected type comes from the return type of this signature.

Found 1 error.
JavaScript would have static typing. It would have permissions to request like smartphone apps, and there would be mandatory telemetry to Google and Microsoft .

CSS would not be super different imho, but it would get rid of a lot of legacy stuff b created for backwards compatibility with older css.
It depends.

If you want to be a successful indie company, avoid cloud and distributed like the plague.

If you want to advance in the big corp career ladder, user Kubernetes with as many tiny instances and micro-services as you can.

"Oversaw deployment of 200 services on 1000 virtual servers" sounds way better than "started 1 monolithic high-performance server". But the resulting SaaS product might very well be the same.
Thanks for appreciating.
EDA tools are possessed by US companies. It is not easy to close the gap i think.
I think the popularity of Kubernetes is that it can run all kinds of workloads on a single platform not really its performance. I've been in Ops business for over a decade now, in my case every single customer has a completely different kind of application architecture and sometimes even with similar use cases (i.e like ecom app or chatbots etc). With Kubernetes the differences are largely irrelevant encapsulated nicely within the container. This means in my universe I can run all of our customers on a single architecture and the differences are nicely abstracted.
The Everett interpretation of quantum mechanics is not "metaphysics", the theory is principally testable and falsifiable by empirical data. The experiments needed to test it are just not yet feasible. Sean Caroll has written a nice blog post about this in 2015 [1].

> "actively resisted being handcuffed"

Even if someone WAS "actively resisting" - which was obviously not what happened in this case as seen in the above video evidence - intentionally strangling someone for 8+ minutes after they they are on the ground under the control of multiple officers is still murder!

Some people seem to believe that "resisting arrest" is a capital offense that the police can punish immediately as prosecutor, judge, jury, and executioner. The police say someone (usually black) "resisted", so fsck due process and execute them? -sigh-
> Someone who can't breathe can't say things like, "I can't breathe."

According to the top post on this Reddit thread, written by a self-proclaimed restraint trainer and the major replies to them, this is absolutely, positively not the case:

Apparently this is an old saying and is completely wrong.

edit: to visualize this. One of the steps in death via a python is suffocation. During that process, you could speak many times, all the way until your lungs are out of air, but you'll never get air in your lungs again.

Is having your ability to breathe severely reduced (say 10-20% capacity. Enough to exhale out words) not accurate enough for "I can't breathe" to be true?
You're missing the point. The argument that your money would get you farther if you invest it over 40 years is inherently flawed because most people who don't go to college don't do that. Your earning power is higher with a college degree.

I never finished mine, and it took me a long time and a lot more work to catch up to my peers financially. I might never have done it if I didn't get lucky and make a few right choices in my 30a.

I’m now fully expecting republican mega donors coming together to trying to gain control of Tweeter as strategic asset. At $23B market cap it’s fairly easy target given there are already other major investors wanting to see Dorsey out. There already had been movement to buy off super cheap local radio stations and turn them in to conservative media at scale. Republican think tanks understands the immense value of building media channels and they have ton of money sloshing around. I can imagine Twitter with new CEO banning all tweets from Joe Biden because they are all deemed factually incorrect or misleading.
I second the recommendation of checking the Teach Yourself Logic guides by Peter Smith, but I will give some more specific recommendations:

- Greg Restall - Logic (and he also gives some recommendations of his own that are worth checking out). If you use this, check the errata in Restall's website.

- Richard Jeffrey - Formal Logic: Its Scope and Limits (Smith has a textbook that is modelled largely after this, but Jeffrey's book is more to the point and fun to follow along)

- Daniel Velleman - How to Prove It, which has tons of good exercises for practicing symbolig logic in the context of the construction of proofs, and introduces some mathematics along the way.
You care too much about the vehicle. What they are testing isn't the vehicle, they are testing the production processes.

I'm confident the vehicle design will work once they get a handle on the production. They got really good simulation tools for the vehicle flight part of the problem.
sidenote: if by any miracle he didn't die (though how one can't die when the blood flow to the brain is cut-off?) then the 8 minutes of sadistic torture would have probably not even registered on anybody's radar. In the video it is so obvious that the police guy is immensely enjoying that power trip.

It is puzzling why the society still allows police to apply chockhold, neck pressure, etc. - such actions affecting breathing and circulation are naturally causing involuntary convulsions which police happily interprets as "resisting", and thus they get and use their right to escalate the pressure/hold until the "resisting", ie. the convulsions, stop which frequently means death.
The Tunisian Army was impartial (still largely impartial to these days) and would not intervene. They did protect some government buildings so nobody really overrun the palace. What happened is that support for the old dictator become too low and most of his supporters decided to bail on him (many people hates him too).
You need to relax and realize that just because you don't like someone doesn't mean literally everyone who supports him is an idiot.

You sound like a raging extremist. It's ironic that you're so sure you are smarter than like 100 million people.
Not only that, it gives the developers some breathing-room I'd guess.
The problem might be that those people interested in learning new things, solving complicated issues and building good long-term architectures are usually not too interested in sitting in a cubicle without a window.

So big companies might be forced to settle for less skilled developers, simply because the top tier is doing their own thing. I assume that's also why acqui-hiring is a thing.
I wouldn't be worried about those. I'm sure China can easily find "alternative sourcing" for them (also the version they have right now is probably sufficient for some time)

I would consider a nap in the middle of the day far from laziness, but an enabler of great productivity. I'm (edit: covetous) of siestas.
It's a naïve joke though because while few of the non-smoking colleagues are driving around in Ferraris many of them are discretely funding a secure retirement. So the joke really is on the smoker.
While I partly agree with you, unpopular political moves are weaponised during elections. If the opposition win they can revoke previous changes. This highlights issues around populism, and democracy in general.
The stylistic choice there may be informed by macOS' window manager defaulting the window size to "just big enough to fit the content".

It's only really since full-screen windows came to play that the issue with Daring Fireball really become obvious; prior to that, macOS users rarely made their windows fill the screen in the same way that Windows users are prone to do.
You are naive to think mass riots, looting and arson won’t lead to deaths. Someone with respect for human life wouldn't set fire to a building or repeatedly punch a disabled lady in a wheelchair in the back of the head and take her purse. Already at least 7 people have been shot. 63 people died in the 1992 LA riots.
And yet a good part of ES4 been realistically implemented in ActionScript 3 and used by many developers for over a decade.

And those namespaces in AS3 (much simpler than in ES4) I think are quite a good idea, they allow to control what is visible or not and/or to switch which implementation you use.

For example when some AS3 builtins do not support some methods defined later in ES5.1 then ES6 etc.

ES5 function trim():String
ES6 function repeat(count:Number):String

So yeah you not gonna use namespaces everyday for everything, but they do have allow to solve specific problems while "programming in the large".

The missing component in all of these green initiatives aimed at changing human behavior is a simple feedback loop. Put a fucking indicator somewhere in the shower that tells people how much water they used, or better yet, energy, or better yet, carbon. Show them their week over week, month over month, etc information and positively reward them (via tone—and other UI hints—of the message, e.g., “you reduced your shower carbon by X this month! Great work!”). If you do that even my backwoods relatives who still burn their garbage will start using less and less water, even all the while talking about how climate change is all a hoax.

Why couldn't a Cabal with a high tech lab that released a man made virus also be responsible for this. I don't get the step in the logic?

“It turns out that you can retrieve [RNA] more than 50 years later, even if the thing has been sitting in a drawer at ambient temperature.

Such conflict will be disaster for the whole humanity, so the probability of such conflict is not that great except some small skirmish here and there.

I will not count on difficulty of technology to stop a country progress for long. China mastered bullet trains and surpassed the original designs from German, French and Japanese designs, so given time and resolve they will be able to solve given, at present USA closing doors and China opening doors for educated immigrants.

I hope the world instead of focusing on differences, focus on collaboration, USA and its system has its own pros and cons so is China’s system. Also in general I believe no meaning in forcing Chinese to accept what’s right for them based on US ideas, let them have their own freedom to choose and work or change their system. As US has black minorities and Puerto Rico (overseas territory), so does China (Hong Kong and Taiwan). Let them figure out in their own way how to work out between their majority and minority. This is what US or any sovereign country irrespective of system will expect. If China tries to teach USA how to treat and respect its minorities and overseas territory they won’t agree, same is China.
> This misses the point, same as Linus (which i honestly find surprising)... 80 width lines is a target to try to achieve _naturally_,

The post is about changing code style formatting rules for code that goes into the Linux kernel. Not guidelines, rules. The tools in question, I presume to be a linter or formatter, complained noisily about line length prior to the adoption of this change.

It's not about someone misinterpreting guides as absolutes. It's very much about absolutes, in this case, that serve as guides.

The Tunisian army was mostly impartial, but there were instances where they actively protected protestors from the police (which gained them a lot of good faith).

And there was this rumor that Ben Ali and his close family were "tricked" by the palace guard and the military to leave the country "temporarily" because protestors were going to be closing in (which never happened).

But that is exactly my point, supporters in key power positions decided that it was too much trouble to keep Ben Ali around.
Glad to hear so!

About the later part: yes, I actually agree!

I think the biggest game-changer for me is writing down my plan for the next day in the evening.

Also, using extensions like TomatoTimer to make sure I don't get distracted by impulsive browsing. It's amazing how frequently I'll go through a cycle of browsing to HN, getting blocked, browsing to Reddit, getting blocked, and so on before realising what I'm doing on autopilot. That happens a lot when I've got something boring to do, not so much when I'm coding.

Otherwise, I think others have covered it well, regarding eating, moving and sleeping.
Why does one exclude the other? Given their history they might demand money and sell your data.
It’s absolutely not. I don’t follow anything political, neither Obama nor Trump. Among 1200+ people I follow are all from AI/ML/biotech/space research. Most of them are academics.
