I hate the word choice here. It completely conflates the important public health activity, which is for the benefit of the people (though requiring careful attention to privacy concerns) with plain old police detective work. As this framing takes hold, it will do great damage to public health initiatives, which are already struggling with lack of resources and support.
start doing competitive programming as early as you can , enroll in ICPC https://icpc.baylor.edu/ and join competitive programming weekly group at you school (or start one if you don't find any)

this is a good book for preparation https://www.amazon.com/Competitive-Programming-3rd-Steven-Ha...

participate in contests on https://onlinejudge.org/, topcoder or similar on weekly basis (you will hear a lot about leetcode as a hard prerequisite to getting a job these days, but it's trivial for people who do competitive programming)

you will learn much more from doing that for a couple of years than any college can teach you
Yeah, I'm not sure I agree with that. The Monty Haff problem is about changing a choice on the basis of additional information.

The point the parent is hinting at which can apply although I'm not prepared to argue for it as a general rule is the following: If you are in a not good situation (and e.g. you're torn about changing your job as an example given in the OP), I can believe that making any reasonable change is better to just plodding along with the status quo.

In a similar vein--and I've run into this a bunch with project management--making a decision (any decision!) is often better than a status quo of deferring and studying for longer.
What if all children start off as autistic and gradually develop situational and emotional awareness? Some never do.
Some time back, when contact tracing was first being discussed, I mentioned that State level actors would love the data being generated by these programs.

Several people disagreed, either commenting that they already have this capability, or that they have no reason to use it.

And here we are today. The right to assemble falling victim to a tragedy of the commons, justifying greater erosion of our rights.
There's a pretty good argument for making Google Maps a utility, but not for a long while yet. Maps adds new features at a pretty impressive clip. Once it's in maintenance mode in a decade or two, it should be nationalized ;)
My Beef with Bitcoin (and Myself)
I've been using craco. I really commend the creators but it's a project that shouldn't exist. I shouldn't have to hack the officially supported solution to do simple things like provide my SSL cert to Webpack or tweak some Babel config.
And why on earth would you say that?
Works for design, not necessarily for lithography
I'm just saying through experience, the OpenPose people are very litigious and ornery. I think the project is a good one. But I also know what lies on the other side of the line.
One in three drivers admits eating customer food. Why should I every consider using this service?
Same here, I spent so much time making semantic html that felt great but in the end was never consumed semantically by anyone or anything.
This whole situation sucks because most people are rightly outraged about police violence, but their anger is totally misdirected. These businesses had nothing to do with the death of George Floyd.

I live in Portland, Oregon now. Without going into too many details, we have an expensive pension program. Many feel that the pension program is too generous, and there has been a lot of thought put into how we can fully fund both pensions and everything else. Last year there was a bill in the Oregon Senate (SB1049) that proposed some modest changes to how pensions work. It passed with bipartisan support, and the public unions went nuts. They said they'd never support a candidate who voted for SB1049.

Last month we had our primaries. The most important primary was the Democratic primary for the Oregon Secretary of State. If the governor were to step down for any reason (to take a cabinet position in the Biden administration, for example), the SOS becomes governor. Someone who opposed SB1049 joined the race at the last minute, got over half a million dollars of union money, outspent her candidate, and won the election.

This is just one of many examples. Even though the unions are only spending a couple of million dollars per year in Oregon, they're really smart about it, and as such, they get what they want. In the Secretary of State race they hit a home run. For half a million dollars, they pushed their preferred candidate through and sent a message that if you oppose them in any way, it will be a career limiting move.

The reason I mentioned that is because I think it is a good contrast to what we're seeing today. With smart leadership, we would have a better chance of solving this problem. But people are enraged and not thinking clearly. And there's no reason to believe that these riots are going to be more successful than the Baltimore riots, the Ferguson riots, the Oakland riots, or even the Rodney King riots.
I can only second what ht85 said in a sibling comment.

I have the same complaint, but this is definitely possible using e.g. react-app-rewired.

Adding custom webpack loader rules is as simple as replacing the calls to react-scripts with calls to react-app-rewired and adding a .js file with your customizations.

The team I'm thinking of was responsible for structured data ingest/extraction -- business hours and such things, but not all data.
Police officers, given that they have the power of life or death over others' lives, should be held to a higher standard, not a lower one. Apparently, this is still extremely controversial in America, where our culture insists that it be the opposite way: hold police to a lower standard, let them steal, beat, rape, and murder almost at will. In a sick society like this, one shouldn't wonder why the masses are cheering on the burning of police stations and courthouses. In a society like this, police are just the biggest gang and frankly, any action against them is defensible ethically, if not legally.
In my state in my home country, the police force is divided into traffic, patrol, crime, detective work and so on. Different roles require different qualifications and as such attract different people. Bribery is common. Detective work is the least lucrative and is a form of punishment for upstanding officers. The consequence of that is it’s the least corrupt of all the branches, it’s genuinely interesting work and the morale is high. Traffic is the most corrupt but it has the least consequence anyway.
Thanks, I think that's a better term.
I wasn't there so I can't argue with your experience, but the fact that engineering is so heavily involved seems like the crux of the issue.
These are fundamentally product and data management issues.
Why would an engineer need to be involved in updating a phone number?
Sure, in some cases a support issue may call into question fundamental architecture issues and require engineering to get involved.
But a good product management process can look at the volume of support requests and say "90% of these could be solved with features X,Y,Z and training a support team."
My odds would be pretty bad cause I still think a startup like this has like a 1 in 20 chance of succeeding. Plus to be frank I doubt YC is good enough about high tech hardware stuff (that isn't a 100% hype play like Cruise) to be able to add much value, but that's another story :-)
As a veteran this hits me particularly hard. This kind of force goes beyond most uses of force I personally used in Afghanistan and Iraq, actual fighting being the exception. In fact, I’m pretty sure I’d be brought up on charges if we treated nonviolent people the way these videos portray.
Is E5 mid-level? I made <400k at Facebook and that was after very substantial stock appreciation and a “discretionary equity” extra grant bonus.
This is not fair at all.

Protest turned to riots, literally burning down police stations. Police action wasn't until much later, and they were perfectly fine with the daytime, civil unrest. During the evening, the 'protestors' went home and the agitators came out to fight police, and that's that.

When people are looting every store on a street, the police have no choice but to physically move in. There are very few options for anyone at that point.
> a lot of the developers I've observed are very bad at drawing coherent software boundaries

That's a very good point. Designing small components probably requires more effort and can also cause a lot of harm if done incorrectly.
They tried kneeling and it was super effective!!
OK so why the negative connotation as if this was a bad thing to do? It was a precautionary step like the rest of the countries of the world were doing. Would you want to have a leader who ignores to learn from the shit happening to your neighbours and eventually becomes the leader who let thousands die? Look at what's happening in Sweden and UK who reacted too late.
It's really ironic that only "stable" distros were affected by this, and that distros with software closer to bleeding-edge worked fine through it.
GitHub wasn't the only service responsible for replacing Sourceforge. Lots of open source projects used to be hosted on Bitbucket before Git gained total domination among the version control systems.
There are also numerous people which promote the excessive use of small classes and methods like for example Kent Beck or Robert Martin.
As always, there probably is no "right" answer, it really depends on context.

Agreed, I was listing what I think being a good cop should entail, but being successful in the current system probably rewards group think much more than independent thought.
As of today, the president is designating antifascist protestors as a terrorist organization.
No, it doesn't. Go is popular because of the names and organization behind it, as well as the fact that it's useful for a lot of people despite the lack of generics.

Certainly, a lot of people are attracted to Rob Pike's rather idiosyncratic preferences, tastes, and nostalgia for the early days of Unix, which are on display in a lot of Go's design decisions, like the lack of generics. But lots of random people have preferences and nostalgia for all sorts of things; we usually only pay attention to such things when it's a person with a famous pedigree who has them.
For $35 most of the scope you see are going to be repurposed sound card chips acting as a digitizer. They work ok-ish but you get what you pay for.

My big problem with a USB oscilloscope is that they are only ground referenced through the USB ground to your computer and if you measure something with a different ground reference you can blow up the USB port on your computer.

It’s sad that reporters need to start wearing ballistic face shields and vests to report on this in the US. It’s going to look and feel like watching reporters when they were in war zones in Iraq.

I'm thinking the Europeans (at least the ones that did this) got it right by subsidizing payrolls so employers could just keep on paying staff as if they were working. Much simpler to coordinate payments to a smaller number of endpoints, none of the hassle of trying to process orders of magnitude more unemployment claims, etc.

But, then I suppose it would be an obstacle to companies using the opportunity to permanently trim staff. Hmm.
I like Next.js quite a bit but I don't need SSR. To expand upon my use case a bit: I need a way to create dozens of small SPAs in an enterprise environment maintained by people who are not front-end experts. CRA fits the bill almost perfectly except it makes certain Webpack/Babel configs unavailable that make my life very difficult. The token response from the CRA team tends to be: we don't think you need this, fork or eject.

Eventually I'll end up maintaining a company fork. It's more work for me but that's life. It's really just the dogmatic attitude of the CRA team that irks me.
Show HN: k3sup ('ketchup') – bootstrap Kubernetes with k3s over SSH
Get off your high horse. They did already have an equivalent technology.

> either commenting that they already have this capability

DHS was using drones to track protesters in Minnesota. Most large cities already contract with a private company that flies a Cessna in circles over the city taking high resolution pictures. Odds are better than not that there were Stingrays in the area of the protest and that there are private contractors tracking social media updates and passing the data long to the local Fusion Centers.

Yes, we should be concerned about any new tool, but there is a risk to any technology that it will be used against us. The more important question is: is the "juice worth the squeeze"?
I wanted to point out this thing because I'm in the middle of migrating my mail server and wanted to improve the whole setup by using chasquid and a set of dkim tools [1] that I've forked an improved to include ed25519-sha256. Unfortunately pretty much nobody has implemented RFC8463 yet, and my DNS provider doesn't allow me to use RSA 2048bit DKIM keys because they have a stupid limit on the TXT field value :(

I'm not sure why this is getting downvoted. The second paragraph literally says that:

>The rise was mainly due to government payments to help Americans cope with the fallout of the Covid-19 global pandemic
Agreed!

The intent of React is to drive new developers away from the building blocks of the web. And it has definitely succeeded at that. The way its ecosystem has grown all over the place, I find very passionate developers that swear by it.

But you never know, every technology at some point of time becomes a luddite’s take and then it’d become hard to even consider React. Someday may be near as well, given that it’s already more than 10 years old now… but then that would also be a good day for open web standards and simplicity. ;-)
I passed the Triplebyte quiz with no CS classes at 18, failed automated review
How did this come about, is it the consequence of an armed society, or something else unique to Americans?
I'd say choose an area to specialize in. Whether it's security, graphics, drones, something else...find what you like and don't just gravitate toward AI/machine learning/blockchain since that's what's hot.
Instead of blurring you should add a significant amount of extraneous information (random noise) and then mosaic (downsample).

If you’d like to have a smooth looking censored image you can then blur the mosaic result to have a smooth transition between the censored and original image.

If you simply blur or simply downsample there’s a significant ability to recover data or iterate over data to recover likely inputs. Other posts have discussed deconvolution, but think of a downsample as a hash - you can build a rainbow table of inputs, easily for numbers, with more difficulty for faces. If you have a limited pool of “suspects” this technique can work well. Just as with hashing, you should add a salt to the image before downsampling or blurring to make recovery of the original input more difficult. In this case the “salt” is random noise.
I would not expect it to be authenticity and complicated philosophy or self.

It may simply be, that communicating with autistic takes much more effort from neurotypical people, is more frustrating. Eventually they stop trying and putting that effort on. Just as communicating with other is tiring for autistic, except neurotypicals have plenty of neurotypicals around to communicate with.

I dont really want to guess, knowing nothing about parent. But the issues in communication with different functional autistic people I had observed that broke it down where things related to social interactions. For example, inability to imagine yourself in other peoples situation can make autistic look selfish and unfair (when enforcing rules for example). It also makes it hard to impossible to strike compromise as opponents situation is not taken into account by autistic and is perceived as "illogical".

Autistic can be overstepping boundaries without really knowing, making people uncomfortable as they have to defend those boundaries. Can be insulting or controlling without having bad intention, which forces other people to react to it in "defense" or leave for own sanity.
That is not the same feature.
It requires you to always add your fix in a new commit add opposed to amending the commits and maintain a clear purposed commit list.

I like your proposal, but policies can't be shaped purely with respect to the grand scheme of things. All police reform proposals in the near future are going to face a simple and important question: will this proposal, if implemented, compromise their ability to stop hooligans from burning down my neighborhood? Reformers are going to have to learn to say "no, and here's why" rather than "you are a lost cause" or "racism is more important".
There are tons of dashboards and side projects, can you be more precise?

Note that this is just for taste, not smell. You're not going to lick it and taste chocolate or bread.

Having a neutral source of the 5 tastes is helpful for cooking. Sugar, salt, citric acid, and mono sodium glutamate cover the "desirable" flavors well-- bitterness is best delivered by some ingredient that also has interesting smells, like cocoa powder or okra.

There are other compounds that are close to tastes, but don't operate using tastebuds or olfaction. Pungent and cooling sensations from chili peppers and mint are well know, and there are several other chemicals that have unique sensations on the tongue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taste#Further_sensations_and_t...
An idea that's been kicking around in my head is a widget with an e-ink display for hackerspaces, cafés, and other multi-user spaces that displays the a password-of-the-day along with a qrcode for easy login. Heck, include an NFC chip that hands out application/vnd.wfa.wsc objects as well.

I'm not sure how useful it would be beyond the cool factor, of course … the cafés in my area don't seem to change their wifi passwords often at all, so I assume they're not very concerned about leeching. The typical practice of printing it on a receipt or writing it on the board next to the soup-of-the-day is probably hard to beat.
I'm pretty autistic, but the funny thing is I don't keep friendships because I get bored, not them. I was a complete recluse during most of my time at university. I decided I wanted to mate with women when I was about 25 so started to make myself more "marketable". The first stage is being able to make friends.

First thing is the way you look. People like you more if you're good looking. First step is to make sure you're in excellent shape. That means lean to the extend that you can see your cheeks, abdominal muscles and veins on your forearms are prominent. Get yourself a pull up bar and start doing chin ups and press ups every single day.

Then once you're in shape you find a clothing style that works for you. Stick to classic. Don't dress like a child. Wear smart and expensive shoes. Aim to always dress slightly better than you should be at any event, but just slightly. Groom well. Smell good. Grow a beard if you can but keep it very well groomed. Shave your head if you're going bald.

You might think this sounds silly so far, but looking good is very, very important.

People will compliment you on your appearance. Take the compliments. Thank them. Do not automatically compliment them back.

Second thing is to work on your personality. You will be smarter than 95% of people you meet. There's no doubt about it. You will know more and care more about most subjects that come up. Do not under any circumstances use this to "one up" people. The number one rule you need to keep in mind is to be positive. Do NOT tell people they are doing something wrong. Do NOT tell people you don't like something. Always continue a conversation in a positive way. If they mention a band you don't like, mention a band you do like. If they mention a technique that is suboptimal, mention a technique you have found works for you (not "is better").

If you employ this positive outlook along with a broad knowledge and range of interests you will be a person that people like. Hope it helps.

Also, if you are willing to try drugs, MDMA might help you. I wouldn't recommend alcohol or cannabis to anyone, but MDMA is worth it.
Disagree. Skip a CS degree and be instantly skipped over for coveted jobs. Sure you’ll still get a job. Ask me how I know.

Maybe this has some applicability for personal, individual decisions. But to translate this to larger, more important things, affecting way more people?

Take great caution.

If you find yourself to be a leader, CEO, president, or whatever, facing really hard, ambiguous decisions, sometimes the right thing is not to act, yet this is very hard to do and resist the temptation to act. We end up disincentivizing leaders from hesitating to act, when that might be the appropriate thing, because it might be seen as weakness or indecision.

All too often the bias towards action (for anything but personal decisions) is a quick way to get in a lot of trouble.
