Reminds me of Akin's Laws of Spacecraft Design[0]:

> 30. (von Tiesenhausen's Law of Engineering Design) If you want to have a maximum effect on the design of a new engineering system, learn to draw. Engineers always wind up designing the vehicle to look like the initial artist's concept.

Poetry does a good job of managing/publishing a package without having to custom-code a setup.py. I have a blog post about it but I don't want to spam. Poetry works well for a package of average complexity, and it's configured entirely in pypyroject.toml. I don't have experience publishing something complicated with it, though.
I always try to support bad things.
He's says "you've got to dominate them" like 5 times in the first 10 minutes of the call and he's not distinguishing or nuancing between the different types of protesters or allowing for a range of response. It's all "radical left" and "ANTIFA" to hear him tell it. He doesn't given a single acknowledgment in the whole call that these protests are happening directly because of systemic, pervasive police brutality and therefore some sensitivity and humbleness might also be in order here in responding to the situation. So yeah, chilling.
For me Science Fiction is about exploring the consequences of technology on society, culture and the individual. It takes some scientific technological concepts and explores their implications.

Star Trek does this is spades. We see the dangers of automates war machines that lack a moral context for their operations, the consequences of ecological manipulation gone wrong, we are shown how absolute power corrupts absolutely, and the social and personal cost of subsuming violent passions within a rigorous rationality. That’s just the start, it’s hard to think of a single idea or trope of SF that Star Trek hasn’t explored many times over in its several generations-long run.

Meanwhile Star Wars is Kung fu wizards in an interplanetary Wild West. I don’t think there’s a single exploration of the impact of technology on society or the individual in the whole thing, although I know little of the extensive Clone Wars material. That’s not a criticism, They’re just different things.
A thought experiment regarding the "just quit" argument:

You're placed in a room with a person who is raving about homicidal fantasies. A gun is placed in the middle of the room. You don't think they should have access to this gun because of their statements. Is the solution to:

1) leave the room

2) try to get control of the gun before they do

Facebook is a tool, the same as that gun.
What is the point of fabricating this attack?
Nice of you to just straight up admit you're putting words into other people's mouths. You should judge people based on their actions, not your fan-fiction.
All of history is a slow march towards more equably distributed power. At least after the initial consolidation of power in, for example, the Roman Empire.

Specifically as to the military: My country's military went from worst-of-history to has-50-helicopters-but-none-that-fly in two big steps: First losing a hot war, then winning a cold one.

Plenty of countries have drastically reduced military spending after the Cold War ended. European police has also mostly avoided US-style militarisation. The UK Police used to hang petty criminals every second Tuesday. Nowadays, they don't even carry guns anymore.
I don't think it's a problem with cameras. I think it's a problem with autopilot. We don't know exactly how it's coded, but lots of other adaptive cruise control systems don't try to look for stationary objects at all.
Sure, but if you're going to say that Twitter should not do any fact checking, then they have to hold all users to the same ToS. Twitter is clearly not holding Trump to the same standard as everyone else for 'news-worthiness' reasons, but that means Twitter needs to then do some other sort of policing.
"Twitter is wrong"

You can stop right there.
Yes it will, autopilot just keeps the heading and the altitude.

There may be other sensors onboard that help with detections (it is a lot more expensive after-all) but the autopilot control system does no such thing.

Even with all the sensors onboard, the 747 would most likely run into something without assistance, in fact I've seen a few cases of this on Air Disasters.
One example is England up until the 19th century, which had a well-established court system but no formal police departments, just unpaid constables, local militias, etc. I think it was probably similar in many other parts of Europe. I'm not an expert on the history by any means, though.
> Actually, I'd be interested in an alternative web where ingenuity and risk-taking would be utterly forbidden. Just HTML, and a very basic subset at that. No Javascript at all, no CSS.

Definitely. A lot of the "ingenuity and risk-taking" are efforts to make the web something it was never indented to be (e.g. a binary(ish) application runtime/delivery platform) that has lots of downsides.
We may be able to achieve deterring physical escalation with serious penalties, but I don’t know if we will be able to solve the real possibility of the police community being rotten.

What do these cops do when these situations happen and there is no video recording of the encounter? They all back each other up and write up some bogus police report justifying the need for force. That’s exactly what would have happened if we didn’t get the recording this time around. These four cops would have straight lied.

Let’s say we effectively deter them from doing so with liberal use of cameras. I think if they are really rotten, they will find ways to drum up other charges.

There are two paths of discussion here, one path assumes the cops are mostly good and do bad things in very intense, escalated situations. The other is they are rotten, and do something bad in any situation such as wrongfully detain, concoct charges, forge evidence, or justify a violent escalation.

If we’re dealing with a rotten police community, where they operate with a clear power complex and mafia—esque collusion amongst each other, then we must confront that word, systemic.

Violence is just one by-product of a systemic problem. Lying, manipulation, imposition of unrestricted authority in any/all contexts, and so on.

If systemically there is a 20% prevalence of rotten behavior, numbers straight out of my ass of course, we’re talking 1 in 5 interactions are tainted with the public. We have to find out what the real number is, because I do believe that number exists and it ain’t below 10%.

Asking the police to provide us this data is about the same as asking the CCP for police data. We need serious transparency into this organization.
Tesla's marketing, particularly of autopilot, has been criminally misleading IMHO.
What's the scam? They provided reasonable forecasts, what more do you want for a weather app.
It's not clear if you're missing some context. Nobody mentioned the government, and Troy Hunt is the owner of Have I Been Pwned - he's pretty authoritative and trustworthy when it comes to breaches, mainly because he has the largest dataset (as far as I am aware) of known breached accounts, so can connect dots that others cannot.
In case anyone else has Global Entry, the Global Entry ID card is Real ID compliant.
That can't be right, because salt water freezes at a point a few degrees below fresh water. Now, 0F is defined where fresh water freezes.
Debian used to be a necessity. The informational complexity of an OS installation was defined by the skill of the package managers. You would rely on them to make smart decisions, which would be codified in the debian/ directory alongside the original source, in the dpkg sources themselves.

All that feels by the wayside nowadays. The information about my site installation is all in a set of ansible playbooks. They could blast their way through an installation of any modern Linux OS and the result would look like an horrendous mess to a sysadmin from the 90s, but who cares? It’s still as reproducible as the carefully tended garden that was a Debian installation of the old days, but with the advantage that whenever the install drifts into instability you can just nuke everything and rebuild from scratch.

In fact, it’s all so automated, if you aren’t regularly blasting everything away and reinstalling, you’re doing it wrong.

No longer do I have a gigabyte or more of backups representing my ossified Debian install as a fallback. Instead I have a few kB of YAML and ansible to build everything.

Case in point. Debian 10 ships with LXC 3. If I want LXC 4 I just script the build and installation. The script is what needs backing up. The OS is disposable. In the past I might have taken care to ./configure to install in /opt but why bother? It’s more work (LD_LIBRARY_PATH needs setting) so just blast it into /use/bin and don’t lose sleep over treading on Debian’s carefully pedicured toes. If it doesn’t work out, reimage and try something else. It’s wonderfully transient.

I miss the old days, but I embrace the controlled chaos, volatility, and dynamism of the future. I can do what I want instead of what, in the last, was carefully curated for me by expert Debian maintainers. A bazaar to their cathedral, sort of.
> Toyota says the system could also fail if the vehicle is wobbling, whatever that means.

Strange phrasing but they're most likely referring to cross-winds, such that the camera (or the computer behind it, rather) cannot determine whether a movement was a vehicle impinging on the path of travel, versus a momentary shift of angle of attack of the camera vehicle.
It absolutely is not.

If you're a major figure in international politics intentionally spouting actual lies, then your lies should be exposed.

If you're encouraging violence your posts on a private medium then that private company has every right to remove that content from their privately owned platform.

This post said that they randomly "decided" to start enforcing the policies. They've been enforcing them on everyone, just not Trump because he has demonstrated time and again that he will threaten and penalize any company or organization that doesn't act as a completely subordinate organization to him personally.

Twitter has clearly had enough and decided to make him aware that he isn't a special and unique snowflake. He doesn't get any special treatment. He doesn't get to encourage violence. He doesn't get to outright lie to the public.

If he doesn't like those rules he can go off to 4chan, or dailystormer, or wherever else he feels sufficiently safe and coddled.
I strongly disagree with the notion of "dangerous" advice, especially when given in good faith. I even prefaced my post with a disclaimer regarding this practice.

I could pose a counterargument that not investing aggressively in finance from a young age is the most dangerous thing you could do to your future self if you hope to maintain an equal or superior standard of living.

That's likely a part of the extension, I'm sure.
What's worse is that it didn't detect the person that was clearly on the car's lane.
Should people write programs differently than before, or just use existing concurrency constructs and things will execute with better parallelism?
None of what you said is factually accurate. We don't pay enlistees in the armed services high salaries, and they're usually physically fit. No criminal record? Depends on the department since each sets its own standards. Expensive training? Many departments have academy training that's 8 weeks. If a department uses a longer 6 month training cycle, the average tuition cost is around $7K.
> Bollox. Gnome/Mate Display-Manager does an excellent job. If you're still using X11 manual configs than what do you expect..

Have you actually ever tried to set up a PC with two NVIDIA GPUs running simultaneously and monitors connected to each of them? I believe you haven't.

> "Resume after suspend in Linux is unstable and oftentimes doesn't work." - Bollox.

And it's bullox because you say so? So, a sample size of one?

> - "X.org is largely outdated" - duh... the whole list on this topic is dated issues resolved by WM.

None of the issues listed there can even be solved by a WM.

> "Adding custom monitor modelines in Linux is a major PITA." - Is it? a one line command? and how do you do it on Windows? oh you can't...

In Windows there's a GUI for doing that for AMD, NVIDIA and Intel drivers. In Linux you have to create an X.org configuration file with monitor scanlines and run several non-trivial commands from console. It's not done "using one command", so you're basically lying.

> "Applications development is a major PITA" - this is ridiculous.

Because why?

For those interested (or thinking a citation is needed), here is a summary from Snopes:

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-server-tied-to-russi...

They conclude that the claim of the "Trump private back channel to Alfa bank" is "Unproven", as of 2017 at least:

"In March 2017, CNN reported that the issue was still under investigation by the FBI, but nothing substantive had yet been turned up"
I'm reminded of the quote from Linus:

"Real men don’t use backups, they post their stuff on a public ftp server and let the rest of the world make copies."

Real programmers don't use persistent storage, they just rely on physical reality in general.
You do realize that your argument works against you, right? Assume the pronouns refer to the protesting workers instead of the organization and see what happens.
The original deadline was May 11, 2008. The implementation timeline of Real ID has been long to say the least.

When I teach my kids to say "please" when they ask for things and "thank you" when they receive them, am I training them to be little manipulative sociopaths?

There are social rules that many people get told in childhood, or learn by observation. Those who didn't learn them, for whatever reason, may benefit from being told explicitly now.

Also, don't worry. Out of 100 people who read "make sure you're in excellent shape", 99 won't. And the remaining one is probably not a sociopath, and will not become one by following this rule.

No, not when you pass Voter Id laws, and then shutter DMVs in areas that your ideology has always sought to disenfranchise.

"Alabama passed a strict voter-ID law and then closed 31 DMV offices in the state."

I agree, but one friendly nit-pick: capitalized "Anonymous" is the hacktivist thing, and lower-case "anonymous" is the ordinary adjective. People acting as Anonymous are also anonymous, but not everyone acting anonymously is Anonymous.
The 'new's here is that the deadline was pushed a year further out due to Covid.
It doesn't say anything about the limitations of cameras. It says a lot about the current software limitations of Autopilot. As does the owner's manual:

> Traffic-Aware Cruise Control cannot detect all objects and may not brake/decelerate for stationary vehicles.
I couldn’t tell from the article, but is the 3.36 loss on unit economics, or the loss of the company as a whole per order?

Both are false equivocations, and a bad analogy.

Blowing up a bus full of kids achieves no political goal in no scenario, nor should it.

Racism is racism, although reprehensible, is protected from government censorship and prior restraint. Companies providing for-profit platforms aren't the government and can do whatever they want since the first amendment doesn't apply to them.

If people really wanted free speech, they wouldn't popularize a company's platform but would pay a little to support and use a non-profit public commons platform that was sensibly/lightly regulated.
But google isn't pushing, it's baiting. And what you get is all websites look and act the same. A lot of creativity is falling through the cracks. And it's not just google. Why did we need og: tags and twitter:cards when meta tags are already there
So it's you who should decide whose expression is valid?

Stay home, Facebook should not be retaining people who undermine operational decisions that are consistent with the principles of society, and sensitive to changes in executive policy, because they feel special.

Furthermore, the communist agitators who are making the arsons and vandalism happen, they don't care what you say. If they set upon your workplace, it's burning all the same; those are the people the President was talking about, and I hope you learn to love them because they will be arsoning your city just the same whether you grovel for them or not. They don't care about black people, they just want it to burn.

> Everyone, right, left, and center agreed there was a serious problem.

Sadly, no they didn't.

It took until the pictures of uninvolved white women bleeding from rubber bullets for a whole lot of people to say "Holy shit. That could happen to ME!"

In addition, you had videos of cops with their badge numbers covered and press getting arrested.

These protests threw the fact that the police do this all the time and expect to get away with it into the faces of people who don't normally see it.

It also showed that certain police departments can handle this and really do function better thus undermining the arguments of police departments who refuse to change.
Ok, I think I agree with that specific case, but I think we can try broadening it: should there be external consequences if I and someone else discuss something?
