It is a complicated issue. And quite frankly, I think the policing issues are a flash point triggering unrest over the deeper seated inequality in our society. So it is hard to address the issue directly as the actual number of deaths are not very prevalent. But to answer your question, here is an article comparing DOJ activity under Obama and Trump:

> there are currently thousands of 'news' stories about the unfortunate Floyd's demise but little over time of many other similar incidents regardless of race, situation etc

This seems disingenous and actually a bit insensitive. I'm a white man, but I know white privilege exists. Everytime a black person leaves the home and sees a police officer they get PTSD not because they're guilty but because they think no matter what the cop thinks they already are guilty for something or will try and pin something on them, and it's not some irrational fear, it's seated in decades of them doing JUST that.

Common examples of white privilege include the following phrases:

- White lives matter too

- All lives matter

- "But what about black on black crime"

- Not all white people....

- I'm not privileged, I'm poor

- White people are discriminated against too...

Black lives matter isn't saying only Black lives matter, but that Black lives matter too, as in they're not animals like they're treated by police officers, and if you don't think it happens then you're simply blind or you don't care because you're prejudiced or showing blatant racism.
Police officers are humans, believe it or not. Some of them are bad and that will always be true. Regarding your unnecessary insult at the end: Grow up.
>Soviet posters have always kept pace with the times. They created images of role models for generations of Soviet workers and soldiers, exposed international warmongers and fought for world peace.

Ah yes, the peaceful non-imperial USSR, fighting against those international warmongers. That's the Soviet Union I know and love

Not insightful at all.

> after all these years and with all development in surveillance tech distinguish between peaceful demonstrators and rioters. One could almost believe that they have no interest in making that distinction.

The thing is that they can. That's a very deliberate tactic, down to planting of provocators.

If you been watching what's going on around the world, the allegations of that, including provocator planting, followed pretty much every major demonstration event.

It's naive, if not silly, to use that "hey, he started it first!" argument at the time when the fact of confrontation happening is already obvious.

The talk now should not be who started the violence, but how to end it, a peace treaty to say.

Take home pay certainly isn't the metric that is improved here, but rather pay per hour. How many hours per year does a Silicon Valley tech worker work? Absolute pay e.g. in Germany is significantly less, but then the absolute hours worked in a full time job are probably 800 hours less per year than in Silicon Valley: 6 weeks of paid holiday are standard in tech here, plus e.g. 2 weeks paid sick leave because of the flu, plus 4 weeks of paid sick leave with the kids, and a work week is actually 40 hours (or less).
Yeah, agreed about vimwiki. I've been using it as a knowledge base for years, for quick snippets, ideas, article/book synopsis and notes etc. And the fact that you can interlink them conveniently is a big upside.

A question about vimwikigraph while I'm at it - does it work with the markdown syntax? For instance, VimwikiCheckLinks doesn't work for me at all. And the HTML export isn't supported, although that's a minor issue since there are a million tools which can parse markdown into anything.
I used PyCharm for a while, and got frustrated at all the tons of things that it tries to do "smartly". There is a shitton of buttons everywhere, and I ended up using breakpoint() anyway because I couldn't figure out how the debugger works properly -- and it doesn't always work (e.g. it didn't break when I was using GPU, for some reason). I'm sure it's excellent, but I just can't be bothered learning all of that. Same for git/github GUI, I prefer atom's, it's so much easier to use.

Ask HN: How do you feel about current events?
Using violence to achieve political goals is not in itself a "hallmark of fascism". From the Gordon Riots, to union riots, to militant suffragettes, history is littered with examples of political change that was expedited by violence.

In the UK, the British Union of Fascists organised a march in London in 1936 and were countered by ten times as many people organised by anarchist, communist, socialist and Jewish groups. The ensuing violence sent an extremely clear message that fascism is not welcome in the country.

I should note that most of this is rather subjective. It's a personal blog so that's totally fine, but I don't think it should sway you doing your own analysis. I've owned nearly every MBP release/bump since 2007 and the 16" MBP is by far the best IMHO and certainly a huge jump up from the 2016-2018 era disasters. Also as a touch typist, I was worried the huge trackpad might be an impediment, but it hasn't turned out to be so I can only assume we have different hand posture.
Wsl 2 is incredible. Got a 1000 dollars dell desktop and it is insanely faster than my Mac. Windows has improved a lot, and Linux based development on windows is a lot easier now.
5 years ago I would have quit a job if they asked me to use windows.
Macos is still marginally better but not worth the cost IMHO.
I find this tweet about how Google approaches web standards illuminating. To quote:

> 4. oops, too late, that would break the web

Not baiting, just pointing out that prob there's more than race when it comes to discrimination. Social class matters too.
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?

How are people thinking they will get better police service (or any police service) by reducing police budgets? Most of said budget is spent on pensions anyway from the breakdowns I’ve seen. It’s not like cops are rolling in it. Even if you rake in overtime you still have to work during that time.

> Assuming the terms and prices are fair and no "bad practices" are going on (no excessive EULA/DRM, no ads, no enforced subscriptions, no online requirement, etc.), how is that immoral?

The point is that proprietary software is inherently that kind of bad practice - it means users can't fix bugs they encounter, or can't share their bugfixes. This is particularly vexing when the vendor also disclaims all warranties on the software, which is usual practice - reserving the right to sell something broken and unfixable.

Compare e.g. car right-to-repair laws that require manufacturers to make their repair manuals available.

It is definitely not clear. You are correct.

I myself had written a tool like yours for a similar purpose except I needed it done quick'n'dirty, so I wrote it in C with GTK and just used a grid of toggle buttons :D

It all went fine until I needed a variable width modern-looking font, so I wrote a convertor from BDF to the proprietory format the video chip used (vertical middle-endian scan lines arranged in a weird order) and generated the BDF using gbdfed or FontForge, I don't remember which one. I must admit the convertor was horrible :D

Ask HN: What is the best way to record a terminal session?
I am writing some documentation for our product. In it, we need to document several terminal command sequences, like what you see on this Cypress guide - https://docs.cypress.io/guides/getting-started/installing-cypress.html#npm-install

Whilst I can record it all in video, the problem I find is that you get several steps in, then make a minor typo which is in your video unless you re-record or do a bunch of editing.

It made me wonder if there are any tools that allow you to easily 'fake' the process (e.g. a web app that lets you type in the commands you want to emulate, then have those print out one after the other)?

If anyone knows of something, or can think of a better solution, that would be great!
OK, I'd missed that. That this is primarily a Cisco misconfiguration issue didn't really come across in the Cert bulletin.

I say, US is not a place where smart people have courage to dissent, being afraid to be booed, and outshouted by the "be different" collective
You live in a country with civilian political control of the police. Police miss behaving/corruption/brutality/public execution are political problems. A mayor/governor can sack the police and they will hand in their badges and walk away.

The reason it doesn’t happen is because society allows the political to not hold the police accountable.

There is no possibility of sacked police execution a coup , it isn’t an armed confrontation problem
People with guns lose fights too. Cold Arms are easier to assess and much easier to run from. Who said anything about a crime that's like asking in the current regime cocaine users what crime did they commit. I'm not suggesting arresting them. I want their weapons. They aren't using them to defend against tyranny so what good are they.

+1 for WSL 2. I'm a huge advocate of it at work where people are very pro-Linux. I have noticed a few issues with it that don't make sense seeing as it's meant to have a full Linux Kernel (such as sockets not appearing) but that could be Ubuntu-20.04 being the one at fault to be fair :)

Interestingly enough, when I needed fonts/sprites again in a couple of years, I resorted to a set of multi-layer GIMP files with a set of rulers and grids which I would export into the X bitmap format (which is a text format consisting of a bunch of C constants). (I didn't need to dynamically generate text on that project, just fixed pre-prepared strings.)
This doesn't work because laterally moving obstacles can enter the roadway within your stopping distance buffer. A self-driving car MUST be able to identify obstacles, especially moving obstacles. Your stopping distance at highway speed may be equivalent to one football field, but you may be able to anticipate obstacles if you identify laterally moving objects before they enter the roadway.

Your suggested scheme for driving offers zero protection from cross traffic cutting in front of the autonomous vehicle, whether at a stoplight or otherwise.

Moreover, not all non-driveable space is created equal, so if the vehicle has to swerve to avoid a collision, it should be able to identify the difference between, say, a clearing, a pedestrian, and a pond.

These are totally basic principles with which any driver (and especially any motorcyclist) would have no trouble. The problem with your imperative statement is that it produces a pointlessly elegant, practically bad solution.
I lost my sense of smell for about 6 months following a bad cold/ something flu-y. Initially I didn;t really notice - I wasn't enjoying food much, but it was when I was painting a room and realised I couldn't smell paint that I really noticed.

I remember when it came back. Someone made me a cup of tea (I'm British) and I rhapsodised for about 5 minutes about what an excellent cup of tea it was. Up until then, I couldn't really detect any difference between tea and coffee.
hopefully i will hear back about the SRE - thanks for the info!
So far it does not support markdown syntax yet. I made it over the weekend, and as my vimwiki uses the vimwiki syntax, I started out with that.

I will add an issue to support markdown as well, I will probably get to it this week.
He is correct though, just because the GP has not heard of it doesn't mean it isn't commonly used.
I'm also a German native speaker and I agree the term Zettelkasten is more common than Karteikasten. I encountered Zettelkasten when I was in high-school a long time ago. That said the way I've encountered it was always more as a study tool (like flashcards, or the vokabelkarten/box the GP mentioned ) not so much for note taking, but then that's what you do in high-school.

You live in the UK. How would you compare the IRA of the 1920s with the provos in the 1980s? Would you say they're the same group? They have the same name.
PCIe 3.0 x16 is a 16 GB/s link, which ain’t bad. By comparison, CPU dual channel DDR4-2400 main memory is 38.4 GB/s.

All processors are memory bandwidth starved. CPUs don’t benefit from wide, high latency access to large main memory as much as GPUs, due to the nature of SISD vs. SIMD. Naturally, GPUs put more focus on a fatter pipe between the processor and main memory (GDDR and 500 GB/s pipes). CPUs operate on fewer data, so you can crank the speed of computation up if you crank the memory speed and keep latency low. This is why so much of CPU dies are dedicated to cache (I think L1 is often single cycle, which results in absurd throughout numbers).

Tear gas and rubber bullets against, at the start, peaceful protesters. not okay tools. Neither is encircling groups or overwhelming them with larger numbers.

This way of thinking, looking at it as a war-like situation and vocabulary, is what leads to escalation. On the other hand, neither is a completly off-hands approach. Tough call, right? Funny thing, when white guys with masks, tactical vests and AR-15s stormed official government buildings, e.g. in Minisota, police didn't intervene.

And seriously, hand-to-hand combat? Hope you're not a cop.
Isn't it quite difficult to get a carry permit for a gun in Switzerland though? Making it not that likely that a random citizen the police officer encounters will actually have a loaded gun.
