You don't attack non-violent protestors or bystanders. You use proportional violence and only as a last resort.

But more importantly, you avoid these kinds of situations by not being an absolutely inhumane and racist police force that should be a disgrace to any nation that calls itself civilized.

I do find it fascinating and a bit scary that you can read this article, watch the linked videos, and then come up with a comment like this though. Is this kind of stuff that normalized in the US?

That feels like a bit of cheating if you are not designing & soldering your own cartridge :P

I wonder how this was like 40 years ago. Would developers use services similar to this: find a company that makes the mapper you use, send them your binaries and leave them to production details? Or would you design your own boards and use a service to create and assemble them? Perhaps very large companies could even afford build their own boards.

There are some complex/unique mappers out there which makes me believe at least some companies out there were designing those mappers and building their own boards
I'm all about paying above market rates, you get what you pay for and it's not a linear scale, probably more like an activation function.

There is an interesting idea that seems to be working well. That is salary transparency. Everyone in the company knows how much everyone else makes. It instantly removes gender / race / negotiation skills as a difference maker. Geography seems like it would benefit, and that some amount of cost of living adjustment ought to be incorporated, though perhaps how you do this encourages behavior in some direction.
I guess it is a matter of taste.. I really don't like the smell of line dried clothes, and I also don't like the feeling clothes have after being line dried.

Probably because of what I grew up being used to.
The US leadership's is widely considered authoritarian already. Trumps response to the unrest has only fortified that perception.
> You just do a "git push" and stuff gets automatically tested in a VM or even deployed in a live environment.

Yea, same with my Gitea + Drone servers.

It’s cool that GitLab has everything built in, but I don’t mind having distinct tools. Especially when both are very performance static binaries in a language I’m fond of working in (Golang) so that I can patch upstream.

Truth be told, if it weren’t for GitLabs sluggishness on my very cheap VPS, I’d probably give it more of a go so I’d have less to maintain.
I agree. An arrest on its own, even without a conviction or even any charges being laid, can have an enormous negative effect on one's life. Another example is that having been ever arrested, even if not charged or convicted, can bar you from entering the US without going through an expensive, difficult, discretionary process to get a waiver, that then needs to be periodically redone. And it follows you for the rest of your life, it does not expire for example 30 or 50 years after the arrest.

Urgh, sad to see one more FOSS project move there. No browsing of code or issues without Javascript. If the Javascript actually enhanced something and made the experience better, then it could probably be tolerable, but it doesn't, GitLab feels slower and more bloated than any other Git repository manager I know of.

I had not been surprised if Microsoft had ruined GitHub by "enhancing" the site with loads of Javascript and other things that would make the site worse, but this hasn't happened. GitHub has actually improved steadily since the acquisition. Ironically, it's the FOSS alternative that is slow and bloated this time.
It might interest some people here to know that if the EMH were true, you could use it to break unbreakable cryptography.

However that's not what would happen. If you tried it, your crack would fail, and you would just end up proving experimentally that EMH isn't true.

That would move the discussion to "is it true except if you test it in weird experiments though?" which is not an interesting point of debate:

Obviously there are no market participants with infinite wisdom and processing ability who know all public news and factor it into every stock's price instantly at all times, and are perfect in their analysis.

And have been since the dawn of markets, even before the Internet.

it's totally obvious.

Anyway here is a protocol you can use to demonstrate EMH is false, any time you want:

Speaking of books: Games people play by Eric Berne was an eye-opener for me. If you want to find a logical framework to wrap your head around social interactions, it is a useful book.

For me at least, I found that watching comedy series helps a lot to figure out social transactions. As a positive byproduct you learn to make jokes, which can also help in your pursuit to become socially appropriate.

I also find that if I stay away from computing for a while, I tend to get more normal.

Putting an effort into dressing acceptably (clean, fitting clothes), getting regular haircuts, figuring out how to chit-chat, generally smiling and nodding are my current strategy to fit in.

It is trivial to outperform the market by insider trading, thus markets are inefficient. The efficient market hypothesis isn't dead, it was never true.
You should know why you want a degree in CS. Because if it's solely to get a job in software development, know that it's one of the longest and most expensive ways to reach that goal, especially since you've been coding for such a long time.
There are many other reasons one would want to go to college, and if they apply to you, feel free to disregard this comment.
But to reiterate, if your only goal is to be a software developer, I would try to see if someone will hire you with the experience you have now, or maybe do a bootcamp of sorts.

Let me add more nuance: I'm not trying to say that a CS major won't be valuable to a software developer, or that it doesn't have advantages over a bootcamp-like thing, or just raw experience. But there are tradeoffs, and I think a lot depends on what kind of software development you want to do.
This definitely seems like a good faith attempt to litigate the history of black oppression in the USA from first principles.
Stormed the capitol? You mean entered the capitol building -- as is your right as a citizen? Having a gun is not violence.

We ask cops to be part social worker, part solider, part lawyer, part investigator, part paramedic - and we pay them a salary for just one of those professions at best. Law enforcement is a small part of the job many days.

It's time to create mission specialist in large police forces with depth in these areas and to deploy them as teams of 2-4. Yes, there will be shortages in coverage and that is okay.
It is surprisingly hard. The mental arithmetic killed me, I'm just not fast enough at it. Still apparently too smart to be a cop...
Great concept but to me does not make that much sense. Because there are no extra keys. So what is the point of having re-programmable keys if you’ll have to reprogram the keys that you are already using? Function keys are not so useful as they are too far away from main typing area (at least for me). An extra vertical row of keys on the left however would be great. I would order such a keyboard. (Currently I am using an International English one and there’s an extra key, § which I re-programmed with different modifiers for several functions. A whole row of extra keys would be just amazing!)
So many double standards.

A police officer is allowed to "panic and fear for their life" and shoot me as a result. I, as a private citizen, am expected to remain cool, calm and composed in the face of multiple guns in my face.

Even more mundane things: if I break a law, "ignorance is no excuse". When cops arrest photographers for shooting in public spaces, I have literally heard government officials explain it away as "We cannot expect our police officers to be constitutional lawyers".

>It seems to have partially worked, since you commented. Unfortunately, your comment doesn’t get us into the discussion we are actually supposed to have.

No, the discussion we're having is the discussion we're supposed to have, although I don't think it's the one you would have liked. You are generally not having discussions on this forum that reflect that you understand its conventions.

> Well, I have written materials that explore every facet of this problem, and to software that has solved it.

You clearly don't have a community already invested in what you have to say about the state of the problem, never mind your solutions to it. So I'd say take a step back and prove that you can build a community that cares about the problems you are trying to solve, whether through a mailing list, IRC channel, slack group, twitter list. Once you have built that community, it's a lot more likely that you'll have a group consensus to what the problem is, which is a necessary foundation for you to build any kind of a solution.

If you did have that foundation, you wouldn't be spamming project links on hacker news. Forget about your software. Focus on the foundation it will require to be successful. Focus on discovering what you can write about that will actually win people's hearts and minds, with evidence. Focus on what things you think and you express that resonate with a community, that they'll go to bat for. This is extremely hard and failure-prone. But if you can't do that, you'll never successfully build a solution that gets adoption. You do want the solution you build to be used, right? Then focus, really focus, on community building first.

Best of luck.
"1960s through the 1990s"

Yes. After the 1989 real estate crash, Japan's economy was way down for several decades. Japan led in advanced technology in the late 1980s, and then just seemed to give up. It was so strange. I'd expected Japan to come up with a way to get out of that mess, but that never happened. Then the population peaked, and now most areas outside Tokyo and Osaka are slowly dying off.
I suspect specialists are already booked to capacity, and they don't play catch-up after a conference, it's just planned into the schedule.

Maybe xfce can see past the trivial issues with javascript for more benefits elsewhere within Gitlab for managing their project(s).
You are right, but it does illustrate how little is needed to get your code of the ground. See https://github.com/sdras/awesome-actions for a list of plug n' play building blocks. And there are a bunch of different triggers and patterns (https://help.github.com/en/actions/reference/events-that-tri...) you can listen to, all tightly coupled with your code and (GitHub) UI.

There is a lot of bang for the buck here.

Knowing that the ground control software is written in LabView is one of the more disappointing things I've read recently. I did a bunch of test engineering during co-ops during college, including multiple "codebases" of LabView, plus the normal class coursework and research lab instrumentation. I hate LabView, to the degree that I made a commitment never to apply to a job that has it's use as one of the requirements or as part of the desired qualifications.

I remember working on a getting a brushless motor test stand up and running using a LabView VI, which was written by one of the senior test engineers a couple years before. After spending days working on it, I eventually went to him for help. He sat down with me and it for another two hours, and even then, he needed to take the code (that he wrote!) and go sit down with it alone the next day for several hours to understand what was going on. If you're not working it essentially full-time, on the same codebase, it's insanely difficult to maintain any non-trivial code.

What makes the situation even a bigger shame is that National Instruments makes Labwindows/CVI, an ANSI C equivalent to LabView. The few times I've used it (in a graduate-level experimental physics class), it was so much easier to use and maintain.
I'd imagine the utility stems from being the most efficient means of distributing resources, and if markets can be consistently beat for extended periods of time then that is evidence that a better way exists.

Admittedly that better way might simply be "markets, but only competent people are allowed to trade".
> How about focussing more on teaching police officers to learn how to be calm and composed as much as possible instead of going on the offensive too quickly.

Most police departments do. In the area I work as a paramedic, they certainly are trained in de-escalation.

I also know that some of them just... don't... care.

I've been dealing with mental health patients, got them calmed down, got a plan for dealing with their issues. And then had a cop march back over (who was on scene, saw the initial incident, the de-escalation), and start shouting at the patient over the destruction of property. The patient's property. "Who the fuck do you expect to clean up that broken glass? Selfish asshole. I should make _you_ get on your knees and clean it".

End result? The patient who was compliant and willing to go for evaluation in the back of my ambulance needed to be sedated and narrowly avoided being tased. In the grand scheme of things, worse things have happened. But this was a situation actively under control. And a situation this officer, and only this officer, actively worked to make worse.

That incident resulted in a complaint, though I have no idea what the resolution was.

> You can’t expect policing to be the primary means with which we deal with things like ...

I don't buy this argument because it removes agency from law enforcement officers, who -- as a class of people -- very highly buy into the concept of free will.

Right now, police departments have a significant amount of moral hazard. They are expected to behave in a very legal and upright manner, but not all do and those who don't are very rarely held legally or civilly liable. I think doing something like removing qualified immunity (or at the very least just giving DAs tools and directives to prosecute more egregious use of force problems) or putting more of the police officers' wealth at risk (by tying their retirement programs to the funds which pay out for violations of civilian rights).
I totally agree. If you need access to one config variable CRA doesn't support out of the box, your only option is to eject. I really wish there were the option of just providing an "overlay" file that only had your changes from the CRA defaults, rather than being forced to eject the whole config.

There are no right or wrong answers to this. It can be pro-rated for the cost of living, pro-rated to the cost of market (GitLab approach) or just a standard rate that's below SF market.

You can pay $60k to a senior engineer in an emerging economy and he/she will be super happy about it because that is way above market in his/her country. Regardless of which method you used to get to that number.
Right, so that's the challenging part about building a client. But you still want to build the server first, and let that be the authoritative source of gameplay design, because a desync for one person is not as bad as a desync for everyone but one person. (And that only becomes more true as the number of people on your server grows.)
I think empirically it's neither trivial nor impossible.

For instance, say you are a CEO and earnings are about to be announced for your company. You know exactly what the earnings are going to be, and what the published expectations are, so you know how much they will beat or fall short. Does that mean you know how the market will react? I think people who have been in that position would tell you no.

There was something in the news about someone who hacked into a database with earnings press releases that gave them access just a little early. And someone did an analysis of how reliably this worked to make money. It wasn't 100%!

Have you seen that scene from the demonstration in Salt Lake City, where MAGA-man pointed a hunting bow at demonstrators? He was taken down and handed over to law enforcement unharmed. The bystanders displayed extraordinary restraint, no doubt because everything was filmed, and anyone who used deadly force would be harassed for the rest of their lives.

We'd like to see that same standard applied to cops.

Timely article, but what about violent criminal activity during protests? Peaceful protests are wonderful and have been very effective throughout history. The protests we've seen for the past few days are not helping anything. Yes, people are angry at the criminal behavior of the police officer/murderer, but manifesting that anger by destroying property, looting, injuring, and threatening others, is only going to justify the use of more police violence.
I'm something non-neurotypical (no idea what), and I'm only able to speak by brute-forcing it (I compose a script for what to say, and then say it, and ideally this happens in a reasonable time). If I thought a bit slower, I would probably just be nonverbal; in many respects, I am.

If you use AWS, “your favorite secrets manager” should be AWS SecretsManager, and you should use an AWS Role to limit access to the secrets.

Have your code fetch any secrets it needs from AWS Secrets manager, using the name of the secret (which does not have to be kept secret, so it can be in your source repo)

That way, you don’t have to put secrets in your environment, with the risk of leaking them.
Yeah I've been looking for equipment for a few projects with rather wide bandwidth and frequency range requirements (not neccesarily oscilloscopes, but digitizer cards, waveform generators, etc.) and what I've found is that even if I could afford the equipment they dont sell to consumers.

In some cases the software is so old I'm not sure if i could find it, or it's still exceedingly expensive.
