TLDR: any society which refuses to provide social democratic floors to people will increasingly rely on violence to maintain its social order. You can’t expect policing to be the primary means with which we deal with things like the housing and healthcare crisis without disastrous consequences.
Ditto. I score 98+ percentile on SAT, GRE, etc., but only 50th percentile on this. Ran out of time on question 34 of 50.

I didn't take advantage of scratch paper and pencil, which would have helped. Or pay much attention to the timer. I'm sure I could get my score up, with some work, but not that much.
Strange. I get the impression that Google's support for Go is rather half hearted.

Propulsive landing is really hard, see the failure montage from Spacex as they iteratively worked on it. SpaceX also had a very strong incentive to develop the tech, since they are a commercial launch provider and could make more money. All the engineering was certainly not free, and the vehicle has to make some compromises in terms of lift capacity and such to make it work. Propulsive landing only looks easy now, but it is a supreme feat of engineering.
Crimes should be charged more seriously, not less, when they're committed by police. This is only reasonable - any crime committed by an on-duty officer is inherently more harmful that the same crime committed by a civilian, because in addition to the damage of the actual crime, the officer's commission of it also does harm to the public trust in the police and our society.

Beyond that, the police should be held to a higher standard because we as a society acknowledge that they are trained well enough to walk around with guns and the ability to deprive people of their freedom (even those who are innocent - if you're locked in a cell and later not charged, you don't get that time you spent in a cell back). We should be able to charge Chauvin with first degree murder despite a lack of premeditation, because he was trained to know not to do precisely what he did. If I kneel on a guy's neck and kill him unintentionally it's manslaughter, but if a cop does it, it should be worse because that cop should be expected to know that doing so is not an acceptable form of restraint.

The Mini 3 was basically the original demo of the concept.

The studio then released the full-size Maximus for $2068 using an OLED per key.

They later released the Popularis, originally intended as a cheaper sub-$1000 model using a single large OLED for all keys. They did end up releasing it but with various additional tradeoffs (a "compact" keyboard without a numpad) and at a fairly expensive $1086.

Concurrently, they released cut-down keypads with 6 and 15 keys, also at fairly expensive $376 and $534.

You absolutely need that math because you need to know when the modeling software is giving the wrong answer. You’re supposed to do quick and dirty calc by hand (ok fine I use mathematica) in a simplified system, then you refine with numerical software and compare the two. It’s shockingly easy to get the wrong answer with numerical CAD.

I’m currently training/mentoring a designer in using React, Tailwind, Markdown and basic CLI tooling (git and yarn). She appreciates the power and expression shes given and is learning quickly and steadily. No prior coding knowledge.

Most of this comes down to getting past the fear of coding/programming. And it is a powerful enabler, even reshapes thinking. She recently came up to me with saying “why should I write this in Word? We have markdown and I bet there is a tool where I can style this and generate a PDF”.

Another suggestion: Bolster social programs that is being hamfisted through the justice system, necessitating larger police forces who don't have deescelation training and are not legally obligated to know the law they enforce.

Police don't need to bust someone for drugs if we have robust social programs that adequately address poverty and addiction.

Police don't need to harass homeless people if we have robust social programs that adequately address homelessness.

Police don't need to deal with severely mentally ill people who are unpredictable and potentially dangerous if we have robust social programs that adequately address the mental healthcare crisis in this country.

Alternatively, Appveyor & Travis have fully free tiers. They don't even have my credit card number. CI is trivially forked, doesn't require configuring secrets per repository, etc. Being CI focused, both have configuration and UI oriented towards having a matrix of builds that can individually pass/fail for more granular results, and comes with various SVG badges for build status.

You also got fingerprinted (and probably DNA tested) and your mugshot was publicly distributed and those actions aren't undone.
A considerable portion of any modern engineering project is computing, whether its rocketry, automobiles or genomics. And they can leverage Moores Law which has continued for six decades.
I'm not sure about this. Maybe qualified immunity should be reduced in scope, but I don't know about doing away with it. A police officer that tasers a violent suspect should be immune from prosecution if that suspect falls and hits their head, or has a heart attack. I don't see a way that police could do their jobs without some version of qualified immunity.

I think that at least part of solution lies in better training on use of force, massively increase training on deescalation techniques, better psychological screening and continuous followups, full-time body cams that don't turn off and are tamper resistant with appropriate logging of metadata to detect misuse-- to the extent that if a complaint is made against an officer and the camera is mysteriously not functional, the disciplinary burden should be moved to favor the complaint. And probably other things too-- this is not meant to be an exhaustive list of reforms.
I absolutely agree that cops should be held to a higher standard, but that is a very different discussion. Imagine trying to steer the conversation similarly for any other class of crime: "You can't blame the school shooters... they naturally strike out at what is within their reach, they should be given space to express their outrage. We need to talk about bullying."
Could it be that sometimes the police, government, etc. will make your life miserable even if you haven't commit a crime because they don't like something you did?

Nah. They would never do anything like that.

As everyone knows, all police are paragons of moral excellence in every country in the world at all times.

Governments have definitely never, ever gone after innocent protesters.

</sarcasm>
I have become close to several extremely social people and discussed this quite a bit. I realized that they approach socializing the same way I approach engineering and the like. At a party they clearly see the subtle or not so subtle effects of their actions and gauge the situation on a meta level without even really realizing that they’re doing it. It’s almost as though some of my neural circuitry originally intended for socializing was applied to an awareness of “things” instead.
> For example rocket lab is doing pretty well for their size with some real innovation based out of New Zealand!

Rocket Lab isn't out of New Zealand, that's a popular underdog myth at this point. They're an American company, funded overwhelmingly by big US venture capital, that built their current technology primarily in the US.

The initial low scale efforts for Rocket Lab originated out of New Zealand, with sounding rockets. They moved to the US because they could go no further with the limited native aerospace and funding capabilities of New Zealand.

Their name is now Rocket Lab USA. Their headquarters has been in the US for most of their existence and progress.

And most of their efforts and expansion are now also focused in the US:

https://www.rocketlabusa.com/news/updates/rocket-lab-expands...

New Zealand didn't have the native aerospace engineering capabilities to build what Rocket Lab has. Most of the advanced engineering was done in California, leaning on the massive aerospace resources of the state.
It's also difficult to know all alternate layouts by heart e.g. Apple's US International has 4 different layout (shifted, alted and alt-shifted), and while being able to type "˚" directly can be convenient I literally never remember it's alt-k, so I hunt through basically all the alt-ed layout until I find it.
>If you need typed functional programming, your options are OCaml, Scala, F# or even subsets of Rust and TypeScript.

And don't forget D. It's surprisingly well-suited for FP as its effects system has explicit support for pure functions and specifying a function is guaranteed not to throw, in addition to support for true (transitive) immutability. Not to mention full first-class function support, with lexical closures.
The tube launched rocket looked decidedly weapon-like too.

which I doubt it'll happen in the next 30-50 years

I have to ask, why the rush? Why not wait 30-50 years until the robots are smart enough? Or we can bioengineer humans that are better adapted to that harsh environment?

This feels a bit like a real time strategy game, where someone at the start of the game wants to spend all their resources on big expensive research projects near the end of the tech tree. You're always better off building up the economy so you have enough surplus to tackle those expensive items later.

> Bolster social programs

I think you are actually talking about dismantling more than half of the existing criminal statutes. I agree that we should do it, but there's a reason it hasn't been done before: there are still a ton of citizens who believe the only way to deter crime/poverty is a bigger stick, not swapping a stick for a carrot.
If nothing has changed from my childhood, probably Estes model rocket engines, that are solid fuel.

I think people are stumbling over the word "reverse" here. A common use of "reverse" is to undo. And you're 100% right that you cannot undo the destruction of information.

But instead, "reverse" is being used here to mean something like analyze or to apply countermeasures to defeat the obfuscation.
Interesting. I had the opposite experience. I've always tested well and score around 120-130 on most online IQ tests. Going in knowing that the test was designed not to be finished, I prioritized speed over accuracy. I answered 49/50 questions and got a score of 39, which is quite a bit higher than I expected going in.
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. Yes, there are times when you will "fear for your life" and have to act with force but far too often our police officers are casual in going on the offense. In many cases, it is just a case of being pissed off because the guy/gal they pulled over is rude or verbally abusive or is not complying to a request. Can you take a deep breath and agree that it is part of your job to deal with idiots/crackheads/vulgar people as well and learn how to deal with them without always flashing your gun or tasers ?

One thing the police do where I live is to do community get togethers to get to know the actual people. It helps to reduce anxiety and stress. Yes I live in a "nice" neighborhood so it is easy for me to say may be. But can we not try similar police and public get togethers in the "not so nice" neighborhoods ? Is it not even worth a try ?

Also, be more strict in getting rid of bad apples which I believe this article touches upon a bit. This specific police officer had a history of violence and he should have been under more scrutiny that he was.

Until the respect is mutually created between police and public, no law on the books can prevent these types of unfortunate incidents.
This sounds wrong to me, what would be the analogue of the door being revealed?
I think that might be the logical end goal: Remove police from street policing, and let communities police themselves.

Show HN: Trace of Radiance – Faster and Safer Raytracing in Nim
I just picked up a Pilot Metropolitan and am liking it. Be aware that a Pilot fine nib is closer to a Western extra-fine. It really is smaller, though the pen is well made for $30.

In the same price range you'll find the article's Lamy Safari, and the TWSBI Eco. The Eco, in particular, is an excellent value. It is a good piston-filling fountain pen. The nibs have slight feedback, so it feels like you're using a pencil on most paper.

Don't get me started on bottled inks. :)

One last bit of advice... Don't buy from Amazon (especially for the more popular pens). There's a huge counterfeiting problem on Amazon. Instead, buy from a specialty retailer. They'll give you better service, you'll get the real thing, and you'll be able to find ink samples. In the U.S. I've bought from Goulet Pens (love them, and their video tutorials [1]), Fountain Pen Revolution (for Indian-made pens), and Pen Chalet.

I had an old Waterman fountain pen in my closet. I wanted to figure out how to actually use the converter, because I had stuck to cartridges, but disliked running out. I checked out the videos and am really enjoying the hobby.

I experience a similar thing. I'm on the spectrum, and with new friends it's always an anxiety inducing countdown until they identify me as an "alien", after which we are really no longer friends - I am an other, to be ridiculed and/or avoided. It's gotten to the point where I don't really try to make friends unless I can detect that the other person is also on the spectrum.

> You may be able to find some corner cases of some individual police officers getting paid up to $500k. But that's just showing that the very top officers earn about the same as a mid-level engineer at a tech company.

But react did "reinvent the wheel", and it did it so well that it changed the way frontend development is done.

To me it feels like such a simple concept that I'm amazed it took us so long to discover.
