Mostly irrelevant, but I got to meet and work with Alexis for two days back in, holy shit, 2013 now, when I was still a teen and my brother had a startup at the same place Imgur was made (haha, now I'm doxxing myself, and - I've also met with Schaaf more than once)

I was in San Diego for some college stuff last Summer, and became friends with a fairly eccentric/successful dude through an even more eccentric hobby we shared... And out of nowhere, he starts dating Alexis's like... First cousin.

Anyways, Alexis seems like a great guy, family seems pretty great and well rounded (I say this because of how she described their yearly reunions)... yeah. Life's weird :O

Is this data available in raw format? One of my hobbies is foraging for plants + mushrooms, and I'm often struggling to find good enough topographic data. If this dataset is available, I'd appreciate some pointers!

Also: Are there any developer-friendly datasets for climate, terrain, and other IRL data? I've spent a lot of time curating stuff from NOAA and Data.gov to fit me needs. Huge time sink! If this doesn't exist then somebody should do this ;)
COVID is still dangerous and protesting during a pandemic is still equally dangerous as well. It's just that in a cost benefit analysis the public has collectively decided that risking their own health is less important than the prolonged abuses of an unhinged police system.

Disclosure: I work for AWS building cloud infrastructure

My experience working at Amazon has changed my thinking about how to deliver great customer experiences. When we make a new EC2 instance available, customers expect to be able to use it at scale that is indistinguishable from limitless (which is a challenge in a world that has physical constraints in accordance to laws of physics), instantaneous availability, and high quality. This requires significant infrastructure deployment scale and careful design and management of supply chains. Not every provider has the same philosophy and approach in practices.

The client in this case should be the web-browser; it shouldn't be custom Javascript. There should be an attribute on the password field that says if the password should be hashed before sent to the server. It could also be salted by the browser to reduce reuse across sites similar to any password manager today.
there's got to be some relevant detail missing here, pepper spray wouldn't cause your eyes to disintegrate in the way you described.
No its specifically about field commanders. When a field commander sees gas they respond with gas because the taboo has been broken and they may have insufficient data to know that its less-than-lethal. Protesters are not armed with WMDs that they can radio in before the smoke clears. It can certainly escalate a situation but its unlikely to break the WMD taboo which is what the treaty cares about.
So there are no debuggers, just untodoers...
So much of microsoft's documentation is like this nowadays.

There's parts of the 'What's new in C# 8.0' that aren't really there, and the provided code samples are entirely wrong (i.e. not just one issue, the language literally can't do the feature.)

See also the state of most documentation for ASPNETCORE.

> BTW if you use the long-existing "update from ...join" syntax which MS released years ago as an extension, be aware it allows you to do stupid things that ansi-standard SQL does not, like repeated unpredictable updates to the same row, in the same single sql statement. I hit that last year in someone else's code. It's broken. Well, what's new.

I'm curious if you have an example. I know it's not ANSI standard but I've yet to run into any issues.

MERGE on the other hand is a dumpster fire and everyone knows it.
I agree with respect to mail in ballots. Personally, I'd love if my state made it easier to vote in the mail or online. Right now you need two witnesses for an absentee ballot. But it needs to be done right and not right before an election.
Priority vs severity is an all time classic.

"Severity" is a measure of how serious the impact of a defect is (Using the term "impact" instead of "severity" can make things clearer). It does not say anything about the priority that should be assigned to fixing it, though it is obviously often correlated.

Severity is an absolute metric, priority is a relative metric.

In general the person who creates a defect ticket sets its severity based on what has been observed. The priority is set later by project management.

> If a particular issue causes a downtime of 1 second every 10 years, it's still downtime, but might not be the most urgent thing to work on.

Exactly. There may be a severe issue but because it happens so rarely it is probably not urgent to fix and thus may be assigned a low priority.

Of course if the issue "prod is down" is both severe and urgent to solve. But after investigation you may find the root cause and determine that it is costly to resolve while occurring only very rarely and thus that root cause issue may be low priority though it is still high severity.

The difference really is useful in practice where the effort and cost of solving issues may not be trivial (large systems and systems involving hardware for example). I have seem severe bugs that were tracked down to ASICs deployed in the field, so very expensive to fix, and for which the fix was deferred to the next product version because it was determined that the issue was rare enough that customers could live with it until then.
I don't get it. Assuming that a passivly listening attacker has broken TLS, additionally hashing at the client is helpful. The service at hand is now (most likely) insecure, but at least other services do not suffer from the plaintext password being exposed. It's an advantage, albeit small, but it's easy to do with virtually no risk of error.
One group is organized hierarchically, very well funded by the state, socially lionized to an extreme degree, invested with enormous legal powers, and provided with a vast array of paramilitary equipment including armored vehicles and helicopters.

The other is a loosely networked group of malcontents and opportunists with a relatively low regard for commercial property rights and capitalism.

It's disingenuous to equate them, and something tells me you know this and set up a throwaway account to protect your main from the entirely predictable barrage of criticism.
Ah that word 'ah'. Whenever I see 'ah' at the start of a post, I expect condescension to follow.

Celebrity AMAs just haven't been the same since. She was, in my opinion, one of the best parts of any of the default subs back then. It was very unexpected when she was suddenly gone with no reasonable explanation, and all the AMAs right around then were absolutely garbage. She did a lot for /r/IAmA.
It's not just that they're impenetrable from a technical stand point. It can also be rather difficult to identify contributions that are useful and will get past the core gatekeepers.

Probably the best bet there is to target several projects, and then move towards the ones that seem to appreciate your work.

Well in the EU we still have opportunities to fight against other's monopolies and try to impose ours. Which a single small country can't and, at the end, is expected to become vassal of the US or China.

> laugh at the failures

Talking about failures, there are so many in the UK right now that the Brits, rather than laughing, should first focus on their own internal issues, which by the way, are seriously impacting the future of Europe.
Now compare the casualties between the US and Afghanistan or Iraq.
That’s the whole point of that backlog. The order should reflect the priority of everything relative to everything else. You drag stuff up above other stuff that is lower priority and part of everyone’s job is to groom that list so it reflects reality.

It's not clear to me that these are equivalent, nor do I see why they necessarily should be. The impact to the average life expectancy of a few young people dying could be as large or larger than several times more old people dying.
My point is that the people asking Zuck to censor are asking to censor 40% of the country.

Personally since I disagree with the 40% I do see it as the “real problem” but I don’t think facebook censoring them is the solution. It might be possible to censor away InfoWars or whatever but I don’t think you can censor away the POTUS and 40% of the country...

There have already been instances of well armed African-American people openly carrying large guns forming parts of these protests. The effect? The police have known better than to respond with violence.

110k Americans cannot be understated. That is a stupidly huge number in a year. For comparison: the entire Vietnam war saw the loss of ~70k, 9/11 saw the loss of 3500 which was enough loss of life to give justification for a nearly 20 year war, and the LAPD killed 12 people last year (1).

The sentiment is absolutely correct and any loss of life is too much, but we have to put this pandemic first until it burns out or there is a vaccine, then we can talk about mass gatherings again. This energy is much better spent crafting ballot initiatives that are capable of enacting real change, gathering signatures, registering voters, and getting people to the polls. Protesting alone doesn't solve anything. We saw the further militarization of police after Rodney King, and we saw nothing change after occupy wall street.

Protests give people an outlet to vent but they don't enact real change. Laws and votes do. I worry too that even if people vote in the presidential election, they will continue to leave their local elections by the wayside and these races are what really decides how your community is governed and policed, and have a far more real affect on your life than whoever sits in the white house.

(d) police will never reform unless we make it impossible to do their jobs.
People on the donald openly celebrated violence in top upvoted posts. Tons of open racism. Politics has turned into a bit of an echo chamber compared to 10 years ago, but it is in no way the same as T_D.

That "dropping pretense" you describe carries a LOT more weight than you are giving it, in who it attracts, and the behaviors it promotes.
"Police interactions" are largely up to the discretion of the police, which is why almost all proposals for police reform include ending "broken windows" policies.

Look around. Most Americans would say no to this question.

This is not a new attitude. The black community in the US has largely felt this way for decades.
There's a lot of issues at play here- what constitutes censorship, the monopolistic power of big tech platforms, how to address misinformation. I suspect the root cause is that we live in an extremely segmented information society now, modern life is incredibly complex and self-filtered information bubbles very easy to fall into. Echoing some of the comments, the Streisand effect will only disseminate misinfo and disinfo further, and create a martyr effect that self-defeatingly amplifies the power of the content being suppressed.* But there's really no other good options either. We live in an age where one set of facts will only be countered by a different set of opposing facts, a different list of footnotes and sources, all tailored for that opposite opinion. No one really has time to check all of the links anymore. So much of society simply rests on blind faith on one's own set of experts and gurus. The polarized environment renders your opposite experts into dupes, liars, or agents of shadowy powers, worthy of the worst insults. "Education" doesn't really help fight misconception or conspiracy theories because any inconvenient fact is easily rejected as propaganda by your enemies.

* Though not in all cases. In some cases de-platforming has been very effective
https://mashable.com/article/milo-yiannopoulos-deplatforming...

How does this apply to tech specifically? Amidst this climate of post-truth and truthiness, the big tech platforms have become de facto gatekeepers, guardians of public truth. Something they neither are capable of being, nor should they be. In a healthy civilization, the government, businesses, and civil society should all have roles to play in promoting harmony and fostering understanding. But we've somehow let the infection of division and ignorance take root, so here we are.

On the flip side, something I was thinking about regarding the recent Facebook/Twitter controversies and policing or not policing the president's speech: how is it really different from '90s AOL chat rooms or '00s vBulletin message boards having TOS that forbid certain types of inflammatory, hateful, or otherwise objectionable content? Why was everyone fine with those supposedly "anti-free speech" or "unconstitutional" policies in past decades? Was it simply a matter of scale? Those platforms and online communities were smaller so fewer people got mad about them? Because for a long time, people posting on the internet simply accepted that there is no absolute free speech anywhere, even if they hated the mods.

Fantastic book from the sample chapters!

Any plans to offering a printed version using one of the print-on-demand services(Leanpub etc)?

I'd gladly pay the full $75 for such an offering.

I plan on using the book for a practical Scala course that I will be teaching in the fall.(Programming in Scala is fine but not as practical).
Just because there's a legitimate role doesn't mean that it's currently being practiced ethically. If it's not being practiced ethically the argument is that you can't ethically profit from it. That's the entire issue.

What's the alternative though? Pretending that if you needed protection due to crime coming your way/your family's way... you wouldn't call 911?

I feel like this entire movement is really taking away credit from the "ok" and "good" cops. How many cops are there in America? Ok, some of them aren't perfect. They are racist/dicks/thirsty for power. Why does this mean as a citizen I should feel less safe because we want to defund police and have less cops protecting us? Because "cops aren't protecting us?" They are. Even if there were 1,000 police brutality related deaths a year (there aren't), police would still be a huge net win for society, no? Am I missing something?

It's not about escalating use of chemical weapons, it's about escalating the use of violence. It's not hard to see that the same tit-for-tat mentality in chemical weapons escalation could easily apply to any form of violence. Sure, protesters don't have chemical weapons like tear gas, but they could start with bleach, or a mixture or bleach & ammonia, or Molotov cocktails. It's not like the list of home-made destructive devices is a short list.
From what I can tell, Lemmy seems to be this:

Littr seems to be federated too:

That's about it for federated Reddit alternatives, at least that I can find. And I don't think the federated aspect has caught on yet for either.
I think "worldview media" is a more appropriate term for the phenomenon.

What form it takes isn't as important as the fact that it supplies enough content / entertainment / methods of consumption that one can subscribe to it and have 100% of their bandwidth filled, to the exclusion of competing narratives.

Talk radio was an imperfect expression of this, because radio isn't portable in the same way that app-based social media + mobile devices / Fox News are.

But it's entirely possible to prevent someone from ever being exposed to a contrary narrative, simply by filling all their available time.
Do you know what gerrymandering is? It has almost no effect at all on the presidential election. Only two small states, Nebraska and Maine, allocate their electoral votes based on congressional district winners.

The electoral college doesn’t stop voters removing an unpopular POTUS. See Jimmy Carter, 1980, and George HW Bush in 1992.
> 5. Try to change the rules of voting next election to mail in ballots. Which are less secure than voting in person. If people can wait in line in a grocery store, why can't they wait in line to vote. I don't get it.

Millions of people are not going to grocery stores.
If used properly, tear gas is less dangerous than at least some of the alternatives. Imagine actual riots, not peaceful protestors.

The alternatives might be literally deafening sound, rubber bullets, tasers, batons, water cannons, and real guns; all of these can hurt people.
What the police are supposed to be is determined by local culture.
