I'm not sure, there's a huge difference in the cheese sold next to the milk and eggs and stuff and the cheese sold in the deli section.

The Kraft/cracker barrel style Cheddar and stuff doesn't even come close to resembling even mild Cheddar in that section and has a consistency closer to rubber than cheese, even the apparently old and extra old cheddar of the Kraft/cracker barrel kind.

I find it hard to accept that it's even really cheese and i've never really gotten to experience really nice cheese like some of the other commenters here have mentioned.

The Kraft/cracker barrel cheeses go mouldy in a completely different way the other cheeses do. The mould itself even looks different. I'm not sure exactly what pasteurization/sterilization methods are used on those cheeses vs the others, but there's a noticable difference not only in taste and texture, but during the actual moulding process which would be directly affected by any kind of pasteurization or sterilization.
>These numbers all reflect infections that likely began before this week of protest.

If I were a machiavellian populist facist president of the USA I would ignore this reality and immediately start blaming the protests for increased case incidence of SARS-II. I don't think this ends soon, in fact I suspect this political fight will get worse before it gets better.
This also reminds me of the Terminator bridge scene.

The headline is accurate, but perhaps a bit misleading. A synopsis:

The Minneapolis Police Department has had a long string of scandals, and gradual reform doesn't seem to be working. A majority of the city council seem to have decided to rebuild/replace the department in its entirety.

This seems pretty reasonable. It's not some wild eyed anarcho-libertarian plan to try and build a society without coercive force (perhaps sadly, if you lean that way...); it's just an announcement that a dysfunctional government department is going to be reorganised slightly more thoroughly than was previously planned.
Thanks!

The C FFI worries me because if I choose Rust for our project I'll need to interface a huge number of C / C++ libraries with the Rust core. OTOH, Mozilla seems to be doing fine mixing Rust with C++.
This advice is perfect. Especially MAKE YOUR COURSE EXPENSIVE. More people will buy a $250 course then a $25 one. Humans are weird, the less you sell something for, the more customer complaints you get.
That's what I did.

But in all seriousness. Software development does not only need builders. Builders build stuff well but at some point they make mistakes or overestimate their knowledge of technology. Then obsessive learners and investigators are godsend.

Just know your limits and don't hope to do well at solo projects when you are in it for learning or bug hunting.

no

With the "run" command. You get a message "Missing separate debuginfos, use:" and then debuginfo-install, zypper etc. depending on the distro.
It is important to keep in mind that this is not about protesting just police brutality: police brutality is just one part of systemic inequality affecting POCs, especially black people, in the US.

With that in mind, it is important to put an understanding of public health data in context with systemic racism, and why the data looks like it how it does.
Not really. Function definitions look different, and we can declare variables in the middle of function bodies, but those are surface-level changes. The language itself hasn't changed appreciably.
But now we're seeing science denialism on a whole other scale. Over a thousand "scientists" signed a document that says protests for their preferred causes aren't risky, but protests against their policies are.

Why should anyone be criticised for denying this so-called "science" when the people who made it are now openly denying it as well?
Not to mention lisp, in which HN is written.

Science is partisan because its being misapplied. It cannot tell you what you should do, that is the realm of leadership. All it can say is whether a course of action may lead to a certain outcome.

Whether such outcome is desirable vs the trade-offs is not a scientific fact as desirability only exists in the minds of each individual.

I'm sure there is great data on police calls but from my experience with calling 911 social workers wouldn't really help. Earlier this year there was a homeless man waving a knife at pedestrians a few blocks from my house. I know this is a mental health issue and we need do do more for our homelesss - but I couldn't ask officers to deal with stuff like that on the regular with little or no protection.

I've also called 911 in the past when my house was burglarized, two men on a highway got into a fist fight after one's car hit the other, and once when a man was wandering into the middle of the highway trying to get himself run over. You could limit the number of guns but there are real issues that I think you'd want a well-equpied force for.

> However, as public health advocates, we do not condemn these gatherings as risky for COVID-19 transmission

That's a shining example of weasel speak. They don't explicitly say it's not risky - because that would be plain lying, it is obviously risky - but they are saying they are not condemning it as risky. Which most people would take as implying it's not actually risky - even though they are not saying that. They are saying that the protest is too important to take health considerations into account, but they are reluctant to speak plainly and tell people there's risk but they should be adult and choose to manage the risks themselves and maybe neglect small risk in order to achieve bigger thing. Because that's what they spent last several months - and in fact, many years before - trying to convince people there's no way they can be treated as adults and just given the information and left to manage the risks by themselves. Just in this case, our betters had decided the COVID risk is less important than protesting - so it's OK for us. But only in cases which are approved by our betters. If you want to protest something else - it's still risky as heck and there they can fully condemn.
At least in the case of George Floyd, one of officers was charged with murder, the other three with aiding and abetting, so they're clearly not lawless gangs. We'll see what happens at trial, but this is a fair level of scrutiny for what happened; if police faced charges like this every time one of these deaths happened, they'd be a lot more careful.
This blog seems self-contradicting.

>The main benefit is independency

In the absence of independency, a service development organization will hit a ceiling and fail to scale beyond that. While there may be a whole host of other problems that microservices does not solve, this single problem makes it worthwhile in many cases.

That all said, implementing microservices well or even scaling beyond the point where microservices become useful requires a great deal of engineering discipline. Concepts like configuration as code and API contracts have to become something more than theoretical.
I think it’s around 20/month now for O’Reilly learning (the new name for safari books). I’ve had it for around 5 years now, and I don’t ever recall having a limit on number of items. I feel like they have actually got better, with some really good video courses included as well. I’m just completing the second of two courses which are available elsewhere for $99 each, so I’ve almost paid for the year. I really like the idea of having this huge library I can dip into when I want to look something up, rather than getting lost in large amounts of low-quality blog posts online.
Instead of a lander drone a grappling hook and a soft runway might work, too.

See https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_s_Q5CI7p5M and https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f7Lu6LEQ0zo for inspiration. I doubt those landings were healthy for the pilot’s back, but for drones, and given half a century or so of technological development, this might work.

You might not even need the grappling hook. ‘Just’ stall the drone at a height of a few meters, and have it fall onto a relatively soft surface. Maybe add a small rocket to soften the landing.
> What happens when the bodycams are off? Is the officer fired and jailed?

If an officer's bodycam is turned off and there is a confrontation, the officer should be assumed guilty in any dispute. It should be the officer's responsibility to ensure their bodycam works, just as it is the officer's responsibility to ensure their gun works.
It's not rude, it's a reasonable list of suggestions.

"...MPD announced last year the discovery of 1,700 untested rape kits spanning 30 years, which officials said had been misplaced."

This leads me to think that there are some objective metrics by which a police department's performance can be measured. For a department to have 1,700 untested rape kits (vs. nearly 2500 rapes reported in 2019) seems outrageous, even if it represents a low percentage of total reported. Why wouldn't a police department ensure that every reported rape with evidence collected is properly followed up? They say many or all of these kits were misplaced, which simply leads to more questions about procedures, policies, and internal discipline.

It seems that a standardized approach to department evaluation and oversight is needed. Corporations employ internal accounting personnel, external auditing personnel, and then submit to audits by the IRS. If there were a similar approach to oversight for police departments, with data made transparent as it is for public companies, perhaps most those 1,700 women would have justice.
Oh you mean replacing the police with... The police. Got it.
The state of New South Wales (NSW), Australia has a Law Enforcement Conduct Commission (LECC) [1], which is a body legally separate from NSW's law enforcement agencies–NSW Police Force, which is the main state police force; NSW Crime Commission, which specialises in organised crime and other serious crime–and which is tasked with investigating law enforcement misconduct. (In Australia, there is no local law enforcement, only state/territorial/federal.) The LECC doesn't prosecute itself, but can investigate cases and refer them to state prosecutors for prosecution. It isn't perfect, but it is better than nothing. Maybe the US could copy the same idea?

(Also, separately from the LECC, there is also an Inspector of the LECC, whose job is to investigate misconduct by the LECC themselves.)

That's so much of what a metropolitan police force does that that's functionally equivalent to a disbanding, assuming they don't all resign in protest of being held accountable.

I seem to have missed the police setting buildings on fire and beating up shopowners.

Not to say that the police haven't committed a ton of violence in these protests, but it's not all them.
Good cops love bodycams because the video footage exonerates them when something happens. Bad cops hate them.

A huge part of the problem in Minneapolis is the police union resisting any kind of reform. Unfortunately the most expedient way to get rid of the union is to fire _everyone._ Hopefully other police forces recognize this as a reminder to choose their battles more wisely.
In neither case did they do anything that police abolitionists are asking for.
I guess it depends on what they're trying to say (which isn't clear). When you get an AWS machine with 36 vCPUs, if you pick Intel, you get 36 threads, if you pick a Graviton2, you get 36 Cores.
I tried KDE for a while a few years back and found its look quite pleasant. A problem for me was the often different paradigms from more common environments, e.g. that single-clicking a file in Dolphin opens it (as opposed to just selecting it). Another thing I remember was that just hitting the Meta/Win key did not open the launcher menu. Perhaps my expectations are a bit special since I often switch between Windows and Linux, so well-aligned usage patterns help me.

FWIW, the drag while holding a key is actually quite common in Linux DEs, I just miss it in the Big Two.
So you keep decades old code in production, trying to fix bugs in obsolete languages and architectures?

I would start a new project in a modern language or framework that's relevant for the environment and make my job a lot easier. Sure there's gonna be bugs, but its easier to fix when I actually built the system and documented it well.
A good question, and I'm sure many people ask this every day. I'll try to do my best to answer.

It takes different forms, different paths for everyone. Not everyone goes down the same path. I think the best question/mindset you should start to think is this is a life with many people. You are only one piece of that puzzle, try working on your empathy first. You don't seem judgemental, but consider how others are feeling when you talk with them, listen to them more closely. Put your thoughts and replies before them, make _them_ the more important person in the conversation. (Again, not saying you are judgemental, but just in general).

Eventually, this desire to help others before yourself grows; it becomes your default response. With this, I've felt myself grow more humbler, more understanding of others and less judgemental. What you may experience is just this greater joy - helping others is giving you this happiness that nothing else gives.

At this stage, you typically start to realize bad habits you may have, distractions. We as people distract ourselves with a myriad of things in order to avoid feelings or situations. Try to uncover that, dig deep down and look at and help heal your hurts. This will likely take time and a change of behavior if you have them, but it's well worth it. Once you feel you have a good handling of this, you might start to notice others who have their own hurts. As you speak to them and gain trust with them, bring it up from time to time (if you are close), you may have an opportunity to heal them (which in of itself really makes you feel like you are doing good with your life).

If you read this, please do not be dismissive of what I am about to say, but without my belief in God - I really wouldn't know what I'm doing here. Honestly, even _in_ my belief I still very much question my purpose here on Earth. With everything else I have said up above, there was still this piece of my heart that felt like it was missing, and no matter what, nothing could fill in that gap. Point being, even though I still feel lost often, knowing and believing in God, makes me feel better that the path I'm on is on a purpose for God and for others I meet, touch, and heal along the way.

I hope this message helps you along. If you have any questions, feel free to respond.
They aren't even assumed guilty when they're filmed killing someone.
I'm not sure why you assume BLM would be responsible for such a thing, versus a white nationalist, or a foreign government, or a random Joe. Also not sure if you're suggesting 'seemingly innocent' to mean actually innocent or intentional
I had been very annoyed by the editorial decisions at the NYTimes over the past few weeks, because they are incredibly weak when it comes to actually reporting on what the Whitehouse is doing. They seem more interested in covering for politicians than being blunt and honest. I had attempted a few times to cancel my online sub (they don't make it easy). Finally did it immediately after reading this treasonous editorial. It's one thing to host a multitude of views, it's another to use a platform with considerable reach to advocate for political violence.

Plenty of other journalistic outlets that can use my subscription dollars instead.
too many people are beholden to irrational fear with this pandemic, rather than understanding. going into a bar is not a problem for your at-risk friends or family. it's what you do inside that matters.

having a physically distant beer with a friend (assuming an uncrowded bar, as is required in most places) is quite low risk. geting hammered and carrying on with a bunch of in-your-face strangers is not.

just avoid exchanging spit with strangers. being outside is the easiest and best method, and maintaining a little distance is a close second. wear a mask indoors if you can't maintain distance. it's easy.

then you can set the fear aside and move on with your life.
They did a more than just a reorg.

Disbanding and replacing a PD eliminates the old police union contracts.

Those lopsided contracts are at the root of the impunity and violence we've seen over the past week.

Many cities have made extraordinary contractual concessions, including:

- Secrecy clauses. Officer Bob might have 31 excessive force complaints against him, but the city is contractually forbidden from making that information public, or in some cases even retaining the records after X months.

- Arbitration for firing. Those clauses can be shockingly strong. The Philadelphia PD fired an officer for having Nazi tattoos. They were forced to reinstate him after arbitration. https://twitter.com/dburbach/status/1269638494466514955

Those clauses and more often add up to police that are effectively unfireable and therefore not under meaningful civilian control. Witness the head of a NYC police union taunting the mayor and openly flaunting the Right to Know Act / announcing that officers will be covering up their badge numbers.

Camden got a start fresh with no pre-existing police contract. For many cities, that's potentially worth a lot.

The statement "the greater group of protesters is incapable of understanding nuanced policy or democratic change" is extremely rude. It's also wrong. It definitely violates HN guidelines in at least 3 different ways.

They made a low-effort post of ill-advised, out-of-touch suggestions and ended with lobbing direct insults at huge swaths of people.
There's a severe financial side to it all as well...

The city budget funds the police, which funds the union, and they donate their money to the attorney general, mayor, and city council members. Often when they don't get the budget they demand, police will openly retaliate against local businesses and residents who did not support their budget.
Camden had the most violent crime in 2019 [1], but are around the 12th highest population in NJ in 2017 [2]. They are the 10th most dangerous city in the country [3] as of 2020 according to neighborhood scout. The FBI ranked it #1 in 2012. [4]

I'm not sure I can provide an actual measure of how big of a topic it is.
What about adding mandatory personal liability insurance for all cops, just like what doctors have to pay into? Then when they mess up, they are personally on the line instead of the taxpayer.
I agree. It’s worth a try to try a systematically different approach since the current policing practices are not working. People are afraid of change but it’s clear that maintaining the status quo is detrimental so it’s time to figure out alternative solutions.
The 64 core graviton costs less than the 18 core intel. Cores are meaningless, cost isn’t. So Intel looks even worse when cost is accounted for.

Police departments are not like software, they are like servers. Sometimes you need to format and reinstall.
You could argue the US has a debt as large as it does because it has the strongest military on Earth. Who is going to enforce the debt collection?

Using this logic and the destabilization of US military the natural answer is another highly militarized government.

So where there is lawlessness there is opportunity for authoritarianism whether that’s a gang, police, US military, or foreign adversary.

We need to be smart about change and boil the frog, not get into a fight we cannot win, otherwise society will descend into authoritarianism likely ran by the most experienced and powerful authoritarian.
Sure, we don't _currently_ have internment camps, but we used to have them and the current president, when asked point blank by Time magazine, refused to rule out using WW2-style internment camps for muslims. So there's that.

Freedom of expression is one of those things that I'd prefer to keep, but we can see that it is stronger on paper than in practice. In practice, if you gather in the capital city to bring your grievances to the government, unidentifiable mercenaries will gas you. And if you are a journalist reporting in front of your local police station some cop will shoot you in the head with "non-lethal" rubber ball, leaving you without eyes, or teeth.

Just to clarify the performance penalty of these apps is not what bothers me the most, but it’s more to do with registering protocols that are susceptible to attacks, opening local ports on your computer that are browser-accessible, installing startup drivers/services and other things in the name of “user convenience” that persist well beyond me closing some of these apps.

I can live with a fat app, but anything that insists on being there and having serious negative trade-offs even when not using it, in my opinion falls under malware.

I hope they all uninstall cleanly after covid.
Roughly 5% of the Minneapolis police actually live in Minneapolis.

Maybe they should have hired from within the community instead.
> That's been tried for years and clearly hasn't worked.

Are you implying there haven't been improvements at all? Seriously, if you say things like this, you should need to provide some statistics. I'm pretty sure we're at all time lows for police killing unarmed people (don't know where I saw the statistic but this is why I'm so skeptical of the above statement).
is reducing crime rates the goal here?

reducing the abuses committed by police department is a benefit to society, even if the reported crime rate rises (up to a point, of course)
That's a trite dismissal.

Nobody actually thinks that we can have no law enforcement. That doesn't mean that disbanding systematically corrupt departments and rebuilding from scratch isn't a good idea.
