"On the new rebel state’s first night, the atmosphere was festive and triumphant. Hooded men spray-painted the police station with slogans and anarchist symbols, renaming it the “Seattle People’s Department East Precinct.” Raz Simone, a local rapper with an AK-47 slung from his shoulder and a pistol attached to his hip, screamed, “This is war!” into a white-and-red megaphone and instructed armed paramilitaries to guard the barricades in shifts. Later in the night, Simone was filmed allegedly assaulting multiple protestors who disobeyed his orders, informing them that he was the "police" now, sparking fears that he was becoming the de facto warlord of the autonomous zone. A homeless man with a baseball bat wandered along the borderline and two unofficial medics in medieval-style chain mail stood ready for action."

This sounds like the real world version of a Shadowrun game lol. Honestly the city's response was probably appropriate, let them LARP for a while until they run out of bottled water or whatever.

I can't imagine anyone wanting a "better git". To be honest, I can't imagine anyone wanting git, but here we are.

I do not understand why so many people feel it's imperative to use one SCM tool for all projects, since learning the basics is very simple for all of them (except maybe for git itself).

I get it why commercial hosting platforms standardize on one tool (everyone will ask for git, so why double the work?), so I suppose the desire not to run your own code hosting is the main driver.

I'm well aware they offer both Ubuntu and Pop. After all, I was just there looking to purchase a workstation. Ubuntu might be your cup of tea but I personally don't care for Snap. I know absolutely nothing about Pop!_OS. Neither of these options are ones I would choose.

It would have been nice (imho) if they offered Mint as an option as it would potentially save me the pain of hunting down the proper drivers and hoping I can figure out how to install them and get the workstation I want to actually work.
When it comes to appliances, price and longevity seem to have no correlation. I find it is nearly impossible to figure out which appliances will last longer.

There is a lot of purposeful misinformation going around - rumors of food shortages, extortion, and "paramilitary death squads." These aren't true, to say the least.
Yeah, it's an interesting problem, bootstrapping such a thing.

When we started out, we took a stab at a model, and then collected about 50 incidents from about a dozen stacks. These were actually not of our creation, but from real-world application stacks, where the owners gave us the data and permission to use it. It was painstaking, but we were able to gather from them what comprised a valid root-cause indicator from their perspective, for each incident, and what did not.

So we collected these datasets and put them in what we call "the dojo". Then, we ran our software against it. We achieved about a 2/3 recall rate on detection+root-cause... meaning, a detection did not count as a true positive unless we also caught a root-cause indicator and put it into the incident report.

At that point, we reviewed what appeared to be systematic ways we were missing things, and improved the software substantially. This improvement process took us well north of 90% of recall on this original dataset. But of course we had not set aside a validation set and refused to look at it, so I don't know what the real recall should have been at that point - and I don't care. The data set was small enough that it was more important to learn everything possible and get it implemented, so we could get happy users, so we could get MORE data.

Getting such a well-curated dataset again is prohibitive in terms of effort at our size, and the kind of feedback we now collect automatically has huge noise built in. Some users hit "Like" when they're happy with an incident, and some complain when they're not, but most times no feedback is given at the incident level. Sometimes the feedback you get is they sign up, or they keep using you, or they pay you, or they leave. I think at scale we will have enough Like/Mute/Spam feedback at the incident level to get meaningful systematic answers from it; but we're not there yet, because this sort of feedback is generally sparse.

Regarding false positives - here, I think, what matters is this: each user has a finite amount of bandwidth / tolerance for noise. The important thing is that we not exceed that, while missing as little as possible. If they have a small environment and get three false positives and one true positive in a week, they may be happy. If they have a larger environment and get 30 false positives and 10 true positives in a week, they may be less happy; they might have been able to tolerate 10 false positives only before exceeding their bandwidth.

Thanks for the question, I could go on all day, and you've made me realize that this might make for a really interesting blog post, where I go into more detail still. I think there's a continuum in this sort of bootstrapping where you start with an art and end with a science, and do a little bit of each as you go through this awkward transition.

They chased police out of a section of the city under threat of violence, with the explicit goal of dismantling the local (and national) police force and upending governed rule of law. They're also armed (video of Raz with an AK variant on site, and public announcements of the gun club being on-site and armed "for their protection") and, of course, making demands.

This objectively meets the definition of both terrorism and criminality. Now, you may agree with their cause, and even their methods, but if we want to document and discuss exactly what's happening, we need to start by calling spades spades.

I'm from Levels.fyi. You're right, benefits are fairly hard to compare as it can vary by location and specifics of various perks. We're still working on gathering more data. The red X's appear when we've gotten a report confirming the benefit is not present. If we don't have a report for a specific benefit, nothing is shown. While it is true 'null' should not be an option, we wanted to be able to collect some data even if a contributor does not know the full scope of benefits which is often the case.

The initial set of companies was sourced directly from employees / HR / recruiters at these companies. We're working on adding more details around location for each benefit. You can also contribute here: https://www.levels.fyi/benefits/add.html

This is just a start. We appreciate the community contributing and are continuously updating the page.
I wonder if they considered using something like ptrace to track which .rb files a given test suite loads? This would probably be orders of magnitude faster than Rotoscope or Tracepoint. You'd get a much "coarser" data set, since you wouldn't know which individual tests called which modules (unless you run each test case in it's own Ruby runtime). On the upside, you'd be able to watch JSON and YAML files.

(I'm from Hasura)

While Hasura + GraphQL can be used as an ORM (especially for serverless functions!), Hasura is designed to be used directly by clients as well.

Hasura has a metadata configuration system that works on top of an existing database that allows configuring mapping, relationships and most importantly permissions that make the GraphQL feasible to be used by even frontend apps. [1]

Further, Hasura has remote joins that can "join" across Postgres, GraphQL, REST sources and secure them. [2]

hi gingerlime, thank you. One thing we're working on is taking an incident signal from other tools and augmenting it with an incident report. We're starting with PagerDuty and Slack integrations as sources, but could see extending that to other APM/monitoring tools (DataDog could fit here). Of course we do have some overlap in the latter case (for logs & metrics). If you have something more specific in mind - let's connect.

I beleive this thread would be even more popular with the last line in the article as its title on HN: "Why don't we want people to be good at things?"

You replied to my ragepost with one that said "I'm very confused as to why my most post caused a response loaded with so much anger." Seems you then deleted it. Well, here's my response, without the context of your post - I wish you had left it. Anyway.

----

A reasonable response. Let me try... I don't like sloppy thinking. You've responded in one useful way but in another, you quite blatantly haven't answered what were entirely solid questions I put to you - acknowledged?

Sloppy thinking about art promulgates sloppy art. While dividing good from indifferent from bad art is not something I can do formally (but we as a society should try if art means anything), there is a real underlying value to art. Beauty is part of that (IMO/IME). Talking up shite art necessarily smears good art because they fit under the same label ("art").

At school we were introduced to art, and in retrospect what baffled me then was simply that we were being told utter shit and expected to osmose it then spout it back. I understood that much later as an adult. A social pressure was put upon me to conform by not thinking about what I'd been told. Not thinking is not an option, we have to.

> but nothing I said forces anyone to do anything

Yes it does. Pressure was put on you and you caved. You're now repeating the same stuff, which puts pressure on others.

> I also don't think I'm saying anything novel or directly challenging;

Yes you were. You were making a load of claims (read again what you wrote). None of it made sense to me. That was novel and challenging, if it meant anything at all. I just don't think it did.

> without name calling

I didn't name call but sure I said some strong stuff - feel free to refute it. The questions remain unanswered. Until they are I stand by my calling it self indulgent. I did not call you a moron.

> What do we gain by this attack?

You perhaps reconsider what you're saying ("...I continued to breeze past the installation, laughing quietly to myself like I knew something these art people didn't" - and perhaps exactly that, you actually did) or perhaps you explain what that word salad means, and I learn something good and useful.

> It doesn't matter if you and I agree or disagree

It's not about agree or disagree, I'm fine with either, I can learn from either, it's about writing stuff that AFAICS means literally nothing in itself.

Sloppy thinking gets people killed. That's why I get upset.
In our federal system though, its crucial to make sure people have the right to vote in the states they live. It was even more crucial in the context if the era that the 14th amendment was written in, where states as independent nations willingly participating in the Union with the ability to opt out for whatever reason (slavery) was just put to the test and resolved. At that time, state identity was so strong that people like General Lee saw themselves as Virginians first, Americans second, which led him to fight for the confederacy. Its still an incredibly important distinction and concept today, just having been resolved so thoroughly by now it seems almost weird to think the way the people that wrote that amendment thought. We say the United states is now, but there was a time when we said these united states are instead.
To be fair, nobody knows which parts of a complex bureaucracy are useless and which are important. There is a pretty decent chance that the truly useless parts of an organisation are linked in to complying with regulations.

Most of the parts of the bureaucracy that I think are useless are the parts that are non-negotiable from a legal perspective.
This project looks very useful. Since you compare it to Django and mention it has batteries included i have a few questions I'd like to ask.

Does it include an autogenerated admin page like Django?

Does it handle database migrations?

You mention both Vue and React in your page, does that mean I have to install either of them manually or does the cli handle that?

What are the limitations of the query builder?

I can't test anything right now and the docs page looks a bit bad on my phone. Also the examples page is broken and returns an error.

1- We fundamentally don't agree, you think I'm irrational on this topic and I think you are. That's fine. Personally I believe that any conversation that doesn't involve disagreement is not intelligent, it's dogmatic. So I have no problem agreeing to disagree. In my country they say 'no one owns the truth'.

2- Your fundamental position from the beginning was: agree with you or I'm ignorant. This is not only arrogant, but extremely ironic in a series of posts where you are arguing that people should be more open minded to what they don't like and more self aware of the limitations of their perspective.

3- You are correct, the term I meant to use was Steel-manning. I used ironmanning incorrectly and was wrong for using the wrong words. I always feel anything less than a direct first person acknowledgement shows an appalling lack of intellectual honesty (especially doing things like using 3rd person language to distance myself from my own shortcomings). I'll add also that I was not educated in English and grew up in a non-English speaking culture, so please bear with me on these types of mistakes.

4- Indefensible is a relative position. There are people who defend every conceivable position. So I should have used a more apt choice of words such as 'generally revolting', which more accurately depicts general feelings held by most people toward the army killing civilians on American soil. I thank you for highlighting this as it will allow me to more accurately communicate.
I mean... there is more to poverty than homelessness. I don't believe that anybody in America has never had the opportunity to witness poverty in America.

From what I understand, it is not the words themselves (thee etc) but the sounds that make the words - so the "th" and the "ee" are still legit sounds in modern English words. The network would just be synthesising the words you tell it to - it won't be picking the words for you.

I might be wrong though.

How about: they should be held responsible for the preventable death of this woman in a situation they directly and deliberately created?

Legally speaking, they are generally not responsible for creating the situation that led to their violation of Taylor's rights. The court has broad latitude to ignore events prior to any violation of rights, instead relying on whether the police felt at risk in that specific moment.
