There are other considerations as well. No community likes being reformed by others. Nobody likes being told to “be more like us” by others who (maybe) don’t understand the issues at hand.

For sure, there is entrenched power, but there are other issues like “what am I allowed to do when a suspect high on PCP attacks me? I can no longer use a choke hold, so I guess I have to use my gun. What if it’s crowded?”

Here are a few glaring problems that people have admitted need(ed|s) fixing that resist outside dictating:
* Removal of Saddam Hussein
* Improving inner city schools
* Removal of children from a household
* Endorcement of civil rights in the south

In all cases, there are/were people on the inside who agree the thing must be done, but objected to outsiders doing it because
* it made them feel annexed
* it made them feel like they would be judged poorly on everything else
* they suspected they would be punished forever
* they questioned the real motives for the intervention
* they didn’t trust the intervention to go all the way. If the greater power left part way through, the local leaders would extract revenge.
* ...
I agree 99.9% of products do not need a micro service architecture because
1. They will never see scaling to the extent that you need to isolate services
2. They don’t have zero downtime requirements
3. They don’t have enough feature velocity to warrant breaking a monolith
4. They can be maintained by a smaller team

I also agree that the way to build new software is to build a monolith and when it becomes really necessary, introduce new smaller services that take away functionality from the monolith little by little.

Microservices do have a good usecase even for smaller teams in some cases where functionality is independent of existing service. Think of something like LinkedIn front end making calls directly to multiple (micro)services in the backend- one that returns your contacts, one that shows people similar to you, one that shows who viewed your profiles, one that shows job ads etc. none of these is central to the functionality of the site and you don’t want to introduce delay by having one service compute and send all data back to the front end. You don’t want failure in one to cause the page to break etc.

Unfortunately, like many new tech, junior engineers are chasing the shiniest objects and senior engineers fail to guide junior devs or foresee these issues. Part of the problem is that there is so much tech junk out there on medium or the next cool blog platform that anyone can read, learn to regurgitate and sound like an expert that it’s hard to distinguish between junior and senior engineers anymore. So if leaders are not hands on, they might end up making decisions based on whoever sounds like an expert and results will be seen a few years later. But hey, every damn company has the same problem at this point.. so it’s “normal”.
There is a local treasure called GoldHunt (https://goldhunt.com/) where someone hid $100k (well a chest with some paper that you could claim the $100k). You could buy a map for $25 which was a set of clues (they also just got posted online instantly). It became quite popular when they did the first hunt a few years ago. The problem was that it meant a ton of people would flood an area and trample gardens and parks.
I live in a country where most of this is true.

Unfortunately, there are now so many care workers that many people with issues are getting fed up with all the people that come to their house for all kinds of help (think a care worker for finance, one for mental issues,one for physical issues,one to help the person get back to work, one for the kids etc. etc.)

So if there will be a shift from 'police as is', to more like a care worker system, this would be something to consider.

But other than that, it seems to work well. The police is considered your friend. They pretty know each of the people that have issues or who ever committed crime.

They continue to offer help to them,but will make sure they also get off the streets when they become a potential threat.

There continues to be a lot of criticism from certain groups within our country that wants the police act tougher, but I think the majority of people are happy with how the police does it's job here.

That always bothered me too but never saw any good justification for that. I feel like it's just a straight up flaw in the language, unless someone can tell me why you would ever want unqualified imports.

This blew my mind. In addition to the computer analogy, I think Bio-mechanics is incredibly fascinating. The fact that I can close my eyes and still be able to touch the nose with my index finger repetedly from any starting position of the hand is mind boggling. I cannot fathom the type of inverse-kinematics that is involved in the cerebellum.

Hey c'mon, back in elementary school, every cohort has at least written about their favorite past-time during writing classes. Just because the subject/title is the same, it doesn't mean the writing is the same. Every writer ends up with a style of their own and as a teacher, it was mostly a joy to read. ;) The only reason why there isn't a 1000th tutorial on Favorite Past-time is because there wasn't high speed, unlimited internet back then and students weren't allowed to use the computers back then. ;)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans-Hermann_Hoppe:

> In 2001, Hoppe published Democracy: The God That Failed which examines various social and economic phenomena which, Hoppe argues, are problems caused by democratic forms of government. He attributes democracy's failures to pressure groups which seek to increase government expenditures and regulations. Hoppe proposes alternatives and remedies, including secession, decentralization of government, and "complete freedom of contract, occupation, trade and migration". Hoppe argues that monarchy would preserve individual liberty more effectively than democracy....

> In Democracy Hoppe describes a fully libertarian society of "covenant communities" made up of residents who have signed an agreement defining the nature of that community. Hoppe writes "There would be little or no 'tolerance' and 'openmindedness' so dear to left-libertarians. Instead, one would be on the right path toward restoring the freedom of association and exclusion implied in the institution of private property". Hoppe writes that towns and villages could have warning signs saying "no beggars, bums, or homeless, but also no homosexuals, drug users, Jews, Moslems, Germans, or Zulus"....

> As a self-proclaimed anarchist who favors abolishing the nation-state, Hoppe believes that as long as states exist, they should impose some restrictions on immigration. Hoppe has equated free immigration to "forced integration" which violates the rights of native peoples, since if land were privately owned, immigration would not be unhindered but would only occur with the consent of private property owners. Hoppe's Mises Institute colleague Walter Block has characterized Hoppe as an "anti-open immigration activist" who argues that, though all public property is "stolen" by the state from taxpayers, "the state compounds the injustice when it allows immigrants to use [public] property, thus further "invading" the private property rights of the original owners".
Shh. Don't say that. The crazies will come out and tell you about if we do that we'll end up a totalitarian wasteland like Sweden or New Zealand or something like that.
No, they aren't that diffferent. It's just an example of something one might want to do with live video.
I don't understand -- are keeping people out of work and isolated at home not public health risks? If non-Covid related factors are being considered in weighing against the risks of exposure they should all be considered, not only some of them, selectively.
Graviton 2 has a lot of memory bandwidth. See here: https://travisdowns.github.io/blog/2020/05/13/intel-zero-opt...
It is important to note that this isn't just about police brutality. There are a number of racial disparities that result in more black deaths. From the letter:

> lack people suffer from dramatic health disparities in life expectancy, maternal and infant mortality, chronic medical conditions, and outcomes from acute illnesses like myocardial infarction and sepsis. Biological determinants are insufficient to explain these disparities. They result from long-standing systems of oppression and bias which have subjected people of color to discrimination in the healthcare setting, decreased access to medical care and healthy food, unsafe working conditions, mass incarceration, exposure to pollution and noise, and the toxic effects of stress.

So 1k-2k per year would be a low estimate. Some will correctly point out that that 1k-2k killed by police includes people that are committing violent crimes (ie, killing them may not be unjust). The response to that argument is to look at the intersection of poverty and race to see how systemic racism drives crime in black communities.

I listen to a lot of talk radio (or otherwise out of leftfield radio) and a big part of the appeal is I never know exactly what I'm going to experience. I watch a lot of YouTube, etc, as well but it's a different self-curated experience where I'm choosing in advance, whereas tuning into a live radio station means I'm going to hear something I'm not expecting even if I don't like it.

Can Cloudflare put enough varied programming to make their "TV" channel similarly surprising if you tune in at random? Hard to say, but it would be neat if they managed to pull it off.
A lot more crime happens, nobody reports it though. Just like in the Bay Area for car thefts. Very underreported because we are discouraged from making reports and after the 3rd break in, don’t even bother reporting. Everyone using Camden as a success on Social media is mistaken.

Poor people hurt the most, while rich and upper middle class likely never has to call the police

If only we had sane leaders who didn’t voice similar idiotic thoughts in public.
How would they go about doing this in practice? Are they going to fire the entire police force, and recruit new people from scratch? If that is the case, can the current cops apply? How would they make sure bad cops from the current force don't get recruited again?

A simple first step would be to maintain a national level open registry of fired cops and bad behavior reports. At minimum, if a cop gets fired, then he can't go to the next county and get a job
There are probably some good ideas in other replies. Having purpose in life is everything (I think). I suggest building humanity through learning and service, and hopefully coming to know eternal truths that support that learning & service in the best ways.

All the best to you.

The problem with having a cesspool is that it attracts lots of those types of people to your site in the first place, and ingrains it in them that that kind of behavior is acceptable. They then start acting like that elsewhere on the site and lower the level of discourse everywhere.

Ban the cesspools and most of those people will actually leave the site for good, as what drew them to it in the first place is now gone. You also no longer have any cesspools serving as negative guideposts for making bad contributions. So if you moderate your site well, and just get rid of this kind of stuff, it ends up much better in the long run.
Note that this won't currently run on embedded devices. The ARC GC release with Nim 1.2.0 could be really useful on embedded processors the Async story hasn't been ported and contains cycles which leak memory. It works great ... until you OutOfMemory and it resets. The Nim core team is working on it. :-)

Still IMHO, Nim has a lot of potential on embedded devices. I've been using it to augment some C code I'm using on an ESP32 and it integrates pretty smoothly. It's enjoyable to write Nim code and I can do hacky C-like tricks with pointers if I need to which is great. Writing C isn't to bad until you want to just have some generics and containers like lists and hashes. C++ has them of course, but personally just to much headache for me.
> The genetic fallacy (also known as the fallacy of origins or fallacy of virtue) is a fallacy of irrelevance that is based solely on someone's or something's history, origin, or source rather than its current meaning or context. This overlooks any difference to be found in the present situation, typically transferring the positive or negative esteem from the earlier context. In other words, a claim is ignored in favor of attacking or championing its source.

It's undoubtedly true that from an individual's perspective it can seem like a curse. However, what's important in discussions like this is the utility it provides to the population - how it makes people's lives and their economic activity more efficient. Better communication methods are obviously useful there.
I don't know about a source, but Conway had been compiling knot tables since high school, and as a knot with only 11 crossings, the Conway knot is certain to have been on his radar.

I think the best you can hope for from China is Singapore -a business oriented Mosleyan fascism. Considering the lack of British influence there: this seems ridiculously optimistic to me. China will be Chinese.

Western "Democracy" doesn't appear to be some universal desire of peoples; it's as far as can be told from observation a particularist ideology of Anglo and Franco Europeans. Russia's flirtation with "Democracy" (basically, being a US satellite) ended up being chaotic gansterism accompanied by mass death, and they reverted to their historical mean of being run by a strong man and seem to be happier and better off for it.

You joke, but I've wondered the same thing. Apple, of all companies, is happy to re-examine (or discard) the status quo. They dropped the headphone jack on many products -- as they said, it's "over 100 years old, used to help quickly exchange in switchboards". Yet their keyboards still look pretty much like a 19th-century Remington.

You can just deploy the monolith horizontally with runtime/feature flags.
That is exactly how most open source projects (including VS Code itself and others like Chromium) already behave. You can easily clone and build the source code, which has no logos or telemetry or anything else. Microsoft itself then takes this code, bundles in their copyrighted stuff and distributes the final application from their website.

The fact that it is built-in makes me think the browser vendor (Brave) cares more about this issue. Does that not seem like a reasonable assumption?

Advice to a young lady on the Choice of a Major (2009) [pdf]
Hospitals have millions of dollars worth of equipment, contain huge amounts of narcotics, and deal with psyche patients. They need to be armed.

My mother was a nurse and had guns drawn in the hospital by opposing members of a gang there to inspect someone who was shot.

There are three main problems. District attorneys who do not like to charge cops. Police unions protecting cops. And the justice system requires a unanimous jury verdict to convict. This is to protect the accused.

If you think the riots are crazy now, wait until the jury is hung or acquits Floyd because one juror has doubt. Floyd had fentanyl in his system.

The lawyer only needs to convince ONE juror that it wasn’t just Chauvins fault that the fentanyl contributed to it and you can’t know BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT that it was all Chauvins fault and boom, he gets off.

This has a reasonable probability of happening. I hope it doesn’t and he convicted. But this is the real second wave I am worried about. More than Covid.
Not sure if it's still possible to access the vast extension marketplace from Microsoft, which is the true value. If I remember correctly, that can only be accessed from the VS Code released by Microsoft.

That's not really good enough, you will have http1.1 between nginx and the actual server. Many features require actual code framework level support, like server-side push, realtime streams and grpc.
Look how it folds out in Libya:

1. Kaftar has all fancy jet fighters from Russians, and Egyptians. $50m apiece, tear Turkish drones left, and right.

2. The government has Turkish drones, $2m apiece. By the time Kaftar's Mig inflicts a single loss, a swarm of 5 drones already bombed that Mig's airfield to smithereens.

Government forces can expend all of their drones to get an enemy airfield, and they would still win the trade.

How to Create Procedural Gradients
Don't be obtuse. Of course all factors were considered. Keeping people out of offices and shops is not a public health risk. People becoming impoverished and losing health insurance is. That's why the federal government spent $2T protecting people's financial health to offset the damage. The bigger question is why health care access is tied to employment, but there's no way the current regime would consider dealing with that issue.

Also, you're comparing government policy with an academic opinion.
That's an interesting paradigm shift, thanks for sharing.

That’s an “it depends” for me. I do always want the transcript, but let’s appreciate that a competent lecturer brings a topic to life. You don’t have to be Richard Feynman, but you do have to reveal and conceptualise at a pace an informed and inquisitive brain latches onto.

Most video content is not at this level; it’s often either glibly oversimplified (content marketing), bogged down in minutiae (how-to guides), or buried under irrelevancies (what’s up guys).

There is something I’d often prefer to consume as a AV recording, and that is interviews/panel discussion. The nuances of articulation, even body language may be informative. Compare and contrast the transcript with the video at https://www.erlang-solutions.com/blog/let-s-talkconcurrency-... for example.
Hi, It's true that I've spent quite a bit of time into that but it's definitely not at the expense of cultivating knowledge. In fact, this has allowed me to learn more. Most of the repo was generated programmatically initially and that allowed me to be acquianted with services like GitHub, HN and Reddit APIs. I have a few scripts, bookmarkelts, and vim macros that do things for me. All I do is copy a chunk of bookmarks into the right place and push the changes that triggers mdbook build via Travis and updates the website.
The weirdest thing to me is that we have people protesting for fairly deontological reasons - i.e. a reasonable 'killing is wrong', while being ruthlessly utilitarian - 'covid deaths are a price we must be willing to pay for reform'. Interesting!

Except mystery monetization is a pre-req for heavily maintained software that you don't pay for.

I'd rather the mystery be "affiliate deals" than "selling my data".

Mozilla's mystery monetization is getting paid lotsa dollars to make Google the default search engine in Firefox. And Google can only afford that because of ads. If Firefox integrated ad-blocking by default like Brave did, Google might be inclined to pull that deal, as it is paid for with ads.

I trust the company with that conflict of interest less than I trust Brave.
This is a slightly off topic question for you, do you think the attributes you named are required for having a “Forth” or are they just the most common implementation characteristics? My current pet language project certainly looks Forth-like, with different semantics and a modal dependent type system, but is not threaded nor does it have the traditional stacks and dictionary. I don’t know if I’d call it a Forth, but maybe it is?

I've seen hobbyist level plans for them, and a pulsejet requires zero moving parts, so reliability should be excellent. The geometry of the engine does all the work.
