"substantial and unjustifiable risk that the result will occur or that the circumstance exists"

I'd argue that it's not likely also, but I would say it is substantial, which is sufficient under the law.

I understand the reasoning provided. I think it wantonly risks death for unjustifiable reasons. They can provide their justifications, but to me (were I sitting on a jury) I would think an objective reasonable person would not agree with them.

It sounds like we're mostly in agreement on their actions creating a circumstance where the death could occur. I think at this point maybe the only difference between us is whether that risk is "justifiable" as described in the statute.

I think it is not and (again, given the specific facts I proposed which would have to be proven at trial) I would find them guilty of manslaughter.
I wasn't under the impression that's why he was at Intel to begin with. I thought he was there in more of a leadership position to try and get the engineering team on more solid footing.

In that regard, it would make more sense that he left due to going against the current and finally throwing in the towel after finding more resistance to what he wanted to do?
> But knowing these sorts of things is part of her job, so to dismiss it would take something stronger than some mocking denial.

On the contrary, if it comes from Seattle PD it's better to just assume it's not true.
I think most people switch from dev to PM because that's generally how you move up the ladder and make more money. Management is where the money is at. There are other reasons too, like I would want to switch so I can be more architecture and business process focused and not need to constantly learn new languages. This might not be the case at some small companies or FAANG.

I know one person who made a similar switch to development. It wasn't a PM, but a business analyst position.

I think they had to get a CS degree at night school to make the transition official. I strongly recommend this in case you need to switch companies. Appling to a developer role without a related degree on your resume will likely get you dropped from the candidate pool during the OCR screening of your resume.

I didn't see them as being very technically talented. They were good at learning a procedure and executing it, but I felt they didn't have command of good architectural concepts. They made it to the level of tech lead though, so I guess I'm just the odd ball.

Good luck!

Yes. I am feeling lonely and depression is causing me more daily distress than pre-COVID19. I moved to a new city three years ago but have struggled to make any meaningful friendships. Without the small talk and board game nights from my workplace, loneliness consumes a lot of my mental space in these days.

Edit: In fact, this is my first HN comment. As a long-time lurker I thought maybe participating might alleviate some of these negative feelings.
Yeah, realistically it would only work with sites specifically designed for that browser. Don't think interoperability would be the goal with something like this.
I hate to use the most cliche word from California startup culture, but... maybe someone needs to... umm... disrupt unions?

Could you start a new kind of union as a kind of non-profit startup?

If I wanted to do this I'd leverage modern information technology to create covert communication channels for organizing and leverage big data, machine learning, and game theory to drive organization and bargaining strategies. You could apply pressure across supply chains, not just in individual industries, and you could really be quite a pain in the ass. Cambridge Analytica for the working class?

Also ditch the work rules and other antiquated industrial era ideas. Just go for pure financial and quality of life outcome. Work with industries if they're willing to play ball, but be a major pain in the ass when they don't. Negotiate, you know.

Honestly the hacker in me would be tempted if I had the time, skills, background, and connections. It would be a chance to wear a black hat and feel good about it. :)

If you did this you'd also have to be damn serious about opsec and tradecraft. When you threaten to increase labor costs, the gloves come off. I'd be about as worried about security doing this as I'd be running a dark web drug market.
I defer to moderators whether this crosses the line on political content.

It's interesting how this is organized by largely college educated people, many of whom are not PoC, and I think the federal response to this will be tolerance because these people are ultimately vying for institutional power, and feds realize they will all be working for one another in 10 years.

It's less about right/left than how I'd posit if CHAZ were operated by non-college educated people or even was exclusively a movement by people of color, the federal authorities would have already found some pretext for lethal force. It's not like the CHAZ organizers are poor or relatively uneducated people without political recourse, like say, a niche religious sect, some ranchers, or even just a radicalized family - all examples of subjects of federal sieges in recent memory.

Communes and autonomous zones are romantic, but they exist because they are tolerated or explicitly used as a source of volatility by a movement already within the establishment.

If this seems provocative, I'd argue it gets to the crux of the issue of why certain movements are tolerated and others are not. CHAZ is a tactic in a conflict between movements that are far above it within the establishment. That it has not been subject to an ATF-style siege shows it necessarily is the expression of top level political backing.

There are numerous precedents for how this plays out, as it has throughout history in France, Russia, Germany, China, and Cambodia. Unfortunately, the advice I have for people everywhere is above all, you must find a way to resist the isolation, paralysis, and atomization that separates people from their communities, which will be used to cow people into tolerating horrible things that will themselves just build momentum. The only way for CHAZ and related movements to yield peace is for people to recognize that before their relationships to these movements (positive or negative), you are members of families, neighbourhoods, communities, trades, professions, regions, and not insignificant atoms subject to global forces of history and nature. Especially if ostensibly isolated acts of terror begin.

I think it is urgent to recognize that there are precedents for what's happening today that provide predictive power to how this could play out, and to equip people with a reminder to above all resist political atomization, especially when it becomes hard to do so, because it deprives us all of our humanity, which is the only thing standing between us and the darkest chapters of history.
Set small winnable goals – Tim Ferris
This, combined with other measurements (like washing hands frequently, no coughing in hands, or staying home when you have a cold, and proper ventilation), could be a reason to stop the lockdowns. We can go back to the office.
It might also help local businesses like restaurants, cafes, small shops to be visited indoors for a longer amount of time than currently possible.

I'd like to mention this video that goes into detail about aerosols and their behaviour in unventilated areas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhM9Zt5tZjY
Two quotes from Tim Ferris:
(1)“My quota is two crappy pages per day. I keep it really low so I’m not so intimidated that I never get started.”

(2) “That’s what I’ve done for my last three books is two crappy pages per day. That’s all I need.”
Cool. Are you still streaming to Twitch for the actual streaming?

Are you hosting replays? If so, how are you doing that?

Did you have to build custom software to do polls or was that something off the shelf?

Another Q: if you're streaming to Twitch (or YouTube), how do you prevent anyone with the link just watching the stream? Basically how do you control the registered viewing experience?

Sorry for all the Qs: you're being fantastic with responses!

Speaking of weird Windows/Unix quoting complexities, the following makes a WSL equivalent of cmd's start:

alias start="cmd.exe /c start '' ${@//&/^&}"

I don't remember where I found the details, but they're not of my invention. This may have some strange edge case failures, but works pretty well in my experience, including with spaces in filenames, but only for Windows folders, not WSL-specific ones (cmd.exe barfs, but maybe it would be possible with PowerShell).
Comment OP here

I am an avid gamer who players a couple of hours of Apex Legends and Call of Duty Modern Warfare everyday. And I've been info FPS gaming for 2 decades now.

To play a game released a couple of decades ago and see it take up almost the same amount of resources as the games I mentioned earlier gave me a chuckle.

I commend the developer for his effort though. To make a game like that run on browsers is a mighty impressive effort and it is Uber cool. I don't dispute that even for a second.
Not an EE but I'll proffer an opinion. Pulling chips from scrap is largely useless because there aren't any datasheets available to identify the function, pinout, and timings to operate them. Options that come to mind are:

Diode logic with an amplifier between each stage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diode_logic) or DTL. Discrete surface mount diodes are still present on circuit boards and can be extracted for re-use. See the IBM 1401 for an example of a simple DTL computer.

Relay logic (https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/relay_computer). Building relays by hand using scrap material is practical, though difficult. Expect your gizmo to have the size, capability, and power requirements similar to the Zuse Z2 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z2_(computer) ).
SpaceX is possible because Elon was part of the PayPal Mafia. To start a company like SpaceX or Tesla, you must be fantastically wealthy -- at least billions in net worth. Elon is one of the only people who could've started SpaceX.

This is not to detract from the contributions that Elon has made, but to indicate that there are potential Elons all around you. How many engineers would've built something similar if they had resources? Consider that even John Carmack, despite millions in personal fortune, had to abort Armadillo Aerospace because it was too expensive. If he had a PayPal-size exit, we may've had a SpaceX many years earlier!
If you bother to read the manual [1], it explicitly states that this happens. Almost at the top of the page. Hardly "silent".

Hey everyone, I'm the author of Dexplot. I have written large sections of books on seaborn, have taught it in classes for years, and had many issues with it, some of which are outlined below:

• Not allowed to set figure size

• No wrapping of tick labels

• No strings for pandas aggregation functions

• No automatic ordering of x/y labels (dexplot provides several options)

• Having to use separate grid functions (catplot, lmplot) for multiple subplots

• Something like 5 different functions for scatterplots. Dexplot has one

• No relative frequency bar charts, which are a fantastic way to explore data. Dexplot provides normalization over any set of variables

• No stacked bar charts

• Seaborn docs have distribution plots (box, violin) in the "categorical" section. A major distinction needs to be made between plots that aggregate, those that show distributions, and those that plot raw data (like scatterplots)

• Returning of matplotlib axes or seaborn grid objects. Dexplot always returns the matplotlib figure

• Seaborn is essentially dead as far as I can tell with few changes in the last 2-3 years. There are even parameters that continue to be non-functional

In the future, Dexplot will add:

• Many more plotting functions

• Several apps (built from ipywidgets) to explore data. Currently, there is one for viewing colors

• Better automatic figure sizing (it exists now, but will be improved)

• Automatic DPI detection so that matplotlib inches correspond to actual screen inches

Dexplot aims to be very intuitive, easy to use, consistent, and allow easy exploration (the name is a smashing together of data exploration plotting).

Here is one example comparison between dexplot and seaborn. https://twitter.com/TedPetrou/status/1271436948721328129

Examples such as these are what drove me to create the library.

I'd love to get feedback and happy to take detailed criticism.

For me, the pinnacle of Windows Explorer UI was Windows 2000. I am such a fan of it that for the many years I was a Mac user, I wished that there was a Finder replacement that was more like Windows Explorer.

The change in Explorer I hated the most was when they switched the '+' in the tree view to disclosure triangles.

I still use Classic Explorer [1] on every Windows computer to try and get File Explorer to look like older Explorers as much as possible.

This is a crucial argument. Do you have a link to something that supports your statement that “this is not objectively true”? I think it would help a lot in these debates.
Certainly not, it's using Xash.
Here’s the thing, if you set up a new union, you don’t have to follow the same model as the ones that don’t work well in the us, you can follow the ones that do. You also don’t have the same incentives or personnel as the unions you mentioned, an engineering union would look quite different just in terms of the personality types of the people involved if nothing else.
I agree with 'de_watcher that FOSS/encumbered is an orthogonal axis to complexity/simplicity.

Lots of FOSS software is excessively complex (the systemd ecosystem of shovelware comes immediately to mind) and lots of FOSS is simple. Similarly there are untold thousands of overcomplicated/overengineered proprietary suites and of course it's hard for a graphical application to get simpler than notepad.exe.
I'm a data engineer at a large corporation. At my current company, we use Pentaho to extract and transform our data from Oracle daily. The transformed data is loaded to a staging database where we then model it to a star-schema. Then the final results are bulk loaded to an on-prem DW. The process takes hours to complete.

I’m interested in moving to a model that continually extracts changed data to a data lake, then using the power of a cloud data warehouse to read those files and perform the transformations and modeling in SQL. I guess that's the ELT concept that you mentioned in the book's summary.

Goal being to reduce the latency and allow for the possibility of more frequent batches, as well as making the process more accessible to my team with strong SQL skills and being able to adapt faster to changing business needs.

This book looks like a good foray for me to get a glimpse into those new process. Thanks for putting it together.
Blues exist along a range of brightness values and blues work great in dark terminals and editors all day every day for many many people. I'm typing into a browser window surrounded by probably about 4 or 5 terminal and editor windows peeking out of the background with somewhere between 5 and 10 different shades of blue on dark grey backgrounds and they look clear, bright, and amazing. The dark background makes the blues pop.
You raise an interesting point, but I wonder if the point is less that people trust the brand than they _distrust_ the government. Do you think it might be possible that however much people distrust corporations, they at least trust the corporation to function unlike the government, which they only trust to deepen dysfunction?
From my experience building (not writing) relatively complex Rust applications like Alacritty, it's really not that bad. Building for release is definitely slower than C++, but development builds are almost always instant for me, as they're done incrementally.
This is cool. EdTech is undergoing unprecedented digital transformation right now. Anecdotally I can say the more personal the video interaction, the more instructive. And meshing one-on-one live video with live pair programming will be the holy grail ;)

On the coding side, I've had more success using P5JS than block-based and visual environments like Scratch. I think the great thing is that students can then advance on their own. Diving right into the API reference, The Nature of Code textbook and The Coding Train YouTube tutorials using state of the art AI techniques.

For live interactive video I use Twilio and WebRTC. But will also be experimenting with Mux soon. Best of luck!
Patroni's documentation also seems to suggest that even with the strongest settings, it can lose transactions; Stolon makes stronger claims.

Literally the first thing any concurrency course starts with in the very first lesson is that scheduling and context overhead are not negligible. Is it so hard to expect our professionals to know basic principles of what they are dealing with?
You're missing the point. The point is that Rust came from Mozilla. Its mind-share started with web people and is expanding from there. What I'm trying to get across is that those social forces can matter more for adoption than just the tech's appropriateness, considered in a vacuum.

None of the performant async frameworks in those benchmarks are written in python (unless I missed one).

The takeaway of this article is that python’s async io implementations perform poorly.

That’s surprising, since async I/O is usually used for performance reasons, and in most other languages, async I/O can be much faster.
What do you do with all of the people, and the entire system, that's been built and trained for a century to not do that?

I doubt many people are against the idea of a specialized government role that provides protection services.

What they are against is:

* Thinking we can get that role by reforming existing police systems, given how opposed police systems are to such reform

* That these systems need the absurd budgets of police departments

* That the role requires absurd levels of protection for violent actions

* That the role requires armaments in the majority of cases

Going form police to a role that fits those criteria is going to start with not having police.
I badly want to quit and have a small farm.

The idea of being my own boss and not being subject to the whims of my bosses or corporate bureaucracy is very appealing (my company doesn't follow their own policies). I have also been tasked with learning obscure technology such as FileNet or Neoxam. This leaves me feeling like all my effort and expertise is thrown away when the project winds down or gets outsourced. This feeling of my company throwing me away or wasting me has completely sapped my motivation (why try when I'll just be thrown away again? ).
