It has helped me so much in applying TDD rigorously in every app that I write by giving me very quick feedback on code I write.

The simple fact you can refactor something and within seconds know if everything still works is a massive time saver and that allows me to write better tests.
It also makes flaky, slow and coupled tests visible as you get used to the speed of test execution that the “bad” ones jump out at you.

Well worth the license
It's akin to "single payer" in the health insurance context. If you're not already well-versed in the subject, you probably won't know what it means, because it's focusing on the process rather than the intended result.

It's a hard question because many "social services" calls are violent. Do we expect a social worker to protect a child from an abusive parent? Do we send both an officer and a social worker? How do we know the people calling 911 were accurate in their description of the situation or that it won't escalate?

Regardless, I agree that the dialogue is important and overdue.
Single factor is more than fine in the case where you know the admin (yourself) is going to use a 30 char random password and use a password manager that won’t autofill it on phishing domains.
This is also a problem of people not understanding that audio conferences aren't just a regular conference but with headphones.

There are a few things that most meetings could benefit from. Having an organizer who's aware of the differences between leading an in person meeting and a remote meeting, cutting video to save bandwidth if the meeting doesn't absolutely need it (the organizer can usually just disable the function), muting when you're not speaking (by far the best quality of life improvement, can be done silently by the organizer if someone is just doing their Vader impersonation throughout the meeting), using the "raise hand" function (again, the organizer plays a huge role here), using the native app instead of the web one usually provides better quality and performance, using a wired connection instead of wireless if possible, sometimes even starting meetings at non-standard hours (like 15 to/past the hour) helps avoid the rush of people logging in at the same time, etc.

Samsung has 20% of the market and a lot more of the high end market. Going with "not Google" means a lot of users no longer using Google Play Store and services. It most certainly would "affect" Google.

It’s a game of chicken and one Samsung can’t win, but Google probably doesn’t want to inflict on them. Look at how well Huawei is doing outside China without google services (they’re dead in the water). Samsung doesn’t want that and can’t build an app ecosystem on their own. If Google pulls them and android and more importantly the android SDKs and dev tools toward Fuschia, I guarantee you that Samsung will follow.

At the same time I think Google would be foolish to intentionally antagonize one of their most successful partners. If Samsung’s bungled reaction was to try to go it alone with Tizen or hold out upgrading their phones to a new android, it only helps Apple and iOS, and that’s the last thing google wants.
Whatever the reason be it cultural, environmental, or ?? the US violent crime rate even removing all gun related incidents is still significantly high then most other first world countries.

> And have to update each software package manually as in windows/macos? (even worse, have a backdoor updater build-in on packages)

I only use Windows for gaming so IDK there, but almost everything I use on macOS is installed with Homebrew (a package manager). Even crapware like Slack. Though yes some of those do decide to use their own built-in updaters after that—no helping that, if you must use their software, but being able to script installation of them through one interface is really nice.

> But why?

It shouldn't be possible to break one's system with the same tool, commands, and privileges one uses to install Tux Racer. Installing normal user-facing packages shouldn't require privileges that even allow for screwing with basic system software.

> Any and all security updates should be installed as soon as possible, regardless if it is a kernel update or a browser update.

God damn I guess I picked a bad example because folks are really stuck on that. Reverse it then: if I want the latest drivers, xorg, and kernel, including feature updates, what's that got to do with my installation of Tux Racer? Why are those connected in any way whatsoever? Why do the same tools manage installing and updating both? "Build it from source then" yeah but I like package managers except for oddball stuff like dwm, I'm not saying get rid of them.

I could use Homebrew or Nix on top of some distro but that's a road full of jank and more fiddling-with-trivia than I have patience for these days. I'll crankily live with Void Linux for now and pine for a robust, small, tested, rock-solid base system built for using one or more complementary and supplementary user-facing package managers on top of. I mean macOS isn't even built for that, exactly, it just suits the case very well. I wish there were a Linux distro that did, too.
If most people realized that protesters mean "abolish" when they say "defund", the reaction would be a bit different (see https://newrepublic.com/article/158104/rush-redefine-defund-...).

When most people hear "defund the police" they assume it means cutting police budgets, and perhaps also involves repurposing money for social services. But reforming any organization generally takes more money, not less -- for example, things like more/better/longer training for officers and better handling of citizen complaints all cost money.

Both of the generally accepted options would have bad outcomes: a society without any policing, or police departments mandated to reform without the funding necessary to succeed.
There's a reason most other labor unions don't want anything to do with cops joining. A police union is closer to a mafia family that protects its members instead of a traditional labor union.
A couple of tools so far not mentioned, that have been hugely beneficial to me:

1. Copernic Desktop Search pre version 3. The version I use is over ten years old and still looks and works better than any other desktop search product I've ever used. Instant results when searching your file and network system, presented in a format appropriate view. Please note that the version is important here, it went from being a stunning piece of freeware to a worthy corporate product years ago.

2. Trello. Every non-trivial task I undertake is managed through here, it's so simple and flexible.
Police toxicity is a path-dependent phenomenon. We got here by decades of incrementalism, where politicians, many of whom were, at the time, avowed racists, agreed to various aspects of civilian-police relations. Simply starting over today with current civilian leadership to draft a new doctrine guarantees a dramatically different outcome.
If the goal is to prevent police brutality, it seems like it would be more effective to deal with the problem directly - punish police officers who use excessive force.

Derek Chauvin, the officer charged for murdering George Floyd, has had 18 previous complaints against him [0]. If police officers can get away with using excessive force, then they might think that it's acceptable behavior.

Reducing the police force by 20% could reduce police brutality by 20%. But you're also reducing legitimate police activity by 20%.

I'd rather see efforts focused on getting justice for victims of police brutality and excessive force.

> Long forgotten by most... almost no English speakers in the twenty-first century have read it...

I'm surprised by the breathless tone of the opening paragraphs. Machado is a central figure in the literature of Brazil. In English, he is obscure and unread in the same way that other central figures of other national literatures are obscure and unread. This is not unique to either Brazil or Machado. Very few arbitrarily chosen readers in the US could name a national literary figure from, say, Hungary or Finland. But if you consider only the readers who are interested in world literature, Machado is certainly both well-known and widely read.

I wish rather than buy the machines back at a massive discount, Apple would allow us to upgrade ourselves so we can extend the lifetime and usefulness of the machines. In just a few years a 20 - 30 terabyte NVMe upgrade would be feasible on all devices from the last few years if the storage wasn't soldered. Maxing our RAM and storage later and using our machines years longer because of it is vastly superior for the environment than Apple simply reusing what metals and parts they can.
Putting any of this on display, barriers or no, means you're slowly destroying it. If preservation were the primary aim, nobody would be allowed inside except epigraphers and photographers. Want to see these monuments? Look at the photographs, drawings, and models like this.

But of a old thread, but all Nikon's that can take video have thermal sensors and cut off when reaching "too hot". There have been people note in hot locations like Australia that they cannot record for 10 minutes before the camera shut off. So Nikon's at least are "safe to use".

my perception with zoom (only based use, not actual knowledge of how it works) is that it has two modes: one where it tries to isolate the speaker and auto-mute everybody else, and another where it can't figure out who the speaker is and just lets all audio through. so if everybody on the call is singing together, it should all come through.

But I think it's healthy that actual defunding is on the table now. The police need to be accountable. It may be a solution to the police union problem. Defund, start over without the union.
Came to say something similar. I’d love to see some kind of hybrid x86-ARM system that is able to retain the value of Apple’s x86 investments while also leveraging Apple’s deep ARM investments in the PC product lines.
I agree that is a real issue. By my point is that the proposed solution is now that Google itself is now going to have to maintain support for old Fuschia devices because the burden is now on them to maintain this stable ABI. How is this going to solve anything compared to just making a support promise about a particular Linux version? Nothing here seems like it would improve for the app developers.

You can't make good policies as emotional reaction of a recent event. I have seen next to 0 non-radical politically feasible research from left wing or black think tanks. Most of the research focused on reducing police violence comes from the Libertarian think tanks like Cato or Fee. Conservative think tanks somehow like police brutality. President's tweet today[1] perfectly summarizes the position of conservatives on police violence.

"Defund the police" could have been sensible slogan had these people talked about it for last 10 years producing research and suggestions. Right now it is just a rallying cry.

My main responsibility is developing and maintaining a microservice written in Java.

However, one thing I've found invaluable over the years is developing operational tools to support my deployed code, in a language with a built in REPL.

At different times, I have used Clojure and Jython for this (high level way to call my Java libraries, or to invoke APIs over the network), and most recently Ruby (has been easy to deploy and run scripts or ad hoc commands over irb for operational tasks, in the same environments where my service runs).

This allows me to build up code over time that I can use to

* Quickly make calls to my service to triage or debug production issues.

* Write scripts to quickly validate a new install.

* Script operational tasks at a high level that doesn't make sense to build into the service itself (can allow the service to be more stateless, for example).

* Bypass layers and make calls to the underlying database (can be more powerful than the command line tools dedicated to a specific database).

* Can be more powerful and composable than curl or Postman for making web calls.

* Have used it to analyze the state of messages in a Kafka topic (with a custom gem).

So I highly recommend building a tool set around a language with a good REPL for anyone responsible for a service with a REST API, or any other kind of API available over a network.
This applies to everyone on the call

Okay, but in that scenario, that private police officer won't have the collective benefit of a public union. A DA won't be biting the hands that feed them if they choose to prosecute a private police officer.

And the poor are dying from a death of a thousand social services cuts- diminished mental and physical health services, childcare and teen programs, etc. It's not unreasonable to assess whether local spending on police and other services can be re-balanced for better community outcomes.
"To be fair much of Scotland used to be covered in forestry and has been denuded. There are some interesting projects showing what happens if the land is simply protected from over grazing (particularly by deer)."

Interesting this popped up, as I'm studying an Ecosystem Restoration Design Course and the first week was studying exactly this, related Ted Talk here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAGHUkby2Is

But yes, overgrazing is the main culprit there (and also in a lot of other places that have suffered ecosystem collapse).
The problem is that would lead to cognitive dissonance, as the people who want to defund the police also tend to be very pro-union.

Seeing it like this kills all mystic notions I had regarding these tombs. And I don't mean this in a negative way, it sort of opens your eyes to what this thing actually is - a conglomeration, made by many artists and engineers, pouring their hearts and souls into building something to last a millennia.

That is until you remember it was all in service of some rich guy who thought he was a god, and had them build this as a monument to his supposed might. Ironically, his existence was entirely inconsequential, and merely provided an excuse for the true geniuses of the time to tunnel their talents into a magnum opus. They, together, were the true gods.
Only true ideals transcend time, and any individual thinking himself a god would be wise to acknowledge that; you can become a god only if you let youself die and embody an ideal fully.

Yup, filesystems in general should have a database/SQL interface. I'm currently using CouchDB and Apache Tika to index and search my files. It works but there is no way people who are not programmers would enjoy using such a system. It's extremely inelegant and requires constant context switching and I'd much rather be using an operating system that had all this functionality as part of the filesystem interface.
To me it seems that SF is still fairly safe. In my opinion a lot of people don't understand who SF is 'for' these days.

It's not for poor people (no doubt) and it's not really for billionaires either, for people so untethered from jobs and material needs that place is irrelevant.

If you can pick up and pay cash for a Tahoe house tomorrow, sure, you might leave. But that resident was never very plentiful. They might make for an interesting anecdote, but in the big picture, they don't matter.

SF's core value, today, is for this person:

You work for Google, or Apple, for FaceBook, or an accomplished startup. You are a senior engineer or an executive. You may have gone to an Ivy League. You want to live in a fun, world-class, brand-name city - but not Palo Alto or San Jose. Where can you go?

San Francisco is pretty much alone in its category here, as the type of city that type of person likes. There's no good substitute in the area; "a really clean Starbucks and a top-notch Target" ain't it, and will never be it.

While there may be fluctuations in house sales and so forth, I think SF will continue to rank highly with that demographic. And as long as that's true, housing prices will be safe.

I have a problem on the brand new Mac (2 different ones, after getting a replacement) where USB A devices stop working every few hours and don't work until a reboot. I've tried 4 different USB hubs including Apple's own USB-C to USB-A connector. I've tried different computers, keyboards, mice. Nothing works. After about a month of back and forth with Apple, they finally admitted it was an operating system bug.

I can't debug it or even view USB requests because Apple has now locked everything down. The internal display sometimes doesn't work until I restart.

USB devices on the brand new MacBook Pro 13" do not work for more than a few hours. Apple does not care about macOS.

Disciplinary policies are "on the table" in negotiations between many city governments and police unions. Taking away funding for salaries will actually add more pressure to make other concessions, which will make the police brutality problem even worse.
