Camden NJ did do this. They fired their entire police department and started over. Sometimes you have to do that. Sometimes you just need to fire the bottom 1-10%. Maybe give randomly-chosen civil grand juries the power to fire cops. Not just for criminal offenses, just for being subpar at being a cop.

Phobos/Tango. GC, then optional-GC. Compiler support for various platforms was wonky, never sure if I was using the right one.

D as of now is a worthy competitor to Rust, it wasn't always the case, it was more like Go, with the GC. I hit some snags and moved on and didn't go back. I am sticking with Rust.

I think a question with closer alignment is, "Why use Go when D is available" ? D feels like a 5x better Go, not a Rust competitor.
I haven't said anything about your writing at all. Maybe it wasn't clear enough that I meant "you" as in "someone" or "one". I'm sorry it was possible to misunderstand my general statement as a personal attack.

This doesn't have to do with me either -- the market will determine whether any one person is valuable enough to employ (or promote). My only claims are that being able to write makes one more valuable, and that plagiarizing assignments at school fails to teach one to write.

Yours is the form of solution I was expecting early in the article (though it sounds like you went farther) and I wonder if the author would have ended up with something similar if that library didn't exist.

Regarding being reductive though, I think you have to be in this situation. It's a part of a product (not the whole thing) and seems like manual curation could fill in the gaps.
Your proposal is merely a preference for housing over commercial space. Presumably you have your reasons, but if covid sticks around a few more months (which it is certain to do) commercial space might be rented like crude oil: landlords paying tenants! We'll soon see office/retail space converted to expensive housing even without this aggressive intervention. Everyone is working from home now.
I had a similar experience. Since I use GIMP a fair amount for work (just programmer art for documentation), I thought it would be simple. After some comments here on HN, I tried Inkscape which worked excellently.

I'm actually working on something similar now, only the data is sourced from aerial images. I run a startup in this space and we were previously discarding a ton of data because of cloud cover, smog/fog, haze, etc. This is a great application for less useful data, among others (mostly meteorological).

That said, I wouldn't call any early stage startup an "authoritative" source despite my wanting to. Trustworthy for sure, though! Link to the beta is on my profile if you're interested.

WGU might be that. it can be incredibly cheap (compared to your average bachelors degree) if completed quickly and I believe it's regionally accredited, so I imagine it qualifies you.

Now what a hiring manager will think of it is debatable.
It's just too much I think. MSFTs moves with the Xbox One X/S and the new editions are the right direction. Understated designs tend to age better, and they match better with other furniture etc (as much as that matters, it really doesn't).

I also want out of tech; I started 15 years ago as a help desk analyst, now I’m an Engineering Manager. The burn out is real, the golden handcuffs are real and I’m just tired of being in this kind of work, thoroughly sick at what I’m seeing in the tech industry from a career perspective, tired of standups, tired of sprint planning, tired of retros, scrum, “technical recruiters”, the resume skill rat race, interviews, interviewing...[trails off]...

As recently as this morning I was talking to a friend who teaches pre-calc at local high school and tutors part-time independently about potentially making this very career pivot, to the point where I’m legitimately looking at financial aid and scholarships to potentially just go back to school and get a BSc in Maths and Physics so I can go be a school teacher and geek off with kids about science like I do with my nephew whenever I’m babysitting him and we spend hours playing Kerbal Space Program

We are in a period of extended turmoil that might be called the “omni-crisis”
I'm pretty sure I agree with everything you said but I don't see it as a bad thing. PR/marketing (for lack of a better term) might be outside of a language initially but those efforts lead to things like making cargo really good—and it is.

I think it's good for thought leaders to rally people around new ecosystems: excitement breeds innovation. I don't think programming languages need to move to the scientific method and double-blind testing.

That said, you never outright said that it's bad. I'm inferring that from your choice of words.
As a software developer my education has nothing to do with a job or my salary.
I follow your logic, but I really think it's about money since they also put up barriers for testing out of classes.

Usually, a strong state-run community college program lets an Associates degree earned at a community college transfer into any public state university as a Junior. Most non-degree focused classes directly transfer. Going between states (staying in the same regional accreditation) seems to be difficult and not all states are set up like I had described. The theory being that someone who isn't quite ready for university has an opportunity to catch up and in my experience it gives more options when popular prerequisites are full. So the state has a reason to push for this.

I'm also skeptical about universities pointing to their qualification level because I've interviewed graduates from many well known universities and was kind of floored at the basic things many candidates seemed completely unfamiliar with.

Nationally accredited organizations don't have anyone pushing for this relationship. This seems to generally work for those schools because they can advertise as accredited, get a fig leaf of transferring credits, but usually want you to stay and complete tranning there. Most tend to be vocational which makes a lot of that moot.
I emailed a CCPA request to their info email. Will report back with what I hear.
Looks like you agree that an archival-quality document storage assumes a bit more than hashing papers. That was my point.
Personally, at some point Rust was just clearly better and after a while - I lost interest in D. I don't have time to keep track of D catching up, when I'm so happy with Rust, and ecosystem is growing so fast. Maybe D got much better in last few years... but I kind of don't care anymore. It's hard enough to introduce a raising star like Rust to your coworkers and D just don't have traction anymore.

I've been following D since early 2000s. 2 decades. It took it a long time to get good: make it open source, make it community driven instead of one-man show, add some really important features and focus on important things (ownership, memory-safety), get the tools to be good.

It just missed the boat, and never really had a right niche for itself. It was kind Java/C++ mix, and it wasn't all that better to dethrone anyone in that space.

Rust swooped in and executed everything perfectly in a really short time. It's a C++-killer: same strengths, none of the weaknesses. Normal people don't want to touch C++ anymore. Only people that think that CVEs are "just fault of bad developers" (LOL) can still be considering C++ a good language to start new projects in. Industry really, really needed C-like language that was memory safe, and all-round good: both low and high level. And Rust quickly delivered that, borrowing all the great aspects of other languages and addressing a lot of problems.

D is great, and I like it far more than e.g. Go, but it was an ambitious project by one individual for a long time, while Go had a whole Google behind it. There's no shame that it didn't "took over the world". Rust would possibly not do so well if it wasn't for Mozilla support. The marketing, credibility and traction a big backing company like this gives a new language is probably the single bigger reason for different outcomes.
Get some hands on experience with cloud computing - either AWS or Azure - and leverage you’re combined skills of development and cloud to get a role in the cloud consulting department of either Microsoft or Amazon.

Please don't quote that reptile. Of all the reasons to resign from the currently-reigning administration, he chose the fact that Trump had decided to stop killing Syrian children. Not a good look. If the war media is refocusing its attention on him, we can expect he'll be pimping more atrocities real soon. After all the public must be distracted from its current concerns, otherwise we might spend some money on something besides armaments and prisons.

The author doesn't seem to understand or value the human spaceflight, including its uses for science. I'm pausing to imagine a robot which would build - or run - a highly specialized equipment of a particle accelerator and sensor kind on the Moon. Ain't it easier just to send humans to the Moon to do that?

And regarding Mars - let's not go there, it's a whole another topic which alas was so casually dismissed.

Do you have a source for this claim? It is contradicted by https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6347593/

"Evidence-based debates around the origins of thrusting and throwing spear use in human evolution have typically focused on hominin skeletal evidence. Proposals that features of the upper limbs of different species of Homo indicate that throwing only comes into play with H. sapiens23,35 are hampered by multiple issues. These include small sample sizes, human variation in populations36, evidence that humeral robusticity and shape may not correlate with strains in weapon use37, and a lack of clarity whether any single activity contributes to or offsets bone remodeling or robusticity36,38,39. Others argue for an earlier emergence of throwing, showing that features necessary for accurate and powerful throwing are evidenced in H. erectus fossils40–42. A recent find of an early Neanderthal dating to MIS 7 from Tourville-la-Rivière shows skeletal trauma consistent with repeated throwing, supporting the hypothesis that they were capable and frequent throwers43."

> without the proper infrastructure to control them.

Many, myself included, would argue that they're basically out of control right now. Just look at the sequence of events that unfolds almost to the letter after every unjustified police killing. At best the outcome is the cop involved resigns and quietly goes to work for another police department a few months down the line or retires with full benefits.

Defund of course means a million things to a million people but a lot of what I'm hearing is about moving the armed police response to the minority of roles where it's needed. The amount of time you need an armed officer is a tiny fraction of the times they're there and they're not trained for the vast majority of the actual work they do. Under this defund is about taking the glut of resources allocated to cops and moving it to people better trained to deal with the kind of mental health, mediation, etc tasks that take up the bulk of police's actual time.

> if you can't feel comfortable in a suit and assume therefore it's impossible to for anyone to be comfortable in one,

I don't think you can't be comfortable, I just think they're less comfortable. No one spends a lazy Sunday afternoon on the couch watching TV while wearing a suit, if they were more comfortable than other clothes this would be common. Either way your solution of getting better suits or a tailor is an unnecessary expense I can do without.

As far as signalling goes it generally means the opposite of it's intention to me, if I see someone in a suite I'm more likely to think used car salesman, mormon or boss. I'm immediately much more skeptical and defensive because they'll want to sell me something or control me.
Not sure about your use case but if it's simple enough consider not using an object storage service and just serve the files from the filesystem.
We visited Christiania a few years ago. It was lovely. The entire time, we felt just as safe as anywhere else in Copenhagen, and we didn’t see any evidence of drug use (certainly less than you’d see “on the wrong side of the tracks” in any other big city).

If you have a chance to visit Christiania, I recommend it. Copenhagen is one of my favorite towns. They have wonderful parks, museums, and even a really cool amusement park.
Hmm yea I can dig that. Next time it comes up I'll mention sethhammons told me to do it.

- It's called Antifastan

- Warlord Raz is prone to violent outbursts, and is an AirBnb Superhost.

- There are open carries with automatic rifles. They get the most respect.

- Laughing out loud at an attempt to create a vegetable garden. Didn't appear promising.

- Laughing harder at a cry for 'please send vegan meats and soy products, the homeless took all the food!'

My thinking is, the truth is much more clearly painted in this forum than on either side of the mainstream media. I do consider them the enemy of the people for dividing us, pitting us against each other, and creating an oppression of fear. So they can sell more clicks.
As far as I know, D does not have ADTs (algebraic data types, a.k.a. tagged unions, a.k.a. Rust enums). I see that it has "enums" and "unions", but neither of these appear to be ADTs if I'm reading them correctly.

And Rust's borrow checker can give very strong guarantees that aren't present in any other mainstream language that I'm aware of. In Rust, you can pass mutable references to large data structures between threads, without copying or GC or any type of runtime checking (e.g. Mutexes), and the borrow checker will guarantee that you can't have a data race (data race = concurrent read & write). In comparison, I believe that in Haskell you'd do this with GC, in Java you'd do it with GC and a mutex, and in C you'd do it very carefully.

As another example, in Java if you modify an ArrayList while iterating over it, you'll get a ConcurrentModificationException. In Rust, you can't. The borrow checker won't let your program compile.

The cost of this borrow checker is huge: every reference in every program needs to be annotation with whether it's shared or mutable, and you often need to splatter confusing lifetime annotations all over the place. It adds a big learning curve to the language.

I don't know the details of D's ownership system, but it's not like Rust's borrow checker. Does someone who does know more want to describe it? I've just seen the language reference page here, that describes "scope" and "returns".

The de-Bayering filter in a camera is a lot more sophisticated than a simple interpolation of pixels of the same color. Most real world images have a huge amount of correlation between the R,G,B channels because few colors are perfectly saturated. Filtering software takes advantage of this and gets much higher resolution than simple interpolation ever could.
Exactly. That's like saying research suggests that the average person fits best into a medium size T-shirt, so that's best T-shirt for me.
Kinda. Clojure peaked interest around 2015 and has been declining ever since.

I think if it wasn't tied to the JVM ecosystem, it probably would have seen a lot more success outside of server side stuff. The long bootstrapping startup really is a killjoy. Then again, a lot of the type that made it popular in the first place came from being a part of the JVM ecosystem.
You can make similar arguments for many other industry titans too. If you don't cater to Apple you will lose out on major chunk of high paying people, if you don't cater to Amazon you will miss out on a lot of e-commerce sales, if you don't cater to Instagram you will miss out younger audience.
