I recently led the project completely rewriting the incident reporting system for one of the top 3 (by size) police departments in the country. This report wouldn't have even come close to passing client-side (or server-side for that matter) validations upon submission. An incident classified as a death with no medical information submitted? Usually the systems have some basic checks in place to ensure that, for example, if a theft occurred, property marked as stolen is present in the report. Likewise for any incident with some sort of physical harm: there's always a medical incident listed too. And a (nearly) blank narrative?! Even if that's due to Louisville PD policy, it still wouldn't have flown in the city I worked in. A simple assault (not battery, no injury) on public transit where the offender ran away and nobody could identify them would've produced a more thorough report than this one.

If this is standard in Louisville and there are no safeguards in their reporting software, stringent incident reporting software ought to be added to the list of reforms we ask of them.
I'm subscribed to your channels and it's pretty much the only thing I watch on YT (besides some other channels you recommended like Jeremy Fielding).

Is there any tool / machinery design in your head that you've been unable to execute yet due to time / space / $$$ constraints?

While that’s a fair point, this situation is a more literal insurrection than the previously seen protests and taking of goods from stores. CHAZ has declared their independence from the USA and historically that kind of thing is really not allowed. Has Trump so thoroughly lost control that secession is legal now?
The market is wrong, but devs should take responsibility for their own professional development. Resume-driven development may optimize for the market, but it probably isn't the fastest way to learn.
I've been heavily active, too active, on the site for over eight years.

It was always lousy, but it's getting worse.

Lastly, I manage groups with hundreds of thousands of people, and I can't get anyone on the phone for anything.

After the countless hours I've spent on LinkedIn, I'm now focussing my energy on ultimately moving away from the platform.

It's so disappointing that I don't want even to log in to see the mess. No joke, this week, my assistant told me "that thing that's been broken and annoying for months was finally fixed." That thing was merely "approving" content in the group moderation queue. Some posts simply wouldn't be approved...

My strategy used to be "build a community using LinkedIn groups."

Now it's "do everything to capture the value I already created in the groups by directing members off of LinkedIn."

It gets worse.

You can't trust their documentation. And I'm not talking about the API. Even information in their help section is factually inaccurate. And it remains published. When confronted, the issue will get escalated until someone comes up with a roundabout excuse for why the published information is correct, but not practically.

I knew better, but I still fell victim to the building on someone else platform problem.

Never again.
I suspect there's two parts:

1. GE can only count the dollars it makes from this little scam, not the dollars it lost. It doesn't see the fact that I now resent them (I discovered this "feature" a month ago) and will likely avoid even buying lightbulbs with their logo on them can't factor into their model.

2. These aren't items you replace often, so it will take years for any negative effect to set in, unless the reviews tank.
No, not even remotely "by all accounts". There are plenty of accounts that isn't "cool and unique" but is just another place ruled by violent thugs: https://www.reddit.com/r/Seattle/comments/h077uv/raz_simone_...

I'm not passing judgment yet since the days are young and the political bias on the ground is thick in both directions. But it is definitely not "by all accounts".

But my personal bias on the table is that yeah, trading police that were imperfectly constrained by the system for new police utterly and entirely unconstrained by the system is probably not going to go well. The real "fun" will start when Raz's faction pisses off enough people to form a violent counterfaction and you get a gang war, so give it a bit. It takes time for these things to develop. Let the honeymoon wear off and have this place showing a functioning system for, oh, say, at least a month before declaring victory. Not that you declared victory, I'm just saying, I recommend against getting too invested in this.

It's not as if "a place that has no police" is some shocking new experiment that has never been run before; you've got plenty of places you can look out in the world to see what happens next. It's not a difficult-to-predict progression.
No they have D&O insurance for that. The Directors don't pay legal fees out of pocket.
Right? DRM water filters is about one of the most neoliberal ideas out there.
From the OP of that post:

>tl;dw: Man was tagging over someone else's art, Raz and group approach and separate him from crowd, chasing him for two blocks. He begins to film them with his phone, they take it from him. He tries to get it back and they attack him, kicking him in the head and breaking his glasses. At one point, Raz threatens to shoot the man. They then begin to gaslight him that it was all his fault. Audio only for most of the end, because woman in Raz' crew filming puts the phone in her pocket while the stream continues. [1]

So it took about 3 days for this anarchist utopia to demonstrate exactly why police exist.

That definitely varies. In my area the city just takes your house, evicts you, and auctions the property.
I'm not sure that's right. It's 60PB [1], not 6PB. According to https://cloud.google.com/storage/pricing Google's cheapest (?) non-redundant archive storage seems to be USD $0.0012/GB/month. 60 PB = 60e6 GB, so 1 year would cost 1260e6.0012 = 864e3 = USD $864 thousand. That's not counting the cost of getting the data in or getting any of it out to use.

This must be the new way to make fridges go obsolete. The old way is to have some part burried in your fridge which is guaranteed to wear out.

I'm in the middle of fixing my old GE fridge. Buried in it is a condensation trough made out of galvanized steel sheet metal. Eventually it rusts away and fridge will make a puddle. Replacement part is $60. Of all the things that could be made of plastic, this should be it..
I'm pretty sure my computer does a lot of AVX while it matches virtual backgrounds to my video feed, or while it tries to figure out voice commands.

All that can be done with SSE and probably with x87 instructions, but, still, software will try to pick the best option.

Not too surprising. Keep in mind that at the time electricity was a luxury and there were very few home appliances that made use of it. The radio, the first piece of electronics more complex than a simple motor or heater that you might find in the "average" home, wouldn't come into widespread use for another decade.
Me shouting at a cloud: "every day" means "all days" or, adverbially, "on every day"; "everyday" means "ordinary, common, expected".

I know I'll get downvoted, but I see the conflation of "everyday" and "every day" everywhere and it's driving me bonkers.

ETA: Note, they are pronounced differently. "Everyday" has a single primary stress on the first syllable. "Every day" has two primary stresses, one on the first syllable and one on the last.

Absolutely true, but you seem to expect them to care about that fact. Recent evidence shows that their selection & training eliminates caring about such issues.

Libraries still buy their books. And the fact that there are limited, physical copies means that access to the book is still controlled in a way that free online copies are not. There is no permanent ownership. A single person can use each copy at a time. That's a vastly different circumstance than the book simply being freely available to everyone everywhere, permanently.
The problem is libraries got into the game of paying for first run titles. They started measuring themselves on checkouts and not what they provide for the community. Is the library really helping the community by overpaying for 50 Shades of Gray the week it comes out so all the soccer moms can read it for 'free'?

I'm not saying libraries shouldn't provide access to all types of books, but they could cut their costs considerably by waiting 6-12 months to stock the hot new book. Then they can use that money to provide other community services.
Scott Alexander recently gave a good summary & review of that book here. A _very_ interesting hypothesis:

By the time I got my first real job as a developer in the mid 90s, I had already spent a decade doing hobby projects in assembly on 8 bit computers and later C on Macs. It had really just become a method to enjoy the big city life in my 20s to mid 30s (including a brief bad marriage).

During that time I dabbled in real estate, was a part time fitness instructor and personal trainer.

In my 40s, I enjoy just working out (home gym), traveling (pre-Covid), hanging out with my wife and friends (again pre-Covid). I have spent a lot of time over the past four years working my butt off at work and after work learning and gaining experience to prepare for (relatively) high paying consulting roles.

Now that is done and I landed a job at $major_cloud_provider, until Covid dies down, I have no idea what life looks like for us on the other side.

Is that really an issue? With windows 10 there's a new version out every 6 months, so it's never going to be that out of date.
That arrangement is primes. The other arrangement is sevens: 1 and 6 opposite each other, 2 and 5, and 3 and 4.

Both of them can be unfair. Assuming rolling high is better, when 1 and 2 are opposite each other, those faces could be slightly smaller and therefore have a smaller chance of landing on them. This is especially easy with hand-made dice, which are bound to be somewhat irregular.

With "sevens", 1, 2, and 3 meet in a single point. If that point is somehow heavier than the opposite point, you're more likely to roll 4, 5 or 6.

I think I'd actually consider the "primes" arrangement to be superior to the modern one. No idea why that switch was ever made.
Depends on the circumstances. I'm 30 years old and I don't have a driver's license. Public transit, biking and walking work just fine.

That doesn't make it sure the torrented data is always available. The index is important, but the data and its metadata are much more important.
This is just incorrect. Unless you think you know some older technology completely, there's always plenty of room to grow and learn on any tech stack. Some of the technologies I use daily, such as vim and bash, have been around for decades, yet I still learn things about them on a regular basis.

In fact, one thing I've learned from working on bleeding-edge tech stacks is that communities around bleeding-edge tech stacks can often be narrow-minded in a way that hinders learning. Many (but not all) members Go community, for example, seem intent on not learning anything from other languages: if you point out that coroutines predate Go by decades and there's a lot to learn about their use from other languages, or that Go actually has a fairly weak type system, you'll get a lot of defensive pushback from Go fanboys who know literally nothing about other languages that contain coroutines, and don't understand that there's a difference between static types and strong types. There are good programmers in bad ecosystems--the folks who are bringing in generics might yet make Go a decent language--but remember that there was immense infighting to get there: I've been keeping track of Go long enough to remember all the people ranting that Go didn't need generics because it had `go generate`--a glorified C macro system (since they couldn't be arsed to learn from the mistakes of even one of the most adjacent languages) that breaks the entire point of not including generics in the first place (to keep the compiler single-pass).

If this is the sort of "growing and learning" you're talking about, I generally tend to avoid working with people who "grow and learn" in this way.
https://github.com/lightvector/KataGo

>KataGo's latest run used about 29 GPUs, rather than thousands (like AlphaZero and ELF), first reached superhuman levels on that hardware in perhaps just three to six days, and reached strength similar to ELF in about 14 days. With minor adjustments and a few more GPUs, starting around 40 days it roughly began to match or surpass Leela Zero in some tests with different configurations, time controls, and hardware. And finally after about four months of training time, the current run may be wrapping up fairly soon, but we hope to be able to continue it or begin another run in the future.
Amen to that! They're so incredibly pushy about the app that it's a red flag in and of itself.

Those are all extremely high end tools though! By comparison, you can probably find a used Unisaw for $500, a used 14" bandsaw for $400, a used 8" jointer for $500-$800 and a used 12" planer for similar if you look around. Yeah, that's a small jointer and planer depending on what you're trying to build, but the point remains that you don't need to spend $10,000 to get started.

And I know somebody is going to point out that the Unisaw is less safe than the SawStop, but the SawStop is only going to save you from cutting yourself. It won't save you from kickback; you still need to know how to use the saw safely. The technology isn't a substitute for training.

If you can find a local makerspace that has a woodshop, you can trade capex for opex, get access to far bigger and better tools than you'd likely buy starting out, not have to pay for the space to put them in, and likely be able to get training in how to use them safely and effectively.
Mostly time constraint. Have been thinking about building a gear cutting machine using a table saw or angle grinder as the cutter. Sort of a single purpose CNC machine.
Interestingly a lot of films (like Transformers and Fast and Furious franchises) cost a lot, yet are incredibly boring. Pulp Fiction, Blade Runner had much smaller budget. And Youtube rocks on modest earnings.

I do not argue against ownership. Just of ability of big money to hide lack of story. It happens that books live in most open (paper) and most close (DRM hardware) variants. Somehow reminds Elsevier and arXiv. I'm glad I don't have to run DRM hardware for software development and this conversation.

Yeah, it's pretty gross for two reasons:

1. Reinforces the broken belief that the best way to evaluate things is based on the perception of others, rather than the intrinsic qualities (like those you mentioned)

2. Adopts a purely consumeristic view of open source

The striking thing is that now these sorts of views are said out loud with no sense of shame.

They are complementary and not the same. I very highly recommend that you get and study "Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective, 3rd edition" since it is a very practical and detail oriented book(i.e. no hand-waving and full of code for x86-64) for the Programmer. Hennessy & Patterson's "Computer Organization and Design: The Hardware/Software Interface" is more high-level with not enough depth while their "Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach" is full on theory book.
Often these delivery services take around 20% off the top of the restaurant's pay in addition to the 'fees and taxes' they take out and 'delivery fee' and 'driver tip', plus specials and discounts generally come out of the restaurant's cut too, plus door-dash and the like also take out cuts on advertising.

But let me take this a step further because you're not just screwing the restaurant...

The delivery driver is ALSO being screwed by the nature of all of this!

You see, on average the pay and tip of a delivery actually is less than the cost of car wear and tear + minimum wage + gas! People take this job to have cash now but will often end up stuck with the bill in the end. By supporting these delivery companies you are actually supporting companies that are taking aggressive advantage of people to drive engagement numbers and eventually...
^ $7.3 Billion in investor payoffs for a company that has effectively only built an app and menu directory and did basically none of the work. They classify drivers as 1099s to avoid having to adhere to minimum wage laws, they dodge laws where they can and take zero responsibility when people screw up. All of them are exploiting poor people and while one can argue that that's the driver's fault.. as long as you pay the Doordash or GrubHub's of the world their fees and as long as they take 20% off the restaurant's cut, the restaurant wont be able to afford to pay to hire more employees which helps these delivery app companies get drivers due to unemployment. Should I also note that this same company used to pocket the driver tip?
Being an apprentice is probably bretter, yes. But I have no idea where you would find a master who wants an apprentice, let alone a master at all.
I believe that you that's a fairly accurate assessment. More so, the whole thing is kind of a red herring.

Facial recognition technology is, after all is said and done, probably illegal in any country that implements the protection of basic human rights into its national laws. If countries (including the USA) do not, it says enough of its own about them. Nor has the idea of (national) exceptionalism ever produced a more equal and/and fair society. AFAIK, not a single in all history.

For those who like to argue that such technology could be legalized when people (collectively) agree with its use through political consensus (aka "the people", through politicians, voted for it), there are good reasons for why basic human rights are defined as "inalienable". Regretfully, many countries have nonetheless ignored that fact, whenever it suited the personal interests of politicians and those that stand behind them in the shadows.

Firefox tells me:

Web sites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust this site because it
uses a certificate that is not valid for lingdong-.github.io. The certificate is only valid for
the following names: www.github.com, *.github.com, github.com, *.github.io, github.io,
*.githubusercontent.com, githubusercontent.com

So it seems it thinks that *.github.io does not match lingdong-.github.io. Perhaps due to the trailing hyphen?
