Some protests are allowed but not all? Why?
Maybe a bit off topic. But am I the only one who thinks "simple builds should have NO config"?
Don’t get me wrong. I agree with the thrust of what you’re saying. It’s just that the parent said it was partisan because it was being misapplied as opposed to applied at all. I was trying to point out the contradiction in the comment. That’s all.

I thought this article would be relevant given the current political climate. This covers a historical event in which the police were out-gunned and the aftermath playing an important role in the gear-augmentation of police forces.

Wow. This is what I call action from those who hold office. Thank you.

I hope the new iteration of MPD is more effective at keeping everyone safe and preserving order that in a manner that is fair to everyone regardless of race.
No, but you should self-isolate. And if you test positive, people you came into contact with should be notified.

And this isn't a retcon. I got TTSI from vihart's video which was based on this work published in April: https://ethics.harvard.edu/covid-roadmap
Time from infection to symptoms is 1-15 days. Then add the time that you’re in the hospital trying to be saved before you die. “ Yang et al. (4) reported that the median time from symptom onset to radiological confirmation of pneumonia was 5 days (interquartile range [IQR] 3–7 days); from symptom onset to intensive care unit (ICU) admission was 11 days (IQR 7–14 days); and from ICU admission to death was 7 days (IQR 3–11 days). Therefore, a median of 13 days passed from pneumonia confirmation to death ([11–5] + 7 = 13).” ( https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/6/20-0320_article )
Very useful view of the Linux kernel. Is this generated from source code by some tool? Would love to know the process that went into creating this.
Even if that were true, it's not enough.
Is it desirable for a distributed Python package to write files to a hardcoded absolute path? Wheels seem to respect the `package_data` setup key, which is definitely inside the library path and seems to work pretty well for library data. I'd be a bit horrified if a package I installed from Pypi attempted to write stuff in `/etc/` or whatever. I guess I'm just asking, aren't these two separate problems (config management and Python packaging)?
In all fairness, the context of my post is also relevant.

I was not responding to pertinent points of the discussion, but to two statistics placed side by side without any further elaboration.
Unfortunately this is not what has been encouraged by freelancer sites. They advertise being cost effective instead of being able to find better/more suited talent.
What is pretty obviously going to happen is that police will simply move from areas that want to get rid of them to areas that support them.

I don't think the Minneapolis PD cops will have to move to Australia to find a job. They'll just find work a few miles further away, whether it's public or private security.
I just hope its a fun ode to pop culture instead of an uncomfortably detailed exploration of highly private aspects of the puzzle maker's personal life.

Charli consented by giving Bob a line of credit. (If she hadn’t, and hadn’t owed Bob any money, the transaction wouldn’t have gone through her.) It’s up to each individual participant to set the credit limits on their friend pairings according to their own risk tolerance and trust level. If Bob turns out to be a deadbeat, Charli probably shouldn’t have given him any credit; but that’s not a technical problem.

In practice, I’d expect that if Offset (or another p2p mutual credit system) catches on, you’d see mostly two main ways of using it: friends and maybe local businesses giving small amounts of credit to each other (think splitting the bill for lunch, or a local plumber and a bakery) based on mutual trust, and writing off the occasional bad debt the same way they do now; and larger “commercial” lenders who work like present-day credit card companies, tracking credit scores and the like and with the force of law behind them if you don’t pay your overdue bill.

I got very skeptical reading the reaction to the antibody studies here. Also, the total hate for Sweden really depressed me. I've always held this place in high regard but I suppose it's still just more of the same.
Not really, no. You can go back to medical journal articles from early march and see they were using Chinese and Korean data and predicted between 0.1-1% death rate per infection (IFR).

> On the basis of a case definition requiring a diagnosis of pneumonia, the currently reported case fatality rate is approximately 2%.4 In another article in the Journal, Guan et al.5 report mortality of 1.4% among 1099 patients with laboratory-confirmed Covid-19; these patients had a wide spectrum of disease severity. If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%. This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36%, respectively.2

This is such a lovely story. Do you intend to tell your son or let him reason it out eventually?
I think I possibly fall into this category of developer. I'm currently a few years into game development in the AAA space. The people I listen to most in descending order are Casey Muratori, Andrew Kelley, and Jonathan Blow.

I try to take their opinions with a grain of salt and find my own balance of considerations/tradeoffs. A common sentiment between them that I agree with is that software is a lot of commercial software is often an order of magnitude too slow in important places and that object oriented programming is almost always taken far too far.

I also look up to a few senior programmers I work with who have in-the-same-ballpark values as them.

On a whole, I think reading and listening to them has made me a better developer than if I just fumbled around to draw my own opinions completely from scratch.

I think being that type of young dev is probably fine so long as you keep your dogmatism and humility in check, and ensure your mentors are a spread of different individuals.

I think that's better than other young devs not seeking out information to try and grow.

The Climate Case for a Jobs Guarantee: Kim Stanley Robinson
I do believe you can apply science once a goal or desired outcome is decided upon. There is no known science that can help you come to a goal. E.g. science can't tell you that we should reduce pollution but can help if we decide that's a worthy goal and worth the tradeoffs.

Perhaps as we better understand the brain that may change.
The code it generates is fine for production. Probably better than vanilla js.

However maintaining the code is a concern. It’s pre version 1.0 and each release has breaking changes.

The general direction is away from supporting the whole web api, and making it harder to write your own ffi to work around this as you have to use ports as they have scrapped other methods in user space like native code.
I like how that comment has more responses than the OP
Interesting. Ill have to update pihole to put a stop to that
Not sure why you were downvoted as your statement that an IFR of 0.3 to 1 was always about the expected rate is completely right. E.g. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387 published by Dr. Fauci and Dr Redfield on February 29.

Weirdly I’ve seen a lot of attempted history rewriting, I guess by people who in March didn’t understand the medical literature and confused CFR with IFR.
IIRC Viking used logs as well to transport their ships between rivers, so they can raid the usually very surprised towns and vilages downstream, especially for rivers going south.
It's not just America. Here in Ontario, at least in my city, the lockdown in mostly over. Social distancing is the mildest suggestion in the parks, virtually nonexistent in many businesses. Pizza slice joints, grocers, most things are pretty normal, outside legal orders against work.

It seems to me that there is U.S. tribe that worships the lockdowns despite the evidence, for no articulable reason other than a hatred for the President, or a proximity to the culture surrounding that hatred.

We have been delivered a blessing, in the reality of the matter, and it seems like some people are more upset that the good news demonstrates the hubris of their attempts to control the outbreak.

No Android and no bluetooth for exactly the reason I mention.

Korg actually has a DAW-lite for the Nintendo Switch but not Android precisely because you can manage audio latency on the Switch but can't on Android.
the virus doesnt care, it's going to infect as many as possible. One thing is for certain, if there isn't a huge jump in infections then there will never be a lockdown in response to a pandemic ever again.

Obviously it can't be the case that any form of mobilization is equivalent to fascism. Societies mobilize all the time. According to Payne, fascism has a consistent goal of creating a new nationalist authoritarian state, with not simply a mobilization but a militarization of the populace --- a "mass party militia".

There's a kind of "horseshoe theory of politics" thing that happens with observations about Soviet communism and Italian fascism. Both systems are bad, and they share specific bad characteristics. But they are not the same; in fact, they're antithetical to each other.

I think the Green New Deal is poorly specified and ill-advised, but it is not Soviet communism and certainly not fascistic, and AOC is not a "charismatic authoritarian" in the fascist sense. It was a silly comparison to have made.
Weird Glowing Capacitor
I don’t think you’re wrong in your assessment. But just for fun I will point out that I probably assumed a bit to far when I stated no dictionary, there is a name binding mechanisms for ‘words’, but I have a quote form as well. Also, while I would say the language is functional, it is also intended to be low level, ideally, the base of the language is a dependently typed pseudo-assembly language, but the modal type system and homoiconic syntax enable building words that are semi-macros. It is, at this point, basically my attempt to blend Forth’s philosophical leanings with category/type theory. But thanks for the reply, outside perspectives are always great for me to hear.
what a fun website
Oh yes. I used that word very precisely :D
I'm actually surprised they don't introduce unskippable ads into articles to let content producers monetize their articles. Rather than the static ads and paywalls you can have the intro paragraph visible and then a "watch to unlock article" ad. Just like youtube with their 10min requirement, Medium can make requirements like the article needs to be more than 1000 words for 2 ads or something like that. Granted, this would lead to a lot of useless fluff just like SEO has produced and pushing the meat of the content to the very end to get people through the ads. However this happens with video yet it's still popular.
To an extent, I never understood how this made sense.

I could see a case for "we'll throw a plausible-but-nonthreatening status code on a flagged account." Tell the customer there was data loss and it's out of commission until the SMR-drive RAID rebuilds. But when they start responding with obvious no-answer answers and "system says no" alone, that chasnge in response style in and of itself is leaking information.

I've seen plenty of people reporting over the years "I've been blacklisted, nobody will say why" and not one of them ends with "I'm posting a followup from a holding cell", so it's not like they're pulling the plug at the last moment when the charges are filed and the police cruisers in motion. If it happens enough that ordinary people outside banking have experienced it, then I'm sure the cartels and terror cells know about it.

I feel like there's an opportunity for a sequence in a mob movie where one of the characters' debit cards unexpected declined, and he immediately excuses himself to tell his compatriates to shut it down.
The aggressiveness of police does come from fear. That fear comes from training[1]. And it is fear that people they come in contact with will have a gun. The fear is absurd and not founded in reality.

In California it is illegal for a regular non-law enforcement officer to have a gun in public or in the passenger compartment of their vehicle. Open carry, concealed carry, unloaded, doesn't matter, all illegal. Open carry used to be legal in California, but was banned after the Black Panthers used that right to protect black people from police abuses[2].

In the 1960s the National Guard and federal law enforcement were used to protect protesters against the police abuses[3].

Now only the police abusing us are allowed to carry guns, and the National Guard and federal law enforcement are being sent in to help the police abuse us.

I think the police need to give up their guns before the public have any more of their gun rights stripped aware.

1. Because we didn't notice, because nobody was bringing it up. The cat's out of the bag now.

2. Because many of us had a baseline belief that the Obama administration wouldn't enact punitive policies towards undocumented people for sport, and there's clear evidence that the current administration does that. So the calculus isn't the same.

3. There are drastically more caged children now, because the current administration adopted policies specifically intended to increase the caging of children, as a deterrent. So the policies themselves aren't the same.

If there are more violent crime its understandable that there would be more police killings,
> Has anyone got any benchmarks for using io_uring in a typical network daemon, i.e. something that would generally be bound by socket I/O?

Author here. Some folks have been writing echo server implementations in io_uring and doing some benchmarks:
https://github.com/CarterLi/io_uring-echo-server.

May not be your typical network daemon, but you can still look at the relative gains.

Generally speaking, io_uring is just a general-purpose programming model to interface with the kernel. Socket I/O is just one part of the story. But when combined with other things, it becomes much more powerful.

I'll try to explain how I git where I am with this.

I used the same Google keep as you for multiple years, but Keep isn't available offline on PC, it's interface doesn't help in interlinking, and it is not open source. Last one hurts especially considering its a Google project, one of the decent ones at that, and thus it can always be cancelled next quarter.

I moved in to Emacs+org-mode on PC, and Orgzly/Orgro on Android. It syncs notes via syncthing, on my lan, no internet required, but can be used. This gives it a ruledundancy. Org-mode is also much Kore organic for note taking, since it allows collapsing trees, embedding code, equations. Adding links can be done inline, unlike Keep (I haven't used it in last year so that may have changed).

As for search, Keep is good enough if your notes only have shopping lists and one off stuff that you require every now and then. Keep is, however, terrible for organizing any amount of knowledge. Org-rifle, for eg. gives context aware search results across my entire notes folder. The power is unmatched by Keep, where notes are mostly siloes, and interface too verbose to let you a birds eye view.

And did I mention Keep takes multiple seconds to load on a good connection? And that its closed source? For some, that alone is reason enough.
The core of Lisp is a small set of rules about abstraction and application using lists. Forth, at its core, can be formalized with the exact same set of rules (one to one correspondence) but with stacks and composition as the operator. The languages are very VERY different, but there is a similar bare bone formal framework at the bottom.
Don't know. I figure one day it will come out, no hurry to dispel the magic till then.

Last year for his birthday I spent several months preparing an alien treasure hunt in the park for his birthday.

The idea was an alien spacecraft had crashed in the park and eight 10 year old boys were needed to go hunting for the clues to help the aliens get home.

As we drove down there listening to the radio I had an IOT device that transmitted its own AM radio station to the car radio with an urgent announcement about a crashed alien spacecraft nearby.

I prepared all sorts of gadgets and electronic devices - sound effects and lights - gave the kids bluetooth buttons to search for things and had little IOT devices that played sounds when the buttons came in range. I made audio mission cards which played audible missions to the kids (made from audio greeting card mechanisms). I bought tiny little glow in the dark aliens and little led lights that I scattered around the park. The kids found a nest of alien eggs that they had to eat (chocolate eggs).

The finale was they had to tie the tiny aliens to helium balloons and send them into the sky to "send them home".

I spent months writing code and preparing it all. Only about half worked on the night!!

I think I had more fun making it all than the kids did doing it.

My grandmother spent the last several years of her life living off a fixed income happily occupied with continuing education classes at the local state university. It seemed like a pretty appealing lifestyle to me. It occurred to me that you might even mainstream the idea. Instead of building retirement communities around golf courses, build them around universities. If I'm not mistaken, I think I've seen small advertisements for such things in the back pages of the New Yorker.

Given the costs of modern universities, and the current identity crisis they're facing, this might be a new business model for them, especially if wealthy foreign students are to no longer be admitted to the country.

At the same time, I'm reminded of an exchange from an episode of This American Life about how in some parts of the country state disability payments have become a de facto retirement and welfare system:

Ethel Thomas: You asked me a while back what would be the perfect job. I thought about it, and I said that the perfect job, it would be like I would sit at a desk like the Social Security people, and just weed out all the ones that come in and file for disability.

Chana Joffe-Walt: At first, I thought Ethel's dream job was to be the lady at Social Security, because she thought she'd be good at weeding out the cheaters. But no. After a confusing back and forth, it turned out Ethel wanted this woman's job because she gets to sit. That's it. And when I asked her, OK, but why that lady? Why not any other job where you get to sit? Ethel said she could not think of a single other job where you get to sit all day. She said she'd never seen one.

I brushed this off in the moment. I was getting in my car. It was getting late. And also, it just did not seem possible to me that there would be a place in America today where someone could go her whole working life without any exposure to jobs where you get to sit, until she applied for disability and saw a woman who gets to sit all day.
