The opinion here reads very much like the Court is a high school teacher disappointed in the efforts of a lazy student. The Administration should have known the rules and followed them. They didn't and got called out for it.

There is literally nothing stopping the DHS from actually following the rules, but in order to do so they're going to have to detail the affects of their proposed rule change on the DACA recipients.
ah, my bad. I just googled and educated myself on the difference.

For what a single anecdote is worth, my experience is the political inverse of yours. I had many right-of-me friends who slowly stopped being able to converse with me without becoming angry or offended, and I'm very non-confrontational with friends and family. I always give them the utmost benefit of the doubt. On top of that, I'm not even very far left. But our friendships fell apart when they started using phrases like "disgustingly liberal". It's beyond awful what's happening to society. I can count my remaining right-of-me friends on one hand - they're more emotionally steady than the others had been, and can have disagreements without becoming bitter.
Honestly, I just don't believe in the efficiency of contact tracing apps. I took a look at the German version and the code seems clean and I believe they really made an effort to make this work and set an example on openness. Not wanting to dismiss all the work as futile, it wasn't, but I just don't see it working in reality yet.

The way people behaving already makes clear that the pandemic is over in everyone's heads. You might think that especially then an app would be helpful, but we might be talking about 10% of the population actively using it. They probably didn't get the memo the app is completed. Still, I think this sets an important example of how to develop an app as a public service.

If the German government would have developed such an app without loud input from critics, it would probably look exactly like the one the British tried to create. But having a loud voice around issues of data protection doesn't seem to be bad for software at all.

edit: btw: quite some problems wouldn't have been this large if OS for mobile devices would actually be good. And I don't mean extending Apple/Google "features" for protected memory.
The extraordinary claim in question is "99 times out of 100, the judge will give it to you".
This is an anecdote but I hope it helps someone. I couldn't understand electronics for the longest time. I read all about the individual components and I understood them individually, but I still couldn't grasp what they did when put together. Digital circuits made perfect sense to me though. Finally I learned about the "LRC" circuit. When you put those 3 components together, you can understand their behavior with some equations. You can dial in some coefficients to get the behavior (the signal/wave) that you desire. I don't know how someone thought to put those components together into a unit originally though.
That I'm fine with. If there is evidence that suggest Zoom is doing something unsavory then we should call them out on it. But suggesting Zoom isn't trustworthy simply because the CEO is Chinese is distasteful.

Can someone explain Medium to me? I find it makes for a minimalistic, pleasant user experience (later degraded by banners, paywalls), but apart from that? Editing options are borderline non-existent. The comments section, usability-wise, is a bad joke. What's its killer feature or core idea? Why is it everywhere?
It's important to separate Kaepernick's politics from his behavior. If he believes that black people face discrimination and unfair challenges in America, he's probably right about that and certainly should speak up. But he is such a poor spokesman for that, or for anything, that one has to wonder about the judgment of the Medium board for inviting him to join.

Apple is actually still fighting to avoid culpability for their butterfly keyboard fiasco and to continue replacing broken keyboards with equally-defective keyboards, as you experienced, even though they're obliged to sell you non-defective products. Replacing your keyboard that many times makes you a victim of their hubris not an example of them treating customers well. Replacing your keyboard isn't even free for much longer on the early models.

I feel the lack of additional type arguments on methods will be considered a mistake in the longer term. Although the way it's designed it can be added in additional revisions but considering it's taken rather a long time to get here, I don't hold much hope for it landing for some time.

Attempting to define a generic Map function turns out to be somewhat troublesome[1]. This would be really painless if you had type arguments, instead, we have to define an interface to allow peeping into the type and creating a type from a zero value.

Don't get me wrong, I do applaud the efforts for better type system, it's just a weakness in the proposal.

You've taken that statement completely out of context: "in the developing world."
An Intel iGPU can run dual 4K displays just fine, if it has dual channel RAM.

I'm still upset at Lenovo thinking 16 GB should come in one RAM stick.

If you have a Thunderbolt USB-C port then you have a DisplayPort. Some monitors accept it directly and will act as a charger and docking station. Others need a fairly inexpensive USB-C to DP adapter.
Good question and approach!

Don't avoid taking the necessary time to do what it takes to do the things that need to happen.

The pursuit of time saving methods, optimizations, or hacks is well and all - but actually putting in the time and effort it takes to do X right, repeatedly, is the type of thing many aspiring entrepreneurs avoid. It's very rare to be able to skip any rungs on the ladder, and despite all the possibilities of that technology can offer, there's no substitute for effort.

"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." = Edison.
I wanted to add one more thing. You mentioned volts and amps. Try to think of them as units of measure. This helped me:

1 watt = 1 volt times 1 amp. So a watt is a volt-amp.

Similarly to how 1 joule is a newton-meter per second.

When you work with units of measure symbolically in this way, you don't need to worry about not having an intuitive grasp of a joule or a newton.

It's certainly true that incentives matter a lot before tenure. Unfortunately, there are some tenured faculty that accomplish little.

I, and some of my colleagues, have pushed for there to be more incentives and disincentives, mostly without success. But we continue to work hard anyway.
Do they even service the same domains though? For me, Go is a faster, more explicit Python. In some domains, it is even more batteries-included, especially where I use it - backend development. It has a great balance of ease of development, deployment, and performance.

Sure, it was billed as a systems language at first, and it saw some traction there (Kubernetes, Docker, etc), but IMO, it sits halfway between Python and C, and it's a language I'm quite happy with for the most part.
> If people, regardless of income, care about caucus they will make time.

This is essentially the "people are poor because they don't care enough to be rich" argument which yes is a valid target of derision.

Spending a day at a caucus could mean more than "sacrificing a little." I do claim you're lacking imagination here - why haven't you considered the case of the single mom who is one missed shift away from missing rent - and by the way, if she misses a shift she just gets fired anyway? Oops, evicted and no income. Job hunting while homeless.

The choice between "participating in democracy" and "having shelter" isn't an actual choice.

Also, I disagree entirely with your premise that a caucus is what a democracy looks like. No consideration for mute or deaf constituents. No consideration for introverts. "But if they cared enough." Sure. And if people didn't do crime, there'd be no crime. The reality is those people just wouldn't be represented by a vote. We can sit on the sidelines and make pointless statements about the ethical inferiority of people that don't want to spend 8 hours screaming at eachother to get their vote registered, or, we can acknowledge reality and build our systems around it.

A good democracy is a mail in ballot at home, guaranteed access to a free and open internet, with weeks of time before it needs to be dropped in a nearby mail box, so I can sit at my desk after work with tea while I thoroughly research before I vote.
Set Theory Explained in Symbols
That’s fair, the term is usually abused out of context. Let me give a bit more context: the amount of effort required would probably be up to a trillion dollars, just to be generous. You’re talking about making a generalized physics solver at-scale after all, a lot of domains we don’t even have a good model for how things work. It’s dangerous to assume that the scientists working on these projects/simulations don’t use generalized physics solvers just because they’re not ambitious. It’s almost universally because reality is messy and difficult to model in full, so approximations and compromises have to be made otherwise you’ll never get anything done. I find that mathematicians and theoretical physics peeps tend to fetishize universal solvers in this way, but the long and the short of it is those guys only fetishize it because they live in a perfect physics world where inconvenient factors are abstracted out to a coefficient and they just say “that’s an implementation problem”. Making simulators which can actually be trusted is difficult, time consuming, and sometimes completely counter-intuitive. So I wouldn’t call what this person is suggesting a “moonshot” per se, I’d more call it “attempting to create God”.
Right, it's so ridiculous to the point of being laughable almost. Imgur took the same route. It started off as a super simple image hosting service because every other one was full of all sorts of annoying garbage, and now Imgur's Google description is "imgur: The magic of the Internet //
Discover the magic of the internet at Imgur, a community powered entertainment destination." and has more annoying garbage than almost every other image host out there.

Is there some kind of term for this phenomenon? Web apps like Medium and Imgur created with the sole intention of giving you a no-bullshit, clean, straightforward, minimalistic UI and presentation mutating into horrifying abominations that then go out of their way to fill everything with as much bullshit as humanly possible. Are they just typical cases of starting out idealistic, getting investment due to rapid growth despite no solid path to profitability, later frantically realizing it's totally financially unsustainable, and then doing a complete 180 to satisfy investors / not have to shutter the company?

Sadly this is unsurprising and par for the course for the UK government these days.
Productivity = work/time

It’s indisputable that modern screens, tools, etc make developers more productive than smaller screens, slower CPUs did.

I used to have 30 minute compile times. Was I “productive “? Sure, I guess, but 20 second compile times make me more productive.

And being able to see over one hundred lines of code side by side with documentation makes me even more productive.
He's just specifically talking about the "trending" list though, right? Sure, source control is just a tool, but an internet score board showing you new open source projects? That sounds like fun, to me! Showing you things that are inspiring and interesting is part of the functionality.
Then you could make some interesting effects by using each human key strike to trigger extra keys, such as one or two octaves higher or lower, or something more colorful like a note one fifth higher at reduced velocity, or time delayed perhaps

Unfortunately the questions are utterly superficial and laughably different from the sort of thinking you need to do to understand how a 2-dimensional complex vector space is involved in quantum physics and quantum computing.

In most cases, the majority of my customer engagement is early in the process. Lots of discussion up front to inform the development. It tapers off through the iterations.

Traditional "feedback" only goes so far. Most customers don't actually know what they want. I spend the most engagement time discovering their process and pain points in order to help them figure that part out. Isolate one (or a few) customers that will regularly participate and provide high-quality feedback and focus your relationship building on them.

The feedback of the masses is more like an (unreliable) compass.

There's quite popular conspiracy theory in Russia that says that Telegram was FSB-backed project from the start, and the whole failed ban was implemented to promote it.

I do wish people would resist the reflex to overtly digress onto their own favorite programming language in any given programming HN thread.

I disclosed that in the comment this user was commenting in response to, before they commented. In other words, they accused me of shilling in reply to a comment where I openly and willingly clarified my relationship with Google.

DACA itself was not legislated. It was an executive order issued by President Obama. Live by the sword, die by the sword. It's well within the power of the President to rescind a previous President's executive orders.

Honestly the court copped out of addressing the issue. The correct ruling would be to uphold the rescinding of DACA and force Congress's hand to act on the issue. Just because the intermediate outcome is not pretty does not mean an action is wrong.
How can that possibly be the case if it's becoming more, not less, standards compliant and performant?!

Additionally, it even manages to outperform Blink in certain use cases / benchmarks, especially after the last major update or so.

It might not be Apple's bread and butter like Blink is for Google, but I see no obvious signs of WebKit dying, though I'm open to proof to the contrary.
I totally agree that the corporations can be downright criminal when screwing over the creators, but the solution is NOT to weaken copyright. Heck, the threat of a copyright lawsuit is the only thing that makes the corporations pay the artists in the first place. If we weaken copyright any more, the corporations will come in and say, "Gosh, let's all be hippies. I'm just going to 'borrow' your song. It's all cool. I don't owe you anything because copyright is for jerks. I know you wouldn't copyright your cool song."
In that explanation, this purported investigative chain would still require just as much work to create. That's a lot of effort just to deflect from cell phone surveillance, especially for a cop - an aggro type personality would just rely on downplaying the cell angle in the media, rather than spending time coming up with a plausible excuse.

If there's an obfuscation of the actual investigation here, I'd guess it's more a hiding of highly automated tools that process open source intelligence, probably by policy of the federal agency with the tool. Imagine a FBI/DEA/NSA tool that links and summarizes social media activity based on identities. So facial recognition + cell database -> trail of pictures to craft a link-narrative, without the work of having to dig much or do automated facial recognition. Tangentially I wouldn't be surprised if declaring "antifa" a "terrorist" organization is actually an internal dog whistle that blesses the use of XKEYSCORE etc against American citizens.

Although the quality of the author’s writing is surprising, we need to ask good questions about what was written. If the claims are false, they should be easy to disprove.

The most likely reason is that Telegram is too convenient and too useful.

Power bricks should be fine. I'd suggest starting out with a pretty low voltage (5, maybe up to 9), in DC.

Keep in mind though, that while these voltages are generally below the threshold required to conduct through skin, and represent little shock hazard, pretty much any electrical system can be hazardous in other ways.

In particular, you can create a fire hazard even with pretty low voltages, if the resistance is low enough and your power supply is capable of providing enough current. Likewise for sparks: if, FSM forbid, you happen to have some explosive vapors around (and even a bottle of fingernail polish remover can be a source of explosive vapors), a small spark can start a fire.

My point isn't to try to scare you off, but rather to say that you always need to be cautious, pay attention to what you're doing, and keep safety in mind, even when playing with low voltages.
