I assume you mean tax paid with money? That's not a solution. Most, if not all the ways that people make money require emitting more carbon and producing more waste. Such tax would lead to fatal feedback loop.

I'd love to see something like a personal carbon quota, same for every person on a planet.
You are presuming everyone is acting in good faith. In interpersonal communication presume good intent and best efforts. But with media, war and politics, presume bad-faith and self-interest.
> But, I am getting an impression of hypocritical aspects of this momentum and not addressing problems when they arise

The GP's article is terribly written and dripping with bias and it still has a large section covering other protestors stepping in, helping the man, and policing their own.

> We need a similar compendium of brutal protestors instigating violence and promoting things like this, too? No?

A basic internet search would yield this for you.

> I personally think that BLM is extremely disorganized and doesn't have good leadership to make the change happen.

The sibling comment already covered this, but if you find yourself thinking about things like this, it could help to do some research. Searching for "BLM leadership" to figure out who you think won't be effective at making a change will yield sources like [1] and help give better background on what is actually going on here.

I found this lecture pretty informative: The Craft of Writing Effectively - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtIzMaLkCaM
Yeah $5 is the cost of a couple clicks or scrolling past 200-300 ads.

On Google that's maybe one click, probably half a click.
I think it's further exacerbated by the fact that the whole point of police is to protect people, so when they do the opposite, it's much, much worse.

Others have pointed out that it's about a 9:1 ratio of civilian killings to police killings, which is an absolutely appalling ratio, made even worse by the fact that there are far fewer police than civilians.

But something I have seen here yet occurs to me after typing that: Cops protect each other over everything else, so if you're the victim of a cop, you literally have nobody to turn to for justice.
It's not stupid, though.

Remember how when an older relative would complain about their computer slowing down, and you had to uninstall like 15 toolbars from their Internet Explorer?

Protecting users from malware and spyware is a huge step forward. Most users can't protect themselves from it. Controlled distribution is a net good for society. The question is, how do we minimize the negatives it also brings along with it, such as seemingly arbitrary, inconsistent, and/or vague rejections?

It's not about what we would personally prefer, as smart tech people who know how to protect ourselves. It's about what's best for everyone -- the societal good.
Isn't this just speculation? He gave out enough good reasons for his identity to not be known, the biggest is that he works as a professional psychiatrist with clients of wide ranging political stances.

He's also, I suspect (I don't follow his blog), given and written enough to at least earn enough good faith to be taken at his word.
This is comparing murder to every instance of police killing someone, justified or not. Police murdering someone is much more rare. The ratio you are talking about probably is in fact well over 100:1.
Determining which language the repo is now requires scrolling, as now the readme is only 70% width instead of 100%

Casually browsing OSM in my area, I see individual park benches, garbage cans including type, road surface material, doorways to buildings, power lines, location of springs. And that's just what Osmand is rendering, I'm sure I'm just scratching the surface.

Google doesn't even attempt to map most or all of these things here, much less expose this information. OSM attempts to build a much better map, and for my region, easily succeeds.

That's not to discredit Google Maps. Almost all of the time, I don't need the best map, I need the kind of yellow pages, yelp, sightseeing guide, live traffic and transport, navigation mashup Google is projecting onto their map with great skill. I think it's their best product.

Former employees accuse Cards Against Humanity of racist, sexist office culture
Posts like this have definitely made me wonder whether quarantine is harder on people living alone or people with families. Probably comes down to the specifics of the person and their relationships.

I live alone and generally enjoy my private life, but not having the option to see other people or share any amount of physical intimacy (even something as simple as a quick huge with a friend) has definitely been horrible on my mental health. People aren't meant to be alone this much (even for introverts) and there's a lot of evidence showing lack of physical touch can cause depression.

But how would I have handled the stress of spending all this time in a small place with multiple people, or taking care of kids? On the one hand, it sounds incredibly challenging and relationship testing, especially for an introvert. But on the other, I find myself jealous of those that can hug their kids or their SO multiple times a day, where I haven't even had a handshake since March 15th.

I guess it's hard on all of us, in unique ways.
an IR interface, lol
Demonstrably false considering massive wealth inequality and poverty. It's incredibly harmful and uneducated to hold such a callous opinion. It also goes against the plentiful studies showing that socieconomic status (SES) is more significant predictor of success than almost any other attribute.

Simple scenarios:

- immigrants/refugees moving to a different country

- getting visas in what is largely a lottery system

- injury luck with respect to athleticism

- access to equipment and instruments with respect to musical talent

- slavery and generational poverty

The idea that _capability_ is anywhere close to as important as luck fails so many simple tests (let alone empirical studies) that your statement offends me a little bit.
x86_64 is obviously derived from original x86 and is a rats nest of who owns what. The SSE3/4 extensions (which are supported by Rosetta 2) are obviously in Intel's camp.
Our work on X will expose enough information to the window manager and the applications to implement workspace switching in the way you describe.

Fusuma is not integrated with the display server, so it's limited in what it can do.
I'm interested in the Typeface itself.
- The diagonal/emphasis on "5" is a great improvement to differentiate it from "S". Roboto tried something similar, but execution is better here imo.

- Reducing the standard width deviation between letters will also be of great help for mobile, number driven usage - without going full monospace.

- The "u" simply being an inverted "n", the "m" using the same shoulders and stems as the "n are things that go against the premise of a fully legible font. I would revise this.

What do you think?

Thanks for the correction. But again it rarely matters in practice.
I guess it depends on your use-case, but personally I'm interested in ballpark estimates of idiomatic code because that's sort of the performance space I occupy. I bucket pretty heftily (interpreted ruby, JITted Lua, Javascript, C) and that's enough. The specific details aren't important.
Can you provide a source? That number of killings is a lot lower than any source I have seen (and the police reporting of deaths they are involved with is very problematic).

Hispanics are killed at a disproportionate rate, and blacks are killed at a vastly disproportionate rate - according to the below blacks are killed at twice the rate of whites.

pretty microsoft-ish in my opinion.
Before I start, some context: I'm an indie-hacker and live off a web-app I programmed myself and maintained for over a decade (check my profile if you're curious). This context is important because
1) I don't need the shared knowledge that a framework facilitates when working on a team
2) My codebase is small (~14k LOC)

I don't use any front-end framework for my JS. Instead I have a have a `main` function that gets initiated and loads up everything that I need on the page (handles, script tags, etc). I wire together interactivity with the DOM via HTML ids (I never use these for CSS, so it's clear their purpose is as JS hooks). I have a `library` file with useful functions (e.g. grabbing query params, hiding or unhiding elements.

If this all sounds very basic, it's because it is. I don't need anything more.
It's not Apple that slows down Firefox on Mac. It's just that Firefox cannot match the resources that apple and google throw around on their browsers. Firefox has to be economical on where their resources are directed towards. And understandingly Macos specific optimizations not the top priority.
Historically that work is similar to Transmeta's cores, and IBM's DAISY before that for anyone wanting to dig in further.

Someone reverse engineered large parts of the Transmeta crusoe here:

> Blacks are killed by police disproportionately by a factor of around 2-3x.

I'm having a hard time figuring out the truth on this particular point. I've seen conflicting reports, such as this study from a black Harvard economics professor which found no racial bias [0].

Perhaps the US is different, but here in the UK, I reckon that 95% of software developers will never go to court in their lifetime, and the remaining ones that do will settle for small amounts (ie.

E&O insurance is in absolutely no way a replacement for incorporation. In most cases if you need the former, you need the latter also, but there are many uninsurable cases where you want the protection of an LLC anyway.
> That ratio should be over 100:1, not 10:1, and certainly not 9:1.

I can’t say what the ratio should be...How do you know what that ratio should be?

You say cops should not be a “situation”, not sure what that means but for many of them responding to crimes is exactly what their job entails.

In other words As it relates to your ratio, is is possible a police office is 10 times more likely to encounter a murder/violent criminal in the act than a citizen? I don’t know, but that seems reasonable and probably jacks up to 100:1 to intervening to stop a crime.

I’m really not one to ask, I’ve been on all sides of it: I’ve been arrested (multiple times, including for the victimless crime of possession of marijuana); I’ve been the victim of an armed kidnapping; I’ve represented criminal defendants as an attorney. I can certainly say even being the victim of an armed kidnapping I felt more victimized more by the detective after the fact Than by the kidnapper, I can also add I felt more victimized by the insurance company of the gas station I was kidnapped from and their attorneys than either the kidnapper and detective (they literally destroyed the video of the crimes against me, falsely tried to cover up their destruction of the video claiming it never existed, claimed I falsely alleged the crimes and paid they same detective to testify the crimes happened to me across the Street from the gas station).

And 12.1% of the population - which makes just pasting numbers meaningless. Much better is number per 100,000 so that you can compare like with like.
I've described that in Arch part. Arch has several official repositories [0] and AUR is not one of them. I've also mentioned Debian.

"many 3rd party distributions" is many distributions - Debian, Arch, Gentoo, Fedora, Mint, etc.
It is often cited as inefficient but it provides choice. And if there was only one distribution it would create too much pressure on maintainer not to sell its users.

"by users to users" is general description of distribution. I would be surprised if distribution maintainers does not use distribution they work on.

I've created my own addon and shared it [0] - just a few lines. From user to users - just because someone may find it useful.

I understand it is hard to maintain community and trust. Anyone can create distribution but real working distribution is a lot of work. But it should start somewhere. I review addons I install, I can share it.

>disproportionate fear on the order of 20X

Because if you successfully defend yourself from a murderer you have a rightful plea to self defense.

If you successfully defend yourself from a cop trying to murder you. You will be lucky with life without the possibility of parole. There is an implicit cannot flee cannot fight in an interaction with a law enforcement officer. So pretty much your natural fight or flight is neutralized and that is a hell of a situation to be in.
Dinged? The implication is that they brought him in for an interview even though he was unqualified so that they could say they tried, not that he didn't get the job because he wasn't Indian.
Is it fair to compare population numbers versus deaths per arrest ?
When you have been given the right to kill people without legal consequence, the distinction become rather hard to make. There have been a lot of unwarranted killings by police that seem to have gone unpunished, how do you chalk those up?

There is an exchange here. Software is being provided in exchange for a discretionary payment.
Nit: The expression "physical altercation" does not make sense because an "altercation" is an exchange of words. Perhaps what you mean is something like "unwanted physical contact", if we can interpret that expression to include shooting someone but not include first aid to an unconscious person, which I think we probably can with a bit of common sense.

Qt even already has QNativeGestureEvent stuff, seems like it's only wired up on macOS for now.

Also, what really sucks about Qt is there's no kinetic scrolling in classic qt widget apps (e.g. telegram-desktop). Or there is but every app has to enable it or something??
Technically true but you're talking about sub-second figures that have no meaningful impact compared to the high and unreliable variable actual process of autoscaling booting a server and waiting until it gets a health check before adding it to the load balancer.

If you were to attempt to optimise around that, or any other argument such as ingress to s3 etc etc you would quickly find that you'll never in thr lifetime of that codebase make the dev cost back in tangeable returns to your business.
> anti-tribal + free-speech-absolutist

I think that free-speech is a central tenet of modern society and the source of future progress. I am strongly anti-tribal. I do not associate with groups, isms or movements. I like to purely talk issues and like to evaluate ideas for their individual merit and not based on who says them.

> pro-equality = altruistic

Pretty self explanatory. Generally socialist leanings borne from wanting to provide equality of opportunity and measurably fair treatment to all.

I support most of BLM's policy goals. I believe there needs to be more awareness about racism. I think holding racists and people in power accountable is important. Police reform, removing qualified immunity, mandated cameras and reforming the criminal justice system.

However, I refuse to align myself to the movement itself. Because an agenda-less and leaderless movement can go in any direction any time. A great example is how the Gamer-gate movement took a strong turn away from 'ethical journalism in gaming' to 'racist hatred of women' within the span of six months. Religion is an excellent example of how tribes demand loyalty.

Many of the top thinkers within the BLM movement see violent protests as an inevitable part and many allies endorse violent revolution. I do not yet know if I agree on those matters. I do not want to sign up for buffet of opinions where I have to mandatorily eat every dish. I prefer to have my opinion a-la-carte.

Each of these issues are important but they have a ton of nuance. To find a good solution, we need free speech. We need people with contrary opinions to be able to challenge the protestors and through the friction there will emerge solution.

But, all groups (including ones of my peers) are increasingly moving towards hiveminds of agreement where the In-Group-Contrarian must be destroyed.

There is a reason it has me so rattled. I have yet to truly sort out my opinions on the whole matter at large.

> Perhaps, but I think a lot of people tend to say that, then conclude that they should just wait around for luck (not saying you're doing this, though).

I'm curious as to why you think that? It could be cultural differences but I have never seen that behaviour except from those that are already depressed and have given up.

IMO the simplest analogy for success is poker. You make the best decisions you can given the information you have. You adjust as new information is revealed. Ultimately, success or failure is less relevant than the process.
I'm sure statistically even the US police are relatively safe (as in they might well be more likely to die or be injured from car crashes, like the rest of us.)

But when the stakes are that high, being statistically safe on average does not take into account what the gamblers' call the individuals risk of ruin.

So yes, I think they have to consider that an armed citizen could incapacitate them for life at a distance with nearly no warning. And this risk is many times greater in the US than elsewhere.
I actually don’t agree. $30/mo for an email service (which most people get for free) is a huge ask for many Americans. Especially when everything is sold as a subscription. Sure it’s “only x per month” but when everything someone buys is a small amount per month it adds up quickly. 30/mo might be chump change for a software engineer, especially one in a tech bubble area.

30/mo for email is however, not cheap or practical for many other people though.

Honestly, it's a positive improvement. Better information layout, and the code is still front and center. None of the core functions really changed place, just changed padding a little.
You completely missed the point. It's relevant to this thread that blacks should fear the police more than criminal violence. Well sorry, that's not born out by the statistics, so it's an irrational belief.
