The biggest thing:

* Change rules of engagement for police to emphasise de-escalation when possible and gradual escalation when absolutely necessary. E.g. in the UK police won't even have firearms on them most of the time unless specifically called to deal with a suspected incident involving weapons, but even if they do, the focus tends to be on de-escalation and waiting the situation out if possible (e.g. someone sat in a car with a gun for about 12 hours a couple of miles from me some months ago; police just got people out of the way and waited until he calmed down, while neighbours talked to the press and whined about why they didn't just shoot him - he had mental issue and a young daughter that presumably was very happy police were calm and collected).

One of my pet examples here was a case in the US were a guy with an axe was shot after charging a police officer. This was a justified killing in that the police officer was under real threat. But she shouldn't have been in danger in the first place - two of them charged in and confronted the man, instead of clearing a perimeter and waiting for backing. In contrast when I called police (UK) over a possible assault near my house a couple of years ago, they sent 8 officers for an incident with no suspected weapons involved.

Bonus points for:

* Reducing sentences for crimes carried out without weapons significantly. E.g. in Norway, using firearms can easily add 10 years to a sentence that might be 5 or less without weapons.

* Treat any use of weapons to stop e.g. a robber as murder if it's not clearly done in self defense.

Point being that criminals needs to see it as worthwhile to not bring a gun. If it is more dangerous for them to do something unarmed than it is to do it armed, and there's little meaningful difference in sentencing, then why wouldn't they go in armed?

The US has created a perverse incentive for criminals to arm themselves to the teeth.

Maybe you are right, but there is just not any evidence presented for any of that.

You are right that aggregated data is not the only thing that matters. It tends to represent only easily-quantifiable concepts.

But you do have to do a sanity check with the numbers at some point, and reconcile them with the feelings/beliefs/narratives you get from the media and pop culture.
Generally speaking the same is true of “gifts”, though. You don’t have to report a gift as income if it’s reasonable, but drawing that line is where things get... complicated. Then you have to call in specialists like tax lawyers, etc.
Sad that it's Mac only.
> The union would still be closer to correct, teacher salaries, on average, are still low [0]

A spot check of the linked BLS.gov numbers with Wikipedia's list of household income by state [1] showed that about 2/3 of states I checked paid teachers above the average household income and the rest were within about 10%. As you say, there's likely a large amount of variation in there and there are likely a lot of young teachers who are not getting paid fairly since union members have an inherent tendency to enact policies benefiting current members over future members. But with that said, I still stick by my original point which is that teachers do not, on average, make a "pittance." They make pretty close to an average household income, on average, and typically also have significantly better than average pension benefits and vacation benefits.

I could see that if you came from somewhere where homelessness is uncommon, but something that shocked me on a recent roadtrip was how common homelessness is now. It seemed EVERY town we stopped in, except for the extremely remote or tiny, had camps or at the very least people looking worse-for-the-wear at street corners with a sign. I expect the painkiller epidemic combined with covid is not doing great things to this country.

> Linux is only free if your time has no value.

I don't get this. I have more issues with Windows 10 than I do Ubuntu. Linux used to be fiddly, but not anymore. Windows 10 forgets stuff. You have bluetooth? Nope, maybe if you reboot you'll get it back. Hibernate your laptop and take it to the coffee shop. Black screen. Have to reboot.

I don't have issues like this with Linux.

Now, some of that could just be Lenovo. But Linux on Lenovo is fine.
Embedded in your response is the general attitude one hears when concerned about not being able to do "a thing" in the Apple ecosystem: why would you want to do that?

Questioning the use case and insisting that one doesn't actually _want_ to do a thing instead of allowing the user to control their own system is the quintessential Apple experience.
Well, a lot of people aren't upgrading old MacBooks because the new ones have been such shite.

I'm on Linux, and a laptop I can take apart and replace bits of, so I can see myself using this one for a few years more.

My Dell XPS 15 is suffering from Windows Rot after only two years. When I get a free afternoon I'm going to have to back it all up and clean it out, hopefully avoid reinstalling from scratch. For all the negativity I've had towards OS X, at least it's better than that.
Right. As long as the number of pixels remains the same it should be possible to remove gaussian blur almost completely. The information isn't lost, it is still there, but smeared out over a larger area.

Also I don't understand why the first Mona Lisa results in a picture that when pixelated again, wouldn't produce the original pixelated picture. It is as if the create a face inspirated by the original, but not one that could ever be the original.
Interesting. My wife is french, never really about that. Also, Berlin is assumed to have some. I drank beer in bar in one of those once. Found about it later.

Ironically, I first used it in 2010

It's definitely gotten better over the past decade, and maybe the jab is a little unfair if you're using off-the-shelf Ubuntu on very vanilla hardware. But that's mostly what I do when I use Linux, and yet I've never had it "just work" without several asterisks.

Sure, the mouse and keyboard just work. The display and network adapter (usually) just work. Audio may or may not just work. A second display may not play very nicely. Setting up GRUB/dual-booting always takes some effort to get it running smoothly enough for daily use. Installing my dev tools, there's always one random things that goes wrong. Sometimes I'll install my browser the wrong way and it doesn't get an icon in my launcher; so I have to go look up how to configure that manually. I still have this weird issue where whenever I boot Linux and then boot back to Windows, my system clock (in Windows) is off by 6 hours; I gave up trying to fix it because it wasn't worth the effort.

It's a death by a thousand cuts. I'm sure officially-supported installations like those on the XPS 13 work just fine, but if you're installing it yourself you're going to get pulled off track from what you were trying to do with your computer, and into forums trying to find someone else who had your exact issue. Some people revel in this experience, and I've been known to take a sense of accomplishment from it before, but most of the time I don't want to be messing with my computer, I want to be using it.
I know the difference between "deceitful" and "disingenuous" and if I wanted to call you deceitful I would have. Besides,"disingenuous" isn't a name or pejorative, like calling you "ugly" or something. It's not an epithet. It literally means pretending to know less than you actually know which is exactly what I feel you are doing here. It does not require mind-reading to determine the intentions of the current executive administration around immigration. We have their previous behaviour with regards to different immigration policies to go on.

I think that regardless of how anyone felt about the H1B program that this change is bad for America and was done for the wrong reasons. If this was about the H1B program then why suspend L1 visas, student visas and green cards? What does suspending au pairs have to do with H1B issues?

GW-Basic Source Notes
I am not a lawyer, but I have taken law classes focused on business and IP law. I've also worked with a lot of lawyers around licensing issues.

My understanding is that copyright ownership grants a specific set of exclusive rights:

(1) to reproduce the copyrighted work;
(2) to prepare derivative works;
(3) to distribute copies of the copyrighted work;
(4) to perform the copyrighted work publicly;
(5) to display the copyrighted work publicly; and
(6) to perform the copyrighted work publicly by means of a digital audio transmission.

"All rights reserved" is (a now obsolete) notice which says exactly what it means: these rights remain with the owner. You get a physical copy of a book, and that's all. You have only the rights granted to you under fair use doctrine, first sale doctrine, etc. In contrast, a license is a grant of some of those rights to other parties. It doesn't assign away copyright ownership, but it does says that you may, for example, make a copy of my program under the terms defined in the license.

It's worth referencing the difference between a license and a contract here, but that's a whole legal essay in itself, so I'll point to Moglen's writing here, as well as the discussion around the recent Artifex Software, Inc. v. Hancom, Inc.

But yes, I was sloppy on the printed document example. I apologize. Take emailing my mom a PDF instead, which embeds a version of the font program rather than rendering the typeface. Thank you for pointing that out.

I was intentionally giving examples which fell into a legal gray zone, though -- things which a judge would likely rule were okay, but which fell outside of the scope of the license as written. Those are the sorts of things which tend to blow up into expensive litigation. When drafting legal text, you want to leave nothing to being misinterpreted by a user or a judge, and you definitely don't want clauses which go against established law. If I'm a judge reading a contract or a license which has a clause which goes against the law, I can (1) restrict the scope of the clause to what's permissible under the law (2) toss out the clause, (3) toss out the whole license/contract, or (4) do something completely unpredictable. At the very least, if I have a contract or license which falls into a gray zone, I want a severability clause (and key clauses repeated with different scopes, some version clearly within the law, to make sure /something/ is left standing).

Disclaimer: Nothing here constitutes legal advice.

How is no marking better than some marking?

If there is a commit that refers to a "memory leak" why shouldn't be, at least superfluously, checked, identified and have distros informed? (e.g 2ca068be09bf8e285036603823696140026dcbe7)

If the crypto fix was assigned early as a vulnerability would have stayed unpatched for that long?

Excellent observation! Yes I was referring to geometric dimensions when I said "2 dimensions" but from a device physics perspective changing those two dimensions also changes the device parameters :-) (in classic CMOS/NMOS processes I have seen it characterized as leakage and voltage threshold)

You are correct though it was worded in a confusing way.

You are being presumptuous about my knowledge in regards to ad blocking. So I'll explain in further detail why I personally use adblock, and why ublock is unnecessary.

First, the css rules are available on adguard as well. You can actually review the documentation here: https://kb.adguard.com/en/general/how-to-create-your-own-ad-...

Second, adguard is free. There are certain premium features, however. For instance, filtering ads outside of your browser requires a premium license. However, if you are comparing it to ublock this was already not a feature that was available to you.

Of course, even that comes with an addendum, which is that this is only something that you need to worry about on mobile devices. Should you be using the desktop version you will actually see that adguard is free and available here on github: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome

In regards to pi-hole. The cumbersome nature of pi-hole makes it undesirable for me. There were many sites which were blocked for inexplicable reasons the last time I used a pi-hole and creating a whitelist for these sites requires more work than is necessary. First you must navigate to the portal, and then you must make changes to either the whitelist, or remove a site from the blacklist depending upon why the site is not accessible. It was not seamless design. However, those that find this feature desirable will find that adguard actually offers the same experience with adguard home: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome

And as a matter of fact you will notice that there are comparisons between ublock origin available on the github page for your review. There are actually a number of features which are missing from ublock which are simply not possible with ublock origin. As for the accuracy of these features you’ll have to determine that on your own but you can review them here: https://i.imgur.com/5fSLuHx.png

Also, ublock origin does not marginally slow down a webpage rendering. It significantly slows down a webpage rendering. As evidenced here:

With ublock origin: https://i.imgur.com/4NxOysN.png

without ublock origin: https://i.imgur.com/jIlof5e.png

That means that when you are running ublock origin your browser is working at 87.85% capacity. Or in otherwords, a 13.15% decrease in speed. To put this in real world terms it would be similar to reducing the speed to 50mph* on a road that was originally 60mph.

So feel free to keep using ublock origin. As a matter of fact I also use it occasionally in a pinch. (It does, after all, significantly speed up rendering of some webpages. I find it especially useful on webmd.) However, for my daily driver I find it to be a poor solution.

*Rounded down, the actual number is 52.11.

I expect this to be really painful initially, but longer term I look forward to this breaking the stranglehold that Intel currently has over our tooling as de facto standard for workstation processors.

I’m optimistic that we’ll start to see higher quality support for ARM on open source packages, which means we can deploy to RaspPis easier, ARM servers, etc.
Apples open source devtools are old as dinosaurs, so that might be a common case.

But more importantly, it's the question whose laptop it is. I continue to think that the tools I build go to /usr/bin, because that's the way I like it. Apple is telling me I'm liking it wrong.

As for filing a bug with Apple - good one. Every single Apple dev considers radr:// a black hole, and the chance of getting a fix from Apple because of bugs filed (vs. Apple wants to fix it anyways) is slim to none.

Overall, Macs are more and more machines that want to prevent shooting yourself in the foot, at the price of less flexibility and access. This is a good choice for some, it's not a good choice for me. (And many other people who like hacking their machines)

When I implemented Paxos I had tests and when they failed they spit out an exact trace of what happened in what order and on what node. Sometimes it was still excruciating to figure out what happened. Here's[1] a comment which you can think of as a bug tombstone. It took me half a day to figure out after I had a trace to analyze the issue.

I hate to keep saying "I told you so" but I've had many conversations at Oculus Connect & elsewhere about the abject failure of 3DoF with few people seriously considering that the market has spoken. 6DoF standalone VR is the minimum bar for success with spacial computing.

Perhaps what you need is Gnu core utilities - https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/coreutils.html ?

GitHub: under new management. My theory about management is like my theory for bad music at venues. The management greenlights which acts will play, unfortunately most owners don't have a clue, they themselves are not the target audience. There are also legendary venues where obviously they were 'in the know'.
Also worth noting is that with recent iOS versions, third party password managers are recognized at the OS level, and can be used with the same seamlessness as iCloud Keychain.
