Take some time to read through Aaron's blog if you haven't: http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/archive. I'd recommend starting with his series of posts called Raw Nerve (http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/rawnerve).
Although access to force is important in some cases, it's not the most important issue here and not the most important effect that would come from defunding the police.

One more important issue here is that police have been trained only to use force to execute their duties. An alternative would be for cops to focus on de-escalating conflict.

Another more important issue here is that police forces are used to handle problems that are better served by smaller, more specialized agencies. Psychologists and Psychiatrists for mentally ill people. Social workers for the homeless.

A third issue here that is more important than access to excessive force is the rampant and catastrophic lack of oversight for cops. Protests went on for days before George Floyd's murderer was arrested. If video hadn't made the news that man would still be policing today. George Floyd's death didn't involve a gun, it involved a cop who didn't expect consequences.

Beyond all that, police agencies have empirically demonstrated that they have significant and deep seated racial bias across the board. Even if that can be fixed the simplest way to stop the bleeding is to reduce the funding and therefore power of the police. Once they show they can uphold the law without a tax of innocent lives they can have their funding back, but TBH at that point I doubt they'll need it.
There is a link to the gallery. That suffices, right?
and so now you have to add another tool to your toolchain, and if you want to become self-hosting, you have eventually refactor the whole thing, etc... And Zig doesn't generally have plans to support the same types that are available in C++ so realistically the only thing you get is operator and basic function overloading.

And in the C++ community, doing exports for interop as "extern C" (in general, because many other languages prefer it) is accepted anyways. Would you make the choice to add that complexity?
"git rebase" has --preserve-merges (apparently renamed to --rebase-merges a few years ago) to recreate those local merge commits, maybe it can be set somehow for this as well?
It's funny in a sad way to read an article like this one now a month later when it has become very clear that the virus comes back with vengeance in places that have lifted restrictions summer or no summer.

Also, the semantics of whether it can be called novel or not doesn't matter one iota when the virus-caused pneumonia overwhelms medical systems in mere weaks if left to roam unchecked.
Do you actually know the people in the linux kernel community who are discussing this change and do you know they are unreasonable people who can be described as a mob? Genuinely asking because I don't know them, and therefore I can't judge on who they are as people, but you are clearly judging them as people so I'm assuming you know them?
The problem with making government-issued ID easy to verify online is that every website will start requiring it and pseudonymity or anonymity would become a thing of the past, even though it's necessary in some cases.
The standard of living keeps going up in China. Why is it that they haven't needed to outsource to countries with cheaper labor to stay price competitive themselves?

Or will that happen, just further down the line?
Well, maybe this time there'll be more interest. The immigration services officer who fines IBM millions for this kind of illegal immigration scandal should expect a good career.
I'm curious though, what DO you talk about as general topics?
They can afford to demand competence, and they need it. But they don't always get it.

They are the reason it can be hard to hire qualified C++ programmers elsewhere. You compete for the rest who find Wall Street and monopolists both morally repugnant.

Cognitive Journaling: A Systematic Method to Overcome Negative Beliefs
You were the one that brought up C++, so if I'm confused, it's because what you wrote.
I remember reading that people who are insecure about something, criticize or make fun others having that quality to feel better about themselves.

If this is true, then maybe Feynman really was insecure about his intelligence ("humble"), and his "boastful" stories were to make him feel better about himself and to cover up this insecurity.

(I am not a psychologist, so I can be completely wrong here.)
VHS is a great analog tape format, too. S-VHS HiFi audio recording rivals reel-to-reel multitrack tape quality (i.e. close to objective CD quality). Only problem is the tape life is terrible.
> DAG-based causal inference isn’t able to handle feedback loops (acyclic) or nonlinearity (linear)

I don't think this should be true, and if it is, then "causal inference" should be qualified to refer only to a specific modeling framework. As a counter example, it's possible to formulate a nonlinear differential equation model of Covid spread and infer the parameters to construct a plausible, causal, generative model.
Does it provide copy on write semantics? I wasn't aware of that being the case.

It's shocking that my comment which is a balanced, reasonable, principled perspective, is considered controversial. John Locke is debatable now? Well let's hope the European Union and China know better how to prevent individuals from abusing others by ascending through government structures.

44.1 kHz sample rate limits the audio frequency response to 22 kHz. The popular knowledge says that the human hearing "stops" at 20 kHz, but in reality this is not a flush cut off. It may go way beyond that: some people are able to hear up to 27 kHz, depending on age and personal physiology.

Limiting frequency response at 22 kHz ensures that you get a high quality material, but not the highest quality.

Record labels still have the leverage to extract some pennies in the future by selling a higher quality record and this makes them feel comfortable.
Labour is cheaper in Africa than in China. What Chinese company spend to ferry a construction worker from China to Africa is enough to pay about 10 African workers in a year. China wants to to give Chinese jobs to Chinese people. However when it comes to manufacturing of plastics and other low tech products they use Africans. Why are they not importing labour from China? I had the opportunities to work in a complex environment where some Chinese companies operate. Local workers were far knowledgeable. But these companies would not allow locals to handle their core machines, something that is not harder than playstation games. Everything is written in Chinese and locals are not trained in such language.
I have the honour to have visited Western countries, and I can't remember if they have apps that are not readily available in Africa. Africa may be underdeveloped but they have reasonably educated people. They maybe lacking core skill but they are not lazy and unfocused.

Bring manufacturing to Africa would really help grow world economy and would also end this current trade war. It may not be easy but it is possible. Africa has the cheapest labour you can find anywhere, hardworking people with strong sense of confidence. Africa is closer to Europe and America than China and India. Africa has strong cultural ties already with Europe and America.

Banking services develop along with businesses, and as the economy improves every sector would improve too. China was not built over night.
Sorry, but in most of the world this is still the okay hand gesture. (EDIT: To clearify parts of the world which did use this sign before, many cultures have different signs).

It's maybe a bit like the term "master" (decoupled from slave) which has very differently nonces in many countries outside of the US. Mainly it's then often not strongly (or not at all) associated with slavery or suppression of people of color.

For example the German word "Meister" is often translated as "Master" but is mainly associated with someone who became really good at a skill, i.e. who mastered it. It's also used in a context of a person who is qualified to teach some from of craft (job), through there the roots are somewhat similar as historically you complied pretty strictly with what your teacher told you.

Anyway, using more inclusive terminology for anything new doesn't cost anything and as such should be done.
That's exactly what I'm asking for! Speed of development is what I'm looking for.
The 6502 is still doing hundreds of millions of units a year, and is still a terrific introductory processor that is comparatively easy to wrap your head around, especially if you are interested in board bring up from scratch. (Compare the requirements to boot a 68000 to a 6502 into a nop loop, for example.)

The 6502 is far from dead.

Albanian here, want to clarify some things:

1. The situation was never that bad as the post makes....

It is similar to the current June events in the US (unrests/protests), but sans looting of random businesses, just burning of the PM office (instead of a police precinct).

2. That politician, was not killed by the government, but it is rumored (never verified) that he was setup by his rival leader of his own party. The same guy who very conveniently then went to the streets and demand the government step down. His own bodyguard was somehow intermingled in this thing.

3. Also, 0 foreigners were harmed during these protests, or past ones... I know Embassies have to take precautions, in Albania foreigners are treat as 'guests' of the house, and treated well. (even during protests). Sounds weird, but that's how it is. It is like the whole nation has the 'responsibility' that the foreign guests have a good time when they visit.

It is from old traditions/customs, dating back to ancient times...

4. This is an example of good American intervention, by then Bill Clinton's cabinet, which was very competent. They basically called the 'bad guy', and told him that the US would not recognize this government, as it was not democratically elected, and you will be considered an outlawed gov. and isolated from the rest of the world.
That was enough, for the 'bad politician', to step down, and let a provisory government with members from all major parties to take over until the next elections. The coup-de-ta was over in two days with just one phone call, and probably spared the country from a massive bloodshed/unrests.

I know for some reason American involvement gets a lot of flack, but great examples of 'just/correct' and successful intervention almost never make the news. It is always the failures that do, unfortunately.

I've always had trouble sleeping but the conditions around the coronavirus have made it increasingly worse.

I've been able to force myself to sleep recently with enough sleep aids, but the amount I have to take to knock me out is terrible because it lasts so long into the next day. Whereas previously I may have had to fight microsleeps if I was particularly sleep deprived, I find myself having to fight full on passing out until mid afternoon at least.

This, is a huge must for me:

> Absolutely no intra-day napping. When I violate this rule (as I still sometimes do) I usually have a bad night.

Prior to wfh, I would often come home from the office completely drained. Even i did nothing at all and just sat aroud the exhaustion was worse than the rare occasion I get physical exercise these days. It almost felt like my brain was calling me to bed. But I've learned taking naps almost certainly means I wont sleep the coming night.

If you consider how competent Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, etc. are, and how early it's clear (both have stories of being labelled as gifted as early as four), the real question is more like how much more effort could be taken to stop them. I doubt school being open or not will make a dent in people of that level, they'll switch to 50 books a year.

I saw somewhere that only around 20K users are actually active.
A bit like the coronavirus, that depends whether the government takes appropriate action and what they've raised rates to by that point.

If the government of the US has become too dysfunctional by then, sure; but I continue to not understand why Americans seem to embrace the dysfunctionality and political helplessness. America could choose to fly itself into the twin towers, but it could also .. choose not to?

mm I get what you mean, but it was more like: Today Albania is a great country to explore and you'd be missing out if you were in the region and skipped over it.

Another thing is their reputation within Europe is... well to put it as one Albanian said to me laughingly: "They're scared of us. They think we're all gangsters"

Most people don't know a lot about the country so if they just read the article or go from what they have heard a European say, they might have an impression that doesn't truly represent it.
Is this just CGI?
No, it's correct. I've been involved in several incidents where the police asked if I wanted to "press charges" against the offender. For minor incidents this greatly reduces caseload while giving me the opportunity to ensure I get justice.

Prosecutors have the option of pressing charges on behalf of their jurisdiction for criminal cases and can sometimes do so even if the violated party declines to press charges themselves.
> It's not for you to decide where anyone derives their meaning and happiness in life or how many hours they should work. You can only decide this for yourself.

Everyone decides these things for themselves indeed, but that shouldn't stop others from having opinions regarding those decisions, or giving unsolicited advice to help others stop hurting themselves. I for sure hope my friends will step in and try to stop me if I go down the path of self-destruction.

And also, anyone is free to ignore the advice given by others. Which is a good thing, for much of it is bad advice.

If Geekbench was so misleading, why does the Intel version of Geekbench run so fast on two year old iPad chips? And “Hardware acceleration” isn’t misleading if it’s accelerating commonly done tasks.

Intel is years behind on process and GPUs. Apple is not just getting faster CPU and GPU performance in lower power envelopes, it’s getting those processors at less than half the price. Apple could have switched to AMD to get better faster processors cheaper, but nowhere near half as cheap, and nowhere near as power efficient.

And Apple has no reason to use this to increase margins, when they can use it to dramatically increase volume and market penetration, which will increase margins on its own. Fir example, the iPhone SE is faster than any Android phone ever made, yet Apple still priced it at $399. They wouldn’t risk cannabalizing their higher end phones unless SE margins were comparable to higher end phones. Which again shows you how cheap their Ax CPUs are.

And iPhones and iPads have all day batteries a fraction of the size of laptop batteries, and without the space, mass, or fans of laptops. The A14 will be able to run in MacBooks at a higher power level while still remaining cool, providing for more cores and faster processor speeds.

It will still be using significantly less power than the latest generation Intel laptop CPUs. Also because the SOC will integrate a performance GPU, T2 functionality, Neural Engine, etc all in one package.
I would say programming is really difficult and it is hard to find competent(pick an arbitrary line in the sand) for any skill let alone programming. Pick a field, and the web is stuffed full of people with battle stories of cleaning up after other people. This is actually a point or two against C++ as the breadth of it is so large. The trick, as in any practice, is to find motivated people willing to learn that are not stubborn in their set ways.
Judging by Google's continued growth, I'd say pretty damn well?
I think the idea is that the victim's testimony is often central to the case. So if they refuse to testify, or say in court that everything is fine, then it's likely the case falls apart. So whether or not they can technically prevent the case, they can often effectively prevent it.

These hypothetical scenarios don't "flesh anything out a little," they distract from the real world in front of us.

It's very obnoxious when as a real world person with a real world request, I hear "but what about [insert hypothetical here that isn't actually happening]?" and there's an easy answer: "if that arises, let's deal with it then."

I am descended in part from African slaves. I work in tech. I have dealt with, because of my racial characteristics, a variety of micro and not-so-micro aggressions from my coworkers and that's on top of the bullshit I've had to deal with from neighbors and society. All of this causes me to consider walking away to find something where I don't have to deal with as much BS, and that also makes me sure that the diversity issues in tech are not just a pipeline issue, it's an issue of this work environment not being welcoming to people with different backgrounds. All of these issues are additive - few people want to enter a pipeline for hostile working environment in the end, and those that did have to endure constant bullshit in order to be retained.

Efforts to use more inclusive language aren't going to fix nearly any of the big problems, but it is very, very nice to see /any/ effort here, given the history of none at all. Seeing the effort makes these space more bearable, and in my estimation that justifies the very, very minimal cost of committing to trying to use inclusive language going forward (as a software engineer I'm not keen on renames for renames sake, but we're not talking about renames anywhere - we're talking about preferring inclusive names for new things). Likewise it's disheartening to see how many white folks want to proclaim that there are no diversity and inclusion issues in tech.
Given all of Tesla's shady business practices, this doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

Tesla has really made huge progress in modernizing cars (making them electric and not terrible, getting rid of middlemen, continuous/rolling product updates, infotainment that is not slow/terrible, etc) I just really wish they would have focused on the positive parts of the future and left the negatives behind (remote lockout of features, vendor lockin for service, and generally trying to screw your customers at every possible turn...)

A significant inquiry I have to this in general is what should we do for people for which single-use plastics are exceptionally necessary for their lives? For example, people with disabilities who cannot manage paper straws (due to their collapsing before a drink can be consumed) or metal straws (due to mental strain in keeping track of their cleaning)?
