You're assuming the police actually WANT to de-escalate. They generally do not. (If you are suggesting the police in "far-left strongholds like Portland" behave or are motivated qualitatively differently than police in other cities... nope).

They want to scuffle, they want to punish people who have verbally antagonized or threatened them, or who they think deserve it; they want to protect challenges to their authority and maintain control of the situuation, or think they need to crack down hard to avoid a total social breakdown (the opposite of de-escalation) -- they have a variety of values and priorities, avoiding a "riot" is seldom one of them. ("Winning" the riot is).

Here in Baltimore, the last few months of protest had very little property destruction or scuffling. Some here wanted to credit the restraint or intentions of "proestors" -- I think it's far more likely that the police administrators this time, somehow, got the forces in the street to actually avoid escalation.

I am a middle-aged leftist who has been at many many protests. Every "riot" I have been near was initiated by escalation by police, including chemical weapons use, agitating the crowd to respond, bringing more response in turn. If the police avoid escalation, it doesn't happen. This isn't always what the leftist radicals want to admit either -- they may want to think it's "the people" who are in control of things, who are angry enough to rise up or something. In fact, it's the folks who are trained to act together, with the better weapons and the (usually) disciplined command and control structure, who have pre-existing relationships of working together as a team -- who largely determine whether to escalate or de-escalate -- and this isn't that surprising.

The police usually don't actually want to de-escalate, they want to knock heads. By "the police" I mean both the "white shirts" and the "blue shirts". Sometimes the decision-makers might have preferred not to escalate, but literally would not be able to control those they ostensibly control though; the police are there for a fight.
> You don't start a negotiation from the middle.

I agree, but you also shouldn't completely discredit yourself before negotiation has started. What do you even bring to the table? The end of protests? Protests are only being tolerated because of presumed public support, which has been dwindling due to some ugly scenes.

> The politicians and leaders need to work out the details and compromises.

The politicians only need to care about votes. In many areas, the majority already voted in Democrats with the intention of having them fix things, which they didn't.

I would argue that Democrats are generally less principled than Republicans, they're only following what they believe the majority to believe. See the Dixiecrats or their position on gay marriage.

So, without the majority vote you don't have Democrats and without the Democrats, who do you have to support? Republicans? Greens?

> The point of these protests is that one side has not been listened to, and it is getting people killed, and we're sick of it.

I noticed as much, but that doesn't magically bring you into a good bargaining position. MLK was successful because he stayed within the overton window. Malcom X wasn't, because he didn't.
> The alternative is carpet bombing, including all the civilians nearby.

I would say this mode of thinking is the real problem; the alternative to war is different war.

There is a peace-shaped hole in your view of what is possible in the world.

With regard to the "precision" of munitions, I've found this talk illuminating.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpiZTvlWx2g

The precision of munitions is not the problem. I'm sure the hellfire missiles fired from predator drones are as precise as a very good team of engineers could manage. I'm sure the intelligence that was acted on was as precise as the spies and analysts could manage.

They are still killing an unknowable number of civilians and writing them off by a sort of guilt by association - you had the audacity to be standing in the vicinity of someone who was in contact with people we don't like, so that makes you an enemy combatant.
>Police don’t show up and corral peaceful protesters who applied for, and were granted, permits for demonstrations

1. Is it a right if you need to ask permission from the very people you're protesting against?

2. The entire nation watched police tear gas peaceful protestors in DC so the President could have a photo of. We also saw Portland police break the hand of Christopher David, a 53 year old veteran when he approached police, unarmed, with his hands raised.

>The rule of law must be upheld.

The police need to follow the law too.
You need to be really careful with picking colours. In a previous role I created some reports & associated graphs for the CEO. I was really pleased with the visual representations of the data.

He wasn't. He's colour blind.
I realize this organization is focused around chemical weapons. However, as laudable as this objective might be, the elephant in the room are nuclear weapons. I wish they had included them in their charter. Or, better yet, merged with other organizations already working on de-nuclearization:

https://www.icanw.org/

https://www.globalzero.org/

A focused effort by a larger organization would be far more powerful and should be far more effective than a bunch of separately funded teams competing for the hearts and minds of world citizens and their financial support.

Can we get rid of both chemical and nuclear weapons? I don't know. I think we do know what to do with the nukes...

Let's give Elon all the nukes so he can take them to Mars and do something useful with them:

Or states.

As long as the concentration of power in the hands of nation states have been the foundation for most of the worst mass murders in human history, it seems quaint to worry that people arguing for making power shared and collective rather than allowing it to be concentrated will do worse.
Is this really true? Banning the sales of seeds will not change anything because seeds were not ordered anyway. Seeds are send instead of the originally ordered item (the item to be reviewed). Seeds are light and cheap and will continue to be used.

I don't know why this comment got downvoted so heavily. I think what you're saying is insightful. This kind of culture puts the US at high risk of falling deep into the kind of corrupt, low trust world seen e.g. in Russia following the collapse of the Soviet Union. When manipulative behaviors are normalized and rewarded, manipulative, corrupt people take power. And when the regime's power collapses and the pie starts to shrink, the fighting gets nasty.
Anonymous struts and unions allow fine grained control of memory layout in embedded code. (I am not 100% sure this is not UB but I have seen it in a lot of embedded code)

Not sure if this is impossible in C++, I think some of the alignment functionality added in the past several versions might cover this, but it is not as simple.

IMHO, Not a big reason since every compiler offers some non-standard keywords to cover this use case, but a reason nonetheless
I thought that wasn't possible since DDR3 or 4?
I'd say if you care about consistency across media, try to make your colors have different luminosity, so they can still be distinguished somewhat when someone invariably prints them on a monochrome printer. Also, pure yellow (and to some extent pure green) tends to end up nearly invisible on a lot of color inkjet printers, so tweaking the luminosity is also important there. Overall I think most of the tips this article advocates will also help across various mediums.
When a politician, singular, showed up, he got attacked [by protestors] in Wisconsin. Of course, most of the violence and threats toward politicians at protests has been at the hands of police [0][1][2]

For instance, yes. And some languages and idioms also allow objects to be provided without exposing their types at all. Declared but undefined types, for instance . And all languages would support opaque IDs as alternatives to references that expose irrelevant or harmful APIs.
The sources that are "politically correct" usually leave clues when they are distorting things, because they have more of an allegiance to truth and facts even when they are misleading people.

It also allows one to metaphorically triangulate, even assuming everyone is dishonest.

It doesn't matter whose propaganda you like, you need more than one vantage point if you have any interest in the truth behind the bullshit.
Let’s call a spade a spade. The only real world problem that WebBundles (and Signed Exchanges) really solve is to allow AMP to impersonate your website.

Google wants all the click data and the click through navigation data about users (by way of passive logs) so they can sell more ads.

There are no other real world problems that web bundles solve.

Why do mail programs maintain their own database of messages? It used to be quite handy to organize your projects by directory or tree, with mail files, presentations, code etc all kept together, greppable and with some choice of which program to run. Now if I am working on a couple of projects I have to search around (was that a slack note? An iMessage? Mail? Or perhaps it was a comment in a document?
Right-flavored anarchism (eg anarcho-capitalism, cryptoanarchism) addresses this question directly - a plurality of competing defense companies that would be incentivized away from actually fighting as it would be unprofitable.

The irrationality of it really comes off as some subtle cultural manipulation by real estate moguls to profiteer off renters. I get the pressure is historic to the homesteading and rapid settlement of the country over the last 300 years but nowadays someone's got monetary interests in keeping the fire stoked.

> In fact, republicans/conservatives could hardly get any better support for their claim that BLM supporters are radical marxists.

I've read a lot of lists of demands, and most of them seem reasonable to me, and I suspect more would seem reasonable to the general population than you think. I have yet to encounter the demand that private property be abolished in favor of collective ownership, or much else that conforms to actual Marxist ideology.

They're only "Marxist" in the sense that a certain American demographics calls anyone and anything they disagree with "Marxist."

FFS they've called Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama radical Marxists. Greta Thunberg is a Marxist. Literally any leftist, liberal, Democrat and progressive with any visibility is a Marxist. The entirety of mainstream media and social media is Marxists. Fox News criticized the President? Marxists. It doesn't mean anything anymore, it's just a scare tactic.
Your phrasing is misleading. BLM isn't responsible. A veteran sympathetic to the cause went on a shooting spree granted, but I don't know how you get from that to "BLM was responsible"

I consciously avoided C++ since the late 90s, lest its litany of accidental complexities crowd other more important things out of my brain. I was drawn into it recently by a work assignment, and have been pleasantly surprised by modern C++.

I find it much more pleasant to write, e.g., ODBC client code in C++ than in C, and templates have a lot to do with that. I'm not an expert with Lisp macros or other reportedly superior meta-languages, but I will say that when I write generic code in C# or Java, I really miss the power of C++ templates.

Template syntax is pretty awful, and accomplishing what I want can involve some really strange idioms, like SFINAE. The ergonomics are slowly improving with type deduction, constexpr, and now concepts.
I can understand it with a file system; but in a typical key/value store application the data elements are much smaller (likely even smaller than the hash result).
Sure. Let's think about it:

- could it have been prevented? At what cost?

- what are the other options? I wish, but often the alternative to people suffering is even more people suffering

- once the shit happened, how do we mitigate the situation?
I think the key differentiating feature of Graviton is the tree of authenticated proofs of data consistency. (AFAICT this is particularly important for scalably updating and verifying a large blockchain history.)
I think they can use transformer in the same way for proof path generation: do pattern matching for complex logical statements to find those where specific rule can be applied, similarly as it has be done in differential equations paper.
Nobody is suggesting removing the systems that are actually protecting us. The argument is that a lot of the structures are not protecting us, but perpetuating oppression, and that if we invert the power pyramid, and power is only delegated by consent to the extent it is exercised in a manner that minimises oppression, then we're left with what people actually consent to be subjected to.
They don’t break it down in the abstract, but BDNF is brain-derived neurotrophic factor, which is associated with neuron growth and long term memory.

You are right - the “control-your-computer” functionality is currently a subset of Alfred, but we are working on bridging that gap.

Most people use Alfred in limited ways, and we tried to cover those hot paths. However, we are still working on covering the long tail of that feature set.
I think "responsible" might be overstating it.

But if BLM is not responsible, then it does poke holes in the ACAB and maybe even "Defund the Police" positions. If protestors can dissociate from rogue actors, can police? If not, what's the clear difference beyond political tribalism?
I asked the devs, and apparently "proof generation won't affect general read/write performance". But I guess this is the kind of thing where benchmarks might be useful, and there don't seem to be any public yet.
Yes but imagine writing thread safe refcounted GC in C. It’s painful and easy to forget some of the handshaking.

Most of the abstractions (E.g. iterations) are zero cost as opposed to additional functionality like shared pointers or resizable vectors.
I don't think so? "Why can't we stop the police from using chemical weapons too?" => "How else would you stop a riot?" => I say: "in fact, police use of chemical weapons have started far more riots than they have stopped".
Just point resolv.conf to your pihole and then make it read only. Problem solved
Thank you this really helps.

One last question do the individual files. There seems to be 3 distinct file groups:

0b.txt - 8t.txt

l0.txt - l3.txt

r0.txt-r3.txt

Do each of these represent different ROMs or different logical parts of the two ROMs? Or am I reading too much into the naming convention?

By the way - brilliant work. This is really a fascinating read.

You cannot on one hand claim that BLM is an organic, grass roots, and completely headless organization while at the same time disclaiming someone as a member of the supposed unorganized organization composed entirely of people who self identify as BLM members.
Am I overlooking something? There seem to be no instructions on how to start a server. Or does It always start a local server?
Please, you're on a discussion site where the main demographic is actively microdosing to improve their productivity at startups inbetween two editions of Burning Man. You'd be hardpressed to find someone without a first-hand experience of acid.

But yeah, you pretty much tend to remember everything that happens to you during a trip, even years afterwards, which naively makes me believe your brain and memories become more malleable during that timeframe. This would explain why bad trips could be traumatizing.

Then there's gwern who did a RCT self-experiment and reported no benefits but the way he measured said 'benefits' (stupid little tests, self-rating) isn't convincing.

>"Even as a C++ programmer with too much spare time, it has become obvious that learning and using all of C++ is beyond impractical."

Who says on must know and use all the features of a language (especially the monster like C++) to write good code / software. Check what you really need for your particular task and be happy. I've found modern C++ a breeze to use as long as I do not pretend to be a language guru. Writing some sophisticated STL like libraries is highly specific and involved task and person/s doing that are not doing much of anything else so they would know all the of relevant C++. Using those libraries however is way way easier, the code looks pretty clear.

I use modern C++ to write various business servers. To me it is a single tool or two with clear and relatively easy subset of a powerful language. When I compare it with the monstrosity of some standard "modern" back-end stacks/toolsets C++ is starting to look like a small fish.
Oh god people like you are why I left.

You all vote progressive lunatics into office then complain when things go to shit.
Whether shared_ptr are thread safe is an... interesting question. If you have to ask it the answer is “no”.

At any rate, the definition of “zero cost” isn’t “it’s the same as a raw pointer”. Rather, it should be read as “its cost is the same as the equivalent functionality rolled by hand”. Shared_ptr implements a ref counting mechanism, which, absent a real GC, is necessary for actual shared ownership.

Thhey did the same type of reporting during the Hong Kong protests.

Completely brushed over the rioting, the destruction of public property, and even attacks on bystanders speaking Mandarin (there were incidents of Japanese and Taiwanese reporters being attacked by protesters who thought they were Mainland Chinese).

There were also Molotov cocktails thrown at police, and some protesters were shooting arrows.

That’s what sells, so it makes sense they would have that narrative.

Areas right next to a played word are hard to capture, 2 parallel words would have to combine to form multiple 2 letter words, this create a natural buffer and you can corner off areas, block bonus tiles, offer easy point opportunities on away from the area you want to control to distract your opponent. A lot can be done with short words positioned well and can likely beat a more spelling knowledgeable person with positioning strategies.

Similar thing with their Google Cloud Console: 159 requests, 3.5MB and 13 seconds for the initial page load. Opening any page takes at least 3 further seconds, but usually more like 6 seconds - on a 4-core CPU with 16GB RAM.
The parties are fairly weak to be honest. Otherwise, Trump wouldn't have been nominated in the first place and Sanders wouldn't have had two strong runs at the presidency. The voters are self-incentivized to break off into factions.

I think what has been slowly changing and coming to a head is that the checks and balances in the American system have been eroded and calcified. When everything is all or nothing and mechanisms for compromise stop being used (i.e. legislation, policy diversity across states), then everything is a Big Deal.
What does this have to do with either formercoder’s comment or with filming at protests? I’m failing to understand what point you’re trying to make here.
Still, I'd like an option to use a faster, more efficient CRC or hash - bit rot is usually the main threat, rather than tampering. Not to mention that if a user can tamper with the data they can probably just create a new hash at the same time.

Using a cryptographic hash as a souped-up CRC seems rather odd, given how many more CPU cycles and RAM it will use, but I don't know the reasoning behind the decision; there must be one.
