Not necessarily. In a society where people are expected to run away and rely on the police to catch them later, more murderers may get away, because more of the victims run away instead of defending themselves but then the police never catch them.

It's obviously easier to "catch" a murderer while you're still in the room with them than after they have a ten hour head start and you have to depend on unreliable third party testimony to even identify them.

It's a maximum rating, it's very unlikely that the equipment behind the cable is using anywhere near that. By the way 20A is the typical plug and cable in a home, it's really not hinting at special equipment.

If the equipment really used 20A continuously (100% sure it doesn't or it would be rated higher), it will take a long long time for the circuit breaker to heat up and trigger, like a whole hour. See charts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_breaker#Standard_curre...
I think it's pretty apparent to anyone not on the left that this is the exact line of thinking that led to the homelessness crises in liberal enclaves. Just tolerate a problem and claim it's society's fault, while also not doing anything about it.
If your point is that people on both the right and the left are capable of immoral behavior and that we should condemn, I agree with you! I think I missed the point you were trying to make because it appeared that you were only highlighting and correlating heinous acts from one person who supported a position that you disagree with.
I was an academic, but not a particularly successful one, and constantly felt imposter syndrome. Over time I realized a few things- most people in my cohort had a similar amount of trouble establishing their careers, and when I look upon their academic careers, and also see how much fakery is involved in modern PR-focused science, I actually think I dodged a bullet.

Instead I went to industry where I felt like an imposter for years, then built a system that worked really well, and got to work with some absolutely fantastic people who were far smarter than me. I still felt like an imposter, but at least I was well paid and respected.

Finally, now in my career I get paid huge amounts to debug complex ML systems in production when they break. Almost nobody else has the skills to do this; almost nobody has the interest in doing it; but I've spent 20+ years focusing on exactly this kind of problem. I don't feel like an imposter any more.
So perhaps you were downvoted for being vague. But certainly things like the supreme court recently refusing to hear an important case on qualified immunity have me concerned that USA-ians are whistling past the graveyard right now.
Annual report to Congress - Military & Security Developments involving the PRC [pdf]
"At this point, these Antifa people (who "don't exist," yet all show up at the same time and place in a uniform"

What uniform is that?

Wearing black and a mask? That could be anyone, including police provocateurs and right-wingers looking to pin the blame on protestors on the left.

It's ironic that so many people who weren't there, don't know anyone there -- least of all any of the people "in uniform" -- fancy themselves to knew best of all what's really going on on the ground.

Just for the record, I strongly condemn violence both on the right and on the left. I do this on ethical grounds, because I believe violence is wrong. But even on merely practical grounds, it's clear that those who encourage and engage in violence are playing right in to the hands of those who have the most guns, who think they have the support of the military and the police, and who are itching for violence to break out to use as an excuse to crack down hard or foment a civil war (which, of course, they think they'll win).
If I've done my job right, the visuals are beautiful and also the least important part of my presentation.

LINQ is cleaner, but I find streams to be more elegant when considering the language as a whole (its just a pure library - no new syntax/rules/etc to learn).

I feel like a lot of languages these days trend towards "kitchen sink" languages that toss in everything and the kitchen sink in the name of clean looking code. IMHO this tends to sacrifice language elegance. This is probably why I tend to like languages like Java/Go/Clojure.
Mapping Emissions Data from the EPA
That's not the same. I'm not suggesting giving up social networks. What I mean by "never say anything you don't want sticking around" is that you should never disclose things that could be used to dox you. Never give anything more than a very general general area for location, or speak about which college you went to, or where you work. Talking about hobbies is fine, preferably on multiple accounts so nobody can link them together into a complete profile.
In the Abstract section it is shown that 20 micrograms does not increase BDNF levels after 2 hours, as opposed to 5 micrograms. It is shown however that it increases after 4 hours. That was a little confusing
The author touched on colorblindness, but I think it's important to point out that:

(1) It can be a fair chunk of your audience -- 1/10 men are colorblind in some locales.

(2) There are many flavors of colorblindness. Tools like https://www.color-blindness.com/coblis-color-blindness-simul... are helpful to make sure your palette works for most of them.

As a practical matter, adjusting some parameter like texture in addition to hue is helpful. If you adjust lightness or saturation it'll serve the dual purpose of making your charts understandable when printed in black-and-white.
This probably implies violence/war. Not many want violence these days.
Yes, but many hotel wifi networks didn't like me setting my own DNS servers so I have to switch it off regularly. I uses it as secondary on servers in case the hoster's DNS is down (well, ok, it only happened once).

> one advantage of highly distinct colors which is discouraged in this article is that.. the colors are more distinct across all sorts of mediums

Actually this is precisely the opposite. If I understand you correctly, you're saying that the advice in the article -- to avoid super-saturated colors, super-bright colors, or colors evenly spaced around the color wheel -- is bad, because all these help increase distinctiveness.

But the reality is that when translating across mediums, like inkjet or black and white, these have the problem of blowing out, where light colors turn white and dark colors turn black. And with colorblindness, you encounter the problem of radically different colors becoming indistinguishable.

Whereas if you stick to less contrast but still maintain meaningful differences in both hue and lightness, it translates well across mediums. Shades don't get blown out, and levels of lightness remain distinguishable.

And as for colorblindness, the article specifically recommends using warm colors vs. blue precisely for this reason: "And they are accessible: colorblind people can easily distinguish blue and orange/red from each other." This is why you don't want to use the whole range of distinctive colors, like red, yellow, green, blue, purple all together.
If you're unaware, the American meaning of the phrase "way of life" absolutely encompasses and does not trivialize those things.

The phrase has been used in propaganda with the same meaning for maybe a century at this point, if not at least since the 50s.

It's so ingrained that I had to reread your comment several times to understand how you could possibly be upset at that.
It's just my personal experience. I've had funny looks given to me when I say I'm not on facebook, and when I was off whatsapp for a brief while people refused to believe I had a smartphone but didn't use whatsapp.

And templates, and standard algorithms, and move semantics, and lots of other things that are pretty much necessary in modern code. Well, not necessary, but by restricting yourself from using them you are needlessly:

* creating more work for yourself, and

* introducing bugs in your code.

Don't do that. Use C++ as C++.

Correct, all benchmarks run 100 repetitions of fib(20).

There is no additional overhead that I'm aware of except calling a function in a loop, which is intentional.
They are also being down voted for trying to make this a conversation about the USA instead of about Hong Kong.
It’s also to support a single standard across all cable operators, which was a fantastic goal. Unfortunately yeah that DRM piece along with the CableLabs certification really strangled competition.

That said I’ve run cablecard devices for years, on windows pc and tivo to this day, it’s been perfectly stable and reliable (but my market also doesn’t do any of the drm crap, so maybe that’s where it all goes to hell)
Huh, I had the opposite experience. Around... 15 years ago? I switched away from Emacs to Vim because of dreaded Emacs Finger.

Of course, I could've tried other solutions: actually using the right hand Ctrl and Alt (my typing form is... good but not great), or swapping Ctrl and and Capslocks.

But I opted to switch to Vim, and lo and behold, my problems evaporated when I no longer had to constantly chord. I'm now 41 with no significant RSI issues.

Or: YMMV!

In the media industry, it was entertainment the variable that brought the majority of eye balls and popularity.

And I don't understand why people get upset by this.

Twitch, like in any other media, has a wide variety of content: has educational content, has entertainment, has competitive gameplay, etc. Just because some games are competitive doesn't mean you don't have different formats of content around the game.

Entertainment is still the most popular form of content, and that's fine.

Console #14: Quantum Computing for the Curious, Part 2
Hey Everyone,

My name is Ege, and I’m the co-founder of Jansky.

We were struggling to take off our previous idea. So, we started an Amazon drop-shipping business to make money on the side.

This might help us to survive. Eventually, the other one has failed. But we have a steady cash flow from Amazon.

And we noticed there were a lot of problems in the drop-shipping business. We want to have an easier way to manage and analyze our store.

So we built Jansky.

- You can track your orders

- Get profits analysis from different region stores.

- We’ll send your monthly personal reports to scale your business.

I just want to show you guys.
I was taught to prepare for globalization in most of my business classes in college. The world was now flat so you must prepare. We must be willing to compete and allow free trade as the internet (specifically the www) has opened the entire world up.

But what’s really happened is that the internet has given new powers to governments to regulate and control the people. While I would love to talk about how big and bad the CCP is (they are both of those adjectives and many more) I would be in remiss if I didn’t look at my own country (US) and see that we have been guilty of creating false narratives on free trade.

It’s sad to me that we lack Political leadership in our country. That’s one thing that China does not lack. Both governments are propagated by lies. But the difference is that the Chinese people have suffered greatly and now (on average) are suffering less. So they may be willing (as a whole) to turn a blind eye to situations like HK and what’s happening to the Uighur people.

I think you misunderstood the point you were replying to. The idea is that you can’t really have a discussion about what it enables or how it’s used unless you already understand the technical details. And that shows as a lot of the comments/blog posts about this topic are using underlying technical assumptions that are entirely incorrect.
I also find that 100 things to do as a manager is a misconception. Doing 100 things well in a day is impossible. Picking the 3 to do super-well and doing those. Yields the best results.

That argument is a lot harder to sell since the Korea and Viet Nam wars. Not that I disagree with you. China does need to be reigned in, and we should have started years ago. But the leadership of the USA was mostly of draftable age during the Viet Nam war, or, like me, did their grade school homework in front of the TV news with Walter Cronkite reading the daily body count.
I'm confused, how did we get from "here are a few examples of specific demands" to "the only demand is dismantling the criminal justice system"? There are many demands; not meeting all of them this year is not the same as failure.

FWIW the ballot amendment to eliminate the Minneapolis Police Department had about 61% support, vs 32% opposed, among Minneapolis residents. https://www.kare11.com/article/news/local/survey-suggests-su... .

It's not about geopolitics, it's about economics.

China has been extremely pragmatic and results-oriented. When Hong Kong was the most economically successful part of China, they were happy to leave it be and learn some lessons from it. Now the rest of China has largely caught up and it's time for them to make HK more like Shenzhen, rather than the other way around.

“Linusgate” over 250 Messages About CoC Complaints Against Linus Torvalds
I've met this before. The vast majority of people on HN are pretty even-handed about things but there's just a few for whom anything that isn't anti-drug, if even just plain facts that don't show drugs in a bad light, will annoy them. Just how it is, don't worry about it.
Thanks for replying! I did not downvote your comment, and I don’t think it deserves it.

I do disagree with it though.

> hooks are a way of abstracting functionality that can't be easily represented as pure functions.

Yes, this is true, but in what is (IMO) a much less semantically clear manner than classes or a monadic interface. If a HookMonad or something similar were passed into components as an optional argument, I’d have very few complaints about hooks.

> Hooks have to have 'use' at the start of their name to be recognized by React.

Is this architecturally true or just conventionally true? It seems like this would just be determined by what they name the functions, which needs to be enforced by convention, but I suppose JS is dynamic enough that they could actually require the names conform to some standard.

Either way, it doesn’t prevent people from importing them with other names, and even if it did, digging through a large function searching for “use” function calls seems much less obvious than the presence of an optional function parameter or the fact that a component is a class.
Because none of those annexations haven't affected "core" territories of the west or their "core" population. The west definitely did not ignore 9/11.

Some people are more "western" than others. More specifically, the ones that can vote to mobilize the "western" military. Spill their blood and get demolished. Spill the blood of their worshipers and suddenly their own blood is too valuable to waste.
In this answer you show that you don't know what is meant by the term "anti-psychiatry".

That’s the basis of my reply. I think you have a good point; but it isn’t what the parent said.
With C++17, if constexpr removed most of the necessity for crazy SFINAE uses. Before that it was definitely worse. C++20 adds even more to make things more "semantic"; they're constantly adding better language support for templates.
> The hinterlands deeply resent the emerging, educated, cosmopolitan one-global-city. Certainty, this had a lot to do with Trump being elected. Fear that a multicultural knowledge economy might trump nation state protected privileges runs deep. This fear underpins much of the anti-intellectualism and anti-immigration extremism in these groups.

As someone who identifies increasingly with the hinterland, we’re not mad that the educated cosmopolitans exist. We’re mad that they keep trying to rule over us. If you would keep to yourselves, that would be fine. People want to govern themselves. It’s called the right to self-determination. People in Iowa don’t really care about the cosmopolitan elite in DC or New York. But they’re forced to care when the media is entirely run by people in New York, and cosmopolitan bureaucrats living in DC are trying to nationalize the education system, etc. When cosmopolitan elites start demanding we “rename, relocate, or contextualize” the few shared things we have left, like monuments to the founders, they’re forced to care.

Also, if we’re evolving toward a borderless “multicultural knowledge economy” why do the cosmopolitan elites care so much about enabling immigration?
This comes off as painfully naive to me. The nation state does not exist because we learned it.

> difficulty of creating a language that is simultaneously a good programming language and a good scripting language

I bridged that gap recently with GoLang. Below [1] is an example of how I now use GoLang instead of Bash for my scripting needs. The development cycle is essentially just 2 steps, like scripting, 1) Edit file(s) 2) Run the script (./my.go).

This gives the same feeling of writing scripts, but with all the guarantees of GoLang and benefits of an IDE (VSCode). The trick is to have the first line of the file be a script (for the process loader to execute) as well as a comment (so that GoLang infrastructure ignores that line.

Agreed. Always funny to see how the same people who support HK protesters vilify BLM/Antifa who are protesting our gradual slide into an authoritarian police state.

Lots of HK protesters demand nothing less than defunding the police, radical democracy and autonomy from the higher ups in Beijing. If anyone of the protesters in Portland demanded the same, this whole conversation would be different on HN.
> Antifa is very organized

Maybe in some places, there may be some groups that seem so. But given the evidence I've seen near me, 'organized' would be too strong a word. They're more 'middle-class white kids looking to get their faces punched', at least around here.
