You can become wealthy simply through hard work and being frugal. There are a ton of fields where it’s easy to make a 6 figure income doing ethical legitimate work, and computer programming is a huge one.

Save 50% of your salary for 20 years, invest at even a mediocre rate and you will be a multimillionaire and able to retire on a 6 figure income for the rest of your life.

The difference between you the vast majority of the self made wealthy isn’t ethics, it’s drive, ambition, and the willingness to forgo luxuries.
That's USB 2 and one monitor. He is looking for USB 3.

I had one of these.

I was given it not having slightest idea what it was for (was only in the NYC/US about two years at that point). I was told its meaning a couple of years later when I found it again during a move.

I've thrown it out.

While I appreciate the gesture from the person who gave it to me, I was repelled by what it represented in terms of how privilege and the police system work.

I learned 95+% of things I know about programming outside of class. Now, I doubt that anyone would really lean a "well balanced" set of subjects, but students can be made to have their own intrinsic motivations to study things.
People unwatched start taking liberties they never would have under normal conditions. Never be the party lavished as "good" otherwise it is assured you'll start thinking like Yato from Noragami:

"People decide what's right and wrong, but those things don't apply to gods. In other words, gods can do anything they want, including hurt people."

Saying someone, some party or some unified bloc of people is a "good guy" is really saying that they're a god, and gods live by Yato's philosophy. Which is why it is important to state that nobody is really good, and "all parties are bad." Also why it is impossible--even if a party is perfect--for a political party to remain indefinitely in power and still be good.
> As I understand it, the police investigates police abuses. I find that very shocking. My own country has lots of the same issues, but at least it is a separate branch of police which investigates abuse, not a colleague who will have to deal with the backlash if they report dirty acts.

Also in the US we have (or can have—I don't know the statistics on how many districts have them) a separate branch that investigates the police: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_affairs_(law_enforcem... . They're still police, though.
Safari? And just because MS is rebasing on Chromium doesn’t mean they still don’t have a lot of technical might to throw at Edgeium.
OOP is a superficial lowest common denominator of programming. Everyone can understand on a superficial level (cat is a animal, dog is an animal, cat does meou, dog does bark, kind of thing), and proceed to write programs. That's why it is popular.

OOP works on low complexity, small projects, but quickly falls apart at certain point, but then it's just head scratching and finger pointing ("this ORM is just bad, next time we will use a different one").

More experienced people figured out some way around OOP to make it more robust, so whenever OOP is criticized they just do the "oh, you just doing it wrong: insert excuse and advise here".

People who really though it through, and tried different approaches are the ones that hate it and are vocal about it. They see through the folly. They can tell how core principles of OOP are bad ideas. How encapsulation at object level is usually pointless and costly, how inheritance doesn't make sense, and so an so.
I run FileBrowser [1] to share media with friends. I would suggest trying IPFS if you don't want to forward a port from the internet. You'll get similar download performance to FileBrowser once your node integrates with the network (this takes 30 minutes or so). Check it out!

This is a good question to call out - the answer to the deeper question is that jaywalking (and many other "crimes") need to be decriminalized.
The HLS tools from Xilinx and Intel (and maybe Cadence I guess) can also actually compile your models as ordinary C++ code (i++ from Intel is literally just a fork of Clang, I think, and so are tools like LegUp), leading to their greatest benefit: simulations are way, way faster and software compilers have vastly better iteration times than synthesizers.

They seem to have a simulation framework for these tools that isn't just "re-use an existing simulator", and it apparently does use LLVM for codegen but that's the easy part. Actual simulation performance numbers would be really interesting to see vs actual RTL sims.

> stands to reason that a document as old as the Constitution should be updated more often than it has been

That constitution was based off of about 2000 years of legal and political theory stretching back at least as far as the Roman Republic, and even the Greek democracies, and written with most of the intervening political history in mind. To say that 200 years makes that much of a difference needs a lot more justification than "it stands to reason".

People say technology is a factor in why we should update the document: I would respond that the human nature which necessitated the clauses assembled in that document haven't changed. Technology has simply accelerated the negative (and positive) effect of the same human tendencies the constitution is already attempting to protect against.

I would suggest that the maxim that's been mentioned on here recently, "don't tear down a fence until you understand why it's been put up" would apply. And the understanding of why the constitution is the way it is requires a breadth of reading that includes Seneca, Plato, and many others. Not to mention the documented discussions between the folks who wrote it.
SVXY just sells short term vix futures, so it won't capture this particular effect. There was a mid-term short vol ETN called ZIV, but Credit Suisse recently discontinued it for whatever reason.
We hold low grade solders responsible for following illegal orders, even when those orders come from the very top of the chain of command.

Although its giant double standard, despite knowledge of illegal acts frequently those higher in the chain of command aren't held responsible (aka, look up waterboarding).
> This is why the public defender's office should be handling the prosecuting of police and the DA should become their defender. You maintain the adversial nature of the current legal system, and you also fund the PD office more effectively. Win win win.

It sounds good on the face of it, but, even assuming that the public defender's office is staffed with amazing defense lawyers, it seems to me that there's no reason to believe that they'll be able to serve as amazing prosecutors.
If I recall, the requirement was put in place after TWA Flight 800 crashed into the Atlantic. Although the plane likely crashed due to wiring problems resulting in a fuel tank explosion, a variety of institutions blamed terrorism and Clinton wanted to be seen as doing something to prevent another disaster.

And yet, many people have to pay this or that and always worried about it, just the fact that you could be one of those 10% who get stress is already stressing. The cost of a good insurance is double or triple of what people are paying in other countries from taxes and you don't have the same peace of mind. Not to mention the overall cost for the government for Medicare and Medicaid which is way higher than most other developed countries. It is a bit like communism, everybody knows that the system is not good, everybody knows that there are much better systems but Americans still insist to continue with this dysfunctional system
You know what I don't get? Why is Edward Snowden, who exposed these crimes, being treated like a criminal?
If.

You forgot the "if".

It is extremely easy to get out of police incidents with social skills and high-quality ability to manipulate people if you happen to be a white male.

So while justice may be a game to you, to a significant portion of the American public, it's a game they've already lost.

Ask a black family and a white family what "the talk" means. You will get two answers. For white families, "the talk" is about sex. For black families, "the talk" is about how you might just killed because your skin is a little too dark to be walking in certain areas. The talk is about how to keep your hands visible at all times when you have any encounter with police. The talk is about how you will be treated as less than other people, you cannot let that ever make you angry, never let it cause your voice to raise, to always be conciliatory. Because you might get killed.

So I'm glad you find it interesting. It still needs to be fixed.
> It is extremely easy to get out of police incidents with social skills and high-quality ability to manipulate people.

In the US at least, I think that this is only true for white people, or at least for people who appear to be high-status. I don't see any way a homeless person could avoid being moved out of a park or, more dramatically, George Floyd could have avoided being murdered, by social skills and manipulative ability.

The mark of a civil society is laws without punishments.

Low trust societies have to build in enforcement mechanisms for everything because if you don't, someone will cheat you for the slightest advantage and life inside them is punishingly inefficient. High trust societies rely on people to do the right thing out of a sense of civic pride, decency, group cohesion or some other regulating force.

Look at sports for example, the rules are written out in excruciating detail that account for the most unlikely of edge cases. What are the consequences of not following them? Well, outside of professional leagues, really nothing except people won't want to play with you. Why go to so much effort with the rules? Because the rules are what makes playing soccer different from playing rugby. They're what make the game the game.
I agree. Installing an audio equipped device would be illegal on the other hand.
I've heard that it's not the absolute velocity on a freeway that's the issue, but instead the relative velocity of all drivers. A speed limit that all can comfortably hit keeps that to within a much more narrow band than a speed limit that some wouldn't be able to comfortably hit.
I was referring to the American Revolution. The 'holding accountable' was the revocation of Britain's authority over the colonies.
> People keep suggesting you could achieve the same result by:

A single well placed and timed explosion on London Underground could easily take out 100s. Hell, Euston or Kings Cross on a Friday is the same. With multiple bombers, you get easily get into the 1000s.

Plus if you pick your Underground target(s) sensibly, you could cripple a large portion of London's public transport for months.

With 4 bombers in a football stadium, you could probably get 1000s without even thinking about it.

Hah, I use a low tech solution: I have a HDMI extension cable that reaches the front of the monitor that I just plug the device I want active into (and a usb splitter similar to what he uses for keyboard and mouse). It’s not quite as seamless as the solution described here but it took no time to set up.
Even insurance doesn’t protect against this. Case in point: family member battling cancer had over $50K in costs not covered by insurance. Not to mention costs that they had to pay initially until the insurance company accepted the claim. (They usually had a few back and forth a where the insurance co would initially refuse to pay)
What hasn't been mentioned is the Zim desktop wiki: https://zim-wiki.org/

It as a lot of good ideas: It automatically creates new pages when following links for which a page does not exist yet. It also allows to arrange pages in sub-pages which are grouped in folders. And, what I think is really good for organizing, is it allows to rename pages, and automatically fixes the links which are affected by this.

What I see as a disadvantage and does not fits my needs is that it uses an own markup format. I need reStructuredText / reSt markup (which can also be rendered by github), specifically for program documentation. reStructuredText is more suited for longer documentation, it has better code formatting, can show tables of contents, and is also less tied to output in a HTML page (it can easily be converted to a LaTeX or PDF document). I see a big value in being able to collect information in the same markup format as will be used for final code or API documentation, this reduces friction.

Zim allows to export reStructuredText, but currently this does only work partially.

What I use instead is a reStructuredText editor which is a Python app which is called retext (https://github.com/retext-project/retext). It allows to enter text and preview it quickly, and to follow any links. reStructuredText also allows to view pages in a browser using restview (https://pypi.org/project/restview/), similar to gitit or grip for Markdown.

What I still miss is the capability to quickly create and open new links, as Zim or vimwiki can do. This is an option which is sorely missing in retext. I think for people who have similar needs but do not need the stronger structuring of reStructuredText, vimwiki is perhaps a very good option.
This has been a common thing forever. Whether it's right is very much and should be up for discussion but I'm surprised at how many people seem to be learning this for the first time.

Same thing worked with the small silver shields you could give out. I don't really agree with how policing is done in the US and it has started more than one fight with my long retired former police father but as a matter of practicality I still carry his silver shield with me.

He hasn't been an officer since I was 5 or so but even in high school the active police families and the families with ada's or prosecutors all had PBA cards and would give them out.

Not just the cold war. My elementary school was originally from the early 20th century and it had the vestiges of the subsequent wars: bomb shelter signs, eerie hallways without windows, heavy metal doors to transition between sections of the building.

Crowds are certainly better judgements of value than individual people are.

If it does lead to sour grapes, it's a benefit for the employee - she realizes that either the company is not one worth working for and she ought to leave, or that he is not worth it for the company and must improve performance or look elsewhere.
> You never have to guess where or how something is defined.

I mean sure, this is mostly true of Go more than most other languages though. I didn't mean to pick on Java alone, C# which is a language I love has this similar problem, though they seem to be heading slowly towards a multi-paradigm language, though the emphasis on OOP is still there, it doesn't feel as restrictive as Java.

Heck, even Kotlin seems to be getting rid of a lot of what I call the ceremony of Java whilst still producing equivalent bytecode (I can only imagine most of it is just syntatic sugar).
That has become my favorite comment :)
Private insurers have a profit motive which is hard to align with public interest.

Yeah the title is a bit alarmist. Is it even a leak if MS is actively encouraging their employees to be transparent about this? Trying to draw conclusions from a younger subset of an informal Facebook survey doesn't inspire confidence either.

Ok, we've taken universal hatred out of the title above.
One perspective: at least 6 amendments in the Bill of Rights are directly about the relationship between the People and their police (most written prior to the concept of "police" as a separate entity from the country's militia forces/military, so not phrased as such, but is still known to directly apply). It's easy to argue that the remaining amendments all have indirect application to the police.

This seems clear evidence that the trust relationship with police was a critical ingredient to the Bill of Rights writers, an essentially a foundational principle in the US Constitution.

Aside: reviewing the Bill of Rights on Wikipedia there's a remark that as of 2018 the Third Amendment (no quartering of Soldiers) has never been invoked in a Supreme Court case. I cannot believe that the Third Amendment has never been invoked in a fight against "civil forfeiture" yet! [1] Yes, the wording of the Third Amendment specifically states "Soldier" and "home" but it seems to me clear that the intent should cover "police" under "Soldier" (again, given the document predates modern police), and "home" should be easily extendable to other private property. The more I think on it, the more I think civil forfeiture is directly a Third Amendment violation. But what do I know, I am not a lawyer.

Let me introduce you to the (pre-pandemic) joys of London Transport. Any of Bank, Euston, Kings Cross, London Bridge at rush hour could have a couple of hundred packed together. Even more if you can cause a disruption in the train schedules by pulling a few alarms or chucking bricks on the line, etc.
This is an interesting concept. In Norway, the parliament cannot pass contradictory laws, for instance, for the simple reason this tenet: "All power must be gathered in this hall". So in essence, Stortinget (our parliament) cannot pass laws that give power away, for instance. Doing so would be unconstitutional, also because our constitution explicitly states that power shall not be given away. Yet it has happened, but in those instances the laws is either handily disregarded at opportune times, or it's left to the suppreme court to decide the outcome where there are offended parties. And since they follow the constitution, they always follow the above tenet.
Yes, I had one anecdote, and in it, I failed to hire the candidate I was looking at because I couldn't pull off that re-leveling. (It was discussed, but we didn't need that level of skill enough to justify shifting our other budget.)

They walked away from the offer we gave them instead, as was their right.

In the non-anecdotal part - yes, someone like you would be hurt with this. I consider that a net benefit. Your negotiation skills are not helping you write better software than me or anyone else, but they're redirecting money towards you instead of me.

I distrust organization because I want to be able to make more than people based on skill and output, but I am all in favor of problems at all with measures to tie salary more strictly to output, or to make that more transparent.

Heck, I've even managed people who made considerably more than people at their same title band, despite less experience - it was based on on the job performance, not years of experience or negotiation before being hired. The salary band for the range was wide so that it could accommodate both strong performers and poor ones.
