I wanted to get into photography last year and bought an old Canon AE-1 off eBay as a cheap entry point. I had so much fun I ended up spending about as much on lenses and film/film development than I would have if I had bought an entry-level DSLR.

I’ve since bought an entry-level DSLR but the AE-1 keeps drawing me back. There is something really neat about the whole process and anticipation of seeing the developed film. Not to mention the old cameras just look and feel cool and the photos have a vintage-like texture that is really unique.

I am all for it. I think that the cash bail system is a crime on its own. the only thing that should determine whether this or that suspect should wait trial in jail should be potential risk to public.

"Sometimes there really is an answer that is correct, and in those cases anything less than perfection is just sloppy."

Anytime there is a correct answer, and it can be determined exactly (+, -, *, /, sqrt) you should expect nothing less than perfection. ceil, round, and floor fall into this category fairly self-evidently, I think.
The Nvidia driver started supporting proper optimus at the begining of 2020 (can runs apps on integrated and dedicated cards simultaneously). I use it regularly on my XPS 15 (to play Kerbal Space Program). It's called "DRI PRIME". You have to set an environment variable for starting and application saying what GPU you want it to run on.

I am, however, very much looking forward to the new AMD GPUs. Hopefully the RX 6000 series will be near a 3080 in more than the 3 hand picked games in their teaser. Would love to use Wayland on my desktop.

Are you saying that psychological pain is not real? :D

> Where with an abbreviated name you can often be unsure of what the programmer meant and you'd have to dig into the surrounding context.

But this is context you'll usually need to acquire to work with the code anyway. (abreviations can definitively be overdone though)

I agree that code should strive to require little context to understand, but there is a trade-off. In some sense: if the name encodes the whole context there's no need for the name in the first place:

function area(widthOfBox, heightOfBox) { return widthOfBox * heightOfBox; }

widthOfBox_times_heightOfBox = area(widthOfBox, heightOfBox)

I began to write the above as a volume function of the box we've been talking about, but realized I don't really know what kind of box it is. Then I realized it might be a 2d box, not a 3d box? But then the names doesn't really makes sense? (I guess measurementOfBottomFrontSideOfBox, etc. was omitted for brevity)

So even this crucial information is missing from the names and require context. Which isn't necessarily that bad, since in any real scenario it would likely be included in the minimum-viable-context.
Not an expert, but I imagine the conviction rate is high because prosecutors make it the path-of-least resistance to freedom. Competent legal assistance is expensive, and building a defense is also expensive and time-consuming. So I wouldn't say that an 85% conviction rate implies anything about the innocence of pre-trial prisoners. Moreover, I think it is dangerous to do so, lest it be a circular argument: why did you arrest him? He was guilty. Why was he guilty? Because I arrested him.

Don’t. You seem to be utterly blind to the enormous power imbalance in an interview setting. If you were to ask people what their sexual preferences were, or what their political opinions were, people would feel compelled to answer. Don’t behave as if you don’t have any power and are just talking informally; you’re not.

You have a huge amount of power in that relationship, and if you will be their boss after they are hired, this will continue to be true. Wield this power responsibly, don’t pretend you don’t have it.

“ People seem to think that every news outlet is red or blue, and furthermore that the journalists have absolutely no autonomy.”

To expand on this, if you have an integer and you add 0.5 then a round() function has to make a choice, because it is halfway between integers. The IEEE standard says that rounding in general (not just for the round function) should round-to-nearest-even. That means that rounding should go to the closest result, and if there is a tie then it should go to the even number.

So, if ceil(x) is implemented as round(x+0.5) then:
ceil(4) = round(4.5) = 4
ceil(5) = round(5.5) = 6

The first of those is correct. The second is incorrect.
The point of bail is to put the defendant (or someone close to them) on the hook to pay the bail if the defendant doesn't show up in court.

Bail bondsmen offer a different deal: pay us a fee (smaller than the bond), we'll pay your bail. If you don't show up to court, the bondsmen loses the bail bond unless they can go find the defendant and bring them into court.

I think maybe the thing that should most change in this system is that practice of bail bondsmen/bounty hunting is made illegal. That should lower bonds significantly, and maybe enable bail bonds to function more as they were originally intended.

I have no experience with any part of this, this is just my understanding.
Abolishing cash bail doesn’t mean "no pretrial detention for anyone". People judged to be a flight risk or a threat to the community can still be held without bail.

Abolishing cash bail is about not unnecessarily imprisoning people who would be safe to release, but who are still held under the current system because they can't afford to pay the bail.
Depends on what you're building, boards tend to be done as net lists (essentially a list of components and wires and how they are connected) - but digital chips of more more than a few dozen gates are normally written in a highlevel language (linked to by other posters here) which can be compiled into both machine code that can be simulated, and synthesised into gates and wires (a net list) that can be laid out onto a chip

> regardless of the severity of your crime, your ability to go home and see your family is determined by your financial status?

Bail is in fact supposed to be a function of your financial status, and the severity of the crime.

What do you suggest as an alternative to bail bonds? Maybe ankle monitors for those awaiting trial?

I think maybe the thing that should most change is outlawing bail bondsmen. It seems like they distort the market for bail bonds significantly and may be causing some/most of the problems with bail, and at the same time this system empowers private individuals with duties that should be the responsibility of the state (finding and detaining people who didn't show up to court).
oh its not, I've heard the exact same thing from Xilinx users. The whole space is ridiculously bad and undermaintained while simultaneously having come a long way. I'm probably not the first person over the last 35 years to say this, but they are right at the cusp of a big breakthrough in utility.

OpenCL was a nice try but everyone did their own thing with it and are now going back to their own vendor specific frameworks. No leadership, irreconcilable business decisions, unnecessarily crippling an open source community, software licenses are too expensive probably because they can't mass monetize the FPGAs. Its just really bad, it doesn't seem like it belongs in this century.
Conviction rate includes guilty verdicts as well as guilty and no contest pleas. Those pleas are heavily influenced by the use of cash bail as a pressure tactic to get plea acceptance. Something like 90% of cases don’t ever see a trial.

I now understand what is a source of cheap high end FPGAs on AliExpress. Though buying complete board does not make much sense, because it lacks the Golden Top project with all pin assignments and clocking constraints. This particular Stratix V has tons of logic elements and on chip memory, but applications are still rather limited for it. I did this before too, was curious how chip for $20k looks like :-)

My advice: get some board from Digilent, they have examples and active support forum. It will be more useful on the long run.

“It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer.“ - Justice Blackstone

I don’t understand why and how we got so far away from the idea that state punishment is the last resort, instead making it the first. Especially in the States, we do so many things that, even in the moment we are doing them, seem needlessly cruel yet justify them as “but what happens if one bad person continues to be bad and we miss the chance to smack them hard??”

Re. Doctors. I know my dentist actively does clinical research. His day job just involves seeing patients, doing root canals (in my case), but weekends are about research, he's published a bunch papers. His eyes light up every time I'm in the chair, and we have an enjoyable discussion about NumPy, R and the statistical techniques he's using, and the medical papers he's been reading (Well.. naturally with me unable to speak in the dentist's chair, he gets to do most of the talking.) I'm a lay person, so I cannot judge his skill level, but it's obvious he loves his job. His hospital obviously supports his work.
Oh sure. I'm totally not saying that the right point on the velocity/quality spectrum is always right over at the quality end (or even that those two choices are fundamentally orthogonal), and by using the phrase "an acceptable level of risk" you're demonstrating you're the sort of developer that understands there _is_ risk. And I'd assume that means you'd have pushed back if someone had instead "and this PDF generator needs to run on the same servers and have access to the databases with all our PII and financial information on them".

I spend a lot of time talking to "full stack developers" who came out of graphic design into front end web dev and then fell into nodejs backend dev, who's only "architecture" course was about drawing buildings and who's main complaints about security requirements are that bars across windows look ugly. A startlingly large number of them don't even know there are things they don't know. I'd say fewer than half of them could tell you what OWASP was, and fewer than 10% of them could tell you what SQLi or XSS was, and whether their sites need to consider them as attack vectors. Most of them just say "I use $frameworkDeJour, it handles all the security stuff!"

(BTW, last time I needed to supply dynamic PDFs in a web app, one of the good fullstack-via-FE-and-graphic-design devs build the PDF generation in the browser (using some random js/pdf library) so we could just feed it JSON from the backend. Made me sleep better at night doing it that way...)

A strict reading of the law in many US cities classifies nerf and airsoft guns as deadly weapons regardless of the velocities involved. I don't think that gets applied often (ever?), but a few people have gotten deadly weapon charges for using BB guns, so the line isn't too far away. With that as the backdrop I wouldn't be surprised at sharpened rulers being classified as knives (especially as pertaining to laws regarding weapons near schools).

I might be off base here, but I think those kinds of bogus laws are usually applied selectively in situations where any reasonable observer would agree that the perpetrator ought to be charged with something, but there isn't anything better to stick them with. The danger of course is that everyone always being guilty of something allows for less desirable forms of selective enforcement (race, gender, journalism, protests, teenagers), intentionally or not.

It’s actually one of the most obvious forms of friction, causing an increase in the cost of doing business.

If you want a really frictionless state management library for React, please try out my library https://github.com/baron816/use-structure

It lets you make state updates using native JavaScript mutation APIs. It uses Proxies to convert those mutable updates to be immutable so that your component updates correctly. This will work:

...

const arr = useStructure([]);

...

<button onClick={() => arr.push(1, 2, 3) }>Add value</button>

But you could use deeply nested arrays/objects/Maps/Sets. Or you could use your own class with its “mutating” methods.

If you know basic JS, you should be able to use it without worries.
Pro side: I don't see anything wrong with requiring a surety to ensure that people awaiting trial don't flee, in principle.

It makes sure people are less likely to run away while at the same time doesnt force them to sit in jail while they await trial.

It should be relative to your ability to pay, and the commercial bondsman industry seems messed up, but those are implementation details and not the core of the system.

*as an interesting note, in Canada its illegal to be a commercial bondsmand - https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-46/section-139.ht... i think that helps make the bail system be much more sane.
I bought an AMD GPU specifically for use with my Linux workstation and haven't regretted it. Perhaps I simply had bad luck with specific nVidia cards, but the AMD driver is stable in a way the nVidia driver simply never was, especially w/ respect to GPU accelerated desktop environments and screen capture utilities. The only change I made was to switch Arch over to the LTS kernel, as the upstream kernel in Arch isn't quite as battle hardened, and did occasionally require a rollback. That's not something that's likely to affect any other distro though, it's a side effect of Arch's bleeding edge nature.

Anecdotal data and all that. I'm on a Radeon VII, pretty darn solid, will probably continue to choose AMD cards in the future. Wish the Windows driver were a bit more stable, and it's... frankly weird to be saying that in comparison to the Linux driver for the same card.
