This is a great point, it's not in the job description of a police officer to punish criminals. But if you see the types of language that police officers frequently post with on social media, you see them framing themselves as warriors in a battle of good and evil.

Cops shouldn't see suspects as evil they the cops themselves are at war with. Formally their job is to keep the peace, get the suspect into the justice system and allow the justice system to work. Instead cops view themselves as armed enforcers on the side of "good" that the cops themselves define ad hoc.
This is very long overdue.

Interestingly, the post has no attribution or by-line, and as usual, Facebook takes no responsibility for helping spread hate (the entire post is very passive).

The alternative to "link to custom fonts on a third-party server" isn't "don't use custom fonts" though, it's "host them on your own server".

In any event, the point about accessibility is wrong because it's more common for designers to use custom fonts that are harder to read than easier.

Terraform at Scale
I don't get all the hate for win10 -- I love *nix from a the pov of a clear, orthogonal internal design (at least from 10k feet) and it doesn't make since to deploy at scale on Win (unless you really need to) -- but why would I ever want to spend time dealing with all the configuration idiosyncrasies and driver issues on a day-to-day basis, if what I'm using a OS for is to host browsers, editors, IDEs, terminal windows, etc., and productivity apps? Okay, win8 was DoA, but win10 seems pretty unoffensive FWICT. I just want to pick up my machine (and just as importantly, someone else's random machine) and have it just work as I expect.
History 101: humanity doesn't learn from history
It was a demonstration of the premise of relative vs. absolute, not an attempt to argue that one is somehow more obvious and should be considered better to everyone (which I disagree with).
That's one thing I really like about Common Lisp: a project can be untouched for over a decade and still work perfectly with the very latest versions of SBCL/LispWorks/Allegro/CLISP/whatever.

Sometimes a library can just be done.
to_string_t as shown is bait for undefined behavior, when combined with auto:

#include <string>
#include <string_view>
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>

struct to_string_t {
std::string_view s;
// I'm too lazy to download boost::lexical_cast:
operator int() const { std::stringstream ss; ss << s; int r = 0; ss >> r; return r; }
operator bool() const { std::stringstream ss; ss << s; bool r = false; ss >> r; return r; }
};

to_string_t from_string(std::string_view s) { return to_string_t{s}; }

void takes_int(int i) {
std::cout << i << "\n";
}

int main() {
std::string foo = "1";

takes_int(from_string(foo + "0")); // OK

const auto a = from_string(foo + "0"); // temporary string
takes_int(a); // use after free bug, the temporary string was freed
}

MSVC's debug heap seems to have trouble catching it (small string optimizations?) and prints "10" followed by "0" (not another "10"!), but address sanitizer at least has my back:

The whole point of Project Reunion is to drop some of those ideas and get back on track with a Windows 7 like development stack, just with an improved runtime tooling (UWP).

I'll tell you more, hardware is often simulated in software from those source descriptions before going to any sort of production. Which is probably one of the reasons for the existence of these definition languages.
It's been shown that deplatforming and moving those nuts out of the mainstream social media channels reduce their influence. There was holocaust denier before Faceook, but their reach was much more limited. Remember that Facebook promotes groups and suggest you content that you're not following, so when holocaust deniers are part of the platform, some people with no exposure to the concept might start getting recommendations to follow this content. Banning it prevents it. They can scream on their small social network that reach 200 people but that won't convince millions of people of joining the movement.
We cannot rely on anything outside the client's secure network. There are a few exceptional items that are allowed to talk to the internet, but our system's data persistence layer is not one of them.

Effectively, our client's operations cannot rely on cloud services and all of the related last mile connectivity into their infrastructure. If AWS/Azure/et.al. go down, many of our customers are still able to continue operating without difficulty.

Having used hooks to replace my state at some point I couldn't agree more. Application state should not be dependent on components, rather components should be dependent on application state.

My recommendation is keep hooks and contexts for ui state only, like form fields/validations, modal popups, drawer collapse, filter options, etc, but for things dealing with more general application state which the ui will display, like user information, products list, project data, application settings, etc, a separable state machine should be used. This works well because components are responsible for their own state leaving the state manager clean from individual ui component information, and ui components are free to be passed whatever data improving reusability.
It learns something for 40-60 years before forgetting it again.
This isn't actually a tangent, and is a reason I knew there were people who prefer absolute direction.
> I really, really hate the expectancy of software developers to have side projects at home.

I feel exactly the same way, but there is an incredible amount of hostility to this website in this thread imo. I almost made a similar blog post to start my blog off this year (which I still haven't gotten around to doing), and I did a similar thing with a web domain I bought as a joke while drinking. After years of development, it was actually exhilarating to work on something that I have no deadlines for and can use as an outlet to explore technologies I never got to use but always wondered about. I get the same energy from this website.

I hate the expectancy of software devs to work on their own projects as a resume builder, but this site seems to be _specifically not about that_. On the contrary, it seems to me like the author is re-learning how approach something that they may have forgotten that they even like to do in a casual way, which I think is nice. In fact, when working on side projects I care about these days, I get annoyed by my friends constantly trying to figure out how I'm going to spin it as work experience.

I think this year has demonstrated the appeal of games made with Unity - "Fall Guys" and "Among Us" have been very successful over the summer (despite "Among Us" actually coming out in 2018).
I think that generally foreign (I.e non-Swedish in my case) media does not really distinguish them. I read Nyt, washpo, the guardian and le monde and IIRC all of them had headlines similar to "The winners of the Nobel prize in Economy".

Swedish media in general will say "The winners of the Sverige Riksbank price in Economic science in memory of Alfred Nobel" (or just "the prize in economics).

Well, I've been using Nvidia cards for years, and the last time I built a new computer (some months ago) I had a hard time deciding whether to stick to Nvidia or switching to AMD. Eventually, I chose to stay with Nvidia, because getting a new AMD card (apart from the fact that there seems to be no budget AMD cards...) seemed like a lottery in terms of having a stable Linux desktop environment, being my best bet to get an older generation card (RX570 or RX580), that had not much availability and they were overpriced here.

As for slowing down Linux desktop progress, I think it's not Nvidia's fault: you could always get a card from another vendor, although the alternatives were not as good. Well, maybe those other vendors are to blame, and not Nvidia...
When you talk to Linux admins, they don't try to claim that something you know very well on your platform doesn't work either. Windows folks, come out of woodwork doing claims about things they have zero knowledge about. Or they heard about it 20 years ago and think that nothing changed since then, despite everything being overhauled every 2 years.
Admirable move. I think Facebook (and all its properties), Twitter, and other hyper-connected social networks must show a healthy level of intolerance towards groups and ideologies that are beyond reason and recall, especially when those said groups are overtly and unmistakably intolerant themselves.

This heavy-handedness isn't an encroachment on free speech but a necessary impediment to keep the spirit of free speech and free society intact, one where the tolerant voices aren't drained out by the relentlessness and irrationality of the intolerant.

I've looked a few times, but I have been unable to find a table of global average temperatures by month for the past few decades. The only "true facts" that newspapers publish are those that are cherry-picked.

I, personally, accept climate change on faith because I defer to the experts. However, it's shocking to me how inaccessible unbiased facts are. It is conceivable that record cold temps are being set just as often. It's conceivable that nearly everything is a record if global averages are just now being recorded by month (or if they have been rebaselined after a methodology change).

Articles like this raise more questions than they answer. They aren't going to convince someone who isn't already convinced, and they only demoralize those who already are convinced.

How do you know the person in question isn't renting both spots? And unfortunately renting two spots is often a requirement in Europe for example because the lot sizes tend to be so small that it is impossible to park with a wide car otherwise.
I agree that a certain amount of practice is needed to get and remain sharp (but actually suspect that 40hrs is too much), but I disagree strongly that a “love” for their craft is a necessity. There are tons of incredibly competent engineers who do it as a job to make a living without it being their main passion. I don’t expect my plumber to be in love with plumbing, I just expect them to be competent. Claiming that loving programming is anywhere near a necessity to learn new things is to completely ignore how people in any other profession learn new things.
This seems like a really bizarre interface. When I first opened it in Safari, I was shown exactly two examples, and despite the underlined coloring of things like Python and Go as they rotated through the header, they're not clickable.

I'd given up on the site as broken before I saw other comments here suggesting I missed something, so I tried loading it again, this time in Chrome, and there I saw more examples, but still all JS. with no other obvious options or way to find other languages.

Finally I noticed "5 other examples" in what is literally the least-highlighted text on the screen, and that led to me other languages.

Discoverability: 1 out of 10

As the header text rotates, it shifts the rest of the content up and down which is not helpful for reading or targeting.

All in all, I won't be back.
> To dismiss all evidence of UAP's out of hand as "illogical" is just as unscientific as to accept them as being proof of ET visitation.

I think it's pretty disingenuous to present those two takes as being equally bad. Yes we don't know everything and leaving room for extraordinary things to happen is healthy, but I have yet to see evidences that aliens have cause a UAP. On the other hand we have good empirical evidence that sighting of unusal phenomenas with perfectly mundane explanations can, and do, create testimonies of so called "alien visitations". We even have pretty good psycho-sociological explanations for why this happens.

So without even looking at the specific details of a particular UAP sighting, coming at it from the angle of "people probably saw weird stuff and their brains filled the gap" is the right approach in my opinion. That doesn't mean we have to stop here of course, but it is a sensible default position.
While I think these finding would hold up to be true, I find it difficult to believe they can sufficiently account for external factors given the sample size is 261 deaths. I wish they could perform the same comparison using police shootings, though I doubt that data would be available to the press.
The context was with respect to memory overhead, so can you explain this difference with respect to that axis, showing that C with no standard library somehow has higher memory overhead than Rust with no_std? With respect to the actual conversational context, I stand by my comparison.
I would like to see if there is an correlation between the hiring of ex-military people, the purchase of military equipment, and any increase in police-related violence. Many people think that soldiers make good cops. In reality, the jobs share almost nothing in common.

Ask HN: My parent company got acquired for $45M
Hi, my parent company is in US and got acquired by a market leader in our domain (web security). All of the backend/technical/systems of our company is done from Indian company where i hold 29% of shares; remaining shares have been acquired by company as part of the parent company deal. The parent company got sold at valuation of $45M. I owned just 2% of parent company. I had no say in negotiation price in parent company deal.

Question is what should be fair valuation of my 29% should they chose to buy my shares ? Our Indian company only has staff and knowledge as assets. I have been like a co-founder for this business(including parent company) and still hold lot of value knowledge-wise for the company. We have been doing this since last 15 years. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure how you're having a hard time. Yes, Microsoft releases new OS versions. I'm not sure what you think that has to do with backwards compatibility. Have you not heard any of the stories about all the hacks Microsoft has had to implement over the past decades to ensure that third-party applications function correctly? A program made for Win95 will generally work seamlessly on W10. Worst-case scenario, you'll need to change compatibility settings or configure exceptions in things like exploit protection. The same can't be said for Linux, where the only thing you can count on is the kernel's ABI.
The amount of money spent on this gear won't make a dent in resolving these societal issues. Our police are a bandaid on top of a deep wound that is our failings in mental health, poverty, and education.
Cost savings? They probably still have lots of kernel developers.
> Windows would never sacrifice it's backwards compatibility.

They wouldn't necessarily need to sacrifice backwards compatibility. They would just have to ensure that the new OS fully supports all of their APIs from the past.

Imagine Wine but 10 times better, built into the OS natively, and built by 500 engineers with full-time pay. I'm sure it could be pulled off, if they wanted to.

But they probably don't want to.
