For more background on the decline in homicide clearance rates in the USA, here's a 2015 interview with Thomas Hargrove, the founder of murderdata.org: https://www.themarshallproject.org/2015/04/02/why-are-americ...

Hargrove claims that the overall decline in homicide clearance is a failure of local leadership:

> It is the position of the Murder Accountability Project that declining homicide clearance rates are a failure of leadership by local police and by the politicians over them. When mayors and other elected officials make murder clearance a priority, as did the mayor of Philadelphia a few years ago, the clearance rate will improve significantly. If readers look at the “clearance rate” charts at our website, they will find hundreds of police departments that are doing a stellar job solving murders.

> [...] we strongly believe that failure to solve murders are a failure of will by local leaders to make homicide clearance a priority in their communities.

> That homicide clearance rates have plummeted despite the forensic revolution is one of the real mysteries in American law enforcement. The backlog of DNA testing has certainly slowed down the process in many cases. Lab testing may have forced a “pause” in murder investigations, which causes delays that can dramatically reduce the odds of a homicide being solved.
All of this is useless chatter for most folks that just want a decent gaming platform. Sadly, Intel on Windows is going to be where folks go.
> I'm skeptical that this actually captures what hiring managers or recruiters care about when looking at resumes,

You're in the tech industry and you honestly are skeptical that recruiters and hiring managers at most companies aren't extremely eager, to say the very least, to hire female candidates?
Gender and social class, the latter of which has been shown to be a the discriminating factor in some industries in many countries.
Strattera is legal in Russia (its a slightly different class of drug)
Me too, I sound white too. I've noticed reactions when a Hispanic looking guy shows up.

I have 6 kids, their mother is white. I've heard stories from each of them that range from kids asking, "why is your dad brown and you're pink?" to "My parents were surprised when that brown guy showed up to pick you up."
I live in Germany. It's also very straightforward here to become a citizen. You just need to live here legally for 8 years, learn German to B1 proficiency, take a test about how our government works and pay €255.

One thing that's a big differentiator from the US system, is that the immigration system doesn't use lotteries or quotas. As long as you fulfill the requirements, as listed in the law, you get citizenship or the relevant residency permit.
I'm sorry to disappoint you, but your benchmark methodology is flawed. You did not consider TCP congestion control/window scaling. TCP connections between to peers are "cold" (=slow) after the 3-way handshake, and it takes several roundtrips to "warm" them up (allow data to be sent at a level that saturates your bandwidth). The mistake you (and most other people performing HTTP load benchmarks) made, is that the Kernel (Linux, but also all other major OS Kernels) caches the state of the "warm" connection based on the IP adress. So basically, when you run this kind of benchmark with 1000 subsequent runs, only your first run uses a "cold" TCP connection. All other 999 runs will re-use the cached TCP congestion control send window, and start with a "hot" connection.

The bad news: For website requests <2MB, you spend most of your time waiting for the round-trips to complete, say: you spend most of the time warming up the TCP connection. So its very likely that if you redo your benchmarks clearing the window cache between runs (google tcp_no_metrics_save) you will get completely different results.

Here is an analogy: If you want to compare the acceleration of 2 cars, you would have race them from point A to point B starting at a velocity of 0mph at point A, and measure the time it takes to reach to point B. In your benchmark, you basically allowed the cars to start 100 meters before point A, and will measure the time it takes between passing point A and B. Frankly, for cars, acceleration decreases with increasing velocity; for TCP its the other way around: the amount of data allowed to send on a round trip gets larger with every rountrip (usually somewhat exponentially).
That's cool! I thought I had heard similar but wasn't sure. Probably extends the life of those little critters.
>We will just have to figure out other ways to stop the terrorists.. (or stop creating them in the first place)

Other ways? All this mass surveillance has hardly helped so far. All you get is nice footage after someone blew something up.

By the way these surveillance cameras and systems are stupidly expensive. For most installations they're so expensive you could pay for a police officer permanently stationed for years at each of those public spaces and subway stations you were going to surveil. That would actually help making them safer.

On top of that there's many other ways to use that money to save lives where it matters.

For instance you could use the money you were going to use on surveilling public places to make them physically safer instead: less accident-prone, install public access defibrillators, etc. Statistically you're going to save so many magnitudes more lives that way, it's not even funny.

People seem to assume that heart attacks is something that happens to other people, while terrorism of all things is a personal threat to them.

If you think political outcomes rarely interfere with daily routines, you should realize that you are very lucky. Obamacare made a big difference to whether people could get healthcare, DACA to whether they could stay in the US, laws on reproductive freedom, right to marry who you choose, get an apartment without racial discrimination, etc. etc. etc.
Depending on when you did this, likely somewhat.

One of the positives of the Google+ shutdown was that Google Takeout saw a major overhaul around February of 2019. Third-party tools (Alois Bělaška's Friends+Me was invaluable https://blog.friendsplus.me/) still proved very useful, and gave capabilities missing from Google's offerings.

Dealing with data exports remains challenging.
you have to get a custom ROM, like lineageOS. The OS itself (and most of the stock apps) are calling home to Google constantly, depending on the phone manufacturer, it's likely calling home to them all the time too.

You can use something like Netguard to get some idea of what's going off your device (if you're rooted AFWall). It's not perfect, but it's essential software in my opinion. You can see somethings that of that get through Netguard on PiHole, if you have it setup on your network.

Removal of play services is one step, but pretty much every app on the phone from the stock keyboard ("Gboard") to all pre-installed apps call home. In the newer versions of Android, Gboard and other apps will complain every few seconds if/when Play Services is Disabled, as they don't get to send the telemetry and usage data to Google.
From context I think they meant that "men have always been in the majority".

To the extent that this is true, I don't think the complexity of the architecture has anything to do with the reason there's a single language for them.

That's a good question, I have no idea! You'd have to pump it full of gas against a pressure of ~1300 PSI. Googling around, that's about equivalent to a kilometer under water.

Granted, it's not impossible - ocean oil rigs operate at those depths - but they're not operating at 500 degrees celcius.

I spent the last week working on this web app that makes it easy to get anonymous feedback.

The idea is that people create their personal link (this is mine: https://feedfeedback.com/fersarr) and send it to their friends and paste it on their social media bio pages, so that anyone can openly write to them.

In the next few days I want to add a few more features like team support, custom questions and support for more languages. If you have any other requests/ideas do let me know!

Also if you are interested enough to work on it with me (any amount of commitment is okay) shoot me an email at my username at gmail.

Thanks!

That’s true, but it’s fairly easy to do research beforehand to avoid this. The people generally impacted by this can afford advice from a tax attorney.
It is normal, but it's kind of disappointing that from my (uneducated) vantage point, we don't seem to be at all closer to AGI than we were in 1994.

It's like the difference between Kitty Hawk and a Boeing airliner. Yes, they are impressive feats of engineering, and the massive training hours tell the story.

But the Boeing Airliner is still less clever than a fruit fly, to merge the metaphors.

Personal experience.

Got hired into a company that did everything possible to avoid hiring straight white men.

Everything was completely dominated by not offending anyone over anything. Unless you were the aforementioned group.

Turns out there simply isn’t a lot of the right race/gender/sex. I’m sure that’ll be different as time progresses, but for now there is clearly some catching up to do.

So it was all jr developers. A couple of which truly cared about technology, and I see good things in their future.

The rest were the most arrogant sexist bigots imaginable.

Most days were filled with hatred. Full rant fest about how evil “my kind” were. But it wasn’t personal as I was clearly one of the good ones...

So yeah, n=1 personal experience. But crude that echo chamber was scary.
I didn't recognise hardly any of the frameworks in that list so here's my little translation of the top 6 for people like me:

1: Drogon (c++ Framework)

2: Actix (Rust Framework)

3: may-minihttp (Rust Framework)

4: Lithium (C++ Framework)

5: Jooby.x (Java/Kotlin Framework)

6: asp.net core

So I guess that would be .NET Core 3.1
The 5950X in a single core load only uses around 18w. Drop 200mhz off of the top end boost frequency and it drops to 11w.

Short duration single core workloads workout a fan is trivial even for CPUs that aren't trying to do so.
The education sector has already bought into Chromebooks, which means that most in-class technology solutions are going to target the browser. The only thing anyone will need to learn to move between OSes is: how do I turn it on, where's the button to launch the browser, how do I turn it off. Everything else will already be familiar.
Most of the electron apps out there already have native iOS versions which will run natively on AS macs too, that should go a long way to smooth the transition (and will be interesting to see how much extra RAM you gain from not needing slack/spotify/notion etc to run on Electron).

I guess there will still be issues for people who need to run VMs or media apps like Adobe CC etc, and also it will take a while for some dev environments to be fully supported (https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issues/7857 for example shows it will take some time to get to feature parity).

Overall though a lot of the hard work has already been done, and I'm sure in 2 years time or whenever the transition is 'complete', mac owners will be getting much more value for money with few drawbacks (the main one being higher walls around the garden)
Everytime one of these threads shows up someone mentions gait recognition, which sounds incredibly dystopian. Do I have to be constantly conscious of how I walk now to maintain some form of privacy?
You see the same order of magnitude differences between encoding 8-bit H265 on the 2020 imac vs 2019 imac. The T2 in the 2020 imac has hardware encoding ability for 8-bit H265.

Now, the thing is: intel's AVX512 instructions are supposed to accelerate this sort of work, but in practice they are getting lapped by the T2 chip. That signals that apple's ability to tune hardware designs to the needs of content creators is greater than intel's.

I found this user management strategy somewhere, and it's been working great for me:

git config --global --unset user.name
git config --global --unset user.email
git config --global --unset user.signingkey

git config --global user.useConfigOnly true

git config --global user.<id>.name "<name>"
git config --global user.<id>.email "<email>"

git config --global alias.identity '! git config user.name "$(git config user.$1.name)"; git config user.email "$(git config user.$1.email)"; :'

So given that I have created two users, e.g. personal and work I run:

git identity work

in repos that need the work name/e-mail, and

git identity personal

in the ones that are private.

I find the Google/Startup dichotomy here fascinating. We are on hackernews, a site focused on startups. Pivoting dramatically, including throwing away your entire customer base for a different population, is considered an essential part of running a startup. But if a big company has a product that is obviously stagnating at a small userbase then the community demands that it be supported in perpetuity.

There is a pair of Cole Haan shoes I really like. I bought several of the same exact style over the years. It was eventually phased out. I can't buy it anymore. Is Cole Haan narcissistic for not offering me the shoe I want?

It depends how you write TypeScript. It's explicitly designed so that you can write it like C# if you want to (classes, interfaces, enums, dependency injection), but you can just as easily compose plain data types and write plain first-class functions and never touch classes.
It's not as if that reputation came about out of thin air. Developers have memory and are not quick to forgive or forget.

This part will likely confuse people who are not familiar with shell and will create a bunch of thousands "_" files worldwide.

Quick explanation:

>_ echo hello

or equivalently:

echo hello >_

when executed in a shell creates a file named "_" with contents of "hello". Author seems to use ">_" as a terminal icon, but many will copy it as part of a command.

That is, if I'm not missing anything clever here.

Upd: copy button doesn't copy the >_ part, so the "icon" theory seems to be correct.

The only problem with blind selection, is that, sooner or later, the race/gender/sexual orientation/religion/fitness/attractiveness/age (I'm an old fart, so I can tell you a thing or two about ageism in tech) becomes apparent.

I have heard story after story from peers (around my age), about passing numerous rounds of phone and test interviews, only to see the interviewer's face fall, as soon as they walk in the door. It's happened to me, but, thankfully, before being flown out (if it's a contract application, then we're on the hook for the cost), and revealing the age.

It happens with highly qualified older white guys, so I'm sure that it will happen with other distinguishing characteristics.

The simple fact of the matter is, is that people have certain traits they are looking for, and the final call is always a "gut feeling."

I've learned to just avoid all the agita by making it clear that I'm "of a certain age," right up front. I don't get many offers, but at least I don't have those blasted recruiters, gushing about my résumé, only to shred my contact card, as soon as they find out I'm old (I guess the industry is crawling with 32-year-olds with 30 years' experience).

I don't think it's a good idea to have AIs do the selection (as has been suggested numerous times -usually by folks in the AI business). Humans need to work with humans. If an AI puts someone into a situation where they are treated like garbage by their managers and/or co-workers, then they will be miserable (and unproductive); especially if they have done something like uproot their lives to move somewhere (I have also heard many stories from people that have uprooted their lives to go to "the perfect" job, only to come back, a few months later, broken and cynical).

If the people involved don't want to work with someone like me, then I don't want to work with them. That's easy for me to say, though. It can really stink, when you're hungry and need the work.

“No reason why” - there are many reasons, and it’s why they have become more expensive.

It’s not clear that nuclear is more reliable than any other similar monetary investment. People like to compare “wind that only blows 40% of the time” with nuclear, but you can build three or more farms for the cost of your single nuclear plant, so it’s not that hard to end up ahead. There’s a great comparison of that in one of the top level comments on this post.

I had to fight my Chinese wife's tooth and nail not to play in that shame game "but everyone else has a huge diamond ring". My god, get it yourself, it's just a ring, I won't do like some friends who borrow on 5 years to buy one so big the girl is scared to wear it and put it in a safe...

I bought her a small 300 euros one, she found it almost insulting but after a month, stopped wearing it "because it's a bit heavy" and "it's just a ring, it's true it doesn't really matter". 5 years later, we're still married with a child and she wouldn't even remember where she put the "diamond".

Don't you guys think that entrypoint is only 0.0000...1% of your development time? Not having to write Namespace, class, main method (which comes in template anyway), is not something I would use to compare languages.
