I definitely agree, but before reading Bradford, I strongly suggest watching this:

https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/pilgrims/

I seems to be available free online at the moment. You can also pay to watch on some services. You hear Bradford's actual words spoken by a fine actor in the context of the events he was describing. (They really are his words, not modernized, so some viewers might want to turn on closed captioning.) It's not perfect, but it's the best introduction I know to set the stage for reading Bradford's story of Plymouth.

I also suggest establishing a broader foundation in the early colonies with something like the Teaching Company's lectures on America before 1776, available in audio form from Audible.com, which allows one to establish a historical foundation while doing mind-numbing chores like doing the dishes or cleaning the garage.
The parents point is that when you do the primary school multiplication algorithm, you are actually performing a discrete convolution.
The CPU horsepower may be a limiting factor, but your best best for putting it together from common raspbian/debian software pieces would be using ffmpeg as an RTSP video stream server, and a separate way of encrypting the network traffic end to end (openvpn, wireguard, a more traditional ipsec tunnel, mounting a remote mount-point over sshfs and continually writing small temporary files to the destination, etc). Then at the destination end, have your choice of RTSP client/stream-receiving software pulling the video feed.

Some of the back end software pieces to do it are not very dissimilar from a typical 'zoneminder' install on amd64 debian. Yeah I edited that in after I forgot to include it before hitting the post button...

on something like a raspberry pi 3b+ or 4 you might get good results by using a video frame rate around 5fps. Or even if you went down to 2-3fps that would be functionally equivalent to a constant stream of still images, depending on what the stream is needed for. If it were a security camera that needs to see peoples' faces the frame rate could be too low, a moving person might pass through the frame without any good shots of their face.

If you have lots of network bandwidth you can do a great deal with ffmpeg by not transcoding the video from the format it's acquired from, which is very helpful on systems with limited CPU power.

One could perhaps raise the theoretical conjecture that a substantial part of the art of preserving modern wealth is taking it off the table...
Tao's explanation seems to be the deepest one so far.

Understanding convolution different contexts: geometry, vector algebra, statistics, signal progressing, control theory, functional analysis .. etc. just deepens the understanding.

Instead of finding one definition and then seeing everything trough it, one should try to find how different viewpoints are the same and learn to switch.
well, you can justify many cruel things this way
one of the things they teach is that if a foreign official says something like, "hmmm... your papers are invalid, but I can help you out for $100" or similar, you should pay and immediately report (and expense) it on return

I used to work for a company with a similar policy and training. "Airport tax" was how it was expensed, even if you weren't flying.
> Not UTF-8 characters, UTF-8 code points. UTF-8 characters (more properly "extended grapheme clusters") can be of any length.

Technically the only thing UTF-8 encodes is Unicode code points, as higher level abstractions like grapheme clusters are irrelevant for it. UTF-8 parser's job is to turn a sequence of octets to a sequence of code points.

So-called "user-perceived characters" approximated as grapheme clusters is a relatively recent innovation in Unicode terminology. Compare the modern version of the spec (https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/) since Unicode 5.1.0 (2008):

> It is important to recognize that what the user thinks of as a “character”—a basic unit of a writing system for a language—may not be just a single Unicode code point. Instead, that basic unit may be made up of multiple Unicode code points. To avoid ambiguity with the computer use of the term character, this is called a user-perceived character. For example, “G” + grave-accent is a user-perceived character: users think of it as a single character, yet is actually represented by two Unicode code points. These user-perceived characters are approximated by what is called a grapheme cluster, which can be determined programmatically.

With the previous one (https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/tr29-11.html) from Unicode 5.0.0 (2006):

> One or more Unicode characters may make up what the user thinks of as a character or basic unit of the language. To avoid ambiguity with the computer use of the term character, this is called a grapheme cluster. For example, “G” + acute-accent is a grapheme cluster: it is thought of as a single character by users, yet is actually represented by two Unicode code points.

So you can notice "the computer use of the term character" in both. Notice also that these grave and acute accents used as examples existed in pre-Unicode encodings too, and we still call them "combining characters".

Hence if we adhere to that old "computer use of the term character" then "UTF-8 characters" are Unicode code points, and "Unicode characters" don't exist; but if we use a modern colloquial meaning of characters as Unicode's "user-perceived characters" then "UTF-8 characters" don't exist.

Without structural steel, we lose the ability for large structures (e.g. bridges, skyscrapers, large scale ships, etc.) and we probably denude the world of trees. You would be hard pressed to find any new construction using no steel at all.

Steel is very easy to sanitize. Most of modern medicine also needs metal shaped precisely. Take out the precision and the sanitization and we're back to medicine that might kill people more often than it helps.
Perhaps I'm not communicating well today. I apologize if so.

Among the tens of thousands who were in the right place, single-digit dozens made the attempt, and only Linus succeeded in such a visible way. If you want to argue that he was merely the lucky one among dozens, then you still have a lot of extraordinary evidence to present, but you might have an interesting story to tell.

Your original comment reads like a dismissal because Linus drew inspiration from the world he lived in, and was just "lucky".

The point is that he did the work, he attracted the community, he managed the project. None of that was luck. And none of that is highly correlated with being an "amazing dev". Of course he stood on the shoulders of giants. Of course he learned from (and drew from) the environment around him. Of course Linux would be a forgotten academic project without the GNU userland (and license, maybe). Etc etc.

We all lived in that soup. Linus did the hard work and made something from it. I thought your comment was highly uncharitable in its disregard for all of things that made Linux successful.

> Yeah let's stop here it getting stupid.

On this, we can agree.
The word 'shill' was a poor choice, my bad.

> It seems like everyone wants to believe that the people they disagree with are being paid. It's a form of conspiratorial thinking.

Getting your product to the front page of HN "organically" has gotta be worth a lot, and it would be pretty strange if nothing on the front page was there via some less organic association.

It's not about disagreement or conspiracies, just that everyone talks like they're selling you things now even if they just own the thing and aren't being paid or intentionally 'influencing'. And I remember when it wasn't like that - even on reddit. I don't think it's an intentional thing (which would be your conspiratorial thinking) so much as an emergent property of large, anonymous, loosely connected groups of people where some of the people are only there to sell stuff, which just so happens to be convenient if you're there to sell.
I have no idea where this legal advice is coming from.

From the usual IANAL crowd: "I saw it on the internet, so it must be true."

And if you're an actual lawyer, internet rules dictate that anything you know is trumped by a Wikipedia link.
Not really. The driving laws except for recklessness are very well defined.

I've written APIs that require extra bytes. The exact requirements can be complex to explain, so to minimize complexity I would just put the maximum over-buffer size in the function docs.

As for _why_: knowing that you have a buffer of at least a certain size can allow you to avoid bounds checks, branches, and allocations. For hot loops this can result in a significant performance improvement.

As there's no indication in the article that Moyer or his team were threatened with violence, I'm reading and responding to your post as a theory ("People's ethics are often overridden under the weight of authority.") vs advice for the future ("When a person with a gun says do something, you should do it"). Let me know if I'm mistaken.

Your question is difficult to answer, but I ask in return: Is a general propensity to engage in an act sufficient to excuse it?

I will concede that "every person has their price". At some point we cross the line from "asking for a bribe" to "engaging in extortion" to "direct threats of violence".

Moyer ran the ethics and business conduct programs. Is there an expectation that someone in that position does have a durable set of principles, and a price higher than a CCW permit?

The appropriate consequences for the involved parties are, of course, along completely different ethical lines.

That’s a little dramatic.
The type signature of the outer product is not correct. We are mapping two functions to a function in the same domain.

Convolution is neither a valid example of an inner product or an outer product. No basic geometric operation on vectors has the correct type signature and axioms for convolution to be interpreted as a generalized "x". What we'd be looking for is a billinear mapping of vectors to vectors, and complex number style multiplication in R^2, or cross product multiplication in R^3 or R^7 are the only real candidates in that category unless we start interpreting functions as matrices.
Usual think of the children stuff. Basically, someone who shouldn't have a permit could hypothetically get one and then go on a killing spree, so we need to give police and sheriffs full powers to deny them. If I remember rightly, one of the main things the American gun control movement has been campaigning for is the removal of shall-issue policies which require police and sheriffs to issue permits like these unless they have a specific legally-defined reason not to, and replacing them with the kind of may-issue policies that allow arbitrary denials and this sort of corruption - and they're quite happy to point at dead kids and accuse anyone who gets in their way of supporting child murder to achieve this.
doesn't this take you to google instead of ddg(bing)? am I missing something?
No, it isn't. You are misinformed about the tawdry reality of asset seizure in the United States.

If the police take assets from you, you might think you get them back unless you're convicted of a crime. Far from it: you must prove the innocence of your seized assets to get them back, and good luck with that.

That this exists at all is a scandal and a moral hazard. Seizure should be strictly temporary until a conviction is obtained, and the burden of proof that assets are illegally obtained should be on the state, rather than the opposite, and the value of all seized goods should go into a Federal general fund, rather than retained by the local jurisdiction.

Until this is the case, and good luck with that reform, it is simply state-sanctioned theft. Nothing else.
Can you explain why this is expected?
It's almost like the system of permits for concessions is actually a corrupting force in cities! In my city many development projects went ahead because of various promises (low income housing, cultural venues, etc) and the developer didn't follow through in any meaningful way - i.e. a theater was built, no shows ever took place there. Or low income housing was transitioned to market rate housing within 5 years.

But at least these things happened in public, through a semi-transparent process of development permits with public consultations. The process is semi-fixed, the incentives are off, but it's not a straight up bribe behind closed doors.
There is some truth to what the author writes, but it's not absolute.

Softbank's Vision Fund basically exists to invest with that thesis. That an extremely well-funded and basically competent team will outlast all competitors and eventually own the market. Then they will have monopoly pricing power and become extremely profitable.

It hasn't worked out that way for them.

The article is no so much wrong as it is an oversimplification.
The reality is you can easily google "migraine/cluster headache" + "psilocybin" and find a lot of research and anecdotal evidence that your prior that they might be a (sarcasm detected)"miracle cure" should not be 0%. For example:

Many nonpsychedelic indole alkaloids that are structurally related to psilocybin, (e.g., methysergide, ergotamine, dihydroergotamine, and methylergonovine) are used as treatments for cluster headache, although they do not abort cluster periods or extend remission period as psilocybin is noted to do.[1]

2-Bromo-LSD is also used to treat cluster headaches. In fact if you look, essentially every drug used to treat migraine/cluster headaches is closely related to and acts on the same serotonin receptors as approved medicines.

[Psychoactive substances as a last resort—a qualitative study of self-treatment of migraine and cluster headaches] These patients are in a desperate and vulnerable situation, and illicit psychoactive substances are often considered a last resort. There appeared to be little or no interest in psychoactive effects per se as these were rather tolerated or avoided by using sub-psychoactive doses. Primarily, psilocybin, lysergic acid diethylamide, and related psychedelic tryptamines were reportedly effective for both prophylactic and acute treatment of cluster headache and migraines. Treatment results with cannabis were more unpredictable. No severe adverse events were reported, but it was observed how desperation sometimes spurred risky behavior when obtaining and testing various treatment alternatives.[2]

Given their longstanding legal status, much of the research has been amateur/anecdotal/self-experimentation by people desperate for any kind of treatment. Cluster headaches are also known as "suicide headaches" given how many sufferers without effective treatment choose to kill themselves rather than live with the pain. You will find widespread anecdotal reports of people finding lifesaving relief from psilocybin, LSD, MDMA, 5-MeO-DALT, etc.

All of which is just to say this sort of generic "underpowered study!" skepticism isn't very helpful. Maybe it's not a great study, but you should update your confidence starting from more like 50-90% that at least a subset of people suffering from migraines/cluster headaches would greatly benefit from psychedelic treatment. And if you're not aware of any of this background, it might be worth doing some reading before telling people to have 0.1% confidence in a low risk treatment that just might save their life.

I wouldn't call it paying a bribe so much as paying a ransom. It does not surprise me at all that this is happening given how much authority the Sherrif's have over CCW and how few they give out.

memtest exactly tests for different access patterns including attacks like Rowhammer. I also use Gentoo with background tasks like mprime/foldingathome (they can catch memory errors too), and any gcc/llvm errors would've been obvious by now (It's easy to repeatably and reliably test checksums on every compiled package). DRAM errors get progressively worse, replace the module when you find any errors. Simple as that. Focusing on finding errors early and doing backups protects against almost all classes of failures for home PCs.

With a median of 10,000 FIT or lower, it's zero errors every 5-10 years, and DDR4/5 might actually be below that if the rate of improvement between DDR1/2 was anywhere between 2x-10x continued. You'd have to overlook this important trend to see any benefit from ECC. Yes, there are DRAM errors, but if they can be found by memtest, bg scrubbing, self-tests and don't affect low-use scenarios, then it's meaningless to be talking about ECC for home use.

Setting speed and timings on ECC modules seems super flaky to me, do you know what speed and timings the separate ECC logic can handle? Can you turn off ECC and test DRAM independently? Maybe what you're seeing is the ECC logic throwing errors and not the DRAM.
He’s just suggesting it’s possible. It will happen eventually with the right incentive.

Awhile back I started using a video's 'like' button simply as a mechanism by which I could tell if I had watched something before since I did get repeat recommendations. Then, if I clicked a recommended video again later, I'd know I had already seen it. Over time, as far as I could tell, YT stopped recommending videos I'd seen before as there were fewer and fewer videos I would check out that I had already seen.

May also be attributed to something else, or I'm getting old, but it seems to have been a fortunate outcome.

I've lived in a couple of countries where bribes are a way of life. I'm happy it's not the case in CA.

Still, does anyone here know of a country, where artificially limiting resources do not encourage to bribes? Better yet, if somebody names a country, where bureaucrats are by law forbidden to limit the resources artificially, I'll strongly consider immigrating.

Small Gatherings Spread the Virus, but Are They Causing the Surge?
The implication of the original comment is that the negative influence of this small group of police officers really doesn't matter to the reputation of the police because they are "the people that have been beating, gassing, and shooting unarmed citizens for most of the last six months", which is also applying the actions of some of that group to the group as a whole.

I understand it's cathartic to have an "other" that you can focus anger on, and it's extremely beneficial for those trying to push an agenda, and the police have largely brought this upon themselves by being so insular, dysfunctional and resistant to any change, but it is an organization full of people, and I'm hesitant to apply a group stereotype to all individuals in a group, for what should be blatantly obvious reasons.
The problem with this is pretty obvious. When some scumbag like a pimp or similar without a conviction goes for a permit, you end up in a situation where the police are enabling certain types of undesirable behavior.

IMO, discretion for this sort of thing should be with a judge, not a cop.

> If you don't manage your memory precisely, then sure, C is probably not the language for you.

> More like writing C properly.

A lot of C problems could have been solved within the language without adding any kind of advanced CompSci construct. C is fundamentally outdated as a language and rely on assumptions and restrictions from the 70s.

Unfortunately each time someone wants to replace C, they stuff the remplacements with the unnecessary evolved constructs I talked about.

A language shouldn't need to be "written properly". Manual memory management doesn't have to be hard at first place, it is made hard by C weakly typed nature and horrid syntax.

The issue here at the end of the day is that getting a CCW is up to the whim of the local police. Either the federal government or the state government should present a well documented procedure for this that is not susceptible to the whims of a local official.
