Adding on to what you said: What people dont get about traffic stops, to issue someone a ticket, their ID needs to be ran to be validated. What also happens when you run an ID? Oh this person has a warrant(s). Who tends to shoot cops or anyone who decides to pull them over? People with warrants because they dont want to go to jail! Or they're riding dirty. An unarmed ticket maid won't stop the problems.

Anyways, domestic disputes are some of the most dangerous calls for cops. A social worker to diffuse the situation seems like a good idea in theory. However reality doesn't give 2 shits about theory. The reason 911 is called out to these is because violence is about to happen, is happening or has been. Hell, Jacksonville sent a female officer to a a domestic dispute of something being stolen between 2 females last year. Body cam shows the officer walks up to the door, knocks, announces herself takes two steps back and waits. A chick just opens the door with a knife and stabs the female officer. "Anecdotal" you say. No. I used to do security integration for a few police departments in Colorado. I got to know a lot of them and would just hear and see this dumb shit nearly daily. Hell, watch Donut Operator on youtube. The amount of videos like this are ridiculously high.

Just out of the blue, a seemingly innocent call, someone gets their stupid on and attacks the cops. And this is Colorado (Denverand Co Springs area). Not the most dangerous area in the country. I now live in Florida.

Do I think cops need a few weeks of better deescalation training or even a better training program needs to be developed? Absolutely and I know for a fact about 80% of other cops want this because they were talking about it back in 2015. Do all cops need to have better hand to hand combat training so they dont need to always result to their firearm or the ineffective less than lethal countermeasures provided (yea tasers and bean bags dont work nearly as often as you think). My opinion doesn't matter because 100% of cops have begged for this, again, since 2015 that I know of. But that all requires funding, unlike Seattle deciding to cut the PD budget by a 3rd, saying they wanted to take more and made their black female chief the poorest paid chief in Seattle history. Who, mind you, even the most racist sexist asshole who looks at her resume will say she earned being the chief, without question.

I swear a majority of people are rational and understand that reality is a dangerous place and bad things happen. They know that defunding the cops and sending an unarmed social worker is just going to result in higher body bag orders or the police are going to get reinvented through them. That's enough internet for now.
The similarly named Fluoxetine has lesser (but still significant) effects at Sigma-1. Since Fluoxetine is so widely distributed (because it's Prozac), there is quite a bit of observational data that Fluoxetine is also correlated with reduced clinical severity. Obviously, even a strong correlation is not causation but it is certainly grounds for prioritizing investigation, especially since Fluoxetine/Prozac is very well-tolerated, inexpensive and widely available in mass quantity.
A few were but it was a tiny proportion. Think 5 people out of 100,000 that went type of situation.
> They sell to megacorps to make money, not to scale their product

I should have been more explicit. Scale is the arbitrage opportunity exploited by megacorps: Buying an upstart at $X means they project that they can make a multiple of $X out of the transaction, based on their ability to scale (or integration with other products). If smaller team could easily make the same multiple of $X, then they wouldn't sell at $X.
That's a poor excuse. They're low resolution, but not so low resolution that you can chant a slogan and then claim you meant something else entirely. Why not "reform the police", or hell, even "disarm the police"?
Lots of people literally were wanting to abolish the police. The expression meant something different to almost everybody who said it. A city unanimously voted to do it[1]

Economics of Software Quality has a function point to language conversion data, and function point to quality charts, so you could possibly say infer from that.
But F# doesn't have async/await.
As you write, it has "computation expressions", which are inspired by Haskell's "do-notation", but are more generalised and powerful (than both Haskell's "do-notation" or Scala's "for-comprehension", let alone async/await).

One of the things I liked best about F#.
Claiming "mmap is faster than system calls" is dangerous.

I once worked for a company where they also heard someone say "mmap is faster than read/write" and as a consequence rewrite their while( read() ) loop into the following monstrosity:

1. mmap a 4KB chunk of the file

2. memcpy it into the destination buffer

3. munmap the 4KB chunk

4. repeat until eof

This is different from the claim in the article -- the above monstrosity is individually mmaping each 4KB block, while I presume the article's benchmark is mmaping the entire file in memory at once, which makes much more sense.

After I claimed the "monstrosity" was absurdly stupid, someone pointed to a benchmark they made and found that the "monstrosity" version was actually faster. To me, this made no sense. The monstrosity has triple the syscall overhead vs the read() version, requires manipulating page tables for every 4KB block and as a consequence had several page faults for each 4KB block of the file. Yet it was true: their benchmarks showed the monstrosity version to be slightly faster.

The idealist in me couldn't stand this and I reverted this change, using for my own (unrelated) experiments a binary which used the older, classic, read() loop instead of mmap.

Eventually I noticed I was getting results much faster using my build on my single-socket Xeon than they were getting on their $$$ server farms. Despite what the benchmark said.

Turns out, the "monstrosity" was indeed faster, but if you had several of these binaries running concurrently on the same machine, they would all slow down each other, as if the kernel was having scale issues with multiple processes constantly changing their page tables. The thing would slow down to single-core levels of performance.

I still have no idea why the benchmark was apparently slightly faster, but obviously they were checking it either isolated or on machines where the other processes where running read() loops. I guess that by wasting more kernel CPU time on yourself you may starve other processes in the system leaving more user time for yourself. But once every process does it, the net result is still significantly lowered performance for everyone.

Just yet another anecdote for the experience bag...
Yeah, I know that copying what a 10 year bodybuilder is doing is no good and not the fault of bodybuilding as a sport. But I'm making an even bolder statement: that using concentration exercises like bicep curls, leg curls and (especially) 3-4 different angles of shoulder and chest work, espcially with machines and high reps, will very much increase your chances of injury.

I'm telling you that whenever I walk into a commercial gym or my building gym (i.e. not a powerlifting or oly gym) I see easily 90% of the people doing stuff I know is in bad form at worst, and at best will give them the most mild of training regimens. I blame the culture of bodybuilding (in the U.S. at least. I read that in Eastern Europe there is a very different attitude and training culture starting from school).

I argue that barbell training -- functional training more broadly, which includes calisthenics if you want -- is vastly safer and superior to bodybuilding and indeed yes, it does require a bit of personal training and instruction in the beginning.
When you march with something that’s objectively false and materially misleading, you lose my good faith engagement.

“Defund the police” is misleading in a way that “Trump Train” and “Ridin’ with Biden” are not. It’s not a real train and Biden isn’t with you, but people are not misled.

Doing some ballpark math based on the content that is listed on the wiki page[0], there is around ~165 hours of original Quibi content.

Hadn’t thought of that! Interesting idea.
Indeed. Folks were hungry - there was minimal waste.

Unless, by waste, you count eating the contents of another animal’s digestive tract.
you are speaking about a general case scenario, there is conservation of sequence region and variation of sequence region. to wit one protien encoding sequence has separate regions corresponding to regions of the product protien, the receptor binding domain[RBD] is a moderately conserved region ; the ImmunoAntigenic regions are not tightly linked to the protiens receptor binding function thus may vary at a greater rate than the RBD regions
I think it’s interesting to explore how different data representations in computer graphics are taking advantage of ever improving GPUs to enable new applications/workflows. The two I know of most are SDFs and Image-based rendering techniques like light fields, primarily as Neural Radiance Fields. Are there any other interesting ones emerging?
You are almost right: The distribution of letters and length of words is similar to that of the Latin language. But it is not Latin and the text does not make sense. It's gibberish.
If only we had a similar expectation of "explaining to do" when the opposite happens, and an innocent person winds up dead because of an armed traffic stop?

Philando Castile serves as a good example.
I think part of the difference in mentality comes from the difference in material constraints.

If a mechanical engineer designs something that needs a ton of fancy moving parts, those moving parts significantly and directly impact their budget (I assume), because they're going to have to be purchased or made for each widget that gets manufactured. They also unavoidably impact physical properties of the object, like weight and dimensions.

Whereas a programmer can spin out as much code as they want, basically without material consequence. There is no constant gravitational force keeping them in check, requiring them to justify each piece of complexity as they go. It's ethereal, weightless, and its disadvantages usually only surface years down the line.
So get rid of freedom of speech? Got it.

I mean, you're basically the problem here. You're very clearly being disingenuous and playing word games at the exact moment you're accusing others of doing the same.
Average flight length matters. The airframe wears out based on pressurization and depressurization cycles, not just age or flight hours. Planes associated with short hop routes tend to wear out faster.
How do you know to send a social worker or a cop before they're identified and checked for warrants? Or do we just do 100% unarmed social workers and ask the dude with a warrant to kindly wait about 5 to 10 minutes for cops to come over to arrest them?

No, it's nowhere near reasonable for her to do what she did. Everyone has a damn iPhone and they have very few models which all look very similar. The kid even had his own phone case which she asked him to remove. It's unreasonable to ask a stranger that just appeared in an elevator to give their phone to you.

And maybe it's a cultural thing but I've never seen a grown woman tackling a 14 year old kid to the ground like this, and if I ever do you can be sure I will call the police. Just because you've seen it often doesn't mean it should be normalised.

And no, she's not being "destroyed" by the racism accusation. But she might be destroyed if she goes to jail and gets a permanent record. And she had it coming. Actions HAVE consequences.
Concise Encoding: https://concise-encoding.org

The friendly data format for human and machine. Think JSON, but with 1:1 compatible twin binary and text formats and rich type support.

* Edit text, transmit binary. Humans love text. Machines love binary. With Concise Encoding, conversion is 1:1 and seamless.

* Rich type support. Boolean, integer, float, string, bytes, time, URI, UUID, list, map, markup, metadata, comments, etc.

* Plug and play. No schema needed. No special syntax files. No code generation. Just import and go.

The specifications are pretty much ready for version 1.0 release now, but I'm holding off until I have the reference implementation done (about 90% complete at https://github.com/kstenerud/go-concise-encoding). After that I'll start on the schema specification. Once that's done, I have a low-level communication protocol that will use this format under the hood.

I could use help in the following areas:

* Looking over the specifications and pointing out anything that looks weird or off or might cause problems.

* Help with the schema specification.

* Implementations in other languages.
> the Civil Rights act was passed in 1964.

A Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964.

Civil Rights Acts were also passed in 1866, 1871, 1875, 1957, 1960, 1968, and 1991.

But the passage of a Civil Rights Act is not, in and of itself, an indication of the end of systemic racism.

> The question is how do we go back to the old more free internet, or if anything how do we free ourselves from the yolk of the likes of Zuckerberg?

I'm already free from Zuckerberg, Dorsey, and their coterie of techbros nostalgic for the dominance of AOL over the internet ordinary people used. I have my own website, that I built myself on a domain I've registered, and my own email at my own domain. It's my HN username dot org, if you care.

The free internet is still here. There's nothing stopping you from building your own website, registering a domain, and renting a VPS to host it. Nor is there anything to stop you from rejecting GMail and Outlook for personal email and going with a provider that will let you use your domain. There's nothing stopping you from using RSS feeds to keep up with other people's blogs, or just bookmarking your favorites and visiting people's website's periodically.

All of the old tech is still here, waiting to be used. The only thing stopping you from taking advantage is you.

After all, Alex Jones still has infowars dot com. stormfront dot org is still online, offering a safe space for fascists. There's nothing stopping 45 from giving his kid a couple hundred a week in exchange for registering a domain and firing up a blog where he can say whatever he likes and nobody has to listen if the don't want to.

The problem is that the free/open internet isn't "good enough" for people who aren't content with free speech but think they're entitled to an audience. That's why the culture war has consumed social media. Right-wingers think they're entitled to an audience, and left-wingers think they have the right to set themselves as arbiters of who deserves to have their message distributed.

What neither side can agree on is that EVERYBODY has the right to speak and NOBODY is entitled to an audience. They don't understand that an individual's right to speak ends where everybody else's right to ignore him begins.

As unfortunate as this is, 152 isn't such a small study compared to what's common.

Not saying this is a result that should be taken as definite, but it's strong enough to warrant further looking into this (which was never really true for hydroxychloroquine).
Intel CPUs have REP MOVS, which is basically the same thing.
Tags and search lack the orientation given by structured organization. You can complement the structure with them, but you can't replace it. How many times have you searched a word or topic and had to discard dozens of unrelated results? Have you ever wanted to listen to classical music and ended with Beatles music tagged "classic"?
I don't, and it would be very scary if it did. all I'm saying it's quite reasonable to be unsure what "defund the police" means. it's not at all clear that it has some generally accepted meaning.
Law enforcement/FBI have never been good at stopping terrorist attacks. The only ones they stop are the ones where the attacker is being stupid obvious like openly talking about it online. Most of the time they let them go through because "they need to build a case".

Do you think it should be a fortress? That's sad. It's supposed to be an accessible place where your representatives work, not a military base.
there are choices you make every day without giving it another thought which contribute a drop in the bucket of destroying our own habitat and biome. and many people are making those same choices together. you could sacrifice and live like a poor person but you don,t. like a nouveau riche, you buy things you don,t need from the global economy which are trucked and shipped around the world on diesel many times over before you see them, and you know it, and you still do it, because you,re too lazy to make a change. then you blame the ones you just hired to do the damage for you. you're giving your power away and have no one else to blame.
I spent a brief amount time working with smart city tech. You might be surprised just how many cameras and sensors already exist that are monitoring you at any moment as you walk down the street. The issue usually isn’t that there’s no evidence for crimes, it’s that investigating those mostly petty crimes, outside of secure areas is an extremely low priority for police departments. For example, I’ve had the police reject my video evidence of a hit and run where the driver admitted to it on camera, because they didn’t want to spend resources investigating something that didn’t result in a death.

I stopped working with smart city tech because I felt there’s only two realistic directions it can go: Excessive surveillance by the police, or excessive surveillance by people whose only interest is selling whatever data they can collect about you in public spaces to advertisers and other 3rd parties.

That’s not the current situation under Section 230. You can even re-tweet or forward content posted by someone else and not be liable. Only the original author is liable. This is sensible baca use otherwise all sorts of innocuous relaying, trending and categorisation activity normal of forums and social media that affect the scope and visibility of posts could trigger liability.
Oh no, that much I agree with. I meant to just add it as, help was both requested and not requested on different days, but no one was really saying which day they're referring to, so they could both be right and either have the days mixed up or be unaware of the other instance.

Glad you like it! Completely agree about the overkill-ness of ELK.

I haven't had a chance to try Datadog yet but it looks great, the one complaint I've had with Splunk (or at least the way we use it at work) is that it's still "Just logs" and sometimes you need more than that to investigate issues while Datadog seems to cover more areas of monitoring in one package.
> You could have kept internal border controls except for essential work.

Lack of internal borders in the EU is one of the most important features of the bloc, both in terms of maintaining close integration that could prevent more intra-European wars and in terms of mere everyday convenience. I would gladly sacrifice the demographic most at risk of COVID (about half of all deaths in the EU so far have been in care homes) in order to avoid internal borders.

Also, China has been able to eliminate COVID (and even that is subject to doubt) only through civil-rights violations that the West would not tolerate. Pointing to China and saying "They did it, so the EU could too" misses the point. Vietnam was able to avoid a surge in COVID cases only because they hadn’t yet got the huge number of cases that the EU had first without even being aware of it; of course if somewhere else is already suffering, and you aren’t, you can close the borders and avoid the problems from the start.

The media pretends that this is unprecendented and willfully forgets the events of last year when antifa forcefully took a federal courthouse in Portland. They also ignore the general carnage of last year - violence and arson directed at business owners and people following the death of George Floyd. When viewed side by side, the double standards shown by the press is staggering
