There were two incidents I've read of, neither inside the capital or even on capital grounds.

One was a guy who had two 9mm handguns. No mention of what led to the arrest, but it seems to be a stop and frisk type of encounter.

The other is the guy who allegedly had a wagon of molotov's, and was also carrying some type of firearm.

Neither seem to be incidents of the people being in the act of using the weapons. Although if the guy had actual molotovs, yeah that's not good.

Down and Out in Paris and London is an all-time favorite of mine, delving as it does into eternal truths about both restaurant work and homelessness. It's also a fantastic slice of life for that particular time period. The experience of sharing a malnourished existence and tiny flea-ridden Parisian tenement room with a voluble White Russian emigré was conveyed so well it nearly feels like one of my own memories.
The biggest mistake of the decade from Mozilla was to not invest in extracting and encapsulating Firefox's rendering and js engines. Creating a Firefox clone is very hard. Well established browsers like PaleMoon are cursed to lag gehind Firefox because of that.

This ban was long overdue. Are some people more equal than others?

I may be downvoted here for this statement but that is just some site on the internet. I may be banned from Twitter that is also just another site. Actually was banned from r/Conservative, so what?

Facebook/Twitter are problems because many things, but banning someone for roaring the masses is not one of them.

And arguments like: 'But who is deciding what is hate speech?' seems to me just like fallacy here. Because we have concrete example of spreading misinformation and roaring people in order to undermine civic society. This has already led to violence. 'What if' is just taking away attention from what has already been done.

“The left can't improve the situation by trying to debate with people that's unwilling to debate in the first place, period.“

This is true.

However the left can improve the situation by being willing to debate people who are willing to debate, and yet casual dismissals or irrelevances about whiteness and racism stop that dead.

By not doing so, they do create the climate for extremism, frankly at both ends.

Extremism is a problem, but it’s a false dichotomy to think of extremism as somehow independent of what everyone else does.

I don't have a link, because this is a Discord-based project, but it's a scheduler for D&D games.

A DM issues a command in a channel, which generates a link for them to use; the link takes them to my website, where they choose their available dates and times. Once they're done, a message is sent back to the Discord channel with the possible play dates, and potential players vote by reacting to the message with the emojis which represent the available dates.

The DM can "lock" the votes and choose the date by reacting with another emoji on a "summary" message.

It works, but the match-the-emoji-with-the-date interface is annoying, since you have to keep track of which emoji means what. I'm going to eventually rewrite it to send multiple messages, one per date, but I got stuck when trying to add React to the project (for no good fucking reason.)

> Creating a data schema (sql, no-sql, api based, whatever)

Schemas apply to more than databases. That may be less important for drivers, where the developer is also the domain expert for what they are implementing, but not necessarily so for avionics software. Lets saw you are implementing a black box. Are you the developer also a flight expert that knows everything that needs to be recorded and how each data point relates to each other? Not just in the sense of the hardware, but everything an FAA investigator wants to know. Probably not. So you need to work with pilots, FAA, and other non-developers to understand that domain.

Knowing how to construct a data model by talking to the experts of that domain is not just for databases.

There's one more standard, but you could say that about any standardisation effort. These things take a really long time, trying again isn't a bad thing.

Most software standards (and even hardware to some extent) aren't that complicated, if you absolutely nail your design people will switch and yours may dominate. If it doesn't then there's no real harm done because no one's going to use it.

No, madvise() does not give good control over paging behavior. As the syscall indicates, it is merely a suggestion. The kernel is free to ignore it and frequently does. This non-determinism makes it nearly useless for many types of page scheduling optimizations. For some workloads, the kernel consistently makes poor paging choices and there is no way to force it to make good paging choices. You have much better visibility into the I/O behavior of your application than the kernel does.

In my experience, at least for database-y workloads, if you care enough about paging behavior to use madvise(), you might as well just use any number of O_DIRECT alternatives that offer deterministic paging control. It is much easier than trying to cajole the kernel into doing what you need via madvise().
Heard of Trifacta? Something similar?
> Tho perhaps that's more of a failing of the OpenCV build script than Cmake itself?

That is exactly what that is. Cmake is extremely powerful, and it lets library authors make build configuration that is quite often too flexible. Combine that with no standardized package manager for c or c++ for decades, and much cmake evolution over that time, means you encounter many different ways to solve problems.

Opencv is up there for most complex cmake projects. Only behemoths like VTK, ITK, and ROS beat it in complexity of the build.

Also, don't beat yourself up too much. :)
Ever heard the term "anarcho-tyranny" ?
if CMake works for LLVM, Qt, KDE, ReactOS, OpenCV and all the other projects in vcpkg there's some chance it's working for whatever your project is
I can't speak for MSVC support, but to me CMake fails all other bullet points. especially cross-platform package detection.

> But I believe that Trump/Parler bans have nothing to do with economical benefits.

Agreed. They're more along the civil rights dimension.

The 1964 Civil Rights Act didn't mandate equal access because of Big Restaurant or Big Bus Stop--it was because segregation was an exceedingly immoral, dehumanizing, discriminatory action against millions of people.

That Big Tech finds half the country so odious they are willing to ban them is pretty gross to me. I think people should be served, as humans, irrespective of their beliefs. I don't think it matters whether those beliefs are religious or political (the new religion for a lot of people).
No I don't support throwing out votes. This is why I support thomas and alitos reaction to texas v pa.

They said they would have taken the case but, even if they found pa to be wrong, they would not give the resolution asked for. That's eminently reasonable to me. This ensures that if they ruledagainst pa, then what happened there won't happen again while ensuring that thousands who voted in good faith are not disenfranchised

> Which is in fact exactly what happens to many lottery winners, sports stars, musicians, child actors...

I suspect the problem of sport stars et cetera is that they have to focus most of their time on their career, thus most don't have time to learn about finance (and not being from rich families means they can't simply copy the strategy of their parents), but it is publicly known that they are rich, and there are scammers who specialize on exactly this kind of victim. That is, I suspect that many sport stars will at some moment of their life meet a "financial advisor" with references from fellow sport stars, who offers to take care of their finance, and they go "lucky me, now I can focus 100% on my training", only to find out later that the money is gone.

To get rich, you need two different skills -- one to make money, and one to keep it -- and they both compete for your time. If you only focus on being good at what you do professionally, you may see lot of money flowing through your hands, but the part that you don't spend will somehow disappear anyway.

> Most people who get rich get that way by saving money. That means living on less money than you can make. Indefinitely.

That's true, but it is much easier to save money if you already started with a large amount. With enough starting money, it simply means not spending more than the interest you get (after adjusting for inflation).

I'm building a privacy-first fitness / health tracker.

I managed to lose a lot of weight during lockdown with the help of fitbit but using a Google service to handover my most personal of data doesn't sit right with me (it served a purpose).

- Platform / API access (so you OWN your data)
- Client-side encryption - No tracking / knowledge
- Weight, Calories, Diet, Run
- Import GPS from Garmin etc.. graph/store/play

It was hacked together in an afternoon and def not ready for prime time, but it got quite a bit more interaction than originally thought. Also, perhaps its greatest form (like many things I've made) might be as half-baked.

Now the question is: do I make more? My instinct says no because of how hard hardware is, especially as a joke...

Either way, at very least, the interaction definitely defends the "don't worry, be crappy" hypothesis.

One can't point to a definitive set of facts that proves the right was "shut out" completely. Because they weren't all shut out and they weren't (for now) supposedly singled-out and "shut out" because they
republican/right-leaning. They had "plausible" and "official" reasons for doing the things they did in each case.

What did occur was a lot of little things and disparate things that had a huge dampening effect on the mobilization of discussion and questioning of details. And this has been happening for way before the election results were even out, it's been going on for years with a steady escalation.

There was also the constant repetitive narrative pushing, specific language and tone by reporters, activists and politicians that essentially gave "official" and "quotable" legitimacy to potentially-questionable election results, and gave plausible excuses/cover to de-legitimize and conspiracy-blame any criticisms of the election results. This stuff is downright scary, and a good chunk of the people not seeing it are the ones that are (for now) in the "good books" of whoever is overall in charge of driving the narrative and controlling public discourse. Right now, the left/Democratic party is in said good books.

Look how the discussion is so widely and suddenly revolving around conflating this protest with insurrection even though it was essentially a fart in the grand scheme of things, and implying that there is a huge overlap between right/republican/conservative individuals and "racists/white-supremacists". It's laying the ground-work to make it legitimate and acceptable to assume/claim that republicans are racists among other things. Next up we'll have dehumanization, firings and overall de-platforming because said protestors were "terrorists" due to their participation. The event will be labelled as a "coup attempt" and the storming of the building was a "terrorist attack". And if you question any of these accepted facts (because hey all news reports labelled it as such) you too will be de-platformed, ostracized and called a terrorist-sympathizer or a "something-denier" (hint look at the anti covid-lockdown protests for an example).
