> I'm curious how the US is so unique in this regard.

Culture, policing attitude, guns and the fact that the only thing lesser than the training US police officers receive is the bar to becoming one.

In most western countries becoming a police officer is a multi-year selective process, with lots and lots of training for conflict resolution, lessons on psychology, and of course the law. In the US you can be let loose on the streets in as little as 3 months.

Then once you're past the street level, the US also imposes much higher sentences on average, and punishment continues even after your sentence is served - by marking you as a felon for the rest of your life and locking you out of many opportunities for leading a normal life. Hello to high recidivism rates.

The prison term itself, the punishment, is also just that: punishment. Prison conditions are inhumane. If you treat humans as something lesser, they will behave accordingly.

That's the rough picture.
Agreed. As we probably all know, the earth is smoother than a regulation billiard ball wrapped in 1000-grit sandpaper.

Dont commit over 50% of the homicides in the country despite being 13% of the population and the stats will go down. Not saying there cannot be underlying problems worth solving but lets not pretend like theres some grand plan for police to kill more black people than other races.

I spent a few hours trying to get a local build of signal-ios working a few weeks ago, in order to write a PR fix a bug with lost voice messages. The xcode project uses a plethora of device entitlements I'm not allowed to have (since I don't have the proper signal signing key). Even after a couple hours of tweaking to get it building and deployed to my device, its currently crashing on startup because it can't access some special signal local device store.

You can certainly get your own build working (without notifications and other features). But personally I found it prohibitively difficult to do so.

The world just started moving to PostgreSQL from Oracle. More and More migrations are expected. However, some commercial vendors are trying to side-track the Crowd by creating Vendor lock-in stating they provide Enterprise features on Postgres through their commercial forks.

However, is PostgreSQL not already an Enterprise Grade ?

I hope the world understands the capabilities of Community (Open Source) PostgreSQL and do not get carried away by the some of the commercial vendors.

I fully support using the proper resources to tackle these non-violent problems instead of sending cops which could very easily turn into someone dead.

What I do not support is completely decriminalization or disincarceration like the current DA of San Francisco is doing. He has turned SF into a dangerous place where criminals are no longer worried about stealing into cars, burglarizing homes, etc. This will only escalate and I really hope the recall effort to get rid of him hastens.
I feel like the windows are there to create context for the human brain, not because they resemble the shape of the screen. These context may look a little different to windows, but I don't think they will be radically different in principle and will still maintain a distinct resemblance to the physical world. That's what our brains are moulded to best interface with after all.
Sure, but thats not at all the point I'm addressing and is outside the scope of this conversation.

Im not here to go deep down the rabbit hole with you on philosophy. Im just giving you the context on the numbers.

People will get over it. Especially if Apple does it.

I remember clearly in 1999 going to dinner with co-workers, all of us pulling out our cell phones for something and one of the co-workers wives call us all geeks for even having a cell phone. I'm sure that same person is now more addicted to her smartphone than her husband.

The same will happen with AR. It will seem "ewww gross" until it doesn't
Nextdoor is a walled garden. I can pick up a small-town paper, often for free even and read to my delight. No one has to know who I am and I don't have to be a part of the neighborhood.

I think the inclusive nature of Nextdoor is a net negative and both perpetuates fear having to do with home owners' security and separates the in-crowd from others in the neighborhood.

I once had a cop issue me a moving violation for Jay walking. So I understand that there can be pettiness from certain cops.

But that's a far cry from a cop being violent against someone or killing someone wrongfully. The justice system also acknowledges it cannot right every wrong, but hopefully when there's a major wrong it should be able to right it every time.

One other root cause, which I haven't seen mentioned yet, is that the purchasing clowns at the automakers cancelled chip orders last year after the pandemic hit.

Oops.

The automakers love to fuck over their suppliers like this. But, sucks for them, those same chip makers have other customers who continued to order chips. Which, in production volume, can have leadtimes of 26 weeks or more.

I’m starting to feel like this perfect or nothing attitude is a massive amplifier of the problems we’re facing.

I wished they made the ecosystem as easy as Go to install on Linux. Last time I "tried" to get into F# (The lang looks really good). I was lost between mono and .net and the other 1000000 gazillion libraries I had to install to get a basic dev-env. After giving up half my SSD in storage, I still had env issues. :/
> Saccadic eye movement allows the mind to read quickly, but it comes with its disadvantages. It can cause the mind to skip over words because it doesn't see them as important to the sentence, and the mind completely leaves it from the sentence or it replaces it with the wrong word. This can be seen in 'Paris in the the Spring'. This is a common psychological test, where the mind will often skip the second 'the', especially when there is a line break in between the two.

Well, looks like I just failed the test, even though I made a genuine effort to read the paragraph very carefully after the the second sentence.

Good stuff. Good to know. Thanks.

Just to explain a bit what made me think of this: I'm doing Object-Oriented Programming. I have data-structures like Array, let's say 2-array. But because it is OOP I can also associate operations with the data-structures. If I store numbers into a two-array and add operations of complex arithmetic as my methods I now have Complex Numbers. But what If I want to do cross-product and dot-product too? I just add those methods into my class. I now have a class I could name ComplexNumber, or I could name it Vector2D.

Instead of creating separate classes for Complex Numbers and Vectors it seems to me it gets simpler if I create just one class, and add operations to it as needed.

So I wonder when I was taught complex numbers why didn't they tell me that I can also do cross-products on them . And when I was taught vectors why didn't they tell me they are really complex numbers, they just added two new operations to them, the cross-product and dot-product... ?
> No one is talking about the very big risk associated with this

The left is. "Abolish the police"/"Abolish prisons" refer to an abolition of policing and the entire law enforcement/prison complex. Social workers (and, I suspect, other rapid response officials) are certainly part of this.

> A consumer gaming device can come later.

They had a partnership with Valve back in 2017 for Vive support on MacOS... Just three years later it was canceled. (There were actually more VR games running on Linux at that point than on MacOS, thanks to Proton.) I'm not expecting Apple to try to enter the VR gaming space again anytime soon.
this is what people mean by defunding the police! conservatives are so silly when they say this increases crime...
I'm sure not much will come of my reply, but I will try once to make you think about it again and actually back up your claim. No gaslighting involved. You started the numbers talk by saying "While personal anecdotes are fun, the numbers tell a different story." The story itself talks about supply shortages of semi conductors, not of demand shortages because people aren't trying to buy F-150s.

So, do show us the numbers that you are talking about. I'm always for being educated and having numbers available.

Until then, I will go with the experience I have had and that of "asguy" and both of our experiences have been that F-150 driving work has not declined significantly from our point of view. In fact, I see two F-350s (!) right out my window across in the neighbor's driveway (both he and his son work in construction). And yes, they're busy.
I'm working off this:

>it's really not actually that big a problem, compared to say... Murders or violent crime.

It seems big enough to be "a big problem".
This program has the potential to be major net gain for our society. We have the largest incarcerated population in the world. We have mental health and opioid crises. Our current models of policing are ineffective and inhumane.

I hope that these health professionals become far more widespread and are held in as high regard as firefighters who also risk being seriously injured or worse.
This is the exact problem with that argument. Healthcare workers can commit you against your will just as police officers can as well.

I'm not sure what the proportion of citizens armed with firearms has to do with this. Its about rights of citizens in the country, all of whom can defend themselves and end life without trial in the correct circumstance, being self-defence (as it should be).

And nobody in the country should have the right to detain you without trial. If you really believe this I'm afraid that is quite short sighted.

Cuscuna told Marker that the bankruptcy allowed, in her words, “bottom-feeders,” to snap up the company, and says it was clear from the start that they couldn’t work together. Zapata, she says, wasn’t particularly interested in them, and she was not interested in “defending her worth.” (“Nobody’s irreplaceable,” Zapata explains, something he says he learned in his Navy SEALs days.) Zapata says he did eventually offer them roles, but they declined. Smith says he does not regret this. “We would have been miserable trying to operate with somebody’s vision who didn’t support us.”

Is the risk alone a "very big" risk? Or are you saying the difference in risk of this happening with a cop vs. a medical person is a "very big" difference? Are cops not also able to commit someone involuntarily? Why are you talking about objective "very big risk" without comparing it to the current situation and what is different about this?

I did a google search for "can a police officer commit someone to a mental ward" and this is the first result, from harvard:
https://blog.petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2014/11/25/short-ter....

This says that a police officer is also able to commit someone in most jurisdictions. Why didn't you also mention this fact?

Compensation for risk occurs through the same mechanism as compensation for everything: the supply and demand curves. This creates outcomes where the compensation for risk occurs at a deeper level, co-mingled in with many other factors.

I'm sure many people don't agree with this and think the absolute riskiness of a job should factor into compensation irrespective of the risk preferences of the labor market as a whole.

I don't really agree and generally contend that markets (labor or otherwise) are the most efficient and elegant solution for pricing anything. At the very least, if a better and more robust system exists, it hasn't been discovered as of yet.

That new title confused me at first... maybe I'm the only one. The actual title of the article is more clear to me.

That's a rather bold assertion -- can you cite any statistics or surveys?

In some limited sense, they may "choose" homelessness over poor shelter conditions or unaffordable housing, but that can hardly be considered a choice.
I recently set my indoor/outdoor thermometer to Celsius, and I now have an argument for Fahrenheit that I haven't heard before. It may not make sense to anyone else...

The minimal temperature difference that "makes a difference" to me in Fahrenheit is about two degrees. When I'm comfortable at 70, I feel a little cold at 68. But in Celsius, that's about 21 vs 20. Having one degree make a difference vaguely feels wrong to me.

The scale should have slightly more precision than a person can easily feel. It's sort of loosely associated in my mind with how you need to have an audio sampling rate twice your top frequency.

I thought of a modest proposal. There are 360 degrees in a circle, so there should be 360 degrees between absolute zero and the melting point of water. That would also split the difference between the size of the deg. C and deg. F.

Or, if you don't like that, then how about a scale that goes from 0 at water freezing to 200 at boiling?

'Many of the psychiatrists involved as practitioners and policy makers in the 1950's and 1960's said in the interviews that heavy responsibility lay on a sometimes neglected aspect of the problem: the overreliance on drugs to do the work of society.

The records show that the politicians were dogged by the image and financial problems posed by the state hospitals and that the scientific and medical establishment sold Congress and the state legislatures a quick fix for a complicated problem that was bought sight unseen.'

No, though I have plenty of anecdotes from friends who have. I agree that these apply regardless of language. Whitespace errors are arguably some of the more insidious syntax errors though, since most editors will not differentiate between spaces and tabs (e.g. vim's set list) and to the beginner programmer it doesn't feel like the number of spaces should matter (I'm indenting my blocks, why do you care how much?)

I don't believe there's any room for misconduct or gross incompetence. It's one thing to not be able to fix every wrong, it's another when the system itself creates those wrongs.

If you have a trooper lying to a judge or continuing to hold a charge against you they know is false, they should be fired.

If a magistrate doesn't know the basics of the law (like due process and dismissing with prejudice), then how can they be qualified to rule on it?
That is..... a wild way to put it.

To be perfectly fair, unless you count WASM or other compiles-to-JS-but-not-quite-native langs (which, outside TS, are pretty niche), this is the case with literally every language except JS.
Maybe you can argue that it's been outclassed but Spark's ML toolbox is plenty serviceable for commercial applications and used all over the world.

Now that all the APIs are centered around Dataframes, Scala's rich type system has been relegated to providing implicits for the SQL-like DSL, which is a shame, but it's still an eminently Scala-centric tool.
