U-Boot has no business taking > 1-2s to boot PBP. More than that is kinda ridiculous. I was shocked seeing it take 8s when I first booted Manjaro. (My allwinner boards boot in ~2s, and those are all way slower than RK3399) With some older levinboot version, PBP boots to initramfs FDE password prompt in ~4s [1]. It's probably even faster now. I wish it would take 2s to that prompt, because then I can open PBP, enter password right away, and then just do something else waiting for the desktop to load. But 3-4s is already pretty nice.

At least suspend to idle works as a sort of replacement for suspend to ram. PBP can stay for long enough in that state, so it's usable on the go even without suspend to RAM.

You already have to think about everything you do online. Now you have to think about something you do even if it’s posted for a second. Some service is going to monitor it or one of the archive crusades will snap it up. This was already a concern, but now it’s more apparent. Now we have enterprise level employee monitoring for the internet.

None of this is new. It’s just getting worse. I fear for our future generations where they are discovering themselves and happen to post something online over their life journey and it’s immediately snapped up to be used against them later in life. We’ve been talking about this for years. What a shame we’re at this point. One day there will be a revolt to the internet. It will take a while, but it will happen.

I really want to talk about the percentage thing.

For a given outcome: it's the same deal whether the city spends 33% on policing and it's 100x dollars, or if it spends 33% on policing and it's 1x dollars? Surely the proportion of residents' money spent on policing is what matters.

> "Effective" to me means "achieves desired outcome". You seem to be using a different definition.

Basically nothing achieves desired outcome. Case clearance rates are hardly a figure of merit for policing: I think it's likely that you believe as such, too. Or do you think the system would be better if it threw more people in jail?

Argue in good faith. There's plenty of an argument for different police policy without going through ridiculous gymnastics ("percentage of income", arguing low case clearance rates makes policing ineffective, etc). Otherwise, you end up losing the people who might mostly agree with you-- maybe on purpose, are you just trolling?
Learning something new requires a lot of concentration and deliberate thinking and practice. When I learned chess I remember the friend I was playing with becoming a bit bored waiting for my moves but with time it became more automatic and only certain moves would make me think more and when not being able to evaluate or choose between alternative I'd go to gut feeling, possibly distilled from thousands and thousands of chess games played. At some point the tipping point leaned too much towards gut feeling and after some bluffing I decided to take a break from chess and moved on to something else. I think I got bored and my brain would jump to shortcuts. Then I discovered musical instruments

Using UUIDs externally is not only for privacy, but for security as well. There are attacks that are easier if you can guess the IDs that are being used. Also, not all systems are meant to be scrapped or deal with user-generated content.
I remember a few years back a data leak of stored financial information because the IDs provided for them in the "My Cards" section used sequential IDs. A simple script could scrape credit card data. Yes, I know that there were other security problems as well (not checking if a user has access to that card, storing it in a non-PCI compliant way, etc.), but still, the fact that the internal sequentially-generated PK was provided to the outside world, made things a lot easier.

I assumed the readers would follow the link to see the original results. GMP is undoubtedly the state-of-the-art of arbitrary-precision arithmetic. The point of this table was to compare bignum implementations provided by different languages, so programs that use GMP bindings are excluded. Probably it would make sense to include the best result that uses GMP, but I think GHC is quite representative of GMP's performance.

I'm not the first one who draw such a comparison. This article goes into some more detail: http://www.wilfred.me.uk/blog/2014/10/20/the-fastest-bigint-...
Monarchies tend to want to continue the family business. I’d expect them to learn from the tragedies of the 20th century.

I would wager this is most people working a 9-5. That's my point.

It's optional, entirely. In the US, it is not. You are forced to file, every year, by penalty of law (really nasty IRS calls/visits/audits). And in order to file, you must wade through endless forms and confusing tax law, usually missing a tax break costing you more - unless, that is, you use software.

And that's the rub - those software vendors are the ones lobbying against simplifying tax processess so that citizens are forced into using their software. It's not a "maybe this is happening". This is a "definitely happening" thing for decades now.
The idea of the constraint on an otherwise competent adult, to be legally redefined as incompetent, and then captive to the process I find very odd. You would think the tendency would be to keep this short, and to assume it isn't needed any more.

But instead, a lawyer is sucking $2m p.a. out of her royalties, because she's held to be still incompetent.

Sure, but I'd have a tough time finding proprietary software that I'd want to use that isn't adequately emulated. As for updating, well, I'm not going to be updating most FOSS, either.

Right now I can double-click an icon on my desktop that launches SimCity for Windows 3.1 inside of dosbox, and it works great. It didn't take much effort to get working, either.

I can't say the same for most dead FOSS that I've tried to resurrect. Usually I'll have to manage the outdated dependencies somehow, perhaps by writing a SHIM or somesuch; and probably significantly fiddle with the build system because Linux systems have changed significantly since the mid-90s.

It's a difference of hours versus days of effort. I've done both, but guess which I simply _haven't the time for_ now? I've got family and friends that need my attention moreso than a dead piece of FOSS no one but myself seems to care about.

> We need to disband all of the police forces and start again with a new culture based around a guardian mindset and community service

There are indeed people who want to abolish the police. There are those who don't. That's why I said "depends who's suggesting a replacement": in this particular case the top-level comment was calling to create a police force with a different institutional culture, not to create some non-police institution.

About Camden: a rebuilding of the department involved massive cultural change, selectively rehiring to weed out bad influences, recreating the hierarchy to put more civilian-friendly people on top, and breaking the back of the police union. Rebuilding an organization to do the same task from the ground up let's you accomplish that. You're still going to end up hiring from the same talent pool, but those individuals can behave very differently in a different organizational culture.
Do f-strings play nice with PyLint these days?
The reasons you list are absolutely some of the reasons why police are not effective at addressing these forms of crime. And statistically they are not much better at addressing other forms of crime either.

The point is that we should take the massive amount of funding that police receive in the US ($5.1 billion of which has gone towards military vehicles and equipment through the DOD 1033 program) and reallocate it to strategies which extend to people other options beyond a cycle of crime and punishment.

> he whole point of engineering is to figure out exactly what the bridge needs to do and make it do only that. So the "over-engineered" bridge is actually under-engineered -- they haven't thought enough about the actual problem. So too is most code that is called "over-engineered" -- it's far more common that people haven't though enough about the problem than that they've over-thought it.

It is different in the physical world where materials are a big factor and engineering will definitely not make free use of them. There are inefficiencies here and there but they're largely reduced. In the digital world of programming accidental and intentional complexity often slips through without anybody noticing and that is for many reasons. It's a relatively new field and is still quite inefficient. I worked in many places whose codebases are a giant maze designed with no clear architecture and sometimes I suspect this complicated mess of intentional moat building engineering.

> what standard of evidence would be enough for you

Well, I'll give you an example from a different but related issue: the question of whether the Confederate states seceded in order to defend slavery. Some people deny this, claiming that it was more about "states rights" or "heritage" or something like that. So here are some quotes from the Declaration of Causes of the Seceding States [1]:

"The prohibition of slavery in the Territories is the cardinal principle of this organization."

"Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world."

"She [Texas] was received as a commonwealth holding, maintaining and protecting the institution known as negro slavery-- the servitude of the African to the white race within her limits-- a relation that had existed from the first settlement of her wilderness by the white race, and which her people intended should exist in all future time."

"...the servitude of the African race, as existing in these States, is mutually beneficial to both bond and free, and is abundantly authorized and justified by the experience of mankind, and the revealed will of the Almighty Creator, as recognized by all Christian nations..."

Then in the Bill of Rights of the Confederate Constitution [2] we read:

"4. No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed."

So that seems pretty clear to me. When people mean something, they generally say it plainly.

See, e.g. here I'd agree with you totally: almost the entirety of that money spent on the militarization of police is worthless, or, worse, actively harmful. You don't need to make bullshit arguments to support it. Indeed, you weaken people's perceptions of the strength of the case when you give them bullshit arguments.

no that's not always the case - it's up to the individual to think for themselves what they want their investments to be. Tesla shares held by employees may want to keep it for the potential future growth. If they dont, they are allowed to sell.

forcing all employees to choose a "stable" investment option is just patronizing - let them choose for themselves.
