SF has sadly experienced a pretty meteoric rise in crime but one of the problems is the DA's office is underreporting so the actual number is much higher.

A big part of the rise is California's Prop47, it passed and basically made any crime that cost less than $950 impossible to prosecute. Then SF's DA has also refused to prosecute a variety of other crimes that were previously prosecuted leading to SF becoming a hotspot. The joke is that "crime is legal in SF", and sadly thats basically true.

I'm an SF native and I've never seen it this bad, its really awful.
Could you say more about that trustful relationship? How did it start, did you have similar backgrounds, was it work-focused or get into personal stuff? Signs to look for/ aim towards for people who aspire to meaningful, trusting relationships.
It’s easy to say “occupy if necessary” sitting on a couch. It’s ridiculous how people throw words like this. And statistically speaking, the majority of commentators here never even held an assault rifle in their lives.

No, entrapment has to show you never would have done the thing without police involvement, simply offering drugs to you wont generally meet that bar!

Let's take California for instance

* Official conduct that constitutes entrapment under California law

* pressure (examples include appealing to your sense of friendship/compassion or offering an enormous amount of compensation for committing the crime)

* harassment or threats (repeated and unwavering solicitation of the activity)

* fraud (promises that the suggested conduct is legal)

* Official permissible conduct not subject to California entrapment law

* presenting an opportunity to participate in criminal activity

* initiating the criminal activity

* undercover operations

* reasonable assurances that you’re not being “set up”

Doing that will kind of work, but you'll lose the context of the group after merging/fast-forwarding onto the main branch.
I was going to post exactly the same. Bonus point you can make it work like that in GitLab (but not GitHub)
This is what I also do. I rebase all my branches and merge them with a no-fast-forward commit, which does not introduce any changes itself, but can be used to document the overall changes of a specific feature.

The best part about this workflow is that history remains linear; it is very easy to track the history of changes (since there is never a "branch" with changes on both sides) while at the same time you keep the ability to visualize where the start/end points for a given feature were.

It also works with nested branches! You simply create a new branch2 from your branch1, and then merge --no-ff branch2 to branch1.

You don't actually need to give the changes back to the community, you only need to give the changed code to those you distribute the modified software to.

In other words:

- if you don't publish the modified software, you don't need to give the changed code to anyone

- if you distribute the modified software to a single entity, you only need to give the changed code to that single entity (and they absolutely do not need to publish it)

- etc.

I know people mostly view this through the eyes of large public projects, forks, etc., but there more to it then that.
I'm referring to peer-reviewed studies in regards to the risk of long COVID in minors.
> (license violation and copyright violation are similar but not 100% the same thing)

How? Absent a license, there is nothing permitting the redistributing of software. There is no such thing as a “license violation”; if you do not fulfill the terms of the license, you have no license to distribute, and are violating copyright.
That sounds a lot like the old annual joke about Bluetooth: “sure, we know it’s kind of rough around the edges today, but you just wait – it will be amazing next year!”

I agree with you that Emacs and Neovim are at different levels of maturity. And I agree that Neovim could eventually gain better docs, more mature and stable packages, more consistent UI conventions, a better Lua dev experience, less experimental and more actively developed GUIs for those who need something more flexible or accessible than a terminal-drawn UI, better filter-pickers, better documentation for LSP integrations, better git integration, better GitHub/GitLab/forge integration, better plugin dependency handling, a better governance story, a healthier bus factor and contribution story, and more thought about the impact of a fork on the Vim community as a whole.

What I disagree with is the idea that “Neovim will be just as good or better than Emacs in a few years and all your current qualms will mean nothing then” is a compelling reason to use Neovim over Emacs today. My list above is a lot of work, and that’s just to reach parity with Emacs, which will also be maturing and improving in that time. To exceed Emacs for me Neovim would need to do all of that and more, or all of that but better and faster.

I don’t doubt that Neovim will get better really fast because the velocity so far is strong. But right now Neovim feels like a scrappy collection of hacks and experiments from a community of enthusiastic prospectors and beta testers who collectively seem to have no common opinion about what they’re even hoping to build (some still feel that Neovim should not become an IDE or that as much functionality as possible should be shelled out to CLI dependencies).

It’s exciting to be part of a bleeding edge editor community if you’re happy to write or contribute to plugins and try out and configure a bunch of existing ones every few months. It’s less great if you want stable IDE-like features now that feel like they were designed with taste and consistency and have been maintained with love for years.

I don’t really have a horse in the race except that I spent a _lot_ of time configuring and building things for Neovim while using it as a daily driver that I now wish had been spent on Emacs instead. I’m also excited that we have such strong communities of Neovim and Emacs hackers today that both are fun to hack on, get work done with, and continue to argue about with strangers on the internet.
I was shocked at how minimal the impact was on Garmin, given that their customers are consumers who are trusting them with very personal data.

You’re quite right that every saving ends up getting funnelled into mortgage payments.

> Too many rich engineers with their stock going up 10-20x is what is fueling the housing crunch.

But you’ve missed the mark here. We haven’t seen rich engineers push up the price of Teslas or iPhones or Xfinity because these things are all in plentiful supply. If there were only 1000 iPhones in the world, they would cost a fortune and all be owned by rich people or speculators. And that’s the situation with housing, not just in the Bay Area but across much of America and Western Europe. The majority of the housing stock is owned by the baby boomers who neglected the need to build new housing for their children. And where does all this tech wealth end up? In that generation’s bank accounts when they sell or rent.

The people with means are not the problem. The people ripping them off are. They might even be your own parents.
Most of the attacks the last years were also targeting the enterprise auth apps that were heavily outdated (e.g. vasco token apps like "Auth ES" or "Enterprise Auth" etc). Lots of the breaches could've been prevented by just using a standardized (maintained) TOTP token generator that doesn't have an RCE backdoor with its included analytics scripts.

Using a token generator with embedded analytics was just wrong in the first place, but...yeah.

Personally I'd love to see better Wireguard support and adoption outside the Linux world.

That ignores defects, where chip design and things like market segmentation come into play. Defect in a flash chip is easily worked around, but how do you sell a M1 with a broken CPU core? No M.5 out there.

Hey, great for Nim. Though I hope they're not /too/ tied to z3. Why3 seems to be the standard SOTA tool for proof: it can harness lots of different SMT solvers (each with their strengths and weaknesses) including z3, cvc4, alt-ergo, but also specific solvers (grappa?). It is at the heart of Frama-C and Spark2014.

I also think that not having executable contracts by default (and defining whether you want them in your final program or not - see ghost code) is going to be a pain point in the future. I don't know nim enough to see if the syntax for provable properties is different from nim's ordinary syntax but I feel that it can also be a trap, to have your users learn yet another language for proof.

I'm hoping for the best here, and I must say, I'm quite happy to see other languages/environment jump in !

Some years ago you had only industrial support for Frama-C, Spark, and some academic success around JML? I don't know Eiffel's Eve enough to say whether I would consider it 'mature'. Nowadays with the work on Rust by Alastair Reid we're getting some new energy in the domain. Great!
I am of the idea that we need to focus on building new cities and more efficient roads to connect them. I don’t want to live in the Bay Area particularly, but when I have to go to SF, it sucks that sometimes it can take up to 2 hours to commute 30 miles.

As a software architect, it feels as if the common recipe for solving a scalability problem is decentralization for which you need an awesome messaging system. I do not get why we keep centralizing ourselves around the Bay Area. I am not an expert in the field so perhaps I am coming from a point of ignorance here, but I am genuinely curious as to why.

The USA built the most new cities and roads during the time it prospered, and it seems that we stopped doing that. Not long ago, Elon Musk was highlighting how fast China continues building infrastructures to satisfy the demands of their growing population, and I had noticed that too thanks to friends who have tons of awesome things to say about their visits. Why we don’t go that route? It seems like China is kicking our ass there.

Yes, obviously the CH should seize assets they’re entitled to. I think that you forgot we were talking about the case where they seize money they’re not entitled to. (Which is how we got to talking about the need to protect the client from that, and why the broker has to put up the extra collateral, and how “regulations” stop that money from being misappropriated but somehow not the client funds.)

I think we’re going in circles. And if I may give some unsolicited feedback, if I understood this topic as well as you’re claiming to, I probably would have given answers that avoided reaching that point. If I didn’t, I would have confessed as much, earlier in the thread, once I started giving your answers.
My experience with Ubuntu/Kubuntu is that Steam just works. I can always dual boot into Windows to play other games, but I prefer to stay in Linux.

I would also say, one would expect "alien" technology to progress over time. If you agreed with that, it's not inconceivable they would become more and and more difficult to observe as they observe us. You'd also have to think about distances and time passed, I'd imagine if you can travel with extreme competency in space, you're probably also able to use time in some interesting ways?

Of course, it's more likely that there are no alien probes visiting Earth.
One of the things they are considering is upgrading radar and other sensor processing to better track/identify this phenomena.
Common Lisp is a reasonably nice general purpose object-oriented language. It's big, but it's a smaller language than C++ while about as expressive, and quite efficient with a good compiler. There are a few real world applications in Lisp out there still. I saw an article about how Grammarly uses it for their grammar-checking service.

Small Lisps are sometimes used as an embedded or scripting language -- AutoCAD to Emacs. Not just old code, I saw a project using it as a scripting language for a game engine in Rust the other day. When the language is crafted to that kind of purpose, it's often a good fit.

Not to harp on like a CS prophet, but Lisp is basically a syntaxless language. '(It (can (be . maddening))) but the simplicity has its advantages. Ridiculously easy to implement (see niche scripting applications again) and you never get bogged down by syntax when coding. Just functions and data. It encourages a very meta style of programming, often where your program helps write itself at runtime.

Even if you aren't sold on Common Lisp being a good language for career advancement (I'm not either, honestly) I do think something in the Lisp family is probably worth learning for the same reason you should learn at least one assembly language in passing. A handful of basic primitives support every major approach to programming, if you structure them correctly. Makes you think about the problem differently.
Blogs about "return" inside "finally" in Java and the likes were common in the 2000s. The fact that languages have so many simple things like this that surprise people indicates that there is a problem somewhere. I'm sure some of the older school languages (like VB maybe) had some insane semantics like an interrupted return will return null, I can't remember them in that much detail.
I had the similar thought a little while ago (I called them nested commits): https://twitter.com/tolmasky/status/1212452048618131456?s=21

In my version, the nesting can be infinite of course (I guess the author here would call these "groups of groups" -- but that might be complicated with the flat approach of a group being a range of commits).

But basically, I want the UI of an entire "set of commits", but then a disclosure triangle to be able to see the "true history" if it's interesting to me. It is simply the case that sometimes one is more useful than the other, and other times the reverse is true. There simply isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. As far as most people are concerned, you only ever want to, for example, unroll the entire set if a test fails. Or, you want to cherry-pick the entire set to another branch. They serve as one logical unit. But if you for example care about the decision-making process that lead to that final code change, you can see it by revealing the "inner history".

The article makes it quite clear that there are issues affecting black Americans in particular which aren’t directly caused by individual poverty:

- living in a low-income neighborhood (many affluent black people live in lower-income black neighborhoods)

- job stress (in the same given job, black workers are more likely to be stressed than white workers)

- health problems (eg black people are more likely to have sleep apnea and more likely to be underserved for treatment)

So there are issues around policing, employment discrimination, and medical discrimination which have nothing to do with individual income.

I get that you have an axe to grind. But the headline is not clickbait and this isn’t manipulative. You just can’t help but attach your own ideological war to this article.

A quote from the article: “It was pretty shocking,” she said, “because I don’t think of high crime in San Francisco, especially in a touristy area.”

Every touristy part of SF -- Twin Peeks, Lands End, Hawk Hill, and on and on -- has signs warning that it's a "High Crime Area." These signs have existed forever. You'd have to be pretty ignorant of your surroundings to not know this fact.

The parent article doesn't seem to be trying to be a fully fleshed out survey of compressors, but I found a separate comparison of zstd and Brotli:

tldr: zstd seems to be somewhat more flexible, generally provides slightly better performance across almost all metrics, and decompresses much more quickly than Brotli.
Sounds like someone could simply recreate that experiment if they felt those variables had any bearing on the result.

With things like these I think it's helpful to look at what is being done, not just what is being said.

In line with the provisions of Senate Report 116-233, accompanying the IAA for FY 2021, the UAPTF’s long-term goal is to widen the scope of its work to include additional UAP events documented by a broader swath of USG personnel and technical systems in its analysis. As the dataset increases, the UAPTF’s ability to employ data analytics to detect trends will also improve. The initial focus will be to employ artificial intelligence/machine learning algorithms to cluster and recognize similarities and patterns in features of the data points.

Maybe leaning into the aliens angle a little bit is just a way to get funding for this type of thing. "AI surveillance grid" is probably a bit of a hard sell to congress without the added threat implications. That said, if it really is aliens, you'd probably want this same kind of technology all the same, so it doesn't strictly rule anything out. Overall I have to say I'm undecided for the moment, but it certainly is interesting.

If I'm going to speculate though, I think the most likely scenario is there is some really advanced capabilities in the US arsenal, and this is a pre-emptive measure to anticipate adversaries playing catch up. If you have craft that can do what is being asserted, or even just a healthy fraction of those capabilities, it really becomes an information and surveillance game.

> and more efficient roads.

The efficiency of roads is limited by the fact that the vehicles occupying them are large, individually piloted, and have slow reaction times.

Throughout is limited because, as cars go faster, they need to be spaced out more.

We have known this for seventy years. Automobile highways simply cannot work for ultra high throughput corridors.
