I think what's interesting for me is the lack of transparency on the system in use here and the guarantees that the data truly is being protected from alteration well. Losing data is common and should not be a big deal for a County sized office, muchless a Texas based one, yet somehow here we are.

https://regmedia.co.uk/2021/08/16/dallas_county_memo.pdf

Reading the actual memo, there's another interesting aspect on whatever "TechShare" is; a quick look suggests this is the site of the software in question[0], but there is absolutely no technical information available about it at all. Based on the blurbs, it looks like some project tracker but custom made for law enforcement, but again it's a complete black box as to what the software does, how it ensures data integrity, etc.

The memo is very specific about ensuring data gets uploaded to this TechShare, but this just makes me wonder "how does TechShare guarantee data integrity?", and I question if it really would have helped, but it's impossible to know because both the Dallas County's data processing methods and any information on TechShare are complete black boxes. This adds no value to security for them, and in fact probably just makes it worse as the software is never really audited nor are the IT practices.

Combined with the fact that this data-loss was not announced for 4 months after the fact and that cases that may have been affected by the data-loss (e.g., missing evidence), I come away with a very bad picture of law enforcement technology. I'm not sure why there isn't more publicly available scrutiny on the IT practices of law enforcement †, particularly when it comes to handling evidence/case data.

† As I'm very cynical of US law enforcement in general (many more of course, but right now focusing on US), my own answer for this is that it's intentionally done to obfuscate the process, but this is just the cynical and myopic part of me, which I want to separate from the rest of the post.
I see this tendency of solo projects a lot in developers. My experience has been quite the opposite, I started to get traction as entrepreneur after accepting the idea that I needed a team. My business sells b2b so maybe it is different, but companies are tired of automated SaaS sales funnels focused on “features”, they want competent people to talk to about their problems that are never just technical ones. I think the Enterprise tech market is very underserved at the moment, but I find it hard to believe you can approach b2b solo.

Rebol / Red also have a reader though in its terminology it could be called a "loader". See LOAD function - http://rebol.com/docs/words/wload.html
I will try to add v2 to that benchmark relatively soon - it is a lot faster than v1 and has a much lower memory footprint and faster initial load time :) Should probably combine it with a few pull requests to the benchmark itself - as I consider it pretty flawed (see another comment here).
Yeah I think the phrasing threw me off. There are taxes paid at the time of vesting of RSU's (vs options) but that is usually done by your employer before you even see the stock in your stock management accounts. The bigger and more ugly taxes come from selling off the stock.
This is really cool. I find myself generating cover images for social media for blog posts and then re-using the image and changing the text overlay often. I’ve done this manually in figma, and I’ve been hesitant to use other solutions because of the price. Your pricing is more aligned with small project needs/budgets, which is nice.
IMO, there have been two waves of social-democratically inspired politics: at the end of the 19th century, and after WW2. Once some complacency was reached, the policies were slowly being undone.

While West and North Europe have done so slower than the USA, there's been an undeniable tendency towards free market policies, favoring companies and capital and eroding worker's rights. The voters seem to agree: parties left of center have been in steady decline over the last decades. This is not purely driven by individual wealth, of course. Issues such as immigration and (more recently) climate change also play a role.

Garbage misinformation.

Myth #5: Lyme disease can have debilitating, lifelong effects.

Fact: When treated with antibiotics, Lyme disease, at any stage of presentation, is curable.

The fact provided in response assumes that people are getting antibiotic treatment, which is not always the case. If you go untreated, then you can have lifelong debilitating effects. I don't think even the author of the article would dispute that. So why is the author using weaselly arguments to imply that you can't? Seems like an attempt to confirm a biased judgement.
So, 14%, 15% and 20% for 2009, 2010 and 2011 were committed by NATO troops? That's terrible, especially considering the Taliban aren't known for their great human rights record.
Most may be too far, but I also see a bunch of postings that a cull is needed to slow the spread of CWD.
I don't own very many clothes at all. I don't understand fashion and I find it frustrating to find things that fit and are comfortable, so I keep the rare things I find acceptable around for a long time.

But let's get something straight: I rarely look good.
We're already there.

The reMarkable (by reports) and Onyx BOOX (by direct experience) both satisfy this requirement.

I picked up the BOOX as an e-book reader, not a note-taking device. It turns out that the note-taking functionality is really, really good.

I still have the objection that notes are stuck in an application-specific interface. Though on balance that's not all bad.

There's also the inherent privacy risk of having an electronic rather than physical record.
Capitalization is part of orthography, not grammar.
I seem to recall there being some activity around creating certain 'dances' etc. for it to perform. Though I can't remember how "offical" or "open" it was. Knowing Sony's MO at the time, probably not that much.

Also, everything had to be stored on the Sony Memory Sticks. (And I seem to remember they too had to be a special type. Not 'Duo' though.)

Agreed, but per my original post, the additional safety that Rust affords protects against a very small share of bugs in SaaS applications. The value proposition isn’t good because you trade so much productivity for a small improvement in quality, and productivity is at a premium and quality (sadly) can be mitigated in other, less costly ways (e.g., progressively rolling out new changes, continuous deployment i.e., bugs can be patched in hours rather than months, etc).
Ditto for Rebol & Red.

For eg.

>> code: load "foreach n [1 2 3 4] [print n * 2]"
== [foreach n [1 2 3 4] [print n * 2]
]

>> type? code
== block!

I always thought Elixir and Vue are both fantastic tools with high quality documentation that not only show you how to do what, but also the context of why you do things a certain way, pitfalls, etc.

Search for "should I use first person on resume", the articles will explain a bit. One reason is brevity - we want to use as few words as possible.

The other is redundancy - if we use "I", chances are almost every sentence will begin with "I". I did this, I did that.

I think the key thing is that it disproves the idea that the bacteria which cause the disease are reliably eliminated by antibiotics, which is typically a key point that those in the "it's not cause by lyme" camp rely on.

Doesn't prove that it is lyme, but it shifts the balance of probablities considerably.
There is some discussion of sparse checkouts and 'cone mode' lower down in the article. Proper support for these is the replacement for LFS.

LFS is a hack and a workaround for the fact that git ships the whole thing and requires you to have every copy of every blob from the whole of history.

LFS cheats this by storing the big blobs elsewhere and only fetching the ones needed for your checkout. It's a giant pain as everyone knows because you've got two sources of data. Instead lots of work is being done on git to remove the "every copy of every blob" requirement. This is in 2 dimensions - only some specified depth of history, and only some subset of the checkout (LFS only helps with the first). Effectively you still only end up fetching the blobs you need from the server for the checkout you're doing. That gets the same benefit of LFS but all in core git.

I don't think it's just the syntax that's a roadblock - Clojure is not intended to be extensible in that way. For better or worse, it has batteries included and is highly opinionated.

From that perspective, including parens in let just to enable some hypothetical extension makes no sense.
In my opinion they should have pushed for D instead of Go. It’s leagues better as a systems language if you can tolerate GC or if you can’t you just don’t use the GC.
Canada had a more or less total stop to immigration until recently, and despite that Toronto managed to have another crazy housing rally earlier this year before vaccines were widely available. Before that, the 15% Non‑Resident Speculation Tax caused a brief scare until the market realized that it can rally just fine with bona-fide residents.

I'm not buying the "wealthy foreigner as the main culprit" story. Surely they add to the existing demand and it's always nice to have an external scapegoat, but there's clearly something bigger going on than just foreigners. I'm thinking continued difficulties to build housing without going through multi-year permit processes, most of the city still being NIMBY'd into low-rise SFH zoning, and the sizeable number of millenials both getting wealthy enough to buy into housing as well as getting FOMO from continued price appreciations.

But it's always nice to have a plausible explanation for why the innocent locals aren't at fault.
I find the general concept of a business model where you buy unknown items and hope they end up covering your costs pretty interesting. I think jade works in a very similar way - the mine produces boulders of unknown quality, and middlemen buy them on the theory that there's probably good jade in some of them.
Most CDC / IDSA folks will tell you that a course of antibiotics will rid the body of Lyme in all cases. The presence of spirochetes here should be enough for them to stop using that language. But it likely won't because there appears to be a systemic organizational bias against Lyme as a chronic condition, and I'm not sure why.
Funny enough, It was 1996 or 1997 that I played the game and we had cable at home as well as two computers side by side.

But the same problem kind of existed: there really wasn't some quick access reference to the game, so we didn't think to just look stuff up.

And I think that was a lot of the magic. I still remember a moment where we hit the wrong key at a specific time and we got a warning BEEP and the text, "You are moving too fast to board this ship." "YOU CAN BOARD SHIPS?!"

Finalizers aren’t quite the same. They run when memory pressure exceeds some threshold, but the GC analog for borrow-checking is something that will clean up a resource when the pressure on the resource in question exceeds some threshold (e.g., file handles). And even then I’m not sure if that ticks all requirements for resource management.
I upvoted you to combat your downvote because your initial paragraphs was a very reasonable description of the journey of a lot of hobby projects and its unreasonable to expect alpha apps (built using a GUI FX in active development) racing to get out an MVP is going to have accessibility nailed out of the gate.

Your last paragraph for a magic screen reader is that it simply doesn't exist, so in its absence you need to use a GUI FX that supports accessibility for it to be accessible. If all the screen reader can see is a rendered bitmap they're not going to be able to identify what's a UI control or how to interact with it, which group of pixels is decorative and which is functional or how it will be able to determine the difference between a real App and a screenshot of it? With the recent real-time AI powering "copy text from image" maybe a generic reader is going to be more advanced than what's historically been possible.

But I don't really know how screen readers work, I'm assuming they need to work in tandem with GUI FX's which is able to describe the purpose and roles of its different UI elements, so if you use native OS controls it's going to be able to know how to inspect different controls of running Apps and how to send events to them.
Regarding "missing" a collision due to the delta-time being too large, I thought the game industry standard is to "backtrack" (in math, not in ticks) to determine the correct collision point and go from there. Granted, that is a bit more complicated than just keeping the delta-t/tick consistently small, but it is more correct.
Perhaps, if it is actual ownership and not the fake modern ownership that gives you the downsides but not the upsides. Whenever I hear that term I get reminded of the discussion from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21550975:

> Jordanpomeroy on Nov 16, 2019

> I find ownership to be motivating. Good leaders inspire me to own results, but also empower me to own the “how”. When I do not own the method of obtaining success, I do not feel like I truly am responsible for success. The truth is, with more complex work, good leaders realize they’re at the mercy of those that do the work, because of the complexity only the people actually doing the work have complete understanding of the system. Therefore, the best card to play is to be very clear about the desired outcome, including the whole strategy and context behind it, and hope the team owns it all.

> It's funny how carefully you're stepping around financially rewarding people who do the work. It's like you know your status does not allow you to own the money generated, so you're settling for owning the results, the process, the method, the responsibility, the all. You are weak.

A bit harsh towards the end perhaps, but paulriddle does make a valid point on actual vs fake ownership.
Very good news. I have known many people that have died of the virus.

AIDS is a tough one. It has a shifting antigen. If anyone remembers Stephen King's The Stand, that was the premise for Captain Trips.

Whereas the “computer's way” was basically set by some people in Microsoft who'd never heard of the organisation and likely weren't even thinking about what it does, because that's not what they were making the software to do.

for the record I've got a son who is going on three now and I'm finding the developmental aspect fascinating. my wife is also studying some childhood development atm. I assumed he'll run
risks of being my "problematically gifted" given his parents :P But i have a very skeptical mind, it pays the bills.

I've observed in my research (and in real life) many various impressive renditions of what i call "stupid toddler tricks". i saw a 1 year old count to 20. my own kids take books to bed at 2 and "reads" them to himself.

could the kid do math? could my kid read? No. of course not. you probe a little bit deeper and all the trappings of what we adults call cognisance fall away. the one year old has no idea what they were reciting. my kid repeats (albeit poorly) what he heard us say when . "reading",but a little bit of digging reveals the limits of his comprehension. kids use the pictures and other hints hints as cues, they're (the clever bastards),they have a brilliant verbal/aural ability at such an age, and they can have some kind of basic symbolic ability and rote repetition. And you
can get them to do amazing things if you record them doing the trick but don't dig any deeper into their mental processes.

I'm guessing that people who are downvoting don't understand child mental development, have a vastly simpler definition of reading than myself, or don't understand how many layers of development are required to arrive at actual reading that have to be passed first. i do think you could quickly show such a trick to a well meaning person and get the legend started however...

Sample size of just me, but I’ve done some volunteering before and the amount of clothes that people donate is huge. But the chance of people in need actually wearing what was donated was small.

The guidance that my group was given was essentially, if it couldn’t be worn to a job interview or a religious service (think men’s chinos and a button up shirt, women nicer pants/skirt and good quality blouse), then throw it away. So I am not surprised.

The Census was conducted for 2020 - how many have fled in light of the egregious lockdowns?
I read your comment and agree. Without thinking it through, it seems that if every program provided a full CLI and a sitemap like file, then a screenreader should be able to integrate with said program.

I don't know much about the accessibility business, but my impression is that the screenreaders are all very expensive. Maybe providing a universal interface as described would level the playing field, maybe that's not desired (by the big brands).
Something is stopping them: all the old devices that already know how to speak Spotify.

Spotify is built on bringing your music library with you everywhere. If your car or five year old stereo stops being able to play spotify songs, why would you still pay for a Premium account? 2% loss doesn't sound like much, but at Spotify's scale, that would mean loosing 2 million paying customers. If they pay $5 /month, that's not pocket change.
> I bet you also said “3 weeks to flatten the curve!”

No, if you check my comment history you will see that I said something along the lines of don't flatten the curve, kill it with longer, harsher lockdowns. Just search for my top downvoted posts. I still maintain that stance, two months of harsh worldwide lockdowns would have killed the spread completely and we would have been completely opened by the middle of last summer. Australia almost managed it alone, and a bit more of the world joining them could have.
