In that state, a significant amount of arrests, convictions and revenue from fines came from marijuana charges. Each conviction came with hundreds to thousands in fines.

Not only that, each conviction created busywork for probation officers, as low level offenders were given the option to have their record cleaned of their conviction if they went on probation programs where they are drug tested regularly. The probation program came with more fines/fees, as well. It also opened opportunities to keep people in the system, because violation of probation has its own penalties. Kids' parents have the incentive to push kids through this program and to pay for it, too.

There are those reasons, and then there's the simple fact that cops know they will have less to do if they can't arrest people for pot, which might be bad for job security. Losing "I smell marijuana" as a method for establishing probable cause was a big deal, as well.
Unless you are super special I can’t see a company waiting, in this case, up to 13 months for you to be able to work for them. Especially when it’s an “if” because lottery is always in place as the cap is reached every year.

Non state actors with fairly limited budgets seem to be able to get exploits all the time and fairly powerful ones at that.

It probably means that exploits are considerably less rare since there are multiple private exploit for hire vendors that target iPhones these days.
KiCad for design and JLCPCB or FusionPCB for manufacturing has been good enough for me to go from nothing to a completed board. Yes, gerber files are equivalent of “compiled binary” that you send to a PCB manufacturer to be printed.
Trust me, so do I. But when you're picking between "trendy Thai place" and "trendy bar down the street," the suggestion of McDonald's really sharpens people's metaphorical knives.
You could say that military investment into fusion and fission bombs was groundwork for everything done since. On the other hand, the fact that nuclear power started with bombs probably contributed to it falling out of favor and being regulated to irrelevance (even though hydrocarbons have been responsible for a lot more deaths and environmental damage).

Relocation is not in my priorities.

I've already worked in the EU as a developer without a degree. Not all countries require it if you have proven experience and a job offer.

I make enough money. It's all about personal development and opening doors to fields I'm interested in.

>why do you think your motivation will be greater here than when you self-studied through MOOCs and math?

I don't think it will be greater, but I won't know before I try.

Oh no, it can't afford to make superhero-themed stuff. We're doomed!

There's an important place for stuff that isn't easily-translated superhero-themed special effects blockbusters. Frankly, I view the dominance of those blockbusters to be more of a disease than an important trend that needs to be aped.

Front-running domains was a huge issue with registrars. Not sure sure if it still is. Registries were allowed a grace period to hold names without paying the ICANN fee, if they later released them, the idea being they might have been bought with a bad credit card etc so the registry would just let them go. No harm no foul, right?
No Echo Nest code was included in this project specifically, but my team owns a lot of the old Echo Nest systems, data, and audio magic (i.e.: what used to be the Remix API, audio features, audio analysis, etc.). Pedalboard is being used to continue a lot of the audio intelligence research that started way back with the Echo Nest!

(Fun fact: the Echo Nest's Remix API was what got me interested in writing code way back in high school. Now, more than a decade later, I'm the tech lead for the team that owns what's left of it. I still can't believe that sometimes.)
Yeah the whole article seems written by someone with a very poor understanding.
Thank you for making an account to attack a point that I did not make.

I did not say to do nothing. I said it will probably take a holistic approach. Holistic means look at the issue as a whole rather than trying to attack one symptom. A holistic approach would likely implement plenty of small partial solutions.

The article says that the LAPD is also using "Media Sonar" (https://mediasonar.com/) to provide basically Minority Report style "pre-crime" data. I guess it shouldn't be surprising that LA is most influenced by one of its own movies.
Interesting. I live in the upper midwest and remember my first home I lived in (parents built it new in 1980) had returns in every room. My current home is primarily forced air and there are returns in every room with multiples in the larger gathering spaces. Was built in the late 90s and I think building code may require a specific number of returns per square foot.
Dating myself a little, but LXC came along well before runc. It predates Docker, and was actually wrapped by the first versions of Docker. I learned about LXC, and used it, after doing some research on how to build my own PaaS at work (pre-Docker) and reading that Heroku was using LXC for their platform. It worked decently for me, but required more in-depth knowledge of all the knobs for disk mounts and networking than Docker typically requires.

You may be right that LXC has switched over to runc since then. I haven't kept up. I would be surprised though.
Counterpoint: If you are a member of an oppressed group and the leaders of your community punish people for calling you slurs, it makes it pretty obvious that they do, in fact, have your interests on their mind.

The point of federation is autonomy. Communities can decide on their own how they would like to conduct themselves, instead of having Steve Huffman or Mark Zuckerburg write the rules for them. Several alternative social media websites, including instances of Lemmy, have actually sprung up explicitly because of censorship they experienced on the hegemonic corporate platforms.

Hexbear for instance was born from the ashes of r/ChapoTrapHouse, one of the most active (per capita) communities on Reddit. The Reddit staff pulled the plug in the midst of a generational political crisis and mass civil unrest and didn't even have the nerve to cite a single, specific infraction. And now, the community is free to discuss subversive political topics without having to worry about advertiser boycotts applying pressure to have their community shut down.

This idea that free speech starts and ends with the ability to use slurs is among the most idiotic brainworms which persists among libertarians. Nobody in power gives a fuck if you spend your time spitting on people who have even less power than you do. They only care if you can articulate a political program which threatens their ability to rule.
At a minimum you'll be added to a watchlist as not being on FB makes you an outlier.
> NS cranked up rates so high that complaints from industry were a big factor

Maybe complaints from domain squatters. I wish domains still cost $100/year. Before that, you had to know Jon Postel to get one. If everyone can buy something for 50 cents then it doesn't have a whole lot of prestige anymore. If a domain costs 50 cents then all you're doing is attracting the sorts of people who only want to contribute 50 cents of value. What would have happened if that had been the government's policy during the western homesteading era? Expensive means the people who buy will be likely to use rather than squat. Expensive means you could get a good domain without having to buy from random guy. Expensive means people become more creative with the way they use domains. For example, I thought it was cool the way universities used to buy a single top-level domain, and then delegate sub-domain authority to departments, and they could delegate fourth level labels. That can't happen anymore because browser security policies evolved under the assumption that second level domains are cheap so it's no longer possible to have meaningful boundaries within a domain. So because of speculation we have a more fragile internet.
There's political organizations that advocate for police.

It would be an infringement of speech rights to prevent people from donating to them, at least as they are currently defined in the US.
Logo wasn't the first language I started with (that would be BASIC), but it is one I have many fond memories of from childhood. I used Logo later on to program microcontrollers used with Lego to build simple robots and machines. One of my proudest moments was building a functional prototype of a washing machine with selectable wash cycles. It allowed me to begin understanding many of the things which we find in the world that rely on small embedded electronics to function.

I wish there were programs like this for children these days in school. I know Scratch derived from Lego Logo and there's still things like Lego Mindstorm, but I don't think there are many common programs at least in the US to teach children programming and prototyping using these simple mechanisms.
There is an education variant of every windows version. Home education, pro education etc.
Maybe they were props if he wanted appear "smart with computers" to his peers.
No. If they had a real breakthrough, they wouldn't be selling it in a fitness wristband.

There are many "solid state battery" companies. Solid Power, QuantumScape, Ampicera, ProLogium. Toyota. ProLogium seems to be the only one actually shipping a battery, but the technology seems to be getting close to working. The next generation of batteries should not have the thermal runaway/catches fire if damaged problem.
And what would have done instead? Said 900 days to stop the spread? :-)
Hey, did you consider releasing a wrapper for VST instruments?

There's definitely a lack of cross platform VST host (without the need to use a DAW).

Also can Pedalboard support VST GUIs?
That isn't over the top at all. "Don't tell anyone your name or anything about you" is good advice for online. I think extremely carefully before I do post online under my real name. I think it's crazy that people don't.

IRL interactions are strongly bounded by geography and the frailty of human memory. Online isn't. The difference is scale and persistence. Our social intuitions aren't calibrated to it. It only takes one deranged person to ruin you, and that person might be on the other side of the planet, and might not even have been born yet.
Ooh, I didn't realize this had shipped. Off to refactor all my boilerplate into its own repo...
It is mentioned in the article.

"It says in your file that..." ... Uhh, hey, look at that, I think you are right, ...sure had me going there, LOL.

I really do hope they aren't "keeping a file on" me but I think I would definitely believe it was true, if they said it was so. I guess I'm easily conned. Generally trust authority.

That's a mistake!

> If running Nomad at scale is anything like Vault, then it isn't as simple as people make it out to be, never mind the fact that you'll probably be running 5 different clusters of 3 different products to provide functionality that doesn't fulfill half of what Kubernetes gives.

The complexity of setting up a Nomad cluster due to Vault and Consul being soft requirements is very real and something we're hoping to (finally!) make progress on in the coming months.

We can't even simulate all the organs in the body, let alone do it to the scale and depth needed to effectively sort out EVERY possibility for death. I would rather these billionaires pay their taxes to allow the NIH and other actually competent people in this field figure out how to build these models than continue to push overpriced vaporware that doesn't actually solve key health problems. If billionaires cared so much about being aging, they'd support local farmers and help in stopping food deserts across the country, especially as heart disease is the leading cause of death.

I don't like the politics though and I wouldn't want my tax money financing a news channel as I don't believe it can be "objective", let each political group finance their own propaganda themselves.

Purple air sells a turn key indoor air quality device for $200, is very reliable, also comes in a (clear) 3d printed case, comes with power supply. Not as DIY as this guy's solution, but with limited time on my hands the $100 was worth the cost of admission. It also works with Purple Air's map which provides nationwide air quality, temp and humidity, etc which is really nice.

It's worked flawlessly for me now for about five months. The light turns from green to yellow when I open the window in my south facing condo, but turns green again when I close the window and turn on the air filter. I was surprised at how bad the air quality gets when cooking food on the stove.
I use zero because of all the showstopping bugs and lack of any introspection or input validation. It saves me a lot of time and money.

The dream is to be able to take a software and yeet it into the cloud with minimal effort. That's not kubernetes at all.

That said, if your tooling or products or software supports kubernetes, which a lot more are these days, then it becomes a lot easier. A lot of companies these days are saying "Here's how to install it, or just grab this helm chart"; Gitlab, for example. We even had one piece of software we were testing which only had two options: cloud-hosted, or self-hosted on k8s. Nothing else was supported.

k8s doesn't seem to be any easier to configure, with the possible exception of microk8s (which has its own issues), but the amount of things you can do with it once it's up and running is compelling.
For a full featured "go generate(d)" ORM try https://entgo.io/

I personally use Docker Compose for homelab deployment. It handles internetworking dependencies, and with nginx-proxy + letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion you get automatic subdomain redirection and certificate renewal.

I will say that it's still a fair amount of complexity, but it's a workable amount of complexity on a day-to-day basis.
Perhaps -- I can't find their description behind the process and I'm now curious about the math behind it.

I think they would take a series of 0's and 1's..

0010001110100100011

...and map that into 0's and 1's based on the changes, not the numbers themselves. Maybe like 00 or 11 mapped to 0 and 10 or 01 mapped to 1? I can't recall.
What physical products, if any have you purchased with crypto?

I'm not doubting your touting of Web3, it's just....your description just sounds like you found a community of like minded people online. Those things have come and gone on the clear web many times. It's not something that's unique to Web 3.
That's not sustainable. You need millions to retire today. That's why people are working. Not to feed their ego like the poster suggests.
The connection is that they're highly controversial views from different groups. The professor is saying he was giving his students a chance to critically engage with various controversial ideas to sharpen their reasoning skills, and to get them used to dealing with views that might be quite contradictory to their own or to the mainstream.

I also explained why I agreed with the statement, explained why I felt that the straw man claim was spurious, and linked to an article that explained how I felt about the use of fallacies thus.
That's not accurate. There was an older project called podman-machine, which is long gone. What you get when you use the `podman machine` command is a completely new implementation.
Instruments wouldn't be that hard to add to Pedalboard, but we don't have a use case for them on my team just yet. I might give that a try in the future, or might let someone else in the community contribute that.

Tires don't fail often anymore. A blow out was a regular thing that happened to everyone once in a while, in that world everyone had a spare and knew how to change it. Today tires are a lot better (and last a lot longer), most tires make it to end of life with no problems. It thus doesn't make sense to dedicate volume and weight (read fuel mileage) to a spare tire that won't even be used. As such it doesn't make sense to have a spare or know how to change it, just let someone else do it.
That sounds awful for the morale of the juniors. Juniors should feel empowered to take their own initiative and find their own groove. Having trust put in me when I was a greenhorn made all the difference to my verve and drive at the company. The times where I was castigated and hounded over every little style choice made me loathe the company and the senior doing it.
While there do exist several alternatives to Docker Desktop, I am a fan of multipass. Something I don't see anyone talking about, the host to guest volume mounting performance can't be beat. The alternatives can't hold a candle to Docker Desktop's solution.

I need this volume mounting to get development code changes into the container in a reasonable time and the alternative performance feels like running on a standard hard drive compared to nvme ssd.
Yeah, for sure. "Picking someone up at the airport" also meant YOU would park somewhere, and then possibly even meet them AT THE GATE.

The other thing the airlines pushed in under the guise of "security" was insisting that everyone have photo ID matching their ticket name. Prior to that, they couldn't insist on this.

As a result, a secondary market for tickets existed. You'd see "for sale, male DFW to JFK" for such-and-such a flight in these forums -- which, of course, only existed because the airlines (then as now) charged EXTORTIONATE fees to change a ticket.

The airlines hated this, and so because "9/11" they pushed through the ID requirement and killed this market. Even though, it bears noting, that 100% of the 9/11 hijackers had valid ID.
it's been my experience that there's no such thing as a job that doesn't suck the fun and joy out of any aligned interest and hobby.

the bureaucratic bullshit, the HR bullshit, the "team building" exercises - i don't care if it's bowling or drinking alcohol, asshole managers, toxic co-workers, at-work politics in all it's wonderful forms.

i say this for large companies that pay well but treat you more like a number, for the small places that expect everything from you but treat you like family (at times), the startups, the regional companies, the tech companies, the non-tech companies, the customer facing roles, the backend roles.

it's all life sucking and life draining and there's no such thing, on a long enough time line (this is variable to people) that keeps it fulfilling. even changing it up all the time once oyu approach burn out.. .has it's breaking point where even that doesn't do shit for you.
