You are right: Having watched the "don't talk to the police" video over a half dozen times, I unwillingly volunteered information to a cop when in the moment. It's really hard to put into practice when someone domineering and armed is implicitly threatening you with arrest/violence for not doing precisely what they want you to do.

I actually rehearse now, because police in the USA are so corrupt and unreliable.

Something along the lines of "I know you are just doing your job, but, respectfully, I must consult with my attorney before answering any questions."

Then (to their dismay and annoyance) I repeat the exact same thing over and over again when they inevitably ask me other, follow up questions, trying to work around my initial refusal. (It's so disrespectful, as well as illegal, for them to keep going at that point.)

This is probably a silly question, but she not just give the cash value of a gift card instead of a gift card itself? I've heard from people who work in HR that gift cards given to employees are still taxable as income for the value as if it were cash, but maybe that's changed or just a conservative interpretation of IRS guidelines.

Well, most people have massive change aversion. So, it may well be that this redesign is rubbish. Or that it is great.

Great analysis. If anything, the thing that has taken away from that final episode is that people have been pestering Chase about it without stop. So much so, that in later interviews he has implied more detail about what happened, diminishing some of the impact and the mystery. Perhaps just through shear fatigue at having to explain his art.

Still, though, this piece reinforces what a master stroke that episode was, to the point that we're still talking about it.

My worst interview was for chief technical architect for a small software house.

I was asked to write a parser which could transform a simple data format into another.

I asked whether they were looking for a fast solution, or a better one? I was told it had to be fast and better.

Thinking I hadn't explained myself very well, I asked again, are you measuring how fast I can give you a solution, or are you looking for quality. I could do either. Again, I was told it had to be high quality and fast to produce.

I took the middle ground, and wrote something in a couple of hours that did everything they wanted, and was extensible to new formats, using a variety of OO techniques.

I failed the test because I hadn't used a standard library component that could be coaxed into doing that they wanted. I clearly didn't grasp the awesome power and reusability of object orientation!

Regardless of your opinion on piracy, I think Google (and ISPs) should not moderate search results.

Basically, search engines are used to find things publicly available on the internet, policing should be done on the actual hosts of the content.

Same goes for ISPs, they are here to provide access to publicly available computers, without interfering with the content or accessibility.
That is nice, but they started to use the extension in 2010, when java had been using it for over a decade already. Sadly applications relying on the file extension alone as file type indication are still common so that was a rather big oversight.

What would seem most useful would be a compile-time-typed language (perhaps with some inference propagation, for convenience) that existing Nix code could be translated into, maybe even while emulating execution to discover the actual types to annotate with. You have the advantage that all existing production Nix code is known to terminate in short order.

Then, you could generate a new version of the entire 30,000-strong package collection automatically, with the new language swapped in in place of the Nix code, which could then be abandoned.
I worked at AWS Systems Manager, which has a hybrid on-prem solution that lets you integrate non-aws resources into the IAM/HOSM world (sometimes just called Managed Instances). There was a bit of pushback internally around what kind of play we were allowed to make in the on-prem/hybrid space, and eventually the product just got KTLO'd. Kind of a shame, it was neat.
Like I said, I don't try to convince people to buy Bitcoin, because I remember how I used to respond to people talking about it.

I would mock them, call it a ponzi scheme, call them shills, etc.

I think Satoshi did it right. He said -

> If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.

He said this when Bitoin was still extremely niche and inexpensive.

But because you asked, I'm going to tell you what the personal event taught me - people are irrational.

The path from protecting property to protecting lives might be shorter than one wants to believe. People usually are not destroying property of others because its moral compared to taking lives, they do so because they left the morals of our society behind in the first place.

Had the victim not defended himself the offender could still offend today. I don't understand this victim-blaming, I really don't. If I see a guy with a rifle protecting his property, somehow its his fault I get shot after I charge at him?
You are making a categorically, and objectively false, equivalence. But I suspect you know that.

If your job requires interacting with other people, then your not being vaccinated directly risks the health and life of those people. You don't get to say "it's my choice to intentionally risk harm to others" and then say "it's illegal to stop me from doing that".

For example, no one is required to be licensed as a doctor, but you don't get to do surgery on people if you aren't licensed.

Totally agree, but the net misrepresentation, or strong editorialization from Cable News may actually be more damaging that the perverse stuff on Reddit.

Watching the Kyle Rittenhouse coverage, pre-trial, from Fox and MSNBC was like watching the Soviets and Americans combat each other with propaganda.

Actually watching the trial and the information as it came out felt truly enlightening.

My view is that the press 'narratives', even if they technically 'do not lie' (i.e. standards) are more damaging than for example, QAnon or Flat Earth.

We are being told what to believe and I think this has a much stronger effect than we realize, because it even works on people who are pretty smart. Self Awareness takes effort to accept that there is bias, to really open one's mind, to search for uncomfortable facts, to accept them at face value, and then to think about it outside the concept of some accepted ideology or worldview, and the social/group pressures that apply. It's just too easy to be influenced by talking heads.

You're working on old research. All newer research points to no correlation. Even worse, all attempts to reduce CVD by reducing blood cholesterol have completely failed as well, in several large scale clinically controlled trials.

Here is an example of such a modern study:

a) he never threatened anyone. In fact, he demonstrated better gun safety than, say, a Hollywood actor/producer 3 times his age.

Your examples are, in my opinion, poorly chosen - the only ones of relevance are the seatbelt and the smoking ones, since those actually can harm others. And in these cases, there have been laws put in place to limit other people's exposure to this danger, like seatbelt driving laws and smoke free areas.

What lies where there? The only point that I saw until now was the correlation of positive tests within 28 days that another commenter pointed out, but I don't know if that's directly a lie. Can you name one that specially bugs you?

I don't see why you refuse to call vaccines a science effort - it is wholly backed by decades of research when you consider the mRNA transport mechanism (and not the payload itself, I agree here).

In amateur astrophotography there’s a few Raspberry Pi based automation rigs which retail for a few hundred dollars (e.g. ASIAIR). This is a case where cheap x86 SBCs are a much better option because they give you access to the vast suites of Windows based astrophotography software available, lately particularly N.I.N.A. I even just came across a video where someone else came to the same conclusion and went into good depth on it. [1]

The MeLe Quieter 2 [2] is a similar form factor to little ARM SBCs, is passively cooled, is a couple hundred dollars, and includes Win10Pro. For that you get a quad core 2Ghz+ 14nm processor, 8GB ram, and 128GB eMMC.

They were only testing with AddressSanitizer, not running the built binaries with it? Doing so is slow to say the least, but you can run programs normally with these runtime assertions.

This is exactly what concerns me about copilot. Reducing the barrier to writing boilerplate will make sure a lot more of it is written. Copilot will probably have a tendency to balloon SLOC as its autocomplete means adding an extra 35 lines is just a click away.

Of course not everybody will use it this way and responsibly used it'll be fine yadda yadda yadda but it is going to shape developer behavior - most especially for developers being a bit lazy (which is all of us sometimes and some of us all of the time).

Also, SLOC implies productivity, which will put a damper on people's reluctance to just add those 35 lines.

Somebody is going to have to dig through all of that code one day looking for obscure bugs. I suspect difficulty in finding bugs is correlated to the square of SLOC (as opposed to writing which is probably closer to linear) so on the other end of the code lifecycle copilot could end up being a masssive false economy.

This could be mitigated by extra vigilant code reviews but I've noticed that vigiliance in code reviews is inversely correlated to PR length (theres a cartoon about this somewhere), so I'm slightly pessimistic it'll stem the boilerplate tsunami.
Reminded me of one of Ben Krasnow's videos where he ran a hydraulic cylinder out of spec and caused it to bulge noticeably. Um, dude, there's probably a few sticks of dynamite worth of energy in that thing, you know...
If you are writing tests to check new code in tandem with writing that code (either via TDD, or some other code-test loop), or are writing tests for existing code, you can (and usually will) find and fix bugs. Likewise if you are investigating a problem and write one or more test cases to check the behaviour.

Once those tests have been written, then they act as regression tests like the parent comment notes.

On "unit tests", I view the behaviour of the class/function and all its dependencies as a single unit for the purpose of testing. I've never liked the idea of needing to mock out a class in order to test another class, just because the class being tested makes use of it. The only case where mocks/stubs/etc. should be used is when interacting with an external component like a database or HTTP API. -- You don't see people that do this mocking out a list, string or other library classes, so why should project classes be any different.
