Perhaps your cat (which presumably has a gender) is living in an emotional desert.

Cats have different behaviours, but mine (born feral, now very domestic) greets me in the morning, yells for his breakfast, chomps down a few mouthfuls, hops on my lap for a quick fondle, then resumes his breakfast. Afterwards, more cuddles, some dashing about, then he snoozes in a fixed sequence of spots during the day, interrupting his sleeps to join me for lunch. He comes and yells at me around the time I should be knocking off work.

Try assuming there's more going on emotionally in your cat's head - you might both benefit from it!
This is on the front page of Reddit as I type this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/facepalm/comments/thuy4h/the_cop_li...

Looking at this video, is the filming person in the car more than eight feet away from all of the involved police at all times? Because there are cops coming and going, and if one of them approached the car, the filming person would be compelled to either stop recording or get out the other side of the car.

Laws like this are built for abuse. On the face of it, the law is reasonable, if mildly pointless. In practice, it relies on a very specific distance being maintained at all times, even if one of the cops decides to approach the cameraman, and relies on the police to estimate that eight feet in good faith.

This is going to lead to a lot of arrests and a lot of dismissed charges, but the net result will be a general chilling effect on recording police, because there are just too many things that can go wrong and run you afoul of this law.
These two ideas:

1) It's so hard to find qualified developer.

2) Our hiring candidate-wall is not high enough. There are too many applications.

Are non-conflicting in HRs heads.
> But if you're inside 8ft it feels you're just interfering.

No, that's not what the law says. It says within 8 feet with a camera.

Also, what is that 8' from? Every single officer? What if you are filming from a dozen feet away and the officer's partner approaches from the side unbeknownst to you? Now are you within 8 feet?

It's clear the goal of the law isn't safety. The law does nothing to discourage me from getting closer than 8 feet. And if there is, then this law is useless. The only reason this law exists is to discourage people from recording police.

You have to explain to me why someone holding a camera 8 feet away is dangerous, but someone closer than 8 feet and not holding a camera isn't dangerous.
Of course, you can do whatever you like, but so far everyone who has thrown up such protest over this has done so by literally writing out definitions to show how hard it would be :-/
I found the game easy in an urban area where I've lived for only three years, but impossible in the rural area where I grew up. It seems to pick main roads in urban areas but in rural areas I get random side roads and cul-de-sacs. The circle should be much bigger in rural areas because people typically drive longer distances. Most of the roads I actually used were outside the circle.
The owners of money get to decide when they are paid and how much, if they prefer these low interest rates, then why would you care? It's not like it matters.

When interest rates are negative, you are basically in the sandbox part of a developed society. You already have everything, everything you do afterwards is as pointless as existence and the universe. Who cares? Artists don't care.

You know what interest rates also do? Higher interest rates punish longevity as future income is discounted, meanwhile lower interest rates promote longevity as future income is no longer discounted.

It's the opposite. Once there is less incentive to rush to completion, interest rates go down. If you are about to starve tomorrow, you must rush, interest rates are high because you are willing to borrow for food. If you have enough food to last a year, you won't borrow, you would prefer that it lasted 5 years instead.
Dunno about the merits of this, but it does seem to be part of the overall effort to rethink how to organize large groups of people working together. With the internet we can afford peer-to-peer communication, and we don't have to organize into hierarchies. But we can't just do full-mesh communication either, because that's overwhelming to individuals, as anyone who lived through the initial slack-and-zoom remote work of early 2020 can tell you. (Though lots of people are still living through it, unfortunately)

So what kind of communication structures are good, and in what circumstances? How do we structure work so that we don't have to communicate about everything? When do we fall back to ad-hoc video chat or even in-person meetings? These are the kinds of questions that 21st-century management has to answer. It's fascinating to watch people grapple with them.
...those people are doing a lot more than, "just video recording police."
Thank you, that makes sense. I’m leaning towards the Mini after your comment :)
Physics in a diverse world, or a spherical cow model of physics talent
I was part of the GPU handheld IP group within AMD that was acquired by Qualcomm and remained in Qualcomm for several years after the acquisition.

You are correct about the Adreno 200 being a trimmed down version of the Xenos GPU from the XBox 360. That shipped before the acquisition by Qualcomm.

However, I can also confirm that the GP is right: Adreno 300, which is the first product that we shipped after the acquisition, combined the fixed-function blocks from AMD with the programmable shader processor (SP) from Qualcomm. That SP had a prececessor (QShader) which had never shipped commercially.

Overall, I think it is inaccurate to say that Adreno is basically AMD's IP. It was the combination of both teams, plus the people who had been previously acquired from Bitboys. This amalgamation of people led to a ton of internal conflict, eventually leading to the closure of the offices staffed by Bitboys and the departure of a bunch of other senior people.

Things are way better these days, or so I hear.
So basically, because a cop can lie about you breaking the law, the law should not exist?

Isn't that the case with obstruction as-is?
This is how eugenics happens
That's the beauty tho, an optional difficulty mode lets people pick and choose. For instance in GT5 which has the 3 fails and skip mode, I can choose to try again, or I can chose to move the story forward, it's my choice. This fixes massive difficulty spikes and smooths out other parts of the game. So you can have it either way. It doesn't in any way remove your choice to have the "pure" experience, or mine to get 95% of your experience out of the game.

I think I skipped one mission in GT5 (yoga) and about 5 in GTH2 (the cuba stealth missions that were broken). My brother played along side me and is not an experienced gamer, he would skip the parts that required constant fast aiming, but played the rest. It worked well for both of us.

As a note, Sony had an internal stat a while back, only 10% of people ever finish any game, only 30% make it past the first 3rd... This was for people who purchased the game. This wasn't an average across all titles, this was very consistent for most titles. This was measured with trophies. People fell off very obviously at each boss or challenge increase. If you're making an "Authorial experience" this type of gate keeping will keep most people from experiencing it that would have otherwise.
How can someone know if they're interested or not in an implementation of BGP if they don't know what it is?

I have been a professional software developer for 22 years with a 4 year CS degree from a good school, and I only ever heard of BGP for the first time last year. Most developers never need to know about BGP. People learn new stuff every day.

The point stands. Define your acronyms unless they're really really basic, like HTTP or JSON.
It's almost tradition at this point for older distros to have misleading/inaccurate GUI for NetworkManager...
That's brilliant! Kudos!
I never called them 8 bit images. I wrote 8 bits per channel. Each of RGB are channels. An RGBA image has 4 channels. A grayscale image has one channel. This is standard terminology. So an 8 bits per channel image with three channels is a 24 but image.

It is very precise terminology, used correctly. It's also covered in your links; you can read it there.

Now, if you encode gray levels in RGB, at 8 bits per channel, you do indeed end up with only 256 gray levels in the image, because for each pixel, R=G=B.

Glad you noted this. I was reading it thinking odd that it made no mention of Swift and it’s recent implementation.
Are you aware of any case studies / examples of applying structured concurrency to a nontrivial codebase, which illustrates the benefits and drawbacks of the approach?

It'd be great to see before & after comparisons of taking a codebase written without structured concurrency, and porting it to use structured concurrency constructs, then seeing the differences in terms of runtime overhead, number of weird defects in one implementation but not in the other, lines of code spent, etc.

It'd also be interesting to know if all of the behaviour that was expressed in the original structureless concurrency code could be ported across to structured concurrency, or if it was still necessary to use structureless concurrency in a few places as the corresponding behaviour was not expressible.

Appreciate getting a good case study might be challenging --- I've been exposed to oldschool fortran numerical code written in a pre-structured-programming style with heavy use of global variables and gotos, trying to port that across to use structured constructs and local variables can be a large amount of effort.
Unfortunately my memories of Qualcomm devices and technologies are a bit less fond.

At least when I was using Android devices, their CPU and GPU performance was always lagging, sometimes quite heavily, behind competitors. As far as I know, the main selling point was always the baseband part of their SoC designs, not the application processor. (Having both in a single SoC supposedly can save a lot of power and definitely does save money in many low and mid range phone designs.)

Their proprietary CDMA standards have been a source of frustration as a GSM phone user when traveling to some countries (although CDMA at the time seemed very innovative and was available before UMTS) as well.
Correct, though it is new in the sense of this conversation, which compares to how a search used to be.

The point wasn't as to what the synonyms were for a specific search term but that they have been added as implicit terms, which makes google search no longer exact.
I've had the opposite experience, and everything just works once you install the suggested extensions.

For C++ specifically you just need to create a .vscode/c_cpp_properties.json file to tell the intellisense where to find include folders, which defines to assume, and such.

Metaverse is a collective delusion of Facebook execs who got high on their own supply.

Catch-22. You should only film them if you're in danger, & you're not in danger if they're being filmed, but if you're filming then you're not in danger, so you shouldn't film them, but then you feel in danger because they won't let you film, so then you can film, but now you're not in danger, so you can't film

A) I don't consider the Feynman lectures a "standard textbook." I don't think there exists any university that uses them as the primary reference in their quantum course. They're fine, as far as they go, but I think modern pedagogy is better.

Concerning Griffiths, what do you feel it lacks? You've got the hydrogen atom, fermions, bosons, helium, and probably more stuff that I'm forgetting right now. What else would you stick in an intro course? Hartree-Fock?

B) Decoherence doesn't solve the measurement problem. Even the decoherence boosters admit this. See, for example, Adler's paper on this: https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0112095.

This isn't to say the decoherence program isn't important. I think it is. It just hasn't solved the measurement problem.

What about the freedom you're denying your child by excluding them from social interactions due to your mistaken puritanical attempts to 'protect' them by home schooling?

I mean, there is no justification. You're actually harming your child. Sure, maybe you're a better maths teacher than the one in the school, but school isn't really about learning such nonsense..
Any self-proclaimed bioethics "expert" in the morality of this field has no more context on the ethics than you would have after an afternoon of browsing wikipedia and thinking about it carefully.

I suspect the implication here is that this was done because the initial attack took longer than the expected three days of easy haul. It was a reaction meant to send a message, but I don't know, such a thing should probably have been clarified by the author.
Because for a lot of people, germline editing is the genie in the bottle.

Specifically once it becomes accepted for morally justifiable things, like curing horrible genetic diseases, it will quickly start being used to alter non life threatening things.

And we will quickly find ourselves in a world where parents are able to alter the future children's height, intelligence, muscle mass, sex, race, sexual preference (These are purposefully extreme examples that are likely many decades away from being possible).
But in terms of why there is moral outrage, those are the sorts of things people are concerned about.

I would say that from the reading I have done, the concern that it might be done improperly and accidentally cause negative mutations harming the child is more of a practical one (we don't understand the genetic processes well enough to perform the editing safely yet), rather than the moral one outlined above.
Because of the law on unintended consequences, not to mention the Rubicon that will be crossed when the rich start editing further advantages into the genes of their (already hyper privileged) kids.

It is a recipe for a medical or social disaster. Perhaps both.
Even more depressing than "The 20 million lines problem" - because the gist of the talk is that programming with more than one person is doomed to fail, and programming with less than two is even worse.
It’s great how scriptable it is. E.g. it’s relatively easy to use it with kubectl to to browse and inspect k8s resources.

Any command where you might be generating a long list of items you then want to select from can probably benefit from being piped into fzf.
I don't think they would mean that much when things get personal. Ie you want to have kids but genetic heart disease runs in your family. The risk for down syndrome is 5x the average. And so on.

Or if you are a parent and your child is actually affected, you will go to great lengths to do practically anything possible for him/her. Becoming parent changes everybody.

Your priorities will be very different from say 20-something childless person in such a case.

All that being said, what the guy actually did doesn't make much sense. HIV isn't top priority concern for anybody apart from poorest parts of Africa. You can protect against catching it pretty effectively. But yeah pandora box and all that.

I don't agree with the premise that every tool is appropriate and I struggle to believe you do either. If your boss told you that you need to work unpaid until further notice because they're donating everyone's salary to Ukraine, you wouldn't object to that? You wouldn't have concerns if you came home one day to find your stuff on the curb because your landlord wanted to make room for refugees? A lot of tools are appropriate that wouldn't be appropriate for most international disputes, but when you're fortunate enough to not be in the warzone, you can't go crazy and start smashing random people's root directories.
If you don’t know what BGP is you probably don’t need to know about it . It’s only really needed for configuring large networks.

That is a total straw man. The argument is that as a society we permit people to do lots of things to their children that have far greater ramifications that this gene editing. It is there for inconsistent to get upset about gene editing but not these other things.
I didn’t tell you that. The whole point of my comment was that you should take another look at what you’re calling “grind”, because there’s more to it.

Look, you complained about gatekeeping, and about the community. This is a bona fide attempt from someone in the community to ask you to set aside your preconceptions and take another look at what the game is trying to say.

If it doesn’t gel with you, well then maybe it really just isn’t for you - and that’s fine. Not every game is for every person. But changing a bunch of difficulty sliders isn’t going to fix that.
That's just it though - I feel you too, like myself, and possibly most of us here, are enraged / commenting before actually reading article,let alone the law. Second paragraph addresses the car scenario explicitly. Other portions address you being subject of police attention, as well as close quarters etc.

I'm not saying I'm hugely FOR the law. I'd rather it weren't. But I've cooled down significantly between reading title and comments, vs then actually reading article and skimming the law.

My 2 year old lab recently gave birth. Before doing so she would constantly "dig" on the floor of the house, like a compulsion. Didn't damage the floor, but she just kept going and going. I figure it's some kind of nesting thing where maybe they'd make a hole to lie in if they were in the wild.
