Again, at one point you have to assume either basic knowledge or at least basic knowledge about how to search for things, otherwise everything would be very verbose.

Take one of your repositories as an example: https://github.com/timraymond/pricegrabber

> A gem for interacting with the Pricegrabber API

Should you have to add "Application Programming Interface (API)" the first time you use "API" anywhere? Realistically no, because the audience can be assumed to understand what it means. If they don't, it's only a search away.

Same goes for networking and DNS/BGP/CNAME and more. If you're using a library/server for BGP, you either know what those terms are, or know how to find out more.

But not all resources are meant for beginning who don't know the basic terms in a field, and that's OK, because otherwise everything would be extremely verbose when it doesn't have to.
Confluence also has a default-deny policy on editing, which I think is crazy especially in an internal enterprise context. If one of your employees is vandalizing wiki pages then you can see their name in the change history and fire them. Prior restraint makes no sense.

What's challenging about it? Go gives you control over the layout of your objects in memory.
I also never had an issue with Ubuntu on Raspberry Pi. They even provide packages to update the EEPROM.

But it doesn’t surprise me that it just works since Ubuntu is a commercial distro. They even sell products for the Raspberry Pi version.
Yeah, I have a strong dislike for DS2. It's not even that bad a game, I would probably enjoy if it didn't have the Dark Souls facade.

Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro are three of my all time favorites. So far feeling favorable towards Elden Ring but I would still rank it below those three.

> Anything custom made for the gov MUST BE FOSS as money is from the people, so people MUST own it.

I tend to think the same way/hold the same ideologies, but is this really "true"? Something like, say, a tank is also produced by money from the people, but it's quite a stretch to demand that the people own it. Why is software different?
I can't design a new society in the comments section. The question of how to reform the policing system to make cops more accountable for unlawful actions isn't really in the scope of this article.
If you think US police won't abuse the law to evade accountability then I think you haven't been paying attention.
Likely the dog instinctively believes that it has a higher chance of finding something interesting in a hole that someone else filled in, than another spot. You won't get it to stop this behavior unless you fulfill it's needs to dig and find stuff, plus give it a reason why it shouldn't be digging up certain items. The later is done with negative reinforcement, which is not acceptable to some dog trainers these days, despite being sometimes necessary.

I can trace some drastic changes in my own life's trajectory to this book. Baxandall treats a familiar subject in starkly unfamiliar terms. Putting it in context but not making it any more relatable as it would be in a work of fiction or scholarly microhistory. Rather he works out some fundamental relations, social networks, kin structures, schooling and tribal knowledge, higher cortical functions etc. from the basic principles. The canonical works of art (lesser known but no less striking when presented through this lens in his Limewood Sculptors of Renaissance Germany) served me as a vehicle to self discovery.
Yes but Raspbian is also 'a weird variant of Debian' by that line right? I think you're in agreement with GP; I find a similar thing coming up with Arch & Manjaro (an Arch derivative) - for almost any purpose when someone says 'Arch' it applied to Manjaro too (just less often vice versa).

So, yes, 'non-Debian' which (Debian) includes Raspbian, not 'non-Raspbian' which (Raspbian) precludes Debian.
That page doesn't clarify much to me. How exactly do you deploy pieces of the app as different services, while keeping it a monolith in development? Especially this thing not being a framework. Standard go/node modules give you "lego-like" pieces too. The real world example only has one "base" that puts everything together under a single API, so doesn't help understanding how this would be deployed as multiple services.
Scenario: A policeman is performing brutality on someone while multiple peers observe. Those peers approach anyone recording, such that it forces anyone recording to traverse further and further away. (And if those people stand their ground, cops are now able to arrest them for being within 8 feet.) What then?
Bad advice. There are a lot of odorless volatile compounds that will kill you. Human olfactory sense evolved to smell food, waste or rot; it didn't evolve to detect synthetic and contemporary chemicals invented in last 100 years.
The second part of your comment is the exact intention of this law! That’s exactly how it’s supposed to work.
Benefits? If you are not developing _for_ the platform or don’t have specific use cases (e.g. package creation) literally none. It will be an uphill battle where you will spent man-hours trying to find workarounds to things elsewhere are trivial. Or have another system laying around which IMO beats the purpose.

If you are an OS & BSD aficionado, you like to spent time working with OpenBSD because <reasons> ok, but otherwise I would advise against it.

You inspired me to go have a look at VRML. With all respect to the work that has been done, its so incomprehensible to anybody outside the field. And it seems the modern version of it (X3D) is more focused on specifying individual scenes and behaviours, where what we need for the metaverse is the magic sauce that lets people build separate worlds independently and join them together through links. What does a link look like in such a world? is it a door I walk through? a button I press?

We need something radically clearer and simpler to make it successful. I wish I could believe Zuckerberg really wants to build it but it is so hard to see him have the kind of altruism necessary to build any kind of open platform.
What if the body cam happened to be off, glitchy, or data was just lost on happenstance? What if even if the arrest was unlawful the victim already lost their job?

There has only been three books so far that have changed my life-

1. "Sei Somoy" (Those Times) by Sunil Ganguly. It is a novel about the past of Bengalis. The Bengali Reneissance, its central characters, progress, the conflict- all are beautifully depicted. I had no collective identity as a person before. And disliked whatever I had. This book made me feel really good about my identity. Suddenly, I was more confident in a conscious way, and did things better.

2. "Maitreya Jatak" by Bani Basu. Buddha is a human character in this novel. And so is the time and place of India. The pre-big-Empire India is beautifully depicted. I got deeply interested in Buddha and that opened a new path of life for me, which transformed my life.

3. "Godel, Escher, Bach"- learned deeply about logic and its limitations. How human constructs such as mathematical symbols and human languages- all are so limited. Completely changed me as a person and gave me a new outlook.

There are other books that did not change my life completely, but added layers to my perception and thinking.

1. "The Black Swan" by N. Nicholas Taleb. It has added a filter to my entire thought process. I call it the Nicholas filter.

2. "Innovators" by Walter Isaacson. Learned about computer history, collaboration. The idea of " collaboration through time" got really etched into me.

3. "The Little Schemer", 4e and Graham Hutton's Haskell book made me a better programmer in ways I did not expect.

4. Strangly, Neal Stephenson's " Cryptonomicon" has taught me to never waste my time on entertainment or learning that is not fully ideal. The idea that something so profoundly good can exist for people like us, convinced me to read only very high quality literature of all kinds and sci-fi of only the highest kind. Also made me give up watching TV/web series to a large degree. I don’t compromise with the quality of entertainment that I consume anymore. I consume only the best and most desired things.

5. "Mastery" by Leonard Gordon has, above all, taught me that a boring life should be desired where the brain's desire for novelty is not awarded, and instead, time is spent on honing much fewer number of skills.

6. "Deep Work" by Cal Newport has really helped me with my productivity and happiness, and made me give up social media. Same goes for "Pragmatic Thinking and Learning" by Andy Hunt.

7. "Atomic Habits" by James Clear has been effective in many ways of my life.

8. "Mindfulness in Plain English", "The Mind Illuminated", and " What the Buddha Taught" have made me a better human- in all aspects. As if my character's level has been upped in the video game of the world.

9. "Fundamentals of Physics" by Halliday, Resnick, and Walker and my whole familiarity with Feynman through Feynman Lactures and recorded lectures made me intolerant towards dry learning materials. Now, I use learning material that are not marely useful, but also overly entertaining.
US police abuse the law to evade accountability all the time, but I don't see how that's relevant to this particular law.
Ah yea. Let me just pay to put myself through med school independently while I struggle to pay for food and housing.

Sorry but Capitalism is a broken system that is not meeting mine or million's of others needs, much less enabling us to pursue what we're actually passionate about. I at least know that I am passionate about building and supporting technology but I still struggle to pursue it professionally because I had the poor luck to be born without the resources to get a piece of paper that says I know how.
> The disagreeable interpretation is that the only way to learn is from a pristine book. This is so obviously stupid that I see no reason to discuss it further.

Agreed. I actually prefer to see markings in used books I'm reading. Not only does it provide possibly useful context into how another person is thinking about the topic, but it even makes it feel like there's a bit of friendship or community in the book.
your legal duty as a manager includes respecting company confidentiality, and it does not include suspecting things the company does to be criminal with no basis
It's good to see a main funding agency's perspective.

As a researcher, I like their non-hype way of defining AI as "programmed ability", which is accurate and realistic -- also puts AI further apart from real intelligence, which means unanticipated activities.

I would like to know more what they see as "abstracting", from their perspective.

We haven't got much further in our scientific understanding of intelligence - if you bought a psychology text book today and ten years ago there wouldn't be much of a breakthrough change detectable in terms of modeling cognition. And as impressive as some computer science AI models perform certain tasks, I haven't been taken by surprise by them asking me a question out of the blue, which is one of my personal litmus tests for intelligence.
Yep. They already yell "stop resisting!" at people who are clearly not resisting to prime the memories of witnesses. "You're too close!" fits right into that dynamic.
This is interesting human psychology. You can jump to conclusions based on the colour of the tie that a news anchor is reading. If the news anchor on the other channel also has the same colour tie then you could conclude your assumptions to maybe think that the people in the media support a particular cause but they have to be professional and unbiased.

There are a finite amount of colours as well as an infinite amount of colours. For this reason assumptions can be made and conclusions jumped to.

>agnostic atheist

I don't think I've seen these words used together. I've always understood the difference to be that an atheist is as sure in his beliefs as the religious zealot, each with the same amount of proof backing their opinions up. An agnostic realizing this lack of proof simply says "I don't know".
A slight correction, no one uses MMX anymore.

It's all SSE and AVX (wider and more comprehensive instruction set) nowadays.
When you start a Polylith codebase from scratch, you can start implementing your business logic and your components before you have even decided how to execute the code in production. The components can talk directly to each other and you only need the development project to begin with. Then you may decide that yo want to expose your functionality as e.g. a REST API, so you now need to create a base and a project where you put that base and your components. Now you have two projects, one for development and one for your REST service, which both looks the same. Some times later you decide to split your single service into one more service. You still have all the tests set up in development but the way you run the code in production has changed. How you execute your code in production is seen as an implementation detail in Polylith. While developing the system, it's really convenient to work with all your code from the single development project, especially if your language has support for a REPL. If you need a production like environment, then you can have that too, but with that said, you will most probably spend most of your time in the single development environment because that's where you are most productive.
This has been tried, at least for dogs. It doesn't exist for a variety of reasons, but I cannot find any articles about why it failed and I only have second hand knowledge.

I think the punishing elements of the games would be a lot better received if the larger enemies and bosses weren’t as tanky. Or, I’ve noticed a lot of frustration (that prevents the eventual sense of achievement) comes from having to competently hit/dodge a big armoured boss 10-12 times (rather than 3-4).

It starts to feel like an unearned slog, or at worst, a Skinner Box if you luckily pull it off after the nth time.
I found that very unintuitive. Is it typical in numerical analysis to talk about the number of decimal digits represented by a binary floating point number? I don't see what is gained by changing base.
Conversely, if you use double-precision floating point arithmetic near “null island”, the lat/lon coordinate system becomes more precise than the Planck length.
Well, hello.
How do we know which behaviors or characteristics are uniquely “human”? Maybe humans and animals have more behaviors and characteristics in common than a lot of people would like to admit.
OP said nothing about evaluating their techniques, but rather a blanket "Don’t let your neighbors DIY exterior painting, scraping, or demolition".

> if they don’t have a license or permit, how can you verify they are following best practice?

What exactly do you think licenses/permits guarantee? At best, an inspector knows the least responsible crews and checks in on them more often. That's about it.

The only way you can actually verify someone is following best practices is to know what those practices are and observe their behavior. By expressing a belief that permitted professionals somehow automatically conform and DIYers automatically do not, one indicates that one has no idea what best practices actually are but yet feels qualified to judge anyway.
They can arrest you for recording at any distance, and then drop the charges later and likely just get away with it. It won’t matter either way because they already achieved their goal: stop you from recording.
>> Do algorithm authors really implement two code paths?

I do sometimes. Sometimes I test the result, and if it is not correct, then I use a slower, more numerically stable algorithm. I'm not sure if I have ever written code that repeats the same code with quad precision, but of course that would often work. Sometimes you can compute a correction from the "residual".

>>One that uses a cost function iterative algorithm to solve the matrix (this is what everybody does), and a second algorithm using the brute force approach the author showed (known not to work).

We do often use Jacobi or Gauss-Seidel, or something similar (esp for computing estimates of A^(-1)b ). In those cases we never revert back to QR. We do sometimes use Jacobi or GS to improve a result obtained from an ill conditioned QR, but rarely.

Many years ago, I would have the code raise an exception if the result is bad so that I would get a call. When I got such a call, I would think about how to make the algorithm more stable.
You're allowed to record your own interaction.

Cue the totally random inexplicable wave of phones accedentally knocked out of hands in scuffles or confiscated for examination or plain handcuffings.
80x24 is plenty of room for solitaire, and an ok minesweeper (bigger is nice though)

If you've got a graphical terminal, like you'd need for your filesystem viewer, then you can do all sorts of stuff, of course.
Journalist: records from 9 feet away

Police: Stop recording me.

Journalist: I'm more than 8 feet away, I have the right to record.

Police: You're 7 feet away. Last warning.

Journalist: is still 9 feet away so keeps recording

Police: Arrests journalist, confiscates recording

District attorney: Reviews footage, sees that the journalist was more than 8 feet away, drops charges

Journalist: sues for wrongful arrest

Court: Being able to count distance accurately is not a job requirement for a police officer. Wrongful arrest claim denied

Journalist: files claim for return of recording

Police department: We are unable to find this recording. (Or, alternatively, they wipe the media before returning it.)
> the standard textbooks are excellent

Sorry, I have to disagree with this, at least with respect to quantum mechanics. The pedagogy of QM is atrocious because it generally focuses on the single-particle case and relegates entanglement to the sidelines while making a big deal out of the mystery of the measurement problem. This leaves students hopelessly confused. At least, it left me hopelessly confused for about ten years. Even today one hears physicists speak un-ironically of "quantum erasers changing the past" and other associated nonsense. If there's a standard text that inoculates against that, I have not seen it.
This is different.

The key value of `split-patch` is that you can create as many patches (commits) as you want by doing a single pass over the (potentially large) patchset.

If you're willing to do multiple passes over the patchset, you could `git commit` right away.

Anyway, cool, I didn't know you could name stashes!
I must have gotten catfished
Yeah, that's what I want to do next.
Thanks, missed that detail. Surprisingly well thought out then!
It really feels like data mesh is a fairly half baked concept born out of short term consulting gigs and a desire to become a technical thought leader.

If police unlawfully seize and destroy your recorded evidence, then it doesn't matter whether there was a law like this in effect. The officer could make up any story to justify their action under any law.

Mandatory body cam laws would be a lot more relevant in that case, not 8-foot citizen recording laws.
Ah, finally changelists are coming to Git. Having worked with Perforce, this certainly feels very familiar.
You don’t have to farm levels. You just go do something else that naturally results in levels or loot making your character stronger. Since all of the game is wonderfully designed, it’s never a situation where you run off and “kill 10 bats” that people might have in mind due to precedents set by e.g. world of Warcraft.

Also, few ppl understand this, but community knowledge is actually a core part of the design philosophy. That’s why there’s player messages and blood stains built into the game. It’s not a dirty thing in this game to look stuff up or ask for help. There’s a huge community and comradary aspect to the game.
I take back what I said. It doesn't actually address my concern.

All the officer has to say is that your filming was interfering with their actions, and then they'll slap that charge on you and confiscate your phone,
possibly combining with resisting arrest. Also, the worse the officer's
transgression is, the more likely that your phone will be "accidentally
damaged".

Even if the officer's claim is bullshit, the cost of defending against their
bullshit is going to be infeasible for many.
In each of the two games I played it asked for the same street twice, but it's not like there are less than five streets to choose from.
