> Could you elaborate on your process for outlining? What level of detail do you go into?

It depends on how developed the idea is. When I have give a lot of thought to something, especially the very moving and important points, I often know exactly how I want to phrase something poignant. In that case, I may write a full sentence, and if a great idea strikes me at this moment I might continue writing a full paragraph, but I ONLY do this if the inspiration is flowing and I don't want to lose it. Whenever possible, I will channel that flow into additional bullet points and work on the phrasing later.

> Do you nest bullets or stick to one top-level list?

I don't usually nest with formatting, unless the order of the sub points are really important; I usually list related ideas below each other. I do this because when I'm playing with the plot, sometimes I'll move those related points to come earlier in the story, even though they happened later in chronological time -- especially if I'm trying to pull in the reader during the first or second paragraph with something that is interesting, but is not an important event in the story.

> Do you try to lay out the substance of your argument?

The main points are usually the first items in the list and then I insert the connecting ideas and points in between. In terms of how substantive those list items are, I try to keep them short and stay high level in the brainstorming/outlining mode.

Other suggestions on process:

I delete a lot at the end. I scrub every word and phrase that isn't absolutely necessary.

The last paragraph I write is the first paragraph of the article/essay -- it's so much more natural to create a map of where you're going after you've already been there. This also takes the pressure off of getting started because you can start anywhere, and it makes writing the introductory paragraph so easy it feels like cheating.

The last thing I write is the title.
You know what’s going to happen. The cop sees the person recording and walks towards him asking if they are recording and gets inside 8 ft and arrests them. Easy! Or another cop dashes the person recording just to stop and arrest the recording
> Once the police have the ability to arrest people for videoing them,
they will use it whenever they please.

Maybe not quite. An interesting dilemma arises. If our law abiding,
peace officers arrest someone for filming - then that media becomes
the evidence in an arrest. So they may safely arrest someone so long
as they (the police) are doing nothing wrong while the cameraman is is
"illegally" filming them.

But then why would anyone be filming police who are doing nothing
wrong?

As soon as the police are engaged in acts of violence, and people
start filming them, it would not be in their interests to arrest
anyone, unless they were prepared to follow through, destroy evidence,
intimidate detainees into silence or commit perjury.

So this idea puts the police into an interesting bind, and suggests it
would only have consequences that lead quickly to tyrannical outcomes.

Agreed. Unfortunately “New Deal” language is also politically toxic. Not sure how to leverage the appetite for military spending to build infrastructure. Declare war on potholes?
Not sure the selected area is suitable for a city like London - there are just too many small streets in every directions to be able to know them all, or even half of them.

It's possibly more suitable in US cities for example that are divided into large blocks and large roads.
This fits with dispatch also going encrypted in a lot of districts. The less people know the better for the police.
I disagree that this is premature, but best practice. This example is actually a small lesson how this autocomplete can construct slightly less readable code. Of course not really a problem of the tool as you have to refactor anyway.
Right now there's no backend but potentially I could have a leaderboard per geofenced city / town

> You're offended you're not being included as users of time?

Please refrain from personal attacks. It is unecessary and doesn’t add to the conversation. Thank you.

> I use Google Maps all the time. I used it for my last trip! How dare you.

Do note that your example didn’t say “nobody uses maps”. If an imaginary salesperson would say “nobody uses maps” I would call bulshit on that too.

> Yes, you're using time.

Great, so the company representative should simply not say “nobody is using time”. And the commenter I was responding to shouldn’t say that applications which are fine with a lower accuracy “aren't ‘using time’ in any real sense”.

Heck, all I know maybe nanosecond accuracy is where the bees knee is, and everyone is going to be amazed by the awesome new applications it is going to enable. But you don’t need to disregard all the history of timekeeping and all the current applications to make that point.

On 28 April 1789 a mutiny broke out on HMS Bounty. The ship’s former captain, departing on a rowboat, demanded that the mutineers give him K2 the ship’s chronometer. The mutineers refused, because the chronometer was worth about as much as the whole ship, and they needed it for their onward navigation. Somebody should have told them that they are not using time in any real sense. Probably they would have laughed at that idea.
This can still fail, though. Consider DS1.

Resistance is a stat you can put points into. It does virtually nothing. Little in the game will make it obvious that putting points into Resistance will be a waste. "Well, you made bad choices" is not a perfect defense against this.
Working dogs definitely stress over losing their jobs. I've had several herding dogs that spent far more energy than I ever would worrying about the state of the ranch, where each animal was, and the possibility of outside predators.

The day I saw a 50 lb dog herd a 2,000 lb uncastrated bull into an unused pen, all on it's own initiative, while everyone else hid in the house was the day that I treated the dog as an equal coworker.
Another change i think would be helpful for beginners is ability to set the road category e.g. only guess tertiary and greater roads
i'd be curious what matlab would do with finding the eigs for op's matrix. i'd bet a coffee that it (one of the eigs functions) prints a warning. entirely possible it may even switch search methods if precision loss is detected.
Hashing, perhaps. It's probably what they're doing in background.
I can see how this is almost offensive to the whole subject of Experimental Physics since it ignores all of it - and for that matter Solid State Physics as well. But for Theoretical Physics (minus Mathematical Physics) it seemed to me almost like a sport where professors tried to boil the theory down to a minimal set of assumptions while taking symmetry arguments to the extreme. Obviously this doesn't contain any QM postulates but OTOH for practical purposes QFT is what many people use to compare theory with predictions. IMHO Theoretical Physics without Experimental Physics is useless and vice-versa. And there isn't much research going on with QM (despite plenty of open questions)
If a body cam happened to be off, then it doesn't matter whether a law like this is in effect or not.
You can get an idea by looking at the Production systems page (https://polylith.gitbook.io/polylith/conclusion/production-s...) where each column in the first diagram is a project (deployable artifact / service). All components are specified in a single file, like the configuration file for the poly tool itself: (https://github.com/polyfy/polylith/blob/master/projects/poly...).

I try to explain it in the "Bring it all together" section also: https://polylith.gitbook.io/polylith/architecture/bring-it-a...
This looks like a list of great ideas of what to write in a motivational letter. They could have said: "these are types of things we are looking for in a motivational letter. we've listed them to make it easier for you, but you don't need to fill all of them in" and it would get a much better reception.
The questions are designed to allow an interviewer to get as much signal in the 45 minutes spent in the interview.. that's why they're contrived rather than your typical piece of work.
They're not designed to test you on something you would never encounter though.
If a company is asking these kinds of questions and the job only ever requires dealing with npm packages that shields the engineer from this complexity then they shouldn't be doing that in my opinion.
But most of the companies asking these questions are in the business of building software that requires this lower-level knowledge
Thanks. I'm considering adding an option to change the radius and or difficulty modes which filter out streets by length.

The ones I have used worked like that. They gave wonky output if you scanned something that was not a bar code.

I also used a 2D scanner and it worked the same way.
I still like to occasionally use rational number arithmetic because I "know" that the answer is correct. It is very true that it can be horribly slow, but if it does finish, then you do have a correct answer. I have only rarely used it in production code. In those rare cases, I think that I would have checked to make sure that the running time was acceptable.
This seems like mostly common sense. Infrastructure teams should always be building tools that the org consumes (and ideally the general public)

In a lot of orgs this goes sideways and the infrastructure teams end up owning everything and never have time to do anything else. Usually this happens due to upper management putting on the squeeze.

In order for teams to actually own their infrastructure and data we need better tooling to help them. This is coming along nowadays but isn’t fully there.

The argumentation you're using can pretty much apply to any mature legal system. Usually when this is argued it's in the form of an old Bloomberg opinion piece, "70% of people have done something worthy of jail time and didn't even know it" [1] All that to say, that bit of reasoning is probably more apt for a different discussion.

I don't really have an opinion as to whether it's ethical or not ethical to video a traffic stop. It does kind of sound like lighting a match when soaked in gasoline though.

It's taken decades for NASA to refine and release their new space suit. This is a flight suit, so it may be a bit different, but it's not as if one walks into any old tailor and asks for a new flight suit. There has to be lead time, approvals, etc. involved
Since you are allowed to film your own interaction, you just can't be a bystander withn 8 feet, I think that just means go ahead and film anyway, because simply by being ther, it is your interaction also.

If a cop is harassing someone for loitering, and you for violating the 8ft rule, either way, you are involved in an interaction between a cop and yourself, and so you are allowed to film it, and so what the hell was the point of the excercise, except to make people afraid and inhibited from protecting themselves?
If you need so many "slides" to persuade your clients of something, I think you lost already.
I know I'm getting old but the naming of the project really irks me. If it has an "x" in front of it, I expect it needs X Windows and tosses up some kind of gui.

Also, being old, I don't know why anybody would want to introduce Node style dependency hell into any C++ project when "configure" exists.

SCION looks very promising, and by now it has also been deployed in Switzerland's financial network, so it seems ready for production:

(Actually, the original creator of SCION teaches my CompNet course, which is pretty cool. His rants on BGP are quite legendary.)
But they asked them and from what I read the response was "we had a lot of yellow material around" and later some officials had various explanations like "is an university color" (why did not the cosmonauts say that is their university color and tell everyone how proved they are of the university or "it is just a color".

I asked for videos/images of yellow being used in the past on ISS and still no one was shared.

If the cosmonauts would have responded with the "university colors" explanation I would have believed it so not sure how can I explain their joke,

The habit of finger-licking: getting a solution out of the pandemic
I wonder who is trying to get what funded? "Second wave" is going gangbusters, despite Gary Marcus' every-six-months rant; the review of statistical learning is reasonable given a barely technical audience, but the summary of "third wave" seems designed to extract large amounts of funding from people who aren't up to date on the state of the field.
This made me giggle like a dumbass. Thanks. I participate on the SC2 AI community. It is a-lot of fun. I use Python and CPP for my ML. The game matches are so unpredictable which makes the project questionable because the AI indeed smashes any opponent.
I noticed that some areas pop up more than others. Is there like a difficulty score that you are calculating in the back? Making it easier is definitely a challenge, I’d guess. The major landmarks simply matter more.

But, I LOVED playing round after round in Amsterdam, learning more about a city I definitely don’t know like the back of my hand!

MCQs for marked areas would be nice— guessing the name of a place given a location.

Keep going!! This is really awesome.
Agreed with it. It is the highlight of this release.
And cops get away with harassing people all the time. The US courts have been doing an abysmal job of protecting the citizenry from police abuse. (E.g. qualified immunity.)

The thing that has been to some extent reversing that trend is cheap and ubiquitous video cameras.

> As soon as the police are engaged in acts of violence, and people start filming them, it would not be in their interests to arrest anyone, unless they were prepared to follow through, destroy evidence, intimidate detainees into silence or commit perjury.

We already see this happening. IIRC Police unions are the only people allowed to review the evidence for the first 24 hours and are free from consequence were it to get "lost".
Pretty wild, especially also the implications of the children having their own children and passing the mutated genes. I wonder also why there is a deactivated gene that prevents HIV infection... did we have this ability for a long time but it fell out of use and was selected off?
>(and not that it matters, but the victim was white)

If BLM wanted to add legitimacy to their cause, especially to those on the fence, they would raise awareness to these non-black deaths in the same way that they do when it's black deaths. Standing against unjustified police violence against any person is not at all against the "black lives matter" premise. In fact, speaking up about it would help people relate to their cause. But, for one reason or another, they seem to stay relatively silent.
It does affect you if the police can force you turn off your camera, or if they can later claim in court that video evidence of their transgressions were illegally obtained, and thus inadmissible.
Awesome, thank you for sharing these great resources. How did you find them?

The magazine "Canada's History" used to be named "The Beaver" in honor of how beaver trapping played a major role both in lives of the indigenous peoples of Canada as well as in colonial history well into the 19th century. It was eventually changed in the 21st century. No exact reason has been given, but one imagines there were a lot of web searches landing on their home page from people not necessarily interested in the animal nor Canada's history.
the point is, it's manual, and any manual process is messy and errorprone. you can forget to do it or you can be on a device where it is not practical, or simply not have the time.

and saving that whole html page instead of the actual text also produces a very messy result. have fun restoring that.

In what way is reporting on not being able to film police a "leftist" story.

It should be fundamentally an outrage to any libertarian right winger.
Often you can bound the running time --- certainly if there are no loops and you only use + - * and / operations. But, you are often screwed if there is a sin, cos, sqrt or other function that gives irrational results. You can sometimes get around sqrt function or other root functions by using an extension field, but I think I could count on one hand how many times I've done that.

Cars where? Many cars here in Europe have a valve directly mechanically linked to the pedal. Any car without cruise control has it that way.
It’s not an accusation, I’m just pointing out that there is in fact a very real scenario where making such statements would be treasonous.

But again, Gabbard has a history of incredibly sketchy behaviour. I don’t think any criticism of her can be compared with the red scare.

She traveled to Syria to meet with the head of a regime the US is actively waging a proxy war against. But it doesn’t end there, it’s the people she went there with.

Had she traveled with any other group, you might be able to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Perhaps she is not a traitor, but she hangs out with Assad and the middle-eastern Nazi party. I suspect treason might be more defensible.

Perhaps you could call hanging out with Assad treasonous, the US has been waging an indirect war against him for years.

Informing the children about the experiment is the very least they should do. And I think 18 is a bit too late, I probably would do it a bit earlier than that. Anything after that has to be their own choice, like it is for everyone else.

This is an issue in Germany, as well. People are prosecuted for recording police interactions regularly; sometimes they get away with it, sometimes they don't.
