> Should everyone fighting an immigration or deportation case be able to request a jury trial?

Not necessarily - this judgement is about assigning a punishment for a violation, which would generally require a trial; but immigration courts usually decide cases where whatever they judge is not a punishment but rather granting or denying a privilege, so their decision is legally fundamentally different even if it results in a deportation.
I figure they can too actually. :)

>Since Godel’s first incompleteness theorem is not a formal system, it does not apply to itself.

Except the author is formalizing the theorem. Meaning the theorem is based off a formal system. That means the system itself that was created to derive this theorem is either incomplete or inconsistent.

So Yes it does apply to itself.

Outdated and reads like an ad for Zoom. One of the recommendations is literally "use zoom because it's better".

Also on shaky ground is the advice to use a DSLR camera as web cam. As pointed out in a recent discussion here, the problem with adding more devices to the chain is... more devices in the chain.

Dedicated diffuse lighting, wireless headsets, separate cameras etc.. participants will need to be patient while you prepare and configure your film set.

I used a wireless headset for awhile, but swapped it for a wired headset after too many times joining meetings without the headset pairing in time.
I'd be afraid this will leave unaware users vulnerable to copycats using the uBlock name for their lesser or even malicious extensions.
It looks similar to a company I have seen which takes advantage of "third-world" qualified workers by sponsoring ("relocating") them, employing them for a fix period of 2 years, probably for crumbs and the termination of the contracts resulting paying back the "relocation/visa costs". I can imagine, many people from developing countries would still willing to take the risk, but I am not adjusted to that.

But thanks!

The pre-Omicron variants are far more deadly.

Pre-vaccine, the variants were more deadly.

Delaying infection saves lives. Gives time for people to get vaccinated. Gives time for the virus to evolve.

Australia shut down a lot harder than the US. Their economy bounced back much faster, because the shut-downs were shorter. The shut-downs were shorter because they were much, much more strict.

As for “media sensationalism”, COVID is the #3 leading cause of death in the USA. More than a third of nurses and a fifth of doctors are quitting their jobs. They aren’t doing that because the pandemic was bullshit. Media sensationalism my hairy ass.
Metal is great. Of the current generation of modern low-overhead Gfx APIs I think Metal was the easiest to get started with, great documentation and examples. While it takes more specialized knowledge to get started compared to OpenGL, I think there are now several good cross platform libraries like bgfx and sokol to satisfy the need for a higher level cross platform library (including shader transpiling) that fill the need that OpenGL used to serve.

I'm glad OpenGL got deprecated across the industry, despite the patchwork of extensions it was based on a model of GPU + CPU capability from the 1990s and became obsolete.
> After that, you can go and chase material stuff. Many new careers start at 50. A lot involve family. An option is semi-retiring at 25 and then really get into hustling and stuff at 50, once you have the resources, skills, and connections.

As someone who is 17, from my (perhaps naive) perspective, do you know if you will even be alive at 50? Or will you have the energy/health to make an impact? A family now is good and all, but putting off making - ideas, impact, change - sounds like a recipe for disaster.
> The gist of the decision is that the SEC’s imposition of civil penalties and disgorgement violated defendants’ seventh amendment right to a jury trial

If being tried by a jury is so necessary for justice, how is it that ~95% of people currently imprisoned in this country have never faced a jury trial?

The answer is obvious - actually having jury trials for everyone would grind the country to a halt, so for the majority of us, this sort of right only exists in theory.

But you'll never hear the 5th circuit saying a word on that subject.

In a just world, this new development should mirror how jury trials work for the rest of us - anyone demanding a jury trial to avoid regulatory censure should be subjected to such horrific penalties if they lose, that nobody in their right mind would ever choose that option. Sadly, we do not live in a just world.

What's critical is that this remains an informal process.

The moment this process becomes codified into a formal doc that requires approvals and reviews across teams, is the moment this ends up becoming a far larger part of the work than it should. Making it a required aspect of the job dramatically slows down the work and makes the doc act as a gatekeeper to technical work.
I would say decision making in general.

Don't forget that all those optimization methods developed by Soviet mathematicians found great adoption by corporate planners in capitalist societies!

The book Red Plenty is a great book about both these ideas and the history of the USSR. I can't recommend it enough for technical folks, it's a book that made me interested in economics like never before.

With companies like Amazon taking over large sections of retail consumption and allocation in our economy, the ideas are extremely relevant today. What could Amazon do with a massive AI that the USSR could not do? Definitely more, but they probably can not solve the computation problem of an entire economy.
Sounds like me. It’s been my recurring project, restarted every few years. My previous one got as far as a module system, multithreaded job system, basic event system, ECS and a usable editor based on Dear ImGUI but has very limited rendering, if you could call it that at all.

My latest iteration is actually making some strides and has most of the above plus Lua scripting, a scene system, notification events (x happened) as well as messages (events posted specifically to entities or groups of entities) and asynchronous resource loading. I am currently cleaning up the code and then I plan to add PhysX support. Rendering is still very basic though.

But that’s ok, it’s my for fun personal project, where I can tackle the challenges that are interesting or fun to me (I enjoy creating a cache efficient messaging system based on a paged stack allocator memory pool... these are things I absolutely don’t need but really enjoy writing).

Will I ever complete it or make a substantial game with it? Probably not.

But it keeps programming enjoyable (and helps me retain some c++ knowledge)

Personally, I’ve felt the most fulfilled when I’m pushing the limits of my knowledge and building something that matters. And after 10 years, I’m finally comfortable in saying that I know a lot about web development.

I’ll never know everything, but my core skills seem to carrying me through the ever-changing complexities of the web. It’s honestly a great feeling.

A tendency I’ve noticed in myself is becoming discouraged when my job neither recognizes my growing skills, or even has a technical need for them. I’ve got no delusions that I’m some coding legend. I just want to be one…someday.

All that to say, finding satisfaction from a job you dislike is tough, and possibly a road to burnout. Personally, I would rather look for positions that seem technically interesting and have nice people. Companies are usually too invested in their business model than being good for the world.

Not so much as you would expect. Solar panels have got cheap enough that buying more of them to use locally is cheaper than buying the transmission line.

The smart money would be buying ammonia synthesis equipment to site in Africa, instead, to sell to Finland and wherever the wind has let up.
> Those bureaucrats are appointed by the President, whom you vote for, and by Congress, whom you vote for, and may be fired by the former.

I wish this was the case, but it is not: only a minuscule fraction of government bureaucrats is politically appointed. The people actually drafting the million pages of administrative regulations are overwhelmingly career bureaucrats, who are effectively unfireable.

> 2. In 2022, I wouldn't hold my breath for congress to pass any laws

The Congress does pass some laws, for things it cares about and where there is a broad agreement as to what the law should be. If the elected representative cannot get enough votes to pass a law, it most likely means that the law is not that important, or that there is no agreement on what it should be.

"storing energy in millions of smart thermostat homes by overheating/cooling them during peak hours to reduce demand at other hours"

Who's going to go along with this? I suspect millions in the US alone would flip their lids if such an idea were even considered and rightfully so. IMO this would be a great idea if your ultimate goal was to cause smart thermostats to be banished from the home.
I work fintech, which is one of the more soulless fields. But I love it. We're building financial infrastructure for SE Asia.

I had a ecommerce startup 5 years ago and we couldn't take credit cards, because payment gateways sucked, and the chain of effort around legally doing it was too much for a startup. So 40% of the work was just validating payment, and the other 40% was logistics, which left us very little room to grow.

I think it's satisfying to do B2B stuff so the B2C folk can just focus on being creative and doing what they're good at. I mean as FE I end up doing mostly B2C, but there's a lot of wiring under the hood, and we do things that the competitors have trouble with.

Even when I did e-commerce, it was very satisfying. We sold health ingredients. This stuff was easily accessible in urban places, but we got it into more rural areas. One notable testimonial was a woman whose husband cheated on her because she was fat, and the app helped her take control of that and start eating healthy. But the community ended up a little cult like (people were dieting to the point of passing out), and we realized we created a monster and sold the company.

I think the field doesn't really matter, as much as the company you're working in caring about the people they serve.

Since watching the Pyramid K documentary on YouTube I have come to the point I am willing to take it as a possible explanation for ancient sites. I don't 100% believe that many ancient peoples were completely in the dark about math, science and engineering. I do think that there are plenty of conclusions jumped to in archaeology because there is a need for consistency but it assumes that all civilizations are consistent throughout all time. The hardest part of ancient civilizations is that we are left with what we think we know and things we find left behind of it.

Loads will come to match solar production exactly as storage is built out, and electrolysis.

Of course solar is not the only renewable benefitting from production learning curve.
I have heard about OKRs but feel I don't really grok them. How can the whole org have common goals. Consider an IT dept. In my company, they ONLY focus on security .. which means they spend all their time locking things down and making life intolerable for end users. From my perspective, security should be one metric but others would be subjective (user's perspective of IT systems and services) and objective (avg number of tickets, turn-around time, etc.). Even in a chip company, how does a sub-org like IT implement OKRs?
>The difference is that replacement theory doesn't go so far as to call for a "self-defence" genocide. It's comparable to the difference between an unarmed bomb and an armed bomb.

It's a distinction without a difference in practice. As the article mentions, the Buffalo shooter was motivated by replacement theory, as was the Christchurch shooter and the El Paso shooter.
I'm in the same boat. I have tried GCP and AWS, and they sound too robotic. Do you convert articles you wrote or random articles? The reason I'm asking is because I'm thinking about new project that works like Descript and that is much easy to use.

On the one hand it's good to remember Manifest v2 is from a long long time ago, before Web Extensions API was a glimmering in anyone's eye. It was simply the chrome extension api back then.

It was powerful & capable. But it wasnt a standard, other than that it was by far the highest potential most capable most interesting user-agency extension on the planet by a good measure.

What's so fucking twisted is that we're undergoing "standardization" in v3 at the exact same moment Google is radically rewriting & reshaping the api to be far far far less capable.

It's hard to see a single win from any of the changes. After achieving world dominating success, the very last moment before standardization these chums have repealed a huge swarth of changes, all untested & unproven. It's amateur hour, just a sas ahit show right before standardization. devlarativeNetRequesr has some ostensibly good & virtuous advatanges, but it was obviously shit & deeply insufficient in the most woefully obvious of ways. Eliminating dynamic code was tacked on as a pro-security gimmick that didnt even remotely take technical interest & possibity into concerns: oh whoops we accidentally blew up userscript extensions, sorry, but you're all safe now.

This whole thing deeply deeply walks the line between vicious & evil farce & accidnetal fuckwittery. I still tend to give these folks the benefit of a doubt, that they simply lacked vision & respect & understanding & werent actively sabotaging & neutering the web like it certainly looks like.

That all said, v3 is actually the first proposed standard, seemingly sabotaged & crippled that it may be. So when you say this, I think, no, alas, everyone is for the first time trying to join up, just, alas, it's for misbegotten quite-possibly-sabotaged greatly de-fanged trash:

You say so, but hydrogen production capacity is additive. More electrolysers, more hydrogen, up to the power available.

But, as with solar, wind, and storage, prices will fall fast as production ramps up.
>do you mean burned or unburned carbon?

I'm not sure what distinction you're trying to draw.

>And since we are still pumping oil of the ground, leaving a different form of oil (plastic) in the ground doesn't accomplish anything useful.

I suspect that overall energy production in the US probably emits less CO2 per kwhr than burning garbage does, so starting to burn garbage for energy would be, in that regard, a net negative. Furthermore, it would likely require moderately significant capital expenditure that could've instead been used for something better.
hah, what a fun variant. Some of the most fun I've ever had playing chess has been "bughouse" (aka tandem chess). It's basically 2v2 chess with the trick being, you and your partner play opposite colors. Whenever you capture a piece, you hand it to your partner, and they can drop it anywhere they like on their board.
So if I'm the sort of person who eats my cheese rinds, I don't really have anything to worry about here.
Would it make sense to re-design or revise POSIX to match Rust conventions first?

Much of POSIX design is strongly linked to C and the Unix philosophy and conventions.

Rust follows different conventions so implementing POSIX in Rust seems like an impedance mismatch (see https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20180123-00/?p=97...)

Edit: downvotes, but no replies? If you disagree, why? I would love to hear your thoughts.
People have quantified it. About 0.55% of global energy consumption for almost no meaningful benefit.

I don’t really know what point you’re trying to make beyond “don’t tell me what to do” or maybe “but you do other things that cause carbon emissions so how can this be bad?”
I don’t like it either that the right to jury trial is overwhelmingly bargained away, but having the right and bargaining it away is still preferable to not have any right in the first place.
