People say that gun owning should be restricted. But are the mass shootings done by people who have a gun permit and legally bought the guns?

Also, forbidding guns, doesn't change people minds. If someone has a psychiatric condition he can drive a large truck into the crowd, light up a crowded building or event try to poison a water reservoir, destroy a dam, derail a train, make a bomb using gasoline, fertilizer and sugar.

I wonder how well the number of untreated mental health issues in US corelates with mass shootings and other mass killings.

Maybe the biggest factor of people dying in mass murders is not gun control, but the fact that there are some people who reach that deranged state of mind in which they think it's ok to kill others.

Do you think you‘d be great at guitar, and love playing it, if your parents had forced you to take lessons?
Presumably in any situation where individually owned firearms were helpful in resisting the United States military, some significant portion of national guard members would also say “no thanks” when activated. After all, the United States military can already conscript individuals, so any hope of individual firearms being useful for resistance obvious assumes that individuals would say “no thanks” to conscription.

I’m an eastern european and this sounds very much like the typical corner-cutting and cheating that we are taught is something to be worth bragging about.

Reminds me of my Polish high school. Not only were people cheating and open about it between each other, teachers were encouraging that if you don’t get caught then it’s not a problem.

It’s a feature of our culture that at the end of the day tires everyone out because you have to be on a constant look out for fuck ups.
No I'm saying that your argument is that putting people into forced quarantine if the disobey requirements is totalitarian and that it would be prevented by higher gun ownership. I'm saying that the US is putting a much larger fraction of their population into jails (for disobeying requirements), which should be considered just as totalitarian and the armed populace is not preventing it.
Please don't move the goalposts. You said:

>Do you see school shootings happening in Europe?

Implying that school shootings don't happen in Europe. I then listed 20 school shootings that have occurred in Europe over the last 20 years and your response is to claim that there are "orders of magnitude more [school shootings] in the US".

"Orders" implies that there is at least 100 times more (as a single order is 10 times more) school shootings in the US than in Europe. That is also not true, even counting events such as "Two boys, aged 11 and 14-years-old were shot in the parking lot of the Searles Elementary School around 1 am" and "An individual who was not a student accidentally shot himself in the leg in the parking lot of Glades Central High School" as school shootings, which Wikipedia and most media do. Even with all the stat padding, there are have only been 365 "school shootings" in the US over the last 22 years (i.e. a single order of magnitude more than my partial list of European school shootings); the actual number of school shootings by the common definition is in the same ballpark as Europe.

> gun owners would be much more receptive to regulation if they felt people were genuinely trying to separate narrow and effective laws from broad infringements that annoy many and accomplish little

Actually, there were polls based on which gun owners support gun regulation a lot more then one would say. There is subgroup of gun owners represented by NRA who dont - but they dont represent average gun owner.

The support for gun regulation is quite high in general public.
Before fire arms being invented people took other's lives with knives, swords or clubs. Or poison. Or bare hands. What makes you think that not owning a gun will make people less murderous?
Every so often you'll see another story of a kid who did something bad with their parent's account linked to paying for things. The last one I saw was a 2 year old who got like 30 burgers delivered by using some app on his mom's phone. Literally a UX so intuitive children can use it just fine.

Designing for or at least in mind of multiple personas can help; Microsoft used to design things with 3 in mind. But bosses can see anything extra as too much work, not worth it, and if not kill it outright at least deprioritize and delay it indefinitely to the same effect. Another trick is to sneak stuff in under FUD about ADA lawsuits; at the very least you can ship a nice set of keyboard shortcuts for power users to 'discover'.
I'm actually for D&I but latinx seems like textbook virtue signalling especially when most Latin-American people don't even like it. I believe they prefer just latino.
> This also brought back memories of me being required to play piano growing up

Funnily enough, every friend brought up "working class", who had no access to music / sport etc is envious of my forced violin lessons, choir practice and sports after school all year round.
1.) No sometimes, looking at those debate basically always.

2.) Gun owners defined as "people who own guns" have actually quite high support for regulations. There is strong lobby and minority that does not support them, but they dont represent all or even most people who own guns.
We encourage our kids to do sport and music, but they choose which ones (and have both changed as they get older) and we stop if they are not enjoying it or getting something out of it. We are also careful about what teachers/schools they go to to avoid ones that are mills for competitions etc. some teachers are as bad as over competitive parents.

The important thing is to encourage but listen to them. And to make it clear that they can just do it for fun.
I really hate these euphemisms for abusive care givers. It isn't "tiger mums," more often than not it's just covert/vulnerable narcissistic parents.

I'm not saying it's always the case, but can we really appreciate parents that have so little empathy that they can't see how much suffering their egocentricity causes their own children?

Edit: typo
It really shows how "free" capital has been last few years if the VCs can use that broken as heuristics and survive (even thrive).
> The annual deaths from mass shootings per capita in Canada is 0.032, which is about one third that of the U.S. (0.089) [2].

Nitpick to avoid confusion: these numbers are per million (not per capita).
$150 millions? Heckin wowerino, now that sure made it all not worth it huh, they're never going to do it again, no siree.

The current state of the web is completely laughable.
Have you tried https://mpr.makedeb.org/ ?

It seems like it’s made for Debian based systems, much like the AUR for Arch.
Probably because:

1) It's easy to miss a repo, if you don't have a list of them all somewhere.

2) It's easy to get out of sync with what version of your software corresponds to what branch/tag in each repo.
"I would just fck off and improvise and try to teach myself popular songs instead of actually practicing"

I did the exact same thing, except now I'm a skilled keyboardist (and multi-instrumentalist) who gets paid for gigs. I still spend most of my time fucking around and improvising. Every bit of theory I discovered through fucking around and just exploring freely. I never do scales: I just pick a key and start improvising.

If my parents had pushed me to 'actually practice', I would have rebelled and quit altogether. They did for a couple of years. And I did quit. Fortunately, I found my way back to it, on my own terms, because I simply loved playing instruments -- but I loved doing it on my own terms, not someone else's.

The frank truth is that some people really like playing instruments, and some are just 'meh' about it. Those who have a tendency to enjoy playing an instrument just need to have access to one -- and then they'll find their way. On the other hand, if a child is 'meh' about an instrument, is it really worth punishing and forcing them through all of it? What's the goddamn point? Isn't life to be enjoyed? Is it really just a series of skills to stoically master?
I sympathize. But if you had pushed them to do anything, chances are not so high you‘d have picked the right things. You might have pushed baseball and chess on them, and they might now be angry that you didn’t make them learn to code instead. Plus there might be additional resentment because forcing humans to do something they don’t like tends to create that.

Elite was where I came across it.
While you are not wrong that there are other ways to commit mass killings, in pretty much all countries with no guns, you don't see these alternate events.

So the outcomes you suggest are perhaps not the logical outcome of removing guns from society.

As an example if I take Europe as a whole (the bits not in an active conflict) there aren't 600 events a year of water poisoning or trucks in crowds etc.

Now true, they have different approaches to handling mental illness, so that's a factor, but even so.
It is much more difficult to buy a gun in Serbia.

dsizzle, elsewhere in the thread: "You can't buy automatic or semiautomatic weapons, and registration — including background checks and safety training — is required for all gun owners."

Gun ownership is probably quite high because of war in recent decades, but it would be much more difficult for someone to impulsively buy a gun because they were currently angry and looking for an outlet or revenge.
That's a _feature_ for the telcos. They want you to be able to walk into a store, grab a new phone, and walk out several hundred dollars lighter with your old number already working on your shiny new phone. They want to make it as easy as possible to do that.

They never signed up to be the gatekeepers to your digital life, and there's nobody paying them to do that. Expecting them to make their sales experience worse than their competitors just because some bank or crypto exchange can't work out a decent way to authenticate their customers is insane.
Trucks have truck licenses and are expensive to obtain, or require getting a job and passing screening.

Lighting up buildings, destroying a dam (how??) and other civil engineering misadventures require way more thought and planning than shooting someone with a gun in your cupboard.

Limiting gun purchases is way easier than tackling all of mental illness. We can't even define half of the reasons why people turn to the 'dark side', let alone be there for them in exactly the right capacity at exactly the right time to save their mind.
Ouch.

I’m sorry he had to go through that.
Barometric pressure is thought to induce headaches in some people [1]. Another possibility could be allergens, particularly grass pollen and tree pollen which can display large geographic variations. Another is ergonomics, eg are you using a laptop in some places and not others, or is your set up less ergonomic in some places.

I must say this pattern of headache is a bit unusual. Migraines shouldn't persist for months, and they are the typical type of headache induced by barometric pressure. If you have the means then think about getting an MRI brain. Very rarely there could be something like a vascular malformation which would be worth discovering. There is a risk of unrelated incidental findings however.

"[..]the only reason that I didn't kill myself as a teenager was that I didn't know how[..]"

heartbreaking..
Absolutely. I still played at home, just without a teacher. I improved a tiny amount with all bad technique.

This was the down side of lenient parents who never forced us to do things we didn’t like, and let us quit even things that were good for us.
It's an issue of volume. It's hard for an 18 year old to kill 20 people with their bard hands, or even knives, without being subdued.
Czech Republic requires you to pass knowledge exam and health examination. The "go to buy semi automatic and have it in an hour at 18" just does not exists there.

Also, use of gun in self-defense is way less permissive then in USA. The stuff that pass as self defense in USA simply would not in Czech - you truly have to have no other choice.
In some countries in Europe is legal to own guns, but still, the number of shootings per capita doesn't equal that in US.

So, arguing that people die by being shot is because people can own guns is the same to arguing that people die in car accidents because people are allowed to won cars.

I was an early backer but eventually canceled. The price tag was unjustified without better AR features. Their deliberate choice of “XR” to sound similar to AR/VR but not actually being AR or VR still feels like it’s going to end up producing a lot of eventual negative sentiment.

Still looks like a well developed product but I feel they are marketing it to people like AR glasses but in reality it’s just a TV style viewport projected like an AR screen would be projected.

>Canada is the U.S.'s neighbour and is probably closer, culturally, than any other nation.

Your point about cultural similarity holds true mainly for descendants of European immigrants. The shared culture here isn't just Marvel movies but values passed down among families from the Old Country like a Christian moral framework, Anglo-American law, the Protestant work ethic, Puritan attidues towards sex, etc. If you break America's homicides down by ethnic category, non-Hispanic whites have a murder rate per 100k of around 2.6 per annum [0]. Canada's murder rate hovers around 1.7. These numbers are roughly comparable, despite the many differences in firearm availability.

America's overall homicide rate is something like 5.7 per 100k per annum. This number is propped up by one ethnic group in particular, Afro-Americans, with a murder rate of over 20 per 100k per annum. This is not just a function of poverty. The white poverty rate is half that of Afro-Americans, yet the murder rate differs by a factor of 10. The Asian-American poverty rate is similarly half that of Afro-Americans, yet the murder rate differs by a factor of closer to 100 (10x less than that of white Americans).

Telling hundreds of millions of law-abiding Americans to disarm themselves because of social, cultural, and economic problems largely confined to a small & largely separate social group is a losing proposition. But asking why that group commits so many murders, even as the first step in bring that number down, is a political third rail too so here we are.

Its kind of discouraging to see the part where he says almost no one gets web tokens right the first time.

Very few except enhanced security but many drawbacks. For me, A2DP AAC support is big as an AirPods user. Remembering window location is also good.
But there are many countries in Europe that allow people to own guns. And, while we have less shootings per capita than in US, there were also attempts to do mass killings by other means:

Monorepos do require upkeep beyond that of single-product repositories. You need some form of discipline for how code is organized (is it by Java package? by product? etc). You need to decide how ownership works. You need to decide on (and implement) a common way to set up local environments. Crucially, you need to reevaluate all these decisions periodically and make changes.

On the other hand... this is all work you'd have to do anyways with multiple repositories. In the multi-repo scenario, it's even tougher to coordinate the dev environment, ownership, and organization principles - but the work isn't immediately obvious on checkout, so people don't always consider it.

Regarding auditing, I have always found that having all the code in one place is tremendously useful in terms of discoverability! Want to know where that class comes from? Guaranteed if it's not third-party, you know where it is.

Not to minimize the pain of poorly-managed monorepos - it's not a one-size-fits-all solution, and can definitely go sideways if left untended.

Public inquiry into the shootings at Dunblane Primary School (1996)
I'm the opposite (although I also watched Star Trek in my youth). My (Western) parents also got me to learn music, and I loved it. Still do. Not that I'm good: I've reached some intermediate difficulty level, but I really enjoy playing the classics, and discovering new music, as well as composing and mucking around with a computer and its incredible sound capabilities. Many like me wouldn't have found the wonderful gift of music, or would have found it very late in life if it hadn't been for our parents, so in a sense, I'm grateful for your offer.

I do agree that one should stop making children do things once it's become obvious that they don't enjoy it. 12 years is too long.

As someone who works at a company that used Heroku (I shut down our relatively dormant account) and Travis CI, this was a fun exercise.

This is not exactly related to the topic but in the course of this wider fiasco, we actually uncovered a bug in Github's audit logging.

The Travis CI app was removed at an org level by a Travis employee in the Middle East and to my knowledge, this wasn't publicised in advance so at first glance, it seemed kind of concerned.

Anyway, that org level event didn't actually propogate up to the enterprise/umbrella level. That is, you can have an umbrella consisting of multiple Github orgs and the audit logs are supposed to roll up into the umbrella audit log.

Anyway, we got confirmation a couple of days ago that it should be fixed now but worth a note if you used Github audit logs to respond to the Heroku incident or the Travis CI one
We got a new fancy coffee machine at work. Obviously with a big shiny touch screen attached. Best case, it requires 3 touch actions to get a standard coffee. One modal to select drink, one modal to select strength, one modal to confirm start. Some times, even more if it went into presentation mode where it brags about how good coffee it produces, requiring yet another touch to dismiss.

The old model. One physical button for coffee, one for cappuccino, one for espresso, one for tea water. Single press instantly gives you want you want. For more custom mixes you can optionally change the strength with another button on top before making your choice.

How is this progress? I don't want "engagement" with my coffee machine. I just want it to give me coffee with as little effort as possible. It's exactly like you say, someone was given the task to solve a coffee app, instead of looking at the actual problem first.
