> So why is this not discussed by the media and mostly Democratic politicians, especially when it ravages blacks in urban communities that are governed by politicians that are Democrats?

One of the "facts are the facts" things you seem to have missed is gun related deaths are highest (by far) in the Republican states. I don't whether that means it's a Republican or Democrat issue. I'm not from the USA I don't know the politics that well, but from a distance, it does look like it's mainly Republicans who say things like "the answer to the gun problem is more people wearing guns".

As for black vs white. There is a kernel of truth there - there is more violence in black communities, about double the death rates from what I can tell. But blacks only constitute 13% of the USA population. If you remove them the USA gun rates are still far higher than rest of the world - and that statistical difference is caused by the 80% white population, not the blacks.

And that's just homicides. Most gun related deaths are suicides, which are also obscenely high in the USA. When it comes to suicides, the figures are reversed - whites have over double the rates of blacks. That means when you include all gun related deaths, the whites actually worse rates than the blacks.

> more concerned about a political talking point than finding the root cause of the issue.

That is a downright weird observation. It was _you_ who introduced the Republican / Democrat divide here as a talking point, not some politician. It was you who brought in the largely irrelevant race issue, rather looking for a root cause. If you looking change the discussion into an honest one that might address the issue (assuming you want it addressed), then I'd start with the person in the mirror. If you can change him, you can probably convince anyone.

> You can't lead developers if you have no clue about developing. Sorry.

I’ve been both a developer and a development manager (and a few other things), and once upon a time I would have agreed wholeheartedly with this.

Then about 10 years ago I started working with the best PM I have ever known. He is absolutely not technical.

He is, however, a great listener, opionated about protecting people from burnout and dumb processes, honest to a fault, and able to speak candidly and openly to techs, devs, execs, and everything in between, switching language as he goes.

On one project we worked on, I had an advisory role and he ran the development sprints. He was amazing at understanding what the devs needed and managing the manager’s unrealistic expectations of how quickly things could be done.

He also put his foot down and insisted that everything flow through him, to be integrated into schedules based on, well, balancing everything else with business priorities.

It took a some time for the devs to trust him, and it took a lot of soft skill work on his part to gain that trust, but before long they realized their weeks were pretty evenly balanced.

The first big win was no more high priority interrupts from the manager, who had to work through him. That helped a lot.

He knows nothing about development, in the sense of having no idea how to do it.

He does know people and knows how understand what they need.

FWIW, YMMV. He’s a rare breed.
The searching encrypted content problem goes away once you build an MS Outlook-ish standalone desktop (or otherwise offline-first, in the case of mobile) email client app which builds local-only indexes.

The real cost (or long-term benefit) is you'll need a bit more local storage to have your cake and eat it privately.
I mean git is also trustless and decentralised

He would have to report that after the fact, right?
Most startups offer a 90 day window to exercise after you leave. Some companies have extended that to longer (caveat being they convert to NSO grants after 90 days).
If the on-die ECC reduces the error rate but the lack of standard channel ECC increases the error rate, because of the much more demanding signals, then it's not clear at all that the overall rate of error will lower.

In fact it could very well be higher depending on how the physical module is designed.

I imagine some portion of bit-flip induced reboots are due to the actual DRAM chips, but also some portion will be due to everything else that can bit flip both on the memory module itself and in the interconnect.

I haven't seen anything yet to say that DRAM chip bit flips will be in the majority.

This is how it's supposed to be done: Private companies deciding what to pay their workers. I applaud Apple in this decision.
DC v Heller was decided in 2008, so "extremely well settled" is false. There was significant dissent leading up to that decision, including Circuit Judge Henderson who wrote:

>Under United States v. Miller, 307 U.S. at 178, the Second Amendment's declaration and guarantee that "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" relates to the Militia of the States only.

Also of interest are the amicus briefs. At the time Texas Attorney General but now Governor Greg Abbott, submitted a brief authored by Abbott's solicitor general, Ted Cruz, advising that the case be affirmed. I wonder if they have any second thoughts now, and if they did, if they would admit it?
I don't really have a good answer, except that I don't do any frame batching that would cause delays, and that my UDP protocol ships the frames (and audio) out as soon as they are ready, as to reduce latency to a minimum.

> combative attitude

The assumption of me wanting to fight comes as a surprise, but you got hold of the wrong end of the stick.
You make good points, it would be difficult and expensive. An armed single entry gate was what I had in mind. But it wouldn't be completely useless or even harmful, like arming teachers would be.

It's also true that the shooter could just go the mall or a cinema and get a similar result. Attacking the school does seem to have a particular significance however.
Well, yet another good reason to just scare them away!
This resonated with me in so many ways. I frequently use the “garden” analogy and I think developing software efficiently in small teams is absolutely crucial. Society wastes so much time, effort and goodwill on unqualified software project (mis)management.

I have lost two important (to me) jobs because I refused to adopt stupid, inefficient processes handed down by non-technical “managers” who thought they knew how to manage developers better than I did, despite my 30 years of experience.

Reading this almost made me cry. If I could upvote this a thousand times then I would.
This just reads like straight racism against Middle Easterners & Islam. There are billions of migratory birds in the USA and much greater freedom of travel in the USA than Saudi Arabia. Millions of tourists, business persons, and visitors come to the US every day. And the US also has much higher numbers and density of factory poultry farms.

There is no reason to make a complicated argument that the Bird Flu will start in Saudi Arabia due to Islam. It will probably start in the good ol' USA.

Do you have evidence that Proton does not actually encrypt their emails?

>Real privacy is not the result of some product,

I do wholeheartedly agree with this, at least. Privacy is a scale and there are many, many pieces which tip the scale one way or the other.
The privacy of GMail is good enough, if not better than ProtonMail. Client side encryption also comes with downsides since they can't allow third party email clients to work and you have to do all processing client side.
yeah, Stipe is a not something that can be dismissed as a fad like Palaton. no comparison.
I am also trying to get better at this. I find that a lot of my own non-critical thinking hinges on assumptions I've treated almost as axioms. So perhaps a good place to start would be working on identifying the underlying assumptions in a statement or argument.
I think this is almost a case of a company being too successful. The general pattern is that you grow, you raise money, you grow, you raise money, you grow, your IPO. At each stage of growth there's a different investor. Initially you have Angels and YC style places. Then you have various stages of VC, then you finally have the public market.

What normally happens is that you become too big and that's when VCs step out of the way, you IPO and everyone takes their gains. But in the case of stripe you have $100Bn company that the VCs will still happily plough money into. So there's no reason to IPO. You can get all the liquidity you need privately. On top of that, Stripe doesn't really need capital, they aren't some uber buying market share with loss making. They are real SAAS, they can scale and see a drop in their earnings:cost ratio.
Yeah this was a great article overall but that stood out as sus. Also the “last few hours found the most stuff”. Seems like they could probably stop the audit once they found enough problems, which skewed hard to easy to find and or last time to look.
A quick moral rule of thumb I use:

"What would I expect to do if I found myself in this situation"

The police leadership won't give the order to storm the building. My own kids are trapped in the building. I think I would reasonably break ranks and try to rescue my kids. I'd like to think I'd try and rescue some other kids too, but I may be bullshitting myself there.

Anyway, I don't think the cops who went in for their own kids are evil. Seems very understandable.
> I don’t think the game is unfair

I disagree. It is very intentionally unfair. Two against one bosses where one has long range attacks and one is melee? One shot kills? Losing all your level progress when you die and being unable to retrieve them? This breaks a lot of the common game formulas. It forces you to just "get good" and think about your gameplay differently. But that's exactly what I like about the game. When you're getting you ass handed to you you often can't just come back at a higher level, but need to actually take new strategies. You can for the main questline but outside that you need to "get good"

In digging on it, Ancient Supercontinents and the Paleogeography of Earth looks to be an interesting book https://www.sciencedirect.com/book/9780128185339/ancient-sup...

This appears to be part of a geologic scale cycle - https://www.livescience.com/38218-facts-about-pangaea.html

> The current configuration of continents is unlikely to be the last. Supercontinents have formed several times in Earth's history, only to be split off into new continents. Right now for instance, Australia is inching toward Asia, and the eastern portion of Africa is slowly peeling off from the rest of the continent.

> Based on the emergence of other supercontinents in the Precambrian supereon (4.5 billion to 541 million years ago), it appears that supercontinents occur periodically every 750 million years, according to a 2012 study in the journal Gondwana Research (opens in new tab).

> Most scientists believe that the supercontinent cycle is largely driven by circulation dynamics in the mantle, according to a 2010 article in the Journal of Geodynamics (opens in new tab).

Water/land hemispheres would then be an artifact of that cycle. Given that cycle, it will happen again - https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-think-earth-s-next-s...

>Should my salary as a dev be a function of what a janitor makes?

Should definitely not be more than FIVE times what he makes. Because you're not 5x smarter, efficient, or important as FIVE (5) janitors. Period.

And if you think you are and you're using the "free market" as a factor, well then I'm sure you think BTC should of ever been worth 60k or that Tesla should be worth $900 a share.

It's incredible that people plant their morality within the confines of a "definitely rational market that's definitely not experiencing a bubble".

You're entitled to your opinion, and by all means share it—but in my earnest (peasant, non-leet) opinion, I think I can draw a straighter, truer, more direct corollary from a persons idea of what fair is (no matter how opaque) than I can from whatever bullshit he types in as a reply.

Agree to definitely disagree. No apologies.
Thanks! But it is actually an old field by now, and there are quite a few conferences for it. Although automated theorem proving and interactive theorem proving have developed on different tracks, they are slowly converging in the last 15 years or so.
I don’t know. I don’t think all “commoditization” of privacy is a bad thing. WhatsApp commoditized it, Signal; SSL/TLS; Tor; Privacy Coins; these all vastly improved the privacy of comms on the planet. One needs to determine outcomes rather than declaring it app disasters.

maybe democratizing privacy is a better way to phrase than commoditization — which implies some cost savings rather than the just consumer availability.

Go was originally advertised as Google "sponsoring" Rob Pike & Co. to create a programming language. For a while it even sounded like the Java, Python, C++ devs at Google didn't even like it.

The website focused on the programming language, was basically in Plan 9 style, no nonsense, the programming language sane and very cross-platform.

Things changed. Now one has to scroll through big company brands and marketing blabla to even get a glimpse of the language, there's big Google logos, everything is JavaScript heavy, really well written[1] tutorials got hidden and there is now tutorials with mistakes and bad code that got pointed out[2], but are "won't fix", a programming language where people used to admit that new() is kind of redundant and maybe wasn't the idea tries to pull in random programming language features[3]. On top of that it was a programming language starting out to embrace the fact that there are many different operating systems officially supporting even Plan 9, DragonFly, etc., but after already having started to hollow that out creating tiers it seems they now completely want to shift away from that[4]. And then of course there's things like the module proxy causing issues.

People got their hopes up, but it almost feels like Google is pulling an embrace, extend, extinguish on Go - or at least its original design. But I still hope that I am just seeing things that aren't there.

You're making a wildly different claim than the initial one. The initial claim is "obviously Gmail and such are piped directly into global intelligence databases". Portals for law enforcement which likely require some kind of warrant and very likely have regular audits are not slightly the same thing as directly piping the data to the intelligence community. As for "their inter-datacenter communications were being piped directly", that was revealed by Snowden and you correctly used the past tense "were". Is there evidence that either Alphabet or Meta are giving direct access to their users' data beyond what the law requires?

It was a meme in the "webscale" era that SQLite couldn't scale to many users, and was effectively something to use in desktop and client-side applications like mobile apps.

There have been times I've been talked down to in the past for using SQLite, so I just learned to shut up about it around ideologues. Now the tide is turning when it comes to webscale assumptions, and some of those ideologues' ideas have been proven wrong in many aspects.

SQLite performs well in read-heavy loads, even in web apps with many users, so it can fit those use cases well.

It's far easier to tell the story of a handful of people than of thousands. The only successful approach to the latter is selecting some at random and telling their stories - but that still leaves most people out. I think it's an interesting and hard problem to tell a comprehensive story about a large group, but I'm not really sure if it can be done. Even Howard Zinn focused on (usually unsuccessful) opposition leaders more than the everyman in his narrative! In any event, I'd love to see someone succeed at making such a narrative, not necessarily about Stripe, but about anything really.
