"..and actual worthwhile subjects" as defined by who ?

Most people gain absolutely nothing learning more math and science which is why they don't bother. Most people do however gain something learning about sports stats, celebrity/political gossip, etc. because they can then relate to the masses better and be social[0]. The content is also easier to assimilate, like junk food.

A person needs a "why" to learn more about challenging subjects to justify the effort. For me it just became part of my identity.

[0] As a side note, I recall a blind date TV show where the young successful founder of a competitor to PayPal (WePay?) was being coached by his match maker. "you need to learn more about celebrities", she said, "women like gossip.". His expression (or maybe it was mine) was one that implied he'd rather run a spike through his hand.
That was quick, flagged and dead in less than 20min.

They could ask for the information to be under seal to protect their commercial interests.

The actual technology is not all that complex. Transient detection and triangulation by decorrelation from a microphone (edit: not microwave!) array. You could probably prototype it in a week if you leaned on an established FFT library. Obviously they would not want to reveal their source code and so on, but if you know digital audio you know this isn't that hard.

I think what they really want to conceal is not the technology but its use in operation. I don't know what Chicago pays for the service, but Sacramento CA spends about $1m a year on it and Sac is a fairly small city.

no, you don't have to think in sides. you can have a position and discuss your position with others. you don't have to think of them as your enemy, but rather your conversation partner, someone who can help you expand your perspective and perhaps even change your mind.
If I’m understanding your reply, you seem to think that it should be obvious to anyone with an understanding of how guns work, that this idea wouldn’t work/isn’t feasible/is a bad idea in some other way. So, wouldn’t it be more productive and informative to state that opinion and support it?
My Notes on Gitlab's Postgres Schema Design (2022)
There is not always a reason. Onions in the varnish are a thing; and spring lock washers are exactly that.

A bolt being tightened all the way and then some is what constitutes preload. A bolt connects two parts via preload: the tension in the bolt. You must overcome that much force to separate those parts.

The bit of tension in some dainty washer before the bolt is tightened means absolutely nothing.

If there were some application that for some strange reason requires a very light torque, the washer could be useful; but it wouldn't be locking anything. How it could be useful is by creating a softer range of torque: a range where the torque increases slowly relative to the turn rate.

A bolt normally has no torque until it's tightened all the way, and then rapidly rising torque from there. The washer could create a more rounded knee there; and the only possible reason that would ever be useful is if the application stayed in the operating area of that knee!

There are devices in which a nut compresses a spring to a variable amount, like preload in suspensions, or resistance in exercise equipment and such. That is not a fastener application; it has nothing to do with locking.
> Most (all?) of those decisions were going to come down the same way regardless; the judge (or clerk or amicus brief author or whoever) had already decided and the citations are just a way of making up a post-facto justification.

It's true that since they find that the gain appears to be concentrated in 'positive' citations, used as justification, they probably didn't flip many decisions immediately (if any). But they also do followup linguistic analysis to show that (like the earlier studies) judges are borrowing language in describing their decisions. So you are going to have an accumulating effect here where the citations at zeroth order are used for justification, but that makes those cases better known later on, and they will be described as the article describes, and increasingly interpreted that way when read by later judges due to being precedent, and who will then copy it (that's how common law is supposed to work!). And that may well start begin flipping cases.
In the ideal sense, we go strictly chemical on this & track the chemical outputs from a given process. From there, the chemical/resource inputs are taken into account to get (supposed resulting emissions + inefficiency overhead + 5% padding).

With those emission outputs in hand, a table of carbon prices is referred to before the final tally is made.
> Besides which, the article was written by someone who was also around and claims insider knowledge closer in time to the events than when Miguel was involved with Gnome.

He's talking about 2006-2010; during these times he was mostly doing desktop support, it looks like-- occasionally contributing to various online Linux zines. He wrote a similar article in 2013 for The Register. He spent 3 months as a tech writer for Red Hat on JBoss stuff in 2014. Then he did spend 2017-2021 doing tech writer work for SuSe.

> Miguel is hardly enough of a household name

Man... I would have a hard time thinking of more than 4-5 people who were equally prominent in the open source zeitgeist of those years.

> nor does he appear to have been involved with RedHat circa Gnome 3

He certainly was still plugged into the Gnome Foundation and going to the various Gnome meetups, etc, while in a senior role at a Linux vendor doing stuff with Gnome. If there was a problem, I'd think he'd have heard about it.
The cops can only raid if there is probable cause of a crime, rather than a civil tort. But in principle, the person refusing to comply with the discovery order can be locked up in jail until the info is forthcoming. I don't think that is supposed to happen in this case.
> Human attention generally isn't zero sum like that

How so? There's only 24 hours in a day, and so many things to do in them. During those hours, one can pay attention to multiple topics but even then, the time limit means only so many details and thinking time can be acquired during them.
The main reason to ask for "friendly contempt" (as per your article) is to get a contempt order in place so it can be appealed. Until then, there is no reason for an appeals court to look at the decision.

So this is the lawyer asking to appeal the original judge's order of disclosure, and this is the obscure process that makes that happen.

JavaScript isn't single threaded anymore. There's workers and even at the C++ extension native add-ons are exposed to libuv threading.

But even in single threaded JS, asynchronous handlers can result in concurrent race conditions. That's why concurrency control is necessary. I also maintain https://github.com/MatrixAI/js-async-locks repo to help control all sorts of concurrent effects.

My "budget" NAS can trivially saturate 10 GbE with a pair of Samsung SSD 980 PRO 2TB. It cannot saturate my 100 GbE connection. While it's true that TrueNAS perhaps can't quite get the same performance that you could get from XFS on the same hardware, that's really irrelevant for me as the features (snapshots and send) and data integrity is far more important.

As someone who spends an inordinate amount of time actually vetting libraries I might use actually reading their source and getting a sense of their activity and response to feedback, and by seriously considering whether I’d be better off duplicating their efforts: I agree wholeheartedly.

For folks who don’t agree wholeheartedly, I’d highly recommend spending the time to read through libraries you’d instinctively reject. It’s incredibly eye opening. The stuff you’d reject anyway is almost always easy to spot. The stuff you’d make an exception for is almost always an educational experience about the complexities of what the particular library solves, and may give you insight into its domain or a very sound warning you don’t have or want to wander into its domain.

I think you misread the thrust of this comment. Commenter was likely alluding not to R&D, but an amphibious invasion, as to how it would end up being China. Obviously I don't know how much of that infrastructure would persist to be carried off after that invasion, but it would reasonably be considered 'lost' to the US.

The article is written by a Youtuber for his Youtube content creation. If you're going to extend the scope to feature films and music videos because that's what you're used to, obviously my assumptions won't be valid. I'm not biking to work on a $15k carbon fiber bike or storing my left over dinner in a walk in freezer either.

And I repeat another point. Using his own numbers, this editing NAS has space for over 220 hours, more than 9 consecutive days. What kind of music video production even has that much video footage? Like I wrote in my initial comment, I fully understand using plenty of uncompressed video while editing, it's the saving of hundreds of GB per finished and delivered Youtube video I question.
Yes I'm talking about snapshot isolation when implemented as a concurrency control system in databases.

But I don't think they used STM approaches to do it. So STM works nicely inside languages like Haskell, but when you work with a library database you can gain similar behaviour by using a key value database that has SI.
But that isn't exclusive to FAANG. The problem with non-FAANG companies is they can have all these problems too - and don't have the benefit of being FAANG.

You could go work for some insurance company's cost center IT department and experience all of those same negatives while experiencing none of the positives that a FAANG brings to the plate to your career.

(For argument's sake, by "FAANG", let's refer to all similar "top" tech companies, not just the companies represented by those 5 letters)
Netflix has much bigger problems than Facebook. Meta only has one real competitor right now, and they can easily coexist since they’re both free. Netflix is actively being canibalized by the rest of the media market because it turns out that making tv and movies isn’t a zero marginal cost business and is largely a zero sum game.

> The defense also requested ShotSpotter produce any data on sensors misidentifying gunfire or the location of alerts, as well as data on gunfire ShotSpotter failed to identify.

I frequently misunderstand how features work in common applications, especially nuances of models and processes; so I can only imagine the difficulty gaining a precise understanding and context for a non technical person; e.g. a lawyer or jury.

Unrelated: as someone not from Chicago, it's surprising that a company exists solely to detect gunshots. Depressing.
Pretty sure the scenario you described with an actual police officer does not count as probable cause either. You can't just start detaining people because you heard fireworks, even if you mistook it for a gunshot.
no, why should it? i want those things for disadvantaged groups as well. that doesn't mean that i've chosen a side and will defend it to the death against the bad ol' "others". everyone can be part of the same tribe. no other tribe needed. and it's ok if we don't all agree on the same things at the same time.

(i'm not going to pretend that i'm always cool, calm and collected in real life. far from it, i'm as flawed as the next person. but when it comes to thinking about this stuff, and striving to be more consistent with my own principles, this is the way i think myself out of all the partisanship i see around me.)
I don't think anyone truly intends ill. However, someone who chooses a technology that doesn't have real evidence of working as well as it's advertised, and then uses applications of that technology on primarily minority populations, the result can only be concluded as illness on the people.

I would tell juniors not to work for people who refuse to use libraries in JavaScript. You just can't do that and be productive. You'd have to build a standard lib from scratch, including unit tests.

There are lots of bad JS libraries but there are also some good ones that are mature, well-tested, and supported. Refusing to use them is a waste of time and money.

In the context of security, it's also professional malpractice.
I wonder if we will see a trend of moving away from algorithmic feeds and more towards services that allow for the humanization of the content aggregation process. I know from my personal habits, I have a list of about 5-10 different sub-reddits that I frequently visit to find content instead of the content coming directly to me. The people posting within those communities sort of act like a humanized algorithm for determining what content is worth seeing. I’ve noticed in particular that the communities of the content creators that I follow being some of the best aggregators for sharing content of interest to me. I find that the communities that form around the creators being some of the strongest and most tightly knit in the modern web.

I’ve actually been working on an app https://aurdia.com to better organize and facilitate the growth of the communities formed around content creators. I’m hoping to help build a healthier web less reliant on advertisements and the data collection that comes along with it.

Connections Academy's been doing fine by my kids so far, the one that's old enough for it has been getting decent mid-90ths on the state assessments.

It's running a Pearson based curriculum that allows for a decent amount of flexibility and one-on-one teacher interaction. No blockers for working ahead, decent comprehension checks. Lots of opportunities to go off into the weeds.

The big drawback is it does need a parent to help teach it at the younger years, so I get to do most of my coding at night during the school year, but I haven't had any complaints so far.

There may come a day where someone is truly the passenger in the driver's seat in a car, like a person riding a bus.

Today is not that day. Nor is it next year. Or this decade.

A whole lot of people are going to die this decade, both drivers and victims hit, because marketing wants people to believe you don't have to pay attention once you turn it on rather it's an assist, not a replacement, for the driver.

It's not autopilot right now. It's driver assist. As long as the driver exists, the driver is responsible.

In an "old school" car, if an accelerator gets stuck and you mow someone down, then they find spaghetti code in the accelerator or it mechanically got stuck from design failure, you still have liability for killing someone but your prosecution won't be the same as someone who purposely drove over someone they were angry with.

Haven't seen Strange's book, looks interesting, but a couple things have changed since 1970.

One I have seen and strongly recommend is "Computer Music: synthesis, composition, and performance" by Dodge and Jerse (1997 2nd Ed.). It's a great technical -but readable- reference to learn important bottom-up concepts in detail (including graphs and equations). No computer needed! (Of course, some things have changed since 1997 too. But basics are basics.)
What do you mean, old and extrapolated data? The ERCOT dashboard is giving today's data. The price spikes the last few weeks have been during the day. And the prices have been well above the levelized cost of solar.

I understand there is a large amount of solar in the pipeline in Texas. It's a no-brainer at this point.

Yes, Texas has reactors. Sunk costs are sunk. It would make no sense to build more, which is what that Exelon quote was saying. Really, it makes no sense to start a new reactor build anywhere in the US. All the AP 1000 efforts aside from Vogtle 3/4 have been terminated.

That’s what I didn’t understand. If you want this accessible over a network, you wouldn’t want to use a direct thunderbolt connection. As mentioned below, you could try 25Gbps Ethernet, but you’d also need to upgrade the clients. I assume the clients are currently 10GigE (copper?). As it is, you’re pretty much saturating the network bandwidth. Really, he could have also saturated the bandwidth with spinning HDDs too, given enough of them.
If the police officer was lying about hearing a gunshot to perform an illegal search, or the police officer used the “I heard a gunshot” excuse six times a day, then that would be a problem.
