I'm not shocked by any of this, because I've been studying nazis for a couple of decades and this is shit-tier propaganda. My question is who did you think you were going to convert with this drivel?
> This aggressive and putative new use is refuted by every founding principle of the common law in Anglo Saxon countries

Which founding principles, exactly? Your comment seems to imply you think we should live in a world where we are only allowed to pick our actions from an enumerated list of approved actions. That world is extremely contrary to the kind of world I would like to live in, but also seems to contradict most of what I know about the history of the western world. Is that really what you mean?
What you're describing is usually what happens when Democrats and Republicans compromise on things, but there's no reason that approach should define "centrism."

For example the Libertarian party is often described as fiscally "conservative" and socially "liberal." This approach takes the "best" ideas from either party, as opposed to splitting the difference on every issue.

What makes it illegal is that the visitor data is available to US law enforcement without any safeguards.

The scenario that you posit, the most troublesome part is AWS because Amazon is also subject to US law enforcement. It depends on a few specifics, most significantly 1) does the user connect directly to an AWS service, exposing their IP address? 2) does AWS manage the keys to your database?

If you were to instead self-host your DB or use an EU-located hosting provider, then the problems would not apply. You still have some homework to achieve GDPR compliance, but the tools don't require obtuse work-arounds.
This is a reasonable argument, but I'm not sure you're aware of allegations of this company altering evidence to better fit a police narrative: https://www.vice.com/en/article/qj8xbq/police-are-telling-sh...

I sincerely doubt there's any secret sauce to protect when they have "analysts" sitting around regularly "correcting" evidence.

I don't know about during a meeting, but my count of squirrels I've had to chase/escort out of my house currently stands at two. Although only one escort was successful. The other one I thought had left, but I found its desiccated body under the ashes in my fireplace about a week later.
did you read the definition of the very lowest tier of "very low food security" metric?

It's hilarious, 100 years ago people would laugh at such "hardships". Food availability isn't a problem in the U.S. for all but the extreme outliers. Now, education about nutrition is very likely a problem, but even the poorest of the poor can readily get the nutrition they need if they knew what they needed, but obviously even our rich don't understand nutrition.

The harshest measurement on the chart was someone who didn't eat for a full day over a 3 month period. I fast for many days at a time _because_ it's healthy. Our ancestors did not eat three meals a day and as a result our bodies are extremely adept at having irregular eating schedules.

We have an obesity epidemic in our poorest demographic. That says about everything that needs to be said, if you ask me.
They are being ordered to disclose and they are refusing to do it. The article says the lawyer requested to be held in "friendly contempt." I'm pretty sure that doesn't exist. It would probably be more accurate to say that the lawyer conceded the company was in contempt (i.e. they were refusing the order to produce and maybe even conceding it was legal) and was requesting a light sanction. The strategy seems rather bold.

I am not versed in Illinois contempt law, but judges have very broad constitutional authority to sanction people or companies for intentional failure to comply with a lawful order. In this case, you could expect the judge to do something like order the company to pay five thousand dollars per day until they disclose the records.

There could be an argument that the judge could legally order the sheriff to seize their servers or throw the CEO in jail until the company complies, but for some reason stuff like that doesn't seem to ever happen in the corporate context.
Litter was a much, much bigger problem than it currently is in Indian cities. It’s on the right trajectory. I went to Thailand 8 years ago and there was tons of litter, maybe it was a quick turnaround.

I like that this included a cross-grade from i386 to amd64. I wonder if anyone has ever migrated an install across different CPU types, like x86 to Arm. I guess it would be easyish with multiarch, qemu-user-static and the new crossgrading tool.

Improves compared to redrawing the whole component on every render(), as render() returns the whole component. But there's no improvement over redrawing only what's needed to be redrawn, plus VDOM overhead. I don't have enough to experience with Svelte, but I believe it's what it's doing.
I think it is a reference to “Cracking the Coding Interview”, a book that teaches you how to pass FAANG interviews.
I'm not talking about crackpots. I'm talking often qualified people who don't match the entrepreneur, small business owner, veteran, firefighter, nurse template that local bourgeoisie party leaders tend to endorse and find funding for.

IMO, this preference has lead to a clear preference for statism and state violence amongst our elected officials as the people who rise through the rabks tend toward an implicit trust in the institutions of the martial state from the criminal justice sysyem to a standing military.
I should have specifically mentioned that I was talking about India - Street view was not allowed till now because the indian government wanted to study the matter more deeply before framing policies for it. To understand the hesitancy of the government, recall if you've come across any secure government facilities any where in the world. Most such infrastructure will have a common warning painted or posted publicly stating "Photography is prohibited / not allowed". Allowing the process of collecting street view data (i.e. taking photographs / videos of a locality) by foreign companies would make such warning redundant and a joke, even if they didn't use the data in their applications - they are not even supposed to have such data in the first place.
True. That makes it very hard when you have to recite it back to a customer service person. Best just to use arbitrary, real words and then store the questions and answers in your password manager.
Plus "Most libraries are crap, they are written by junior developers." is nonsense and cannot be validated.

I definitely agree with being conservative about what you use but writing almost everything yourself is a disaster waiting to happen.

no, stop thinking of sides at all, and especially don't start with a side first. start with reasoned first principles (the constitution is a good start) and continue to reason your way to a position on any given issue that is consistent with those first principles, sides be damned. the only reason you pay attention to sides is identifying with and wanting to defend a side in the first place. don't worry about defending and entrenching. have earnest conversations. if your position is constantly getting barraged with hard-to-argue counterpoints, then consider changing your position. it's not that hard.
I usually recommend Smalltalk for similar reasons. When I was running a ST users group every so often we'd get people trying to sell us on various functional languages. My usual response was to (sincerely) say that if they built me as Smalltalk-like development environment in their language, I would definitely try it out. Still waiting.
The other day I read about a brain interface that uses a human's passively viewing things to notify an algorithm of a particular condition. I'm not describing it very well, but the point was that the human brain picks up on visual cues so quickly, even without processing them consciously, that the signals can sort of be hijacked by a program that is filtering visuals for a specific item or change in status.

I understood it as the first true implementation of a cyborg sense that goes beyond merely connecting the "same old" sensors and processors to yourself that you can already buy off the shelf. This is something that couldn't be picked up consciously by the person, and the sensor would not pick up the signal without the human brain response to it. It allowed for very rapidly sorting through images that were too fast to be seen consciously, but enough that the expected brain regions still reacted.

I really hope to hear more of this sort of hybrid brain-compute interface in the future. This is one way to use brain power that you aren't even aware is already there for use.

I'll update this reply if I find the link. Unless of course someone beats me to it.

Agree:

- Don’t use (almost) any libraries

- Redux is scrap - These days I use hooks and a tiny store with Immer, but I carry the golden lesson from Redux about one-directional data flow and UI as (mostly pure) function of state

- Centralizing API calls in one place

- Decoupling logic from components

- Any component that expects a state has a hook

- Components with index.js and index.scss

Less agree:

- CSS: Use styled components - I prefer Sass, CSS modules, Tailwind (gradually moving to latter)

- Route-based folder structure - Yes but more feature-based structure

- Native like Page Transition - Meh, not worth it unless done really well to improve UX

- Context - Never needed it
Let me introduce you to my mom's former landlord when I was a kid. Former rodeo cowboy who got into drugs. He broke into a house to steal shit to sell and when the homeowner came downstairs to investigate and the former landlord proceeded to smash in the homeowner's face with a ball-pin hammer to the point dental records could not be used to id the body. This guy had no history of violence. I'm sure the victim's wife would have preferred the cowboy being shot dead and keeping her loved one.

There were things I loved about Windows 8 over 7. The UI, however, was not one of them. For me, the killer feature for 8 over 7 or earlier was HyperV. Having local easily usable VMs was awesome. Now, with WSL 2, my need for HyperV has diminished, but it's still useful at times. HyperV was far more usable to me than VirtualBox. I'll admit I never tried VMware workstation, but I also wasn't going to pay what they were asking (at the time).
> The party, which is centrist, has no specific policies yet...

There is one I can think for starters: members that are not under heavy medications, less than retirement age and don’t drop dead if they walked a mile.
IP addresses for starters, which are considered personal data under the GDPR.

Keep in mind that the mere transfer of the IP address (which is inherent in a TCP connection and cannot be avoided in the default setup without proxying it yourself) is enough, regardless of whether Google will actually store said IP or anonymize it (not that you should trust them in any case).
Almost every book has interesting reference that the reader can choose to follow up on. I'm reading a mystery set in the 30s and took a happy diversion into colonial British officers.

I'm a science fiction fan and I like to approach books as though they were set in Jupiter in the far future. One of my beliefs is that great literature transcends the time and place of where it was written. I haven't been disappointed yet.

> Don't use Context, unless it's literally for if the user is logged in. Everything else should use some kind of 3rd party library (Mobx, Redux, Recoil, Zustand) that uses subscriptions to circumvent React's extremely slow and outdated way of rendering. Alternative: Use react-query for most date fetching / global state.

Most rendering is outside the scope of state management and it doesn't matter whether you use providers or redux to manage it.

Personally I find the hooks for context a MILLION times easier to work with than redux was. Redux has introduced a lot of unnecessary complexity to several apps I've worked with. There was a time when it was the best choice but no longer, in my opinion.

> Decoupling logic from components: 100% never do this. Ever.

Disagree. "Dumb" components are often ideal and work great with testing libraries.
That isn't a logical statement.

Global risk is increasing dramatically, so it only makes sense for net military expenditures to increase also.
Such model exists until around 2000 but no longer exists. I suspect that you met old laptop enthusiast group at the cafe since it's Akihabara.
Thanks! Very enlightening.

KDE is still the most used Linux DE.
Has RedHat ever made anything non-horrible? It popularized all of Poettering's abysmally overcomplicated designs (Systemd/Pulseaudio/etc), there was Ansible, GNOME, NetworkManager, OpenShift, RHEL kernels, they abandoned XOrg, killed off both CoreOS and CentOS. Podman is supposed to be good but I've never gotten it to work.
Can’t say I disagree with any of this.
Grafbase – Instant Serverless GraphQL Back Ends on Cloudflare DurableObject
Disk space = base, change in disk space = 1st derivative, rate of change = 2nd derivative.

Useful as a monitor for the rate of change in data intensive applications that sometimes spill to disk. Spikiness is okay if it reverts towards the base within a certain timeframe, but not okay if the rate of change persists or increases over same timeframe.
Drug derivatives are pretty common in chemistry and pharma. First-order derivatives are drugs that are created from the parent drug via just one chemical reaction. there are derivatives of derivatives which create (fun, lol) headaches for pharma licensing and marketing regulatory authorities.

Ecgonine is a tropane derivative from coca leaves and is convertible 2-carbomethoxytropinone and then cocaine. Another example is making buprenorphine from thebaine which is used for making oxycodone, oxymorphone, buprenorphine, naloxone and other opiate agonists. US Controlled substances act in 1986 spelled out the number of steps was irrelevant.

Another area we're seeing twice and third derivatives to get around regulatory & consumer purview is perfluoroalkyl chemicals ie PFOAs, PFAS, PFOS. Consumers and regulators start avoiding or banning some of them, let's just spin up some derivatives of the perfluorooctane sulfonic acids that they haven't cracked down on yet and put that in everything until the people become savvy and then we'll move on to newer harmful unbanned things!
Waste is not "therefore" a business opportunity, especially intellectual "waste".

Part of being a free person is the ability to choose how you spend your own time. Just because you consider other people's choices to be a "waste", doesn't mean a) the time is indeed "Wasted" or b) that the people making those choices want to change their decision and can't.
> Seems woefully inefficient - you don't get the strength of a machine or the intelligence of a human, it takes decades to produce, breaks easily and repair costs a fortune.

In a punitive justice system that would probably be considered a feature. There's already labour which is largely pointless, better done by machines, and harsh on the human body, but still used in prisons. E.g. I believe the nearest prison to me does light metalworking, concrete work (making paving tiles, flower pots, etc.) and other simple things that would probably be a lot more cost-effective to automate if the workers were being paid more than a few dollars per day.

If you can get the same work done with near-mechanical consistency, and also compel prisoners who would otherwise refuse to work and not have to worry about them taking unauthorised breaks / stealing tools or materials for improvised weapons / attempting to escape, why wouldn't you use it?

There's also plenty of other nightmare scenarios such as puppeting people for sex work, suicide bombings, etc... I'm sure there would be plenty of medical / assistive tech use cases for such a technology but the potential for abuse is huge, and that's where the horror comes from.

Intuitively I think you would be able to tell the difference between a jerk and a snap. In a car experiencing jerk, you would find yourself no longer able to balance against acceleration and you would sway. In a snap, you would not just sway, but really bounce around. Think the difference between hitting the gas pedal in ludicrous mode vs hitting the gas pedal while driving over potholes.

Crackle and pop, I have no idea if you could tell the difference.
Also the point about using Docker for GUI apps is crazy. I've never seen the need for such thing. AppImages, Flatpaks, heck even Snaps exist and allow developers to distribute applications along with the dependencies. They have their issues but they're good if the developer does not have much time to mess around with deps and testing in different distros, some users also prefer them due to "sandboxing".

I'm not saying Linux desktop is perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but it's not the clusterfuck NavinF is talking about.
It's clear that B.F. has been connected with Dragon Ball Z - until 2003. The name-link has been redirected to that page. IMDB knows he continued to write music for TV series a couple of times ... up through 2013.

So? Lots of people have jobs in the music industry. What makes each of them notable? He has his own website, if anyone has to know more.

There are thousands of people sure they oughta have a WP page. I'm glad WP doesn't always agree.
I like reading these kinds of stories because it's impressive to see system administration pros out there.

For me though (and I've never had a server this old), container images that have a declarative build structure that I can look at and modify in pieces is such a blessing to have.

"Discovery orders such as these typically cannot be appealed before final judgment is issued. However, contempt-of-court sanctions for violating a discovery order can be appealed. The request for a so-called “friendly” contempt-of-court order is designed to allow ShotSpotter to effectively appeal the discovery order by appealing the contempt order."
An AWS B2B play seems like a bad fit for facebooks culture. On the other hand I agree going deeper into ecommerce and payments (without the crypto baggage), it seems like a no brainer.
And I'm grateful people like you aren't actually able to implement pre-crime divisions!

It sounds arrogant, to me, to be so sure you know what the outcome will be of a given situation, considering all of the necessary ingredients for that outcome have existed for some time and what you claim is "inevitable" has still not happened.
> why you think crash reporting, render time, and privacy preserving analytics aren't giving benefits that users prefer,

I think that preferences are things that people express clearly, and you can either agree to honor them, or refuse to honor them. Or you can change the subject to render time, or to whether a corporation is a company.
I don’t think based on what I’m reading here that this is a criticism of coding during interviews so much as it is a criticism of candidate-hostile atmospheres in general. I’d also point out that social interactions are predicated on judging each other, and that this is healthy. It’s also not all one-sided. As an interviewee I choose to approach interviews as a process of satisfying my own curiosity and the curiosity of the potential employer about our viability as partners. That process doesn’t have to be a negative experience, and I don’t think a code screen or brain teaser really contributes directly to whether it is or not.
