> walk away from their SWORN DUTY to investigate

No, police have no "sworn duty" to investigate - you literally made this up out of your head.

“I, (state name), do solemnly swear or affirm that I will faithfully execute the duties of (state position) of the State of Texas, and will to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States and of Texas, so help me God.”

"I do solemnly affirm that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the position of ______________________ according to the best of my ability and perform my duties in a manner consistent with the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of New York."

They're all like this.

You buy a card with a unique id that grants access to any public bathroom cabin. Anyone with such card can report a cabin if it's a mess. If it is - the previous visitor's card gets banned. You also get banned for false reports. The maintainers of the bathroom verify the reports. The card needs to be expensive enough to not be disposable, but also cheap enough so that all social classes can afford it. Problem solved without any need for any private data, etc

Not being from Japan, I’m curious: how does this work in practice? If I were to go into a bathroom in Japan and smear my own shit all over the walls and leave, 1. how does anyone know I did it, 2. if somehow someone actually knew I did it, how exactly would I be shamed and ridiculed, and 3. how would that negatively affect me if I didn’t care about shame or was incapable of feeling shame.

Not really, you are assuming the people vote on a lot of decisions, which is not true. This is a problem related to permanence of executive power. The "cardinal Richelieu" problem (You know that while the government changes, he is above the government and stays. Most of the executive does not change at all when power changes hands at the legislative level).

Ever notice that executive power is the same everywhere? They think the laws are unfair to them, because they have to implement totally unrealistic laws, and get blamed harshly for "small" problems (you know, "harshly" except it doesn't carry any consequences for them, except, at best loss of face).

They respond by not following laws, refusing even to implement judicial directives and the like. Their own (sometimes personal) interest, for them, trumps laws and the directives of judges. They have largely made sure their names are never revealed to the people they serve, as they no longer have the support of the people, and they feel they cannot be replaced.

Maybe Go compiling to native binary with excellent performance and being somewhat "simple" (say, compared to Java 8 streams conveniences etc), has given rise to that impression. Though I wasn't under that impression myself (I think Go having a GC compared to usually more manual memory management by systems languages is a pretty significant difference).
AFAIK Go was and is primarily used to write back-end server software and this is commonly called "systems programming" (as opposed to application programming) too.

It is kinda confusing that the term is used for that and for low-level embedded/firmware/kernel programming, despite both areas having little in common with each other.

UTXO blockchains like Bitcoin were designed with the assumption that each address will only be used for 1 transaction for privacy reasons. There are no per-address fees to cash out. The fees sorta scale with how many UTXOs (incoming transactions) you’re combining to form an outgoing transaction.

>Open source is coming for your business. It is just a matter of time before there exists a compelling open source alternative to your software.

Are we really taking this seriously in the booming world of proprietary software / SAAS culture? Come on.

"All software will be open source, and no one will make money with software."

What a load of bullshit. First of all, humanity would be nicely off to have a set of open source resources that are at least usable to participate in society. And we've not reached this point, yet.

Second, what about OTHER proprietary alternatives? It's not like closed source is a fun club where they all respect each other's hard work and only original ideas boom. Somehow after the success of Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive and others become very popular. And no matter how many Syncthings and Open/Nextclouds there are, they still make a good amount of money - even Dropbox still exists.

"Being in print" or "new" a is not well-defined in this context. "Being in print" is only a metaphor, since the process of printing is typically completed when a copy of a book is sold (and makes not sense in the case of publishing-on-demand, where it would be equivalent to "is available"); and "new" can mean "in its original condition" or "recently published" (with some uncertainty what time span "recently" denotes).

A more precise criterion would be whether a book is still on its publisher's backlist. As far as "The UNIX Programming Environment" is concerned, the answer is positive. Its publisher Prentice Hall was aquired by Simon & Schuster and later sold to Pearson.[1] On Pearson's Web-site the book is still available.[2]

I’m not sure if growing is the hard part, however even here I would expect most people who have professional experience in legal agriculture to be better at it than underground pot growers. Is growing weed really that different than tomatoes or avocados?

Yes exactly ! Sory for confusion.
In the context of the difference between D# and Eb, 19-TET is very interesting to play around with. It adds an extra black key between every pair of white keys, and most songs intended for 12-TET still work fine, as long as you play sharps and flats as written. If you play a D# instead of an Eb, you suddenly get a very different sounding interval.

The challenge is when physical symptoms aren’t backed up by measurements of actual function.

When people complain of lung or heart problems but all tests are normal (oxygen levels, cardiac efficiency, lung capacity, exercise tolerance).

When people claim cognitive decline yet all measures of cognitive ability are normal.

It would point to a strong psychological component for at least some people - which was found in the study. Symptoms were correlated with those having a history of anxiety disorders (prior to Covid).

There was also another study (I can’t find it right now) of self-reported long Covid suffers.

They ran tests and many of them had never even been infected with Covid..ever.

This isn’t to say that post-viral syndromes aren’t real. But it does suggest that self-reporting isn’t all that accurate.

As someone who embraced mechanical keyboards, I’m sorry that people get this impression, which is totally deserved. People who use custom keyboards as a signaling mechanism degrade their perceived benefit. For me, programmability of the keyboard is the most important factor; then, ergonomics.
Nah, I'd rather be vague. ;-) The issue, I'm guessing, was that CockroachDB couldn't maintain the required latency bounds and availability past a certain point for the customer. Those are always where Aerospike wins (latency, availability, while scaling). milliseconds vs microseconds.

The limiting factor isn't how many operations the platform can handle, it's how many operations/transactions you can generate before the server will even break a sweat.

I'm just a lowly engineer, and while I'll say some stuff on a throwaway account, this is really the marketing department's purview.... Casual googling confirms it's public information that Schwab runs ... nearly everything on it, and it's a much smaller number of servers than you'd think.

I don't think that's quite GP's claim. They're not necessarily saying that organs and keyboards of the same heritage had different tuning (though it's well documented that instruments had different tuning according to region even through the 1700s and 1800s), rather that historic organs which retain their original temperament sound very different to modern keyboards.
Here's an article supporting this. It refers to different rates of beating in different tuning regimes, comparing equal temperament to 'cornet-ton' type things.

Because it's common for organs to be hundreds of years old, and it's common for people to want historic organs to sound as close to how they did when they were made as possible because it's uncommon for them to play in non-vocal ensemble, this leads to a relatively common situation where an organ played today may well be tuned very differently to a piano played today. Depending on the organ.

https://www.eunomios.org/contrib/francis2/francis2.pdf

Here is a second article on organs by one manufacturer tuned in 'meantone' https://www.bach-cantatas.com/Topics/Meantone.htm. It's also the case that harpsichords were commonly tuned in meantone https://www.harpsichord.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/te... which might actually support the claim that historic non-organ keyboards sounded different from organ keyboards (specifically, if Bach didn't like the mean-tone organs he played and it was common to tune harpsichords in meantone, that would seem to provide some evidence for both temperaments existing and sounding different on the different types of instrument in the same historic period).

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about, and have never used it. If you had, you wouldn't think of it as "nosql".

It's... more like a real time data processing platform, I honestly don't know of an existing category or comparable software.

At first glance it looks like a kvs database with a lot of bells and whistles. After you learn more, though, you realize it's not "just" a database -- you write your application with the Aerospike client library, using expressions, data modeling, CDTs, &c. Not using it as a black box for storing data.

I don't want to mislead anyone here, 'continally' means that was the case every time and that was quite a few but it was over some years - certainly not every few weeks or even months.

On the other hand, another program I purchased for several hundred dollars reqired activation but was much easier to deal with. Despite my vow, it was one of those situations where I needed a quick solution so I purchased it fully expecting the same trouble (note, there was no indication on the website about the activation process).

So to avoid any inconvenience through downtime, I inquired what happens in such circumstances and the almost immediate reply was 'there's no problem reactivating it so long as you don't do so too often within a given week'. Note, there was no need to inform the company beforehand.

From my experience, that's definitely the exception to the norm, so not all software companies are unreasonable.
Black&White-tv was almost HD, 625x625. Then they added 3Mhz color-carrier in 1966 and it was 300x300 with this color-furze on top. This sucked so much. There was nothing I wanted see in living color. Especially winter-sports were mostly BW.

I remember that color movies sucked also in 1950s. Technicolor has annoying fuzziness around objects. See Wizard of Oz.
As a non-native English speaker myself, I've known about GIMP the software years before I was familiar with "gimp" as an insult. It's kind of like Git, an odd British insult that we in the free software community know as the leading version control system.

Proprietary software is often stupidly named too, yet we take it seriously. I feel like for some people it's not the name, but the lack of associated cost that moves GIMP to the 'hobby utility' category for them.

(And yes, I'm aware Linus named Git as an insult on purpose and that he wanted to call Linux something weird too, like Freax - the questions is, why does it matter?)

A study was done on alumina in the atmosphere and 5,000 tons/yr doesn't seem dangerous. The study notes that because of the 3.8 g cm−3 density it falls quickly compared to other particles. The density is much higher than the chlorofluorocarbons that stick around and damage the ozone layer. It assumes ~4,000,000 tons/year that causes 3.7% ozone depletion. 5,000 tons/year might have effects, but it doesn't look like a show stopper in terms of cooling and ozone depletion. Hard to draw firm conclusion since they studied a purposeful geoengineering plan, but it doesn't add up with a sanity check.

If a machine comes with 30 screws, you just don't remove 20 screws randomly and expect the machine work as well as before. Is clearly a bad idea.

First off, the work is not complete yet. E.g. there is no CMYK image mode. You can open a CMYK image with automatic conversion to sRGB, you can also do a soft-proof, and you can export CMYK images (JPEG, TIFF, PSD). This part is comparatively cheap to do, but it needed some infrastructure in place and, above all, it needed someone to write the code.

The previous attempt to add CMYK exporting didn't go well. The developer implemented all that in a new set of plugins instead of building the functionality into existing code. This wouldn't work. The developer apparently wasn't interested to do it right or did not have the time, he wouldn't say.

So there's the architectural aspect of this and then there's availability of a contributor willing to hacks on this.
