Without doxing yourself can you give a general idea where this place is? Do you know lots of people that have experienced theft and you are just lucky, or is it unusual? I don't think I even know anyone who hasn't had packages stolen or a car broken into or stuff taken from their yard at least. One guy where I used to live went in to get some water while mowing his front yard and came back as people drove away with his lawnmower in the bed of their truck. I think he got that one back and they got the theives.
Would love to get proper hdr support on Ubuntu. Furthermore there doesn't seem to be display-stream compression support, so I can't get 5160x1440 @ 240 Hz :/ - "just" 3840x1080, which to be fair, is still many pixels, but..
I can see how you might think that, but no.

Have lived in LA, Santa Cruz, SJ, SF, DC, New York and PA. SF is the only city where I have had my car broken into and all of my things stolen. Told the police I found literally at the Starbucks two parking spots away from my car and they legit declined to look into it.
I left my car unlocked by mistake in my buildings garage (the gate's not working for some time). Lost my sunglasses, mint and charging cable. They'd get in for anything. When I moved to SF, everyone told me to not leave anything, not even change in the car. Seemed extreme, but kind of true.

My friend lost locked bike from his locked garage in apartment building few days ago.
I never understood the defund police movement.
FWIW, I never experienced any theft when living in Switzerland, Germany, or Pittsburgh, and only one minor theft while living in San Diego (a nice pair of garden clippers).

I mean... Are you saying that there is social inequality?

There is a risk/reward analysis that should go into the decision to loot a Walgreens. If you have nothing to lose or are desperate you're more likely to give 0 fucks and the system just has to deal with you.

>that’s all they assert

Nah, chess.com asserts that he's cheating more than he admitted to. While Carlsen asserts that Hans cheated on OTB games against him. No clear evidence on any of those things.

Also, chess.com is far from an authority here, plus, there's a conflict of interest. They would have to show with some method that a court considers valid (much better than "trust me, bro ;)") that Hans was cheating. Disregarding the underlying truth, something like that is quite difficult to prove.

Making all the right moves and "you can't be that good" is not evidence of cheating, they have to prove that there was an artifact/device/technique being used by Hans to win. Good luck with that.

No, it's not true everywhere. Where I live people don't lock their doors and leave their keys in the ignition. I'm not hyperbolizing, that's the literal truth.

The distinction is that this isn't just a small town, it's a town with a strong community and it's just out of the way enough to be unappealing to transients.
You just don’t sidewall then. Many people don’t walk and instead drive or Uber everywhere. For them it’s a non-problem.
Emotion and Reason in Political Language
I tried to get a new position in June/July. I asked for slightly above top salary bands for language/stack. I also tried to find a place without daily standups. I did many interviews/rounds/tests with a dozen places but never got that final offer either. It was strange the number of interview rounds at different places without even lowball offer. It felt like people were just interviewing to interview but too afraid to make the offer. After a month I stopped the process and just remained at my current job.

I think companies are afraid to hire but hr needs to do things so they interview.

Half of the places I interviewed are still looking for that senior developer and have new monthly job ads. There is something preventing hiring and a different force pushing for conversations/interviews
Everyone is different, so it's hard to tell if someone's recommendation fits another person. Here's what I do though to manage my experience. I have a private list (that no-one can see) and add only a select group of people. That list changes over time as my own interests and other people change too. This weeds out destructive and negative content and helps interact with interesting people.
> Porn is enjoyable, but pales in comparison to a real interaction with a real live person.

I find this to be true as well, but I would wager many strongly disagree with this statement based on their own experiences.
Switzerland had a huge heroin problem. They fixed it by decriminalization and treating it as the medical problem it really is. You can now get the addictive drugs injected at your doctor's office. Both petty theft and addiction plummeted. So it's not the addictive drugs causing these things. It's the policy around drugs that is causing it.

See also how Portugal reduced a widespread heroin and crime problem.
Different take! I like the idea but have concerns over adversarial abuse - mainly because you've been vague over what it does.

But I guess a beeping noise in the car stereo to indicate direction of the [thing] would be ok.
What the heck is an SEO Salary?
I was in San Francisco last week for work. A homeless guy show me his d1ck. Another homeless guy in a wheelchair smoked crack in plain view, on the corner of Ellis and Stockton. And finally another homeless guy was screaming at the elderly Chinese ladies doing tai chi in Washington Square Park. This was just a walk from my hotel to Pier 39.

With all that said, San Francisco is a beautiful city.
This is total nonsense. Wealthy professionals regularly get away with much more egregious thefts than petty shoplifting, the police do a lot more harassment of poor people than rich people, and lack of response to shoplifting is not about race.
It probably depends.

When I was a (fairly reckless) teenager, I got into a fight and got "stabbed" in my side (minor wound). Honestly, it's not something I consider as traumatic.

It _was_ an effective way to stop the fight though.
Carleen Maley Hutchins made a new 8-member family of violin-type instruments[0] which included a somewhat larger instrument tuned like a viola but played on an endpin like a 'cello. It sounds pretty good[1] and improves the ergonomics of fingering and shifting (though not so much bowing), but it has not seen much adoption because a) it has the "looks funny" factor, and b) it requires the violist who trained on a standard instrument to learn a new technical approach to both bowing and fingering.

Fear not, for I have a keto friendly alternative when I eat breakfast with friends who don't want carbs!

I've found that just 2 to 3 lankato vanilla drops in a small glass of a 50/50 mix of half and half and heavy whipping cream gives me a drink that tastes just like melted icecream (or whipped cream) so I can do without Oreos.

However, just a drink might be too light of a break, so on the side I add eggs deep fried in olive oil "spanish style" (bubbly brownish white but runny yoke)
What about, doing things in a sort of nice and measured way, and not being and asshole, I mean even if this guy intends to do this, it's an asshole way of announcing his intentions. The dude is a jerk, he might be smart, but he is a jerk.

The way he talks about Twitter really makes me wonder why he even wants to buy it, he just seems to hate everything about it, including the staff.

I don't like Twitter, I don't use Twitter, but I've lead teams of people and what his doing here is not a good way to start off.

Not sure if this guy has just lost too much sleep or has early onset dementia or something but he doesn't seem right lately?

just delete everything and charge a fee for keeping ones blog posts.

Do it in waves, oldest stuff first so that people can pay more often.

Make each wave more expensive so that holes appear if one doesn't pay. Newer stuff should be considered more valuable.

Make a desktop client that preserves the tweets for everyone who doesn't want to pay.

Repackage the company so that it makes an attractive purchase.

Make a Tesla Twitter auto and replace the twitter logo with a tiny automobile.

Show videos of spaceX launches and Musk Today at the top of every page. That way you can load the content for each page and only have to pull in the specifics after the audience watched 3-5 minutes of it.

Plenty of time for the slow swarm of desktop clients to find and serve the content.

Make an elaborately advertised but minimal effort to oppress alternative clients and have happy little accidents in the protocol so that undesired content is "accidentally" distributed unless it is top priority not to.

Purchase and merge with Reddit, eventually buy Facebook from meta. Call it TwiReFa.

Dedicated hardware for the desktop client.

Offer a free Tesla auto mesh network internet where internet refers to TwiReFa access only.

Give Tesla's their own TwiReFa account so that they can talk with other autos to negotiate deals.

The best way to use DaVinci Resolve is on a desktop PC with ultrawide monitor and one of the controllers such as the DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor. I own that controller and it's great.

I really wanted to like editing videos on the couch on my iPad Pro (2018 model) 12inch with pencil in LumaFusion, and it's cool at first because "editing on an iPad".. then screen real estate reality set in. For me anyway. Video editing tasks and projects vary greatly in scope, and some projects would be great on the iPad. Maybe I'll try again later, but after getting an ultrawide monitor I discovered that yes, I really do want a timeline that wide.
Is there a limit to the number of LLCs you can open and buy i bonds with in a given year?
New car lighting would probably help also. One of the problems of the single motorcycle light is that you instinctively think "where's the other one?" — they look like half a car.

If cars had lighting that connected the two front and two rear lights, then 'looking for a pair of lights' would be less of an issue. I would like to see LED strips (not too bright) on the front and backs of cars.
> The systems are static ... We only see frequent software updates today because the systems are barely more then public betas.

No absolutely not. FSD models are going to need continuous updates. All real-world models exhibit "model drift". Over time most models perform less well. Real world models are monitored and retrained when needed.

Example would be when a city, state or country changes a road sign or introduces a new road sign, so a strange looking vehicle like a CyberTruck starts making an appearance on the road.

Clojure. Fluency in Java is a plus, due to interop. It’s a stable language - it accrues new features and gets faster but is intensely focused on backwards compatibility. I use Clojure for backend, ClojureScript for front end, and Babashka for scripting and throwaway tools.
I knew DevOps jumped the shark when I started seeing "DevSecOps" and other such nonsense. But I don't think it was always so.

Several years ago, I did "DevOps" work for a year or two. My gig essentially consisted of automating the repetitive Ops tasks and giving engineers self-service tools to get their stuff into prod efficiently.

At the time, things like Puppet & Chef were commonly-used tools, Vagrant was a widely-used development tool and Ansible was the new kid on the block. I don't remember there being much YAML yet, and I'd only heard a few things about Docker. I wrote several custom tools in Python, and we used Jenkins as our CI/CD server.

"DevOps" in those days was a cultural thing. The DevOps engineers owned the infrastructure and the software engineers owned the software. It was the DevOps engineers' responsibility to give the software engineers the tools needed to deploy, and also to ensure that the SWEs weren't causing outages (where we were the first line of defense).

It started to get bollocksed up when hiring managers started defining DevOps roles in terms of tools used, and the tools themselves supplanted communication & culture as the definition of DevOps.

With YAML, k8s and the rest of the nonsense, I don't think DevOps is very possible these days, because when your config is tens to hundreds of thousands of lines of YAML, the tooling doesn't even allow for a culture of self-service & communication. SWEs more or less have no choice but to chuck stuff over the wall, and DevOps or DevSecOps engineers (or whatever buzzword nonsense the industry has adopted) have to perform augury to construct the configuration. Because of cloud vendor lock-in or just sheer complexity, whatever runs in prod is quite different than the dev environment, and everything just limps along.

EDIT: Now I read things about "MLOps" and so on. When will the madness stop?! Apparently we keep allowing recruiters and dimwit HR bureaucrats to define software processes and culture.
Random coincidence? Once I was the victim of racism in an odd way - my neighbor actually told me they were sure the people burglarizing my house weren’t doing so because they were white. Pretty ironic.

To be fair, whatsapp is a messaging app. Almost everybody who uses it, gives it contacts access, because it is absolutely required for that core functionality. It would be horrible to use if I couldn't search my contacts within the app. Or of incoming messages didn't get tagged based on my contacts.
But some of the cities along the northern part of Orange Line might have more crime than West Roxbury, Roslindale, or Beacon Hill. It’s always going to be somewhat arbitrary
> man those are annoying zebra lines... You have to walk 10 meters more to use the zebra line on each intersection!

Unless you are trying to cross perpendicularly, then you have to walk 10 meters less. Averages out to being similar (and isn't annoying to use in person).

Regardless, it shortens the crossing length, and puts crossing pedestrians at a perpendicular angle to turning drivers, both of which drastically increase pedestrian safety.
Comparing yourself to other people is useful, not bad. Unless you want to live in fantasy land and never find out what the real world is like

This is my primary explanation when I lived in the city. I would walk my dog to the top of Buena Vista park nearly every morning at sunrise and marvel at the city in awe.
I wouldn't describe Nokia, Blackberry, or Palm as 'better options' in that space.
Appeal to the currently incumbent solution is not convincing. Very often the majority of people simply choose the lesser evil -- not what's of the best quality or with the biggest productivity.

Or need I remind you that hangings at sunrise and sunset were commonplace and people even brought their kids to them?

I'm sure back then people defended it as well, and it's likely that if you heard their arguments you'd facepalm.
yes, that is in fact what people mean by 'losing money'
Spot on, and the recent press around Amazon's warehouse churn tells you everything you need to know about how they view labor. They're legitimately at risk of churning through their entire candidate pool in some job functions within the next few years and they don't care at all.[0]

> Make people accountable for that, eg. lifetime driving license revocation.

Kind of like prohibition - it doesn't work. You may already note that people are caught daily without a license anyway.

Where I live at least, if you don't drive like a dick, chances are you could drive for years without being caught. I can't recall the last time I had to show my license at a police stop.
"treating red lights as stop signs" as in being able to go through red lights? Or am I mistaken?
That's a major concern just like US National Intelligence director warned a few years ago - genetically modified organisms have the capability to propagate themselves, and once they are out, you cant take them back. It does not matter whether a harmful strain of a virus, bacteria or a plant has broken out of the lab through incompetence or through the actual hostile action of a hostile organization. Its the same result with a biological attack. Imagine a wheat strain that makes all wheat 30% less productive, infecting the existing grain crop, and the ensuing hunger.
Police just stopped bothering to present crimes that fell into the categories that weren't being prosecuted. Why would they put in the time and effort to present a petty theft case if the DA's office is publicly on record saying they won't prosecute it?
I agree with you that it is annoying but it is also still in there because macOS was designed as Application centric.

To have a new way to choose would involve to add a new feature and have all of the developers port the design pattern to do so which is non trivial/
As a male, I've done the same in Atlanta and in Seattle. In Atlanta, was so late coming home that the transit was closed and I walked 7ish miles to get home. Through downtown.

I still don't claim it is a safer city than Seattle. Not by a long shot. Just as I don't recommend walking downtown Seattle super late. Though, of course, have done so many times. Similarly, we never had package theft in Seattle. I don't know how I could claim that isn't a thing, though.
There is one partial exception: Puffin. It uses Chrome on Linux and a custom lightweight remote desktop-like client to let the server render the pages and the phone view them.

It's an impressive work around, though it adds it's own problems, not the least of which putting a lot of trust in a third party.
It’s fun but reminds me I no longer have the patience for video games.
Porch piracy seems the easiest thing in the world to catch especially in the era of work from home and infinite ring cameras. Not bothering indicates nobody really cares because Amazon is subsidizing it.
I think that you might have mistyped the Xeon model number.

Nevertheless, most existing Xeon CPUs are too old to have SHA hardware.

In Intel server CPUs SHA was introduced many years later than in AMD server CPUs or Intel desktop CPUs, i.e. only in "the 3rd generation Xeon Scalable" based on the Ice Lake Server cores, in Q2 of 2021 (Xeon model numbers 83xx, 63xx and 53xx).

That's because what seemed like the best way to do hidpi when macOS added it (fixed scale factors and assets) ended up being a problem. It's better to not abstract away the DPI differences. It makes for worse compatibility in the short term, but much better long-term.

The behavior with high refresh rates is pretty bad, too. A lot of stuff is hardcoded to 60hz, and programs have to opt in. They haven't even fixed Safari properly yet.
Perhaps that explains the increasingly frenetic attempts from AWS recruiters to contact me.
Which is what the grandparent is being accused of. I guess it’s strawmen all the way down.
I thought the reason Google has so many onerous rules for listing your app in the Play Store was to keep this kind of thing from happening.

I do the same in Las Vegas, "sin city" moniker and all. I lived in Boston, NYC, LA, Montreal, and Spokane. I had two bikes stolen while I was working at the county public defender's and my girlfriend called the police, filed out a report, and nothing ever came down the line on the other side. The officer tried to talk her out of filing the report. Since I've worked in other jurisdictions and have heard broadly about how few fucks are given about property crimes generally, we don't even know how high or low this figure is in comparison to other cities with different policies. It could very well be true that people are experiencing recency bias, triggered by a question that touches upon something that wasn't taken seriously to begin with.

Also, I live in Las Vegas now and I also don't know anyone who had their car broken into or packages stolen. I left my Steam Deck outside for 48 hours since it was delivered early and hidden poorly, but I wasn't looking and didn't even notice it. But since none of the polls - the Chronicle or the Standard's - mention vehicle prowling, we have even less data on that. Why even bring it up? Nobody was expecting Rumble in the Bronx (great movie in spite of the whole movie being made up of stereotypes).
