I am merely pointing out that your personal opinion of "what justice is" does not accord with the principles upon which the U.S. justice system is built (along with many others around the world).

Any definition of justice is going to be arbitrary and subjective. I disagree with your definition. I see elsewhere in this thread that you take an absolutist stance with regard to your opinion on how justice should be done, one in which you're unwilling to acknowledge that it is possible to have differing opinions on what justice should be. That's fine. You're just out of sync with the majority opinion. And you will be ineffective in persuading a sufficient number of other people (see also Marjorie Taylor Green, AOC, etc). You also seem to be able to predict the future ("you're on the wrong side of history"). Again, that's fine (I'll take some stock tips if you can make those predictions too). I just disagree.

I won't be replying further as your replies suggest to me an inflexibility and intolerance regarding this subject.
The lower stake trick is one of the main rules used in trading. You can't grow if you bet too much since it will cloud pleasure, insight and creativity.

ps: the quote about imposter syndrom really defines it as a synonym of incompetence which is why I (we) hate this so much, nobody likes to feel obligated yet incompetent
Ceefax – A Communications revolution? (1975) [video]
A lot of managers were well-performing ICs that got a promotion, either because a manager position needed to be filled (and they were the least bad option) or they needed to be promoted to keep them (which in some cases is the only way to give them a raise).

Neither of these means they have even the basic skills to be a manager at all, let alone a good one.

Unfortunately since these types of managers don't recognize good manager skills, they'll go on to promote more unqualified ICs below them into manager positions.. and the cycle repeats.
The most dangerous thing I do is index a `std::vector` for which I can add range checking -- which I only do when debugging -- I am not willing to pay for that at release time. I am not performing any address math that can not be statically or else dynamically checked. No explicit memory allocation anywhere -- C++ does all the memory management for me. This is not true of older code I have written.
I think this is a much clearer take, well, at least to me! The key here, and if I'm mistaken - forgive me, is that a good manager needs to be a good communicator, but doesn't get in your way. By the same token, it can be said that to help them help you, communicating with them is essential. It may seem obvious, but I'm sure lots of us have experienced bad managers that don't do this...
These two snippets stood out for me:

"Violence, on The Next Generation, is shown as a problem, or the failure to solve a problem, never as the true solution."

"Lots of young people watch it, too, of course, and, recently, at a conference about science fiction, one of them told me why: “A lot of science fiction shows us a future just like now, only worse,” she said. “I like The Next Generation because it shows us a future I could live in.” "

Compare the old shows, TNG & DS9 with the new shows - Discovery and Picard.

Alan Kurtzman and team have completely destroyed the spirit of Star Trek - totally ignored what Roddenberry tried to achieve - which is nicely encapsulated in the two snippets above.

Instead Kurtzman & team created something bland, superficial with no depth by desperately and selfishly imprinting their own mark on the Star Trek world without respecting its history. Even the great actors like Stewart, Spiner or De Lancie couldn't save it.

PS. This is a good summary of the new Trek:

> I think the thing is that people like yourself are probably conscientiously indifferent to the attraction, influence and dependency that “Big Tech” produces.

Not at all. I just think it’s obvious that the sentiment has been waning for some time now. Who is going around saying how great big tech is?
> The government effectively established monopolies in phone service.

When the phone service was a monopoly in the USA it had five nines of uptime and close to zero latency.

It's been downhill since then.
about mothers, one sea life documentary showed octopusses heating their eggs for days until they're basically dead from exhaustion but not quite yet, as their final move was to swim far from the nest.. allegedly so that predators aren't attracted by her corpse and eat eggs too.
> SMS isn’t the telephone.

Nonsensical distinction. The common person sends and receives SMS using their telephone, using the same phone numbers used to call people, with the same disregard for whether they and the recipient use the same phone company because, like telephone calls, SMS works across companies. When you port your phone number to a new phone company, you continue to receive SMS sent to your number just as you do phone calls.
I guess russian leadership failed to consider this when they started their illegal imperial war to annex Ukraine. People of russia are almost irreversibly becoming the new 'nazis' of whose attrocities the kids will learn at school and of whom they will learn to despise for the rest of of their lives (while the earlier ones will be just another chapter in the history books that is read with the same enthusiasm that most study geopolitics behind WW1 currently).

This is not to suggest that the attrocities (at this point anyway) would be comparable, but that history is moving ahead.

Sorry about political angle, but due to my circumstances, I am very angry of what is happening, and I think these things cannot be repeated too many times.
I find this whole situation to be incredibly depressing, especially with Musk tweeting out a fact free insinuation about Paul Pelosi (since deleted without apology.) The proverbial shit is going to hit the fan on Twitter on election night Nov 8 in America and I don't think Musk is prepared to handle it. I'd love to live in a country where we could have nice things, but apparently America is not it.
>Vegeta would be impressed.

lol. I'm glad somebody got this reference. It's pretty dated at this point. Nowadays it's all about people going bald after working out.
No, it was designed to strike fear and terror into the hearts of common soldiers so that they would run away/surrender instead of fighting. Civilians were just collateral damage.

The uprising happened during the first war, but Bush I decided that he’d rather keep Sadam in power and that Kuwait’s oil was enough…
As someone that has never worked at a startup before, this seems to be the list of skills a startup might find reasonable for a 'DevOps Engineer'. Every other place I've interviewed or have worked has DevOps Engineer and Site Reliability Engineer being distinctly different roles (SRE focusing on monitoring and logging and DevOps engineer focusing on pipeline and build).

There are also other places like where I am now where every team that works on backend infrastructure (Windows, Linux, Virtualization, Networking) also works on their own automation for their platform. We do have a Platform Engineering team that focuses on K8s and Dev tools such as Artifactory, Gitlab, Puppet.

I have an opinion that if a company has a specific role of 'DevOps Engineer' they are doing DevOps wrong. Also Jira and Scrum are absolutely not needed at all to do DevOps.

"a proof-of-concept method that should allow for the installation of arbitrary homebrew applications on the consoles."

Good. That should be allowed anyway.
Theft isn't a mere nuisance, it's an attack on one of the fundamental buttresses against chaos and violence.

The cost of living in a low-trust environment is orders of magnitude greater than the value of the items stolen. Severe penalties for persistent defection against society are absolutely warranted.
There's a notion that one can prototype in Python and then just translate that easily to modern C++

That was my first thought on looking at the github link posted by waynecochran above: if I'm going to write C++ code that looks like that, why don't I just use Python or a similar language? What exactly is C++ doing for Wayne here?

It's not going to be much slower if it all, given that all he's doing is invoking higher-level abstractions.

Another thought: again, given the abstractions and high-level resources that C++ programmers will be coming to rely on in the years ahead, someone could "just" write a back end that translates a cleaner high-level language like Python to modern C++ for compilation and optimization.
Cette Vieille Maison is one of my favorite shows.
Yeah sorry. The story here is how people at Twitter must prove their worth by printing the lines of code they wrote, so I erred on the side of that angle also for the Ellison quote even if I had no reason to do so.
How could that be unrelated?

An "L"? Are you 17?
There is no balance of power. That's the thing Putin doesn't get: Russia is small time. This is not the cold war.
If you do this, go ask your manager for a raise for doing another role on top of your current one. Don't give away your superpowers for free.
This isn't true. Lens which optimize for performance at the cost of size are becoming more mainstream. But that isn't to say that this is the trend for the market as a whole. We're simply seeing more options.

Take Sony for example. They have their large 50 1.2 and 1.4, but they also have several small lenses: the insane 55 1.8, the 1.8, the 2.5G, and the 2.8 macro.

And you can go smaller still if you go the manual focus only route, e.g. the even more impressive CV 50 f2 APO.

It takes longer than weeks to plan, but when they enact their plans it doesn't take long. Democrats always play the game of... had we only known they could do that, now our hands our tied. Case in point is when they authorized the COVID-19 pandemic relief and then Trump fired the single person responsible for preventing fraud, and Democrats were like... hmm, we did nazi that coming.

Ask HN: How did you start contributing to open source?
I'm interested in getting into some open source contribution as a way to learn Go. Having looked at a few famous open source Go projects (Kubernetes etc), the mammoth size of many of them overwhelms me a bit. I'm struggling to see where to start (other than their getting started pages of course). I've only contributed to large code bases from within employment, where I'll often be shadowing someone at first, so not having that option, i'm at a bit of a loss where to go! Is it just the case of biting the bullet on an issue and saying "I want to solve this, but i'm gonna need a lot of help", or are there other ways to enter the community?
Cars do kill a lot of cats, therefore less curiosity... I see your reasoning, here. :)
> My cofounder is telling me if I don't keep working on this startup (using the money out of my cofounder & me's pocket after the company die), then I am being guilty to him

He is not able to accept he fell on the wrong side of risk/reward. Failure is a norm for startups. End it.

He needs to take responsibility for his decision of taking on risk. Not blame you for it, as you are in the same shoes as him.
I nowhere claimed that platforms are like newspapers. I claimed that newspapers provided a function that improved discourse and that has been lost.

I also claim that discussion of this function is made difficult by a blanket appeal to freedom of expression.

I don't claim that we already know how to replicate the function that the publishers played in the new world. But moderation is not censorship and freedom of expression is not entitlement to access to a platformn either.

Your last paragraph almost wilfully seems to miss my point. Scientific consensus works in the presence of fallibility and vanity. If it only would work in their absence it wouldn't work because it is a consensus among humans and humans are prone to both.

High quality discourse requires norms, moderation and rules. I challenge you to show any counter example. Most obviously, we are on a website that is actively moderated and has a long section of guidelines that are somewhat between norms and rules. Do you think the discourse here would be improved without these "limits on expression"?
Unless there is way to test the likeabity for it to do it again I think imprisonment for most of its life is not that harsh if it's a second time recidivist. It's pretty obvious that person is not fit to live in a free society.
Who/how determines rehabilitation? If the prison benefits financially from a prisoner staying in prison how is that going to work in practice?

I goggled this: https://www.bop.gov/about/statistics/statistics_inmate_offen...

I think it's kind of interesting. The people one might concerned about are probably: "Homicide, Aggravated Assault, and Kidnapping Offenses" -> 3.2% of prisoners. "Robbery" -> 2.8% ...

I think the first question is what % of all prisoners should probably not be there in the first place and how do you deal with the root causes of them getting there. Then we can worry about when we let them out.
If pointing someone to a single "normal" lens as a prime, I'd point them to a 40mm, not a 50.

When I work with a 50 (which I very much enjoy; used one yesterday), I find that it is tighter in composition than my normal field of view. The 40 much-better matches my own perception and experience. The 50 is a more-careful tool.

35 is a little wide for me (but perfect for human/photojournalism work). If you want to try out a 40, there are great pancake lenses out there at relatively low cost. The Canon 40mm STM (recently discontinued) and Fuji 27mm are the smallest lenses made by their manufacturers -- cheap, sharp, fast, flexible.

Edit to add: For the specific case of environmental portraiture of kids, I'd probably trend toward a 35 and perhaps even a 28 (the focal length-equivalent on the Google Pixel 3a and 4a and the Q/Q2). The perspective with which we perceive the experience of being a kid is a close and intimate one.
Where we live in Portugal humidity is a big problem, and we actually spend 1kW 24/7 running dehumidifier throughout the house. If we didn’t, mold would grow and we would get severe allergies.
So… this seems like a very bad idea even for the UK, considering it’s very rainy there in the winter.

In my experience, there a many lower hanging fruits in British houses to save energy than this. Uninsulated and draughty old houses seems to be the norm here (at least if you're renting).

I'm surprised the government is not pursuing this more aggressively.
Right? Seemed like this would have been a big whoopsie with several giant gears mashed up to dust to be able to make this happen.
The new FS-Box is out, allowing reprogramming of most FS transceivers for a one-time $500 cost.
I still suspect it's because they need to preserve compute resources for vision processing. Sensor fusion is likely eating up too much of their current HW and limiting their progress in other areas. I suspect Tesla will have to admit they need to upgrade the current HW before they ever 'solve' FSD.
Ursula K. Le Guin pulls off the rare trick of being an incredible writer _and_ critic. She was well ahead of her time and I hope that we can collectively catch up.

It also isn't as if Elon was just thumbing his nose at naysayers. A day earlier he pledged to advertisers Twitter would not become a "free for all hellscape."

Now that's the new tagline.
The expected progress is: urban areas should be counted first, with Bolsonaro leading. As the remaining votes arrive they should start turn the percentage on Lula's favor. On most pools both candidates are tied, so the outcome is uncertain.

To my surprise, my parents use the Cat5 cables I installed in their house 20+ years go.

I'm not running my own service. I'm using www.iptel.org, they offer a free sip account. Under the hood they use the Kamailio sip server. It is pretty darn reliable for a free service.

Every few months iptel.org goes down for a few hours and I get 408 request timeouts. When Spectrum blocked 5060 UDP, I got 408 request timeouts for a week. It finally dawned on me to try my iptel account on my VPS and my SIP register succeeded. That's when I knew Spectrum had shut 5060 UDP. I tried 5060 TCP and that didn't work either.
Even if you're buying, the most popular houses are ancient Victorian ones which, in spite of their charm, are very badly insulated.

They're often listed and require fitted wooden windows, so it's not exactly easy to fix.

But that source does not speak of US forces.

This is exactly what you are doing, yes. You’re picking a number intended to quantify something entirely different and comparing it against mine.

> "Clearly".

What else would you call Russia repeatedly using low precision missiles to strike population centers? They’ve done this with fucking MLRS, an area denial weapon.

What else could you call Russias extensive campaign against the power infrastructure in Ukraine? This can’t possibly achieve any military goals this long into the war, the only purpose is to hurt the civilian population.
Twitter is the only platform I know where you can search for people who share your interests and then connect with them. The whole #buildinpublic community is just insanely great. Everybody is building something. Everybody is having similar issues to talk about. You can make so many great connections and help each other out.

But I feel that with Twitter becoming a private company owned by a single controversial person, Twitter lost a lot of its appeal.

It could be very unfortunate (if Twitter just goes down the drain without a replacement) or it could be the start of something new, if a new way to interact comes up.

If the community moves to another form of communication, I hope it will be something decentralized that can not be taken away from us again.

That is the reason why I am not enthusiastic about Mastodon. Mastodon is not decentralized. Unless you run your own instance, you do not own your social graph.
>The ability to chop up the ISA is going to have ugly side-effects

The instruction set is already reduced (hense RISC) to the bare minimum for the two important profiles: microcontrolers and linux machines. Microcontrollers will be 32-bit and will nessesarliy have a different tool-chain from 64 bit computers as they won't be running Linux. The only question is will most Linux machines use vector. That is probably a yes. X-86 and ARM are allready fragmented and the software ecosystem survived. Nobody is adding custom instruction to a reduced instuction set just for the sake of it. Also, as RISC-V machines will only run on Linux for at least the next few years, all the software and compilers are open already. So there is no way for a single vendor to lock in the ecosystem.
I’m an avid DIYer and have no problem buying others’ high-standards DIY work, inspection/permits or no.

If I walked into a listing and saw surface raceway everywhere, I’d only bid what I was comfortable paying leaving room for a gut rehab. It’s evidence of a high level of DGAF at a minimum and likely isn’t the only place that corners were cut.
Performance aside, i just switched my pihole to AdGuard and immediately noticed that AdGuard wasn't blocking anything. Switching back to pihole showed immediate queries to icloud analytics being blocked. So you should at least figure out a better filter than what AdGuard offers out of the box.
There is no known reason why it is theoretically impossible.

However, despite many people claiming otherwise, there are currently no situations (other than contrived benchmarks) where a quantum computer is better than a digital computer.
> Firstly, where is pulling back policing happening?

Most metropolitan areas. Seattle [1][2] and Minneapolis [3] have both established public policies of not responding to, citing, or arresting for a wide range of offenses.

> I don't know of a single city that has actually reduced their police size to any real sense?

Minneapolis has reduced the number of police officers, through various means, by 30%. [4]

> Additionally, how do we know this isn't just correlation and not causation?

Because we have multiple studies proving a causal relationship. [5][6]

Sure, I agree entirely. I just think the stakes are too high for him to ever be released. Not that it seems likely any time soon anyways.
Turning your thermostat down by one or two degrees per week and getting acclamation to cold is a better alternative. 5 degrees on the thermostat would be a far better measure than tub heat.

Short showers, or 'sea showers', to conserve water and heating would likewise be a far better option than a 50 gallon bath.

That just means the economy will continue to grow, it doesn't specify how the stock market can grow faster than the economy.
What differentiates the older Star Treks from the shows that have come out in the last 20 years is the optimism. Instead of a depressing vision of the future, Star Trek dared to show a better future. Instead of only having conflicts drive the story forward, Star Trek's main drive was the thrill of discovery, asking questions about what it means to live in this Galaxy.

I miss having shows that convey a feeling of hope for the future. The current mostly dystopian grimdark sci-fi is an easy way for unimaginative writers to make their world feel more real at the expense of destroying that hope.

It's sad that even the new Star Trek movies (post 2009) and shows courtesy of Alan Kurtzman and J.J. Abrams have completely lost that spirit of the previous Star Treks. Instead it's a bland insipid take on the Star Trek universe by people who have no clue of what makes Star Trek Star Trek and do not respect it.
