I think it's a combination of a few things.

- Government jobs don't pay well relative to the private sector, especially in software, so the government talent pool is lower quality than industry.

- For most government activities, government essentially has a monopoly on their implementation, e.g. infrastructure building. So people don't have as much of a comparison to know how good or badly government is doing. With software, people use government software and use privately developed software and the difference is obvious.

- Software, perhaps even more than many endeavors, benefits from having a single decision-maker in charge of the project who has a clear vision of what needs to be done and strong conviction on how to do it. Design-by-committee is not a great way to design good software. Most government projects wind up being some form of design-by-committee, either implicitly or explicitly. Even when the government has software built by private contractors, the requirements are written by committee, the contractors chosen by committee, etc. Very few of the best of anything is designed by committee, but the effects are much more obvious with software than say, a park.
In fact the murder rate for men is higher than everyone:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homicide_statistics_by_gender

Worldwide, men constitute 78.7% of homicide victims, making cis men the largest group of homicide victims.
True. But the article does not mention that it was the boss who told the author to pitch in:

>Some of us had worked through the weekend trying to help out a colleague who’d been given an insanely tight deadline

Note: the deadline was given to "a colleague", not to "our team". Same here:

>My colleague, whom I liked a lot, was never going to get it done in time without help, so we all pitched in.

Also note that he seems to never have worked on such a schedule before:

>I actually quite enjoyed it.
> Google is also wrong often with all the seo game

Worse! Google sometimes incorrectly summarizes an article into a search result widget. I've seen google answers that showed the opposite conclusion of the source article when you click through and read because it picked 2 key sentences and dropped the connecting tissue that boils down to "but" or "and not"
Don't worry - most people in the USA have trouble understanding that such evil events happen here, too.

You've either been on the pointy end of the "justice" system, or you haven't. Paying "court fees" to directly fund the salaries of the people persecuting you is the icing on the cake.

And like, what happened to OP was pretty tame, all things considered. Nobody died. There wasn't months or years spent in prison. I don't think their life was drastically altered by it (but their personal world view certainly was). Nobody is going to the media with such a story, because it's not glaringly outrageous. Ask an attorney if OP would have a case against the police/state to rectify the injustice, and they'll just laugh. They're part of that system and above you, which is why even if you're paying them, they don't answer the phone after 5.

IMO the first step to reform happening is the system admitting it is fallible. Plea bargains should be drastically reformed - either make the case or STFU. When a victim is found innocent or charges are dropped, they should be mechanically compensated for all of their expenses and damages - legal fees, time lost in jail/court, emotional distress from the kidnapping. That money should come out of the coffers of the city paying the gang of violent thugs that abused OP, and ultimately the taxpayers funding them. If the cost of law enforcement ends up doubling, then the true cost of enforcing the laws was twice what was being paid - right now these damages are funded as a perverse reverse lottery where the unlucky just get stuck with them. This certainly won't fix everything, but correctly defining responsibility is the first step.

Alas, the disempowering mass media narrative we get is that the cops just need "more training" so perhaps they won't commit wanton second degree murder as much. Funny how the average citizen doesn't get a similar allowance.
So charge a very high lottery fee that is refunded if you don't get a permit OR if you actually use the permit. If you don't cancel within X days - maybe a week - before your permit day, you lose the fee.
All those things are either frequentist or baysian statistical models. Baysian models are much harder (often impossible) to use but at least pay attention to intersectionality.
I've only watched European TV but if you say US TV is even worse... it must be like in that movie Idiocracy
My understanding “Show HN:” (Hacker News) is for something you've made that other people can play with. Hacker News users can try it out, give you feedback, and ask questions in the thread. HN users are comfortable with work that's at an early stage.

To me you post doesn’t fit that and title should be more like “List of articles I want to write about” and publish.
Many of us don’t even have admin privileges on our laptops!
I prompted:

>In the style of Nas's Illmatic, write two high quality rap verses about K-Means, ideally with internal rhymes and/or a pun.

ChatGPT is specifically designed to not be like what you are asking for. That other one is designed to be more like it.
Does it do this on Ubuntu server? I’m assuming not?
If he manages to get conservatives to buy EVs to own the libs, that will be awesome. It's a pretty weird theory though: make yourself anathema to your core market, liberals with money, in hopes of winning over the anti-environmentalists. It's even weirder seeing as its timed to coincide with every other car manufacturer in the world entering the market and gunning for your market segment.
I've seen multiple people claim they've been banned for simply disagreeing with him in replies. Of course it could just be people clout chasing. I haven't seen any clear evidence, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if it's true.
I was thinking it’s just relative to energy prices keeping all this infrastructure plugged in, but that only makes sense (kinda) for storage.
I went to Yosemite about a month ago, which requires reservations, and it's crazy packed.
Installed Ubuntu on a friend's laptop last weekend. Today her Firefox wouldn't open because snap was reporting it couldn't update it because it was already running. She restarted computer, same problem. She asked if she can "delete" snap.

I'm a debian person, so not sure. Can she?
Or just burn the fuel directly in a CHP plant and don't do it in an inefficient system using an engine and a very complicated indirect mechanical coupling via the roadbed.

Doubly so for electric cars. Imagine the losses in generating power, distributing it, charging a battery, running a motor, moving road or air, catching a few fractions in a turbine, generating electricity again and then transmitting that.

All these schemes are a cross between a Homer Simpson plan, Wile E. Coyote, Rube Goldberg and Troll Physics memes, angling for some greenwashing overspray capital(....)
Yup. This is the same advice I've gotten from two coworkers. Next time I'm up for a reinstall I think I'll make the jump.
"No issues" is a requirement from some other context. Probably.
I guess when everything rides on a single test result it’s more tempting to try and game it?
Right?

Whenever I get into a discussion about vaccines I say something along the line of:

Of all the shitty things our governments do in our names, you’re choosing vaccines to fight against?!
I don't now how iOS caches or retrieves that content, but I find it's not super reliable if the messages were more than a few days/weeks ago. When it works it's great, though.
ah so that's why my city is so crime free, I and all the women I know are never hypervigilant taking public transport, I'm never afraid for my elderly relatives to be bashed in the head or pushed onto the tracks by 9 time offenders out on bail, and everyone working exhausting retail hours from cvs to applestore doesn't know why all these totally-prejudiced shoplifting deepfakes go viral

I'd be fine with the new surveillance state if it actually delivered some safety-dividends, but i guess lawlessness keeps the working class in line
I was hoping that the first tweet would link to a blog with all the details. Oh well.
The primary source of your "further reading" article is Tucker Carlson. Not saying the claim is incorrect, but are there any trustworthy sources supporting it?
I wish that delta chat would be much more known.
My considered opinion is that anyone at Canonical that had good ideas left about 10 years ago.

Cepheid | Staff Software Engineer | $150k+, benefits | Full Time | HYBRID, REMOTE, Sunnyvale CA | US Only

Cepheid is a leader in the In Vitro Diagnostics space, we had the first EUA PCR COVID test approved last year. We are vertically integrated: from building our own plastic molds and injection molding cartridges for our instruments to designing the software, hardware and wetware for our instruments, there are many opportunities to work on every level of this stack.

We’re looking for a Senior+ Software Engineer to join the team developing the software for our next-generation molecular diagnostics systems. This person will be a key contributor in the software engineering team that leads development efforts for software for commercial products as well as in-house research. The technology stack runs the gamut from Java and Windows, to Python, VueJS, Docker and Linux. Familiarity with some or all of these technologies would be nice, but we’re also open to a candidate that has a proven history of learning fast. We’re currently in the process of remediating tech debt and developing a new systems architecture, so you should enjoy solving the puzzles that come from constraints imposed by existing systems as well.

Please reach out to me at iain.hartley@cepheid.com if this sounds like it might be a good fit!

I did a Bladerunner 2049 baseline test on it, it passed with flying colors.
Digital cameras is ALL about post processing. I used to have Minolta, Panasonic, Sony, and Canon point and shoots. No matter what, Canon pictures always come out much better out of the camera even if it has inferior lens, sensor, or is much older. Basically all sensors of Sony now, so the magic is all about the processing. The rest is really up to the photographer, that is where the art is.

> hijack the glory of webassembly just for their startup to succeed

What do you mean by that? What are they doing, apart from existing as a company in the webassembly ecosystem?
This isn't true. We've tried real-world identities on the internet numerous times, most broadly when Google merged G+ and Youtube, but also a lot of USENET identifiers and signatures included a person's real name, or easily identifiable version of it.

It accomplishes absolutely nothing - people are perfectly willing to put their real name and reputation behind their harrassing and toxic behavior. It does, however, make it easier to extend harassment campaigns to people's homes, businesses, families, etc.
Would be nice to have an automatic “sent with siri” sticker for situations like this.
The passport also comes with a free one-way visa to the Donetsk People’s Republic!
Flatpak is awful too.
I'm suspicious many redesigns came from just that.

The app is needed, so we hire people to make app. We got a bunch of designers and developers to develop UI in a team.

But OH NO!, WE DID A GOOD JOB! EVERYTHING WORKS AND IS EASILY EXTENSIBLE!

What next? There isn't enough work on the new stuff ? We just add UI for a feature other team develops every so often, that's not enough work to go by.

And, more importantly, MANAGER CAN'T MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK GOOD when doing only maintenance and not delivering features.

What to do, what to do? I know ? Let's rewrite perfectly functioning UI again! Let's fuck around with stuff that works fine already. Make it look "modern" while we're at it. Use new framework so we can't reuse that much code. That will keep the devs busy and manager getting bonuses!
It would be great if these things were faster - in fact, we cared so much to make it so that it's included as part of our 6th amendment. In practice, it's almost exclusively not the case, even if higher profile cases. Two bits of personal anecdata, a death of a friend's brother due to fentanyl lead to the arrest of a drug dealer (with priors, and found in possession of illegal weapons). Open and closed case, right? Still took a year. Similarly, the exact same thing happened to my brother's friend - three years on, the trial just concluded. Several bigger cases in my area, the Rittenhouse and more recently Brooks cases also took a year.

I'm not sure what you mean with your second half though, are you suggesting detaining people during this period and pro-rating their sentence and/or paying them? Or are you saying that they should wait outside of jail, but still have it counted towards their sentence? I don't quite follow exactly. Edit: seems the latter. I'm not sure my opinion, having a case looming over you seems potentially difficult, especially if you're later found innocent, but should the government (/citizens) foot the bill for that?
It is a quirk of VIPT caches. After a certain point you can't increase index size, only ways and quickly reach diminishing returns.

There might be of course workarounds, but intel L1 cache sizes have been more or less stable for about a decade
They do superseding indictments all the time.
1. Dismiss the notification instead of opening it.

2. Before read receipts, I used to get very anxious about whether I was being ignored, now I can see that the other person simply hasn’t seen the message. Was that a personal problem? Yes, and frankly it probably would be significantly less of an issue now that I’m older.

The linked study is for children aged 8-12. How does a 12 year old "remove themselves from the running for STEM"? A six grader taking average math/science classes and getting average grades is on track for qualifying for a science/engineering/math undergraduate program. There's even opportunities later in life for those struggling in school to join STEM.

When I was 12 all my friends wanted to be rock stars or professional skateboarders. I seriously doubt the causation between what children want to be in the age group of 8-12 and what they grow up to become.
Pretty sure that's exactly how it works in the FlatPak version.
Consider Linux Mint. It's based on Ubuntu, but doesn't use the Snap Store. (And from my experience, works like a charm and is well polished.) From the Mint description of the Snap Store:

> The Snap Store, also known as the Ubuntu Store, is a commercial centralized software store operated by Canonical.

and

> This is a store we can’t audit, which contains software nobody can patch. If we can’t fix or modify software, open-source or not, it provides the same limitations as proprietary software.

I don't object to porn in principle but you are right about it being an inconsistent mess, plus most/all of the porn I've unwillingly encountered there was from people who should stick to radio.
Designing a system that can't be modified is an interesting exercise, and potentially could be one of the few where a blockchain might actually be useful.

That might be a reasonable expectation if FTX only allowed deposits by accredited investors, but I don’t think “professional investors” were the target audience of their Super Bowl ads starring Tom Brady.

GCP requiring sales team approval now for basic quota
I've been using GCP for easily a decade now, since it was just App Engine Python 2.5.

I created a new billing account for a new open source project / company, and lo and behold, to access anything more than basic CPUs and quotas, you need to call sales.

Sales doesn't care about small fish, of course, because they are probably paid on commission; the person on the other end of the phone wanted to know our "company name" and "what we were using the CPUs for" (it's an open source project, we are compiling code, not sure what else to say).

After being a GCP loyalist for as long as I have, I'm sad to see this condition. Has anyone else experienced this? Can anyone else share tips about how best to gain quota / access to resources, when you are willing to pay? Yes, I'm already opening an AWS account, but it will take time to learn the equivalent systems in other clouds.
Doctorow says "But there’s something we can do about this! The part of the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act that authorizes agencies to assess fees runs out in Oct 2023, and when Congress renews it, they could add an amendment to block Booz’s junk fees."

What exactly are "we" supposed to do about it?
> So the broader question would be: what makes governments apparently unable to get big IT projects done right?

Signals intelligence people must be building some of the most powerful computer systems in the world. They also historically have innovated and led the industry in areas like crypto. How come they get it right but the rest of the civil service can’t?
He will not be a free citizen of Russia. They will hold him hostage. If he is afraid of what the US can do, he should be more than concerned of what the Russia can do to him, given that his whole family is under their control.

I don’t envy his situation, but he has made his choice.
The real modern issue is simple:

- advertising say you can make millions just doing some comfy fun things like having sex on cam (OnlyFan and co), or publishing some casual videos about nail arts etc;

- other advertising say you can just make money, not that much but still more than many classic jobs just running a bit on a bike (Just Eat, Uber Eat, Foodora, Glovo etc the "raider platform");

- in the past IF you worked hard you got something in return, nowadays on one side many advertising tell "in 2030 you'll own nothing and being happy", the reality again tell that working poor do exists, that even if you work hard inflation makes money value less faster than the income growth etc.

Long story short YES, it's true almost nobody want to work for starvation wages. The real meme should then be the classic https://i.ibb.co/gdTBXT0/Corp-Whining-Hist.jpg
I agree with this post. Over the span of the last 20 years, and most certainly the last 7-5 years, the information wars have ramped up to an entirely new level. After 2018, large portions of dissident content mostly stemming from the right was completely banned on youtube, facebook, twitter. And it's being kept up in tiktok, instagram, and more recently even entities like cloudflare have begun participating.

I understand, the truth is not comfortable. It is sometimes incredibly hurtful to know the other sides version of the truth. But even then truth is worth it.

Can concure, just got an x100v and it's great but sometimes it takes me 10 mins of restarting the damn app for it to connect correctly.

Do you preserve the land, completely removing humans from it, and only allow humans to marvel at it from satellites? How do you get the population to care for your lofty goals? Do you make it accessible to humans so they can enjoy nature? How do they get there if not via roads?
Hah now it seems quaint of you to assume that comment was about age of publication or journalist training and not politics.

Feathering the clutch to move slowly in first gear can be very tricky.

Spending your customer deposit that are legally off-limits, and that he said were off-limit, on things like houses, properties, etc for your own self and family

Similar thing happened to G4 tech TV.
