Trespass to land involves the "unjustifiable interference
with land which is in the immediate and exclusive
possession of another"; it is both a tort and, in
certain circumstances, a crime under the Criminal Justice
and Public Order Act 1994. It is not necessary to prove
that harm was suffered to bring a claim, and is instead
actionable per se. While most trespasses to land are
intentional, the courts have decided that it could
also be committed negligently. Accidental trespass
also incurs liability.

A better question isn't how the checkerboard pattern happened as much as it is: How did this happen without easements being recorded!

I feel like ALL land subdivisions should only be legal if an easement for access is provided.
I was once ranked #10 on Case’s Ladder in Duke Nukem back in the day. With a dial up modem on a system called Kali.

Good times.
We are much more liberal here in Maine. You can basically go anywhere you want on unimproved land so long as it is not posted no trespass.
They're pseudo-arguments. Disingenuous platitudes that elide the motivation strong enough for the landowners to create lobbying groups.
I installed Windows 95 on a 25 MHz m68030, in part just to see if I could:

I've been curious about whether Windows XP or newer could be finagled to run on an i80486 or equivalent. I bet this NTDEV person would know!
What this doesn't mention is that when this land was set out the government decided that x% would be for public uses and-- not having any better criteria in mind-- whomever got tasked with doing the layout just checkerboarded the parcels. This creates a significant mess, especially when you want to own a large piece of land and not have it contain random public chunks-- which you'll either need to be an ass at restricting people's access to or have your own privacy invaded by people traveling to and using them (as well as potential legal liability).

My understanding is that some land owners have had some degree of success purchasing additional pieces of land and trading them with the BLM to make their own property more contiguous.

In any case, I see posters here assuming that the land owners like this situation... but I know for a fact that many don't and would prefer their property not be discontinuous.
It was certainly the popular consensus view among historians (registering about 95% democrat) at the time of Heller, but that does not in any way mean that it is or was the consensus view of notable legal scholars, Supreme Court justices, or anyone else who is actually well-informed on the issues and history of the second amendment. And also facts, which matter a lot more than "consensus."

If you would like to back up your argument from authority with actual evidence, can you pull out a gun control law from before 1900 that bans anything close to the weapons that are banned today?
Sure, there's usually some helpful people here and there in any such forum. But you also got a lot of downvotes and bad comments. I never said everyone in these internet forums is a bunch of jerks. The problem is that so many people are, that the places frequently become un-enjoyable.
In this particular instance, they very much created the situation. The landowner called multiple law enforcement agencies until they found one that was willing to push it to prosecution, which the state lost.
> Too often

Any evidence for that happening here?

I’m curious though, are you in the category of benefiting non-landowner? Or coming to their defense in the name of something else?
From the original article

>Their criminal case, currently set for April 14th, will take place in a local court and therefore will not establish legal precedent.

The civil case is in Federal court so will establish precedent.
Why? And on what basis would people sue the state/county? If it's public land, shouldn't people simply be allowed to swim at their own risk? And do I understand correctly that paddleboarding is allowed? Because that really makes no sense.

This one works from local files (no native cloud storage): https://www.pwsafe.org/

If the local directory it uses is mapped (via appropriate means) to one of the above cloud providers (i.e., a "dropbox" style mapping) then the local encrypted file is also stored "in the cloud".

Note also you could simply setup "backup into cloud" of the local file and achieve a similar result.

Here you will find a long list of compatible other variants: https://www.pwsafe.org/relatedprojects.shtml some of which are for multi-platform and/or multi-device support.
The article mentions one person with major ill intent:

The hunters who used a ladder to corner-cross in Wyoming now face a civil lawsuit from the owner of the private land whose airspace they stepped through, in addition to the original criminal trespass charge. Their criminal case, currently set for April 14th, will take place in a local court and therefore will not establish legal precedent. However, on March 31st, a judge ordered for their civil case (that is, the one brought by the landowner) to be moved to federal district court, where the outcome could serve as precedent in future cases. Whatever comes next, this legal gray area could very well remain clear as fog for decades to come.
Pointing out flaws is a red herring?

No, finding the flaws in western journalism takes more effort because it's not as obvious. Which means the rulers can get away with propoganda and manipulation much more easily than one who provides a direct, complete and obvious propoganda.

I think people would be wise to be equally critical of left and right MSM, not just assume they aren't propoganda because they are on different 'sides' (hint, they're not really)
I think you will find they were saying that there were more than 6 million deaths from it globally so far and the fact that your personal experience with it wasn’t particularly serious isn’t a meaningful data point.

I’d also argue that a random quote from the author of Jurassic Park isn’t really moving the conversation forward.
Nasty little birds. We put out a feeder, and they battle each other for it, even when there's plenty for all. It's a good thing they don't decide to gang up on humans; they could do a lot of damage while we're still looking at where they were a hundred wingbeats ago.
The Montana rancher quoted in the article seemed to have a reasonable justification for it. I can't say I fully agree with him or that I'd press charges for it but he doesn't sound like he has ill intent. People firing guns and scaring his kids, trespassing deep into his land, parking in his driveway etc. And local law enforcement stretched thin and unable to respond consistently. So his position is basically I'm going to do everything I can to keep these people away from my property. That's understandable.

It can be for fetching data: https://beta.reactjs.org/learn/you-might-not-need-an-effect#...

However most modern frameworks use something like React Query, GraphQL, etc which handles synchronizing local state with remote data for you.
> Every node in your knowledge graph is a debt. Every link doubly so.

I do agree with the first part of this sentence, but I think that the second is a little more nuanced. The first few 'links' among nodes in a knowledge graph I do think generally represent more debt (probably less than the node itself, though). As the links increase and the knowledge graph gets denser, I feel that things start to flip and each individual node/link actually gets increasingly easy to recall.

For a specific example: learning how to conjugate a verb in a foreign language and learning a bunch of words out of context is going to be hard to retain over the long-term. However, combining those into a fill-in-the-blank kind of sentence once you know enough actually becomes easier and supports knowledge of all that you've learned. This is just a simple example but once you know about it, you start seeing it everywhere, regardless of the topic under study.

Anyway, I enjoyed the article. I have gone all-in on Anki and sometimes I get concerned that I'm missing out on the newest software. Articles that remind us that the best system is the one that you use are important to have around.
The US is moving towards mandating (~2024) that banks expose customer transaction data via a standardized API that customers can use to grant third parties permission to access their data. In theory, a third-party "personal data store" could be a consumer and custodian of bank transaction/payment data. In aggregate, this could offer visibility comparable to a CBDC.

Proposals like Schluss and Tim Berners-Lee W3C "Solid" protocol use rhetoric about privacy and customer control, but their focus on data portability is likely to increase aggregation (decreasing privacy) of customer data that is currently siloed across multiple organizations and schemas.

What you say is not true. Once a driver is in the kernel, there's usually nothing a user must do to get the device working. It works so well that devices works on architectures manufacturers haven't even thought about. The policy in the kernel when any internal interface changes is: you change it, you have to modify all the driver to keep them working. It works splendidly well.
I guess they consider hunters a nuisance in itself, that's the real problem for them.

Bad summary. The private land owners didn't create this checkboard mess, the government did.

Landowners own the land, but they can decide to not prosecute people "trespassing" over the corners (which, AFAIK, has no effect on their private land in any way whatsoever).

I'm sure most landowners aren't POS and most do not. But this guy did, and gave the hunters a big fine and a big legal challenge because they were in his "airspace" for no more than a couple minutes. Which is why we need a codified law, so hunters and campers don't even have to worry about this in the future.
Some languages use `enumerate` for this. Maps, filters, for loops etc all work on single items, but enumerate wraps them into (index, item) tuples when needed.

Amusingly in Haskell it only takes nine characters to define enumerate, so there’s not much benefit giving it a name!

enumerate = zip [0..]

> - work from a coworking space (a smaller one where you actually get to know people and hang out) (edit, i assumed working from home, but that's probably not the case)

Serious question/devil's advocate here: if a corporation/company/business/startup/whatever is paying you for 8 hours of work a day (8am -> 5pm with a 1 hour lunch in between), when are you supposed to talk to people in a co-working space?

Are you saying like, in between meetings, and when you aren't "heads down" tracking down bugs/looking at logs/writing documentation/writing code/writing tests, you just... shoot the shit throughout the day vocally across from one desk to another? Walk to a watercooler and hope somebody else is also randomly hanging out there throughout the day? How many times can you do that a day? Multiple 15 minute watercooler breaks a day? Go to a group lunch?

I feel like that would hurt the average person's productivity. Sounds like a lot of distractions.

Obviously humans aren't binary objects that are just "work non stop" or not with no feelings.

I just feel like you'd be replacing "I hate coding/being alone/no social aspect" with "I'm socialized but now I'm behind on my work/distracted/can't get any peace"

It seems so weird to seek out and charge with criminal trespass too.

This seems like there’s some shenanigans going for landowners who want to avoid property taxes by only buying part of public land.
You asked me a question, I answered it.
Agreed. Right of way to any public land, and right to disassemble any barricade that infringes on that right of way.
You might want to finish TFA, as there are good reasons (as well as bad ones) listed further down. In short, people using public land apparently don't always stay on public land, and one rancher describes the negative effects of this. For example, people using private driveways for parking.
When they're having tens of millions of cases a day there's no real point to keeping the borders closed.

Sobering (no pun intended) look at just how detrimental cannabis can be to the brain. Covers everything from grey matter volume reductions, to tonal shifts in speech and memory loss.

I never wanted a desk job, but health and economics said otherwise. I did ease into it over several years and have gotten more used to it. It took a few years to get used to less "people time". Going from working on two to five man crews to sitting in an office by myself did weird (and not good weird) things to my head. It didn't help that I tried sales for the first year or so and that was emphatically not a good fit. That's a long ramble, just saying I've been there. Since you have the GI bill it might be worth trying something else. Or perhaps you are like me and want something else once you master the challenge in front of you.

Check out land surveying. Haven't done it but it looks interesting from the outside, good mix of inside research and outside work.

Wow, now that's a case of paint^W checkering oneself into a corner.

OK, I can understand inaccessible public land; it's unpleasant but not directly infringing anyone's property rights. But how the owners of the private parcels within the checkerboard pattern even access their land? Passage through public land may be impossible because other private land stays in the way.

I suppose some agreements between land owners exist for passage. Similar agreements can likely apply to general public.

How did the original land planners miss the idea of having 15-20 ft of public land between private parcels, to allow building a road later on, escapes me. It's a great example of how little intellectual effort, even of the common-sense type, is often expended on questions of a colossal consequence.

There are many cases where a single letter variable name is clearest and easiest to read.

My loop iterators are mostly single letter. A coordinate is likely to be an x, y, or z. A unit vector aligned to an axis will be i, j, or k. A point is likely to be p. A vector data structure v. The first transformation of a variable x is likely to be x’, the second x’’, etc.

I think you're making an assumption of ill intent. That or you're relying on information that is not in the quote you just provided. Pressing charges for using a ladder to corner-cross does not by itself indicate ill intent. At least to me. Why did they press charges for that? What was their intent in doing so?
What is and what should be are separate discussions. But if we want to delve into the topic of what should be, I don’t think adding many different functions for all these cases where this can happen makes sense. It doesn’t scale. The problem, if one believes it’s a problem, is that javascript and typescript are fine with optional and implicit undefined arguments so they never require argument count to line up.
