The commenter is not saying “where, physically are the good cops.” They are not saying “good people don’t exist in the police department.” What they are saying: “when these terrible episodes of brutality happen, often over a number of years within the view of fellow officers, where are the good cops stepping forward and policing this, or at least preventing departments from institutionally providing cover for the wrongdoers.”

We’ve seen a common pattern many times where abusive officers do terrible things over a period of years and get away with it until they are caught due to their own mistakes, while the occasional objection gets squashed. I don’t entirely blame the “good cops” for valuing their survival and careers over fighting these battles: I blame a culture that makes it much too costly and difficult for good cops to push criminals out. But this is a broken and unprofessional culture that needs to be uprooted and changed, because a country needs law enforcement professionals that it can trust.
Tex Johnston's first flight was in 1925 with the age of 11 on a "barnstormer". At the time where the first flight regulation appeared in the US.

Back then "flight acrobatics" beside showing off the skills of a pilot was the art of "selling" planes/flying and making it popular after all the "Jennies" were sold off (and the pilots laid off) by the government after WWI[0] for essentially pennies: about $200 (~$4.000); production cost initially at $5.000 (~$100.000). Civil aviation "mass-adopted".

So, by selling a 707 with a barrel roll is as old school as it gets.

I fail to see the contradiction in my post.

I clearly wrote that a language shall NOT be opinionated, shall NOT be constrained, that it should not tell the developer what to do.

I wrote the developers should use their own opinion, set their own constraints, specific for the project they are working on.

Language "generic and usable in many different ways and usage scenarios". But actual usage within a single project according to the opinionated convention of the project.

The social graph on Twitter is hugely valuable. Even if they went bust and the service would be unavailable for a year, the social graph and brand value are important.

One reason Mastodon and others have trouble is that people don't want to follow random people, they want to follow the same people they did on Twitter. It's their community.

Certain communities did make a successful switch, like Apple and Tech journalist communities, but not a lot of other communities.
So imagine if we had done what you suggest and slowed the spread of radio and cinema. People have barely any idea that such things are possible. And then one day Hitler comes along after surreptitiously developing radio and cinema, and distributes it among the German population, and uses it for his propaganda campaigns. Would that have been better?

I can't help but roll my eyes (in loops, rapidly) people who think that re-implementing the urban planner micromanagement of the mid-20th century with slightly different set of values will somehow bring us back to the cities of the the late 19th and early 20th century that were organically built out.

You can't centrally plan organic growth. The brush is too broad for that kind of work.
Only portable language with free or vendor implementations.

It was initially tied to the rise in UNIX; being the C operating system meant that it had to have a C compiler, even if it wasn't always a part of the vendor install. That's why GNU set out to build a compiler before building an operating system.

Similar to how the microcomputer era spread interpreted BASIC as the language of choice.

If you wanted another language, you'd not only have to actively choose it but you'd have to pay money for it.

Cambodia springs to mind. Pretty sure I could find a few countries in Africa that fit the bill too.
> Basically prisoner's dilemma

> (...)In that case, defecting will be seen as justifiable.

Exactly! My argument basically boiled down to this. In certain situations, defecting may be the way to go. I would not blame the defector for doing what is in their best interest.

And “someone would have done this anyway” could very well be what's turning a situation into a prisoner's dilemma, so it could actually be a valid justification in some cases.

But yeah, it could depend on what is meant by "justification" exactly.
What you say is the commonly accepted advice, and the ideal workflow. But the truth is that I have been using a huge premade deck to learn Chinese for the last 3 years, and it works.

Would I learn more if I created my own cards? Sure, but studying the premade deck takes me 30 minutes per day, which I can afford. I cannot afford the time to make and update a custom deck.
> Had DF monetized in 2006 instead of going free, and played the industry game as others do, I would not be surprised to see DF at $100M in 2023.

I don't DF would have existed then, it would be hard to see it gather the same community and the creators probably wouldn't have felt as free to explore their own ideas if they felt it needed to be commercially viable.

The thing that made DF's current commercial success is it's previously un-commercial approach. It's a true labor of love and that shows in every aspect of the game.
Great idea to rely on government control to regulate drugs. Why not just let everyone smoke crack, cocaine, opium, and eat fentanyl everyday.

You get paid for being a solid addition on a team providing steady progress. If you continue to do the same thing and make the same valuable but incremental progress, why should your job role change?

This is one of the advantages of having reasonably wide pay bands at Google. Doing a great job within your level will earn you raises. You don't need promotion for that (to a limit). Why should promotion just be something earned after doing the same thing for a long time?
People are just used to wealthy people gaming the tax system to a point it's shocking when someone actually pays them.
> But we are bombarded with commercials every day, that want's us to wish for things we don't have.

Yeah, because the folks making the advertisements aren't wasting energy wishing for things they don't have, they're going out and putting themselves in a position where they can buy those things if they want.
Highly agree, if DF just came out of nowhere and launched their old versions before having enough cachet/community to get studios to help them get it polished, it would at best become a cult classic years later, but most likely just be completely ignored. Without all the slowly increasing cultural awareness and community building leading it to becoming de facto “the most complicated game that is also a simulation and art” it just looks like a really complicated, technologically anachronistic game for neckbeards. Which it still is, but it’s had time to build awareness that it’s also exceptionally interesting, and that that niche isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Also they wouldn’t have been able to keep it a single-person programming project focused almost entirely on expanding the core games features and simulation aspects if they released earlier. Way more time would have been spent on productionization and getting it good-enough rather than done, and more hands would be involved, making it less of a passion/art project of an inventor, and just a regular old commercial endeavor.
There are many games that monetised in 2006 and are not worth $100M.

The indie gaming scene in 2006 was almost entirely freeware with a few exceptions. Indie games as a steam category - let alone industry - was unthinkable. Monetisation was essentially building a flash game to sell to an ad network, there's really no amount of industry game playing that could have been done.
I got the exact advice from my parents, too. If bugs eat that then it's mean it's safe to eat.
Is Databricks’s autoscaling cost efficient?
I've had fun in the past with external auditors¹ who don't really understand what their automated tools are telling them. If the tool reports a version that is no longer supported upstream we have trouble convincing them that it is fine as what we have is a well tested version² with all the security fixes they might be concerned about back-ported³ into it.

>"What the English Parliament did in its anguish when this crazy promotion blew up, was direct and simple: It banned all public trading in new common stocks and kept this ban in place for about 100 years. And, in that 100 years, England made by far the biggest national contribution to the march of civilization as it led strongly in both the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution and, to boot, spawned off a promising little country called the United States".

This is one of the most audacious feats of implied causality that I've seen in a while.
hypocrisy is not illegal, so you can still follow rules and be hypocritical.
It's not just that, they also lack reading comprehension skills. The initial comment could not be more clear that this tech has practically no positive use whatsoever, yet all the snarky "guess we should ban electricity" comments bring up things that have pretty obvious positive uses
Hi all, I created this in about three days. Two of the days was working on the prompt and fiddling around with the temperature and penalties. The Prompt is kind of long (20+ lines IIRC). It was fun watching my cover letters change as I messed around with the algorithm. I created this tool because I hate cover letters. And this is supposed to be an outline that you can edit after to make it less "AIy". Hopefully it will help people who have a hard time writing about themselves or those people (like me) who refused to apply to jobs that asked for a cove letter. Thanks for the comments.

I have the opposite experience. I also run home assistant, and have added the Tradfri hub to my "Home" on iOS. I can count on one hand the amount of times I adjust the one Tradfri bulb I own in the Home app - and it has actually done anything. The only way I have consistently managed to change the bulb's brightness or on/off state is through the official Ikea app - which makes it entirely useless - as I can't automate it.

I do not have this issue with my Hue bulbs, which are running an out of date v1 hub.

If you really think you won't get anything out of it then no it does not make sense. I can only speak for myself, but I prefer the feel of my current keyboard over any I had previously. If you happen to be fine with the rubber dome response then sure, but mechanical has a much wider range of options. I also find it easier to clean (by taking off the keycaps) and more resistant to liquid splashes (collects under the keycaps and doesn't tend to get into the actual switches unlike my previous rubber dome keyboard where any water getting into the caps meant having to take it apart and drying the rubber layers before you could use it). But those points aren't something a cheaper keyboard couldn't inherently manage as well.

That's simply not accurate?

Nuclear weapons and the advent of mutually assured destruction has ushered in a world where many, many, many fewer people die of violent conflict.

Technologies that cause destruction are not congruent with destruction. They change the game such that destruction may actually be prevented by their existence. They are tools, nothing more.

It's possible they have permanently eradicated world war. If that's true, they are not fundamentally bad but in fact really quite great. Only time will tell.
Sassy Justice is hilarious, I hope they do end up making more

Why is it clearly potentially harmful? It is not clear to me at all, as photoshop already exists.

How is someone harmed by someone else producing video that features people who look like them? The whole "seeing is believing" thing hasn't been true for ages, every movie is half CG these days.

I would perhaps buy the premise if deepfakes were sprung on the scene in the 70s or 80s, but the 90s and 2000s have inundated so many with completely fantastical high res CG imagery that nobody thinks videos are proof of anything anymore.
They were also making 14-15K per month before that (it's mentioned in the post), so they were already extraordinarily successful as far as 2-person indie gamedev teams go.
If we assume their previous income was covering their expenses (a reasonable assumption for a 18 year old company), the $7M from Steam would be pure profit.

Now I'm not sure about Washington (?) tax rates, but just for comparison: in Germany you would have paid about 35% taxes on company profits, and another 20% income/capital gains taxes if you just pay it all out to the owners. Not that this is the smartest choice, at that point you play games like keeping money in the company to spend on a company car. But if you don't care about optimizing your taxes 50% doesn't seem unreasonable.
At Google, this is wrong.

L4 is terminal. There is no requirement to ever be promoted to L5 (though there is some language about continued expansion of skills at L4). Most engineers will never make L6 in their entire career at Google and nobody is concerned about people chilling at lower levels.

That still a massive search area for a very tiny object.

It's the distance between Austin TX and Los Angeles, CA. And they didn't know it was within 2m of the road- it might have bounced much further, or been hit by another vehicle and sent further. It might have been picked up by another vehicle, stuck in the tire perhaps.
