>If you ask your coworker today, how many shootings were there in Chicago last weekend, unless you live in or near Chicago, they will be shocked that there were 17 shootings and 4 homicides just over the weekend.

Would they? Literally everyone who reads the news knows Chicago has a lot of shootings. This sounds like something you made up to drive a narrative rather than basing it in truth.

> think if enough money is poured into it, with enough eyeballs on it, and a high level of training, it can be very effective.

There is no way it would be effective. Brutal? Yes. Inhumane? Sure. Suffering? Absolutely. The type of person who is attracted to being an authoritarian is not the type of person you want to have power. We already live in a quasi-police state, much more than other countries, and we still have a ton of crime and violence.

>You can't achieve economic security without safety.

You have that backwards. You can't achieve safety without economic security.

>. Can you name a single wealthy location with as high a crime rate as South side Chicago or Baltimore?

Nope, because wealthy places don't have a ton of crime. I'm not sure how that supports your argument, because it's literally what I'm saying.

Can you point to a very poor place that is safe due to the police?

>We have fucking ABANDONED Baltimore and it's disgusting.

Baltimore has more police per capita than other city besides DC
https://baltimorefishbowl.com/stories/baltimore-police-per-c...

Baltimore is literally the closest city we have to a police state, you apparently don't like the outcome.

Edit* @yucky - HN doesn't want me to post and I don't want to come back and remember to post in a hour or whenever I'm allowed to again so here ya are

Police are powerful in all communities in the US. Rural people generally have less interaction with the police than urban areas. If you want to kill someone or rob someone in a rural setting, police are almost a non-factor as they wont be nearby.
Thanks all that makes sense
Because competing code editors support it and thus lacking this capability would make your code editor seem unusually incompetent.

It seems like it would be well within the spirit of the experiment to leave a microphone recording the whole time.
Developing a Deployment System
Hi there. The app surfaces dates in various ways.

In the search results there's an "Active" column that indicates whether a newsletter has published an issue within the last 45 days.

Then when you click into a newsletter it will show you the "Founded" date (when it started) and the dates for the most recent issues.
A good example from my perspective is when you are delivering an application as 3rd party vendor and you wish to automate lot of operational stuff like backup, scaling based on events, automating stuff based on cluster events. It starts becoming very valuable. I am sure there are many more use cases for.
Why are you assuming it's a waste of time?
If your use case were representative of SUV owners generally, there wouldn't be enough of them on the road to be a major problem. For every person like you, there are probably a dozen suburbanites who never take their SUV to anything more adventurous than a new chain restaurant.

What?
I'd definitely recommend doing a 1 day retreat before diving into something longer - some people suffer psychotic breaks and other challenging meditation experiences.
It still has the issue of treating some groups differently based on protected characteristics. What's being done about that?

For example "what is most attractive about men?" Produces an answer, but not if asked about 'women'.

And "why do men earn more?" Doesn't activate duckassist but "why do women earn less?" Does.

Well it did load must be overwhelming at the moment.
I was raised in a Catholic home, attended Catholic school 13 years, and lifelong Mass-goer. I don't doubt that your anecdata is valid, but it's not universal.

The only place I was subjected to guilt, shame, and remorse in a negative context was in my home by (Catholic lay) relatives (and mass media). They were in a "cultural Christian" demographic, raised in utterly secular households, and though they practiced the faith vigorously, didn't really believe or follow it at home, except by coincidence.

By contrast, at school I experienced respect and encouragement from women in authority, and church was full of good news, and loving, joyful men and families. Surely my experience is also not in isolation.
You aren't talking about the same thing they are and you aren't talking about a scenario that exists. 8k is still exotic and no one is driving any desktop off of a video buffer going from main memory through a CPU.
Useful abstractions. Exploring their usefulness can be fun (the pedantic kind) and even sometimes illuminating.

Obviously right from the start "taxonomy" itself is arbitrary. A more universal tool than naming, establishing branches, starting and end points is the concept of "most recent common ancestor" [0]. From that nameless unclassified vantage point I find it interesting to see (as OP pointed out) how "woodiness" or "treeness" evolutionary speaking is clearly a "strategy" (convergent evolution) and nearly impossible to chase down "phylogenetically" through MRCAs. Intuitively before reading this article I would have guessed this to be more straightforward.

Grandparent is correct. Reference counting is a garbage collection mechanism. In same way a bubble sort is a sort.

It doesn't care about ownership either. Apart from some Swift specific optimizations iiuc.

Full GC I mentioned is more of mark and sweep variety.
You can transfer the domain to some other registrar.
They don't seem to answer the question of why the chlorine in the atmosphere comes mainly from CFCs. What about all the chlorine we use every day from e.g. bleach and swimming pools? Does that not wreck the ozone layer because it never gets high enough into the atmosphere?
Technology is reaching the point where renewables are just as cheap and reliable as fossil fuels (and note, coal plants break down and gas and oil supplies get interrupted):

https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/australia-promi...

It's rather interesting that some major fossil fuel producers are building renewable domestic infrastructure (Australia, Saudi Arabia) although they don't seem to want to cut exports as quickly.

This is really frustrating. I'm only a small customer but it doesn't seem right that they could take away part of the deal if I have multiple years pre-bought prior to the change.

The email I received is slightly different and doesn't include set dates, it just says "after the first year" which could be tomorrow.

I've emailed them asking for clarification.

I pay for Fastmail, but use several of the gandi basic mailboxes for other reasons. I could live with those disappearing. I hope this doesn't also remove the 'forwarded addresses' though.

An important tidbit from their Discord. The AI is just the commercial one from OpenAI. Paying $5 per 50 search summaries for it according to the founder of Kagi.[1] It is not in-house.

> many gay priests discover that fact in Seminary after they've taken a vow of celebacy [sic].

Seminarians do not take vows of celibacy. Seminary is by design a time of testing a vocation. Additionally, I would like to see the data backing your “most gay priests” assertion.
The overriding stylistic discipline is often referred to as “NPR”, or non–photorealistic rendering. NPR isn’t limited to a specific style, but rather a goal which is to look more like an illustration than real life.

As with illustration, there are many approaches, and your example of The Witness is an interesting one as it combines abstract, flat textures with a hyper-real lighting model that exaggerates the effects of bounces and translucency. It’s very much its own style, while being an excellent example of NPR art direction.
How so? Deep neural nets and ChatGPT are very much statistical models.
In .NET Core/.NET 5+ I think it even defaults to having awaited Tasks run on a different thread. So long as you're using async/await properly it's almost impossible to screw up (no need to worry about SynchronizationContext etc.), yet I still see tons of examples of people who simply don't understand threading, async/await, etc. and screw it all up
Who Are You gives a pretty nice combination of search results and LLM responses to questions. I find it helpful to see that the responses also include community sites like Reddit, so in effect you can move from LLM to more-human responses or discussions fluidly in a lot of cases.
No one cares about titles. Everyone cares about compensation. If your "staff role" is getting less than other's company "senior role", well, all things equal, you cannot compete.

I was a staff engineer in company A, and moved to company B in which I am "just" a senior engineer. My compensation is higher now. Everybody's happy.
This is fantastic, classical music absolutely needs a dedicated interface since the organization by composer and multi-movement works is so different from popular music.

But I wonder if it will help with finding which version of a work to listen to. A given symphony or piano prelude might have 100 or more recordings. If you go to classical music forum postings, you can usually find a thread asking "what's your favorite performance of..." and quickly find that there are 1 or 2 or 3 versions widely considered the best.

I really want a crowdsourced version of this -- both the most-listened and highest-rated recordings of a given work by a given composer. Because it's a lot of research to do otherwise.

And some people might think it can't matter that much, how different could they really be? But it's astonishing. The same work in the hands of one conductor+orchestra plods along dead and disjointed and you never want to hear it again, while another one soars full of life, the work makes sense and it becomes your favorite.
I think you missed the entire point of the article? Camping/hiking/exploring outdoors is the exact opposite of doing nothing.

Child pyschological development is always a entertainingly fuzzy science, but I think there's at least some good reason to believe that the ability to apply multiple categorization systems to a set of objects at a time is something that will take until the teen years to really come in. Some people never really grok it.

With my younger kids, I settled on just introducing the ideas of multiple overlapping systems, but not pushing on it too hard until they're older. They're only now getting to that age and I've been folding it in to some conversations lately more strongly. I think having some fun with it early as you are is a very strong approach to the topic.

I sort of dislike the framing of this sort of article, as well as the "actually nothing's really a berry" and similar culinary silliness, because this is a really important cognitive skill for higher-level thinking and introducing it with an approach virtually guaranteed to produce resistance and associating it with trickery rather than clear thinking is a real disservice, in my opinion.

This article, once it gets going, is good; I'm only complaining about the framing, not the content.

I will complain about the culinary version of this, where the trickery I'm referring to is "You think that a strawberry is a berry (often heavily implied, 'dumbass'), but really it's an aggregate accessory fruit (often heavily implied, 'as I am smarter for knowing than you')." The whole frame is wrong; it isn't really one thing or the other, it is both, and several other things besides. The multiple classifications all exist at once and they aren't better or worse than each other, they are better or worse for certain uses, and there certainly isn't one classification that is the "real" one and all the rest are fake. For people pushing this, it's like, yeah, you almost get the idea that multiple classifications can exist at once, but you've still completely missed the point.
I'd say Google. They have incentive not to play games like this as that could jeoparadize their control of .dev and they don't need to juice profits on a minor service.
Over time, I've been migrating from Gandi to Porkbun. I've been happy so far.
Visit and take a walk around. Look at the minutes of the city council, see what they are focusing on.

There are endless rhetorical questions to ask yourself:
Where are you in your life and how do you define yourself? Do you prefer cafes or clubs; care about schools and parks? Safety or autonomy? How do you want to commute? Do you want small shops or shopping centers? Small town monoculture or big city diversity? Do you want to your city to attract tourists or be hostile to them?

A city government has a lot of levers to pull to build a city around each of these things, and some do it poorly and some it well.

Don't move to Moline, Illinois or Cupertino, CA and not expect to find a city that bends to the will of John Deere/ Apple respectively. Some cities exist to serve a large corporation above all else (since the entire population works for them). Others exist to serve the local University or the tourist board, and others the soccer moms. None are wrong, they are all trying to find a local maximum to serve the people that live there.
There are many different definitions of poverty- but often, poverty is defined as a ratio or in relationship to others income. When using a definition like that, you will always have poverty in any state where you have any form of free monetary trade.

We can and we should do better. But we will never eliminate poverty so long as we want freedom of economic trade. (And use a definition that is relative).
Pair. More or less forever. Nothing particularly special, but never so busted there’s been a reason to bother changing.
"Value" doesn't describe an inherent quality of a person. Value comes from how a person interacts with other people, their family, their job, their community. A person doesn't "demonstrate" value, rather you perceive value from your interaction with them.
Sorry, I should have clarified. I'm American and grew up in the DFW area. I know long commutes are not unheard of in the US, but like you mentioned, it is pretty rare for someone to commute that far long term. Generally, I think most people might commute for a year or two and then tend to relocate closer unless they only need to visit the office every so often instead of every single day.

The Northeast US is also an outlier because they have commuter rail that can reliably connect places like DC to Baltimore or NYC to Philly.
Except that's not true, there was no poverty in all of North America, for example, up until a couple of hundred years ago.

In case this sounds snarky, let me be clear: this is a really important thing to consider (IMO): there are societies without poverty. It's just that most of us (reading this here today) are unfamiliar with them because they were and are actively destroyed by the poverty-having societies. (E.g. the destruction of the free pirates by the imperial navies. Destruction of Amazonians by loggers. I can list examples all day.)

By having a poverty-based system, you can force people to go into the armed forces and then use them to attack and destroy other societies to take their resources and expand your system. Without the "stick" of destitution no one will participate voluntarily in these unpleasant and unnatural systems. (E.g. people preferred Native American lifestyles to European American lifestyles. I've got a great quote from Ben Franklin on lock on that point, BTW...) The way it's usually framed is, "But who will pick up the garbage?"
They are, if they are made out of wood.
I don't think the issue is that languages change per se - it's that they borrow features from other languages, that people ask "can we have $feature from $language please?"

in JS (and years before that, PHP), one example was object-oriented programming / classes, except in both JS and PHP it was never implemented fully, with JS not even having access modifiers for a long time. JS didn't need classes and the implementation is lacking, but someone decided it should be added.

Likewise, Java had functional programming bolted on; they never extended the base List types with functional modifiers, so now you have to transform or wrap your List in a Stream to make it work with Java's attempts at functional programming. Personally, I think if you want to do FP or FP-style coding on the JVM, you should rewrite things in Scala. You can write Scala and Java side-by-side.

Same with JS, you want JS but with types? You can have Typescript. I wish they did the same with JS-with-classes, just write a new language that compiles to JS instead of bolt classes onto the JS standard.
Developers love hating on JavaScript, on change, and on "complexification." This is all of the above.

The first comment I read after yours is literally "I hate how much programming languages change"
Cladistics agrees that dolphins and whales are fish.

In the sense that they share an ancestor with all fish.

A few high-tech companies that make really important things that consumers never hear about.

* Renishaw. Precision measurement and manufacturing.
* Spectris. Scientific instruments. Precision components.
* Oxford Instruments. All sorts of high-tech stuff used in science and research

Rolls Royce aerospace is pretty cool.
There are some defence related companies that do tech stuff. Radar, guidance systems, battlefield comms, that sort of thing.
Formula One tech is mostly British. MclLaren, Red Bull Racing, Mercedes are all UK based.
SUVs have bigger tires, and thus better grip. Much better snow clearance too.
Also, my parents both axels on their cars two times from winter pot holes.
Cars can be made cheaper, and it really shows. Budget car vs Budget SUV, It's not even close.

Also, electric battery range almost halves in cold weather.

I get this. I only ever buy used and never buy newer than '05. You are relegated to what was popular 20 years ago.
> I can forgive them for this underhand revenue stream.

I can't. It doesn't matter if they give drugs away for free, GoodRx is a bad actor. Exactly the sort of company that needs to lose all their customers.
> There is a notion of success ... which I think is novel in the history of science. It interprets success as approximating unanalyzed data.

Yes! Yes! Yes! As I've been arguing for years, we've already plucked the low-hanging fruit of science. The vast majority of additional progress will have to be made by using what are essentially black box models, and the proof of a good model will be how well it approximates new data, not how nice the mathematical equation looks or how well it can be explained intuitively.
I remember SSB being fairly useful for Weatherfax some years ago, where you plug the radio audio jack into your computer, which had some software to decode the faxes from audio and you get a map of all the bad weather.

I feel like what you describes leaves some large holes in what could be done with radio. Automatic exchange of intended route info for eg could be useful in areas of high traffic. Maybe something LoRa shaped could some of fit them, given its fairly large range.
Please dont assume, if you dont know. Growing oxide, doping silicon, depositing metal, grinding all take substantial time. Even if you do a magical „no logistics everything in one place machine fab“ it would still be months of non-stop operation to do 200-300 process steps required.
Yeah, same for enums in Swift. Although with classes in Swift it's not quite like a runtime GC. Static code is inserted to retain and release. Afaik the arc optimizer uses an ownership model to optimize placement of retain/releases.

I have been out of C# programming for over a decade now, but in Swift most guidance actually discourage use of classes, while a lot of types in the stdlib use a "Copy on Write" pattern where a struct contains a class that acts as a backing store. This gives the type value semantics but guarantees assignments will be cheap, only when the backing data is modified and the reference count is not unique is the data copied.
Sounds like prison, but the result was interesting. When I was laid off, and decided to take a month before looking. There were a lot of "life housekeeping" tasks that I decided to do. Looking back I'd recommend to anybody looking to change jobs to try your best to take some time between them, it gives you a different perspective on life when you don't have to worry about a job. It's like a short early retirement. I think you would need a minimum of 3 weeks to really realize the effect.

Something else about those tasks they mentioned, this is how I procrastinate. When I'm really disengaged with something I really don't want to do, I end up mopping the floors, doing laundry, or some other mundane task I don't like doing. Only to feel bad about the procrastination later. When you're intentionally taking time away from something that consumes so much of your life like work, priorities rearrange pretty quickly. I stopped drinking as much on weekends, and my sleep schedule adjusted in a way where I was waking up much earlier because I wasn't staying up all night trying to squeeze as much "free time" before work the next day.
I'm going to try this but start with say ten minutes.

Go on, what's the downside?
After reading the comments we updated the article
For practical purposes, tomatoes are vegetables, peanuts are nuts, and palm trees are trees.

Tomatoes and peanuts are primarily known to be useful as food, and in the context of food, they fill the niche of vegetables and peanuts, respectively. Palm trees are useful pretty much only decoratively and to provide shade (unless you harvest them, which most people don't) so they have exactly the same utility as trees, making them trees.

It's interesting to think about how these things are biologically different from the other things in their practical category, but we strip away the utility of placing things into categories if we try to apply them outside of the context in which the category is... useful. So unless you're in a biology lesson (or you are a botanist, or just having fun with facts), tomatoes are vegetables.
What is the definition of “similar rectangle”?
I posit that that would make a huge difference in the public. Most people I know, both technical and non-technical, don’t realize such nuances until put in direct laymen’s terms when seeing anything legal related. It’s why companies use dark patterns and vague language around accepting TOSes, EULAs, etc.
