It's interesting how confirmation bias can lead to a case based on a faulty premise. The objection always seemed like a long shot. I wonder if additional research will find anything of interest. Of course, the suggestion that the drug is "safe" is not at all accurate, since it is intended to be deadly to the child.
I think “damned if you do, and damned if you don’t” does not adequately capture the issue here.

Police departments are incentivized/required to respond to SWATs as genuine incidents; therefore, they are not “damned” by this situation. It is the victims of the SWAT that are “damned”. The article says that a SWAT costs $10,000 US, but that cost is borne by the taxpayer and so it would be up to municipalities to deal with the risk of looking weak on crime or just pay the bill.

However, if the police were to not respond to an emergency that required a SWAT team that actually needed one, then they would be accused of not doing their jobs and being “damned” in that fashion.

My sad conclusion is that police departments and the different levels of government are not incentivized to solve this problem because the rich, the powerful, and enough of the voting public are sufficiently shielded from the negative consequences.
> This is not to defend the terrible things being done to this guy, but if he just went dark people would lose interest/age out of fucking with him.

It's my understanding that he flagrantly disregards law-enforcement's advice. Any time he is tweeted at — let alone SWATed — he makes a large public spectacle. He often compulsively replies to every single person on Twitter, including branded company accounts, accusing them of being criminal stalkers.

To reiterate, that is in no way a defense of what people are doing to him, but he is by no means doing himself any favours by how he reacts. Though, how a police department can be so incompetent that they continually respond to phony calls is beyond me.

Is it even possible to submit a podcast to Spotify, Apple, etc. without an RSS feed

https://support.spotify.com/us/podcasters/article/your-rss-f...

AFAIK, every podcast has an RSS feed and these are searchable via itunes.apple.com or another aggregator API.

If a website does not include a link to an RSS feed that does not necessarily mean there is no available feed.
Epitaths is a Google thing. I had a friend at Qualcomm who wrote a script to sample the employee phonebook every morning before work so he'd know if he were laid off. We used "ph" from UIUC and the company strangely laid people off not by deleting them but instead by putting them into department 700, "The laid-off department".

The web UI allowed elaborate queries so the first time there was a big layoff the ph web page almost went down because everyone was querying to find out who was laid off. Management got mad at this but they really shouldn't have; its correct that you shouldn't work someplace that tries to hide attrition no matter what the source!

My friend never got put into dept 700 because i recruited him into Google a few years later ...
> A lot of guns drawn breaking down door situations could be made a lot less dangerous if police stop assuming they need to break in right now.

Sure, but "right now" is a matter of perspective. There just is not a great answer to hostages being taken by armed & violent criminals. At a certain point you either need to take the initiative, or you're just responding to an opponents initiative. The best case in a situation where the criminals don't give up is an indefinite and expensive situation where dozens of highly paid people stand by feeding pizza to terrorists with a Twitter/Cnn/Facebook simulcast. Someone has to make a move at some point.

That said, I do agree with you in principle. If you can get as much information as possible while building rapport, thats ideal. Unfortunately, this isn't always an option and it is very unlikely there will be a good outcome as both parties have diametrically opposed incentives. As you stall for time and gain reinforcements the bargaining power of your side goes up, forcing a more aggressive posture from the other party. That's sort of the Nash equilibrium here, a good outcome is probably an on the ground plea deal with limited violent exchange. Not agreeing violence is the answer but not every hostage taker is John Gruber or the Money Heist crew.

Edit: I think this was kind of the rationale on 9/11. Most hostage situations on planes were resolved without huge casualties[1] and then all of a sudden non-rational actors kamikaze the planes, not only killing themselves and the hostages, but using the plane as a weapon. There are a lot of versions of this happening that substantiate taking action. I'm glad I'll likely never have to call the shots on something like this.

Once upon a time I had to track down a catastrophic performance failure (process that should have taken a few minutes couldn't finish in the THREE DAYS allotted to it as a maximum runtime) that turned out to be because it was using a hand-rolled "simple" JSON parser instead of just pulling in Newtonsoft.
You’d be surprised how difficult it can be to create such a scenario and detect when you do, especially using a synthetic benchmark.

In terms of regular io, did you remember to do O_DIRECT? Also yes, I/O paths are slower than mmap for pure throughput in most cases. Databases are a special snowflake though. In some ways you’d want the I/O layer in the kernel like with a filesystem which is why databases typically go the other way and try to bypass the kernel to keep their code in user space

> Fifty years from now, to viewers of photos your backyard is going to seem incredibly exotic.

I don't know if I agree. I think part of the allure of these old photographs is partly based on how rare and special (for lack of a better word) photography was back then. Each photograph was planned or thought out for the most part and very few people had cameras to take photographs. There isn't a treasure trove of images available and that is what makes these old images interesting.

Fifth years from now, there will be billions of pictures of people's backyards online, with most people thinking theirs are special.
I spent 10 years playing on a keyboard with unweighted keys and I'm rather certain it affected my desire to practice. The other large part was that my teacher did not spend much time on theory with me.

Also, when recitals came around it was a big shift to playing on a grand piano with real weighted keys, and that, coupled with the nerves of playing in front of an audience, often led to mistakes.

I think the weighted keys help you feel more physically connected to the instrument with more of your body. Unweighted keys require the same involvement as typing on a computer keyboard.

> For example, I actually answered Rich’s last question but didn’t get a reply because it didn’t fit into the bit.

You didn't get a reply because I haven't been on the site.

You also didn't answer my question. You posted a blog post alleging that specific claims had been made. I acknowledged that the allegations seemed serious and asked if the video in question was available to be viewed, to which you simply responded "no."

Saying "you can easily find examples" is disingenuous when many of the examples are making or repeating claims that are either unsourced or with dubious evidence. For example, the linked article seems to omit context that took me "10 seconds" to find.
I am 24, and I know life will get in the way at some point of early 30s, or late 20s. I want that to happen.

Before that happens, I want to learn as much as possible, spread myself over diverse fields of knowledge. That doesn't happen here.

I left the job last week, because I was directly told to work on each Saturday and shamed for working only 7-8 hours where others put 13-14 hours.

Nobody can sustain 13-14 hours each day. Point is, others are not Computer Engineers, and go out to have cigarettes or spend time on FB to "relax". There's no appetite for improvement in most of them. Or a career change. So, they can toe the line and warm the seat for 9-11 hours, and then do more work from home.

Exactly. I was browsing LinkedIn this week when I stumbled in this gem: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/samfjacobs_last-month-i-was-a...

So what he's saying is that he got together with 130+ other CEOs, who combined will probably make millions if not billions, bitching that the people who do the actual grunt work (and make a couple of thousand a month) aren't putting in extra hours or looking at their work mail on weekends.

This is so far from reality it's staggering. I work with, and among young developers every day. I'm in my forties and I've done so for most of ny career. Beyond a healthy work life balance they are just sick of working without a fair share of the benefits.

These people aren't less prone to work hard, they just don't want to work hard to make extremely wealthy people more wealthy.

Some are working less for their employer, and in the meantime are working for themselves to create new disruptive startups.

The article says CEOs are "worried", but it also states that these workers should fear for their jobs because they are going to be made obsolete by AI.

The reality is that small companies can get much more work done in less time than big ones, I have worked for both.
The bigger a company gets, the slower it becomes.
Yes, even the original link admits their "simple is better" solution is only better in limited use cases.

Not demoscene related, but I can see it intersects your interests of games and music: 8-bit music theory on YouTube covers music in depth which often includes diving into a musician's unique styles.
FWIW, I think you've made a clear, defensible point. I'm unsure if I agree with it, but given the exasperated/incredulous response you're getting, I'd pull the ripcord. People seem unwilling to engage in good faith here. But I appreciated your thoughts!
Cops are easy to fool because of CYA security posture.

What you say, makes sense.

But where I was, there was no clear boundary between my work and more work.

When I am done with my work, I am handed others' work. So, zero time to learn other things and grow. Or read books. Or anything, really.

So, I quit last week.
> they’d be in a world of hurt if they didn’t respond to a legitimate call

How do you figure? There are no consequences for them, and not responding to legitimate calls is ubiquitous.

If there were consequences, they would be suffering them for what they've inflicted on the victim in this story.
You have missed the point. The goal is humanity becoming Star Trek and enclosing every star in a Dyson Sphere; the goal is determining whether 4 is true or false. The question is what is stopping it. The entire point of these thought exercises is setting up proof by contradictions/falsifiable experiments to narrow that down.

Maybe (4 is false) is inevitable now that humanity has reached its current point. Maybe literally every human-like species will become Star Trek and enclose every star in a Dyson Sphere; that would be awesome since it means our goal is now a foregone conclusion. But how would we know? Well, we can do a thought experiment assuming it and extrapolate toward characteristics that we might be able to detect to falsify our hypothesis.

Well if literally every human-like species will enclose every star in the future, then we should not be able to see any stars at some point after one comes into existence. We can still see stars, therefore either it has not happened yet (1), there are no other human-like species (2), or the supposition is false (3). If the supposition is false, then there are risks ahead of us. If the supposition is true, then the risks are behind us, but then (1) or (2) must be true. For (1) to be true, we must either be early or it takes a long time. For (2) to be true, we must either be early or rare. If we can rule out (1) and (2), then we must conclude (3) which means we can be confident that there must be a risk ahead of us preventing us from reaching our goal that we as a species need to be wary of even if we do not know what it is specifically. We just know it has to exist otherwise we would see no stars.

If (1) or (2) is true, then (3) no longer needs to be true. It might still be the case that the goal is impossible, but at least we have a chance. The point of this analysis is trying to theorize where we need to look that gives humanity the most information about if and how to become Star Trek. It is not about coming up with the "correct" answer; we do not have enough information for that. We are trying to create theories that take facts that we can find (or can in theory find) as inputs and generate predictions that can be tested and falsified.
You're making a very flawed argument, because Google isn't going to share their users data with 3rd parties either.

It's literally their business to gobble up as much data as they can get their hands on and sabotage anyone trying to do the same in order to become the only viable choice for Internet marketing campaigns.

Apple only sells marketing on the app store, so their privacy violations only extend so far for now. I hope it stays like that, but my gut tells me that the water will continue to get muddier over the years. But that's a future issue.

That mesa issue reminded me of wayland issue thats been open for 3 years now where apps crash if theres even a slight stall due to the wayland socket becoming full. Instead of providing quick fix for actual app devs and users who are affected most, they have been designing this perfect solution for apps and compositor to agree on the socket size for 3 years now. Its similar crap with the server size decorations where they finally had to admit people want them and merged the protocol but don't implement it in gnome compositor :) I'd say wayland really was barebones when it was being pushed and major contributions to actually get it usable on desktop was from outsiders.

I'd say win32/flatpak/libretro are the only sane way for games to target linux right now. The fact that linux doesn't have real "runtime" and major components required by games link against libc is what makes linux really unstable for anything that needs to open window, draw stuff using GPU and play audio. It's possible to create static binaries for linux that work for eternity, thanks to kernel being actually stable. But link against something in /usr/lib and it all goes to hell. If the GPU drivers and libs that provided basic window / audio did not depend on libc and were standalone, the situation would be much better.

One case I saw it used was for processing genomics data. It was kinda ok at first but when we needed to add a new sequencing type it was laborious.

A digital currency using ~844 kWh per transaction is absolutely bonkers. This is irrespective of any fees, taxes, or commissions associated with the transaction. If I buy real estate with bitcoin, all of those would still apply, but my choice of using bitcoin would result in an extra 844 kWh of energy consumed compared to using cash. Bonkers.
Not even close. I think a 1gbps ip transit hookup at a data center goes for $200-400 a month right now. And you can push 192TB a month with that. That's not the bulk cost, they buy larger amounts in volume and probably get a huge discount on it. In fact given their size, they might not pay for it at all (peering agreements), so it's just operating costs.
That only occurs due to abusive IP detection

Thank you crypto.
An easy method to learn new music (I saw this on a YouTube video by Jazer Lee):

Practice very short sections, like 2 measures. Play the left hand perfectly 7 times, the right hand perfectly 7 times, and then together perfectly 7 times. If you mess up even 1 note, that doesn't count toward your 7 reps. If practicing 2 measures, I'd include the first note of the 3rd measure too. Then when you start with the 3rd measure, you will be connecting with the previous 2 measures.

This is great. A lot of these points were critical things I had to learn the long way in college. Rewriting notes is a huge one for me.

> 3.7. Don't Take Notes on a Computer

The amount of notes I typed up in my personally designed note taking format with custom scripts for compiling them into static sites and PDF documents, all to never look at them again is astounding. The best notes I ever had were the ones I wrote on paper. Just being able to draw picture of what you're learning makes typed notes so much harder.

Especially in computer science, there are so many things I'd want to draw. Drawing a B Tree on paper is so much easier and better than having to do ASCII art on the fly while your professor is going to the next slide.
