In the real world, wealth is relatively easily measured and crime rate is not. The question no one seems to be willing to answer is: why do you believe poor people commit more crime?
Yes but it was very small and not sustainable. Today’s internet is probably much better than the internet from the 70s - 90s.

I was referring to the 2000s to 2010 internet where creators often built useful free tools and websites around making a living through ads.

> to implement mTLS at scale, you need something like a service mesh

What makes you think that?
It's biasing the sample. For example, drug usage among teens are roughly the same between white, hispanic and african americans but african americans are more likely to be arrested and charged for drug possession or usage. Here the difference is probably because african americans are stopped and searched more even though their usage is about the same as whites.

> I've been screaming this for years: there was never a rational reason not to buy off-the-shelf solutions. This problem is identical to those faced by thousands, even millions, of other organizations. The solution has been developed and refined for decades. Why should a single school district try to reinvent the wheel from scratch?

The article does call it the "build-from-scratch EMPower program that never was able to adapt to the complicated needs of public education employees". But it goes on to say "The original contractor for the EMPower system was SAP, with Infosys responsible for implementation" – was it really "from-scratch" or was it just off-the-shelf SAP payroll?

What I suspect is the real story: public sector very often has complex and unique rules, which business systems (payroll included) designed for the private sector struggle to handle. In the private sector, there is a lot of flexibility to change the rules, so if you buy an off-the-shelf payroll system, you'll often choose to change your business practices to work with it, rather than try to customise it to handle your pre-existing business practices. But in the public sector, due to laws, regulations, unions and politics, that approach is very often impossible, so you have no choice but to make the system work for your unique needs – and it is unsurprising that such attempts often turn into expensive failures.

The article also says:

> The school board is expected to approve a new contract on March 12 with Frontline Education, which offers a system in wide use among California school districts

This is something else I've seen before – often mainstream vendors (such as SAP or Oracle) whose products work well for your average private sector business struggle with unique needs of public sector entities, but there are often smaller niche vendors which have specialised solutions pre-built to meet the unique needs of entities of that particular type (such as California school districts)–and even when customisations still turn out to be necessary, often have greater domain-specific expertise which makes it likely they'll get them implemented successfully and for a more reasonable price

How to think about implementation of such things.

Since everything is a list, and then a list of lists. You must begin with learning atomic list operations. Them being-

1. Accessing the first element of a list.

2. Accessing the remainder of a list.

3. Using 1. and 2. You can iterate a list.

4. Once you can iterate a list, you can iterate two lists. To find common elements, or element common to lists based on a criteria.

5. Swap elements, store elements etc.

Ideally all operations can be built from learning list operations.

How to think about recursion

Finally the most easiest answer of all. Just don't use for loops to do anything. Begin by imagining your programming language doesn't have a for loop. Now write code. This is how you write recursive code.
Quite the opposite actually. Hetzner asks my passport to verify me.
Playing with it on a Commodore 64 emulator, I can kind of see the appeal. Writing equivalent programs in BASIC vs White Lightning Forth, the Forth version is substantially faster, without being that much more difficult than BASIC once you figure RPN out.

I used an HP calculator in high school and use an HP emulator on my iPhone, so I'm already pretty good with RPN, so the weird syntax is coming fairly natural to me, and it's substantially easier than doing everything in raw assembly.
If you want to learn how to understand the performance of the whole system I can recommend Brendan Gregg's Systems Performance: Enterprise and the Cloud (https://www.brendangregg.com/blog/2020-07-15/systems-perform...). It is a good book that teaches a lot of basics and techniques and gives a good understanding of the impact different system components can have on performance.

I wrote a library a while back which implements this. It handles all the edge cases, provides the ability to measure message backpressure and allows you to close or abruptly kill a stream:

https://github.com/SocketCluster/writable-consumable-stream?...

It has full test coverage and is a core part SocketCluster which has almost full e2e test coverage.

To put it in perspective, the library itself is very lightweight with under 300 lines of code including dependencies (only 1 of them) and has 1.6K lines of test code...

It supports concurrent consumption/iteration by default (each consuming loop causes a new async iterator to be created implicitly in accordance with the AsyncIterator spec) but it also gives you the ability to manually create consumer streams using `stream.createConsumer()` for cases where you want to start buffering messages some time before consuming/iterating over them.

In Seattle, the bank tellers are behind bulletproof glass. In the surrounding communities, there's no bulletproof glass.

I don't think it's more police presence that causes banks to install the armor. More likely it's the lack of police presence that results in armored banks.
nah it's not the same now. Others previously of course were 'we're doing our thing and we're the freshest' - but we knew of or about what came before. We knew there was a reason how we got here. In many cases like music etc we were actually very interested in the elders and history!

Now it's "this is the thing currently" and it might as well have just appeared out of thin air, no context, no past, and not really any future either, only right now, and with fleeting attention spans, gone in a short while also. (like the example elsewhere in here about not learning the slang because it'll be gone in a second anyways) And that leads to trends being appropriated, copied, absorbed like it's nothing. And then forgotten. It's cultureless.
If you're going to be sarcastic, you should to make a point that makes sense.

Nordic countries do something absolutely insane and give these people a home. Unheard of I know right. The only homeless you see are either voluntarily homeless, or part of the mafia that extorts money from people pretending to be homeless (around helsinki its common). But I think it's better to view homes as a investment rather than place for a person to live, it's only way to get the numbers that matter up.

Not saying nordic countries are some sort of perfect countries, but it does remind you that if country does not care about you, why should you care about the country.

Yeah almost nobody there wants independence. It's either joining Ireland or staying in the UK.

Also if the UK permits the vote as part of the good Friday agreement the EU won't have an issue with it. Don't forget they also had no issue with the Scottish independence referendum when the UK was still in the EU.

There was a bit of doubt whether an independent Scotland could join the EU however, which I believe was mostly why they voted to remain part of the UK (ironically due to the Brexit vote that came after they had to leave the EU anyway, they probably would have been able to stay in the EU if they had voted to leave the UK!)

But if NI joins Ireland there won't be any issue from the EU side I think. The situation will be very different to Catalonia.

Here's a decent article because this happened in recent weeks (1). The numbers they cite there are 89% of alerts lead to no reports of gun crime and 86% lead to no crime reports at all.

All that being said, the metrics are horribly flawed because they assume police will actually investigate anything after dispatch and that the investigation will turn anything up. Believing that CPD is going to case a neighborhood looking for GSR and shell casings with a forensics team is a tall order. If there isn't someone bleeding out in the street there probably isn't going to be a police report filed.

And even that said - ShotSpotter is useless because it requires police to do their job to be useful. When Reddit is better at tracking gang violence than cops, no fancy audio forensics tool is going to help.

> The causation more likely goes the other way: When an area gets the reputation of being higher crime (because of reality or because of bias from more police saturation), that area becomes cheaper to live in, and poorer people can then afford to live there.

Isn’t that called de-gentrification, or maybe ghetto-ization? However, I think it’s the opposite with property crime (richer neighborhoods attract property crime because their is lots of property to steal).
The scenario is different compared to Catalonia, the Catalonia scenario is more like the Scottish independence referendum, a new country would be created in that scenario.

The Good Friday agreement permits Northern Ireland to leave the UK and to join the ROI, there is no path to independence here.

Reunion can only happen by mutual consent of all people in Ireland, and the document demands two simultaneous referenda to occur to fulfil this, one in NI, the other in ROI.

The referendum in NI, can be called at any time the UK’s Secretary of State for NI, deems that it would be likely that it would prove to be successful. This stance is shared by the Tories and Labour in Westminster.

Unlike Catalonia, there is also likely to be wider support for reunion from other important third parties - namely the US and EU - The United States, both from her people and government, proving to be key mediators in the Good Friday negotiations, and subsequent important negotiations like the Richard Haass talks.

The EU, prior to the UK’s withdrawal from it, funded large regeneration and reconciliation projects within NI. I believe this would continue forward post reunification.
Elon's tweet also doesn't mention upload speed. Download speed isn't very useful when your trying to send a MMS showing where your trapped and it's taking tens of minutes to upload.
Firefox is the only browser that implements it. For all the others you need this sort of machinery:

async function* AsAsyncIterable<T>(
readable: ReadableStream<T>,
): AsyncIterable<T> {
const reader = readable.getReader()
try {
while (true) {
const { done, value } = await reader.read()
if (done) return
yield value
}
} finally {
reader.releaseLock()
}
}
That is great. Intelligent reasonable adults can agree to disagree politely about some hot button issue and the resulting discussion could still be good.

- Their philosophies stretch without limits to virtually all subjects and hence every discussion on the site.

- The bundle of rhetorical tactics and behaviors they've adopted to win at all costs (gaslighting, name calling, piling on, upvote rings, downvote rings, strategic flagging abuse)

Tech should be a place for positivity & health & growth. It should a place for what if. The endless reign of the negative voices is hell. Clipping the good people without any regard endlessly is hell. This site is hell.. There is no accountability for what is silenced here, and what is silenced here is the push for the good, the push for the hopeful."

How do we resist this hell? How do we start honest good? Fuck negativity, fuck this hell, fuck these people. Do good anyways, even if these trashweasel crapheels keep rate limiting you for daring to speak for good & hope."

^ I know better than to engage with such a user. The ramen thread is flagged and gone now because of people like that. That wasn't an interesting one so no great loss but many threads and discussions are ruined with very little effort by a small number of such users.

They don't need to outright dominate anything to trash the website. And your moderation hasn't caught him out in the 8 months this individual has been going wild.

That's all. On HackerNews now if people don't buy into the premise that Ramen is sexist the thread is removed. That's the reality now.

So how on earth could we discuss the controversial goings on in Google? We can't. You got boxed in as a mod, reconsider.

This might be insultingly simplistic, but I always thought the phrase "conservation of information" just meant that the time-evolution operator in quantum mechanics was unitary. Unitary mappings are always bijective functions - so it makes intuitive sense to say that all information is preserved. However, it does not follow that this information is useful to actually quantify, like energy or momentum. There is certainly a kind of applied mathematics called "information theory", but I doubt there's any relevance to the term "conservation of information" as it's used in fundamental physics.
