The problem is that, by your definition, the police are turning into an animal too. They're supposed to be better than that and work to lower the tension, but instead they react and escalate things. If they can't be better than th

I think there's a trap whenever you try and pursue an unbiased, universal perspective or theory or truth (and not just in this one space): it can be really easy to lose sight of your own biases and flaws, which always exist, and always

A replacement for blur could just be black boxes. Seems easy and safe enough.

There's a well-known correlation between psychopathic tendencies and holding a CEO position. I would assume that also applies to politicians, to some degree. The thing is that usually these people are good at thinking holistically and

There are. But one would hope the police would hold themselves to a higher standard than an angry mob: that's supposedly why we give them weapons. Seeing them lash out at whoever looks at them the wrong way, it's become clear th

I think one of the most underrated aspects of Rust is its stellar documentation, tooling, community, high-level libraries and general accessibility. The language itself isn't easy per se, but 100% of the difficulty is intrinsic; none o

Was just about to post this! It's a shockingly educational show, and it's really fun to see hard science get the hyper-romanticized "anime treatment"

Geopolitics - ideally separated from personal politics - are a frequent subject of posts/discussion here. Particularly around freedom of speech, authoritarianism, etc. Whether or not they technically should be, it's absolutely the

We've seen multiple murders by police happen on camera in the past couple years, with little to no action taken. The present one is the first case I know of where anyone from inside the government actually called for an investigation

Honestly as a piece of reporting I don't think it could have possibly gone better.

It's become clear time and again that they never open themselves up to actual liability. But it would be interesting to hear how wide the gap is between law and reality in this case.

Agreed. I've started taking multivitamins and aiming to get 15 minutes of sun each day; things I probably should have been doing anyway. Everybody in nutrition disagrees about specific, outsized effects. But pretty much everyone agrees

I had a phone a few years ago that did this. The back was glass and it just made it incredibly slippery against all other surfaces except for hands. The tiniest imbalance would eventually cause it to fall off of things. Pretty annoying; jus

Thanks! I'm very curious about the Rust web space even though it seems to still be in a formative stage. It sounds like you guys are really on the cutting edge

Maybe it's changed, but the title I see doesn't feel clickbait-y. It actually made me think the author was going to have completely failed; I'm glad to see there was some modest success.

It's nice to see a more "normal" anecdote about this process. Usually you only see the SaaS equivalent of unicorns.

It may be unpopular to say here, but I see Node as the best option. - Runtime comes with a package manager - Dependencies (not just imports, but tooling) are fully manifested in a project-local file - Installs dependencies in a project-loca

This aesthetic always reminds me, weirdly enough, of 1971's Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Several scenes go out of their way to look "high-tech", and as a child of the 90s it was one of my few exposures to what that

It's the right platform, but it's the wrong authoring experience for people who might not be able to code at all, much less understand the nuances of CSS and how it interacts with the DOM. People using LaTeX don't want to co

Something I just thought of: with public schools going full-remote, there are lots of lower-income households whose children are really struggling to stay in the loop. Has anyone thought about starting a program to package up Raspberry PIs

$75 for what is honestly a capable desktop computer - even for light development work - and is smaller than a phone and has first-class Linux support. Pretty incredible.

I always assume plugging in an untrusted USB to be security-suicide. At least on Windows it can run arbitrary code, by design . Given that, these bugs don't really affect my threat model at all.

How does it work with shared dependencies? Does each direct npm dependency get bundled with its own copy of each shared dependency, or do those get re-wired to point to a shared module?
