Because that's how they manufacture probable cause. If they can manufacture probable cause, they can search the car for things that are valuable enough to justify the paperwork.

It's not just any degree, though. In addition to that, there is a set of classes that you have to complete (each med school has their own requirements, but practically speaking, they're roughly the same: http://www.geor

If it's 4 years old, that WD Red is from before WD pulled the SMR shenanigans. The TLDR is they switched the WD Red drives from CMR to SMR technology without announcing it or noting it on drive specifications, and then when they got ca

Yeah, anything non-SMR and with RAID-focused firmware should be fine. For WD specifically that means Red Plus not Red, because Red has SMR. Seagate Ironwolves should be just fine, but I haven't bought any since the WD version was cheap

how much time is freenas administration taking? That's what i use, and i barely need to spend time on it, so i'm not sure how much time you can save switching. If the issue is power, then you can stick with freenas as well just wi

For most people I agree with that. Heck, that's basically what I'm doing with my vdevs, since they're all mirrors. But I think there's a semi-common exception: people who are using ZFS where they are maxing out the drive

agreed, but some people dislike that because you have to have an E_UKNOWN or E_GENERAL or something like that in addition to more specific errors and others dislike it because now there's not something to conveniently store results fro

In C when you have nothing that needs cleanup, it's not the most horrible thing ever: int foo(thing_t \*work) { int ret = E_SUCCESS; if(work->thing == BAD_THING) { ret = E_BAD; goto exit; } do_som

We like OpenAPI first because it's more exact than pure typescript types. I suppose there's libraries we could use to give us a similar level of exactness that would also get us typescript types and OpenAPI with similar exactness
73.
by joshAg 6y ago
We go the other way. We start with openAPI, use dtsgenerator to spit out typescript types, and then use a library (typescript-is) that will generate run-time type check function as part of compilation. A downside to this is that you need to

We decided against io-ts because we'd still have to write the validator ourself (unless we used their type system as the source of truth, which wouldn't easily work for our project because we generate most of our types from an ope

That's a great idea! What's the other built-in that you shadow?

by joshAg 6y ago
If you're not using a bunch of generics, check out typescript-is [1]. It takes little work to get it setup, but it generates run time type checks for you. I understand why typescript decided to not add this functionality to the core o

Not as bad as 10,000%, but the bank of england estimates an average inflation rate of 4.2%[1], so it's within an order of magnitude. (25M - 300) / 300 is only like 8200%, but bank of england puts the current value of 300 1917 pou

Sometimes they do, but they just don't care that certain (or even all) employees are as productive as possible. They might even have a fancy graph showing how they're optimizing for some unit of productivity per unit of cost, so m

The problem is that $12/hr is still "in poverty". You've set up a false dichotomy between everyone out of poverty vs most farther out of poverty, but some still in poverty. There's literally nowhere in the US where

It doesn't have to be no, but having it incentivizes both sides to spend time and money on capturing the regulatory authority to tip the scales in their favor, and american companies are really great at regulatory capture.

There used to be something similar around telephone lines in the US, where bell had to let competitors use the lines at cost or something similar, but that way tends to lie madness because of fights over what the actual cost of maintenance

Because america is so anti-socialist. No, seriously. And it's the same reason why PG&E does such a shit job of maintaining their infrastructure, too. Letting anyone tear up the street to run their own wires whenever they want isn&#

For an infotainment system, or even things like AC and fan speeds, this sounds pretty cool. But for the dataplane software responsible for dashboard clusters and the like, this scares the hell out of me, because linux isn't an RTOS and
