Yeah, and I just demonstrated that my local PD is (generally) accountable. Meanwhile, when I went to college ~100 miles away, man, the PD was horrific. They even lied on a police report I tried to file when I was robbed and said to my face

Mine is not. So it's sad that you feel that way. Mine just sent a guy on ten day suspension WITHOUT PAY for getting mad at his kids football game and throwing a helmet. He was off-duty and still reflected poorly on the profession and h

Sounds like you should move if your PD department is that terrible. And I'm being serious. If it's that big of a problem for you, and you're getting robbed at gunpoint, GET THE CRAP OUT OF THERE.

My local PD recently sent a guy home for 10 days WITHOUT pay for merely getting mad at his son's football game and throwing a helmet. It was unbecoming of their professional standards (even off-duty) and he's representing the comm

Yeah, I agree 100%. The last thing we want is women getting paid for jobs they choose to apply for. Then they'll be independent and we can't have that.

Everyone is chiming in with anecdotes. Maybe they're all correct. But I definitely remember fireflies being everywhere at my parents house and turning the sky into a shimmering display... and I rarely see more then a few fireflies at a

The solution to government corruption is more government! Man, this thread is great for a chuckle. The same people saying that wouldn't say, "The solution to police brutality, is more police to watch the police." Then we&#x27

In the working world, what matters is you ship. The most beautiful code and best "game ever designed" means nothing if it doesn't ship. Additionally, in my years of working as a contractor, I can tell you that nearly 1 in 1,0

I agree 100%. Privacy is sacred and a human right. Zero Democrats voted for the PATRIOT Act and continue to support dragnet surveillance and serve on their committees, and Edward Snowden wasn't a felon under the Obama Administration.

I honestly find it suspect that the media is full of "russia! russia! russia!", but nobody ever mentions China, which is in a far greater position for war (1.6 MILLION TROOPS) and accounts for like 28% of all known hack attempts.

That doesn't make a whole lot of sense when the guy above you posted that two versions of python (2 vs 3) have significantly different output throughput rates. If it's I/O bound why are they changing at all?
