Giving a huge benefit of doubt, that barely explains their initial behavior. The guy had two hands full when he was shoved. We can see that in the video. The officers continued to get closer and closer to the man. They were approaching him.

I don't think intent is a verb. It is either a noun or adjective. In the sentence "She is intent on winning the election" the verb would be "is" and "intent" is an adjective that describes her. Compare: Hi

Using a highly addictive thing responsibly is trickier than a list of bullet points that worked for you. Everyone starts out using thinking "I can keep this in control".

Those armies of high paid lawyers are not always right. Plenty of companies get it wrong and then pay the price in court.

Ah ok, by "numpy wouldn't work in JS" you meant something like it wouldn't be popular or as loved. Makes more sense now.

It was my primary role. I coded for many hours every day as CEO. It did make for a lot of long days. I can identify as both CEO and programmer. And musician and other things. No need for gatekeeping.

It would work. All those overridden operators are just functions. It wouldn't be as concise or as intuitive though.

You don't know that. I have served as CEO and still coded every day.

Some parts of Brasil decided to not observe daylight savings this year. I had to file a bug with Chrome which was converting dates in JS off by one hour for some Brazilian cities. Firefox got it right. If a couple of years ago you had store

Jeremy Howard developed the fastai library using Jupyter Notebooks and his nbdev tool[1]. I'm not saying that to disagree with your claim - I don't have enough experience with Jupyter Notebooks yet to have much of a strong opinion

That claim doesn't even pass a simple common sense test: why would Node.js developers be so much more influenced by Bob Martin (of object oriented and Java fame) than developers in other languages? And it's not even entirely true.

That could be just strong signal from folks who have used both Postgres and MySQL and who don't want to go back to MySQL. An object store like MongoDB might not even be a consideration. At my current client, there is zero chance of goi

Some of those stats could use better context. At least for what I am curious about. Just for example, the years of experience of developers who visit SO. It would be interesting if we knew that in the larger world, equal number of programme

They aren't always false promises and handouts. Lobbyists get paid big bucks to bribe, oops, I mean to inform politicians on policy. Those promises often get delivered. Unfortunately.

Poor and impoverished? No need to repeat yourself. Maybe there should be a writing test before one could vote. We could come up with all sorts of elitist barriers.

Two of the teams I worked on supported a couple thousand devs each. So going in I thought it would be everyone using specialized diagramming tools. But the majority did not. I don't do much architecture these days, but I've bookma

Things that surprised me: 1. Many IT architects use simple tools for diagrams. The most common in my industry were PowerPoint and Google Slides. Even for very complex diagrams that can cover an entire wall. 2. Other architects will abuse di

I guess every company defines the architecture role differently. When I worked as an IT architect we never talked with developers or even looked at their code. There were 2000+ developers and less than a hundred architects. What it sounds l
