Yes that scenario sucks. Death penalty itself should be trial only with a super high standard of evidence.

I think I am against it in general. I am undecided.

I'd say the main thing is police should show how all leads have been followed, the investigation followed a logical and evidence based approach and all evidence handed to defence.

Pleading guilty has nothing to do with remorse or repentance. It's a legal thing. It is a strategic choice.

I'd love the dog ceo story. It's all this kinda stuff for me:

I used Chat GPT.

It wrote me an app.

If you are a senior engineer you need to panic.

What value are you adding to your team?

You must:

What do you think? Drop comments :handpointingdown:

Tailwind is one of those things you should use once you feel the pain that it solves. Start with CSS. Should be enough!

They should just call it a robotic spacecraft, and then mention private company elsewhere in the sentence if they must.

But you can make it work harder by promising a tenure in 35 years time.

You need new companies to employ them. So maybe online or city based meetups to collaborate the get the new companies started.

They don't have to be startups. They can be consultancies.

You sort of have to go along with it if you want to estimate. The perfect plan and estimate only happens after the completion date.

There are so many unknown deps and unknown opportunities to optimise at the start of a project.

You find those out as you get in the weeds and as the ICs dream a 1am about their code and bring that idea in the next day.

You may like Python! At least the syntax.

Does the lack of movement on Elm even in terms of bugfixes cause any issues? Maybe you use elm-janitor?

Politicians misusing a technical term. I doubt they mean the literal network interface cards and broadband bill. Even if they did it is more than $10. They mean the operation as a service with a human to troubleshoot.

If not, why isn't tailscale free for everyone?

While I agree are we gonna do that? It is like saying why does Twitter need so many people I can do that in a weekend.

It's worse. They see bad things happen, then ask the question "how do I keep my faith in Donald through this"? (Not rhetorically)

Thanks that made it click.

While I understand the CS concepts, I have never really thought about the developer UX before.

This sort of solution appeals to me but I wonder what the trade-off is. I am now sending data about domains I visit and when to a different entity not my ISP, how do I trust them more?

Yeah but why wasn't that converted to human 1 based indexing at the machine code level or assembly in early machines?

Maybe because they didn't want to "hide the bicycle gears"?
