> She (the Sheriff) kept mentioning how he could have been run over, or kidnapped or 'anything' could have happened,

This is weird. Is the crime so bad in the town? Even the good-for-nothing cops in my (developing) country do not come up with such nonsense.

This is American policing, I've been pulled over or even detained for just walking several times. I think it's a combination of power tripping, nothing better to do with large police forces and many vehicles, and a fundamental distrust of any transport that isn't a car. And of course the legal and moral framework that allows for random abuses of rights and an overall acceptance of a papers-please force.

Hate to ask but are you a person of color? My brown friends have been pulled over and stopped while just walking around many more times than me (plain white dude). I have been pulled over one time in my life and never so much as had more more than a “hi how are you doing?”from a cop on the street.

FWIW I had my car get totaled while I was a freshman in college and walked to it the day after. Cops stopped me 3 times on approx a 6mi walk, wouldn't leave me the fuck alone until I pulled out ID. I'm white and this was in NJ, we are not a stop and identify state. Apparently teen walking down the road with a backpack in middle of day is suspicious.

This was around 17 years ago, cant imagine how ridiculous it is now.

Instead, the sheriff is going to come handcuff mom and ~kidnap~ arrest her, in front of the kids. That shouldn't harm them at all, right?

There's something missing about this story somewhere.

Apparently not knowing where your kid is IS the crime. Which is rampant in the countryside, RAMPANT!

Rampant across Europe/Japan/South America/... why would anyone not let their kids outside exploring/walking/exercising?

Many cops in the US have a massive superiority complex

Yeah, but wouldn't the sheriff making the comment be own goaling the situation. Wouldn't her scenarios imply that she's shite at her job so that crimes like these are prevalent?

No no, you see, the tremendous crime rate in the city is why voters should support giving the sheriff loads more unchecked power, and loads more money to buy MRAPs and AR-15s.

After witnessing the past decade, do you think even immediate logical contraditions matter in the least? Especially for the kind of people that think that society should be some kind of authority hierarchy, which is essentially a prerequisite of being a cop?

It's precisely that lack of awareness on their part that makes Cartman's "respect my authority" funny or any other trope as well like Tackelberry from Police Academy work (for the old farts) or Farva from Super Troopers (for those slightly less old).

Teaches the kids what the cops are about.

The busybodies don't realize that they are themselves a threat to kids' wellbeing. Nine times out of ten kids are better off with bad parents than with no parents.

They need to justify their military-level gear. If the city is nice and calm, they won’t get armored vehicles.

interesting, given that kids in Atlanta GA are REQUIRED to walk to and from school if they live a mile away.

There is no crime actually mentioned. What are the charges?

>If the state does prosecute, Patterson could face a reckless conduct charge, a $1,000 fine, and a year in jail.

From the article, apparently it's "reckless conduct"

That sounds very ambiguous. Is installing Windows XP on an internet connected PC considered reckless? Is it driving a vintage car?

Sounds about right, it's one of those charges like "obstructing justice" that is so broad the cops can throw it out when there wasn't any real crime

Thank you, I missed that. Man, it'd be interesting to see what a jury would say. What's your peer group doing?

Would that actually hold up in court?

IANAL but I doubt it. There are school districts in GA that require kids to walk up to a mile and a half each way before bussing in mandated. Additionally, no jury of your rural peers would ever agree with those charges. I am stunned myself at the lunacy. I live in a rural area and given the size of their property I assume they do as well. My next door neighbor lives almost a mile from us. Granted I don't live in GA but I can't imagine any rural sheriff being re-elected on a platform that kids can't be trusted to walk to their neighbors house or to their little town.

Unlike several other authoritarian regimes, this is very much constitutional in China. Every institution pretty much reports to the CCP.

Really? That's fantastic. In the US, three-letter government agencies work outside the scrutiny of the law.

In China, "there are no three-letter government agencies".

Congratulations! Were you default alive prior to the acquisition?

With our current growth rate and no additional hiring we would’ve been profitable in less than 12 months :)

By that reasoning even Churchill is a terrorist.

Which they would probably agree to. Purists do not care for practical matters such arbitrating what would be the best course of action in order to have the less casualties because for them the only acceptable number of casualties is zero because any war and casualty is immoral.

I have sympathy for this kind of reasoning because it's been mine for a long time. There is something important for the preservation of the self in refusing all kinds of wrong in the world. The problem is that by refusing to engage with the world, they can affect nothing (and probably accept that, everybody should just stop being immoral, that's easy in their mind)

If you include his treatment of subjects of the British Raj, there’s plenty of folks that will agree with that labeling.

Nope. India is pretty huge. There's no way they can "wipe India off" even when India doesn't retaliate.

Why are people surprised when two heavily sanctioned nations start colluding?

Those rules should be enabled by default.

ESLint rules that require type information (not just stripping types) are prohibitively expensive for larger code bases.

As far as I know, there isn't any kind of tsconfig rule to disallow this (please correct me if I'm missing something here!). So unless you're using tools I don't know about, this is kind of a mandatory last bastion of "any".

You can disallow any, enable the strictest possible null/undefined checks (including noUncheckedIndexedAccess). And there's also the assertion TS check that normally prevents erroneous type assertions.

But "as unknown as MyType" is not preventable by means of tsc, as far as I know. Unless there's an option I don't know do disable this kind of assertion (or even all assertions).

How large is too large and what counts as prohibitive? We're using lints with types on over a million lines of TypeScript and the lints are instant inside of the editors. They take a good 10 minutes to run in CI across the whole project, but that's shorter than the tests which are running in parallel.

Good point, I was talking about similarly sized code bases, yes.

Because of the hefty CI runtime increase, myself I opposed to adding it. We have lots of parallel branches that people work on and many code reviews every day, where the CI just needs to run from a clean slate so to speak.

But most of the current long CI run penalty in the frontend of that comes from tsc, not ESLint, in my case.

I might look into it again.

In the project there already are all kinds of optimizations (caching to speed up full Ci runs with common isolated parts of a monorepo).

And for TS, project references + incremental builds for development are used, tsc in a monorepo would be miserable without them.

I think it depends on your code and dependencies. At work, the time between making a change in our codebase (which is much smaller than a million LOC) to having ESLint update itself in the IDE can take 5+ seconds, depending on what you changed. But we also use some pretty over-engineered, generic-heavy dependencies across our entire codebase.

lint-staged on pre-commit and full lint in CI solves this problem very well.

I am planning a switch to Kotlin just because it seems more readable. As someone who has done both how do you rate Kotlin's STL?

The standard library plus the growing number of multi platform libraries covers a lot of stuff at this point. There are still some things that are a bit lacking but most of those things have people working on them.

It barely has a standard library. You’ll be dependent on the standard library of whatever platform you are targeting. JVM -> Java, Web -> JS.

Isn't that ID fraud?

It's not ID fraud, it's disrupting the personal location space

That connotes lawlessness unnecessarily. These are just companies trying to enforce stupid rules.

You won't be thrown into prison for it, but it's a fireable offense. Isn't that worth noting?

Being a worker is a fireable offense. Don’t do this, but also don’t pretend you have any safety whatsoever just because you follow master’s rules. Your working relationship is tenuous in perpetuity.
