NYPD faces backlash as it prepares to encrypt radio communications | New York | The Guardian
  • Agreed. But I think the right to monitor the police doesn't have to mean real-time access to police radio. The radio could be recorded, like body cam footage, and released on demand with FOIA. FOIA allows redactions when needed, so sensitive information like victims names and addresses could be redacted.

  • 8GB RAM on M3 MacBook Pro 'Analogous to 16GB' on PCs, Claims Apple
  • Have you ever actually seen a laptop lid just break off because the epoxy failed, or is this just a hypothetical? I used my last laptop for around 8 years, I took it with me to college every day in a backpack, on public transit. It got thrown around, scratched up, but the hinges didn't break lol

  • Chrome not proceeding with Web Integrity API deemed by many to be DRM
  • This is worse. Let's go with an example: on an Android phone, you visit a website. The website asks for an integrity check, the browser works with Google Play Services to complete the check.

    What if you have a de-Googled phone without Play Services, or if you made modifications to restrict Google's tracking? Then Google can refuse to verify you. What if you installed an ad blocker in your browser? Google can refuse to verify you.

    If you fail verification, the website could ask you to complete a captcha, or just refuse to show you anything.

  • Hi, I want to start programming but dunno where to start and which language to learn
  • You can make an app with Tauri without writing a single line of Rust though. Tauri lets you trigger most native functionality you might need from the JavaScript side. If that's enough for what you are building then you don't need to write any Rust. You could use a Rust web framework that compiles to WebAssembly, but you could also just use React or Svelte or whatever else.

  • New homeowner lots of questions
  • One advice I haven't seen mentioned: there are tool libraries in many cities where home owners can borrow tools for a low membership cost. This can save you from spending a lot on tools, especially for ones you won't need often.

  • I moved to Seattle for a high-paying tech job. It turned out to be the loneliest time of my life.
  • Men will literally write a Business Insider article instead of going to therapy. No really, I feel like this guy could benefit from some therapy.

    It wasn't until I met a few women on dating apps that I realized being a software engineer in a tech hub is far from special. Working at companies like Amazon or Microsoft just isn't interesting; it's the norm here.

    It's weird to expect that you'd get dates just for being an engineer. What? Like if someone did date you just because you are an engineer, that would be such a shallow relationship.

    I think one big reason for that is software engineering doesn't require socially demanding skills like in product management or UX design.

    Strongly disagree, software engineering is mostly social skills. It's all about communicating problems, learning your users pain points, explaining your solutions, and coordinating work. Coding the actual solutions is typically the easy part unless you are doing cutting edge computer science research.

  • Is bit rot really a threat that I should worry about?
  • For any family photos and documents you can't afford to lose, make sure you have backups of it. A RAID array does not mean you don't need backups: you want at least 3 copies, at least one offsite.

    The copy in your RAID array is one copy. You can back that up to an external hard drive or something as a second copy. Then have an offsite backup on something like Backblaze as your third copy.
