This shit is so fucked up. And at a certain level I’m disappointed that we are still trying to fix it peaceably when every day of delay, there is irreparable harm to physical wellness, mental health and rights as citizens or residents. Also science in America is fucked for the next decade.

Violent resolution of the situation would almost certainly result in a society with even fewer freedoms. That is the historical lesson. Violent resistance to authoritarian takeovers gives them an air of legitimacy they need. That is the whole point of chicago and the attempt in Portland. They want violent resistance to justify crack downs. Instead they look like storm troopers. I am in awe of the restraint of those living in Chicago. Ice hasn't done half as much in Texas and they are getting ambushed with assault rifles. That doesn't work with their narrative of lawless blue states though. The ability of Chicagoans to resist peacefully, endure, and document these events may well be what gives the US another chance at being a democracy.

Republicans are controlled by big business and billionaires. I agree that violence isn't the solution, because to these guys, money talks.

What we need is a general strike. Shut the entire country down, teachers, warehouse workers, supermarket employees truckers. Everyone on the streets, refusing to make money for their billionaire bosses. When it hurts their profits, they will relent.

That has never worked well in America.

Next generation. You saw that Harvard cut grad admissions by 75% - even in STEM

I didn’t realize how many scientists crossed the border without papers, claimed asylum, and became professors at research universities

lol. It’s that the immigration policies currently being attempted plus the university grant shenanigans are destroying the stem training / research pipeline

Strange, I know a ton of post docs and there is a lack of opportunities for them right now, both in academia and private sector

Unfortunately, violent reactions is what Trump would love, because it would allow a much bigger, probably definitive, escalation

I think Americans should first do everything possible to bring to sanity the supporters of Trump

> I think Americans should first do everything possible to bring to sanity the supporters of Trump

It seems that ship left the port last november. There is barely any noticable resistance whatsoever to Trump. All this talk about freedom and when the time comes americans just fold over like lawnchairs.

Polling numbers and recent elections suggest there has been some shift.

If I had finished grad school and were still in Boston I’d totally want to do this !

Aged Cabot Brand cheese often has these crystals. It’s like a little salty crunch in every bite.

So anyone got a plan to help fix it?

Unfortunately the levers of power are so captured that it’s likely the only way for things to change is for leadership to mess up so badly that people end up on the streets.

Oh fun, I wrote a similar library in 2015 for Haskell. There is an annoying gotcha to deal with: there are sequences of valid characters that can be parsed incorrectly if you’re doing incremental chunks, namely if “0.0” is split across two input chunks you can get a token stream with two valid float literals rather than 1! Namely “0” and “.0”, which is just a really annoying wart of json float syntax.

Yeah, getting numbers correct was one of the trickier wrinkles in the project. https://github.com/rictic/jsonriver/blob/5515be978bb564e9bdc...

Don't you need to wait for some kind of delimiter (like ",", "]", "}", newline, EOF) before parsing something else than a string?

Only for numbers! Strings, objects, arrays, true, false, and null all have an unambiguous ending.

but you don't do this for strings either, as shown in the examples - partial strings are pushed even though they're not yet ended:

    {"name": "Ale"}

Oh this isn't about the public API, it's about the internal logic of the parser.

An "off the top of my head" solution to this would be not to yield tokens until a terminating character (comma, \n, }).

This seems to be testing how the software is optimized for low core deployments… how does Postgres perform vary as you add more cores and ram? It’s the sort of software where I’d presume more cores and ram yields better performance. Assuming as always that mature systems software sees more many core perf engineering.

This is neat. Reminds me that I am like a decade overdue to write up my own work in this part of array computation

If you could tolerate 1/8th the build volume the sovol zero seems amazing. 120mm ^3 though .

I was hoping you could order prints in plastics from generated stls. But alas

Fun fact: the payout from the meta settlement they reference works out to there being less than 4,000 members of the eligible class. Otoh getting a large check is always a pleasant surprise. I kept the letter cause it’s a huge amount
