He talks plenty about taboos elsewhere (e.g. "What You Can't Say").

A blameless culture needs to take into account bad actors. You might add more processes for part sovereignty for example. This is what you rely on for safety.

In addition yeah also prosecute criminals. But that doesn’t stop crime. See “war on drugs” for example.

Yeah the Brit drinking culture is quite insane. Aussie has a bit of that but it is much less.

I used to drink a lot more, but now I find it hard to stand. No buzz just the stupification.

And of course drink is very toxic and will set back all your other goals from good sex, to muscles, weight loss and cognitive function.

Effective defence would allow the guilty to go free. (although “guilty” is a jury verdict so that is impossible but I presume you mean would be found guilty had more evidence prevailed). You can’t have an advocate that draws arbitrary lines at which they are not on your side advocating for you, what would those be?

Say someone says to their lawyer they shot the person but really they are covering for their wife even to mthe lawyer. The lawyer then hears them say in court they didn’t shoot (the truth) but the lawyer just knows they are saying something different now to what they said before. It could be that.

I'm not the author of the post referred to here, but I suspect that 'guilty' was intended to be read as 'actually committed the crime'.

To be clear, I support the principle that it is the acquittal of a perpetrator is far less of a miscarriage of justice than is the conviction of someone other than the perpetrator.

In this case I was using guilty in its common English usage, and not the specific American Jurisprudence usage.

You must mean clear cut cases too then. Not self defence etc.

Not indignity but inconvenience. It would be like a boss lying to a software engineer about the requirements as they are scared it will cost too much then the wrong thing is built.

Yeah hacker used to not mean someone hacking into a computer and breaking a password, then it did then now it means both that and a tech tinkerer.

Exercise too.

The question is how long. Doing intense stuff needs breaks.

I did the same switch. Then went to the Chrome extension YARC https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/yet-another-rest-c... which I like for the simplicity. It does remember past queries.

Good answer. A refurb Dell desktop tower or smaller form will get ya 10-20 years service vs. the 5 tops of the laptop (excluding battery and screen for generous comparison because they may fail sooner). Also laptops just seem to do sucky stuff like keyboard randomly stops working. Laptops suck.

My wife has a MacBook Air, broken touchpad, yellow screen.

The top answer is a very nice explanation. I don’t know Rust but I understand it.
