@ai6yr @michael_w_busch I've seen the Guadalupe and the rest of the Hill Country creeks and rivers at what I thought was the worst they could get: bouncing 4 foot diameter live oaks downriver like toothpicks, Chevy Blazers rolled by less than a foot of water. And debating how to safely do recovery from 20 feet up in a tree. This is event was an order of magnitude worse than anything I've seen.We need to face a very harsh fact:Everything we think we know about the climate and expected maximum worst weather is right out the feckin window.Policy makers aren't going to be prepared and more people will die, many more will be displaced and bankrupted. We all need to be ready for this. Check your flood and fire maps. Have plans. Build a support network, and give support.

@drewdaniels @ricci True compassion is saying:That was horrible and wrong. We will make sure it doesn't happen again. And then doing what it takes to fulfill that promise.

@hn50 And every one involved should be criminally charged with obstruction. Including an investigation up the management chain.

@foone @n1vux Weirdly, in certain cases it can even be best practice for performance. Particularly if you're running vms above ( half the host vcpu count - 1 ) and you're cpu bound. If you're memory bound, and vNuma works, it's best to stick with Numa counts -- which on some machines is 3. Felt weird AF moving a machine from 16 cpus to 9 and having performance increase.

@ricci Want to feel old? Check top songs of 2005. Which is old enough to be a dad.

@futurebird I think in almost all the puzzles presented the question is "how many of the principles outlined in the ACM Code of Ethics did this person violate?"

@futurebird North Little Rock, AR. Nothing on the street. But phone and charging available in the library (when open), and all the bars/cafés have charging with no questions asked.City information is a large gentleman named Beaufort, who is officially a cop, but whose title is Ambassador. He and his crew also provide golf cart rides to people who need to get around downtown if they're mobility impaired or if the weather is bad.

@futurebird Not a crier, he doesn't have a bell and yell stupid things like "All's Well." when they obviously aren't. Beaufort and his crew of ambassadors walk / golf cart around downtown most nights, with more when there's an event going on. They guide tourists to safe (free!) parking, advise about restaurants suitable for your group, tell you what events are coming up, and walk little old ladies across the street to the theatre. They also generally keep the peace in a way that most cops don't. I've seen them talk down a belligerent drunk, walk him outside and get him an Uber home...along with a card with numbers for several free therapy options. They have a radio, baton, and a tazer; no body armor, no gun. In 15 years I've seen a baton come out once. It was used on an arm with a knife, not on a head.

@futurebird We've got one group of ambassadors for a neighborhood of about 10k people. It's the downtown entertainment district. There's talk about expanding to three groups in other dense, business, or higher crime areas. Each group is roughly 5.That expansion would make a 4000:1 population to ambassador ratio. So New York would need 2000-2500 total, about 400 of those being supervisors who know the area well. They need to be visible, lightly armed, and willing to talk and help; rather than confront and escalate. It's true community policing. Walking around, not driving through.It would be a hard model to do in NYC, or any large metro. It'd be great, but hard to implement.
