Our Race-Neutral Justice System (yes, that is Sarcasm)

-
Here be statistics from a recent report - The War on Marijuana in Black and White from the ACLU.

Percentage of Whites vs Blacks that have used Marijuana in the last 12 months - roughly the same, with Blacks taking a slight lead.

Percentage of Whites vs Blacks that have never used Marijuana - roughly the same, with Blacks taking a slight lead again.

Arrest rate, per 100,000 for marijuana possession - NOT roughly the same. Not even close.

Arrest rates per 100,000 by region - yup, its nationwide.

Break the same damn thing down by county - virtually all the counties have Blacks arrested 3X more than whites, with a whole bunch in the "greater than 7" category.

Is this race-neutral justice?
Screw "race-neutral" - is this JUSTICE?
No it isn't - and Ta-Nehisi Coates puts it best
The years between 2000 and 2010 do not simply constitute a war on marijuana, but a war on black people who use marijuana.
A rising wave smashes Negroes first.
It is at times like this that I weep for my country...

The fruits look like Cannonballs (well, d-uh), and the flowers are really quite amazing, and pretty ludicrously distinctive...

Erlang, Binaries, and Garbage Collection (Sigh)

-
Image
The nice thing about garbage-collection is that it is makes memory management absolutely transparent to you Of course, the above is true right up to the point when it stops being transparent, at which point it does a phase change from nice to clusterf**k of biblical proportions .  There are entire posts, books, and suicide notes that have been written about this, and I have no great desire to add to them, save with the minor comment that paranoia about garbage-collection is still justified , albeit only in the edge-cases for most people. That said, I'll give you that Erlang GC is in many ways much, much better positioned in this regard than, oh, Java, but it still rears up and bites you in the butt when you least expect it. ( More information about Erlang's GC vis-a-vis Java here , and Jesper's truly excellent description of Erlang's GC here ).  A story from the past should serve to illustrate this. Once upon a time, in a magical land far far away - well, Her

Visualizing Prime Numbers

-
Image
From Jason Davies , we have El Patron de Los Primos , probably one of the coolest prime number visualizer that I've seen.  For every Natural number, he draws a periodic curve that intersects at that number and each of its multiples.  Needless to say, prime numbers are touched by only two curves (itself and 1 ). You can scroll to the right, and move up the prime food change. (The image above is a screen grab.  Go here to see the actual thing)
