No doubt. I had a few raised eyebrows back when my company ditched a VAX 11/730 and I took it, but it was a VAX that ran on 110 and it was my very own. Made a damn fine usenet node for the limited feed that went to it.

Ah I see yes they are banned in the EU on highways - I'm guessing you're referring to Romania going by the site in your profile -

I'll concede that yeah in that situation (the ban resulting in going from business horses to no horses) was essentially banning them. They're not technically banned as such, but the rules they're under changed too much for them to be viable.

Beyond gutnor's reply, cars are just fundamentally ripe for disruption. The benefits of personalized arbitrary-point-to-point mechanized transport are so compelling that society has been willing to put up with an enormous price for it, but that doesn't mean the current situation isn't still terrible and ready for a real tipping point effect the instant it becomes feasible. The only reason we've had manual driving at all was because humanity's development of mechanical tech greatly outstripped its development of information capture and processing tech, but that was always a temporary situation. Think about the incredible pressures on the current system:

- Well over a million deaths a year worldwide, if we're talking America then 30k-40k+ here alone. Tens of millions disabled/injured, at ruinous expense. Even more accidents that "merely" cause significant damage, again at major expense.

- The huge insurance and societal costs necessary to sustain the above.

- People who cannot drive in a society where that's immensely limiting. This sandwiches both sides of demographics. Particularly in the First World, demographic trends are resulting in an ever increasing number of elderly who cannot drive any longer. And it's always been a hassle and disruption for parents to need to shuttle around children, or arrange for the same, or just do without.

- A fear, justified or not, that terrorists will make increasing use of the fact that cars are an excellent way to deliver a tremendous amount of energy into a set of targets even without any sort of purpose-made weapons onboard and are not something that can be done without.

- The immense waste in incredibly valuable land resources needed for overbuilding parking, wide lanes, and other support infrastructure needed for human driven vehicles.

- The immense waste in human time and stress due to traffic and other conditions that could be ameliorated or even eliminated by automatic control.

Etc etc etc. The principle problem with both your arguments 1 & 2 is that you make them in a vacuum outside of the massive negatives that we live with right now. As with many disruptive new technologies, self-driving cars don't have to live up to any particular ideal, they merely need to be better then what we've got. And frankly that's just not a very high bar. It's not just economics it's politics, if you look through the above list you should be able to easily identify some of the most powerful interest groups and societal motivators in existence, touching almost all of society in general. Once the avalanche gets going feedbacks are going to reinforce pretty rapidly.

That's taking the idea to absurd extreme. You don't flip-flop the law every day. London for example has a congestion zone around the main city, which involves multiple limits and in many places removed congestion. This doesn't mean those areas are free for all again - the zone remains to keep out / reduce the congestion which would otherwise come back.

2007, in Romania [1][2]. More specifically, horse-drawn carts were banned. From what I can see, the movement to ban them stems from an argument that horse-drawn carts/carriages are a form of animal cruelty [3]. I haven't seen anything that singles out/bans horses (with riders, rather than carriages) though.

Interview with Ryan Frahm of Shoppe
> our software sucks because our programmers have no standards and because Agile can't deliver secure products

This is complete rubbish. Management's number one responsibility is to set standards and enforce them, no matter what industry you're in. If the programmers are churning out trash, it's management's responsibility to send it back and hold them to standard. If management accepts trash, then the final product will be trash. That's not the programmers' fault, that's management's fault.

And saying that Agile can't deliver secure products is like saying field commanders can't react to changing conditions on the field. Agile is specifically what allows organizations to produce secure software! Agile is precisely what allows management to take exploit reports, prioritize them, and quickly ship fixes, and not wait months on end for the next waterfall iteration to introduce a fix. Agile is precisely what allows organizations to introduce security policy professionals into regular planning meetings and give them a say over the direction and manner of development, so that organizations can take a more holistic approach to security, rather than introduce them at the end of the waterfall during integration, where fixing fundamental problems would result in costly delays and the result is an over-reliance on firewalls and segmentation.

Insecure software is not inevitable. Management needs to prioritize a) hiring competent security professionals b) budgeting enough money for salary so that they'll actually respond to head-hunters c) give them veto/enforcement rights to prevent shipping insecure product d) give them a seat at the table so that security issues can be fixed and security as a holistic corporate culture can be adopted over time.

Rule 54: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/rules-about-ani...

> You MUST NOT take a horse onto a footpath or pavement, and you should not take a horse onto a cycle track. Use a bridleway where possible. Equestrian crossings may be provided for horse riders to cross the road and you should use these where available (see Rule 27). You should dismount at level crossings where a ‘horse rider dismount’ sign is displayed.

I didn't know about App Scripts. This is very cool not just because it is a relatively clean visualization of a CPU but also because (on a personal level) it showed me what App Scripts can do.

Now if only it displayed the register values in hex or binary. As an education aid in college I found it easier to visualize what was actually happening in one of those bases. Another useful feature for debuggers is to highlight the values that changed in the last step. Sometimes even highlighting the exact bit if displaying in binary. I'm not sure how doable that is in Google Sheets though.

Edit: it's also a nice attention to detail that the stack shares the same heap as instructions. It might have been an easy out to put the stack in it's own column.
I built a simple system for some of our repos that fails the build if you don't have the shared team git hooks set up properly, and on failure directs the new engineers on how to fix the situation.
As long as you're aware that this may not happen if your org is experiencing Dead Sea Effect.

I've not seen an unused result warning change, but I've come across a case where a dead code warning appeared at higher optimisation levels when some function inlining revealed to the compiler that a certain function would call exit().

FWIW, buildroot now has the ability to build a complete cross build environment (I've used ARM and PowerPC). This is a configuration option: buildroot's cross or an external cross build environment. Buildroot does the Right Thing: all the required host-, target- and cross- tools need to live inside the same tree. This includes the option to build lib_.a (non-shared) cross libraries on the host, statically link against them for the target executable, and only install the target executable on the target installation (no carrying lib_.a baggage on the target file system).

I've created a couple of simple buildroot packages and it was nearly trivial. The buildroot preference is touse cmake for the package build support - I went with that and was very happy with the level of effort required (low!).

The strange thing is they actually built a full-size "working" demo, which if anything, only reinforces how precarious and ill-advised the whole concept was to begin with.

I don't know, I think it might be more beneficial for those who can accurately observe the political cirque de jour in whatever locale (opposed to being caught up in it) to engage amongst themselves, than trying engage with those who belief systems are dominated by a particular local/flavor (unless such engagement is exploiting another particulars beliefs against another for some gain).

Said another way a bit more reductionist, it seems that any engagement between CNN vs Fox types is rather marginal (for expected outcomes), vs playing both sides and exploiting the cognitive dissonance/norms differential between the two.

I think this chapter in human nature could be described as a conundrum that arises from the allegory of the cave.

The concept they use is “social harmony.”

This is a sort of shorthand for discouraging people from developing strong, dissident, aberrant or divisive political positions. Discouraging people from taking on political identities in general, other than a unified chinese identity. Discouraging people from disparaging and/or distrusting the government. Keeping fringey social trends out of the mainstream.

If you think of how strong political identities are currently in the US, this is exactly what they are trying to prevent. They want to keep everyone on the same page in terms of political and social norms.

The skeptical take is that the CCP is protecting itself from popular and democratic revolutionary movements.
