A relative in France hit a pedestrian outside of a crosswalk, the aged man died after a few days at the hospital.

It was night time, rainy and the victim popped out from the space between two parked cars and ran just in front of the motorbike to quickly cross the road.

There was automatically a trial anyway for manslaughter and my relative was not found guilty of anything. I think it's a good thing to automatically have a trial anyway. The rule here is "the driver must be in full control of its vehicle at anytime". It basically means that if you could have physically avoided a pedestrian (factoring in response and braking times..), you'll be found guilty even if the pedestrian was outside of a crosswalk for instance.
More and more people I know have become partly vegetarian and it seems that the meat replacements are also becoming more popular. But I can't say much about the scale of things.
Yeah, I guess I should have said "post-tax and post-insurance/wellfare parity". Though you're right, the US salary would have lower taxes and the difference would look larger. I suppose the GP was weighting tail events quite heavily. Comparing the distribution of financial outcomes accross countries, given a certain salary would be very interesting.
New companies don't beat older one's because they inherently have 'fresh perspective' the older one's are incapable of.

'Old companies' are entrenched and incumbent gears in the system and are effectively mining economic rent. They don't want change because change will disrupt the cash cow.

Newer companies have to break into the system and have to do that, at which time they'll want to sink their claws into the system as well.

There are plenty of newer ideas at big companies, but systematically they tend to be averse to them in favour of other strategies.

Whether it is or isn't as unevenly distributed, popularity is! Popularity is a scale free network in fact. Simply check your Facebook friends (or that of your aunt if you don't have FB) and you're quite likely to see a couple of outliers.

I thought about this quite deeply and researched it a bit during my graph theory & complex network classes. Whether it is routers redirecting traffic or popularity, it is all scale free (ok not everything is, but a lot of things are).

From the best I can tell, it was always referred to as Integer Basic and never “Apple Basic”.

I do know that it was referred to that as far back as 1980. I’ve never seen a reference to it as “Apple Basic” and I had an Apple //e in 1986.
That would be a pleasant surprise.
Spark ignition ICEs experience something called “pumping losses”: There’s a physical impediment (the throttle) that the engine has to work against at low engine speeds. So while drag increases with speed, it’s also true that at lower speeds you’re still converting hydrocarbons to waste heat at the same rate. The truth is that fuel economy is a delicate balance between rolling resistance, aerodynamic drag, gearing, and the engine power curve.

Assuming you adjust your diet instead of just subtracting meat (increase broccoli/beans/lentils/spinach for iron, etc), are there really any downsides? We've had vegetarians for a thousands of years, and I am not aware of have any health problems that are most efficiently solved by adding meat.
You continue to miss the point. Its not a question of _why_ I trust my compiler or my computer. If you trust npm packages and ship them then that's not malpractice.

Its about admitting you _don't_ trust npm packages, but you go ahead and use them anyways. That is malpractice, because you admit you know better but take action anyways.

"I know this procedure may do more harm than good, but I will perform it anyways because I'm too lazy to find an alternative"

That is textbook malpractice.
This is true in the US; and is becoming true elsewhere simply because meat has become so expensive. I know several friends who have gone vegetarian for a combination of health, financial and environmental benefits. It’s pretty common in progressive circles in the US at least.

That is an interesting thought that never occured to me. It would render the headlights of your car pretty much useless if the light just fell to the ground a few meters in front of the car. I wonder if one has or could measure the effect in the lab - it's about 0.5 μm over a distance of 100 km, so it seems not totally out of reach.

This explanation has lot of weakness. Some scientists disagree with it.

For example, if we heat up a metallic sphere, then it will expand in all directions. If we project this expansion backward, then we will see that metallic sphere was created just few hours ago. Do you agree with that?

Moreover, why I should accept that Universe is expanded in single whoooping event? IMHO, constant vibration (noise) of gravitation field explains same effect without need for this single event. Vacuum just contracts and expands by tiny bit all the time, because something happens in Universe all the time, so light ages as it travels.

> as no one going to school right now legitimately thinks the college student loan process is clearly presented in terms that are easy for the AVERAGE 18 year old to understand

I went to university nearly 30 years ago, and I didn't take out any loans the first few years. I did the last year, and even then I didn't think the process was remotely understandable. I remember getting a check and there was a pretty hefty fee that had been taken out, reducing my net by a moderate percentage. I couldn't find any good explanation of this, nor anyone at the school who could explain it.

I had no 'entrance' and 'exit' loan counseling.

Nonsense.

First, no matter how inexpensive it is, it's still an additional cost

Second, if the same thing can be done differently and in a way that happens to cost less and create less CO2, private enterprises would be already using it simply because it's cheaper.

So no, your conclusion is wrong.

> My point is that Linux apps don't have general root rights. Even though you must install them as root. That is, unless you start them as root.

I'm running macOS, so this isn't directly relevant; I don't know much about Linux apps, but macOS ones often do some skulduggery—for example, Dropbox uses its root installation privileges to make some very hard-to-eradicate startup items (https://applehelpwriter.com/2016/08/29/discovering-how-dropb...). Nonetheless, you are right that I was confusing "installed as root" with "has root privileges".

>Red meat was classified as Group 2A, probably carcinogenic to humans. What does this mean exactly?
In the case of red meat, the classification is based on limited evidence from epidemiological studies showing positive associations between eating red meat and developing colorectal cancer as well as strong mechanistic evidence.

>Limited evidence means that a positive association has been observed between exposure to the agent and cancer but that other explanations for the observations (technically termed chance, bias, or confounding) could not be ruled out.[1]

## Bonus content on processed meats ##

>Processed meat was classified as Group 1, carcinogenic to humans. What does this mean?
This category is used when there is sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in humans. In other words, there is convincing evidence that the agent causes cancer. The evaluation is usually based on epidemiological studies showing the development of cancer in exposed humans.

>In the case of processed meat, this classification is based on sufficient evidence from epidemiological studies that eating processed meat causes colorectal cancer.

Each of as will die anyway so I doubt if anyone can treat not dying in mass extinction as a real benefit.

But clean air, fresh water, free energy, bike paths in place of roads, walking in a forrest, less trash, diving in reefs that ain't bleaching to death - this is more motivating for me.

We used hooking to "isolate" the audio output from a certain application on Windows:

The application would ask the operating system for the default audio device. By intercepting this request, we were able to re-route it to our own, virtual audio device. Our program would then fetch the audio data from the virtual device, and replay it to the "real" audio device. At the same time, the audio gets saved to ram, and finally to disk.

The benefit of this method was that we were able to actually isolate the audio from all other sources on the computer. So you could, in theory, mute the playback, while still being able to let the recording run.
Ultimately, we abandoned this method, as it proved quite unreliable. But it was fun to come up with, and finally implement.
Disclaimer: I don't like cars, I love driving, but as a sport, not in urban areas.

Biking is like running, playing soccer, playing tennis, swimming, many people don't do it because they don't do any sport.

Biking requires skills that normal people usually don't have, but that they believe they have.

It is in fact more dangerous than driving (compared to the driver, not pedestrians)

As soon as older people could not bike anymore, they started buying electric scooters and in Holland they have now more deaths caused by scooter accidents than cars.

France is going to ban them because they are too dangerous.

People than cannot drive anymore because of age or because they had their driving license revoked, started using less "law encumbered" vehicles and the number of accidents began to rise.

People on bikes are less controlled,they are not forced to use safety measures, they are not inside a "secured box", they don't have anti intrusion bars, air bags, safety belts, etc. etc.

Very few wear an helmet, many of them don't follow street rules, they bike on the sidewalk, very fast, they are very quiet and many pedestrian don't hear them coming.

They pay a lot less taxes (and fines), taxes used to implement mobility politics.

In Italy, for example, the money that cities earn from fines, cannot be used for anything else than mobility.

City planning is complicated, you don't solve problems just by changing few rules, you have to carefully plan for them

Changing a model that has been THE model for at least half a century and that have become so popular because freed people from the task of commuting or having to go somewhere, fast, without having to share the ride with other 150 people, just like the washing machine freed women from the task of washing clothes, it's not an easy task.

EDIT

I don't want to give the idea that cities are doomed, but biking is not the solution, biking is just like cars but with different problems, THE solution is walkability.

Walkable cities are for everyone.

Bikeable cities are just for bikers.

This is not universal.

Yes, the expansion of agricultural land is almost always bad. Unless its expansion into desert, and isn't depleting water (which is almost never the case).

But, sheep, cattle and especially pigs provide useful products in the farming cycle, essential if you want to cut out oil based fertilisers.

Thats not to mention that most of the country side of Europe looks the way it does because if farming sheep or cattle.

Pasture has its own biodiversity. Simply stopping all animal consumption would leave us more dependent on fertilisers in the short to medium term. It would also cause rapid local environmental changes, that would have interesting side effects.
Why the lone wolf mentality is a sysadmin mistake
It really depends on what you call meat replacements. There are vegan dishes that can work as a decent barbecue sausage substitutes and I heard that synthetic-heme-based products can have a meaty feel... it's not like meat in super healthy when abused, so I wouldn't be surprised if a plant-based version could actually be better.
I think that we'll never see the same feelings about Microsoft as existed in its heyday precisely because those feelings weren't just about what Microsoft tried to do, but actually about what it did. Microsoft will (probably) never again enjoy the hegemony it once did; so, however evilly it acts, it'll never be able to translate its evil deeds into the same impact that they once had.

I was always very impressed by the floating point routines in BBC Basic (also on the 6502). Anyone know who wrote those, and if they were derived from this work by Rankin and Wozniak?

BBC Basic is the best all-round Basic of its era that I know of, with rich control flow features, proper recursion and built-in assembler. But I don't know how much was original work from Acorn and how much was borrowed from elsewhere. Are there any other 8-bit Basics that are especially good?
This viewpoint is expressed often but there are many counter arguments.

Nutrition is not a solved equation. We simply do not know how exactly various foods affect our health, the extent that human genetics and microbiome affect “proper” nutrition for a person, what all the essential nutrients are, what the immunoresponse to various foods are, and any number of unknown unknowns about diet. Any claims to the contrary are irresponsible at best.

You mention biodiversity but seem to be glossing over the role of ruminants in the ecological system, and the severe lack of biodiversity which can be the consequence of large scale crop production.

These and other reasons lead me to be concerned that this viewpoint is to some degree tainted by ideological blind spots.
This is a big part of the problem, but there is some hope!

Shareholders of the big oil and gas companies have started to recognize the long-term threat of climate change. There were 87[0] shareholder proposals last year that asked firms to adopt emission reduction targets, disclose lobbying expenses, or take other action that would result in lower emissions.

Most of these failed, largely because the big institutional investors voted against them.

Shameless plug: I'm trying to solve this problem by creating a governance-first index fund [1].

Those are some interesting points. I'm not convinced that versions should be in scope for this sort of thing though. If I'm writing a protocol handler, I think it's my responsibility to make sure my software can update itself, and make the default behavior that it should check for updates if it is given a URI it doesn't understand.

Secondly, version checks assume that the user wants to run this specific protocol handler. I as the user might prefer to run an open source non-official zoom client. I think the OS should only be trying to help me if I don't have any handler.
