As it is, it's a huge amount of effort to slice out these clips, upload them somewhere, figure out the plates involved, and then go through my police department's clunky incident reporting system.

Hm. What's your stance on mandatory visible license plates for all bicycles on the street so people with dash cams can clip video and report bicyclists who improperly use lanes or who blow through stop or yield signs? Or who cycle without helmets in places where they're required?

Your words bring to mind my experience with gentrification in a few cities: one person's order is another person's chaos. If you ask a longterm resident in a gentrifying neighborhood how they feel about what the new developments are doing to their social fabric, you might find your simple truism gets wierded <3

It's often that crimes restore lost order and stability for some people. Not saying it's moral on one side or the other, but it certainly doesn't feel like a neat little package.

At least in recently windows10 preview, patch kernel memory area itself was no longer allowed, only hooks are allowed to be used to alter the kernel behavior (thus breaking some silly anti cheat engine). And it also comes with a option to enforce these with virtualization.

So yes, it is ongoing. But not Kernel -> Userspace. Instead it is Hypervisor mode Kernel(?) -> Kernel.

> "The requests, outlined in two search warrants obtained by Forbes, demanded to know which specific Google customers were located in areas covering 29,387 square meters (or 3 hectares) during a total of nine hours for the four separate incidents."

A far more reasonable - and less freightening - request would be: which customers were in 3 of 4 or 4 of 4 areas in the time windows. People of showing up once or twice are likely not suspects.

"The moment the government of a country makes it illegal for chatting apps to use encryption, the criminals are just going to roll their own crypto."

This is copied & pasted from anti-gun control arguments and is ignoring the excruciatingly obvious in exactly the same way.

Sure, criminals don't obey the law. But the reason prohibiting "regular citizens" from doing something helps stop criminals from doing that thing is because they will stand out more and have fewer excuses.

I don't see what the problem is? Sonos have clearly stated why they require that access.

It's the same argument that Apple had recently where users were unable to fully switch off location settings on their device through switching applications off manually. It was because they needed to check where the individual was globally to ensure the Ultra Wideband technology was not being used in countries where it was illegal to do so.

They say on the article you have posted that it is only required for setup, which makes sense. After which time you can then switch it off.

Posting an article where an app asks for location permissions is completely useless unless you provide an argument for why they shouldn't do so given their reasoning for requiring it.
Direct DBF manipulation is small potatoes. Since the database container (.DBC) has to be writable to be of much use, use that same tool to add some triggers that will run whatever FoxPro code you want (which can call just about any Win32 API you want). If you’ve got FoxPro installed, skip the hex editor and open the DBC like a table (it is a DBF). If one is going to use DBFs, skip the database container feature if you can. It was a good idea maybe 25 years ago (umm, not really), but it was a different time and long before Microsoft started getting their security shit together.

Using a phone or headphones while riding a bike is idiotic, but for these:

> running stop signs, right turn on red without stopping, turning without signalling, running red lights

It's important to understand a few things:

a) A person on a bike is 1000x more vulnerable than a person in a car, and will definitely lose (physically, legally) if they misjudge the situation and end up getting struck.

b) A person on a bike has way better situational awareness than a person in a car— they have a higher vantage point, and a very wide field of view. They're extremely well equipped to judge distances and speeds and to catch things in their peripheral vision.

c) A person on a bike often faces obstacles you wouldn't be familiar with as a driver. For example, a red light that can only be changed by triggering the in-pavement car sensor or riding up on the sidewalk to push the beg button.

I have such a light on my commute, and I feel that it's safe for me to look both ways and proceed when it's clear (treating the red light as a stop sign). You may disagree on this choice and call me a scofflaw cyclist, but at the end of the day I'm still basically just endangering myself. When drivers whip around a RTOR with their head hanging out the window looking at the traffic they're trying to merge with, they're endangering anyone who might step out to cross the road.

All that said, if my local PD committed to broad and consistent enforcement of minor traffic violations, I would absolutely get on board and either commit to riding/walking up on the sidewalk to use the beg button or choosing a route that avoids that intersection. But as it is, they don't have any interest in enforcing any of it, so I think it's reasonable and non-hypocritical for me to make a choice that slightly improves my commute and endangers only me to a degree that I am comfortable with.

Not really, I dont have any real need to. BASIC holds a special place in my heart as it is where I started in 1979....ish. However, I have very little reason to use it now. There are better and more powerful options today.

I teach kids to program via an after school robotics club and Python is so much easier and more powerful than BASIC ever was.

Occasionally I get nostalgic and break out a BASIC and its fun for a bit but I quickly realize how clunky the language really is.

This isn’t even remotely true. I have no idea what would even lead someone to such a bizarre outlook.
I once took a course on AutoDesk Inventor and was blown away by its parametric sketching tools, which allow you to define constraints on points, lines, and angles. It was very easy to draw a rough sketch of what I wanted and then add the necessary constraints to "clean up" the design—I want these objects horizontally aligned, with identical dimensions, arranged equidistantly from this point, etc.

I've been longing for a 2D diagramming tool with just this feature. Unfortunately there are not many options. Solvespace seemed the most promising last I looked: http://solvespace.com/index.pl

I hope in the future there are GUI tools that can help with designing Basalt documents.

You might think I don't understand, but I do know about kernel development and yes, the IPC is pretty unique for instance.

But it can be recreated with Unix domain sockets and what have you, in exchange for a kernel with more active work going on, not just by a single entity, more wood and arrows behind it so to speak. And mach is dated, from the microkernel experimentation era of the 80s and 90s, with a lot of overhead of its own.

The fact remains that Linux outperforms macOS on the same hardware. Yes I have run comparisons.

Implementing proper UBI and reducing poverty would cause a similar reduction in crime. It's not the end-all solution, but as societies build more safety nets, shift towards rehabilititive instead of punitive justice, and generally increase the "collective" wealth, crime will continue to fall.
> What if the figure design were changed slightly, for example the circle was to be inscribed in the rectangle? With Illustrator, it requires recomputing all the positions by hand; with Basalt, the change is one line of code:

Hi. I've been using Illustrator as my main art tool for most of twenty years.

1. Draw a circle. Give it a stroke in some color.

2. Open the Appearance palette.

3. Using the button at the bottom of the Appearance palette, add a new stroke. Make it another color.

4. Select this stroke and add effect>convert to shape>rectangle, relative sizing, add 0pt in X and Y.

5. Add effect>distort and transform>transform to the stroke. 70% in X and Y.

6. Open the Graphic Style palette and make a new style. Give it a name.

7. Visit the Appearance palette's menu and turn off "new objects have basic appearance".

8. Select the Graphic Style you made, draw some circles using it.

9. Turn off the Transform effect in the Appearance palette; hit 'redefine Graphic Style' and watch every circle change.

While your later examples like "make a little graph constrained to a shield" are more complex to make, there's still ways AI could help you do this stuff - you could maybe make a pattern brush with a circle for the end and corner pieces, and empty space for the main body, pile that on top of a plain stroke, and quickly drag some points around until you had a shape you like.

Eventually your examples get out of the territory of things I'd consider sane to do automatically in the tools AI has. But it can do more than you think.

okay enough procrastinating back to drawing my crazy comic in AI :)

Opposed, but not on principle. It's been studied and tried in many places [1] and just doesn't make any sense pragmatically. It doesn't make people safer and erects yet another barrier to cycling at a time when we need to be making it _more_ attractive and accessible.

And the people who propose such schemes are usually not doing so in good faith. It's not because they actually want to make cyclists safer, they're typically just making a "gotcha" argument that attempts to equate irresponsible cycling and irresponsible driving in terms of the danger that each poses.

Writing random bits is more or less guaranteed to work on the bulk of the data. There are small caveats with caches, degraded cells, and other degradation management mechanisms, but I would be quite surprised if anything can be extracted; the chance of have a critical piece of data remain recoverable (at great effort) should be insignificant for most applications. I do wish manufacturers would make a 'wipe all memory and caches' command, but it's not exactly in their interest to ease resale of used hardware... (it could be pitched as increased customer value).

This whole destruction thing is very economically and environmentally nonsensical to me.
Go through the lithoguru class notes on YouTube to learn. Some stuff. There are some nice talks from Kellin Kuhn or Dick James that have good detail.

Ideas for density aren't too hard: shrink pitch and fold into the z dimension. 3DNand is a folded NAND string, after all.

My wife and I used to return to the same place in the woods and would try to attract and feed crows. Once we were packed up and preparing to leave with crows watching us as my wife distributed more peanuts while she was trying to caw like them but I then found that the crows were changing some of their caws seemingly to mimic my wife's imitation and then purely by accident I coughed and a nearby crow clearly mimicked my cough!

I love crows, they have lots of character if you take time to observe them.

Ring objects to overbroad or otherwise inappropriate demands as a matter of course. We are working with the Fresno County Sheriff's Office to ensure this is understood."

I read recently that through the Casimir interaction, heat can be dissipated in a 'vacuum' as it is transferred to virtual particles. When this happens and the virtual particles pop back out of existence, do they carry the energy they absorbed along with them into nonexistence? Or by absorbing energy do they become real? Would that then mean energy is being created?
One could just as easily ask why did you just assume that he didn’t have more experience than you that was informing his opinion?

That demonstrates the problem with the downvoters, not with him.

People are pretty naive, and those of a certain ideology in particular have a habit of putting more weight on their uninformed idealistic assumptions than on the real world experience of others, who they promptly dismiss as intolerant/nazi/whateverist, at their own peril.

I bet the downvoters haven’t helped struggling people half as much as what he mentioned just in his post.

Hooks are incredibly confusing because of the underlying dark magic. I’ve had multiple people try to explain it to me but when I ask what does useState do under the hood? Can you write a simple version of it, they kinda get stuck.

Initial react was super simple. A render function that renders a virtual dom tree. It’s diffed against real tree. View is simply a function of state. You could build a simple react in an hour and show the concepts.

New react feels doesn’t share the same ethos of radical simplicity.
