The very descriptor protocol exists to distinguish property-as-function (descriptor) from property-as-value (slot).
I’ll assume you aren’t in the U.K. (which this article is about), because the U.K. system is almost exactly as you describe!

> Norway's system of timed speed cameras are particularly wonderful -- they simply photograph a car and then photograph it again many kilometers later. If you get there too soon, then at some point, you must have been speeding.

Uk has a combination of:

* Average speed cameras (as per the Norway example)

* Variable speed cameras (where the speed limit varies depending on the conditions of the road and congestion)

* Fixed speed cameras (traditional speed cameras dug in next to a road)

* Mobile speed cameras (as per the bbc article, with a purpose to make sure the position changes each day so locals don’t know where the cameras are).

> These systems are safer for police and drivers as there are no traffic stops for speeding.

Traffic stops in the U.K. are very rare, and even mobile cameras just send the documentation to your registered address with no stop. A stop would only be done in the U.K. if there was a belief that the driving was putting others at immediate risk (eg appears drunk).

> Correct. That's why I said the difference is intent. You have not contradicted that.

You are mistaken. The earnest falsehood can cause great damage, and the truth - even when spoken by someone of ill intent - is still important. Your standard of intent is simply not sufficient.

So called "hateful" people are sometimes necessary to break the stranglehold bad ideas have on society. Socrates was executed for "corrupting the youth".

> Congratulations. I'm not concerned with weaponized disinformation in your social circle.

The point here is that YouTube (or any tech platform) is not in a position to implement any reasonable standard at scale. Even if your standard of intent were reasonable (it's not) intent doesn't just vary between people, intent can vary within a person over the course of a single conversation! And a person's intent can also be mixed. There is no way any of these platforms can capture that level of nuance in human social interaction.

> Good for you. If everyone were as intelligent and enlightened as you are, then the world would operate a lot more smoothly.

True, but beside the point.

I want to be very clear about this. If you value democracy in any way, you must support the right for everyone to make up their own mind. That is because, unless you have that right, you do not have a democracy. All you have is the oligarchy of the gatekeepers of acceptable opinion.
> Nah, the issue is that whenever the IDE doesn't provide a shortcut for whatever you're back to negative one.

You are not back to negative one, more like you are at square 85. There is nothing stopping a developer from supplementing something that the IDE doesn't easily support. For example I use PyCharm these days and I when I make a change to a file I automatically want the test associated with that file to run- this is not supported in PyCharm (or atleast I don't know how to get PyCharm to do it) so I wrote a script that runs in the background of my shell watching for changes on files on my project and running appropriate tests.

The point if an IDE doesn't have a quick way of doing something that is necessary for your workflow, it doesn't mean that the 20 other things that the IDE does are useless. Any working developer should continue to be able to extract value from the features that the IDE provides and jump back to fill the holes themselves (via shell scripts or what have you) instead of saying "Whelp this means IDE is a crutch now and I must revert to only using 'Unix as IDE' and only relying on sed/awk/grep and friends" to aid my development workflow.

Really? American police kill about 1000 people a year and the vast, vast majority of these killings are totally justified cases where deadly force was used to stop an imminent deadly threat. On the other hand about 36,000 people died on American roads last year and it's hard for me to imagine a scenario where any of them could have been necessary.

The real difference is that road deaths are far less likely to trigger a media circus.

Forth now has a Discord server
I saw in the Facebook group dedicated to Forth that they now have a Discord server. I do not know how many of you use Discord here, let alone how many of you are interested in Forth, but if you are interested, feel free to join.

They seem to have a channel dedicated to loads of Forth resources that help you learn the language, to dispel any misconceptions, and stuff like that. It is both low-level and high-level stuff, and quite interesting, IMO.

If you are into embedded development or even systems programming, you should definitely check it out. :)

I heard the owner of the server is planning to make a modern library[1] for the language to make it more appealing to newcomers.

[1] I have no idea what it involves. It could even be a web framework for all I know, heh.
> They rioted and destroyed property.

You're describing acts of violence.

> No one was injured. My point is that saying it was "violent" implies that there were people hurt.

You're trying to play the humpty dumpty game of just making up meanings of words to fit your whim of the moment.

Riots are acts of violence. Destroying entire car lots in rage is an act of violence. Destroying buildings in protest is violence. There is no way around it.

Enough with the doublespeak. People got screwed out of their paycheck, they felt enraged, thus sparking a violent protested. Understandingly so. There's no need to pretend things were different.
>It seems odd to me to highlight that aspect of the founders initial motivation without even mentioning whether that's what the company actually does now.

Epic put the prices at the same level that they already sell V-bucks for via the Epic game store. I don't buy the argument that they would jack those prices back up to the other levels when if they had the ability to process payments themselves, would then be consistent across platforms.

> I mean I still think myself the 30% are too high, but Epic lining up your kids in front of a virtual stage to make them all hate Apple? It concerns me quite a bit!

Whilst I in principal agree mostly with Epic over Apple in this case, I completely agree with you here that the whole video approach was gaudy (at best) and a bit of unfair exposition.
Or to put it a bit more bluntly, based on this chart[1] of typical stopping distances versus speed, you can come to a stop in 53m if you're going 80km/h.

If instead you're going 100km/h, your car will be still be doing over 60km/h after 53m...

Obviously the exact numbers will vary based on car and conditions, but the point stands about just how much things change when you're speeding.

> As a free person I think you need to have the right to make bad decisions and accept their consequences, as long as those do not impact others.

Peak Libertarian fantasy to think this should apply here. Unfortunately, the real world is never so ordered and predictable that you can know for certain whether the country road you're about to speed on is completely empty. Just like you, the rest of us have the right to use that road as well whenever we please.

Even if you were the sole victim in such an accident, you're ignoring all the second order societal costs. Who will pay for the police time spent investigating the accident, delivering the news to your loved ones, and the cost of bereavement leave on their employers? Who's going to pay for removing the wreck and fixing whatever infrastructure (e.g. the road surface) you might have damaged? What about the mental health effects on the unfortunate neighbour who discovers your mangled corpse? And if you're only injured, how about the costs of an ambulance and medical treatment? We don't all live in the USA where that is (supposedly) borne by the individual.

Whether you like them or not, speed limits exist for good reasons.

> doing 35 mph in a 30 mph really going to kill anybody?

Demonstrably yes. Check out this study by the UK's Transport Research Laboratory. The chances of killing a pedestrian rise dramatically from around 10% at 30mph. The likelihood roughly doubles at 35mph. Remember that kinetic energy increases with the square of velocity, not linearly, so even small increases in speed can have dramatic effects on accident outcomes: https://nacto.org/docs/usdg/relationship_between_speed_risk_...
It's even funnier considering the machine actually has a camera built in (eg. https://youtu.be/ya_zzEMHCoc). I believe it also has YouTube upload built it but I could be wrong on that.
30 v 35mph is not a trivial increase. It's nearly 20% faster. And kinetic energy scales quadratically with velocity.

According to a popular UK road safety campaign, if you hit a pedestrian at 35mph you're 2.5x more likely to kill them than if you hit them at 30mph (50% chance vs 20% chance)

When it's the language you're using, it's a first-party dependency.

The official tutorial and manual is great and comprehensive. There are many kind people with more experience on the Nim forum.

You won't need to debug C++, just like you don't need to debug JavaScript if you transpile to it from, say, CoffeeScript or Dart.
Japanese law requires the police to prove that you were speeding beyond reasonable doubt, so posted speed limits are all 20km/h+ under the de facto speed limit. It leads to absurd situation like expressways with a posted 60km speed limit but a 100km/h real limit.
Smart motorways will readily adjust the speed limit down (often for no discernible reason), but they don't increase the speed limit were it may be appropriate e.g. good weather and very limited number of vehicles on the road.
Last spring I might have agreed, but mass resistance to restrictions never materialized. Protests have never attracted more than a fringe of conspiracy theorists etc. As for the press, the media in Poland is nearly wholly controlled by the government, and so will not necessarily challenge the minister of health. Then there are countries like Finland where politics is consensus-based, and so is the press, so once all parties have broadly agreed on restrictions, it is unseemly to raise objections.

Apparently politicians in many EU countries have decided that they are politically vulnerable if they open up, not if they simply keep the status quo of restrictions going.

As for "struggling to get people to comply", actually EU countries have been quite effective in ensuring that restaurants and theatres ordered to close stay closed. There are some countries elsewhere on earth where business owners have been able to bribe the authorities to look the other way, but that doesn't happen in EU countries.
At least in the more remote parts of Canada, hitting a moose at high speed has a very good probability of taking you out along with the moose. So driving respectfully at night is a really good idea.
Purely anecdotal, I noticed there were far more people in fancy cars going at ridiculous speeds in ridiculous stretches of roads with loads of pedestrians and cyclists around when I lived in Bristol compared to the Netherlands. I called them CICs: "Cunts In Cars".

Road design probably plays part in this; a comparatively wide fully asphalted road probably isn't the best design for 20mph. Traffic calming and all that.
Average speed cameras are very rare outside roadworks though.
The UK police are not like the US. They aren't very well funded, and they police by consent rather than shooting people (They probably would do more, but you have to realise that in many parts of the UK we don't see police even driving about let alone on the beat i.e. fear mongering)

> The way this is framed today by people is soo disgusting.

> Most people were dirt poor in the past in the western world by today's standards.

You have just adjusted one simplification to end up over exaggerating another one. A boomer's family could live off one salary. Since then women have joined the workforce and kind of the whole world by moving (migrating) or remote. While it is definitely true that those "none westerners were dead poor in the past compared to today" there is a 20+ year long wage stagnation in the west and increase in prices on some of the very fundamental needs like housing, which results in memes about gen XYZ not being able to afford them, create stable conditions, have a spouse and then a family (kids).

Anyway, we are in this together, always on(line), connected, one global world and it depends how you view it: Appreciate the advancements the non-western world has made or focus on the gap they still have to the west. Though this all comes to the expense of the western world, which is kind of required to close the global gap.

With AI at last hitting its heyday, semantic data will finally be important enough to enter general use. It's not a replacement for the web, but rather a supplement to it, where intelligent machine agents can automatically and intelligently navigate relationship connections to find or even infer the information you're looking for using various APIs. Tim Berners Lee was way ahead of his time with this (and ahead of computers' ability to make something useful out of it), which is why it languished for so long (much like AI did).

schema.org is a godsend, because it's finally a serious attempt at standardizing semantics (much like foaf did in a rather anemic attempt). I've added the relationship data type to the Concise Encoding spec [1] and look forward to exciting times!

Maybe more enforcement isn't the solution? Traffic stops are far more common in the US than the UK, but the US has far higher road deaths, even when you adjust for the fact that Americans spend more time travelling by road. Maybe the cause of America's excess road deaths is something else?

Design Patterns That Make Sense in Python: Simple Factory
Google Maps removes route recommendation after driver freezes to death
I usually only really understand the problem while iterating on the design. So I'd lump "understanding the problem well enough that you can solve it" in step 1.

Before starting: I've got a sweet idea for a web app!

After step 1: I'm trying to solve ___ problem for ___ users. My MVP will look like these rough sketches and I'm going to use build it on top of ___ libraries / databases / frameworks.

After step 2: Here's the website if you want to give it a spin!

The easier the code is to write, the less time I'll spend in step 1. Which makes sense - up front design won't save much programming time if I can make a prototype faster than I can write a spec.
