> Why do you think the default should be that it's your right of way in the car?

a) Because it's the law, b) because there's a power dynamic. I can accidentally kill a pedestrian, a pedestrian can't accidentally kill me unless they throw a brick off an overpass.

> Why should pedestrians keep out of your way and not cross your path?

So that they take responsibility for their own safety.

> Why don't we instead say you should keep out of the pedestrians way and not cross their path?

Because I disagree I should be liable if someone darts out into traffic and is struck by my car.

> Maybe we should reset the expectation that cars own the streets, and make them a guest there, deferring to human beings in the first instance.

In dense cities... sure, I agree. In car-heavy suburban areas where everything is super spread out? I don't think this is a necessarily a good idea.
I think comparing dtrace to eBPF is missing what makes eBPF great. dtrace is just one application that can be implemented using eBPF.

Your toolbox can be used to fix things, but eBPF is a factory for making new types of tools and toolboxes.

eBPF can be used to make small programs that run at tracing points, thus making dtrace. But it can also be made to make packet filter decisions (thus altering what happens), and with at least one network card that eBPF program can be pushed to the network card and filter before the packet even hits RAM, much less the CPU!

eBPF can run at socket init time, and set some default TCP tuning parameters.

Another comment in this thread asked if one can write a whole device driver in eBPF. The answer is actually not clear.

eBPF is more similar to "the ability to load kernel modules" than it is "a tracing framework".
I think one should give the new Centos Stream a chance and try it out before judging it. What is CentOS stream will later become Red Hat enterprise Linux, so Red Hat and the Centos community is interested in Centos being good and stable.
I guess the EU could fine them and then force Google to hand over this newspapers advertisement income, and Google would probably comply since they want and need to do business in the EU.
> In Norway pedestrians have the right of way on zebras.

Context for those who don’t know: zebras are crosswalks.
It's an example of a minor infraction, and police are most likely able to use their discretion with this type of lawbreaking. Other more serious crimes will almost definitely require a charge.

The fact that their discretion overwhelmingly leads to the racial bias described, shows a situation where police behaviour needs to change.

It's important to highlight it for this reason.
It is invalid to derive an "is" from an "ought" in any situation.

("Cars ought not hurt people who have the right-of-way, therefore they won't.")
Not yet, but this is just by lack of time for implementing the diff algorithm. There's nothing hard there, but there are other priorities at the moment.
When I was in high school we had a PDP System 10 and PDP 11 where I took a programming course on PDP-11 assembly language. It makes me feel old knowing these weren't antiquated at the time.
One thing I haven’t seen addressed is versioning: what happens when you push out an update so your server component now takes in a different set of props (or renders a different set of divs/spans/css than before?)

Previously, the abstraction level between your server and client used to be APIs, with well-known patterns for versioning... this has now shifted to the level of component props, which I suppose is still workable — it’s very similar to graphql — but is certainly not very intuitive.
On the other hand, there are probably many more instances of jaywalking than police encounters, so the statement you quoted may still be correct. At 36x, I'd guess that's more likely than not—I've been stopped on foot by the police once that I can remember, and I've probably jaywalked thousands of times.

In my own anecdotal experience, the most dangerous way to cross the road is in a marked crosswalk with a signal—as in, this is how I've come closest to death by car the most times in the city where I've been living for a few decades. Intersections with these crosswalks often have traffic coming from multiple directions, and you have to really understand the local traffic patterns to cross safely without exposing yourself to a vehicle running a red light or taking a hasty left turn without checking for pedestrians.

I would be interested to know how many of the pedestrian deaths in the statistic you quoted were due to jaywalking.
i remember finding one board of it in a drawer at my university. it instantly felt like a special piece of electronic history, even before i realized it was a cray! (i ran to the old cray in display in the hall and indeed was a board for it :)

the guy at the computer museum was happy
You're right, drivers should simply pause physics and magically stop their vehicle or wear nightvision goggles at all times.

I was making a right turn on a 40mph road on a green light. There's a crosswalk there so I checked and the crosswalk was vacant, made the turn and proceeded to get up to speed on that road.

And then immediately did a hard brake because a woman was illegally crossing the road around a bend, covered by trees, with a kid being dragged behind her, 40 feet from a crosswalk that clearly indicated DO NOT WALK.

There's a reason we have signs. Follow the signs. Having the right away is not the same as being impervious to being struck by a moving vehicle.
> None of this is hidden though.

It absolutely is hidden. Apps are not allowed to be transparent with the user, for how much money is being taken by Apple, directly in the app purchase screen.

That is against the app store TOS, to show as a line item, the cost of the Apple cut.
Can you please point to some information that says that any humans reviewed the videos? The article makes it sound like they just sent the notices automatically based on the output of the software.
Criminalization of jaywalking is like criminalization of drug use (or ownership). It's not only not solving the problem - it's actively making it worse.

The right way to fix pedestrian deaths on the streets is to slow the traffic down. It's a solved problem. It's been tested all over Europe. It works.

As a bonus you get walkable cities, less suburbanization, smaller rich-poor division, less crime in the cities, less traffic jams, more people using public transport and bikes, less air pollution and CO2 emissions.
Well they could just ignore the GDPR, like probably 80+% of the world's websites (of course then someone would complain how dare they ignore EU law...)

It's simply impossible to be aware of all the laws in the world. At some point the simplest and most realistic thing to do is to ignore what does not directly concern you.

From what someone else has commented they are accessible from Norway, so they may already be in breach of the GDPR depending on how they track visitors. Are the Norwegian authorities going after a small-ish organization from Virginia? Nope. They are not even aware that those guys exist and won't bother anyway.

I do agree with you, though, that it is absolutely fair for non-EU websites that don't want to have anything to do with the GDPR to block EU visitors.
> According to the Google-owned platform, the same IP address used to upload 'pirate' movies to the platform also sent DMCA notices targeting the same batch of content.

Could be CGNAT? (I mean, it probably isn't, but IPv4 exhaustion is real!)
The code snippets in the article are unreadable due to low contrast.
All your arguments are about protecting yourself and limiting your liability at the expense of the pedestrian and you just slowing down and taking more care.

You even talk in the passive voice about people being struck by your car rather than you striking them with your car.

That's a shit attitude.
Well, Epic also has an easier case to make: People need Fortnite (and the Unreal Engine). They don't need personalized ads, no matter how much Facebook wants to claim Mom & Pop shops only exist because of personalized advertising. (Last I checked, history books show small businesses existing for centuries before that.)
Combination of high income and low cost of living is ever elusive. We saw the dream get a glimmer of hope with remote work, only to be soon crushed by CoL adjustment announcements. You would be hard-pressed to find, anytime in history and anywhere on planet earth, a time and place where salaries are really high and CoL is really low.
People do a lot of things they shouldn't.

Some of those things have heavier penalties than others.

For example, speeding rarely renders one a quadriplegic.
Chinese Considered 'Language of the Future' for Young Ugandans(2019)
> they wouldn't be so profitable and dominant if people weren't clicking on them

I actually heard that a site got rid of personalized ads and their click rate was better due to the ads being more relevant for that page.

I someone wonder if personalized ads are better for the middleman or if it depends on the site
While builtin support for server side React makes a lot of sense, as a developer I'm really missing a high level browser framework in React that gives me routes, auth, api access.

Maybe I've just been out of the loop. At work every React app I've built had all this custom logic for each of those pieces. But when I start a new project I'm loathe to do all that setup again.

I'd just like an opinionated framework built on React that gets rid of some of this boilerplate of browser routing, auth, api access, etc.

This isn't a knock on React. React is awesome. But at this point it's almost too barebones on its own.
Git doesn't have bad support for large files. It just doesn't make special exceptions for not recording their history like Git LFS does.

I don't see anywhere where Pijul would be different to be honest.
[US]: "Stop the surprise prices!"

[Hospitals]: "Okay, here's our menu of services: Saline $300, Specialist Consultation (20min) $1K, Ambulance Ride $15K."

[Health Insurers]: "If you join our club and pay dues, you get exclusive menu prices: saline $15, consultation $50, ambulance $200."

The problem is different people being charged dramatically different prices to continue living, because of which health insurance (if any) they have, and not being able to change that fact (except once a year).

The solution is that hospitals—and IMO businesses in general—must not charge different prices to different groups of customers (which single payer accomplishes, as I understand it).
The Mysterious Link Between Covid-19 and Sleep
Re taxes: I explicitly addressed that. The government negotiates with the drug companies and sets pricing for an efficiently functional health system. I don't have to and shouldn't have to negotiate. The system costs half per capita to operate and covers everyone.

Re: waiting times, take it from the horses' mouth, you've been fed a crock [1]. Of course the system could be better, but on the whole you're just wrong. The insurance lobby has spent a lot of time, money and effort to convince you of that.

The data backs that up. A small handful of Canadians go to the US to "shop for orthopedic surgery" out of millions of visits per year in Canada. After all a hip replacement in America costs one hundred thousand dollars. Just how many Canadians do you think there are with a spare $100K USD ($128,500 CAD) kicking around in the old piggy bank for a new hip that'd be free in a few months? [2]

If you see 50-60,000 ish numbers they tend to be the 'snowbirds' - Canadians living in Florida for half the year who choose to seek care close to their winter homes. These are folks wealthy enough to have winter homes, and also maintain private insurance.

It's simple - I have a flat $500 copay for an "ER encounter" regardless of what they do in the ER. Just like you have a $40 or whatever copay for a regular doctor visit.
That's a non sequitur. Even single payer systems deny certain treatments or force patients to wait in order to control costs. Every healthcare system has some form of rationing.
Did this used to be an ad/tracking domain? It was listed in one of the adblock lists I use

If anyone has an issue visiting the site double check your adblock.
And smaller. I think the days of a big ‘hero camera’ are behind us. People just don’t want to lug around the weight if they don’t have to, and it’s no longer such a status symbol.
I was envious of Custom Tags at the time - when I was writing PHP3.

I'd like to see a modern reincarnation.
Now ask yourself, how much of that list is the US or Israel also guilty of an equivalent crime? Supporting Palestine is one of the few things that seperates them.
> In 2018, my recommendation was to avoid AMP, to use AMP for the most relevant pages, or to use AMP only.

What an excellent, mediocre, and/or bad recommendation!
Google can't say this directly; forcing people to use your upsell for preferential treatment is likely anti-competitive. Instead, Google ranks on page speed (among many many factors), and then offer a proprietary tool (AMP) that promises to help.
"Executives acknowledge that it is beloved by customers, but say the prior regime didn’t use it in a disciplined way. The chief executive, Mark J. Tritton, said during an investor presentation in October that the company is in the process of 'honing down' its use"

Welp. There it is. The article lists out a bunch of challenges for the company in the face of competitors, and executives want to get rid of the most unique, loyalty-drivers, of the company.
The Yemeni government, I believe.

He absolutely is famous enough to be recognisable on the phone. That's why I'm mentioning it. It is weird indeed. But kinda plausible, I can believe that. Did it never occur to you to meet someone you work with outside of your job and not recognize them before they greet you, just because they are wearing different clothes and you didn't expect to meet them here? It sure ocurred to me. Also, I remember calling my grandma as a kid to tell we'll visit her today (she was delighted to hear that!) and only after putting the phone down realizing that I actually called the wrong number (you had to enter the number manually back then).

I mean, people do make mistakes. And this was very convincing portrayal of a clumsy dude who is prone to making such mistakes. Very realistic fool.
Yeah, I'm incredibly curious as well! I think it's a very cool project, but ball-parking development costs, my guess is the domain probably cost more than the product itself, assuming they didn't go down NIH-type rabbit holes.

Edit: And to be clear, I'm not even necessarily knocking that decision. Maybe an expensive TLD could make life easier for a project like this, since it could promote trust / buy-in, increasing usage at an early stage. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No plans but it should be possible technically. We'd need help from the Julia community :)
Why's your reaction to ban the pedestrians from the street rather than banning the cars from the street?
I grew up with British english. Might be why.

They address this in the RFC. They use JSON as a base transport layer that can be streamed into an HTML renderer. They explicitly target SSR/SSG as use cases for this, and they’re actively working with Next.js for a reference implementation.

I suspect (though they didn’t say so outright) that their choice of a non-HTML layer is because they want to continue to provide core functionality as renderer-agnostic. They do mention React Native as another use case. Presumably the same could be said of renderers targeting e.g. CLI, or smart TV APIs.
I'm sympathetic with the idea of "invisible stuff" - classical energy is famously "invisible stuff" that has eventually gotten explained away in different ways, and has a couple of corners that haven't been battened down. But it's also never been categorically described as something with X properties, it's always been accepted as "something unaccounted for for which we need SOME OTHER model to explain", even after it became Noetherian (you still need to define the field).

Maybe I don't understand your usage but it is rather confusing that you call MOND heavily backfitted and not dark matter. The traditional complaint about dark matter is that it is highly parameterized, requiring an empirically fit factor for each galaxy observed. Am I missing something?
It’s also a poverty of imagination that death is the worst thing that can happen.

Further there is also a general societal argument that we all benefit more from having a more healthy population than dealing with the external costs of a less healthy one.
I saw one last summer at the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris. I was more fascinated then I expected https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Musée_des_Arts_et_Mé...

They looked more like abstract art pieces or 70ties science fiction props.
Yeah wildlife photography, particularly bird photography, can never have enough focal length. I practice stalking techniques to get closer (which has a much better cost/reward ratio to buying bigger lenses) but if you can fill the frame with a bird you can get awesome shots that just aren't possible otherwise. Currently I'm shooting at 600mm, and I definitely want a teleconverter to get up to ~800mm. After that the prices get truly insane so I think I'll just have to find some bigger birds at that point.
Unless I’m missing this functionality somewhere (entirely possible), this lack of user-tuning has ruined Spotify recs for me, since I listen to entirely different playlists when working or meditating. I don’t check out recommendations to get the latest binaural beats or nature sounds, you know?

Although even before I started listening to Spotify while working etc, it seemed to have run out of things to recommend. My weekly discover playlist would be half things I’d already liked. So...who knows. But I miss the discovery functionality quite a bit.
Few months back I've found a way siphon Cellebrite's customers personal details (emails and phones from three letter agencies) which took weeks to report, no bug bounty and bug not fixed yet.

For a company that supposedly hacks everything a security.txt would be nice.

Work with Meteor in 2020
I recently sat down at an old computer (2006 iMac) that I had given to the kids for watching DVDs.

I realised it still had Xcode installed. So I opened it and started a new project. And I really enjoyed it!

Something about coding on this oldish Mac makes me happy. I'm not sure why. In theory it's worse in pretty much every way. Many websites have stopped working on the no longer supported copy of Firefox.

Maybe it's because the old machine reminds me of the time when programming was still new to me. Some of my earliest attempts at GUI apps are still on that Mac. Now I see the same tools, but know so much more things I can do with them.

I'm not sure what my point is. I kinda lost interest in new tech as well, but somehow playing with an old computer made me excited about programming again.
Fair point. My point was just that copyright law outside of the DMCA is the legal impetus here; the DMCA, if anything, weakens the incentives to a ban policy, it doesn’t create them.
Stasi as a Service.

Locally, facebook isn’t much needed for this kind of tracking and targeting. We already have the NSA dragnet for phones and who knows what else.

What is (or would help) stopping it from happening here?

People understanding and caring about how they are tracked, leading to choosing how they use tools and making data collection and use a political issue.
Sure if your model is complicated enough you can add unicorns and Santa Claus.

But those models aren't interesting, precisely because of that.

The interesting models have as few parameters as possible, allowing them to be constrained in their behavior.
I do wonder why they've not chosen to make progress in that regard to advancing the state of the system. Surely these are known good ideas that would improve the customer experience and the system from a technical level. I only speak as a very casual windows user, there is nuance I will miss with Microsoft's attitudes to it.

I would have thought that even a separation between OS and User applications could allow them to implement features like a VFS, while still maintaining compatibility. Are they not part of the way there with Hyper-V + WSL?
DMCA is the copyright law in question.
1) Turkish Kebab / street food like I could find in Melbourne OZ

2) "chips" or "wedges" like I could find in Melbourne OZ

3) Effective (real) chipper-shredders for lawn care. The number of times I've tried to rent one and had to hire someone for $200-300 to turn trees on my property into mulch is beyond frustrating. Heck, even if I needed to get training and take a test for a license I would do it. I think the US took a bit of a harsh stance on these devices for common consumers after it was widely publicized that Saddam Hussein used these devices to turn his political dissidents into "fodder".
Company I work for was a startup that got acquired. I was there for a couple of years and got in the low 10's of thousands $ worth of a bonus thanks to vested stock options.

Not at all! We'd originally bought pop.com to be the new home for screen.so, but once we made this new product, we wanted to launch it asap.

Our plan is to merge the two in the near future, and work on the intersection between 2D and 3D calls.
No, commercial. There are homeless people that jaywalk everywhere and the shopping carts hold their worldly possessions. If there is a shopping cart in a residential area, it usually means the shopping cart was stolen.
Financial industry has ample tried and proven methods how to use anything with fixed supply to create unlimited market in various instruments and derivatives. Bitcoin isn't inherently resistant to that, as most users exchanged the power of holding their private keys for convenience. Ethereum goes even further, explicitly trying to support autonomous instruments. Don't even let me start about Tether and their ilk.
Which there has been, basically. We effectively double the workforce with women entering the labor supply. H1B ramped up in the 90s, but that's not the same magnitude of change.
If you're using SSR (or static generation) for the initial pageload, you can continue to do so. The payloads can just be used to update the page when the user performs subsequent interactions.

Additionally, you can always fall back to clickable links if you really want to support subsequent interactions for users with no JS, if you've built the routing infrastructure for that
