In the United States, cops pull over most bikes, especially after 10 pm. It's almost like they just hate bikers?

The bikers I know are not getting buzzed at the local watering hole, and aiming the bike home. It's not the 70's.

In my county, the fatal bike crashes are usually new high end high performance bikes, on country roads. They are experienced, but pushing it. They are cold sober.

The days of having a few beers, and driving home on the bike, or even an old car, must be down across the county?

Cops realized a while ago that most Americans have no qualms over arresting a guy over a DUI, and they are villigant.

To vigilant in my opinion. (I heard in Texas if a dui defendant can prove they were not physically, or mentally impaired, while doing a computer simulation, they might get out of a dui? This might be just a rumor? I feel it's more fair, especially when a marginal dui can significantly impair your economic viability for years, especially for the poor.)

In upper class neighborhoods, it's usually the only crime they can solve, after pulling over 50 sober drivers?

My brother got a DUI over .04 BAC. He also had weed in his system from the day before, and clumsily told the cop the truth when asked. Bored officer, "Did you take any drugs?". My naieve brother, "well yesterday I smoked some weed.". Arrested, and lost the case.

My point is the DUI scare is real among everyone, but the naieve.

When I had my motorcycle, I was pulled over so many times for no reason it was maddening. It's the main reason I don't ride anymore.

Getting pulled over for no reason other than a cop hoping to nab a marginal dui is really irritating.

I've gotten to the point where I have two dash cameras always activated, and I try to not go out past 10 pm in an old car.

(I can offer this, if you are ever in Marin County CA, expect to be pulled over if driving a motorcycle at night. Also expect to be pulled over if you look ethnic, or drive an older vechicle. We have a bunch of bored cops, and they look for anything they can to fill up that duty sheet. Oh yea, they peer into bars, and follow patrons home.)
Probably it's not the capability to send custom intents. Everytime i buy a new device, i look for apps with unknown or curious names, check the manifest and use an app like Intent (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=krow.dev.schem...) to poke around.
Could you elaborate on what you mean by "compromised"? Sure, they can no longer be stacked 7 units high, but I am skeptical that cutting out a handful of windows and a door is going to make a container structurally unsound for the purposes of container homes.

Cut out a whole side wall? That's a very different story.
That wasn't my point. It was that iPhones need not limit apps to the "App Store" in the name of protecting the system, since it can sandbox apps, wherever they come from.
This is the "quick" version. They write "we expect to provide our detailed RCA for this incident by 5:00pm PDT (24:00 UTC) on April 29th, 2021, or sooner."

"woke SJW" is a term for a specific kind of political activist, which can be _very_ harmful to a business.

Not wanting to deal with SJWs has nothing to do with dismissing concerns about the work environment and expressing concerns about the work environment does not render someone an SJW.

And a business is, as the name implies, about the business. Not about inclusivity.
All the examples[1] are about the index. And indeed, the index is probably a feature that should have been optional. While it's supremely useful for maintainer-side operations (splitting patches, picking out parts of them, committing only the meat of a patch and not debug code, etc...) it's really not useful for a typical new user. At all. New users would be best served by a "commit" variant that simply updated the HEAD commit in place.

[1] Actually not the last one. I couldn't figure out what they were talking about. "Only committed versions of a file can be part of a branch" -- I mean... duh? Branches are a DAG of committed trees. I don't understand what they're asking for when they complain that the working version of a file can't be part of more than one branch. It's not part of any yet!

Design a notation based on existing norms to whatever specificity you deem adequate).

I like process boxes with four sides.

Left side takes input, the right spits output.

Top side takes constraints, rules, or links to specs.

Bottom accepts triggering mechanism, temporal/sequential constraints, polling, and other controls.

Complex Processes get decomposed down to autonomous objects that can be programmed as desired.

Many of the stripped down existing iconic notations can be similarly instrumented to be useful. Be your own guru.
Firefox is really only using 5 gigs because the system has so much RAM in the first place. It's just their default tuning options. If the RAM is needed for slack/discord/spotify, then just restart Firefox. It'll make use of a fraction of what is left.
You can also reduce Firefox RAM usage in about:config and by reducing the number of content processes in settings.

But Firefox is really very good with crazy numbers of tabs these days.

I'm a Google shareholder partly because I find their ads are so poorly targeted at me.

For example, I'm currently looking to buy a car - my recent search history includes "buy z4" and "merc c class". Yet YouTube is showing me generic ads for the local supermarket and off-track-betting (and I've never gambled in my life). So it seems Google has a lot of room to improve the algorithm that matches viewer to advertiser
What do you mean by your question?

Of course it's progress. It's just a matter of asking what we are progressing towards.

IDK, if you ask me it's testosterone. When it's low, I can sit in a chair for 12 hours a day writing code. When it's high, I want to socialize, travel, and low-level tasks make me angry. I want to think big and strategically.
25/mo = 300/year... if you figure that box is equivalent to a 1200$ laptop = 4 years... except you don't have to pay up front and you get to upgrade to more modern hardware as it comes out.

The flip side is you need a fast internet connection and a relatively cheap endpoint laptop.

I don't know, doesn't seem like a good deal to me, but it's not a ridiculous idea. Being able to timeshare the expensive hardware would be a good thing.

> A person is either a Muslim or a non-Muslim.

As long as you accept it is their right to define that, and not you!

One might use "identifies as" to avoid the classic response of "ah but x was not really a y because z". Someone who believes themselves to be a Muslim simply is. You can call them a bad Muslim, ignorant, misinformed, misguided etc. But they are what they believe themselves to be.

“ The researchers based their findings on five separate studies. The first four examined the extent that people accurately perceive social class based on a few seconds of speech. They found that reciting seven random words is sufficient to allow people to discern the speaker’s social class with above-chance accuracy. They discovered that speech adhering to subjective standards for English as well as digital standards — i.e. the voices used in tech products like the Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant — is associated with both actual and perceived higher social class. The researchers also showed that pronunciation cues in an individual’s speech communicate their social status more accurately than the content of their speech.”

It's not a bad thing to teach. Between "box diagrams" and "box diagrams with well-defined arrow types" I'd pick the later.

Same thing with design patterns: they won't solve all your problems but give engineers a common vocabulary.
I am in the same club :)

I don't usually care about companies success or failure, this none of my business, after all, but this kind of "innovation" could have extremely unpleasant side effects.

I hope they crash quick.

There is a really good example of this in the Q1 report. The chip shortage that has hit a lot of car manufacturers also hit Tesla, but they quickly changed hardware and developed new firmware. Only a software savvy company can do that.
For those who don't want to support YouTube or Google, an app called NewPipe can be installed with F-droid that lets you watch videos without ads.
Except that ties access to these companies depend on to people who have the money to do so, which creates a huge imbalance
You move asymptotically slower from the point of view of the particle falling in the black hole.
From outside the black hole, the falling particle should fall into the black hole at a speed close to the speed of light. (but we can't observe that from the outside)

The image an outsider would see "printed" on the black hole has nothing to do with where the falling particle is.
Privacy by Design is reformist: But do we need revolution?
To address your comment another way, the majority of drunk drivers make it home safely, but drunk driving is a bad pattern that leads to bad outcomes. It does no good to point out that most drunk drivers actually make it home just fine (and it's certainly not fallacious to warn others that drunk driving leads to negative outcomes, even if it actually usually doesn't).

The belief that one is fighting evil is a standard negative pattern in human behavior. One should watch out for it, even if it sometimes works out ok, because when it doesn't you just crossed the center line and killed a family of four on their way to grandma's.
One of the big deals with electron-et-al is that we're not married to JavaScript, really; we're married to "the DOM and css" as our gui, and things like FF/Chrome/Safari devtools to develop that gui.

Most javascript developers are already using babel-et-al pipelines to build electron apps, which are already transpiling between major variants of javascript, and I wouldn't at all surprised to see a thing where it gets compiled into WebAssembly rather than interpreting javascript. I also think there's a thing, right now, where it's possible to build electron apps with Rust+WebASM; I'm not sure, but I think the main thrust here is it definitely would eliminate a huge chunk of the slowdown.

I guess the main takeaway is just that the development revolution that's happened recently is mainly about how insanely good browser dev tools have become, and not about javascript - javascript was just along for the ride. As an aside - I recently saw a video of someone demoing one of the old Symbolics LISP workstations, and I was shocked to realize how much they had in common with a modern browser console - specifically of being able to inspect all of your gui components, live, and look at all the properties set on them. It's provided a hell of a way for me to explain what the deal was with all the old gurus in the 80s "AI Winter" diaspora who were pretty butthurt about having to move from programming in that environment, to having to write C on DOS (or whatever else paid the bills at the time).
> If it's based on a real policy that can be verified by others, then there is no ambiguity here.

In this particular case, the ambiguity is exactly that - Google didn't say what what real policy was broken or how.

> GenServers aren't useful for concurrency.

Sure, maybe not by themselves but typically you would run many GenServers concurrently in your application as part of a supervision tree. Libraries like Broadway (and the underlying GenStage) are essentially just leveraging GenServer to make it easier to orchestrate concurrency and state synchronization across multiple processes in your application. But you could build a comparable system on your own just using GenServer and a dynamic supervisor.

> If this droid script equivalent were going to start reading my emails watching me through the camera, reading my clipboard, or tracking my real world location, I’d definitely want something that alerted me to that before it happened.

Android has supported permissions since at least Froyo (2010), and these permission requests were made on-demand/runtime rather than pre-install with Marshmallow (2015). So Droidscript would be unable to do any of those things (except reading the clipboard) until you explicitly granted those permissions to the app.
Yes, one of the worst hacks in all of home networking is exactly this... rewriting the MAC address. aka "MAC NAT." Alternatively, proxy ARP + proxy ND can also work. The Apple stuff may be able to autonegotiate over some proprietary handshake if it's an Apple AP and Apple Extender.

There is also a new standard that covers 4-address frames, 802.11ak; I have no idea how widely that is adopted though — it was only released in 2018[1].

The article specifies pretty clearly that the data used included, in part, things like voices from consumer speech recognition products. Furthermore, they found that speech patterns were associated with an actual higher social class.
But it's more accessible to just use the website directly in this case, right? Why would I print it just to read it through a Hololens?
> I'm a Google shareholder partly because their ads are so poorly targeted at me.

What?

Also, I'm fine with ads not being targeted at me. It's really annoying to look up information on a toaster and then get bombarded with ads for toasters.
It didn't play for me, but this is fantastic and brings me back to the 90's / early 00's era of web design with midis and sound effects. I miss that web.

Music and sound effects add to the mood and aesthetic of presentation. It's not so strange, either. TikTok leans on it heavily and people are loving it.

I want a return to sound on the web.
I'm sure linux will run on these chips as well. If I'm not mistaken linux has already booted on the M1.
IIRC, Amazon Silk browser used to promise something like this, but seems like settling on a traditional browser design. I wonder where it went and what pushed to that decision.

The negativity is no more unwarranted than positivity. Each depends on what problem a person values. In terms of housing the unhoused this doesn’t do anything. In terms of aesthetic possibilities for people with money it provides another option where a wide array of options already exist.

In HN terms, this is a “rewritten in Haskell.” It demonstrates someone understands a bit about 3D printing. It demonstrates some ideological purity. It doesn’t demonstrate a better solution to existing problems.

The complexity of the logistical chain precludes wide spread application where housing is a basic need. You don’t just need the printer machine. You need a fleet of other machines to keep it full of ink. Shovels won’t do.

In the 1950’s, my mentor the late David Crane, FAIA was a young man. He enthusiastically designed precast concrete shelters for post disaster housing. Running the economics at the end of it, its viability was mostly limited to lower Manhattan.

People have been solving housing for millennia. Stick lumber and reinforced concrete are real breakthroughs by virtue of their commoditization.

This is wrapped up in secret sauce. Beautiful as with the myriad other beautiful ways to build.

Most choices are not between bread and cake. They are bread or nothing.
Whoa. That's excellent to hear.

Since they are non-upgradeable, I will certainly be waiting until a unit with at least 32GB RAM (ideally 64GB) before I'd upgrade at all and consider it future-proofed, but this is great to know!

Hey, I am the original author, I know I made some simplifications, that blog was meant to attract new people to a STEM group written on a blockchain, and to promote science and tech for everyone.

One thing I plan to do is to read "The doctrine of fascism" and compare it to the Lee Kuan Yew book about the building of Singapore, and with some good accounts of China's current policies. There must be a number of parallels, but also divergences.

But here we are with COVID-19. Each of those flus were slightly worse than the previous leading up to where we are now. It's not that the scientists/doctors were wrong to make the warnings. Similar in how NWS is not wrong to issue Severe Weather warnings as frequently as they do. All it takes is the one time to have had advance warning and to not use it.
> Sequence diagrams, as probably most other UML diagrams too, predate UML.

This misses the point of UML, entirely. The point is not that diagramming was invented, it was that it was standardized.

For enterprise this could make sense, you decrease the service area (no desktop OS, only a browser). Enterprises often have difficulties scaling their remote desktop solutions. But then again, enterprises can have difficult requirements which could make scaling hard again.

Homelab is a wide hobby. Some people assemble their lab to learn how things work as a way to skill up for work. Some people assemble a small lab (sometimes just a single box with a bunch of VMs) to run home automation or media applications.

Other people just enjoy the blinkenlights.
I use a 55" Curved Samsung 4K TV. The DPI is similar to a 24" 1080p in a 2x2 configuration. The curve provides a similar effect to turning 2 monitors toward the viewer. I don't use the height very often, as I have progressive lenses and have to really look up to see the top. But I can lean back for watching a full screen video quite comfortably. IMHO it's fantastic. For those that can still see a difference in Hi-DPI an 8K 55" would be for them. I really don't need it though and this thing costs about $600 at Wallmart.

When I was at uni and I logged in from home with my 1200 baud modem, I used vi's "open mode" (no, vim doesn't have it), which is visual mode, but restricted to one line at a time. I even had a shell alias for "ex +o $*" to start it. It was quite fun to use, but nowadays it's not terribly useful anymore, so I can see why vim hasn't implemented it.
"Recycled"? None.

Deorbited: quite a few. Depends on orbital altitude. Low-earth orbit satellites generally deorbit by themselves eventually, but at the upper range of low-earth orbit that can take a few thousand years unless they are intentionally deorbited.

In geosynchronous orbit, nothing is ever deorbited, it's too costly in terms of fuel. They are instead raised in altitude a few hundred klicks to get them out of the way.
I've always wondered with things like this, could it be possible to make all interaction "text-based" until final stage?

Specifically for hiring:

What if applicants submitted resumes, but the name and school they attended are replaced with numbers. Then throughout the interview process all interactions were text-based and they were addressed by this number. Then offer/acceptance is based on merit (hopefully) and not on economic status, race, gender, etc.

I admit this isn't exactly well thought out, just a thought I've had as a possible way to hopefully weed out any areas for bias to creep into the process.
My daily dose of escapism. I'd participate if I could.
