This is what I _hate_ about the Audi striping indicators. Yes, they are actually useful when you see them when they are indicating.

However, when they have the hazard lights on, they still stripe. So if it's still and you can't see the left indicator, it feels like a very strong statement that they are trying to move out.
And their file is even detected by ClamAV as "Multios.Coinminer.Miner-6781728-2". Too bad that Docker Hub doesn't scan its files.

For some folks who'd like me to trust their web knowledge, having an expired certificate certainly doesn't give me any more trust than I already had.

More on topic: I wonder how the REPL story is with Racketscript? Nothing seems to be mentioned in the README nor in the repository which would make this project a non-starter for the people who got used to ClojureScript and similar efforts.
Epic Games: Finding Out
Pulse has a "Gross Margin Analysis" spreadsheet published (probably unintentionally) on their website[1]. It shows that they're charging dealerships $59.00 for the part and it installs in about 15 minutes.

At a 500% markup, it feels less about your safety and more about the dealerships/pulseprotects income safety.

> 3 rapid flashes [...] a common signal for "you’re a little too close"

That's new to me as EU driver. What I tend to do is hit brakes three or more times in a rhythmic fashion to signal there's traffic jam ahead; specifically on Autobahn where speeds go high with distances often way too low, instead of turning on alarm blinkers.
I don't doubt you're trying to be respectful, but you're still not considering what your parent might have meant, and are still claiming your own assumptions as facts for them. For example:

> Ongoing access to 70 million tracks ...

It'd be pretty difficult to go through 70 million tracks for a person. I know it will be for me. Maybe your parent also doesn't need so many tracks.

It is, after all, common for people to compile/curate their own music library. I still do it. I'm not saying your parent does it too, but maybe they have a similar reason to not need access to 70 million tracks.

And:

> Parent's gripe, as stated, are the ads ...

Even if that were the only gripe they've stated, it wouldn't mean that's the only issue they have. In fact, when I read their stated anti-subscription position without an accompanying explanation, I assumed they might have a reason for it, even if they didn't state it here and now.

AMA: I am a 10y+ xp developer with a strong DevOps background
I am Romaric, CEO and co-founder of Qovery. I am building [Qovery](https://www.qovery.com) to help developers deploy their apps on AWS with a Heroku-like experience. I also believe that using a PaaS (like Heroku) should be more transparent on how it works.

Here is my background:

- 10 years ago, I was a systems engineer at Ullink (high-frequency trading - now [ITIVITI](https://www.itiviti.com/)). Part of the SRE team for 4 years, I was managing thousands of Windows, Linux, UNIX servers around the world Scaling and performance issues at all levels :)

- 5 years ago, I was lead backend engineer at Sirdata (ad-tech industry) for 3 years. I was working on processing TB of data per week and scaling our infrastructure. At the time, we were running our infrastructure on-premise on Kubernetes.

- 2 years ago, I launched Qovery - simplifying app deployment in the cloud for every developer. 11000+ developers from more than 150 countries are using our platform. We are running a distributed infrastructure on Kubernetes.

Transmission is a major source of logistical and operational complexity for a power grid. Routing energy across long distances and accounting for changing generation and consumption patterns are problems many intelligent people have spent their careers optimizing the various trade offs.

> Any electricity used for Bitcoin is electricity that isn't used to take a coal-fired power plant offline somewhere else

There are numbers of locations that would be great sources of geothermal power that have literally no way of transmitting that power. Build a mining operation there, no one would notice or care.
What? That analogy doesn’t make sense, the RPi is not the development machine, it’s the target.
You are doing bait-and-switch:

I am not better than average driver in skill, I am safer than average.

Being 'better than average' by comparing to national crash statistics means better than a half-drunk guy who is sleep deprived to boot.

I don't drink, I don't need to drive for 8 hours straight, my vehicle is in good condition, I dont have to deal with a gravel path through the mountains, etc. Those are the people that dies and they are in that statistics
Since I have not seen any evidence that directly supports the lab escape theory, I do not feel deceived. It’s a pretty big jump from not disclosing some proposed experiments that may or may not have been done to lying about likely origins of the virus.

> how does the nuclear power hype train continue?

1) The conglomerates profiting from nuclear are not the same profiting from renewable energy.

2) Renewables can be very decentralized. Nuclear is the most centralized. This changes the balance of power.

3) A small set of people paid to push for some ideas on the Internet can shift public opinion a lot.
So what's the alternative? Don't make people you like stand trial?
The rules of chess are defined by the FIDE Handbook (https://handbook.fide.com/chapter/E012018), not the PGN standard. Although the FIDE Handbook makes no explicit provision for the death of the player, it does say:

“6.9. Except where one of Articles 5.1.1, 5.1.2, 5.2.1, 5.2.2, 5.2.3 applies, if a player does not complete the prescribed number of moves in the allotted time, the game is lost by that player. However, the game is drawn if the position is such that the opponent cannot checkmate the player’s king by any possible series of legal moves.”

Therefore, a draw due to player death is also possible.

Thanks for sharing this, gave me a smile and a good chuckle.

Some other people who are knowledgeable in the domain have posted that there might be some rigor issues.

But I think a lot of us can empathize with the feeling of "No you idiot, that's not how you use that at all!" when it comes to some area we know more about than the average person.

I'm pretty sure my car mechanic winces every time I bring my vehicle back into the shop. That's what I pay him for I guess.
I can't make sense of your comment. The only read I can come up with is that you're saying I'm not a person, and I doubt that's what you mean. What are you trying to say?
Which in the context of chess is extra funny, as the game is basically an abstracted battlefield and losses of figures are abstracted deaths.

Even the expression for the end of the game, shah mat = the king is dead (in Persian).

Since when do windows break most programs every few months? Having to write a patch every few years when Microsoft releases a new OS is pretty low maintenance. And most of the time windows is backwards compatible nowadays, so usually you don't even need to do that.

Most 10 year old games still runs on modern windows even without patches etc.
I just checked our new 2022 Mini SE EV, and fortunately, it doesn't have this design. The turn signal is more like a T rotated 90 degrees with the vertical bar towards the inside of the car.

But I do wish it had amber turn signals, I don't know why the USA doesn't make that the standard since it removes all ambiguity with the brake light.

I feel the same way with "drone delivery fleets".

There's a logical place for an autonomous delivery vehicle, but wasting 95% of its energy fighting against gravity to carry a six pack of beer is absurd.
Make a ground vehicle the size of a Saint Bernard that travels in bike lanes. Big enough to handle a large array of direct deliveries, and probably had a much longer runtime on a charge.

If you want to be really seamless, build dedicated routes for them in underground tunnels.

Even if Assange's extradition request is granted, his court case won't show whether he has committed anything. I suspect much of the prosecution's argument would be secret, and like in Ellsberg's case Assange would not be permitted to present a defense.
My wife cares very little about cars but was pointed these tail lights out to me just yesterday. She said something like "those are stupid, why would somebody buy tail lights like that?" thinking they were aftermarket.
> When you drive, you don't interpret the light of the turn signal, you interpret where it is.

That is not true, you only interpret "where it is" because there is no other information encoded in the light itself, when seeing a regular car with a plain signal you do interpret where it is. But in service cars (police car, ambulances, road maintenance trucks), large truck, or static light signaling, we frequently have special purpose lights with a meaning encoded in the light itself, and in those cases the position is irrelevant, the meaning is 100% in the icon used, so all drivers are already primed to interpret an arrow shaped light as an arrow. Now, those service vehicles don't have those special purpose lights in places were they could be ambiguously interpreted as a turn signal, so there is no problem there, but that Mini turn signal is quite unsettling, it sends two conflicting messages (position vs iconography), and that is BAD in traffic.
I check my lights by turning them on and watching the glow on the garage door in front and wall behind the car.

But with the advent of LED's, I suspect that fewer and fewer people are checking their lights since they rarely fail without physical damage.
Addressing climate change is a wide problem, every branch needs to be addressed:

- switching to EV will eliminate tailpipe emissions (up to 50% per your number, grid dependent)

- greening the grid will reduce more (reduce per-km emissions, as well as reduce manufacturing emissions)

- Hydrogen reduced steel will reduce remaining manufacturing emissions

All of these combined have to happen to get to zero, not just one or the other.
Flashing red lights are generally illegal and reserved for emergency vehicles. Pulse skirts this by claiming it's not a flashing light, but a pulsing one.

"Pulse is the only pulsing third brake light that meets regulatory requirements for use in all 50 states. Step on the brake pedal and Pulse goes to work pulsing, rather than flashing, the third brake light. What’s the difference? NHTSA regulations restrict flashing lights to emergency vehicles. Our award winning rear-end collision deterrent technology causes the third brake light to remain steady burning, even while the light pulses."
Saw 2 of them in San Francisco last night, and I was up there outside of business hours.

I think this is one of those cases where "the future is here, but it's unevenly distributed". If you live in Phoenix, San Francisco, or the South Bay, self-driving cars are already here; if you're in Mountain View they've been here since 2012. If you're in the rest of the country, they're science fiction.

By being spectacularly dangerous for road use.

A race tire is

1. slick

Even the slightest moisture will result in hydroplaning and loss of control. Today’s F1 race was a good example of how the cars go from behaving like their on rails glued to being on ice from a drizzle.

2. made of a special rubber compound

Race tires feel like plastic, not rubber, until they are at temperature. Their operating T is above boiling.

To get to T, you have to drive like a maniac in a way no one has ever driven on streets (seriously, you wont make a live a few km driving the way you have to to keep the tires warm)

3. very wide

Makes them very difficult to handle. Also makes hydroplaning much easier (see point 1)

4. wear out in 100 km.

Number 4 i don't think needs an explanation.

However, if you’re on a dedicated race track these same tires are like putty when they’re used properly and will withstand 6 G of lateral force.

To give you an idea of the grip, a coasting F1 decelerates harder than your road car if you slammed on the breaks. Your road car’s braking performance is limited only by your tire grip.
You're right! This is a brilliant example of the Stroop Effect.

I agree.

About 20 years ago C# was the second language that I'd learnt after C/C++ and remember just picking the C# language spec and learning from it rather than any of the books at that time since all the books were so wordy/verbose that it just didn't make sense. Especially having learnt C from K&R.

I haven't looked lately at other language specs, and don't remember others, but at that time the C# language spec was very well written.

There seems to be a misunderstanding on what they're referring to. You with "self driving cars are a nice luxury" refers to the current iteration, while the main GP is talking about biotech and self driving cars in terms of the potential they hold, perhaps 15-30 years in the future.

We can't go straight from level 2 to level 4 without some real effort, and it's not exactly helpful when new level 2 systems can't even handle curves[0] or will continue to drive for you when you take your seatbelt off[1].

> That sounds like a lot of effort that has to go into this type of marketing then?

Ha, yeah that could definitely be the case depending on what kind of art you're doing I suppose.

She prefers to draw "adult art" for certain niche kinks/fetishes, which have a very large "supply & demand" problem. She enjoys drawing this stuff and does it for fun in free time.

(She will draw mostly anything though. She's done logos for small businesses, portraits bought as gifts to friends/family, etc.)

I could ask her more about how she gets clients/commissions if you want, but I think generally it goes something like this:

1. Join a Discord server based around the particular fetish

2. Post her work in the channels they have for "#i-made-this" or other original content

3. Hang out and chat, mention that she does commissions

4. Wait for people to DM her

And from what she said, it was much harder at the beginning just starting out. What happened was that once she had done a couple dozen commissions, those people would recommend her to other people and the work sort of sporadically but continuously has been rolling in this way.

It's a bit of a snowball effect thing.
I would say almost everyone knows not to text and drive, or run red lights or to speed. Yet these are all frequent occurrences. Even proposals to add speed or red light cameras (with strict rules to prevent municipal abuse) face heavy opposition. I don’t think education alone will fix traffic safety.
Transmission losses and the cost of building thousands of miles of HVDC. Just build them where there is demand for energy, and save the money that would otherwise be spent on transmission infrastructure. Not to mention the difficult logistics of constructing power plants in the middle of nowhere.
I don't agree with the downsides - what you are describing is simply a bad implementation of this mechanism. At the very least, the files could only be checked every 5 seconds, or inotify or similar mechanism could be used.

The main upside is that it is possible for sysadmin to allow 3rd party users to change parts of http server config via ftp (!). And last I checked, php was dominating web landscape - I would argue that the convenience of deploying plays a large part in this.

Plugins... If it is not part of original app, can I trust it will stay available? I might as well use Apache instead.
I imagine if this was ever used, it would be mostly for correspondence games, which can last up to many years.

This is like when Apple announced they're removing jacks and a bunch of people joined the conversation saying, "Hey, wireless works!". That's setting up a strawman and attacking it instead of addressing the point of the conversation.

Wireless already worked. Wireless works with or without a jack. The point was never about whether wireless works. It was always about whether wired, 3.5 mm should be an option.
When you think about the scope of human history, and how little we know, it's sad to think of all the lost work. We only know things going back a few thousand years, but men who have our same cognition have been around for far longer. Plato spoke of a golden age, now long lost, where the flaura and fuana were so plentiful that men didn't need to work. Atlantis is mentioned, stories of a distant time, with men who maybe lived better than we do.
