If the DMV enforced smog checks for motorcycles this problem would disappear within the year - the aftermarket exhausts delete the catalytic system and mean that the output of oxides is actually higher than most cars. It's trivial to swap an exhaust but most riders won't bother to keep around an extra muffler just to swap it on every few years.

I'm not sure anyone would advocate the application to monitor itself. Many companies have entire teams of people that have to deal with keeping machines up and they get paid big bucks to do so.

As for the IDS question/statement - can you explain in more detail? Are you talking about file integrity checks or? Unikernels don't have the concept of users or shells or remote login or many of the things that an IDS would actually be looking at.

If it was something such as an attacker overwriting a shared library and you want to monitor or ensure that can't happen both of those operations are feasible in unikernels.

> Could we still define factorial? This was the problem facing the developers of the lambda calculus (which doesn’t have built-in recursion).

Lambda calculus doesn't have built-in numbers either.
Curiously, the standard representation of numbers in lambda calculus,
the so-called Church numerals, allows for a non-recursive
definition of factorial [1]:

fac = λnλf.n(λfλn.n(f(λfλx.n f(f x))))(λx.f)(λx.x)

I don't see such rigidity since most type declarations in Haskell can be omitted as they will be correctly inferred.

In Australia, for undergraduate students studying history, this is the most commonly assigned essay topic in World War 2 studies.

Most of the students go into it thinking like you.

Nearly all of them change their mind once they look more deeply at the evidence.

The atomic bombings are a classic case where the popular assumed narrative differs significantly from the facts.

And that’s the reason this is assigned as an essay topic. The idea is to sober up the students a little bit and help them understand that their neat worldviews (USA bad!) are not reflected in the messy reality.

We don't need the windows open to hear the cars and such around here (and they're modern windows). We're near a freeway, but it's not the only culprit. The freeway is either silent or quite noisy depending on ambient weather conditions.

But when the cars open up, it sounds like a racetrack. We can hear them accelerating up the on ramp, up shifting as they go, and even when they hit the flyover to the other freeway.

The ratio of motorcycles to cars is actually quite low. Most of the offenders are the V8 pony cars.
I think it was a brilliant idea. I don't know any ecosystem where I can be as productive as with Node.js+Typescript+React. Having everything typed from frontend to backend, even the email templates (tsx + ReactDOMServer) makes refactoring a breeze and work across the entire project.

A) you are your brain chemistry. It makes no difference to the nature of love that you can point to chemical mechanisms.

B) It is easier to cooperate between people with asymmetric wants and offers, as you a far more likely to have a mutually beneficial trade. It is rubbish to say that somehow building a relationship with someone of the other gender is harder, or evolutionarily more 'advanced'

This reads like someone just using the credibility of research (which may or may not be credible) to put forwards their only slightly related pet philosophising.

I feel this is actually doing a disservice to the wider community of those who try and discuss and study e.g. evolutionary motives, or gender differences, by being full of so much dross.

This is great. I regret getting rid of my old computers and manuals. The ZX Spectrum+ manual was indeed a joy, the C64 manual less so, and the Amiga manuals were a bit boring (though a friend kindly gave me some replacements for the latter a couple of years back). Anyway, I learned to program, in BASIC of course, from the ZX Spectrum+ manual, so I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for it. It's still genuinely better than most modern technical documentation and, though it covers all the bases quite thoroughly (excluding assembly and machine code), it's not even a very long read.

I use DDG for almost all personal searches now. Most of my searches are tech related. The results are great and I like the privacy focus. I trust the team behind it to keep making good decisions.

I tried Kagi for a while but I found it harder to skim the results quickly (I can't explain why though) and ended up going back to DDG. Will keep an eye on it though as it seems promising.

Switched from Google a few years ago and very rarely had to !g to get what I wanted. DDG used to struggle with local results but that's vastly improved in the last year or so.

We have a pump organ in our living room. This music is incredibly affirming for me because it sounds very much like music I first started playing when I started playing again AND I started on the pump organ (which at least one of the musicians at the start of the music is playing on).

I've had to really staunchly stand up for myself and my music to other musicians and to my past notions of music, and have definitely gotten defensive around playing music like this.

No more. I'll just send people to this. And I'm definitely going to focus on playing more like this again.

This is basically exactly what we do we have created a cloud optimised tar (cotar)[1] by creating a hash index of the files inside the tar.

I work with serving tiled geospatial data [2] (Mapbox vector tiles) to our users as slippy maps where we serve millions of small (mostly <100KB) files to our users, our data only changes weekly so we precompute all the tiles and store them in a tar file in s3.

We compute a index for the tar file then use s3 range requests to serve the tiles to our users, this means we can generally fetch a tile from s3 with 2 (or 1 if the index is cached) requests to s3 (generally ~20-50ms).

To get full coverage of the world with map box vector tiles it is around 270M tiles and a ~90GB tar file which can be computed from open street map data [3]

> Though even that would only work with a subset of compression methods or no compression.

We compress the individual files as a work around, there are options for indexing a compressed (gzip) tar file but the benefits of a compressed tar vs compressed files are small for our use case

I don't know, maybe I'm dumber than I think I am, but I've been building software for 10+ years with a lot of different tools in a lot of different environments and I really like Node. Like with all tools, it depends on the use case and the players, but I've used it with great success for BE web services (yes, at scale), CLI tools, and automation. Some of the worst and some of the best code I've ever read has been JS. It requires discipline, but that doesn't make it inherently bad.
But, this system does kinda work and allows for police to charge antisocial assholes with a crime while letting normal, reasonable people who made a simple mistake off with a warning.
It's also one of those things that actually is simple in restricted cases, then when you try to generalise it blows up badly, and it blows up like a time bomb rather than a landmine. When a time bomb explodes you don't quite know when it was triggered, but you have to deal with it then and there, learning a heck of a lot about time libs in general before you can proceed. What's a leap second, which years have a leap day, are time zones connected to places somehow, and so on. Just so you can fix your calendar that's part of a larger app.
Adding a long duration deep space maneuvering system to allow the trash to precisely navigate the necessary gravity assists would also be far from feasibly economical.

> It's obvious to anyone with a pulse that electric cars are ramping up and will displace the current fleet, and equally obvious that that operating model (plug in your car at night) will increase base load requirements.

It strikes me that transitioning to electric cars could become less viable the more we rely on renewables+batteries, as grid scale battery storage could hugely exacerbate shortages of battery materials.

Though on the other hand grid batteries would also spur more research into battery tech which could change the game for both grid & mobile batteries.

It seems like a huge gamble commiting to grid storage in the hopes of big innovations down the road instead of doubling down on baseload nuclear.
Globally there's about 9,000 gigawatt hours of pumped hydro, annually we produce about 1388.85 TWh worth of Ammonia (mostly for fertilizer) so chemical storage of electrical energy as green hydrogen/ammonia has a fairly clear growth path.
I'm down with this, though I honestly don't know why this isn't handled at yearly road worthiness checks - around where I live the problem is essentially the same 2 or 3 people who have done the standard oversized exhaust mod to their cars.

Just ban the stupid things on public roads and stop letting people register them.

>For example, killing is wrong -- we don't want individuals making complex rationalizations about how the end justifies the means.

Humanity justifies it in self-defense and war. A long time ago, civilizations justified human sacrifices. It doesn't take a complex rationalization. Only a convincing one.

While the platitude of "killing is wrong" is repeated by everyone, if you dig deep enough, people will still provide carveouts for themselves and their country or religion. Whether killing is good or bad is assessed by people objectively in terms of motives and consequences, and, on a subjective level, manner and "proportion". There wouldn't be a distinction between homicide and murder if humanity as a whole practiced what it preached.

>But something as complex as the place a person chooses to live? No, that's a morally-neutral choice. It may not be optimal for the benefit of society, but that's not what morality is about.

I agree entirely. However this seems like a massive departure from what I've had to argue against in this forum. Plenty have claimed the opposite, that morality is all about society and any correlated externality IS obliged to be solved by government or the people through a half-baked redistribution scheme.
This is a very silly dichotomy: you'd need to show that cars that are intentionally modified to make more than the legal noise limit are actually saving lives.

The opposite is probably true, given that that's probably a relationship between wanting to illegally modify your car and disregarding other automotive laws and norms.
It's been said several times already but I really love the names. They add so much flavor to it and, surprisingly enough, really seem to get my imagination going, haha.
What database/records do you think the cops check when you call in a complaint?

You can call in a complaint about a bogus website to them too, and it’s even easier to figure this out? (From being familiar with those databases)

The issue is that unlike someone with a physical presence in a specific place which makes someone vulnerable to being physically arrested, the internet makes it easy to do something that would otherwise result in that consequence from a place where that consequence is impossible.

And no amount of traditional records and ‘call the cops’ type processes are going to address that. And no amount of extra visible information somewhere in a place that will be overwhelming and ignored is going to fix it either.

Cops are about physical restraint (generally), aka ‘arrest’, which is the only proven ‘lowest common denominator’ way anyone seems to have figured out to ACTUALLY stop someone from doing something. You take them physically, put them in a cell where they can’t access anything but the things you hope they can’t abuse, and hold them until another resolution is figured out or you have to release them anyway.

To avoid problems like a random cop in rural Arkansas from going to Washington and arresting the president, the area different police are able to do this in is restricted, various rules and laws, etc. further restrict when, where, and how they can do it, etc.

Fundamentally that means most cops are helpless in this scenario unless said bogus website scammer is dumb enough to scam people in his same town/city/state/whatever.

And unless everyone takes a ‘scam unless proven innocent’ approach which pretty fundamentally breaks the internet’s usefulness, CA signing and the like doesn’t really solve any of that problem, no matter how accurate the information is.
Shit, I'd gladly donate the money to city coffers. Just make these idiot drivers' actions hurt them more than they hurt me, which is currently not the case.

I was advised by the installer to keep the covers on them because it's illegal to have them on the street in an uncovered state. Other source: got pulled over for something, and the cop let me go because someone drove by in what looked like a UFO landing sight.

Indie devs are particularly susceptible to imagining their game is fun, and attributing that to the fact that their idea must be a good one. This is triply terrible when the plan is to make a game that is big and has tons of story.

Stand your ground laws exist, although i'm not sure how you would prove you were threatened by a child
About 7 years ago I was toying with making an open-source raspberry pi with a decibel meter you could stick to your window and it would listen for loud noises and tweet the police department to say that a loud noise (likely motorcycle groups that ride up and down my street) had been located at X location.

I had a few friends who said they would also put them in their windows, so we could have a few devices coordinate to confirm it wasn't just a loud neighbour or something.

I built a prototype, but when I started measuring how loud the motorcycles were, it was often within the legal limits (I think 80db or something).

Partly, this is because it was inside my apartment, but they sure sounded loud.

I spoke to a police officer friend about what to do, and he said the police just didn't care. I pointed out how easily they could use a decibel meter on their phone to measure how loud, but it was a complete non-interest for them.

Good to see NYC taking action on this. Hopefully more cities follow suit.

A stock Harley is relatively quiet, although it's still a bit louder than any modern car I've seen. The problem is that people regularly install aftermarket mufflers which do not muffle, even in states where this is theoretically illegal, and I've definitely heard them drown out my car radio in chk-chk-chk a few times.

You're wrong about that. A package manager installs any type of software, the user interface of the software (command-line or GUI) is irrelevant. For example, chromium and kcalc: `apt install chromium kcalc`

Yeah this is a slippery slope.

But if the system instead forwards the videos to like the police department where a human reviews it before writing a ticket, it’d take the AI dystopia down a few notches. At that point it’s just an AI-assisted security camera.

There’s still the question of the integrity of the system. How do we know the microphone was working properly at the time of the recording? Or that the video wasn’t tampered with, etc.
