There's politics in the procedural sense of adhering to laws and regulations, which is just something we have to accept as part of rule of law, contracts, etc. They're usually far from perfect but will always exist in some kind of form.

Then there's the politics of protest, and you sure as hell don't want those in any critical software. Would you want the software that controls your water supply to be similarly politicised in the way this peacenotwar package does? No - because water supply should be politics free at providing the actual service (i.e. water) even though the actual infrastructure was funded by politicians.
What experiments removed the speed limits?

Anyhow, there were experiments in Europe where all street signs were removed from small towns. Traffic accidents and deaths declined, contrary to all expectation.
The comment said "people", not "individuals" or "a person".

And considering how highly technical something like a modern water treatment plant can be, data centers are already a major force behind some of our potable water.
Does this apply to the offline installer too?
Maybe speed limits aren't achieving much at the moment, but it must be possible to start enforcing them and gradually change that culture - after all, drunk driving used to be just as routine as speeding is now.
I wish I could remember. My mum used to bring these things home from the art college library on long loan. It was by an industry professional, on the processes to design efficient boxes, packing, cardboard constructions. I can't find it online.

I got a really nice notebook from incident.io. I use a lot of notebooks and this one is pretty high quality. Please people, more notebooks and more pens. Preferably erasable gel pens. Those are fantastic.
This (arrays implementing IntoIterator) is probably the improvement with broadest impact of the last 12 months.

It even makes lots of Rust's documentation examples more readable. Previously if there's an iterator involved somewhere, the doc example ends up constructing say vec![1,2,3,4,5] and a reasonable novice might ask why do we use a vector here? Today Rust's documentation just says [1,2,3,4,5] because sure, an array of five elements 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 that makes sense why use any other data structure?

The people I've seen this target mostly use Chrome and aren't extremely tech literate - they'll hover the sign-in link, would see a real Steam or Microsoft URL and a very convincing fake popup. You really only notice if you try to move them out of the window, if you're not paying a lot of attention.

This is one of the primary methods Discord scammers phish for accounts nowadays, and it still seems to be extremely effective.
Yeah fair enough. Just pointing out the word Hokkien in English does not really mean 福建, even if that's where the word comes from.

Although local municipalities often ignore the entire Bill of Rights, I believe at the State level they take the 6th Amendment more seriously, specifically the right of the accused to confront and cross-examine the witnesses against them. It really is not possible to cross-examine a camera, a machine, a computer, or a more complex system. This kind of 6th Amendment issue was explored in a first season episode of the original Star Trek series, Court Martial.[1]

It's weird that CT scans cost hundreds (thousands?) of dollars when used in medicine but at the airport everyone's baggage is routinely scanned for approx. $free.

Is the hardware and software needed for CT scans really that expensive or not?
Isn't it bad to require horizontal scroll in general ?
I think we're mostly in agreement. I mean, I did go and get vaccinated so the coercive measures did work on me, and I also wore a mask when I had to. But I really chafe at the notion that we haven't set a profound precedent in terms of governmental control over daily life, and a lot of people seem completely fine with all these mandates and vaccine passports. I find it kind of shocking, even though I'm pretty heavily pro-vaccine.
At the very least, when horizontal scrolling isn't the more common use to drag a map with a "hand" pointer? In that case there is a natural mapping without any need to grab a (thin) scrollbar, if there even is one.

On mobile, with such a drag operation, I suppose one could place a finger between menu items so as to not select anything while dragging.

When you say "local textile industry" are you thinking of cotton growing, yarn spinning, fabric weaving, or shirt cutting/sewing? Because those are all totally different things done in totally different parts of the world. There is no longer such thing as "local textile industry".

How would investors tell the difference between executives that are actually optimizing for ten year health, vs. executives who are floundering and using fake long-termism as an excuse to delay accountability? Ten years is a long time to wait to find out if a strategy works or not.
Information and dictatorship never go hand in hand.
Airport baggage scanners are nowhere near the complexity of CT machines. Not even the same kind of device. They also don't have to be designed and certified for human subjects.
On the contrary, it looks like a lot of essentials are still missing: HDMI out, webcam, speakers, Thunderbolt, USB3, backlights, and of course, the GPU. This is "usable", but a long ways away from being a daily driver. I think you can cross the "mostly there" threshold when the GPU is working...

> The hamburger menu on the web is what the touch screen are for cars.

I thought this was a brilliant analogy. But you don't seem to have meant it.

> Like with touch screens in cars, we get something for what we give and it might just be the best we can reasonably do given constraints.

Touchscreens in cars are a huge step back from what we had in the 80s. They're far more despised than the hamburger menu. Complaints about the hamburger menu generally take a tone of disgruntled resignation. Complaints about car touchscreens are burning outrage.

There is no way touchscreens in cars can be the best we can do given constraints, because they're much worse than what they replaced.
Prevailing wisdom is never accept the counter-offer. You’ve broken the bond when you give notice, and they’ll replace you as soon as they can.
> What makes you so sure they were drunk or high?

Inability to keep the car straight on a 4 lane freeway when there's no traffic means drunk or high.

High speed recklessness to me is overdriving your ability to see ahead and react. This varies considerably even on the same stretch of road due to lighting, weather, traffic, etc. 60mph can be way too slow on a fine sunny day with no traffic, and insanely reckless on an icy day in high winds.

Go buy a 40 pint per day dehumidifier and then start sizing the solar power you will need to run it all day, and then make sure there is enough humidity in the air to actually get 40pints/day and make sure there is enough battery to make up for the days that aren’t sunny, and realize the people who need water generally don’t have that much water in the air, and then realize this is a pipe dream.
Yes, I want the political ideas that "the user should maintain control over software he/she uses" and "the user has a right to repair technologies he's using" reflected in my software.

This is definitely a terrible and destructive decision by the maintainer(s) but not because its politics.
Governments place a lot of rules on corporate governance already. Maybe a new one is called for. Maybe a social movement that pushes index funds to exercise the voting shares they hold. I'm open to ideas.

How is this not virtual terrorism? It targets a section of users indiscriminately (it ain't hitting Putin's Government exclusively), and it causes damage to make a political point.

It seems to me that you are appealing to emotion. And while it's sometimes effective in convincing others (and defenitely more than understandable in this case), it's not very effective in properly discussing ideas.

What exactly, if any, is the issue in Cloudflare's response?

Solidarity should go to all affected by this war, but that doesn't have to come in the form of disabling this specific service for Russian websites.
Today I made a release of my npm package that gets 41k downloads a month.

Something in the release process botched itself and a git tag was not made of the release, but it still made it to npm anyway. I immediately fixed the issue and made another release, with a tag.

I went to the npm website and didn't see an obvious way to remove the botched release or even mark it as botched. Maybe there is something on the cli, but I'm lazy.

I also got an automated issue created by "ChainAlert", whom I've never heard of before. "This issue was automatically created to inform you a new version (x.y.z) of yourproject was published without a matching tag in this repo."

It seems like some effort is going into at least bringing this issue to the attention of the maintainers, but I feel like it should somehow be integrated into NPM directly in addition to an issue being created in my project.

US computers are attacked by foreign nations all the time.
Most collisions are caused by a confluence of multiple factors, and reducing them to a single "cause" is misleading.
On the other hand, if intelligence agencies are personally targeting you it's already over. This might help them, but even they can probably get everything they need on you with way less effort.

Bread is one area where the US is sorely lagging behind Europe and there needs to be some sort of revolution. I don't think most Americans know what they are missing. I hope this will change soon, similar to the progress that has been made over the past 30 years with coffee and beer (and somewhat with cheese).
Your average JS project has way too many dependencies
Having recently finished up five years in Munich and being back in the states, I can’t really disagree. Some brands in the US, like Killer Dave’s, are okay, but it’s hard to get heavier breads and especially rolls here.

We’re using the Wildgrain subscription box to get good bread, but it’s quite pricey, and the croissants it comes with seem impossible to bake correctly (following the instructions just has them come out with a clearly undercooked center).

Baloney. We had computers for decades before we had GPUs. And considering most computers are just used for browsing the web, writing documents, and writing code, most people rarely touch their GPU (YouTube being Media Engine Decoding and not technically the GPU).

Even my job - I write web apps, I don't need a GPU. If it can play audio through a headphone jack, and draw a window nicely without aggravating amounts of tearing (though I might work in a full-screen CLI anyway), I don't care, it's Linux!

[Edit: I'm not disputing a GPU is nice to have. I am dismissing the overly negative reply above.]
tarball don't really have a footer or header that contains info of all files. To add a file to a tarball, all you need is remove the end-of-file marker, append to it and make a new marker. And that works extremely well with stream compressors (you just remake the last section).
Most people probably also have no adblocker, so are being subjected to visual overload all the time they're browsing. I could definitely see that causing them to stop noticing things, if they're already spending a lot of (possibly unconscious) effort filtering out all the ads and other distractions on a page.

Replace "public domain" with "CC0" and it's a fair point. OSI hasn't approved CC0, and it's worth questioning how important OSI's whitelist is, or whether they should be the ones curating it.

But everybody kinda knows that CC0 is more or less in the spirit of the OSD (so long as there are no patents involved) and OSI doesn't go around hollering about it, because it's not that important.

As opposed to the Commons Clause, and other historical attempts to undermine "open source" as being nothing more than "source available" — those are battles worth fighting. The OSD is more important than OSI. If OSI were ever to change the OSD in a substantive way, there would be a huge revolt against them.

Also: Scud missiles are comparable, made outside western cost inflation, and still ~$1M each. So I'm guessing you can't get a ballistic missile anywhere near $10k (at least, not one that isn't more likely to kill its owner).

Only because of the recent events I've actually realized how bad the situation is, when it comes to freedom of expression, in Russia (it also got worse).

regardless of the goals, malware is malware.

I think there's an overton window here which is getting pushed. People need to stop unilaterally imposing their own form of punishment to a group of people, just to make a political statement.

It was bad with the BLM saga, but apparently at the time, it was too politically incorrect to say. It is still bad now that the russian invasion is causing an even wider and larger number of such malware.

Make political statements with your government, or do it as a standalone organization. Put ads in the papers, media etc. Don't use an unrelated platform, such as software distribution platforms to make a political statement - esp. if it harms the end user in some ways. There's a name for such action - it's called terrorism. I would hope that the people living in civilized society can see that.
The library possibly has her loan history still. You could ask her to check with them if they could find out for you.

That doesn’t answer my question.

To be more direct, I’m suspicious that this is just a misleading / question begging way of saying “in 73% of accidents, someone was speeding.” Which doesn’t really tell me anything unless I have already accepted the premise that speeding is usually a problem.
Several laptops, open box iphone, rack-mount servers, high-speed scanners, hard drives, 2 9-track tape drives (yes really!), ...

You might run into an occasional problem, but sellers I've dealt with are mostly good about returns or exchanges if there is a problem.

I did buy some AMD CPU chips one time from a guy. I needed 12 to upgrade some servers but only bought 4 at first. Worked great. Then I ordered 20. I received a flat envelope in my mailbox. I thought "Hmm, that's odd, it looks empty." Instead of being smart and opening it while taking a video, I just opened it and -- it was empty. I figured it was just a shipping mistake, called the guy, and he said he shipped them (actually he had a shipping person doing the packing so they might have been the thief) and I was trying to rip him off. He ended up giving me a discount on the 12 I needed but didn't refund the 20 I didn't get. It was the only place I could get them, unfortunately.

The way I look at it, I've gotten pretty good deals on everything at eBay, so if I get a little screwed once in a while, it all averages out to be okay.

How are copyright holders going to chase spun-up shell companies in some random country abroad where there is zero chance of pursuing them? That'd be the main reason why Facebook is being pursued here, because getting to the advertiser is hopeless.

OK, I'm a spammer. I say I'm not advertising financial investments but then my ad either more or less is a financial scam, or is some grey area where people are lured to a site (which gets changed after approval) or it names some new crypto thing which the vetter has never heard of before. Or it uses the likeness of a celebrity specific to the target country and that the vetter doesn't recognise. Does the celebrity want to be contacted for every submitted ad to answer "Is this you? Did you approve this?" Do you need to have vetters in every country and with knowledge of each industry - is this medical ad a scam? What about this one about naturopathy? Facebook might have the means of dealing with something like this, but for anyone smaller hosting ads that wouldn't be the case. So then you'd need a way of segmenting legislation by scale.

Then it's whack a mole with new scammers reappearing if you smack one down.

I can't see it happening without regulatory action either.

East Europeans bake real bread. Sadly what you find in North America supermarkets and most bakeries is fluff.
