I don't think the cost is the biggest driver of tension unless you listen to professional drivers. People don’t blame bus riders for not "paying the road tax" (a UK trope, that tax was abolished). It would explain why things got worst recently, but people don’t hate electric cars the same way for instance.

The most common angle of attack is territorial: "get off _my_ road". Cyclists shouldn’t belong there, because of the shape of the vehicle, and how it goes at different speeds (faster in traffic, slower on the free road). The hostility is shared with Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTN), car-free side roads converted into cul-de-sacs. Those remind cars that they are not welcome. “Invisible” bicycles match the repeated trope that cyclists run red lights (in practice, they cross with pedestrian lights at three-phase lights, when it’s safe): the behaviour on the road is different, and forces car drivers to get out of their automated reflexes, and do things they should, but never do: check their mirrors, look back in the blind side, check before opening their door. Forcing drivers outside of the mental comfort of habit-driving is what is causing so much pain and anguish.

It’s also why drivers in countries where cyclists are common don’t have the same issue: they are used to bikes and drive habitually with cyclists in mind.

That matches the biggest issue cyclists point at drivers: using their mobile phones. You can’t drive and use a phone unless you are in a fully reflex-based flow. If those reflexes don’t expect a bike passing you, it yanks you out of your flow, which is physically painful. That explains the explosive and murderous reactions from drivers.

Maybe Termux can learn to code against Java APIs instead of forcing themselves through the Linux layer that is considered a private API on Android.
I used quotation marks on purpose, it is of course networked, but would be using different credentials to other systems and have a ingest-only API endpoint to issue mails with.
Svelte does things in a fundamentally different way than existing frameworks. It is very lightweight, both in the code size sent to the user and in terms of runtime computation, entirely ditching the VDOM by doing more at compilation time, requiring less resources, less powerful devices for a better result (because less janky). It is also quite intuitive for the developer. I'd like to see it spread or at least these ideas adopted elsewhere. We need a lighter web and Svelte could be part of the answer to this.

It's also not exactly new, from 2016.

I hear you about the JS frontend framework and tooling churn, but Svelte actually brings something new and valuable.
The vast majority of roads do not have separate cycle lanes - this is obviously not a good-faith argument.
If drivers overtook cyclists for the cyclists' safety you'd expect them to tailgate cyclists much less often. Literally nobody keeps the necessary distance to the car/cyclists in front of them in city traffic. That's why rear-end collisions are so frequent. Between two cars at city speeds that not really dangerous. When a cyclists falls in front of a car it's fatal.
I don't think many people agree that that's likely to happen. It's more that it can function as an excuse for the absence of an intact hymen.

The soccer mom comment is a bit insensitive, but I meant to imply that the person operating their vehicle isn't paying attention to driving much.

As for the cycling enthusiast remark, if you're cycling on mountain roads for the purpose of recreation, I think it's fair to say that you'd be interested in cycling more than most other people. I might be very wrong. I don't have anything against cyclists, I am one myself. And yes, I will call people hill-walking enthusiasts if they enjoy hill walking. I will also call some people driving enthusiasts, if they enjoy the act of driving. These are distinct groups of people for whom these labels seem justified. Don't take this the wrong way but it might be you who's assigning some moral value to the use of these labels, my intention was to use them in a more matter-of-fact kind of a way.

> There's no law forcing the bike to "let you overtake it" - the only relevant law AFAIK is that the bike has to drive near the right side (except for intersections where they turn left). But so do anybody else, including cars - it has nothing to do with speed.

Yes there is. In the UK, as per the latest changes to the highway code, slower traffic should let faster traffic pass, when possible to do so in a safe manner. I was certain it was the same in California, but I cannot find any source claiming this just now - however, there are plenty of signs saying that slower traffic should use turnouts to let others pass.

> There's law about that, and you won't like it :) If a bike is driving on a road and you're behind it and forced to slow down because of that - you can overtake the bike only if you have at least 1 meter of safety margin. If the road is too narrow to do that or there's a continuous line or overtaking ban sign - you are required by law to slow down and drive behind the bike waiting for a safer place to overtake that bike.

I take no issue with such a law - if it's not safe to pass, then there's nothing one can do. I think it's pretty obvious that safety always comes first. However, given a situation where there's 5 or more cars behind me when I'm cycling, I'll be aware of this and I will stop whenever possible to let them pass if they are able to go faster than I am on my bike. This is not difficult to do, and I'd much prefer the 2 tonnes of metal that's powered by paleolithic compost and not rarely operated by someone looking at their phone were in front of me rather than behind me.
> I know this is difficult to understand how it works

Consider not being rude next time. Flagged.
My personal opinion is that it's unethical (and possibly illegal, in a subset of cases) to train models on data without explicit consent of the creators of that data. And that really encompasses all data - generative models were not a thing when said data was created and no matter how it was licensed before, explicit consent about using it for model training must be obtained from the creators themselves.

That being said, arguments about copyright are just a fig leaf as far as I am concerned. The outcome of whether this is allowed or not will depend on the net impact of using those models on the job market and whether society will be willing to tolerate it.
sometimes people will post stock images on sites with user generated content.
if their training data included images scraped from those sites, then it could have gotten in that way unintentionally
> And yet online services blocking access to non-SecureBoot devices is already the norm for industries ranging from online gaming[0] to fast food![1]

Specific online services doing so is very different from a general ISP ban. A general ISP ban is impossible as long as you have an IO channel of any kind, including projection of text or playing sound. See the end of this comment. SecureBoot in itself also does not in any sense stop general purpose computing of unsigned code.

> Software development would have to be sponsored by approved companies, or at the very least you'd need to apply to the government for a "licence to code", with your ID number baked into every app you create.

... and you've just kneecapped your software industry in favour of companies outside of said authoritarian hellhole. Won't happen. The EU has a long history of crazy demand like this being proposed, and they end up dying or getting watered down to nothing because there's nowhere near sufficient support for going as far as you suggest.

> But which app are you going to use to create those sound or image files? I suppose you could create your "illegal" files on an airgapped non-approved device, and transfer them via USB to the approved device,

Missing the point. If you can play and record sound on an approved device, for example in a call, or transfer text, no matter how filtered, you can use that as a channel for an non-approved device. We used to use heavily filtered low-fidelity audio channels to transfer data, via acoustically coupled modems, after all. Any attempt to filter this just reduces to making it seem more plausibly like acceptable material, e.g. encoding it in speech for example. This is not even a hard problem, though data rates would be low. If a channel can transfer language, it can transfer data.

But we're talking a regime more oppressive than China for this to even be relevant. Even in China today, "normal" VPN tech is sufficient, though a hassle.
All of those require a thorough WTF, but "gun violence" is special. What could possibly be the connection?
The reason for all the hype around Svelte is exactly because it reinvents the wheel. (Rust also does this.) It proves that it's possible to create a web application framework that outperforms a Virtual DOM (VDOM), and does this by giving you one.

Usually, you do minimal transpilation when you create, say, a React app - limited to converting JSX to React.createElement calls, plus bundling and tree shaking (if possible). That means all of the work needs to be done at runtime, and React needs to keep track of a VDOM, where any changes can be made at any time, and there needs to be generic runtime infrastructure in place to handle that (diffing and reconciliation).

Additionally, each render completely reconstructs its slice of the VDOM, just to be diffed, leading to many wasted objects and CPU cycles even if nothing's changed.

Svelte is a different approach which sees the inefficiency in that and tries to implement an alternative. Sure, it's "new and shiny" (even though it's been over 6 years since 1.0), but it has some real benefits!

Svelte works by rewriting your code to make changes directly to the DOM, rather than going through a VDOM, and it does this by keeping track of all the possible changes at compile-time (along with things like event listeners and reactive state and so on) and hard-coding them in.

So instead of getting a generic runtime framework that has to run everything through a VDOM, you get something a bit more similar to what you would have if you wrote the whole thing by hand using vanilla JS with no framework at all.

Svelte has an article on the subject - I'd recommend checking it out: https://svelte.dev/blog/virtual-dom-is-pure-overhead

(Although I do think it's fad-like that Svelte is plastering their site with protest messages, that doesn't mean the technology isn't impressive!)

In practice, Rust seems to be much safer. I've seen Jarred talking about segfaults in Bun. Those are practically unheard of in Rust programs, and indicative of the possibility of quite serious security vulnerabilities.

Yes, because there is an extradition treaty with Canada. The problem seems to me the unequal application of the law, since there are many companies that did the same and were not prosecuted.

Yesterday I was at the four way stop in the parking lot next to the corner of the Costco building in Mountain View, after coming down the driveway from Rengstorff. As usual, many people were crossing the far side of that intersection as they left Costco, and of course I waited for them.

After I'd been there 30 seconds or so, a big SUV pulled up to the stop sign on my left. He was wanting to make a left turn toward Total Wine. Obviously, I had the right of way over him, and the pedestrians pushing their grocery carts out of Costco had the right of way over both of us.

After another 30 seconds, the SUV driver had had enough. He barreled through his left turn as shoppers were still crossing the driveway, barely missing one of them by a foot or two.
It's worth noting that most of Node's API are written in JavaScript, and often not particularly optimised JavaScript (sometimes constrained by API compatibility). I think bun is taking the approach of implementing a lot of core APIs in zig.
Reminds me of the discussion about GitHub Copilot using the entirety of GitHub as training data. I was honestly baffled how many people, even experts in the field, saw use as training data as non-infringing. With the corrolay that it's apparently perfectly legal to "copyright-wash" a work by feeding it to an AI and have that AI generate a slightly different but extremely similar work.

Considering how strict and heavy-handed copyright handling has been otherwise, this has added to my belief that copyright in practice is really just enforcement of the interests of whatever industry has the most power at a given time: When entertainment and content generation was the biggest revenue generator, copyright couldn't be strict enough, now all money is on AI and suddenly loopholes the size of barn doors pop up.

It's actually through the local governments, many of which are Labour yet have the same issue.

Root cause: the law says to raise local taxes beyond a certain amount councils must hold a referendum. They systematically refuse to do this because they know they will lose.

Voters by and large think local councils are wasteful and don't really need more money. There's also another issue: some local councils especially in the North have a history of deliberately cutting front line services whilst e.g. expanding the central bureaucracy, because they know they can blame the Tories for not giving them "enough" money and the voters will fall for it. The councils could raise taxes, or rebalance spending, but that wouldn't energize their base.

Yes, when you once lived in a city in The Netherlands you never want to go back into any other country, where are cars are used as main transportation inside cities.

Everybody cycles here and it feels very safe to do it, however the infrastructure is the most important part. Cars are second class citizens most of the time and people driving them know this.
Is it safe to reset the password when there is so much instability with server errors and so on? Do we know that the door has been closed on the intrusion and the hack patched?

A delete account option would be nice in this case. I'd rather just have my data deleted even if it has already been compromised just to tie off this loose end.

There is no such thing as illegally crossing a road in the UK. Green light, red light, no light; it doesn't matter, they're just advisory. You have the perfect right to cross whenever and wherever you feel like it. If it causes an accident I believe you can be liable, but ultimately it's just common sense and your own self-preservation instinct that governs your behaviour, not the law. I believe the only exception is on a motorway.
Plex doesn't require account linking IIRC, it's heavily suggested but you can just access Plex locally without an account.[1]

But otherwise I've switched to Infuse[2] since then, it indexes sources reliably on its own (no manual editing though) and saves the entire need for a server if you use it with some cloud storage. Basically replaced my Plex server, with the added bonus of out-of-home streaming without needing high upload. The major disadvantage is that it's Apple-only.

You are right. The law mandates reasonable safeguards and one of them is encryption at rest/motion when deemed necessary by the covered entity (which is quite common in Healthcare).

From the HHS site:
https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/faq/2001/is-the-...

> Is the use of encryption mandatory in the Security Rule?

> Answer:

> No. The final Security Rule made the use of encryption an addressable implementation specification. See 45 CFR § 164.312(a)(2)(iv) and (e)(2)(ii). The encryption implementation specification is addressable, and must therefore be implemented if, after a risk assessment, the entity has determined that the specification is a reasonable and appropriate safeguard in its risk management of the confidentiality, integrity and availability of e-PHI. If the entity decides that the addressable implementation specification is not reasonable and appropriate, it must document that determination and implement an equivalent alternative measure, presuming that the alternative is reasonable and appropriate. If the standard can otherwise be met, the covered entity may choose to not implement the implementation specification or any equivalent alternative measure and document the rationale for this decision.
It's controversial because it is often more dangerous to drive on a bicycle lane, at least outside the Netherlands with its well designed bicycle lanes. There is a higher risk that car drivers will not see you when turning right at a crossing etc. In addition, you are exposed to car drivers or passengers who open the door without looking. On the road, with a safe distance to the right, you are annoying to cars but far more visible. For this reason, many bicycle enthusiasts have recommended people to ride on the road if there is no mandatory and well maintained bicycle lane.

At least that was the situation a few years ago when bicycle lanes were just narrow lanes directly next to the road or the sidewalk. As I wrote, it can work if done correctly (see the Netherlands). Perhaps the road planners and drivers have learned "their" lesson in the meantime. I say that as a car driver.
I had to use a bike (because I was broke)

That's a sad commentary on society in and of itself.
This is really not correct. I'd say in the most of Europe, you signal left, you take the entire lane and make your turn on the intersection. In many places there are even dedicated zones in front of left lanes (taking the entire width), so that it's obvious cyclists have the right to do so.

And the same thing on roundabouts, if you want to safely ride a roundabout you absolutely have to take the entire lane and not allow cars to overtake you. Otherwise cars exiting the roundabout will run over you.

I think the prevalence of this behaviour can be explained by the fact that in car centric infrastructure only people willing to take a fairly significant risk will be cycling in the first place. As a result you've selected for people willing to engage in risky behaviour towards themselves resulting in a fair few of them running red lights recklessly.

Couple this with the fact that the infrastructure was clearly not built with their safety in mind and it's no real surprise that many cyclists choose not to use it in the same way as cars.

Personally I think there's a good argument to be made for why, in many cases, it would be ok for a cyclist to carefully make their way through a junction at a red light. Although the real answer would be to build infrastructure that removes the incentive to behave that way.
For Eastern European: bikers can turn left at intersections, they must signal with their arm, position themselves to the left of the lane just as cars do, and drivers have to expect them. It’s being taught in driving schools, for heaven’s sake.

But just as you don’t signal and start your left turn in your car at the last moment, so you don’t with a bike. Unfortunately, we have bikers who go to a left turn from the rightmost position, don’t signal or signal when it’s useless. The rule for drivers is to expect and anticipate stupid people and not kill them.
In the UK, it's illegal for a motorist to cross a solid white center line on their side of the road to overtake a cyclist unless the cyclist is traveling 10mph or slower. I estimate less than 1% of motorists obey this law.
