> Still, despite a clear design defect and recognition by regulator agencies, no litigation is likely to occur.

I'm inclined to think it shouldn't. Cars are highly regulated. There are a great many very specific standards cars have to meet to be legal to sell for road use in most countries. There's stuff we all know about like crash testing for occupants, and more recently for pedestrians, but there's also weird stuff like cars not being allowed to have required lighting on movable bodywork in the US market[0].

I'd set a much higher bar for defective product claims when the design of the product is already subject to a great deal of specific regulation. Courts do not have expertise in car design and are probably worse at specifying design standards for cars than regulatory agencies staffed with experts and dedicated to that task. As you mention, there's a regulatory solution to the problem you're describing already in use in some countries.

In germany, the car industry is way more important and powerful then in the US and it was able to prevent the EU ban on combustion engines, and yet germany has more walkable cities then the US.
Maybe not the interesting, but the most recent— I was annoyed that Bloomberg’s email newsletters didn’t have an associated RSS feed, so I wrote a script that uses JMAP to take the most recent emails from them from my inbox and publish to an rss file. A docker container hosts that running on a cron job, and nginx to serve.

I run it on my NAS so my RSS reader can find it as long as I’m on VPN. Now I only need to visit NetNewsWire for all my news!
Based on how you're asking I assuming that "Radio station for the nation" is a quote from a movie or something, but searching for it reveals surprisingly little (and is surprisingly random - Google / Bing clearly has _no_ idea what I'm looking for :) )

Is this a quote / reference to something? If so, could you let us all in on what it's referring to?

"OrbStack is a drop-in replacement for Docker Desktop"

First thing I try is searching for container images to pull down to use in OrbStack to try it out... and nope, can't do that from what I can see.

"Switching from Docker Desktop is painless: just open OrbStack and get started."

So, no, not a drop-in replacement for Docker Desktop.

Then I look at CPU usage after closing down OrbStack, and it's still running at 265% CPU usage doing nothing.

Memory in Docker Desktop is customizable, with a default 8GB. No mention of them adjusting that in the benchmark.

I don't know... bunch of fishy stuff here that doesn't sit well with me. The "drop in replacement" part didn't sit well with me, but then seeing 265% CPU usage... let's just say it's not a good start in my book.

It is a public beta, so sure, things can improve.

Yep, hence my usage of NY when referring to the MTA. With regard to the bike network in NYC, many of these are vanity projects. Many of the “protected” crosstown bike lanes in Midtown for example, have about 4 feet of room. If someone in a car decides to fling their door open, you don’t have many options to avoid it. Many of the other bike lanes are not usable in substantial parts, such as Schermerhorn St in Brooklyn due to rampant illegal parking. All this is to say that NYC DOT is after a number measured by the number of miles of bike lane, not by cyclist safety. The only “Amsterdam style” bike lane we really, truly have in Manhattan is along the rivers which is way beyond overcrowded on weekends.

China automating mines to improve safety as coal output grows

It's kind of complicated. The old labels of right and left, conservative vs progressives, and socialist vs capitalists are clearly inadequate nowadays.

Class struggle based left has all but disappeared in the West. And whatever your point of view on American involvement in Ukraine, it is clear that at least the mainstream branches of both parties are largely in accord.

Trump's belligerence on China (justified or not, I am not discussing this) has not only been embraced by the Democrats and NeverТrumpers on the Republican side, but also has been extended far beyond pure economic war, flirting now with proper kinetic war.

Environmental issues, once a solid socialist banner, now have been enthusiastically embraced by Wall Street (I suspect, unfortunately, for not-so-noble reasons beyond banks salivating at the prospect of financing the green transition, and entrepreneurs dreaming about all the opportunities on rebuilding our infrastructure and replacing the entire automobile fleet. Not that is bad in itself, capitalism needs constant growth to be viable, and green rebuilding allows this to happen for a few more decades without utterly destroying our planet).

Civil rights also have been solidly co-opted by the oligarchic class. Both for reasons that the moral behavior and values of the elites are fairly advanced and they want to impose their values as the mainstream values down the throats of the more backward working class and because it is useful as it redirects energy from unionization and other forms of class struggle.

All of our labels and categories simply don't work to understand this complex scenario.
I'm in the UK and it's very noticeable how much nicer the German drivers have been when I've gone there (just Munich and Berlin). Most surprising was when drivers were wanting to pull out of a side street, but waited patiently for cyclists to go past without any hint of impatience or anger.

I want RTC. Say I capture some packets. I want a timestamp on it when I archive them. Because else I need to remember from when it was manually.

This is why I added a RTC to my RPi3 + battery pack + HackRF + Portapack. Anything the RPi3 does must have proper timestamps.
I spent a few months down in the country last year, and definitely encountered this. Drivers don't know how to react, so you tend to get reactions from given massive amounts of space (not that I'm complaining) to passing at breakneck speed.

Though there's other sides to it too, like the local youths who apparently find cycling inherently amusing and worth an attempt to intentionally run me off the road. It happens in other places too, there was an actual conviction last year because someone got recorded doing it at motorway speeds. I also learned last year that "rolling coal" or intentionally annoying cyclists with truck emissions is something in some parts of the US too.

On the plus side though, you can leave a bike just leaning against the outside of the store safely though, while an inadequate lock is grounds for getting your bike stolen in the city. I guess it's due to the lack of anonymity and places to sell stolen bikes out there. You will need to though, as there's nothing to lock the bike to outside the country store.

In an article discussing the nuance of language, and leveraging power imbalances for fun and profit, that's a nice way to sign off.

Anyway, my first proper introduction to really deeply considered word selection was during the 90's BBS era when someone organising a social event -- that was necessarily targeted at a bunch of (probably) socially inept people, myself included -- explained to me that they avoided any conventional phrasing like 'come and join us' as it instantly implied there's an 'us' that they weren't already a part of.

Such a small observation at the time, but had a big impact.
> I think the rented vacation home can cut the other way as well -- a friend may feel obligated to come because you spent the money already and expected a guest -- and if they can't come, they'll feel bad about it.

Yeah, that was my line of thinking. The invite itself isn’t awkward, sounds fun. But taking as it is without context, it suddenly becomes an obligation forced upon me.
I encourage you not to be embarrassed and to simply opensource it. To err is human; anyone giving you grief because of bugs doesn't deserve the effort you've put in. And opening it now could actually bring assistance in getting those bugs fixed, while simultaneously benefitting everyone who wants to do something similar but isn't sure where to start
I think you have to link it to more than one thing. Being able to write complex code in a performant way without being worried you've introduced another security bug in one of the most infamous subsystems for security is definitely a plus as it allows you to go after performance you might not otherwise have been able to go after in the alloted time/resources. At the same time, no two rewrites are the same and being able to look back and see how the current design performs and where it may be improved is also great insight into how to do it differently.

What I think this note bucks is the concept choosing a secure language to re-implement something in means performance overhead compared to C/C++ code that has had years or decades of work putting into it. It doesn't necessarily argue A or safe B is inherently faster, just that a safe B doesn't imply you should expect it to be safe and slower, just safe.
I work on games that are played on school Chromebooks and are om crazy games.

Honestly I think it's a bit sad that schools are so dependent on Chromebooks. I didn't have a Chromebook at school when I went. I think I'd learn worse on a Chromebook than a teacher.

We installed the halo free trial on our school computers and played blood gulch CTF in the computer lab all the time. It was awesome.

you're supposed to use the control endpoint to negotiate which data endpoints to set up in what way for communication and then communicate over those.

In the case of this barcode scanner all communication was done over the control endpoint though.

> > So just because the "th" sound doesn't exist in many languages, like German, they should pronounce "Heath Ledger" or "Anthony Hopkins" or "The Beatles" incorrectly?

> They're going to use the sounds that exist for them, yes.

That wasn't the question I asked. They will at least try to pronounce "Heath Ledger" or "Chopin" correctly, they won't act as if there was a correct German way to pronounce those names.
A good speculation. Among the conclusions is:

"In a certain sense, LLMs do not represent a groundbreaking change in terms of the capabilities of a well-funded intelligence agency. They merely lower the cost."

In a sense, this recapitulates the productivity pitch. They also point out the influence operations, although I am not sure whether such things will make any difference as the information space is already so crowded with garbage.

I just tried it with my JetBrains Rider setup where we develop against containers. Turned off Docker Desktop, started up Orbstack. All worked the same. Debugging/etc. Started up the docker containers without issue and don't see any CPU issues. I'm on a Mac M1 pro.
I'll keep trying it and see if it continues to work well in the long term.

I built a program in Go to defeat GeoIP lock-outs for my home network.

It runs on our home router and functions as the primary DNS server. If the record name matches a regex the DNS request is forwarded over a VPN to a DNS server in the target country. Any other requests are forwarded to my ISP’s DNS. If the response is a CNAME then the A record name is cached so that follow-up requests are also forwarded over the VPN.

Before returning the IPs in the foreign DNS response /32 routes for the IPs are added to send any home network traffic for them over the VPN.

This means that any client on our home network can transparently access GeoIP locked sites. It’s worked for around 8 years with no modifications.

Years back I was living in the foothills just outside of the Yosemite NP gates and fell in love with the trails through the Sierra Nevada. It wasn't long before I realized that how much weight I carried dramatically affected _everything_ about my trips - so I got serious about finding a good compromise between "ultralight" and "comfortable but still light".

The gear and testing it was very expensive, I wanted to make my own but didn't know how to sew - but quickly found the "cottage" industry of lightweight and ultralight backpacking gear and fell in love again. Now I loved the trail and the gear, but I was also broke.

One of my first non-visual basic programming projects was building a scraper for a handful of backpacking forums' used gear sections - I found that I was able to acquire and test the gear I wanted at a fraction of the cost this way, as well as find buyers for the gear I was ready to cycle out.

While I did build this for myself I eventually realized that there were so many good deals and people with good gear looking to offload it - but the forums and the communities were so fractured it made it hard for others (just like it did for me). I ended up building the whole thing (again) as my first foray into playing with Laravel.

I was one of the people who said that using AI detection is a bad idea on that last link.

I generally agree with your points, although in the takeout case, the host can probably communicate fairly clearly that they're going to order takeout (because they don't cook, don't want to bother with a caterer, etc.) and if anyone asks what they owe wave them off and that's that. Though, of course, if they did cook a meal no one would think of paying. (Though informal get-togethers with my friends tend to be pot luck to at least a degree.)

Of course, financial situations do matter. Some new grads scraping by in the expensive city are probably not going to operate the same way that generally well-off professionals where everyone knows that a group takeout order really isn't a big deal for the host.
I am in love with travelling, and one of my dreams is travelling with friends.

But my friends, not being from a 1st world country or having a high paying job, can't afford that.

I have tried on several occasions offering to pay for the trip, but unfortunately, like the article says, most people don't feel comfortable if you do that.

While it's an interesting question — I find myself musing on what it might mean for some thought to be literally un-thinkable for some specific human — I think most people have the opposite problem.

Then again, perhaps I'm projecting that assumption: https://www.lesswrong.com/tag/typical-mind-fallacy

The problem is when public transport doesn't match with the people's requirements.

If I were made world leader, I'd subsidise public transport so that it's more or less free to use for the public in an attempt to wean them away from private cars. It would then make sense to expand the network as more and more people choose to use it.
You are correct. I have personally offended a guest from Italy when I recently sprung to pay the bill before he got his card out. I thought it would be like a funny “ha ha - I got it” sort of moment, but instead it turned just a bit sour. Turned out he had his mind set on it as a way to express his gratitude, and me interrupting was kind of like taking that away from him. Well, I had my mind set on something similar, so we sort of had our wires crossed.
This is "surprise" because Microsoft announced it?

It has been possible to use Rust to write device drivers that run on Windows kernel space for years, already.

The Windows-rs crate (Microsoft's crate wrapping the Windows API) already has the WDK for a while (i.e.: the special sdk to interact with the kernel).

I welcome the news and agree it is important and meaningful but it is the kind of thing that was easy to see coming.

One thing I noticed was a course would always be 90% off unless I was logged in. Then the course would either a) not have the discount b) have the discount for a few hours and then mark itself up to the “full price”. Basically a way to try and reward immediate purchasing.

Another anecdote is one time I added a class with a 90% discount to my cart before logging in. Once I logged in the discount disappeared.

I stopped using them after their extreme DRM made it literally impossible for me to load videos. I received a refund for most of my courses but still had to do a chargeback for one.

I mean, it can definitely still look like bribery.

In business relationships we all know that inviting a potential client out to dinner, paid for by the vendor, creates at least the possible impression of impropriety unless the amount spent is relatively modest. Doing the same for, say, the government inspector from your industry’s regulatory body… looks even worse.

If the vendor has a sponsorship arrangement with a sports team that means they already have access to a corporate box, that doesn’t change the fact that the hospitality offer looks… dubious.

The nature of your ownership/rental of the assets involved has no bearing on this. The nature of how it affects your power relationship with the recipient is what matters.

The standard - especially when it comes to dealing with government employees - is ‘avoid even the appearance of impropriety’, right?

What I've learned with my in-laws is to stop worrying about it. Some people are going to be jealous/angry anytime you spend money.

For example, whenever we go to visit them we get a hotel or rent a car. Perfectly normal right? Well to some of my in-laws that's "Throwing money around and in our faces" Even though the alternative is sleeping on the floor in their home and begging them for rides.

And, I get it. They can't afford to grab a hotel and car like we can so it does look like a crazy luxury.

I'll grab tabs and pay for things, I don't really care. I never have. But I was somewhat surprised to find people just generally upset when I do things for myself.
