Glad to see redhat go down the shitter. I was never a fan, but that's not the reason to hate on redhat. Everything is behind a paywall or a license. They just seemed like another Microsoft, especially when they started licensing Linux on at a per CPU core level. I think the only thing going for it is their support, but in my 20 years in the industry I've only ever used vendor support like once or twice, I've usually overcome obstacles on my own. At a previous workplace we had Ubuntu without licensing or support. The company tried to make us switch our infrastructure to redhat because they wanted indemnification. So we instead purchased Ubuntu support/licensing and again - never once did we use it or need it. Virtually everything we built we figured out ourselves. So when it comes to vendor support, I usually don't give a shit.
Is zoning regulation as a concept really the root cause, though? Houston famously has no zoning code and is fairly lax with land use generally (although it isn't completely the Wild West), and it isn't very dense. It seems like zoning could even be a key part of the solution, being a tool that could be used to mandate that new construction be more dense around mass transit hubs, for instance. There are lots of anti-density zoning regulations that should be reformed, it's true, but throwing the whole thing out seems like overkill to me.
Yes they do now, in my State, until I think 30 or 40 years ago, pickups had to register as commercial and had to follow laws specific to them and pay more taxes. Some lows restricts commercial vehicles from many roads. I suspect it was a move by Reagan when he deregulated the trucking industry.

I think if a vehicle meet specific weight and size criteria, it needs to pay more and have restrictions. These new big pickups and SUVs fully meet that criteria.

>The majority of roads are too wide

Actually in my state it is the opposite. Most roads are way too narrow. When two large pickups are driving at each other, one needs to pull over.
It is incomplete however. For example, there was a long-running lawsuit against VMware that was never resolved. [1] Was sort of an odd case and pretty much no one else in the industry wanted to go near it.

I've heard of something called sunset clause which can be included in laws that make them expire if some condition is (not) met.

For example, if the goal of the law is to lower incidence of crime X and if crime X has not decreased by 10% by Jan 1st, 2026 the law automatically is voided.

Personally, I’m a careful no-phones driver and an equally careful pedestrian especially in high density environments. But I’ve lost count of the number of pedestrians who are waiting at an intersection, and lose situational awareness while looking down at their phones and based on some incorrect cue in their peripheral vision step out into traffic. (Is that the most common scenario where a car injures a pedestrian? No; but it’s an empirical observation.)

I suspect your downvotes are coming from readers who interpret it as some kind of victim-blaming because of the asymmetry in forces involved. Let’s just acknowledge this is a multifactorial problem and that there are going to be interventions from both the pedestrian and driver perspectives that keep people safe.
Redox OS elects its first Board of Directors
I'm done with everything related to Redhat after Redhat8(no it's not RHEL 8, it's their non-enterprise distro before it's ditched and Fedora was invented as far as I can recall), yes it's about two decades ago.

I since switched to Debian ecosystem, and never looked back. I was pissed off enough to never use any rpm-based distro ever since.
I have always assumed 'GNU' pass is more of a colloquial term - possibly because 'pass' rarely results in meaningful results when searching the web, as does 'passwordstore' (although at least it does point to the actual repository. I seem to recall a few years ago googling 'password store' would not even return that on the first page).

As far as I am aware there is zero relation to GNU projects, aside from pass requiring GPG. I believe the author of pass is the same fellow who wrote wireguard.

Maybe they will think harder about how to achieve the same level of service with less and better laws then.
Seriously. The POS walks you through each step. There's a button to call an attendant for help, if you don't want to walk inside and ask how to pump your gas. Or you could stand there and watch other customers do it.

I'm having a memory of trying to pump the gas for my dad when I was a kid. I got confused about what to do, so after completely filling up, I ended up swiping the credit card again after finishing the purchase, leaving the machine open to being charged again. My dad stood there and yelled at me, and the whole time I thought, I don't know what I did, so when he's done yelling I'll just gonna go ask the attendant.
Text rendering doesn't hate you as much as article implies, AFAICT.

1. "Retina displays really don’t need [subpixel AA]" So eventually that hack will be needed less often. Apple has already disabled subpixel AA on macOS AFAICT.

2. Style changes mid-ligature: "I’m not aware of any super-reasonable cases where this happens." So that doesn't matter.

3. Shaping is farmed out to another library (Harfbuzz)

4. "Oh also, what does it mean to italicize or bold an emoji? Should you ignore those styles? Should you synthesize them? Who knows." ... yes, you should ignore those styles.

5. "some fonts don’t provide [bold, italic] stylings, and so you need a simple algorithmic way to do those effects." Perhaps this should be called "Text Rendering for Web Browsers Hates You." TextEdit on macOS simply doesn't allow you to italicize a font that doesn't have that style. Pages does nothing. Affinity won't allow it.

6. Mixing RTL and LTR in the same selection also seems like a browser problem, but I guess it could maybe happen elsewhere.

7. "Firefox and Chrome don’t do [perfect rendering with transparency] because it’s expensive and usually unnecessary for the major western languages." Reasonable choice on their part. Translucent text is just a bad idea.

Probably could go on. It's a good discussion of the edge cases if you really need to support everything, I suppose.
From TFA:

> The funny thing is, Android 12 — and this easy emergency call feature — came out a year and a half ago. [...] the feature is only now hitting enough people to become a national problem. Google's Pixel devices get new Android updates immediately, but everyone else can take months or years to get new versions of Android [...]. When this landed on Pixel devices in 2021, it was immediately flagged as a problem by some people, with one Reddit post calling it "dangerous." Since then, there has been a steady stream of posts warning people about it.

It objectively has been a problem, and was a known issue, with Reddit posts warning others. There just weren't enough Pixels to cause this latest tsunami. That year-and-a-half delay from Samsung rolling out Android 12 was meant to be for testing - which apparently didn't catch everything.
I'd be interested in whether the power source is a SPOF.
Among gorillas and baboons, species in which males fight for reproductive opportunities feature males twice as big as females, while among pair- bonded gibbons that fight much less, males are just 10 percent bigger than females.

As I understand it men have greater strength because they are optimized to fight other men for reproductive opportunity. This doesn't increase their opportunities for survival since fighting other men can get you killed. It increases their opportunities to reproduce.

Our advantages in a hostile environmental come from building tools not physical strength. If physical strength was important a male human would not be 5 times weaker than a gorilla.

So no, I would not say men are "designed" to survive on an island better than women, or whatever. They are designed to fight other men in a zero sum game.

I do use adblockers, so much so that I basically only use android because of all the system-wide adblocking capabilities, including youtube ads.

I occasionally switch off adblockers to see what the rest of the world sees. Within seconds I am shocked every single time. Some sites I use are unusable without adblockers. The youtube experience is attrocious without adblockers. Amazon products are impossible to find without being flooded with sponsored products. Google results are ads until pages later.

Its like a whole other internet. I cannot imagine how small of a portion of the internet I'd need to use if I could not use adblockers.

Less congestion means vehicles can reach higher speeds which means more fatal accidents.

Congestion generally works to keep vehicle speeds slower and therefore safer.
Not OP, but: stable, with up-to-date packages. Configuration and maintenance does not change drastically between versions (there's a paper manual, it's on its second revision).

Maybe this is a Protestant or a reformed thing? Yes, the devil is a temptor, but pretty much every sect agrees that there is no way for man to redeem himself but through faith. It is our nature to sin, and thus we are perfectly capable of it without the devil's help.
Walking and texting isn't dangerous on its own. A person bumping into someone because of texting, while annoying, has close to 0 ability to cause serious harm when compared to drivers doing the same.

I think the downvotes come from the fact that this argument is used as a relatively dumb anti-pedestrian rant in a lot of places. Frequently the pedestrian is "stepping into the road" where they have right of way (which in a lot of cities is any uncontrolled/unlighted intersection, regardless of whether a crosswalk is painted), and the car driver is loathe to admit that they didn't want to stop or didn't know that the pedestrian has right of way.

As a pro-cycling and pro-pedestrian person, my feeling is that walking and texting is just a red-herring complaint that is not the cause of any sort of serious problems. Putting it into the same bucket as distracted driving, which is VERY dangerous, and has a death toll attached feels disingenuous. Its like comparing a scraped knee to cancer. One of those is a serious problem killing lots of people, one of them is not. Even though both should be treated medically, we shouldn't be talking about them in the same context.
Congratulations to all involved!!

I’d be interested to see if there is any breakdown in these statistics between the types of vehicles involved (truck vs car vs SUV) and the number of fatalities per mile driven. Road safety seems like it’s just not an issue that captures much public attention. People seem to care in theory, but get mad every time someone actually wants to do something to make somewhere safer (like introducing traffic calming hardware).

"Full service" used to mean checking oil and air and other driving essentials during stops. Oregon passed legislation intending to stop the death of "full service" stations but failed to meaningfully define The level of service.

The only excuse for the law being around so long was that it created jobs. Which was lame reasoning. They intentionally kept the gas tax lower in the state so consumers didn't notice the price difference. So effectively these were government subsidized jobs.

Good riddance. Forcing someone to stand in gas fumes all day was clearly not good for their health. And I always avoided filling up in Oregon because waiting for the "service" could sometimes be longer than the fill-up itself.
If you have some static scene in Euclidean geometry, you can possibly also have a static scene in hyperbolic geometry which looks the same*. But the parallax effects when you move would be different, and also that hyperbolic scene likely would not be natural for hyperbolic geometry (as you say, you would have to make the distant objects larger; if you approach them, you learn that they are in fact large, while the objects close to your original POV are tiny).

* depending on what you mean by "looks the same". How do you perceive depth? In a natural model of depth perception based on binocular vision or parallax, the hyperbolic space looks like a bounded ellipsoid (more precisely, stretched Beltrami-Klein model), so it could not look like an infinite Euclidean scene.
I think his point is that the graveyard is full of people who had the right of way. I don't think he's victim blaming, only saying that following the rules is not enough, you have to make sure everyone else is following and react proactively if they are not. Using your phone around heavy machinery like automobiles is simply not enough, even if the pedestrian crossing light is green. You can say this is wrong and unfair and horrible, etc... but ignoring it is not going to help you.
And sometimes the English ones are better! And I say it as a French who grew up on Asterix. In my opinion, the original names are good, but not great, and the translators did an outstanding job.

For example, the original French name for Dogmatix is Idéfix, which conveys the same idea, but without the "dog" pun.

Yeah that is a weird one because no one is going to get ticketed for going the speed limit or 5 over in the passing/leftmost lane and technically they are doing nothing wrong. It just makes driving more difficult for everyone else.

The rightmost lane is somewhat similar. You really shouldnt travel in it. It's for getting on and off the road. If you are in it you're making it harder for other to merge on/off the road. But again you're not going to get a ticket for pulling into that right lane and staying as long as you'd like.

Some people are actually not even aware of these, "rules". I had a friend who at 25 still drove in the right lane all the time and would get mad when people were always slowing down to get off the highway.

How do we pass on this knowledge that, while fairly important, is not actually law?
It was already conditionally legal in rural parts of the state since 2017.

> Oregon drivers that would prefer to save time by simply pulling up to an empty pump rather than waiting in line for a forced full-service pump.

Anecdata n=1, but this hasn't been the problem, at least in east Portland. The article describes stations where "half the pumps" are closed because they can't staff, but as a daily driver for 10 years and especially since 2021 I haven't seen a pump closed due to staffing — the one or two attendants for the pumps just take longer to get to everyone. Go to smaller stations with 4-8 pumps and it usually moves faster.

The more pertinent shift I've seen is shorter operating hours, which is the biggest benefit of allowing self-service. Having self-service pumps means stations can more feasibly open earlier and stay open later, especially those already attached to convenience stores that are already staffed.

Also this is going to be great for out-of-staters already familiar with pumping gas, but based on road-trip experience there are some native/lifelong urban Oregonians who have no fucking idea what do at or with a gas pump.
In California, pickups are still registered as commercial vehicles. This comes as a surprise to some first-time truck buyers.

The new Rivian R1T is registered commercial and weighs over 3 tons, bringing further restrictions as to the places and times it can be driven or parked. Again, surprising some buyers.
Also a runner here - over the years I've lived in a handful of towns, and the wealthier the town, the more likely people are to just totally blow stop signs without checking. (And they get mad if they almost hit you)
>In every species female is the selector, that's how natural selection works.

Maybe that is true if you are only talking about mammals. But it is certainly not true in general.

Here is an example directly from Wikipedia:

"In the size dimorphic wolf spider Tigrosa helluo, food-limited females cannibalize more frequently. Therefore, there is a high risk of low fitness for males due to pre-copulatory cannibalism, which led to male selection of larger females for two reasons: higher fecundity and lower rates of cannibalism."[0]

This means that in this species of spider is the male who applies the selective pressure.

You can look into sexual monomorphism/dimorphism to find more examples.

It's hard to see this appeal going anywhere. The app store guidelines even explicitly mention this use case as one that requires in-app purchases to be used.

> Apps may use in-app purchase currencies to enable customers to “tip” the developer or digital content providers in the app.

Apple lists the limited scenarios where alternative purchase methods can be used and this one is not included. Since they mention it in the guidelines it's clearly something they are aware of.

You may disagree with Apple's policy, but bigger companies have fought this battle and lost. Intentionally (or unintentionally) misreading the guidelines isn't going to hold water on appeal.
Diesel's fine though.
Thank you! While it's not in my immediate plans, I'm definitely intrigued and open to learning more about it, especially if the platform keeps growing.
People talk about how pre-IBM RedHat was somehow a good player. Perhaps that is true on the Linux side, where there were more eyes. Outside of Linux, I can say they were definitely toxic after acquiring JBoss, locking down previously open-sourced features, shipping bugs that could only be fixed if you had access to the enterprise contract, deleting content from the Wiki that they wanted behind the paywall of the enterprise contract. Even if some of that started pre-acquisition, it certainly accelerated post.

It's amazing to me that anyone upstream would lift a finger for RedHat at this point.
Enforcement is not the solution because it requires constant vigilance. Road design is because you can build the road in a way that brings about the speed/safety envelope you desire, and then it always works correctly whether anyone is monitoring it or not.

Hmm... I would probably have said "debugging", as that's when you have to deal with coding errors, misunderstandings, ... The design process is critical, but it has always been a flexible, analog process for me. Coding, mostly, is typing - it's the "ok, now we start" aspect of the initial tests and runs that take time and effort.

And if you're not quite sure of where you're going, the code will get worse and the debugging will get longer.
