I don't know about Oregon's legislature. But other legislatures sometimes have trouble getting any work done, even the easy work.

Most likely, they'd just resort to blanket renewing everything, in order to get to the real work, if it were a year that work was doable. And in years where there's no appetite for getting things done, it will probably take the whole session to get the renewals done.

Linux kernel maintainers remove code when convinced it is a good idea. Legislators remove code when convinced it is a good idea. Linux kernel code does not expire. Laws should not expire if the analogy is great.
I guess you're right. We should throw the baby out with the bathwater because a bank hired a crappy engineer. There is no other solution to this problem.
Similar. Englewood, Colorado. 5-10 minute walk from the grocery store, barber, bar, several good restaurants, and the theater. Really can't complain, why aren't more places like this?
I find it sad, but not weird, at least, not if weird means "unexpected". Sidewalks cost money, and urban sprawl is full of the kinds of cost-cutting decisions that cause long-term problems but look good on short-term accounting spreadsheets.
Side shows in the Bay Area are incredibly common now and sometimes, in the middle of the night, go on for an hour or more. In the summer, I can hear them miles away, due to the still air and open windows. It's nuts. And, when I drive around town, you can see the tire tracks in the middle of intersections, marking where the side shows were. Dozens of places in the areas I drive, which isn't far or often.

I remember having an issue with a Nexus that I had a while back. I had a hard time getting the screen to turn on and stay on. Turns out, I had misapplied the screen protector and the proximity sensor was thinking that it was in a situation which it shouldn't turn on.

While it was my own doing, I can see many people having that problem to the point where Android turned off the functionality. Multiple support calls, requests to return "defective" phones, etc.

But yeah, I currently have the same issue. If my current Pixel 3a is in my slightly damp pocket, it will have tried to "monkey touching" as the post above called it.
> I don’t agree. “Sensitive men” are acutely aware of the behavior of “toxic masculinity men”. It’s not a behavior that exclusively affects women. It affects everyone.

I agree with this, and I'm not sure on which point you disagree.

My point was that the broader cultural anti-male rhetoric that arose as an (understandable) response to toxic masculinity tends to have the least impact on the worst perpetrators, and the most negative impact on those who are not the problem to begin with.

And to your point, there are many layers involved here, and reducing this to just a spectrum of masculinity is not sufficient on its own. We need broader thinking.
I can't believe we are blaming this ENTIRELY on drivers... with people in the comments even claiming that the quality of drivers has gone done because work from home has put more poor people on the road.

Just look at the pedestrians you pass on your next drive. Count how many of them are looking at their phone while walking. I just did this and it was 4/10. I think Pedestrian behavior and awareness *might be a little different than it was 40 years ago as well.
> Perhaps this should be called "Text Rendering for Web Browsers Hates You" because often you have control over the fonts you use (like in a typical app)

The article specified an assumption that this is about laying out editable rich text, where the user using the program is able to arbitrarily style the text as part of using the program.

Like writing HTML+CSS for a web browser, yes; but also like WordPad, or like a cell in a spreadsheet program, or like the contents of a label field in a view builder. And also like changing text display preferences in a terminal emulator.
Having multiple options on the market is healthy.

The alternative is called monopoly and it's not good for consumers.

This varies by state, but since we're talking about Oregon, I can tell you that Oregon requires fuel vapor recovery at the pump. Makes the nozzle bulkier and harder to work with, but doesn't discharge a bunch of fumes.

They have 31% of the market, not even a third.

They’re not even in the same league as what MS was doing. At the time of the EU vs MS suit they had a 91% market share, and had only recently come down from a fraction over 95%

THAT is why the EU took action. Apple isn’t in a monopoly position in phones at all, they’re not even the dominant OS.

The cities have always been allowed to rebalance land allocation. This might provide a bit more push but I'm skeptical.
Yeesh that's a dystopian view of the world. Some of us like living in cities due to proximity to other humans, and amenities like running water and sewage systems with toilets that flush, and don't want to live like ancient humans in the wilderness.

Are roads/drivers actually worse? Or is this a heatmap of pedestrian frequency.
A proposal that I haven't seen discussed in other responses:

COVID lockdowns saw a rise in home delivery services. The drivers in this gig economy are financially incentivized to go fast. Lockdowns initially enabled them to go fast, and, once the expectation was in place, it's hard to roll back.

(just my opinion, I don't have data point to back it up, curious if anyone who participate as a delivery driver could confirm/deny).

Letting your kid or younger relatives use up your mobile data from your locked phone might not be a vulnerability but definitely isn't the expected behavior.
Assuming https://ourworldindata.org/land-use is reliable data, the world currently has about 1.5 million km^2 of built-up land usable for human dwelling. If we further assume it isn't a viable option to just remove even more of the land currently in use for things like farming, rainforests, and polar ice caps and what not, if we try to divide that land evenly among 8 billion humans, we get roughly 187.5 m^2 per person.

The problem is that is all built-up land, including commercial and industrial use and the roads themselves, including whatever small amount of urban greenspace might exist like parks, including schools and courthouses and everything else we need to just run human society. If we conservatively estimate this takes up maybe half of built-up land use, then we're down to more like 90 m^2 per person.

Let's assume a family of four, so now you get 360 m^2 or about 3875 ft^2. According to https://www.census.gov/construction/chars/sold.html, the average lot size of a single-family house in the US has gone from 18760 ft^2 in 1978 to 13896 ft^2 in 2020. We're talking now something like a quarter of current lot sizes if we wanted everyone to live in a single-family home.

So, as it stands, sure, live how you want, but don't forget that your ability to live the way you want is predicated upon the vast majority of humans on the planet living in much higher density, which you apparently consider to be not living like a human at all, in spite of it being the condition most humans find themselves in.

I don't think this does violate the spirit of "free as in freedom" GPL.

GPL is pretty straight forward - it sets out to give users of software the freedom to modify and run the software themselves. That's the spirit, and I think Red Hat.

It does violate the spirit of "free as in beer" "open source", however.
I have personally seen this happen, albeit to a young person from Oregon. Still, I suspect there are far more people that do little traveling in Oregon than y’all expect
As someone who's had to implement these things for our B2B SaaS, I will say it's been a lot less clear how to be as minimally innovative as possible when trying to weave in AuthZ into our product than it is to avoid innovation in something like IaC or CI/CD.

Everything related to AuthZ ends up being so specific to every other decision you make about your infra, and companies that offer solutions tend to charge an arm and a leg so it's not easy to experiment (let's not even talk about vendor lock-in risks).

I've found Cognito + CASL to be an... acceptable middle ground, as Cognito specifically "standardizes" the various OIDC/SAML/OAuth2 integrations such that I can rely on a certain structure within the JWT that apparently (based on this article) isn't consistent! And CASL I at least know how to insert into our infra, though I could see how it might not be the latest-and-greatest...

I just wish I had the time to dive into the theory more. It seems interesting, but it's such a "boring" and "solved" thing that spending time on it doesn't really move the needle when it comes to stuff like customer acquisition.
I totally agree, although I think it's even worse than that.

In my opinion, a precondition for creativity and inventiveness is understanding. If you rely on a surrogate to give you answers, you will never reach the level of proficiency required to come up with something new. If we train a generation of thinkers to rely on an external brain to get anything done, they will only understand things superficially, and our ability to innovate at the society level will suffer.
The Stirling's approximation is a good way to implement an accurate gamma function approximation on PC/calculators/..., but it's just a formula to implement, it doesn't necessarily mean you think about fun facts like this while implementing it...

What is the general sentiment of the comments on the current top hacker news story?

--

The general sentiment of the comments on the current top Hacker News story titled "Google has a secret browser hidden inside the settings" is a mix of curiosity, concern, and reminiscence. Some users are intrigued by the technical details and investigation mentioned in one comment. Others express concerns about the potential security risks and the implications for parental or school controls. Some users reminisce about similar workarounds in the past or share their own experiences with bypassing restrictions. Overall, the sentiment seems to be a combination of interest, worry, and nostalgia

No, you're just not paying them enough to do this job.

Yes it was a "clone", but it was "downstream". In fact Alma themselves just a couple days ago in their post pointed out the CentOS Stream is "upstream" while Alma is "downstream" of RHEL. CentOS always lagged RHEL by a little bit of time. Big security things it was usually days, but other times could be weeks or even months on new minor version increases. The only way for it be just a clone would be to near-instant rebuild, which has never been the case.
Just a few moments ago, two pedestrians just jumped out in middle of a four-lane residential street that has no crosswalk for at least 400yd in either direction from behind a hedgerow. Didn't see it but lucky i was traveling 10 below speed limit (in a 40mph speed limit)

My "S"pecially "H"igh "I"ntensity "T"ooter emitted a 142 dB sound and the glee of watching both pedies startled and scurrying faster across the street barely brought a small measure of satisfaction.

But it is a sobering reminder that i need to get a dashcam because one of these days, I may not be able to have the response time to press the bullhorn (or worse, to brake) in a timely manner for a later court trial is not going to be a pleasant thing to go thru, death or not.

Was just quoting the author. But also it appears that Apple disagrees with you, since they seem to have turned off sub pixel AA five years ago in macOS Mojave. See [1]. Indeed when I screen-captured and scaled up the non-western script in the article, there was no sub pixel AA on my Mac.

ORS 811.315 Failure of slow driver to drive on right

A person commits the offense of failure of a slow driver to drive on the right if the person is operating a vehicle upon a roadway at less than the normal speed of traffic at the time and place and under the conditions then existing and the person fails to drive:

---

So, when does this law expire and need to be renewed? If it was to expire and needed to be renewed, would it get a meaningful review as part of the renewal process?

How long would it take to go through https://oregon.public.law/statutes/ors_chapter_811 to renew each one? ... and then going up one level https://oregon.public.law/statutes/ors_title_59

If some individuals were protesting big government and refused to show up to establish quorum in a timely manner, would that result in there being no laws for the road? ... and would that be seen as a good thing?

Thank you for your kind words and the great question!

To your compliment: I agree ayb can help with easier prototyping today.

To your concern: I would not use ayb in a production setting today. To be explicit, while the roadmap [1] is long, I think that ayb will be useful in production once we've implemented a v1 of auth, permissions, persistence beyond the node, and isolation.

To "how to prevent that," here's a rough outline that I'm open to feedback on:

- Implement the v1 features above

- Host a public instance (and encourage others to, not trying to empire-build)

- Build some fun applications on top of the public instance myself to stress test it

- Encourage others to do the same and/or run some "learn SQL" classes to better understand where beginners get stuck and address those issues

Thank you again for your interest! Please share any feedback!

No, you’re right. There’s just a crowd of people that go “Rust is more complex than C and C++ is more complex than C therefore Rust is more like C++ than C.”

Yet tons of people (like myself) who have preferred C to C++ still like Rust more. Categorization just isn’t that simple.
> Marking a measuring stick out to 32nds is relatively easy to do.

The measuring stick follows the numeral system, not the other way around. And while base 2 has had some historical success, it wasn't much compared to 10, 20, 60, or 12.

> Marking it down to tenths or hundredths is surprisingly hard.

There's decimal rulers from the indus valley civilisation, it clearly was not sufficiently hard.

> Is why I picked that example, and nothing more.

From what you're saying you apparently pick that example every time and it goes wrong every time, for completely obvious reasons. Maybe you should consider changing example?

> I am curious on what the argument for 10 is in scientific notation that isn't path dependent on us using decimal?

Why would there be? We use base 10 numerals, our notation is base 10, therefore a convenient, natural, and uniform system of units would be in base 10.

Base 2 is of little help outside of length, and it's hardly critical there either.

> Or are folks just reading a criticism of metric in my post?

Well yes, 2 out of 3 paragraphs are about imperial and metric and your comment is at best tangential to the one it replies to.

Japan’s Storied Automakers Are Getting Crushed on EVs. What Happened?
My anecdote is remarkably similar. I worked from home for a couple months, then had to mask up for a couple of service calls on essential production lines... There was a massive step function between late February in 2020 and May 2020 on the roads from Michigan to Indiana and back. Coworkers and customers who told me they used to go 79mph in the left lane (because it was unlikely to earn a cheap 2-point ticket instead of 81+ which was a more probable and more expensive 4-point ticket) but now bragged about driving 90+ or hitting "triple digits". It was kind of like talking to a religious fundamentalist who can't understand how unbelievers restrain themselves without the Ten Commandments and threat of torture in the afterlife providing consequences for theft, murder, and adultery. I've never gotten a ticket and had no idea what the penalties were, the legal consequences were never a part of my reason for not driving unsafely.

Speed limits and traffic enforcement had been fully suspended, and people drove however they wanted to. It also felt like there was some griping about being part of the unlucky few who had to risk their lives for the sake of those who got to stay home in safety and comfort with all their necessities delivered.

My brother-in-law's laughing response to my description of my service call drive is etched in my memory. He'd been massively busy delivering pizzas, and after hearing about how I'd had my doors blown off, he said "Welcome to the apocalypse, we drive fast now!"
