"So far a small number of women have been fined (€38 in Cannes - £33; $43) for wearing a burkini on the beach at Cannes."

What an awful place to live. I was commenting with a friend the other day who was claiming the old "food in Europe is better for you because they have more regulations". I countered that they also have the most regulations about all the ways a website has to harass you with absolutely Zero (0) legitimate justification, so why should we expect their food regulations to be any better founded? He seemed to find that line of reasoning well founded.
As an author of an old root for Android, and of a modern generic custom ROMs, and other Android OS stuff:

The title is, and forever will be wrong. When we say you're root in Android, you're actually root. You can actually do whatever you want [1]. Magisk (the now modern "root" for Android) now includes stuff to even "edit" Java code, so even if it's hidden deep somewhere, you should still be able to access it. (Even if somehow it moves from Java to native code, we'll still find ways, don't worry)

The fact that the author didn't manage to do it doesn't mean it's not possible. I could guess what's the author issue (I have two ideas in mind: 1. it requires stop;start to restart zygote, because zygote cached CAs, 2. it needs to switch to correct mount namespace before doing the commands), but I won't try it, I got tired of working on closed-source Android stuff.

> More investigation is required and it's hard to know the full implications of that now, but for the many forks of Android like GrapheneOS & LineageOS, and for advanced device configuration tools like Magisk and its many modules, it probably spells trouble.

I just don't understand this. GrapheneOS and LineageOS team have full source-code access. They can do whatever they please with it. (The limitation being that Google breaks stuff at an incredible rate, and following is a bit annoying)

Anyway, I hope that Android becoming more and more user-hostile (and more specifically in this case power-user-hostile) will move more and more people to custom ROMs. (In my dreams I make a "OwnerDroid", an Android fork where the security model doesn't have the first line saying "the user is an enemy", but even though I developed some tiny bricks of it, the overall project would take a huge amount of work)

[1] Except for some kernel-level protections, but GKI reduces that risk.

I agree. my experience is that hybrid search does provide better results in many cases, and is honestly not as easy to implement as may seem at first. In general, getting search right can be complicated today and the common thinking of "hey I'm going to put up a vector DB and use that" is simplistic.

The headline itself is bogus, saying "typically", where the real number is a couple dozen out of hundreds of thousands.
The language has stagnated in many areas. Meat is flesh.

Maybe we can call vegetable products that try to emulate meat: veat, in English anyway. There's probably already a term that has fallen out of common usage, maybe we can look it up.
I’m still hoping to see keyboard designs that adjust for the size of the user’s hand and length of their individual fingers.

Example: As noted in the post, some people have a longer middle finger while some have a longer ring finger. The “wingspan” can also vary wildly especially with the wide varieties of height.
I think a lot of the economy/stock market has been juiced by people refinancing their homes as prices went up and using that money to buy second homes, new cars, remodel their homes, new phones, etc. Now that rates are higher, I think the rest of the economy will cool off as people can't use their homes as ATMs which will lead to a consumer spending slow down which will lead to a stock market correction which will lead to layoffs and finally start forcing more real estate transactions.
I have an extremely hard time reading & benefitting from tests that make use of excessive mocks. Some apps I've worked on recently have mocked out so many things, large parts of the code base don't actually get hit by the actual tests. It's super annoying. To be honest I can't even make sense of it most of the time.
So? Tech workers commute from their air-conditioned houses in their air-conditioned cars to their air-conditioned offices, then shop in air-conditioned stores--then back to their air-conditioned houses. So they only need to spend a small amount of time in the heat.

I'm guessing without the subsidies our food prices would go way up and we would still probably have a lot of farmers going out of business (because many farmers are dependent on international markets that they would no longer be able to compete in)? Maybe we could address food prices by expanding "food stamps" programs, but I'm not sure what kind of policy would keep small farmers in business. And I would think mandating organic, local, small scale, etc agriculture would only make food even more expensive? (I'm not inherently opposed to expensive food as long as it doesn't worsen food insecurity).

I'm curious how Europe does it--do they just import their food from countries that can produce more cheaply (because of cheap cost of living / dodgy labor laws)? More expansive welfare to help people buy costlier food? Both?
Fully agree on using tools such as Restic! The `--exclude-caches` is really helpful in keeping backups small, it makes Restic skip directories with a CACHEDIR.TAG file and that includes Rust compile target directories. Combined with a small exclude list for browser caches and other temporary storage this makes backup deltas way smaller than in the average ZFS setup. (And no, creating a new ZFS filesystem for every cache directory and excluding each of them from snapshots is not really a solution)

I'm not sure about handing them the win of legalising same-sex marriage. They could have just passed it straight into law, instead they had this fuckaround of a non-binding plebiscite, wasting huge amounts of money ($400m I believe it cost). They basically passed it kicking and screaming.

On the Mac its easy. Command-A selects all text. Control-a moves to the beginning of a line. Both in Apple's Textedit and in Emacs on the Mac.

> Cmd instead of Ctrl

For half of the keys this won't work. For example the Function keys. Search something is Command-F. On Windows next search is F3. On the Mac it is Command-G. F3 for search does not work on the Mac. Worse, to type F3 on a Macbook keyboard I need to press World-F3.

My personal favorite would be to have a modern clone of the Symbolics keyboard... the "keymacs" keyboard, in the version with the original Symbolics keyboard layout.

I really enjoy Mastodon and believe it has staying power.

Not rocket ship “going to explode and burn out” power. There’s enough there to keep people engaged. The decentralized nature means there’s always corners of it alive and growing.
What's the benefit to the client? I don't understand how/when this would be a good arrangement for the client.
There’s no problem unless a service specifies entrance-only delivery. All parties agree to the same contract. But if you still prefer to eat that cost, the company they contract with will pocket it through market means. Not them. Same for tips, they pay those who are underpaid. Delivery drivers are unprotected, period. It’s an unregulated low-skill high-competition job, these suck systemically. You can’t unsuck it by personal means.
Yeah, I don't think it'd be healthy to speculate too far, but it seems plausible the article was flagged solely on the basis of the title.
Not OP, but out of curiosity, could people downvoting/flagging OP share why? I don't see anything particularly offensive, political, or questionable. Even if you're opposed to ALPR's as a technology, downvoting OP isn't going to make them go away, and having open source alternatives likely aids in research regarding privacy and ALPR defeats by lowering the barrier to entry for that research.

OP, you should be very proud of having built something this complex at your age. When I was your age I was still wasting most of my time on video games. Keep up the cool work!
Lol non of the fake meat companies are in it for "ethics", what are you on about?

I'm not convinced this is entirely meritless either. The packages of meat-replacements are usually right next to the ground beef in my store, and it's not trivial to pick them out from the just "Artisanal" ground beef products, unless you pick up and carefully read each and every package. Maybe they need a protected word they can use to clearly self label as a meatless product.
How is it that none of these are “no, because that hurts our bottom line even if it’s good for the public”?

The framing in this article suggests that corporations and societies are usually aligned in their interests. This has not been my experience.
exactly. i didn't have a peer group as a child. and my parents are the only ones responsible for that. i am not blaming them, because they couldn't do better, but most definitely their influence and making sure that i am in an environment where i can make friends is something they were responsible for.
In a way, FSD hype is brilliant. Cathie Wood attributes a majority of Tesla's valuation to robotaxi revenue. That means a multi-year zero-revenue business has pushed down Tesla's cost of capital to a fraction of the incumbents. That, in turn, has made Tesla a segment leader in the game for the long run. It also made SpaceX and X possible.

The main problem is lack of restraint: "Give me $15,000 non-refundable and someday I will deliver the means to make a profit on the car you bought. It already has the hardware." is building up a big potential liability. But, even if forced to refund that FSD money, it's still been cheap capital to grow Tesla.
That makes so much sense. Back when I had a rooted device, I was once blocked from using... the Instant Pot app. Yes, a recipe app. It gave me a message saying something vague about security.
> Hell, the code is even still falling back to the old file system path if the APEX mount doesn't exist, so you could just delete the entire module and go back to the old method.

That's covered in the article - no, you can't do this. If you entirely unmount the apex module from the filesystem from a root shell, so the CA certificates aren't visible anywhere on the filesystem, apps will still read them successfully. And the OS blocks RW mounting of APEX modules so you can't delete the cacerts directory within the module either.

It looks like apps have separate namespaced mounts, managed by the OS itself from boot. Effectively they're containerized, and as part of launching all applications the OS is mounting the certs directly into the process's view of the world.

If you can find a way to modify the filesystem the apps see from a root shell, that would be great! I'd love to hear about it. But believe me that I've tried quite a few of the obvious things already.

"The claim that automated testing and TDD forces you to produce better designed systems isn’t strictly true"

Has TDD become so sacred that we need to beat around the bush?

TDD quite often in fact forces bad design, and combined with agile and especially scrum, often 'forces' myopic architecture too.

There, I said it.

Some kind of specification and testing is still way better than none at all, but current practices are not without potentially deep problems.
I hate all of these companies. The streets in my city, especially in the evening, are now flush with their drivers zooming around on e-bikes, e-scooters, and mopeds, often on the sidewalks, with little regard for the traffic laws or pedestrians, and I've personally witnessed them colliding with pedestrians on multiple occasions (thankfully not badly hurt). I have never used any of the services, and I take spiteful pleasure in knowing that those who do are wasting their money and poisoning themselves with unhealthy ****.

I don't find it confusing.

Plenty of vegans are vegan because of ethics but still miss the taste of meat, so substitutes make perfect sense.

It also makes sense from a recruiting standpoint. There's a cultish aspect to veganism, which is why vegans are notorious for announcing that they are vegan, and they need new members to join their religion in order to maintain their sense of superiority. Their thought is that if meat eaters can be satisfied by fake plant-based meat that they might give up eating meat and become vegan.
Or look at it another way. What if the guy being robbed missed, then robber shoots him and all around him. Which would not have happened if the wallets were just given. It's always better to de-escalate.

> all these undocumented people are getting all the jobs, benefits, healthcare, housing, government grants and school places which ignores the fact that to get any of those you have to be documented and registered on a myriad of systems to access that

This is correct. There are people operating outside of all of those - there was a number of illegal schools in Birmingham that OFSTED spotted and shut down - but to get into the legal system and especially to claim money you need identification.
A judgment would include legal fees, and depending on the state, X might be on the hook for triple damages. Plenty of money to go around, they just need to win in court.
It would be much more helpful if you can point out what is wrong and what the correct information is. Is it that they don't work at all? Is it that they work better than mentioned?

I completely agree - on the cost front though, I find that the development costs are reasonable and actually developing black and white at home is relatively easy and cheap. But the film stock cost has increased quite prohibitively for me, especially compared to 2017/18 when I first started shooting film again.

> the statistical clerics preaching the benefits of greed

You have to define greed very broadly to make this statement true. Broadly enough that you should tell people to discard any negative connotations of the word when interpreting what you're saying.

I work for money I can spend; that's greed only in the sense that I choose what I do and I get rewarded for it, as opposed to working to avoid being whipped or killed or sent to Siberia or to hell. Self-interest is so far the best motivation we've come up with.

I know this isn't quite what you meant, but I know a dog by the name Chorizo, and every time I see a soy chorizo in a supermarket, I can't help but imagine him in a sombrero introducing himself in Spanish.

I agree with the actual point you're making — though I can imagine a DnD-style alignment chart with one axis for substance purity and the other for functional equivalence, such a chart has both soy milk and peanut butter in the "functional purity, ingredient rebel" corner.

Using "infinity" is a cheat, not a handwave. It's a variant of Pascal's Wager to put the thumb on the result you want.

"No better off materially" is also something you cannot handwave. There is a limit. If someone gambled all of their money then they would be worse off materially, and quickly. They are not in equilibrium, which means your hypothesis requires some sort of lower bound.

This is a well-studied topic. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10899-010-9194-0 concludes:

> Empirical knowledge on lottery gambling has increased significantly over the past decade. Recent literature on lottery gambling involving numbers games, lotto, and scratch cards has provided three tentative answers to the question as to why people buy lotteries: some people do not behave in a rational way while gambling on lottery; lottery gambling is for fun; and lotteries are so common they are not viewed as gambling. Lottery gambling theories, classified into one that deals with judgment under uncertainty and another that deals with irrational beliefs, continue to be the theories of choice in lottery gambling research. Theoretical frameworks other than those of cognitive theories, such as social cognitive theory and theory of planned behavior, have been introduced in lottery gambling research. Dimensions of personality have also been found to relate to lottery gambling.

Your model does not include the "fun" part.

You can see that people in the lowest income bracket are the least likely to gamble, I'm guessing because they will be in a materially worse situation by gambling:

> The inverted U-shape distribution of lottery gamblers among five SES quintiles (low, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and high) showed larger proportions of lottery gamblers in the 2nd and 3rd quintiles (70% each), whereas the low, 4th, and high quintile accounted for 61, 65, and 63% respectively (Welte et al. 2002; Table 2).

Visa to send stablecoin USDC over Solana to help pay merchants in crypto
I think that it makes the most sense to use existing truth in advertising laws to decide on a case by case basis. If a product's branding is setup to create confusion like that, then I think it's reasonable to sanction the company. A similar gray area I've seen is a vegan chicken product called something like "chikn"; overall I doubt it confused people much, but I wouldn't be opposed to the government telling them to name it something else.

However, I don't think this sort of law that tries to proscribe for every situation is needed. The majority of vegan meats that I've seen have been obvious.
I'm daily driving a Pinephone Pro. Interesting note out there: Chase.com tries really, really, really hard to block you from using non-standard browsers (like Librewolf) as well as phone/tablet browsers (it will try to force you to use the mobile application.)

At least until WEI becomes mandatory, this isn't really a serious problem, since these braindead measures are all easily bypassed. However, I am interested if there is any potential legal avenue to pursue given that Chase is a bank. My first guess would be ADA compliance, but I'm not sure. At this point, I'm so fed up that I am not sure if it is an empty threat anymore to say that I'm interested in filing lawsuits over this.

(I realize this is a tangent, but it's relevant because it underscores yet another facet of how leaving the oligopoly of mobile phone operating systems is damn near impossible. Android will just keep getting worse, probably even if the Linux phone niche miraculously grows to a couple percentage points; we need something.)
I like that you and the parent comment have valid reasons for liking or disliking the same type of food. The article is not about that, its about labeling and the meaning of words.
Completely disagree. You do whatever with your own life. But kid is a 3rd person that you bring. If the life they are coming to is already bad, financially, legged behind from others in many ways, or any other, that's selfish. Forcing someone to terrible start without their consent.

Parent should first make sure they are good to bring someone else and not to give a disadvantage start, playing gamble with life who did not ask.
