In most US jurisdictions it is still illegal to film within the confines of a courthouse, unless prior authorized, due to potential privacy violations, but anybody can film on the courthouse steps. These privacy violations may compromise persons charged with crimes, witnesses, jury members, court staff, or plaintiffs. Since the conduct and presence of many people at a courthouse is often involuntarily and yet not part of the public record their privacy concerns, and even potential safety concerns, exceed third-party expression concerns.

A 1984-like law for wiretraping every citizen looking for double-plus-ungood speech is way too evil to come from a motivation of selling more wiretraps.

>Sure, they don't care about it as a first order thing, but they care about development not slowly grinding to a halt over time.

Most only care when it affects them or sales, not when devs are asking to allot time to clean up code or pushing off a release to fix wonky stuff. In my mind that's not caring.

That's like people care that they can't walk up stairs without huffing and puffing, but not enough to actually diet and exercise. That's not actually caring, that's really regret.

I'm fortunate though, my company gives a lot of credence to dev.
Sure. I’m just saying that we can’t throw the brainwashed/corporate corruption card at everything we don’t like.
You also have minimum wages regulated by law. In Sweden, both strikes and minimum wages are regulated by the agreement Tesla is refusing to sign.

The union wants regulation, that's the whole point. Tesla only have themselves to blame for any action that stems from the decision to not sign a collective agreement.

PS. 90% of Swedish labor is covered by collective agreements that has been hammered out over the last century - it is custom to sign it and no one has brought in scabs for almost a century during a strike, forcing unions to step up their game. As Tesla threatens the Swedish model, it is a concern for all labor.

That Meross opener is rock solid. I've had one for almost two years now controlling two doors. Even with a marginal wifi signal it always just works.

Homebridge + HomeKit is also an excellent middle ground between Home Assistant and HomeKit alone w/o having to go with some cloud-based solution.

For example, I wanted my garage door to automatically open and close as I leave and arrive in my car. Here's how I did that.

I have a pair of dummy switches in Homebridge. One of those tracks the state of whether my phone is in CarPlay mode or not. I do this with a Siri Shortcut on my phone that toggles the "CarPlay status" dummy switch when my phone enters/exits CarPlay mode. The second dummy switch triggers my garage door to open/close whenever the dummy switch turns on/off. This is a work-around for the opener itself being a secure accessory which HomeKit won't operate w/o the phone being unlocked. The last piece of the puzzle is a HomeKit location-based automation: if my phone leaves my home location and the "CarPlay status" dummy switch is on, then set the garage door dummy switch to off; if my phone enters my home location and the "CarPlay status" dummy switch is on, then set the garage door dummy switch to on.

I drew the home location as tight as possible around my home. The door opens just as I'm pulling up to my home and I see it close just as I'm leaving.

As to why I don't just use the CarPlay garage door button: I mean, why automate anything? Also, if you have multiple garage doors, there seems to be no rhyme or reason to which door CarPlay gives you the button for.

As to why I don't just use the button on my rear view mirror: Again, why automate anything? My mirror also has 3 buttons and it's easy to accidentally press the wrong one.

My Motorola G7 from 2018ish had not received a security update since 2021, and was feeling a bit sluggish. I considered upgrading, but I'm not keen on throwing away ~£2-300 when there is nothing technically wrong with the device, so I finally made the effort to wipe the stock android and install Lineage OS last week, and it was a lot easier than I thought it would be.

The only key thing which I almost messed up was to properly backup my OTO app (Aegis) and make sure I am able to recover it and doing a full backup to my Linux laptop.

Unless my phone breaks, I doubt I will get a new model in the next few years, there is nothing I need from a newer model.

> Spain also has the lowest fertility rate in Europe at 1.28. Not sure how much apartment living is cause or effect on that but it's a grim number.

Spain's economy is very screwed up. Unemployment rate tends to hover above 20% and I think it has the highest rate of students dropping out of basic education.

To top things off, cost of living in urban centers is way way above the median income, specially nowadays. Young families have to make do with either sharing apartments/renting rooms or living way outside city centers in small apartments. In some cases the only affordable option is renting rooms way outside the urban centers.

So the average Spanish couple has to make very hard decisions on if/when to start a family. Quite often the decision tends towards "not right now, we can't afford it."

Marketing brochures tend to emphasize Spain's "terraza" lifestyle, as in people hanging out in cafes/bars/restaurants in the afternoon, evening, and even night, and brag about the fantastic social life that sprouts from there, but the ugly truth is that one important factor of that pattern is the fact that housing is very expensive and very low-quality to the point that staying indoors in one of those flats can have a huge detrimental impact on your mental health, and the only way to avoid that is to minimize the amount of time you spend indoors.

Knowing someone involved with the Chamberlain technology stack, it sounds like certain users had reverse engineered the API and suddenly caused a DDOS on the Chamberlain cloud with their requests.

> iPhones still do slow charging in 2023.

I'm not sure where you got this impression, they've supported fast charging since the iPhone 8 in 2017, which could do 50% of the battery in 30 mins, with the appropriate charger. Now which fast charging spec is a different question.

People keep asking because they are looking for a rigorous example in a citation that's unambiguous. If it's not obvious, that is even more compelling.

I personally think the more theory trained folks wonder if there will turn out to be some analogy with the corresponding towers of languages and machines recognizing them (regular languages, finite automata, push down automata, turing machines, for examples).

https://a.co/d/8ix6V6m

is an example covering the historical language classes and recognizers for them.

Perhaps LLMs and various architectures will turn out fitting what you describe.
> Unions are often after things that benefit both sides. Safety improvements both protect the workers and shield the company from both injury liability and material losses due to accidents. More generous leave policies and more worker-friendly hours result in happier, healthier, better rested, and therefore more productive workers, which can easily balance out the small reduction in total hours.

In cases where this is actually true, the company would be offering these things of its own volition -- as happens in many industries without unions. So then what would you need the union for?

You could obviously have poorly managed companies that get this wrong, but then they would be at a competitive disadvantage in the market.

Where this more often doesn't happen is in the places where it isn't true. There are some jobs where worker productivity isn't that salient -- or is only relevant to the extent that it allows the company to employ fewer people, which is the sort of thing a union would then try to prevent.

The article posted here puts forth a reasonable approach, but I expect that achieving it is more political than economic, and that governments themselves, with or without the consent of their governed, will not take any steps back in their ability to monitor civilians.

They didn't vote for it, or against it. In most countries, citizens don't get to vote on individual laws. We vote people into power, who then hopefully don't enact laws that harm us. But as we all know by now, that's never stopped a politician.
This can happen. A delivery person comes to a door, presses the button in their app, and nothing happens. So it's immediately obvious that they are at a wrong location.

And they know that they can't just leave the package there, they have to find the correct door. And there's a flow in the Amazon delivery app to mark an incorrect geolocation, so they won't be penalized for taking longer time.

The app also has pictures of the location in question, to minimize the confusion.

From the homeowner's side, the garage door will be open for half a minute or so with nobody nearby. It's possible for a burglar to use this time to quickly run inside. But the probability of that is pretty low, and there'll be a camera recording of that.

Mmm... Erlang isn't particularly good for scripting. It has an elaborate deployment process. It doesn't like OS interfaces very much, and usually tries to offer alternatives, which are often better designed, but it also means there's a thick layer between you and the system you are scripting. While Erlang support for native code is a lot better than, say, in Python, it's better in terms of quality of the output not in terms of how easy it is to accomplish. In scripts you rarely care about quality or generalizations.

I don't see how working with types in scripts would be helpful. To me this looks like a bad idea. Everything being a string is a very valuable feature of Unix Shell. Once you have to spell out types interactively your life becomes a misery. I had similar experience having to do some testing for a mostly Linux-based product on MS Windows (an iSCSI portal that I needed to check if the MS side can connect to).

Using PowerShell is like talking to a very pedantic and a very stupid army bureaucrat, where each time you speak you have to define every word you use afresh, declare the titles of all people involved in a conversation up-front and in the end, all while being unable to connect two obviously related pieces of information because the said bureaucrat has no folder that can contain both.

So, IMO, Erlang or any other Beam language would be awesome for infra automation, and it only gets better the bigger is the organization that infra is supporting. I'm not sure there's any benefit to having ML-style explicit typing in a Beam language though. To explain this better: in the times Flash was relevant, AVM -- Flash' virtual machine was written in such a way that it had to perform runtime type checks almost every other instruction. If you could prove types statically (which Haxe did), then you could generate much tighter bytecode which lead both to smaller memory footprint and somewhat faster execution.

I don't think Beam works in the same way. So, being able to statically prove something about your code doesn't give you the same kind of benefits. And the remaining benefits could be eclipsed by the effort necessary to support the code containing type assertions (i.e. the extra testing that you need to do to assure the type assertions are correct, the increased refactoring cost and valid functionality prevented by lack of insight on the part of the programmer writing type assertions might not be worth the correctness guarantees given by these assertions).

No, they are port workers doing a sympathy strike with IF Metall, they are workers that see collective action taken against Tesla and decided to join in on their field.

Tesla workers under IF Metall are under strike, there are scabs in any strike, Tesla was ferrying workers from other places to cross picket lines and do the work, that doesn't fly here in Sweden, hence the sympathy strikes by other unions to show Tesla that this attitude is despicable in this society.

So the benefit of a union is it that it encourages people to address conflicts in a childish and passive aggressive way that also causes collateral damage to uninvolved 3rd parties?

Do you track your car expenses? I do. Here are numbers from 2011-2018 for a used 2003 car:

Gas: $7200
Maintenance/Repairs: $2300

Note that maintenance includes things you'd do for EVs as well (e.g. new tires).

That's $9500 in 7 years.

Total spent on the car (including purchase price): $18500.

The extra cost of a comparably sized EV is significantly more than my gas and repair costs.

The numbers for my other cars is similar.

Sorry, not buying the koolaid.

I haven't included insurance, which will be a lot cheaper as well. For context, for my older car I pay $700/year for insurance, and that's with many of the benefits maxed out - I simply can't get more expensive insurance! For my other (newer) car it's more like $1200/year.

> It's not a bad job if you have what it takes, but the reason we're paid a lot of money is that many couldn't force themselves to do it even if they wanted to.

You make it sound like we toil away every day, almost as if we were breaking rocks or hammering iron. We don't. We have cushy and sedentary jobs that many could do and even more would die to have. Most LOB software development is not special and not that complicated. We don't create unique works of art in every project we work on, although the occasional piece of code does tickle the brain.

There are many software developers working on much more complex things (compilers, OSs, high-performance computing, firmware, rockets, etc) but those are in the minority. And I firmly believe that anyone with enough training and experience can write OS code, or compiler code, or firmware, etc.

> There's a lot of responsibility, uncertainty and frustration.

I'm not going to say there isn't because there's certainly a lot of that, but it's a small price to pay for how good we have it. We also, as an industry, don't deal with more or less BS than other white-collar, office jobs.

I recently had a conversation with a friend going through her (medical) residence: 12+ hour shifts several days in a row, combining hospital work with lectures. Nurses have it even worse. We (software developers) should be very grateful.
What the heck are you even talking about? I'm not running experiments, I'm trying to have a conversation. Do you or do you not believe the fediverse is ideologically homogeneous? I see people here arguing that it is, but that it is justifiably so. I don't see anyone clearly claiming it's not, but someone might. I think it is homogeneous for the very reasons you gave (i.e. people are not obliged to propagate speech they think is bad), but I'm not sure whether I think that's a good or a bad thing. If you think I'm wrong about it being ideologically homogeneous, feel free to tell me. If you want to weigh in on whether that's a good or bad thing, please do, that's why I asked the question. If you really want to challenge my epistemological standing to offer an opinion at all, well, I guess we're done here.
