The article is lying to you. Do not trust it.

The law does not require a kill switch of any sort, much less one that can be activated remotely.

The phrase is "prevent or limit motor vehicle operation if an impairment is detected".

Limit can mean a lot of things besides preventing the car from driving.

Consider that if you fail the test then a warning lamp appears. If you continue to fail the test for another 5 minutes, and are driving over 20 mph, then your car starts flashing its lights and honking its horn until the test passes again or you stop the car.

Or, a governor engages, ramping down to 10mph over a period of 10 minutes.

Those result in limited operation, but are not kill switches.

Yes, the law could allow interlocks which prohibit use completely, just like those convicted of DUI may already required to have interlocks installed.

But it certainly does not mandate it.
Well i learned a different lesson. It's now extremely easy to set up a global transaction network, or you can choose from one of the thousands of existing ones. Maybe you mean the regulatory aspect, not the technical?
There's no rule that says that something can't be both practical and good.

And it's not like it's no longer possible to write quote-unquote "bad" PHP -- if nothing else, PHP is backwards-compatible to a fault.
Bidirectional replication (aka multi-master) was added to Postgres in v16. Most others like MySQL, MS SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, et al have supported it for quite a while now.

Neat project, but there are easier, more cost-efficient, and well-documented methods available now.

I once sent a small article (maybe five pages) on philosophy to Noam Chomsky. He replied that he probably won’t find the time to read it.
To be fair though, Scala's sum types are a bit of a hack aren't they, or at least pretty cumbersome? Declaring a `sealed abstract class` (or is it trait) and then a bunch of case classes syntactically disconnected from the sealed abstract thing that defines the sum type.
I was surprised with how little the Pokemon formula has changed over the past 20 years. Despite all the advances in graphics and such the core gameplay loop is still catch Pokemon and play rock paper scissors in a turn based battle system. Any new mechanics like mega evolutions seem to be just gimmicks that don't carry forward to the next gen.
You can still easily disable and uninstall anything you want on Ubuntu through systemctl or apt. Windows is much more opaque and messy in that regard.
Early warnings of dementia or even eyesight problems - both of those are likely to lead to a change in driving style with more pronounced braking as the driver reacts slower to events.

It would make sense to anonymise the data before sending it to the government and the point of the data is to identify road congestion and problematic junctions. It could also feed into better tracking of traffic lights timings etc. None of those uses have a requirement to know whether it's Mr Jones in his red Corsa or Mrs Malaprop in her SUV.
Many EU governments and the UK have defined lists of untaxed goods, mostly staple foods.

Does the MacBook Air with M1 (or M2) actually support 10bpc on the 6k Display? It is never mentioned in the specs about the Macbook Air, AFAIK. My guess is that it does not. The M1 from 2020 also did only support 8bpc on the internal display.

For the MacBook Pro with M1 Pro it is explicitly mentioned in the tech specs that it supports 6k with 10bpc.

This page claims that even the M1 MacBook Air from 2020 supports 10bpc on the external 6k monitor: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210437

But the actual technical spec page for the machine never says it, AFAICS.

https://support.apple.com/kb/SP825?locale=en_US

> Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display at millions of colors and: One external display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz

My impression was that Apple implemented Thunderbolt themselves (and got rid of external chips) and that at least the first generation M1 machines lacked the 10bpc feature in the GPU and/or the Thunderbolt part.

In my opinion Ariane 5 was way overbuilt. This forced it into a niche and lead to it being not at all dominant. It speaks volumes how much ESA was reliant on Soyuz.

> hating most of Scrum

I'll just say that if you look at Scrum itself there is really nothing objectionable to it.

https://scrumguides.org/scrum-guide.html

It's the other shit people pack on top of calling it Scrum that usually sucks ass. I've found the best way to fight back against shitty-Scrum is not to fight it, but actually feign puritanical allegiance to the actual doctrine, it's much less repulsive. I makes you look like less of contrarian and it's easier to make an impact that way.

I coded php for years. Generally speaking, php teams (using smarty + composer) are faster. They don't have the ci/cd drama of java. PHP is made for the internet (unlike python) and is fast (unlike rails). It also doesn't suffer version drama (python2 vs python3).
At this point, every local restaurant in my area is charging 2.9% fee for using a credit card. Let's just lower these processing fees, get rid of credit card rewards, and small businesses can stop charging fees for using credit cards for payment.
I don't remember this at all, and I played all of the games from Red/Blue to Crystal I think. Was there shortages of cartridges or something in some countries?
HN is run by a VC fund with some of the richest people on the planet.

If money were a consideration (and it isn't) there is nothing even a collection among users could achieve that anyone there (except the presumably non-billionaire HN moderator) might even deign to think two seconds about.
with respect, I disagree that the function here is to show information. the (primary) function here is to advertise Stripe, and they obviously believe the aesthetic will increase the chance that viewers of the advert with share it with their friends and coworkers, increasing the effectiveness if the advert.

if this was a page they provided to all their customers, all year round, as their means of monitoring their own sales then I agree that this is a terrible design. but they have a fairly utilitarian dashboard UI for that function.
I quite liked the 3D concept, it was pretty awesome. What I don't like is the shitty graphics and limited content.

I live in the UK, where we've had instant, free, interbank payments for the last few years (we've had free interbank payments for > 10 years, but the instant part came in a few years ago as part of the Faster Payments scheme).

Spoiler alert: it has not eliminated the need for credit cards. The credit card system has a lot of flexibility and integrations to make for a superior user experience in a number of situations. For example, a lot of banks let you create virtual cards for specific purposes (eg: I have one for all my online subscriptions, and another for merchants I've not dealt with before). Not to mention Apple/Google Pay and their integration into basically every single online payments platform.

Chinese companies lead in battery technology, which is the heart of any EV. "They do patent infringement" is just a crude stereotype.
>Based on this data alone, I'd expect people with some practice would be able to get a reasonably close estimate of what Stripe processed this year.

Stripe recently started publishing their yearly processing volume in user letters (see, e.g. 2022: https://stripe.com/annual-updates/2022). I assume they will publish the 2023 numbers as well.
> there is a chance other players could maintain patches to modify Mv3 but the effort of designing and implementing a new spec around the Mv3 spec and convincing extensions to maintain yet another platform means this is unlikely to happen in practice.

The design has already been completed, in that mozilla has already done this in their implementation of manifest v3. The difficulty of convincing extension developers to support it should thus be no more difficult than convincing them to ship a firefox version of their extension.

> Keeping Mv2 around is a more reasonable approach (and one that is compatible with Firefox, as well).

This isn't a long term solution. Brave for example has only committed to maintaining mv2 support as long as chrome continues to support it internally. If chrome removes it, the work of continuing to support it would become untenable.

Why is it important to create "tech giants" instead of more sustainable businesses? Giant corporations are soul sucking and rent seeking.

At least for cloud deployments you'll (for almost all cases) already have a hypervisor underneath to provide strong isolation. With that in place, ideally you'd run your application (ultimately the only thing you care about) as close to that hypervisor as possible. Instead, we have hypervisor, and then inside the VM the (say Linux) kernel, user-space, the container runtime, and finally the application.

With a unikernel the stack becomes hypervisor and a VM that has a very thin layer and then the application -- as close to the application running on the hypervisor as possible. This results in lots of gains in terms of minimal cold boot times, memory usage, server density (thousands on a single server), etc.

In fact, you don't need to see containers and unikernels as an either or choice: in fact, at Unikraft (another unikernel project) for development and local deployment we have support for Docker/Dockerfiles -- and then for deployment we provide a lean unikernel as described above.

Hope this clarifies things somewhat.

Well, it goes both ways. If they were bigger they'd get more observational tasks targeted up to that limit.
I don't know the technical specifics but I've had a Logitech and Sennheiser BT headset with dongle. I'm pretty sure the dongle is Bluetooth but it is definitely doing something out of spec because there's a huge difference in quality between dongle and direct Bluetooth.

Generally the bank will file a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) with FINCEN for egregious cases. I don’t think intermediaries like stripe have any direct responsibility in this respect but I could be wrong. The volumes are huge and few SARs actually are investigated or prosecuted.
I mean... yeah, that's exactly why Rust has tagged unions as well... both are useful in the right contexts, but tagged unions are easier to work with in general. That doesn't mean that (untagged) unions should be safe to work with though, because they can't be.

> that software development labor would be fully itemized in a standard catalogue like auto mechanic by the year 2000.

That's pretty dumb... Software doesn't "break" and if it could be itemized to such a degree it could be made self-healing.
You're confusing the general "don't limit yourself to one language" which is good advice, with the specific "OP's problem in the past year has been that they know Java and are looking for Java roles" which the GP commenter has no way of knowing and is extremely unlikely to be the case.
> It’s completely trivial.

Like I implicitly said: how to do it beyond the “simple identical content cases”?

But if the solution is for the user to explicitly order renames (i.e., this renamed Java class is a file move) then the solution is indeed simple.

I see the point that Linus was making that you may want to be able to see “function moves” and so on. But in practice I am very often interested in file moves since you can inspect the file history easily in Git—except when you hit some wall because someone renamed the file. Then you need to re-run the command with `--follow`. Contrast all of that with a function move... I almost never can summon the will to fish out the incantation (like a regex or a robust line range) which will give me the history of a function across intra- or inter-file moves and so on.

> I think these should be installed in cars in such a way that they can be removed by owners. And then make removing it a crime.

no. they should not be installed at all. while were on this topic vehicles have WAY too much insecure crapware in them already, to the point where they can already be remotely controlled by hackers

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler

> In July 2015, IT security researchers announced a severe security flaw assumed to affect every Chrysler vehicle with Uconnect produced from late 2013 to early 2015.[112] It allows hackers to gain access to the car over the Internet, and in the case of a Jeep Cherokee was demonstrated to enable an attacker to take control not just of the radio, A/C, and windshield wipers, but also of the car's steering, brakes and transmission.[112] Chrysler published a patch that car owners can download and install via a USB stick, or have a car dealer install for them.[112]

i don't know what people don't get, no matter how many times it happens it will not change: some company making a thing that communicates will always fuck it up beyond belief. they simply do not give a fuck about implementing it securely. a vehicle having software automatically means it will have severe vulnerabilities implemented in some stupid web scripting language by a kid who just arrived out of a shoddy college. did you miss the news or are you just coping by thinking "surely the 738th company to do IoT crap will do it right this time"

> Since driving is, and has always been a privilege and not a right, I don't see a problem with having a remote kill switch that cops can use in specific cases.

because you're just applying robotic reasoning to try and sound logically consistent while only knowing and focusing one one small part of law

If I understand correctly, they're moving development to GitHub, and not hosting their own git servers. So you'd need a GitHub (Microsoft) account to merge a change to the code.
well all tech is imperfect, you can't have perfect tech or anything that works 100% of the time. The question is what is the false positive rate. If getting a false positive or break in the tech once a year or less dramatically reduces drunk driving, it's worth it to me. We already have sensors that help cars release less pollutants which can sometimes fail and cause the car not to drive properly. I don't see why this tech should be treated any different
Used Photoshop since its really early days, but since I moved to Linux as an OS, it's really hard to find an alternative. Eventually, I fall back to Photopea, as Gimp is just a PITA to work in.

If I had just one advice to give, that would be the one.

Talking about lists, I love this one:

“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
