I guess it depends on the details. I do a journey regularly that is about the same time, an hour, by car or by train + tube + walk. I tend to do the train because I can sit and work on something whereas in the car you can't. It's changed with time - I used to like driving but find it a bit tedious now.

There were actually two Polish train hacking debacles, and I'm not 100% sure which one the GP means.

The one you describe is the more famous one, but there was another one a few months earlier, where a group of actually malicious hackers used simple radio signals to trigger emergency stops on dozens of trains over the course of a few days.[1]

There seems to have been a little progress on that recently, I saw someone working on a ppc 32bit port here: https://bsd.network/@tobhe/111756322928965195 and I also saw somewhere someone working on a 68000 port, but I don't remember where.

I'd like an arm 32bit port, which might be a bit easier with this ppc port as an example of 32bit qbe. It'd be nice to try run some hare programs on a gameboy advance :)
Here is where you are incorrect in your anticipation. The amount of land usable for agriculture will be decreasing faster than the ice shields melt.

I'm saying that if you look at, for example, the IPCC reports, then out of the various scenarios considered, the very most optimistic ones, the most ambitious goal they consider worth discussing, amounts to stabilizing global warming at 1.5 degrees and that requires achieving net zero by 2050.

I'm not rejecting what we have achieved, I'm just discouraging wishful thinking that we can somehow avoid having to adapt to the effects of the climate change - our actions can change whether we'll have a small global warming or a large global warming, but there is no scenario where we will have zero global warming, as it's already happening. And it's not just my opinion, this is a high-confidence consensus of IPCC.

There's a theory that our economies are so fundamentally dependant on fossil fuels that, if you limit their extraction, you don't get fossil fuels price increases, but rather proportional GDP contraction (as less f.f. means less economic activity overall), and f.f. prices stay roughly the same. The evidence to back this up is the fact that, historically, the correlation between global f.f. extraction and global GDP is pretty much perfect. In other words, economic activity is pretty much about energy expenditure, and energy means pretty much fossil fuels.

I have a domestic web server, I did implement its code, and the most important was HTTP1.[01] to be very simple to implement, that to lower the cost of implementing my real-life HTTP1.[01] alternative (we all know Big Tech does not like that...).

The best would be to have something like SMTP: the core is extremely simple and yet real-life-works everywhere, and via announced options/extensions it can _optionnaly_ grow in complexity.

I don’t understand why we have to put microcontrollers in everything.

There is a difference between striving for basic amenities like clean water, healthy food etc, and the luxury of ordering vanities off Amazon every other day..

There are great opportunities here — improving farming being a great one as you mention.

Changing our farming methods to increase humus and topsoil quality should bring back vitamins to our food. Not only this but it should also capture a great amount of CO₂. I'm not sure how reliable my memory or the original calculation are but I remember reading in "The Scientist as Rebel" that if we increase our topsoil by 2 inches on currently farmed land, that should capture most of the carbon we've emitted during industrialisation.

Of course, as you mention, if we keep mindlessly following the status quo, we'll keep getting what we deserve.

I think you should dig a little deeper into my comment before calling me out on my supposed pipe dreams.

I say taxation (which is NOT a market force, but a govt intervention in a market) can be used to then let the market fix the problem. Especially given that I also say that tax on "wholesome" things such as labour and housing should be abolished. To break it down for you: a massage these days costs, say, 50 USD for 30mins, because labour and the parlours location are expensive. For 50 USD I can order bin bags full of plastic rubbish (toys) from China (plastic, transport, im/ex, are all suuuuuuper cheap). I suggest to use taxation to the other way: make labour/housing cheap and transport/plastic expensive.

For me it's that the "on" and "off" state are styled inconsistently and can be difficult to guess without toggling. Whether a checkbox is checked or not is never in question.

Except there is no such column, so the visual distinction is not self documenting, whereas a checkbox or radio very much is.

As someone who has no experience with this version of iTunes:

- The lower row is definitely a row of buttons. Back, forward, categories in the library (?), I don't know what the last one is supposed to do.

- Are the things above that row buttons? Why don't they look like them then?

- If they are, what does fast forward and rewind do? Skip to the next track and to the beginning of the same track? Actually move quickly through the track (like fast forward and rewind used to do)? Does pressing rewind go to the beginning of the track or to the previous track? If it's to the same track, how quickly do I have to click again to go to the previous track?

- Is that slider a progress bar or volume slider?

- Where do I click and drag to move the window? If it's in that top row, why are there things cluttering up the title bar? How much space do I have left to move the window?

- I assume the coloured things are the window management controls. Does clicking the red one close the window and keep the music going, or does it stop?

The microcontroller obsession is real. As is the desire to do everything via software and not mechanically - see touchscreens in cars. I'm pretty sure it's because as developers, we're addicted to the notion of making everything software-defined so you can change everything later if needed. As a developer it's a thought process I understand well, but seems to increasingly lead to detrimental outcomes, like the extreme touchscreenisation of cars - awful from a safety perspective.

I am told that "superloos" (those automated self-cleaning toilets installed on the pavement) do have some kind of time limit and will play some kind of audial warning a few minutes before opening.

More concerning about those toilets are stories where people somehow managed to be inside the toilet when the self-cleaning process started (which involved the entire chamber being filled with liquid). Supposedly this would happen when someone used the toilet, but held the door open as they left so someone else could use it without paying. The toilet, then thinking it was empty, proceeds to unwittingly try and drown the "undeclared" occupant.

Mobile Networks use symmetric keys for mutual authentication. You need the same key both in SIM and the carriers database.

What I guess you mean is, you buy an inactive SIM from Vodafone (which has Vodafone-known keys on it), and then you’re telling Vodafone to use that card.

By „bring your SIM“ I thought of something non-branded and was surprised.

Essentially that is what’s happening with eSIM, hence the need for the provisioning step that also makes transferring hard.
> saw one cookie consent form with red meaning "on", and green meaning "off".

Cookie consent forms are specifically designed with all sorts of misleading and user-hostile patterns, so I would not take them as an example of anything. I'm sure there are consent forms out there with checkboxes where checked means no.

Vector* vector_create(size_t itemSize) {

void vector_init(Vector *v, size_t itemSize) {
v->itemSize = itemSize;
// ...
}

Instantly cleaner, more efficient, less memory allocation/handling needed, lets the user control where the Vector is stored.
It's a mystery, it's almost as if people have spent decades optimizing it.
Let's take Germany as an example. The German nuclear plant operators made a deal with the state in 2017 for it to take responsibility of the waste. They paid 23 billion to wash their hands of their own product, and the estimate is that it will cost over 100 billion. But again, it's the tax payers' problem now. [1]

Let's take Britain as an example. It has a nuclear waste storage facility in Sellafield that costs billions every year to run and the price for the final solution is anyone's guess, again we are talking about hundreds of billions - 263 billion pounds is the latest estimate to be exact. [2]

Let's take Finland as an example, which is a smaller country. It plans to dispose of the waste in a specially built nuclear facility that cost billions. They will then depose 300 caskets there made of thousands of tons of iron and copper, again costing billions.[3]

Now whatever the cost of solar panel disposal will be, I am pretty sure the number will not be 100 billion and it will not be 23 billion either. And it will not be a really big issue what to do with it, and the vast majority of it will likely be recycled.

Is the proficiency score you're talking about defined at the US level, or is the same proficiency test used by other countries as well?

A scoring system is only useful when comparing parts of the entire population. If the score is only used in the US, for example, then it's only really useful for comparing states relative to each other.

When looking at the entire population and saying US students only pass the US proficiency test 20% of the time, there's no relative comparison to look at. We could simply change the test or the scoring system if we wanted a higher or lower result in the population.
It’s just a part of proliferating corruption and stupidity into all areas of life, science included.

> This kind of comment is defeatist and demotivating

I apologize if that was the impression, I didn't want to offend anyone nor discourage anyone from hoping to see one day more people becoming aware of the lack of privacy in closed devices; actually if there's someone who is becoming discouraged it's me. I often see people complaining on the lines of "hey, I was chatting about this the other day and now I receive advertising for the same thing", and every single time either they don't care or they're convinced that the next OS/app/contract/whatever version will magically solve every privacy/security problem. How can one hope to raise awareness about the benefits in adopting open platforms if so many users either don't give a damn or can be convinced that security and privacy are a product and not a process?
That doesn't mean I'm giving up, but I'm fully aware that today and in this world nobody would be insane enough to design, manufacture and distribute a fully open platform; there's just not enough incentive to do that.
