Generally, I wouldn't get in the water anywhere after Teddington Lock, because it gets very tidal, very quickly. I grew up and lived in that part of London and sections of Twickenham are regularly flooded, plus cars are regularly swept into the Thames at Richmond despite warnings and it's very quick.

This link covers that whole stretch: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.444296,-0.3255391,15z?entr...

I have ended up in Thames somewhere past London Bridge, I think, forced into wading through the mud to try and dislodge our dinghy that my perennially headlong friend had gotten stuck, and IT WAS NOT FUN, not even Type 2 fun.

At the other end, by Teddington Lock Bridge, kids are always in the water. There is a weir not far, which I regard as a "drowning machine" because it is, but the area is quite agreeable.

Here's the Teddington Lock section: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.4306101,-0.3207403,435m/da...

Isleworth Ait, seen here, is frequently so empty of water that one can see the boats keels lying on the bottom:

This spot is especially not to be fucked with, as conditions can change quickly and the treated sewage from Mogden Works ends up here. I love the Thames and have never lived more than a short walk from it, but I have a nervous respect for it, plus I am a rubbish swimmer.

If you’re a parent of a child suffering from a terrible genetic condition with what is effectively a miracle cure available, does it really matter to you if perhaps, hypothetically, someday—years later—a drug your government already deems safe is made available to you?

Prices aren’t static. Competitors enter the market. Governments are willing to offer more or less. Eventually, generics or biosimilars become available.

It’s 100% accurate that English and Canadian citizens were denied access to these new drugs until they ceased being “too expensive” (at which point they were no longer “new”).

US building codes aren't national but local. The local may point to one of the national association standards like the IBC or NFPA standards and such. But they then add/remove from those standards as they like.

This is a problem people need to take up on local level.

Sure, but that’s huge. And probably the reason some (or at least me) are becoming so disillusioned with the web. It’s why I find it hard to believe/trust what I read from news to health advice to product reviews. The noise numbs us to the point where it all starts to feel worthless. This may be one reason ChatGPT et al feel so novel. They get rid of the noise. Of course, they are all built on the back of that noise.

Nearly twenty five years ago, the DoJ nearly split Microsoft into two companies due to them abusing their position as an ecosystem gatekeeper. How did we go from that to the point where apple (or google even), acting both as gatekeeper and direct competitor, can dictate how another company can communicate things to its end users/customers?
It usually is not, most cards will allow software unlocking even if the hardware switch is off. You can run 'rfkill unblock all' on a Linux system to test it.

We used ECharts to build our charting library at Evidence and it’s been a great experience overall (https://evidence.dev).

We started with D3 and a few other tools, but felt that we get a lot more out of the box with ECharts, like interactivity and an events API. ECharts is also a lot more extensible than people give it credit for.

If anyone is curious, we documented the process of selecting a charting library after assessing several options: https://github.com/evidence-dev/evidence/issues/136

This only applies to Linux distro packages though right? Servers, embedded, mobile, etc only target specific kernels and so can avoid the backwards compatibility issues and in many cases have all of thr latest security patches.
The main thing I miss about the tech of usenet ( as opposed to the communities I've found and lost along the way) is that the most basic 3-panel usenet client is vastly superior to any web based forum or discussion system.

The splitting of the message hierarchy and message content into separate views is so obviously superior to hacker news style indenting or flat linear lists that it blows my mind no one recreates this in the modern age.
If the original account is to be believed, they did not know the owner’s passcode/PIN. The attackers gained remote access to a device without the passcode/PIN. This suggests it was not phishing.

It sounds like a legitimate usage of the word “hacked” to me. Maybe not the most critical vulnerability because they did not gain full access, but they managed to gain some level of control of the owner’s watch without their permission, and it sounds like the reason was not that they left it lying around unlocked (to be clear it sounds like they got control because the watch was unlocked in the owner’s wrist, but they were accessing it wirelessly- sounds like an issue with Apple’s security model that can be fixed).

AGPL does cause issues in various places, yes. But not in this specific case.

Quickly checking through license text (AGPLv3 as published on FSF website), following steps would have been enough:

1. Ability to view legal notice (does not have to be full, just reasonably visible)

2. A link that opens source of the code

3. AGPLv3 header in source code with notice of who and when modified it

Note that there's no need to explicitly advertise/attribute the creators in any more visible way. AGPLv3 also does not impact code that isn't derivative like all the SEO spam one's blackened heart puts on the site, especially when combined with modern "tag manager".

And we're explicitly talking about pathological cases from the start. To paraphrase oliwarner in this thread[1], we're dealing with people who are deliberately acting dickish.

I'll bypass discussion of BSD-licensed authors being burnt like that, because the legal situation was way more complex (before the GPL came on the scene) regarding a lot of BSD code (shortlist: 1) being derivative of other code 2) in at least one case being explicitly paid-for work with explicit "to be reused freely" conditions on the grant)

Probably because unlike 25 years ago, US lawmakers and enforcers, realized a large chunk of their economic dominance is dependent on big-tech abusing their market position as gatekeepers, so they intentionally look away when they see how much of their GDP these companies bring in, not to mention aiding the US dragnet mass-surveillance capabilities being the icing on the cake.

What else are they gonna do to earn $? It's not like the world is lining up to buy their ultra reliable and high quality cars and planes.

Sorry for the tongue in cheek.
A lot of the people here are much more experienced with technology, so our behaviour is going to be different, but I have a hard time understanding why someone would sign up for a forum as a first step for obtaining assistance. Calling the vendor, sure. Using vendor support options that connect me directly to their staff, sure. None of the people posting about the issue mention taking other prior steps in obtaining support (even though a couple of posts from established members say they should).

I suppose posting to the vendor forums is fine if you need support. On the other hand, I do not think it is an acceptable source of information about a security flaw in a product. There information provided is not verified. The sources are not verified. We don't know whether the details are true, a misinterpretation (innocent or malicious), or made up. In other words, there is no reason to trust what is being said. If I came in here suggesting that my computer was hacked, I would expect people to respond with similar incredulity. (I am simply someone who posts to a forum. There is no reason for people to trust anything I say, particularly if the posting doesn't contain detail on reproducing the problem.)

Cliff Stoll, the author of this piece, is best known for:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cuckoo%27s_Egg_(book)

"a first-person account of the hunt for a computer hacker who broke into a computer at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL)."

1989 - it started with trying to find the root cause of a 75 cent billing error on their shared computer system.

I highly recommend the book - I read it as a teen, and re-read it a couple years ago, it held up.
I think tailwind went a bit too far, but in general it’s really hard to have a controllable amount of css on huge projects. The reason is that selectors are often too broad and it’s not possible to say in general whether a particular selector is being used or not.

Atomic classes really shine in this aspect, since it’s really just what you have in html and nothing more.

Another fantastic quality is the fact that you can really tweak things slightly in the html and skip inventing a modifier class just for this particular situation.

I think bootstrap css hits a really sweet spot there, since they have lots of reusable components, which are very easy to use and extend and a huge bunch of utility classes to accommodate for exceptions. I know that’s not an argument for spas, since you have components there, but for server side templates that’s the best
Have you ever been inside of an industrial chicken house? Its absolutely, without a doubt, the most disgusting and depressing place I've ever personally seen. Even worse if you're unlucky enough to be there after a single case of avian flu is found anywhere in the area.

Chickens can be messy, but that's only an issue with free ranged birds if you don't have enough space for them. Most chickens won't venture too dar from their coop, usually on the order of a couple hundred feet. If you don't want chickens pooping all over your lawn and barn, just put their coop further out in the field (preferably near some trees for cover).

Rotational grazing is also really effective with chickens. Its more work, but you keep the birds where you want them and end up fertilizing your fields as you move them around.
Most of us manages very well not being violent, and have no desires or urges to be violent. Aren’t we humans then?
I think my original description - a foundational lib for generalized graphing libs - is more accurate than this. I mean, d3 is literally not a programming language. It's written in js, and used in js (ignoring ts/coffeescript, etc). It's a library that provides a large toolbox of useful functions for drawing, and for the kinds of math one needs when implementing a broad array of charts. One builds on top of it, and IME it is _rarely_ directly used. d3 describes itself as '[a] JavaScript library for bespoke data visualization'.

Wait…are they using RPA to automate interactions with ServiceNow? i.e. they’re controlling the ServiceNow UI? If so, that’s pretty terrible.

This kind of project baffles my mind. RPA should be used for situations when there is no API available, and from what I understand of the ServiceNow product, it has all kinds of APIs for automation use cases.

He's right. Apple has been strangling web app progress on iOS for many years. They wanted to ensure that web apps could never compete with native apps on the App Store, because they can extract their 30% fee. Now that Apple are forced to permit third party browser engines, web apps would suddenly be a lot more powerful. Apple just won't have that, so they're disabling a useful feature for everyone.

I think this will backfire on them. Downgrading their own feature offerings to spite the competition is only going to fuel more animosity by everyone: users, businesses, developers, and legislators. I feel quite firmly that their proposal to comply with the Digital Markets Act is non-compliant. The DMA requires free interoperability, and Apple has imposed a very anti-competitive fee. Once this is eliminated, developers will be free to distribute whatever native apps they wish, and at this stage there are a lot of developers who will jump to any other app store.

At scale? I don't think so. Most didn't care, I remember 80's magazines questioning CGI and predicting another death of true art (no soul! computers do the job for you!!1), but that's it. Others were fascinated by the novel gimmick. But the same is true for AI-generated imagery - nobody cares in general how the sausage is made, people care about the message and execution. As long as it's good, people like it.

And unlike with Toy Story/Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within/The Phantom Menace, this time there might not even be a novel gimmick/look to sell, as you'll be free to choose any style you like.

One of the issues is that your car makes it harder for other people to get around by bike or bus, or walking.

Also, if you price street parking appropriately people don't need to circle for blocks.

Should a store be forced to stock a product that has “This product is significantly cheaper if you buy it directly from the manufacturer” printed on the front of the package?
Regarding that last example: the important part is, it does not look the same, nor does it feel the same, since the image is not developed under that regime of light and emphasis and attention. (In a way, there is neither a sense to light, nor detail, nor attention, and, thus, to "how?". I may add, if I'm engaging with an image, beyond a first impression, "how" is to me more important than "what".) Similar aspects may be observed with text.

And, for you, as a writer: As you can't compete with generators on economic grounds, the productions of the former will probably become prevalent (if they are not already, in some niches). If input rejection becomes the default mode of reception, this may affect you, as well.

PS: In other word, a representation is not the real thing, it's a thing of its own in its own realm, raising the question of "what realm?".

As an illustration, here are two illustrations of my own, both representing real objects, drawn in (pre-AI) Photoshop from scratch, for interface purpose. The first is an actual application – mind the focus and guidance of attention and varying detail, the second one is just a draft, still lacking any such focus. This second one is quite similar to an AI generated image, as it lacks any purpose, thus, any reason to be there at all. (Besides that bit of light that is already in that image, it is offending in its neutrality. And there is really no point in publishing it, outside of this context.)

> Almost all companies which produce software under GPL or AGPL dual license with a commercial paid option that comes with no strings attached. Personally I find this disingenuous.

There was at least for a time a trend (or at least noted by some) of using AGPL with copyright assignment[1] as a trojan horse to force customers into commercial licensing once due diligence came in.

[1] I consider copyright attribution to be the big sin in this, not AGPL, even though I'm against AGPL on other grounds. I understand why FSF uses (used?) it, but it opens a way for exploitation of people's work in unequal ways.
That's a nice sounding story, but what actually happened was that George W. Bush was awarded the Presidency after a 5-4 Supreme Court vote stopped the recount in Florida, and the Bush DoJ announced a slap on the wrist for Microsoft just a few days before 9/11, which wiped the story off the map, and everyone forgot.

(I'm not suggesting a 9/11 conspiracy, by the way.)
I always wonder what happens with these fines. Does it get absorbed into the EU budget? Does it go to the customers/citizens who were disadvantaged? Or does it go schools or the disadvantaged?

Does Apple actually pay or does this end an endless court cases and thereby the fine is absorbed by the lawyers?
This is a good reason to charge appropriately for street parking.
I randomly started playing through Theme Hospital, and I'm now almost at the last level.

I must say: in general it hasn't held up very well. There are so many mechanics that are extremely poorly explained that are fundamental to the game. E.g. epidemics and earthquake/machine strength. Trying to micromanage all of the gameplay systems that are quite annoying to begin with doesn't end up being .. fun.

As a child I'm sure I liked it because it was goofy and approachable, but playing through it now I doubt I ever got through the levels where managing epidemics is important.
Oh, so it would make it even easier to just accept that the toot had some "unfortunate wording" in that respect.

Again, I do understand the other points. I have a lot of frustrations as a maintainer of (much smaller) open source projects (e.g. all those people that believe I work for them for free and who can come complain and pressure me because of a missing feature they don't even consider contributing). But I think that redefining "open source" is not the solution. On the contrary, IMO we need people to understand the meaning of those licenses better.
