According to Road To Nowhere, the OPLC report this article's sources (the Fines and Fees Justice Center and the Free to Drive Campaign) are based on, in 2020 there were 1,133,810 suspended drivers in the system:

22.8% (258,730) were license forfeitures. When a person is charged with a misdemeanor driving offense and either does not show up to court or fails to pay the fine.

4.8% (54,802) were judgement suspension. When a person causes property damage or personal injury due to a car crash and is fined, and does not pay the fine.

6.7% (75,906) were child support suspensions. Self explanatory.

59.9% (679,014) were non-compliance suspension. Non-compliance suspensions is when the driver is asked to provide proof of insurance at a traffic stop or scene of an accident and does not.

3.8% (43,630) were random selection suspensions. Random selection suspension is when they take a random sample of people shown in their system to not have vehicle insurance and ask them to provide proof of insurance, and then they do not.

1.9% (21,728) were security suspension. Security suspension are people with active criminal warrants.

Additionally there are "blocks" (527,058) where a person has a valid license or registration but cannot renew it either due to an outstanding warrant (378,523) or unpaid court fines (148,538).

As someone who was struck and injured by an uninsured driver, not only should uninsured drivers have their licenses suspended, any vehicle they are found operating or in possession of regardless of who owns it should be shredded and recycled with the scrap value going to a fund to compensate victims.

edit: also, I have been driving for 30 years and never been issued a ticket, been at fault in a crash, or had a single insurance claim except for chipped windshields. My insurance is so low I don't even know how much it costs. It is my assertion that operating vehicle in a manner that avoids accidents, fines, and court cases is easy, especially since I'm entirely average in my abilities, and I have very little sympathy for those who cannot do so.
People get tickets for violating motor vehicle laws. These laws exist to protect all users of the road. If you can't follow the rules, you don't get to operate a vehicle that can easily kill other users. The only issue with license suspensions as a result of unpaid tickets, is that you can pay the ticket to buy your way out - an issue most places rectify by having a points system, so that drivers can't violate the law repeatedly just because they can pay.

> On places people have no other ways to move around, this is a human rights violation. Nothing less.

By this argument, driving tests should be illegal too. Or age limits on licensing. Or fees to renew plates or permits. If there's a "human rights violation", it's letting motorists known to repeatedly violate the law (putting my life in danger) continue to operate a vehicle.
Early developmental biology (by “early” I mean early pregnancy) is the shit you Do Not Touch. Each step of development is highly dependent on the previous steps (assuming this bit’s here, that bit’s there, etc.). If you make a change it’s extremely likely to be fatal or have negative consequences like birth defects, and the likelihood of a bad outcome climbs steeply as you move the change earlier and earlier in the process. That’s why pretty much every animal - humans, tigers, whales, lizards - looks the same when they’re a teeny tiny little fetus.

My example is testicles! Testicles begin in the same place as ovaries, which made a lot of sense back when we were coldblooded! Having a pair of balls dangling in a soft pouch between your legs isn’t a strategy you adopt if you can help it. In the alternate timeline where lizard people rose to dominate the earth instead of humans they don’t have “Ouch, I’ve been hit in the balls!” humor.

But the testicles form next to the kidneys early on in the developmental process (and as we’ve established, you don’t fuck with those stages), so they have to migrate south VERY late in the development! Because they SCHLOOP on down after everything else is pretty much in place, it weakens the abdominal wall, which is why men are more prone to certain types of hernias than women are.

Don't feel obligated to answer, but how has LiveView changed DockYard's approach to PWAs? Are you still pro-PWA? Do you still see (much) room for PWAs in a LiveView world?
Wow. What an embarassing answer by the "Berkeley Student Tech Services"...

That is on the same level as e.g. the customer hotline at a phone company ("did you try turning it off and on again?"), I would have thought that Berkeley of all university has higher standards than that
The right I am referencing is that to self-governance.
By that logic, do you also believe everyone should be allowed to drive without any liability insurance? Just like speeding tickets, it is also a cost imposed around behavior that is considered to be endangering other people.

At what point does a hypothetical/rare edge case of "trapped unable to travel anywhere unless I drive my own vehicle so I need to be allowed to do it badly" overwhelm the the commonplace issue of bad-driving causing harm?
I’m including only actually competent, full time editors, with sufficiently high reputation that their decisions will be taken seriously. There’s definitely not 50000 of those.

A huge number of journals by numerical count, along with their ‘editors’, are literally laughed at in many fields.

As you’ve mentioned, trying to expand the actually reputable number by 10x, 20x, etc… is a huge problem.

Hence it has to be paid for, quite highly paid for, otherwise the coordination problem is probably impossibly difficult.
WiringPi fixes ISR issues in latest Linux kernels
That doesn’t really stack up as an argument. From 2004 to 2014 Apple used the “double-Irish” tax arrangement to shield 110B USD of profits from taxation, EU corporation tax is about 20% (taken as an average over all the countries), which would amount to about 22B USD of “unpaid” taxes. Since 2014 Apple’s revenues have doubled, if their profits have done the same, and they’re following the same broad profit margin and tax avoidance schemes (and everything suggests they do), then Apple’s “unpaid” tax is at least 66B USD.

Apple’s global revenue for 2023 was about 400B USD, and the DSA caps the fines at 10% of global revenue, so 40B USD for Apple. It’s very unlikely that Apple will be hit with a maximum out of the gate, that’s not really how these regulators work (you want to make sure you can always issue a bigger fine later).

How is clawing back at most 57% of the unpaid taxes, in a one time fine, a good strategy for tax revenue? And of all the big tech companies, Apple has the lowest profit margin at a mere 25%, Facebook has higher margins of 30-35%, so the fines make even less sense a tax clawback mechanism there.

All of that is of ignoring the fact the EU and European Commission isn’t a federal government, and doesn’t have any tax revenue at all. Member states charge tax (or not in the case of Ireland), but the EU as an entity most certainly does not. Indeed countries like Ireland have been fighting tooth and nail against EU to avoid clawing back taxes.

So in reality, the idea the DMA is about tax revenue simple doesn’t stack up. It doesn’t stack up economically, it doesn’t stack up politically, and it doesn’t stack up practically either.
The US federal government also officially recommends using an ad blocker to protect oneself from e.g. ransomware and fraud, and has issued a warning that online ads are being used for those things:

While a chargeback is effectively the right move, most large companies have extremely heavy handed responses to it even if it's to correct their error you've made good faith effort to resolve.

As I think someone else mentioned, that would be a no brainer if you had no expectation of every doing business with them again but I wouldn't do that in this case.
The article suggests using NFC normalization as a simple solution, but fails to mention that HFS+ always does NFD normalization to file names, and APFS kinda does not but some layer above it actually does (https://eclecticlight.co/2021/05/08/explainer-unicode-normal...), and ZFS has this behavior controlled by a dataset-level option. I don't see how applying its suggestion literally (just normalize to NFC before saving) can work.

For vim users, check out vim-slime[1]. It's really changed my workflow! It can work for any language that uses a REPL, including bash/shell. Combined with tmux, it is an amazing and (in hindsight) obvious tool. I honestly can't imagine myself going back to not having it now.

I read it, but you apparently don't understand what's actually happening. While NATO had some preliminary discussions with Ukraine they are not actively moving through the accession process. Every major NATO leader has been clear that the territorial dispute with Russia will have to be settled one way or another before Ukraine can officially join. So, you're being ignorant or disingenuous by bringing up an obligation to fight in the ground in Ukraine.

As for Georgia, they are a sovereign state and can make their own decisions. If they want to join and meet the criteria then let them join. How is Georgia any different from Finland in that regard?

A policy of aggressive containment keeps us safer by wasting Russian resources. When we surround them with hostile powers they have to spend more on defending their homeland and have less for building nuclear weapons or launching invasions. Keep them poor.

And anyway you haven't even proposed a viable alternative. There's no point in negotiating with Putin: he doesn't negotiate in good faith. Even if we gave him huge concessions now he would just come back and demand more in a few years. Nor are we in a position to be able to offer the type of concessions that Russia seems to want. Ukrainian territory and Georgian sovereign freedom of action aren't ours to give away. The citizens of those countries will have to decide for themselves.

One slightly related thing you can do is to test the API with schemathesis[0]

If this is the nano version then let me share the pico alternatives with you:

* BusyBox httpd [1]

* thttpd [2]

* Lwan Web Server [3]

* gatling [4]

I built and maintain a super tiny Docker image (~158KB) for serving static files [5]. My current implementation is based on Busybox httpd and scratch but I also tried out thttpd in the past, which worked well but came with a high memory footprint in some cases. thttpd was used to serve big projects back in the day but it doesn't seem maintained any more. The other two projects were on my list of things to try out. All these projects should compile to binaries <500KB.

By comparison nano-web builds a 18.5MB image on my machine. In my experience you can't go below 5-6MB with Alpine (scratch is the way to go if you can compile statically) and you can't go below ~500KB with Golang or Rust, at least not for serving http requests (C or ASM is probably the way to go).

Note that I'm not saying that small is always better, it probably depends on your use case and there are reasons for using nginx for a static website as well.

I thought this was something obvious that everyone did? I was definitely doing this 15+ yrs ago when I built web services. It's the only path of sanity when you have to support multiple versions at the same time.

Neither the article, nor the linked articles, address how to handle actual breaking changes.

E.g. when you _require_ new fields that are not present in the old API, you can't just hard-code a default value for the old API and use it forever. You must migrate clients to a new API and deprecate the old. Rolling versions doesn't magically solve that.

I admit, most required fields can be defaulted and clients accept the resulting degraded experience/features. This approach does make you really think about what's actually a breaking change or not, and if it's worth the cost.

You shoulda decided whether this is a "economic sanction" infraction or a "we can't let you drive for safety reason" infraction. If you decided it's the former, you shouldn't get to change it to the latter just because it turns out the driver can't pay.

Interestingly, I had a similar workflow in the past where I wanted to edit scripts with vim and have liveview reload them. I tried to ask for this and even offered to work on a PR, but they weren't interested (at the time at least, this was a couple of years ago).

Email is good for a very particular set of things. Those things (including the way it is open and standardized) also make it very very bad for a lot of other things.

For example, I don't need a spam filter on my discord. My signal is actually encrypted reasonably and provides reliably secure communication. I can send things like gifs and emoji in-line in a reliable, cross-platform way. Group communication isn't cursed, "top- or bottom- posting" isn't a thing people discuss.

Requiring people to build only on widely accepted standards prevents any kind of innovation in features, because before you can ratify anything, you have to get it approved by everyone else, which means that you're now in a land of super-ultra-waterfall design-by-committee that gives everyone the least-common-denominator communication features. That isn't good.
It's probably a much simpler answer. Why set up a bunch of plumbing and networking inside a dam if you don't need it? Many (most?) were built before the internet, as well. And I don't think they generally are staffed around the clock. Any more complexity than you need is a waste of money.
the private debts are failure to pay court ordered child support; and failure to pay for damage or injuries caused by a motor vehicle crash that you were found responsible for by a court.
> Sometimes though I think it might be fun to try building a display controller on a few big breadboards.

I haven't found a full schematic or analysis anywhere, but I've been tempted a few times to try replicating some incarnation of Alpha Denshi graphics hardware. It's the lineage that led to the Neo Geo hardware, and for any given generation has some impressive capabilities despite being built (AFAIK) entirely out of memories and standard logic chips.

I guess it would be more practical to start with some really minimal hardware like Minivader or Dottori-kun (which, legend has it, were created entirely due to an odd regulation requiring arcade cabinets to be sold as "complete" units, and expected to be thrown out by the buyer), but that's not as fun (and IIRC they have some janky sync behavior that might not work on any display I own).

The solution is to disable JavaScript and not run any untrusted apps. And then move to a shack in the woods and live off the land, because you just cut yourself off from modern society.

That Linux is still mostly used as a server OS, and not as a viable OS by the general public is a true testament that there are things that matter to people that community developers don't care about.

>Think of the kids growing up now, forced to be consumers rather than producers. And compare them to the last century, the sense of wonder and expression that the internet and infinitely hackable devices brought.

Techie kids growing up now are on average an order of magnitudes better than their equivalent from last century. As a matter of fact, there are more great and creative coders nowadays compared to any time in history. Just look at the amount of open source projects on github.

Idealism that is as far disconnected from reality as yours is one of the issues plaguing FOSS today. I have no idea how your comment can be as upvoted as it is - maybe selection bias based on the nature of the article. It is still concerning though.
A single Unicode codepoint could be represented in a couple of different ways (either decomposed into 2 or as 1). Assume it’s the single codepoint representation.

The font you’re using can (and probably will) rewrite it as 2 glyphs using the GSUB table. This makes sense because it’s a more efficient way to store the drawing operations. The GPOS table is then responsible for handling the offset to put things in their right place.

Main point is that it’s up to the font to move things about.

Now, that may not be what was going on in your case at all but it’s possible.

I don't even know what to say about that. Unpaid child support due to a lost job should be self explanatory. Not sure:

A - Why taking your father's license was necessary?

B - How taking your father's license was supposed to help get the child support paid? (Assuming paying the child support was the ultimate goal.)

Just thinking there must have been some rationale behind laws allowing that to happen. It'd be interesting to get the explanation of that rationale from those who had a hand in enacting laws like this. Because on its surface, that seems like madness.

I thought that was the strongest point bought up so far, and the orders of magnitude do seem to check out. Although I'd note that Germany's electricity production has also drifted back to the 20th century and prices seem to be ~3x the USs and 5x China's so energy-related pressure still looks like a potential root cause to me.

I agree for the most part. A single traffic ticket, even unpaid, should not result in severe punishments. No loss of license, no jailtime, no additional fines, etc. It is too likely to escalate someone's existing financial problems.

Would you say the same for repeat offenders? A traffic ticket that does not carry the risk of a compounding punishment might as well not exist. I can agree with ignoring one traffic ticket, but I do think a "three strikes and you're out" rule should be in place to prevent people from taking advantage of the system's leniency.
This would work. And I have done this. You need a jtag port and the flash needs to be directly connected to the SOC/MCU/FPGA. This is similar to how EJTAG works but without ejtag, you need to specify the pins themselves. As long as all 16 data and addr pins are connected, this is possible.
