> If it's unpaid traffic tickets, then I do think it makes sense to suspend the license

In a society as car dependent as ours, this is tantamount to a loose house arrest sentence, and worth noting that it still falls in exactly the same way as your original point about how outrageously stupid it is to levy fines and then interfere with someone's ability to earn due to failure to pay those fines. Not to mention, in that aforementioned society, you can't not drive. So of course these people are driving illegally, and then they can be cited for that which will give a fresh case for yet more fines, more fees, and more court dates for them to miss.

And before you say "well it should prevent people from breaking traffic laws!" there is in fact a wide body of evidence showing that stiffer punishments for any crime does extremely precious little to affect the rate of offense.

No, it's quite clear these laws are designed to turn poor people into a steady revenue source for the cities and counties that have budgets to balance, same as it always was. It's a perfect solution: they have fewer resources to fight the tickets or the unfair circumstances, their low position in society means nobody gives a shit about them, they usually can't afford legal representation, they'll have a harder time making court dates and paying balances, and as such, municipalities get to drown them in all kinds of bullshit fees and charges, and if they still fail to pay, then they get to throw them in prison to boot. Another set of hands to work in the only method we have for legal slavery these days.

This practice is fucking grotesque.
There's several interesting stories like Adam's.

In the early 1600s a number of Dutchmen ended up in Joseon Dynasty Korea, which was still recovering from a series of devastating invasions from Japan which ended in 1598 (which are also talked about in the show Shogun). Desperate for military advancement, these foreigners, while entering an officially closed kingdom, where integrated into society as military advisors. The geopolitical realities that are in the show very much affected the region, and the introduction of Christianity, first by the Catholics, and then by other denominations has had profound impacts in East Asia through today.

- in 1627 the Dutchman Jan Jansz Weltevree and some of this crewmates ended up marooned in Korea where they were asked to produce artillery for the Joseon dynasty. Weltevree took a Korean name, got married, has some children and even passed the Korean civil service exam becoming a proper Korean official. [1]

- in 1653 his countryman Hendrik Hamel shipwrecked in Korea with almost 40 other crewmates and eventually met Weltevree who helped translate for them. Like his compatriots, they were tasked with being military advisors.

Hamel eventually escaped Korea and made it back to Amsterdam by way of Nagasaki in 1668 where he published his journals, marking the first Western contact with Korea that was reported back to Europe. [2][3]

- Predating Adams by just a few years, in 1579, an African arrived in Japan with a Jesuit mission. He became a retainer to Oda Nabunaga, one of the three unifiers of Japan. He had a brief but interesting career as a Samurai and was given the name Yasuke, then when Nabunaga fell went back to the Jesuits.

- The Catholic missionary work in Korea started by the Jesuits in 1593, and like Japan became a powerful political and economic force. The Joseon dynasty had enough of it after a while and attempted a series of major purges, killing thousands of converted Catholics until the 19th century. The Church has continued to be a source of revolutionary support in South Korea up until the modern 21st century. But most Korean Christians are not-Catholic today as later missionary groups from other denominations were less politically threatening and seen as potential balances of power against the Catholic influence in Korean. Very notably, Pyongyang was the seat of Presbyterian Christianity before the civil war, and it's well understood that the founders of North Korea, the Kim family, were once a notable Presbyterian family with a few ministers in the line.

It's a 1min game, called "bullet" (faster than "blitz" which is already a fast format where people can sometimes beat much better player). The game is here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw5zBnhgqgk

The kid is good, almost 3000 rated at this age is impressive. Magnus is far from unfamiliar with this format as well so beating Magnus is not nothing. But this format involved some luck and a 3000 rated player (online) will take some games from Magnus, sometimes. It's not a slower, over the board game where almost nobody has a chance against Magnus. It's pretty much a different game.
I don't know much about formal
verification, but I had expected that it considers the most basic behaviour of the most basic data types we have at the very least. Integer overflow as one of wrap-around, saturation or invalid state (UB in the real world) is a bar so low that I do not know what formal
verification that doesn't consider it would be useful
for all.

Twitter's Tumble
Community Focused Platform – Opinion Needed
Hi respected members. My name is Kanwar, I am a cofounder at a platform that we are developing with a focus on community and events. The platforms allow you to add your family, and friends and find events you can visit based on your hobbies and interests. However, the twist is so, that you can also create a community—for example, the Stanford Book Club. You can either make the community private or public. Other users can join your community and you can host events within that community. For example, within the community (book club) you hosted an event about reading the lord of the rings and have community members join that event. The event can be virtual, hybrid or in-person. You can also share other events you found within the community and find members to go with. If you are an content creator, you can post content make a community channel and monetize it. You can host private meet ups, directly sell your events, courses etc. or add links to your affiliates. The idea is allow people to make a community, and stay connected. Even if you do want to join or make a community, you can also watch content from your favourite content creators, artists, etc.
We really need your honest opinion on this:
1. Are there ways we can make this better?
2. Is there anything we are missing?
3. Your opinion on this project.
4. Would be interested in being a beta user?

I would really appreciate all your responses. Looking forward to hear from you. Thank you.
That’s an interesting point.

If some game announced you could only get it through an alternative app store, I wouldn’t play that game.

Banking is critical functionality on the other hand. Under those circumstances, I’d change banks. The likelihood of any major bank attempting that seems awfully low and I’m sure it’d attract the widespread condemnation it deserves.

Android has sideloading. I don’t doubt some apps try to push users to an alternative marketplace but important everyday apps are where you’d expect them to be.
> Tripping up hare-brained security scanning tools sounds like a perk tbh.

Heh, not a bad criticism. Though TBH, I think all DAST tools are hare-brained. They get sold as automated penetration tests, but they really can't figure out SPAs at all, since they often only look at the immediate response to an HTTP request, when often, you'd need to see exactly what the JS code does with the response and how it gets rendered in the page. Maybe a PUT/POST request to upload data returns a blank 200 OK, but only a follow-up GET request will actually show the result.

They end up with more false negatives than false positives. At best, they'll catch the low-hanging fruits involving missing headers that often lead to Beg Bounties like Clickjacking or missing HSTS.

The only reason DAST still exists is because compliance frameworks still list it as a checkbox. Otherwise, I think they're pretty useless.
Love the concept of this, are there any low hanging fruit of complicated workflows that are difficult to setup that you see as the first use cases? More thoughts here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7HXgiRuWzQ
You're probably right. We can hopefully get back the money, but there's no getting back the lost revenue. Missed the wire cutoff for today but guess I know what I'll be doing tomorrow.
I'm never fond of these sort of comparisons, because size does matter. Meta services billions of customers around the globe - a sizable chunk of the entire human species, with a defacto monopoly in terms of raw reach and scale. For them to be held to a higher standard than e.g. an Italian newspaper is not at all unreasonable.

In an ideal world the rules and regulations companies have to follow would be strongly correlated against their size, with penalties growing increasingly harsh for violations. In reality, it's the exact opposite. Small companies can get destroyed by even minor rule violations, whereas massive corporations will endlessly litigate out even absolutely overt violations, and even when they lose the cases after dragging them out endlessly, the penalties they face are entirely inconsequential - a few days of revenue at worst. That's just so wrong on so many levels.
Thing is, there’s so much reality distorting about him that it became self reinforcing tailspin. People spread libel > more people hate him > more people spread libel.

As far as I see, he’s same emotionally damaged man he was since he was a kid. Sometimes he counters sadness with focus, sometimes it leaks out.
Except when your sync function calls a function that makes the async runtime deadlock. No, there's no compiler error or lint for that. Good luck!
> Suspending a driver's license because of debt is an absolutely bone-headed idea.

There are people who have money, yet won't pay debts, unless you force them to. This system ostensibly was designed to solve this problem while at the same time ignoring the impact on low income people.

> If someone owes a debt to the government, garnish wages.

You've never had your wages garnished, have you? If you think suspension of a drivers license, which is just a temporary paperwork condition, is somehow preferable to actual taking of up to 25% of your income from your check, I'm incredibly surprised.

> designed to kick them while they're down and punish them for being poor.

Finally.. you shouldn't assume that all poor people are victims of some external circumstance. It's not a uniform "class" of people you can think of this way.
If you don't mind me asking, what is your and/or your wife's ethnicity?

Japan (and East Asia in general) are not exactly the most...accepting places to outsiders.

That's not to say you'll be treated rudely or with hostility. People are in general, quite nice and polite. But you'll always be "that outsider/foreigner".

In one respect, this is advantageous as it could shield you from some of the worst aspects of the corporate culture by way of the "oh, it's because he's the foreigner" excuse. But by the same token, you'll also always be "the foreigner".

> Re-reading, I notice the article doesn't state the source of the debt. If it's unpaid traffic tickets, then I do think it makes sense to suspend the license, but an afternoon of traffic school should suffice for most moving violations. If it's unpaid taxes, hell no.

From the article:

Third party creditors are permitted to [ab]use this system. Sounds like it's not just traffic tickets.

If you'll allow a quick gripe, at the social scale, we hold an inconsistent view of work, morals, and economics.

1. Does the economic system allow for full employment.

2. If not, then it stands to reason that among the unemployed, a portion is temporarily unemployed and a portion is chronically unemployed.

3. Is it moral to blame the chronically unemployed for their unemployment if fill employment is unattainable?

4. If full employment is unattainable, and it's immoral to blame the chronically unemployed, then what purpose do unemployment punishments serve? Why make a system where someone is guaranteed to lose, and then punish the loser?

Unconscionable for a 1.3T company to behave this way towards a small business.
Serious question: as an average person, are those hardware security issues (rowhammer, spectre, meltdown) an actual risk?

My understanding with spectre and meltdown was that it was an issue for escaping VMs and similar attacks - something AWS engineers should care about, but not me
As a share of web clients, those are a rounding error. Phones dominate, with tablets, laptops, and desktops that haven’t been configured to never sleep, following.
If you have less than 50KB of CSS, inline it. (And if you have more than 50KB of CSS, you’re probably doing it wrong. Well, OK, maybe you’re inlining fonts too, that’s understandable. But if you have more than 50KB of other styles, you’re probably doing it wrong.)

Seriously, inlining is absurdly good for performance, even compared with a warm cache, and the threshold where external stylesheets or scripts perform better is surprisingly high, into the hundreds of kilobytes for some common markets.

The notion of critical CSS… it’s a defeatist attitude, trying to grasp back some squandered performance, rather than fixing the underlying problem.

I regret to say this is just based on casual experience and observation, not any methodical technique. I would really like someone to run with this concept and measure it more fully. I just doubt it’s going to be me.

A lot of SPAs do some level of client-side routing, so that if you open up the SPA and click on a link, rather than directing you to a different page, the app instead updates the URL with Javascript and renders the content of the new page. There are various benefits and drawbacks to this approach, but it's quite common, and you can find tools like React Router that are designed to support this client-side routing.

The problem is that when you only serve your app from `/`, and then the user navigates via the app to `/user/123`, the url gets updated, but if the user tries to reload the page, they'll end up on a 404 page because you're not serving the app from `/user/123`. There's a few ways to solve this, each again with tradeoffs, but one way is to have the server return 200 and the contents of the main page any time that the user requests an unknown route, under the assumption that the user is probably trying to navigate to a dynamic route handled by the frontend.
It's just more annoying to set up and isn't as widely known, and doesn't work on a per-pod basis.

> PID limiting is a an important sibling to compute resource requests and limits. However, you specify it in a different way: rather than defining a Pod's resource limit in the .spec for a Pod, you configure the limit as a setting on the kubelet. Pod-defined PID limits are not currently supported.
As I understand it, the "legacy" production capacity that the automobile manufacturers canceled/forfeited was (re)sold to other customers. When car sales picked up, the order books were full and there were were no immediately-available fabs.

That Linux has not only survived for so long, but thrived, is a true testament to the will, technical expertise, and product vision of community developers.

FOSS was founded on the principles of openness and collaboration, something that we need now more than ever, as the largest companies of the world have managed to weaken that resolve through slick marketing and anti-competitive practices.

Think of what truly open VR headsets, smartwatches, tablets and smartphones etc. would be capable of, the rich ecosystem of apps and capabilities that could exist - but greed is literally holding us back by decades.

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.

It was revolutionary, and many of the giants that exist now were built literally on the backs of that openness.

Hmm, not exactly. I can, however, absolutely guarantee that if we do keep the printing press open for geopolitical projects of various kinds, there will be too many dollars of no value in the future. It is a fate America might want to avoid.

Because I assume you know full well that is is not actually 5b. The amount is much greater[1].

Now, we can talk about priorities, which is fair.

> I'm absolutely sure that it is completely coincidental.

In the same way that the city streets in DC coincidentally lay out to the mason's square and compass shape. The forfathers of this city were probably travellers from the future that knew the significance of this event, and laid out the entire city based on it. They just forgot to carry the one somewhere, and missed the alignment

Jesus Christ, why are people around here always so obtuse?

Dave never claimed to have written the decompression routines. Nor does anyone care about that part. He wrote the explorer integration, that was the product: Browsing zip as if they were folders.

That's it. That's his claim. And that's the reality. Which zip library he used in the back is an implementation detail and doesn't matter in the least.
Oh, I know. I'm just saying that fact doesn't have any particular bearing on "how some underground purveyors understood and promoted their wares," and you cannot really unpack the non-parody aspects of a parody with only access to the parody itself.
Are heroic doses supposed to do something special? LSD always feels the same to me, whether it's 100ug or 500ug. Higher doses just last longer, but aren't any more intense.
What's the "sharp edge of the knife" here? For use of web sites, the assumption has been that the user agent is responsible for preventing websites, no matter how malicious, from performing harmful operations. Even before there was a formal concept of "sandboxing" this was the basic assumption, and the biggest violation of it always came from "hey, download this executable and run it on your machine".

Maybe someday we'll have sufficient app isolation that there will be no worries about the idea of running completely untrusted native-code apps on your device. But this is not that day.
Show HN: Strawpoll.ai – survey app with built in machine learning tools
Well I suppose that's subjective, I probably put my bias in there but I would say:

For mostly static or content driven sites, there are really nice static site generators now. I find Astro[1] really pleasant to use, offering the convenience of SPA framework tooling, while allowing me to build sites that run without the need for any client-side JavaScript but the option to into client-side JS as needed.

But also NextJS has a similar static export function, and of course there are many other great SSGs outside the JavaScript world like Hugo.

For dynamic web applications like the example from my comment I would just do server side rendering using your language and framework of choice, Phoenix, Rails, Next, Django, whatever.

In both cases the issue with 404 routes is avoided.

This happened to my dad ~20 years ago. His debt was unpaid child support, because he lost his job. In a sense the debt was owed "to me", and that punishment didn't help the situation worth a damn.
> I notice the article doesn't state the source of the debt. If it's unpaid traffic tickets, then I do think it makes sense to suspend the license

Yes, it's unpaid tickets and tolls. That's common in most states. If you have unpaid tickets or debts, you can't register your car. If you can't register your car, you get more tickets.

I'm not sure why you changed your opinion of this being "the worst thing ever" to "it's fine" because it's based on fees instead of taxes. Either way it has the same impact on the poor.
