They did investigate. A guy was stabbed nearby, and the car was suspected to be recording. On a more practical level, the car was recording a public area (ie. the road) anyways, so it's not like that much privacy was lost by granting access to the video.

There will always a use for surplus energy. Are you really going to curtail surplus solar in the summer when you could just build storage for it? That’s the profit maximizing solution, even if the efficiency isn’t high. It just needs to be cheap.
Yeah I'm curious if the Markdown form syntax here is totally new or if other people have done something similar. I'm building an app that extends Markdown with Excel-like formulas (think function calls, not arithmetic) and have considered having formulas that instantiate form elements.
Well sometimes it's not actually MysteryObject. It's actually some special type like SpecificCaseMysteryObject that's been unified inside of MysteryObject but only MysteryObject is in the signature.
>Very much this. Towing by the police should only be something done when the car is in violation of something.

If the police has a search warrant for your home and you're not there, they can break in, even if you're not "in violation of something". I don't see how this is any different.

> For an essay that hinges on the notion that “art requires making choices,” I wish the author had chosen to delve a bit more into the question of what choosing is.

For an essay that hinges on the notion that "art requires making choices", and attempt to apply this to AI image generation, and even specifically tries to draw a contrast between that and photography, I wish the author demonstrated even a superficial knowledge of what choices go into AI art and how it compares with photography, much less delving into the kind of deep philosophical examination of the underlying premise that you propose. But it looks like exploring the subject beyond the shallowest text-box-only UIs presented by a few big firms is too much to ask before the author does exactly what he says was naively done early on about photography.

Seat61 definitely helped me set expectations for my trip, Last month I took a Paris-Berlin-Vienna-Venice-Paris loop utilizing the nightjet for 3 overnight trains in a row thinking the cost was at least offset by not needing a hotel each night, but alas, a hotel would have been money well spent as I spent that leg of the trip in a sleep deprived daze !

On the bright side I got the experience of groggily asking a German border guard "what's up?" before I had a handle on why my makeshift curtain was being pulled aside at 3am

If the police sees the dashcam and suspects that there's footage on there, they can apply for a search warrant and seize that footage as well. It's unclear why they needed to tow the tesla in the first place. The article says that the footage is on a USB drive, so presumably they could just pull it out and make a copy. If they're towing it because they couldn't locate the owner and want to open the car non-destructively, then your suggestion of not driving a dashcam and using a tesla probably isn't going to save you either.
Where did you go to?
I don’t particularly think subtyping is harmful. It can be misused, but everything in programming can be misused.
Yeah. I’ve been trained to aspnetcore in my previous job. Saying I wasn’t hyped is an understatement. Then I had to work with it for more than a year.

I discovered two things :

- 1 ) I was wrong : it’s a very good and really well designed framework. I have a huge respect for the engineers behind it. It’s easy to work on all the layers you need. It’s also easy to ignore every layers you don’t need.

- 2) The documentation is awful. And I don’t mean the inline documentation : every method of the framework is very well documented in code. However the online docs, the one which should guide you and make the pieces click together is a real pain to navigate, is poorly written, and that’s when it exists.

Fortunately I also discovered that there is a very welcoming community in the ecosystem. Mostly composed of people who discovered at their $job that the tech was indeed cool but that Microsoft is shitty when it comes to be friendly.

Along these same lines, the tabletification of Mac OS is annoying. A friend asked me to help with importing photos from the Apple Photo app on his brand new desktop Mac.

The sequence of events was:

Lightroom Legacy needs photos imported because the new Lightroom (cloud/subscription version I believe) has a different workflow, interface and apparently, features, so he's using both for the time being.

So he follows guides on Adobe to import from iPhoto through a plugin.

I had to learn after much google-fu that iPhoto has been replaced by the new Photo app. No compatible libraries found, says the unhelpful error message.

No way to import his Photos library into it without first exporting all photos into a separate folder and importing that one into Lightroom Legacy. Why there is no compatibility shim/layer for that functionality I will never understand...

He refuses to export and reimport all his photos because he has A LOT of them. He does photography as a hobby primarily, but has been using his iPad and iPhone for a while without a Mac PC and was astonished at not being able to do such a simple process.

Part of my troubleshooting involved looking for a potential directory where the Photos app stored the files. It's some sort of package file that creates what seems to be the equivalent of a virtual directory. So I search for the Mac Drive icon... that took me to google, to then Finder, settings, and enable showing the drive. Why the hell does Apple hide the frigging storage device?!!! (I know why... but it's maddening)

One more reason to never want to use or support any Apple product in the future.

It's a false promise I stopped believing many years ago. No type system will replace docs or even comments. No type signature will give you the why, the big picture or the context. The day I stopped believing in the possibility of "self-documenting code" was the day I started writing more readable code.
Right, we can and in some domains we absolutely should, prefer languages which are specialised to only be able to express programs which match some simple model of what we intended. You cannot invent a wholly new idea this way, but you often don't want new ideas.

WUFFS is an example of this, the WUFFS JPEG decoder decodes JPEGs, duh, but even if you deliberately sabotaged it, your sabotaged decoder just... decodes JPEGs wrong, maybe now they all decode to the Goatse image. It not only can't escape to execute arbitrary code, it can't do much of anything outside of the task we intended, all the resulting runtime bugs (for which you need unit tests) are things like oops the grass is blue, or the decoder rejects this 1x1 image even though it's valid. No "Segfault" no "Ooh it truncated the file instead of reading it", those aren't things we want, so no need to be able to express them.

For example I think a lot of big data work could use such a language. Data goes in, processing happens, data comes out. No "Oops, it wiped the hard disk on nodes 6, 18 and 24, I wonder why". No weird interactions with the OS that weren't catered for, just data in, processing, data out, which is what the people using these things always want.
> HAOS is absolutely terrible when it faces filesystem corruption. I faced this a few times when my HAOS image crashed. You can't even get it to fsck on boot when it happens.

I don't see this as being unique to HAOS, if a filesystem is corrupted in a certain way then _no OS_ is going to be able to boot.

There are distros that are specifically optimized for the Pi (with, eg specific logging choices [1]) that try to avoid problems (with trade-offs).

I've used something before (can't remember/find it now, but maybe thought it was in Yocto?) where there were 3 partitions: one was read-write used for persisting user data, and two were for the OS/apps. One would be live and mounted as read-only, the other was for the next system update using a blue-green deploy strategy. I think it also used RAM for log and temp files.

Though arguably, the fact that in order to mutate data from multiple threads, the compiler,forces you to use some synchronization primitive, results in you having to think about how you are going to synchronize access, which should lower the chance of race condition bugs overall.

The author talks about some bearish points but all points he presents are far from the $650 market cap that Tesla is boasting. A billion here and a billion there does not take a "practically" broke company to a trillion dollar valuation.

There is more at play here. I think it's mania and a strong case of the market can remain irrational longer than the short can remain solvent. Tesla, at the current fundamentals, is worth much less than $650Bn. How is that possible and how one takes a company with y value to 10.y is still not yet answered.

Maybe Elon Musk is not a fool after all. He did buy Twitter at a big mark up. But if momentum drove his market cap and he can capitalize on that through the stock market then buying Twitter does make sense: It's backed by Tesla stock but the Tesla stock itself is backed by Twitter.

That's because it's not really OOP. If you're struggling with using the latest .NET conventions, then perhaps you are still thinking in terms of deep inheritance, polymorphism, constructors, and rich object models.

The modern ASP.NET focus on repositories, middleware, service factories, and moving context around in data transfer objects lends itself to a different architecture and arrangement of code that more closely mirrors the stateless needs of the web, where not only are the front end and back end separate applications, but the client is entirely untrustworthy. That's very different than the expectations when OOP was originally envisioned.
Needed? No - it is ultimately a control mechanism that could also be handled within the team itself, not enforced by Jira. But it is helpful - maybe you have a new team that needs some guide rails. Maybe you open up the board to your organization and want free flowing cards into the board, but a gate on cards actually getting assigned to the dev team without a leader checking it out first. There are numerous situations where it could be applied, none of which are critical, many of which are helpful.

>This might be setting a new precedent though. I'm making assumptions here, but I'd have thought that search warrants were historically used at locations where the suspect lived / worked / frequented.

Search warrants exist to give police access to evidence when there's probable cause. Often times this is "at locations where the suspect lived / worked / frequented", but there's nothing in the jurisprudence that limits it to those areas. The standard is "probable cause" in any case.

>Even at premises not owned by the suspect, the police turning up and requiring all the security footage doesn't deprive the premise owner of anything. Towing away an innocent law-abiding citizen's car for a matter entirely unrelated to them seems like it's massively overstepping the line set by any previous precedent.

They can and do break into premises, even if they're "an innocent law-abiding citizen", if the owner isn't there to allow them access onto the premises. The article specifically mentions that they only tow the car if they can't contact the owner, which seems consistent with that.

I don't have to make arrangements to go get my home when it is searched. Also, if you're searching my house, more than likely, I'm directly involved in something. They don't break into my house to get my Ring footage, which is much more equivalent in your attempt equating these disparate concepts. You've now made an innocent civilian incur ridiculous fees to get their car out of impound when there was no reason to impound it to begin with.

You could just as easily boot the car and wait for the owner to return. It's not like this was a long term parking spot. There are just so many options other than tow this innocent car.

This is only a recent part of the economy that the world would not collapse if we went back to a time of it not being part of the economy. Just because something is does not mean that it should. There are plenty of historical example of where something was that was not right that took time so that eventually what is is now no more.
