Apparently it’s still allowed in Australia for agricultural uses. That might change this year. https://www.apvma.gov.au/resources/chemicals-news/chlorpyrif...

Looking at the intersection [1], what a badly designed mess it is! You have 2 bike lanes disappearing into the intersection without any sort of protection. Cars can be parked right up to the ped crossings, potentially obscuring what is happ

What are you talking about? All road users do have different rules for using the road: peds, cycles, scooters, motorcycles, cars, cargo trucks, buses, trams, etc. all have specific rules applying to them.

Don't forget that Australia has EFTPOS and most debit cards are co-branded. The RBA is pushing for transactions to be routed over EFTPOS when possible [1]. And obviously, NPP continues to be rolled out: Osko is now widely available and

Not disagreeing with your overall point, but symbol collision is still very much an issue with dynamic linking on Linux right? AFAIK, the gnu dynamic linker doesn't do any namespacing (as opposed to Solaris').

I agree the global experience WeWork provides is really unique. The question is whether that product would have ever been sustainable—had the company been better managed.

You just have to realise that given enough scale everything turns proprietary anyway. The difference being whether you are internally maintaining your special snowflake, or else paying for a solution maintained for you by a 3rd party.

I feel the same way. Python has been my goto language for a long time, but lately I've been noticing that I've been holding off on writing new tools with it because on the back of my mind I have this nagging feeling that making th

100% agreed. Car lanes in the city consume a significant public resource (space) and encourage negative externalities (noise, heat, air pollution, etc.). They should absolutely be replaced with more space efficient options: tram tracks &am

I think it's important to separate rural and suburbia. I agree that the sense of community can be high in rural areas. People who live there can be very strongly rooted in the place. Depopulation is taking its toll though. Suburbia on

I agree. They have weird food safety standards! Especially when it comes to the fermented stuff. Cheese is a good example: most of the good stuff is severely restricted in the US. Idem for cured meat—they mostly don't allow non-pink sa

That doesn't make any sense to me. Most instructions are not atomic, so even if you had runtime checks something like a debugger could still inject invalid state in between your checks, making them ineffective. If real-time code inject

Exactly. It sounds like currently there's no money to be made supporting old embedded devices (in the consumer space at least), because no one is on the hook for long term maintenance. Regulations _could_ change the incentives, and cre

As an ex-Novell/SUSE employee this makes sense to me. Upstream is supposed to keep marching onwards. Backporting is _so_ much work. And it's unfortunately not sexy work either, so it's always going to be hard attracting unpai

The tech is still rapidly evolving though—I'm not sure it's realistic to expect standardisation here for a while. Manufacturers are experimenting with form factors, perf-to-weight ratios, noise levels, weatherproofing, connectivit

Looks like the OP is still in high school. Kudos to them for pushing through, and having fun with compiler internals. I wish I had this level of dedication at that age...

AWS will start charging for most IPV4 addresses next year [1]. And I'd expect other cloud providers to follow AWS' lead here. This could provide the needed push for the Industry to switch. [1] https://aws.amazon.com&#x2

This tool isn’t doing anything particularly complex. It sets up a new pty, attaches the child process to it, listens for OSC52 control codes, and calls pbcopy when appropriate. You can wrap your ssh session with it and you’re done. It’s ver

Ideally, you want people deeply familiar with the original codebase doing the rewrite. What usually happens instead is that the rewrite happens because the original code has been handed off to a new set of people. They're not deeply fa

It depends on the definition of UNIX, but typically Linux doesn’t count as UNIX. You can draw a continuous—if very torturous—line between Bell Labs’ UNIX original codebase and modern macOS/iOS.

Not OP, but I found there's a sort of bell curve with Linux support on laptops. Initially your hardware is likely very new, so some things won't quite work out of the box. Then, assuming you bought a popular piece of hardware, thi

It's challenging to restart a service without dropping connections with xinetd. Even more so when the process is misbehaving, has children, and is not exiting cleanly.

Europe is a big place, but indeed I'd say in most of EU using SMS to communicate between people is a bit old school. I'd say most people have moved to WhatsApp (or equivalent). SMS is typically used for notifications-style messagi
