I'm curious how shim avoids the issue Microsoft is concerned about. Presumably if the anti-Tivoization clause of GPLv3 would require a Secure Boot signing key to be provided on request, it also requires a MOK signing key to be provided

Having no brake lights for regenerative braking sounds incredibly dangerous. Regenerative braking can slow the vehicle down quite quickly, and as the name "one-pedal driving" suggests, it's common to barely touch the brake pe

This is only a problem in some EVs. Teslas, for example, illuminate the brake lights correctly when regenerative braking is used. The pinned comment on the video also suggests Hyundai may have fixed this on their cars by now, although I don

Funny, but to be clear, the actual practical advice is to call the police department and verify it. That's what the woman in the article did, and it most likely saved her life.

`exit` is simply a function. The text it displays at the REPL now is simply the result of calling `repr()` on that function. Adding a special case would make the REPL more complicated, and would make it inconsistent. Technically it wouldn&#

The correct behavior from `repr()` isn't to do anything, including reading from stdin. That would break documentation generators, along with anything else that expects to be able to call `repr()` without side effects.

This is a reasonable argument against parsing the output of `ls` within a shell script that you're going to save and reuse in arbitrary directories. It's not a reasonable argument against ever parsing the output of `ls`. If it wer

Everything published prior to 1928 is in the public domain. Reducing copyright terms or eliminating copyright would have no effect on those works. So, either your argument is self-defeating, or losing access to works published in 1928 and l
