My experience with Waymos is that I am much more cautious around them both out of curiosity, but also because if something does go wrong, I don’t know what signals I have to change their behavior (e.g. honking, polite gesturing, etc.). Once

This wasn’t a safety issue. Not all transportation providers were down. Did it cause massive disruptions to transportation? Absolutely. This was caused by over regulation in the first place. Adding more regulation only entrenches existing p

I was recently told that my family of six, weighing a total of around 500lbs, could not get on a flight to Hawai’i because of weight restrictions and we were the party chosen to get bumped. We had hotels that couldn’t be canceled because we

I’m advocating for vendor diversity through market action, not government intervention. That’s what made this situation likely in the first place: requirements for a particular type of security software provided by only a few vendors.

In most cases an airport delay is not a life or death scenario, so I don’t think law is necessary beyond standard contract law that already exists.

Edit: their point number 6 does include rolling out to canaries. Its shocking that this wasn’t already the case.

While this may good true for something like medical units, legally mandating multiple vendors for private companies is unnecessary and adds inefficiencies where the natural consequences of monoculture will make the market more resilient. So

Yes, I did as well. I don’t really care for the way DocC documents arguments and was hoping for something innovative.

This is awesome! I've been doing some PSX decompiling and there are lots of similar things there as well. Interestingly, something like `memmove` is linked in using an SDK library[0], but `strcpy` is a function provided by the BIOS. La

The problem isn’t that Google has search and makes Android. It’s that they have search and paid android phone makes and Apple oodles of money to make Google search the default. Apple would not need to pay anyone to make their search (or map

It’s not quite that simple in Swift-land. There is a significant overlap between what’s compiler and what’s runtime. I’m supposedly linking against the same libraries, but changing the host platform changes the output binaries. Same code, s

I’m not sure this one is wrong, especially if you’ve been bitten by underdocumented compiler or framework changes that modify behavior of previously working code. For example, I have a small utility app built against SwiftUI for macOS 13. C

From just skimming, it’s some nice, clean Objective-C. Always pleasant to read!

Have you switched dentists recently? I have little trust in the profession (though I like my current dentist). Around 2008 every time I went in to the dentist she found cavities. I moved states between a bad diagnosis and getting any fillin

Switch to MacPorts. It supports precompiled packages, doesn’t take over the world and force anything on you the same way Homebrew does. I’m really disappointed in how Homebrew took a lot of attention away from the existing package managers,

I’ve previously read that in certain states (California) forestry services no longer maintain forests to avoid serious wildfire conditions.[0][1] Somewhat ironically, while blaming climate change for the problem instead of dealing with the

I poked through a few messages in that thread and while there is a space benchmark, there is no time benchmark, something I would expect to see on switching from a LL to a cache-aware implementation. Phoronix, who would benchmark a potato i

I don’t think it was related. This incident would predate those by 4-5 years.

I worked at Amazon when Fresh was rolling out in Seattle. A coworker thought he was ordering 10 bananas but when his order arrived he received 10 bunches of bananas. Generously, he brought them in to share along with the story. I’m sure the

If the DNC no longer has use for a public nomination process, they should get rid of it. It wastes a significant amount of taxpayer resources with estimates in the hundreds of millions of public dollars required to run a primary. It looks l

Harris didn’t make it to _a_ primary. If her debate performance is anything like it was in 2020, her campaign is already over.

I’ve said this elsewhere, but it seems like democrats have a problem with democracy, at least within their party. In 2016 shenanigans were pulled to bypass Bernie and the DNC won a lawsuit on the claim that they have no obligation to nomina

I don’t run CrowdStrike and to the best of my knowledge haven’t had it installed on one of my systems (something similar ran on my machine at the last corporate Jon I had), so correct me if I’m wrong. It seems great pains are made to ensure

> “It shouldn’t be there.” What hubris. “We didn’t expect it to be there,” or similar would be more appropriate. I really would like to see more uncertainty and humility from scientists that base their work on theory.

A vendor’s security is the clients security. Companies might choose a vendor for CYA in these instances, but if someone decides to send all of their internal business data to a third party, they better have a pretty good idea what will happ
