Gnome and GTK are designed with themes as a core feature, and have been for ages. This is like refusing to support application menus (vs window menus) when they became a core part of Gnome. I personally may not use them, but it is part of t

When I go for a hike or play a game of soccer or audit a university class I have nothing concrete to show from it afterwords except the personal that development occurred. This is no different.

You don't need a driver in the car for level 4. That is level 3 and below.

Current California regulations for remote operators are identical regardless of whether the car is considered SAE level 4 or 5. I'm not sure what constitutes "continuous monitoring" there (I could interpret that as anything b

If I understand the second part of this article correctly, the first proposed solution was to replace those magic subvolume directories with auto mounted directories, but some standard uses of btrfs have so many subvolumes, the kernel code

That things are progressing about as expected. More specifically, Waymo is doing a bit better I than my general expectations, Cruise is about on par, and the rest slower. Waymo has been at it for a bit over 12 years now. We'll have to

California DMV regulations do allow testing of autonomous vehicles without a safety test driver if certain conditions are met, spelled out in Title 13, Division 1, Chapter 1 Article 3.7 Section 227.38 [1]. The most technically challenging o

I use that same sort of menu in XFCE for quickly accessing a folder in a deep hierarchy, and I really like it. A lot faster than navigating through a file explorer. That said I've used another application on Windows that had deeply nes

Depends on how closely you are trying to run those trains! If they are both skipping every other stop, they will both have the same mean speed, and thus shouldn't have to pass one another if there is sufficient initial spacing. For exa

The style of the background image is dated (although since it is more subtle than others of the era it doesn't stick out too badly), but the rest of the design is clean and remarkably modern looking for a site that hasn't been red

The only time it took 3 years between Debian stable releases was between Woody and Sarge, which happened over 15 years ago. All releases since have been on a 2 year cadence.

Agreed. Also surprised to see how short the suggested times on pull-down list are. Many of them might make sense to set on a specific conversation, but are insanely short as a default for all conversations. I don't have my phone on me

In a bit of irony, I just realized that I've heard that song hundreds of times over the radio, but not until today had I ever seen the video.

Looking at the most recent stackoverflow developer survey[1], most of the developers expressing interest in Rust would be moving from high level languages like Javascript and Python. It doesn't surprise me that developers with that bac

Agree completely. Non-verbal cues are helpful in person, but they just don't translate over webcam meetings very well at all. Instead you have a bunch of heads trying to look attentive staring off into weird directions. At one point my

I disagree. When immersed in a language it doesn't tend to be an issue, but switching between them absolutely is. Over my career I've had to deal with a ton of off-by-one bugs in code that was prototyped in Matlab then ported to C

Those trips cost tens of millons of dollars. These cost hundreds of thousands. That makes it available to many more people that could afford it before, and hints at the potential for continuing price decreases in the future.

These rides are being sold for a few hundred thousand dollars. Before New Shepard and SpaceShipTwo, the only private tourists to space paid tens of millions. That is a huge decrease in price! Now any millionaire can afford it, and it is jus

Also, rust is only being considered for kernel modules, not kernel core. And even then, only kernel modules that don't need to build on architectures rust doesn't support. So if you don't need any of those particular modules

Agreed. I think the biggest problem is that the providers themselves are as much in the dark as the customers when it comes to knowing what insurance will actually pay. So they submit some highball number and see what comes back. I think wh
