The increase in healthcare costs is more a function of an aging population, rather than people (mis)using ambulances too much. However in these countries, although the rates are fairly low, misuse of ambulances is often heavily linked to poor levels of health literacy or lack of transportation options - though the caller often genuinely perceives it as an emergency - both of which can be improved through other programs such as education and public transport provisions. It’s almost as if providing good public education and transportation makes the population more productive and less wasteful.

It'd be nice if it was possible to toggle the different log classes after the fact.

I’ve run the open kernel module for some time and it seems to work well although I had to patch it to fix support for some VR hardware until upstream fixes it properly. What Vulcan extensions were you having issues with?

Out of interest are they running OKM or proprietary driver?

Good thing neither are sports cars.

Why do you see enjoying doing something, driving in this case, as being some sort way of “asserting dominance”? Some people just enjoy things because of all the activities and associations they have which involve that thing. I come from a place where we have both good public transport and a sizeable automotive enthusiast subculture, one doesn’t preclude the other. You seem to be pushing the idea that car enthusiasts enjoy cars because of the some status association, when most of the time people who are interested in car-as-status have little to no actual interest in cars beyond that.

A GT4CLusso has 4 seats and a hatchback, yet looks reasonable as a Ferrari so it’s hardly unfamiliar territory.

An XY scatter plot of g forces on its own isn’t very useful, this is why multichannel analysis tools like i2 exist so you can look at things like lateral g vs yaw rate or steering angle.

I disagree, it still commits many sins of modern car design with regard to interior controls. After Ive making a big statement basically echoing what pretty much everyone has been saying for years about forcing touchscreens on drivers, he goes and slaps a big honking iPad on the dash.

Though Pininfarina, Zagato and others have a long history of designing beautiful car bodies, many of which have more than stood the test of time.

Nitpick: eBPFs aren’t just for low level networking manipulations but also lots of other parts of the kernel. In fact the expanded version of the acronym is slightly confusing as it sort of implies being entirely to do with networking, which it isn’t.

More like, if you say “I hope this movie doesn’t suck” are you preemptively implying the movie is rubbish, or are you expressing your hope that it is worth witnessing? Taken out of context you can make a case for either. Luckily we have the rest of the post for that context so surely it’d be reasonable to base one’s interpretation on that.

“I hope X isn’t Y” is far from the same thing as “X is Y”. Seems like you’ve put words in their mouth so you can argue against some anti-religious straw man.

You’d think that but Xbox game pass games still won’t natively run on Linux.

why the sudden attack by EU lobbyists against VPNs?

Live sports, they’re already assaulting internet infrastructure in various EU member states (eg. La Liga forcing Spanish ISPs to block cloudflare IPs during matches). With this in mind it seems less a case of surveillance state and more a case of corporate state capture.

Go at least has a more capable standard library than Rust.

Many Golang projects I see in the wild will import a number of dependencies with significant feature overlap with sections of the standard library, or even be intended as a replacement for them. So it seems that having an expansive stdlib isn’t sufficient to avoid deep dependency trees, it probably helps to some degree but it’s definitely not a panacea.

This is related to a massive annoyance of mine: when I run a piece of software and the system is missing a required dependency, I want the software to *tell me* that dependency is missing so I can make a decision about proceeding or not. Instead it seems that far too often software authors will try and be “clever” by silently installing a bunch of dependencies, either in some directory path specific to the software, or even worse globally.

I run a distro that often causes software like this to break because their silent automatic installation typically makes assumptions about Linux systems which don’t apply to mine. However I fear for the many users of most typical distros (and other OS’ in general as it’s not just a Linux-only issue) who are subject to having all sorts of stuff foisted onto their system with little to no opportunity to easily decide what is being heaped upon them.

Worth noting that these weren't low level employees watching the children's gymnastics areas but included the accounts of the Director of Growth, and the VP of Strategic Relations and Business Development among several other staff members. You really have to wonder what these people mean when they say "think of the children".

It isn't always exactly the same sound even when th-fronted, the manner of doing so is regionally distinct and in many cases, to a sensitive ear, a th-fronted 'th' can be clearly discerned from an 'f' based on sound alone. Some accents will make a stronger distinction by softening the 'th' and/or extending it into the subsequent vowel.

The host is absolutely insufferable.

Why not with a pipe that returns a function, the type of which is determined by the args of the pipe? That is possible to make typesafe in TS. That way you can have both APIs where the chained version is just wrapping successive pipe calls.

In a serious drone war, the cargo ship wouldn't know it was carrying containers full of drones, as we saw in Ukraine's Operation Spiderweb[0].

We're already moving beyond that to having interceptor drones which are cheaper and far more expendable.

The Pilot in Command has ultimate legal responsibility over the operation of the flight, ICAO conventions explicitly state this. Whilst in practice the cabin crew will be the ones dealing with the passenger(s) and supplying information to the PIC , it won’t be them making the final decision.

terrible non-functional garbage collector

What garbage collector?

What’s with the weird abbreviations?

FYI xcancel is just a mirror that allows reading replies without needing an account.

Why does nearly all product marketing these days have to be delivered via "personality led" marketing?

The UK constitution isn't a "vague set of traditions", it is spread across a number of acts of Parliament.

Linux kernel provides ways to observe from user space. The problem is that there’s nothing to stop someone running a kernel which neuters anticheat tools ability to observe using that functionality. As far as I’m aware the only way to mitigate that is via measured boot attestation and having signed kernel etc.
