If you take a seasoned motorcycle rider and put them in one of those dashcam subs, they'll rip their hair out.

Most people have near zero defensive driving skill, and view someone pulling out in front of them as "nothing I could have done", when the dashcam shows the offending driver showed 5 signs of pulling out ages before the accident occurred.

At one point in my life I rode a bicycle 40+ km per day. I see things nobody else seems to and I think that has a lot to do with it. I cannot win the collision.

Much of being a good driver is just awareness.

One time my light turns green, I don't go. As my wife asks what I'm waiting for, a pickup blows the light. We weren't the first car at that light, and years later she still talks about how there's no way I could know. Well, I didn't get us t-boned at 80 so I must have done something right.

Agreed, unfortunately.

Passwords are easy to understand, transparent and portable, and when used with good hygiene (always using password manager and generating unique & strong passwords for everything) there isn’t yet a strong case for anything else.

doubled112 · 2 days ago
I’m not happy with everything about passkeys either. I am fine with them as an additional method, but I would never use them as the only method.

That said, I had a much easier time getting my kids onboard with a FIDO2 security key than I would have a password manager.

Enter your email and touch this is easy to understand.

> merely matching the cost and harms of the existing system is far from enough

The new system needs to be better but that doesn’t necessarily mean safer.

For delivery, that could mean cheaper and faster and more convenient.

Autonomous vehicles are a special case because those accidents tend to cause death and serious injury. As long as delivery drones can avoid killing multiple people per year, they are probably fine to compete on other metrics.

If Amazon handled it the right way, their drone smashing through your window could be a mere inconvenience.

In comparison to the way their delivery drivers drive down my sidewalk, I can see the drone being a safety win.

This post has nothing to do with AI. Plus, these games are classics not just because of their mechanics. Nearly the entire library of the NES were games trying, and failing, to replicate the magic of Super Mario Bros.

Yes, and I have always found it amusing because on the surface it was run right, jump, repeat.

If I'm working late and the "compensation" is free pizza, then I better be getting a whole pizza to myself.

Whole pizza or not, what does receiving compensation for working late feel like?

I don't think people feel entitled to free entertainment, they're just tired of being so badly ripped off.

It used to be that you'd pay one company a little extra, and get all the extra channels you actually wanted. Now you pay multiple companies _a lot_ extra, and still might miss out on what you want.

Many people still remember the original deal.

doubled112 · 5 days ago
Yes, I remember when Netflix was going to "save" us all from the cable company.

When there is only one streaming service, being subscribed to that streaming service means you get everything. Now there are 15 different ones to choose from, each licensed to show a different set of content.

Watching NHL hockey in Canada is a strange situation right now, but I'm not sure how it compares to the original cable situation.

It is actually very, very janky and behaves like someone tried to reimplement ~15 years old Office UI in JavaScript. Not in a good way.

I really, really want them to be successful, but I cannot pretend it's a pleasure to use at all.

When I tried it last, it was painfully slow. Have there been any improvements on the performance front lately?

Typing in a word processor should not have input lag in 2025. It wasn't just a little lag, but the type and watch it catch up kind of lag.

Four way stops are good, in my experience, at intersections with roughly equal (low) traffic load on both (two-lane) roads and relatively high pedestrian traffic. Like in a dense residential urban neighborhood between major commercial thoroughfares, side streets. Traffic is mostly people going to residences with people out and about walking. If it’s only a two way stop drivers will often not yield to pedestrians on the free flowing road.

Four way stops on intersecting four-lane roads are awful for the reason you stated.

To use Chicago as an example because I know it, typically major roads are spaced every four blocks (half mile) with smaller roads in between. The mid-point roads (two blocks from each major one) is often a little wider than the other two side streets on either side, and those intersecting mid-point roads usually have a four way stop while the two smaller ones will have stops signs where they cross a mid-point road but the mid-point road will not. You end up with a nice, overall hierarchy that generally works well.

I’m up in Ontario, Canada. You’re not supposed to yield to pedestrians on the free flowing road. The pedestrian at the stop sign stops and waits for a break in traffic.

Do you run Docker? Because I remember having to VPN out to a client that used that range, and it caused conflicts where our docker containers couldn't reach the client side to fetch data.

Docker defaults to 172.16.0.0/16.

doubled112 · 12 days ago
I had this happen at home. I'm not convinced it was a good idea to choose default subnets as /20.

It was pretty easy to cause myself problems with Docker compose. Eventually I run out of subnets in the 172.16 range and it happily created subnets in the 192.168. range. Some of them overlapped with subnets on my LAN.

I even recall that people were concerned about spyware and user tracking in XP because it required online activation.

It's amazing what would trigger outrage back then vs what it all looks like now.
