EE84M3i··on Rust in Android: move fast and fix things
What do you mean by "safe" in this context?
EE84M3i··on We found a bug in Go's ARM64 compiler
I seem to recall Cloudflare hosts their some of their non-edge compute on public clouds? Like control plane stuff. Could be that.
EE84M3i··on Offline card payments should be possible no later than 1 July 2026
Yeah I think ID is basically a parallel protocol for charging credit/debit cards
EE84M3i··on Offline card payments should be possible no later than 1 July 2026
>although for cards that are backed by a credit card, I think the limit is higher

I have a Suica thats integrated into a credit card, and it still has a ¥20,000 limit - the Suica balance is separate from the card balance, it just has a configurable auto top-up setting.

Interestingly, if I'm out of the Suica zone, sometimes auto top-up won't trigger. If I recall correctly this happened to me once in Fukuoka, presumably because there's some level of integration above just accepting payments that Hayakaken hasn't achieved. Never had a problem with Passmo interop though.

I've never heard of a suica with a higher limit, but it's possible they exist or that other compatible cards have higher limits.

Thank you, this comment made me chuckle.
EE84M3i··on EU age verification app not planning desktop support
I think the title "EU age verification app not planning desktop support" is misleading because it gives the impression that there will be no way to support EU age verification on the desktop.

This is addressed in the comments:

> It should also be noted that this project is an example of a solution that is considered to meet certain requirements of the DSA, regarding the protection of minors. It does not prevent the use of other solutions that also meet those requirements.

So I think a better title might be "EU age verification example app not planning desktop support"

(don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of how this is implemented, but it's important to be accurate in our critique)

EE84M3i··on US airlines are pushing to remove protections for passengers and add more fees
To add to this - is there some kind of general rule for what specific industries will devolve into the pattern of having these sorts of anti-consumer practices? Off the top of my mind I can think of cable companies, gyms, cellphone providers, airlines, live events. Is it market capture and/or the high cost of switching providers that prevents meaningful competition?
EE84M3i··on Sj.h: A tiny little JSON parsing library in ~150 lines of C99
This is interesting, but how does this do on the conformance tests?

Thanks for the link, that's a good read.
EE84M3i··on Pontevedra, Spain declares its entire urban area a "reduced traffic zone"
That is definitely not true in many parts of Japan.
EE84M3i··on Pontevedra, Spain declares its entire urban area a "reduced traffic zone"
One thing that contributes to cars being non-intrusive in Tokyo is just that there are many less of them than in American cities as there are many systems that de-incentivize having a car in the city.

To buy a car you need a certificate from the police attesting that you have a free parking spot of a certain size. The expressway tolls in Japan are often more expensive than gas for any long distance travel (and even the gas is expensive because there is basically no domestic oil production). The process of getting a license is much more intensive than in America. Japan has significantly more strict drunk driving laws than America (>0.03% for up to 3 years in prison, >0.05% is up to 5). Many workplaces don't allow you to drive to work (even if you could find parking) because by law their workman's comp insurance has to cover commuting and getting a policy that covers driving costs extra. There is absolutely no on-street residential parking.

All of these are deliberate policy choices that contribute to making the majority of road traffic in Tokyo be commercial and for most residents to default to some other form of transit.

EE84M3i··on Pontevedra, Spain declares its entire urban area a "reduced traffic zone"
Many places have on street parking that is used by residents (e.g. you get the "have to move my car twice a month because of street sweepers" effect). It's possible that's what the quote is referring to.

Compare Brookline MA, which allows on-street parking, but only during the day to neighborhoods in Boston proper which has free on-street parking permits for residents.

EE84M3i··on DuckDB NPM packages 1.3.3 and 1.29.2 compromised with malware
This used to happen with some frequency but I haven't heard of it happening in some time now.
EE84M3i··on Show HN: C++ Compiler Support Page
Is it possible to generate this automatically using conformance tests?

Amazon is off slack?
EE84M3i··on I ditched Docker for Podman
I would love to switch to podman, but rely on docker's credential helpers with gcloud CLI for authentication to pull from Google Artifact Registry on Mac with hyperkit. Last time I tried I couldn't figure out how to do this with podman machine in a way that respected gcloud credentials properly and could only find some hacks that involved passing short term tokens instead of supporting proper refresh flows. Is there a guide how to do that now?

EE84M3i··on Hurricane category 6 could be introduced under new storm severity scale
A comparison can be drawn to the scales used for measuring earthquakes. Although the Richter scale is quite common in many parts of the world, in Japan the Shindo scale is primarily used. This measures the local ground shaking intensity, as opposed to the Richter scale which measures the amount of energy released in the quake.

I've studied and worked in computer security for over a decade and have never heard of an "eclipse attack" before. Is this blockchain specific terminology? It seems like an adversarial network partition?
EE84M3i··on Being “Confidently Wrong” is holding AI back
This is so prominent in the cultural consciousness that it was lampooned in this week episode of south park, where Randy Marsh goes on a chatgpt (and ketamone) fueled bender and destroys his business.
EE84M3i··on Vendors that treat single sign-on as a luxury feature
Is there a go-to vendor/library that handles this (OIDC, SAML, SCIM) for SaaS services these days? Just like how everyone uses stripe for billing, everyone uses <vendor> for auth?
EE84M3i··on Starbucks in Korea asks customers to stop bringing in printers/desktop computers
Co-working spaces of all types are ubiquitous in Tokyo FWIW. Near my midsize station I had about 10 different providers in a 10 minute walking radius, some with multiple locations even!

Most have a selection of plans to choose from: hourly, daily, monthly, etc

I chose a bit more upscale one without a fixed seat. I pay ¥1100 (7.5 USD) I think for each day I use it, with a monthly minimum spend of ¥2200. It comes with free mediocre coffee/tea. It is consistently clean and library quiet as people follow the posted rules including minding the volume of their typing and headphones.

I would be surprised if the situation in Seoul was significantly different.

EE84M3i··on Google spoofed via DKIM replay attack: A technical breakdown
SVGs are also images that can contain scripts if not validated.

It's also relevant that github.io is on the public suffic list, which impacts a bunch of downstream things and isolates the subdomains from each other.

Was it open source? Would be interested to know more.
EE84M3i··on The .a file is a relic: Why static archives were a bad idea all along
Sorry what do you mean by "symbol interpolation" and "interposition" in this context?

Natively I would assume you can just take the sections out of the shared object and slap them into the executable. They're both position independent so what's the issue?

If PIE allows greater assumptions to be made by the compiler/linker than PIC that sounds great for performance, but doesn't imply PIC code won't work in a PIE context.
