Also, systemd comes with a timeout, after which it kills the app anyways, so I think you can surely configure that 90s timeout to be something like 5s or so, which then is much faster.

But as you wrote, If someone really cares, they would fix it.

PS: But what usually gets me about these 90s waits whenever I get them is that the message does not say which thing (unit, etc) is the issue. THAT is something worth criticising.

Ads are a problem because twitch is pushing them more, while slowly degrading the profitability of normal subs (eg no 70/30 split anymore). Regarding ads they also don't seem to understand their product, having an option to switch on ads which play uncontrollably (for the streamer) while also completely hiding the stream during the ad. Combined with no rewind feature this is a complete mess.

Something else streamers mention is that on twitch there are way better/more moderating features than on youtube. Shared ban lists, automod bots, annottions like "likely avoiding ban" etcpp

Won't this break your TCP connections? NAT won't, because it's connection-aware by its nature. And you also get a new "address"(=port) on each new connection, regardless of any setting.

ipv4 with NAT gets you a new "adress"(meaning port) on every single new connection. I don't see IPv6 doing the same thing(it has no clue about connections)

well, if only a minority uses those workarounds/libraries then maybe it's best to have it as a library and not in the language. That way the language can worry about other things instead of having to support twice as many integer types.

I also sometimes want to have unsigned integer types, mostly for data model correctness sake (aka this value can't be negative anyways, lets use unsigned). But so far I only really missed unsigned bytes in java (which the author acknowledges). And even in other languages I rarely "need" unsigned types.

The ticket also covers (local/regional) buses (which are more common in the rural areas of germany) so you don't even have to be near a train station.

But rural areas are usually better traversed by car because buses take longer (more stops, more detours, maybe not going where you want to).

Maybe the commenters are "anti" and the voters aren't (more comments being also a detriment to getting to the frontpage)?

But I don't see any real "anti" comments, only valid criticism and I say that as a Java dev myself. It does have its wrinkles. But for it's age and popularity it's still a pretty good language.

1. I did not read it but I assume that the shoes they tried this with were in good condition (at least visibly). They did write that only a small percentage of imported second-hand clothes get actually sold, the rest is burned or put on landfills, e.g. NOT reused.

Of course, it would have been interesting to see what happens with broken shoes. Though I don't believe for a second they would have been recycled (or reused).

2. Apart from this, no one said a small word about the imho bigger issue here: Recycling shoes means that the materials are used to make new shoes. What DOW is advertising is downcycling, a worse fate. We should not allow companies to pervert the meaning of such important terms.

not only condemned, this is probably illegal. Microsoft got successfully sued (ab)using their os monopoly to push their own browser in the past and its still illegal in the EU.

Minor nitpick: I'm not sure having some places with 15 year old footage counts as "having streetview"

While this may be true, it is just a short-term solution because the EU will just change the law again if it annoys too much. It would be far more easy for all of us to not only follow the letter of the law but also its spirit. But this wouldn't be a very Apple thing to do.

> In other news, I’ve discovered a new level of this hell. Because I used Facebook as a login service for my account with the DMV I am now unable to pay my vehicle taxes nor renew my registration/tags online. Obviously I can do this in person, but who wants to GO to the DMV? Not I, that’s for sure.

How does a government agency even allow something like "sign in with Facebook"? Sure it's convenient but this case shows why this is stupid. Also, isn't this a privacy issue? I'm not an american but it baffles me that something like this is possible.

funnily, I encountered an inspection in a tram where they did check for masks, and masks only. They wrote up personal details of the ones who did not have masks on them.

But this was the only time since the whole thing began and it was this year (when it was arguably already over).

So yeah.

particularly strtok is easy to replace imho. Ans if you've done so before, you can just accumulate and use your own "libc". Maybe not an entirely reusable one but enough of it. I can entirely imagine "rolling your own", as libc is not that big.

But then again, I'm not a C dev by trade.

> So what they are doing now is putting plastic waste into PLASTIC ROADS, and calling this "recycling".

That's why it's not really called "recycling" but downcycling. It does not re-enter the "cycle". It just goes in a different (and arguably worse) landfill.

The argument for recycling is also not usually that landfills grow, but that stuff on landfills is not used for new things and the materials that are now missing have to be covered by oil, mining, etc, all the stuff "environmentalists" worry about.

WHich would completely cripple IDEs or at the very least makes it difficult to work with

I see corrections like this more often, but admittedly only if it's quality journalism. First thing that comes to my mind is a german tech news site, golem.de .

Maybe I'm an outlier but the e-mail-adress I use for online payments or shops for over 10 years now has not been pwned. Maybe because I don't use this email for other sites where no money is involved or for social media. But I think hibp is not a great bot indicator.

You can also combine them to then have stories like

As <persona> I can <capability>, so that <receive benefit>

Which improves the story a bit imho because you have a clearer picture on what "role" does or can also divide them up (according to familiarity/usage frequency of the tool e.g.)

maybe strict but arcane? It's pretty much the same "law" that apple put facebook under: Make personalization of ads optional and turn it off by default or at least make it equally easy to opt out and opt in (=forced choice).

And this "arcane rule" is pretty much 50% of everything you read about GDPR (heard of cookie dialogs? they are not just banners anymore due to GDPR). Hardly arcane to me.

"Join Linux" -> "And the Linux Foundation" ftfy, gizmodo. "linux" is not an entity which would make sense in this title imho.

Since you don't mention it: This very same guy is the product manager for MuseScore 4 and was hired after his video ;)

> it seems hard to define what unexpected means, and that case laws to establish them would take ages, be difficult to predict for a long time, and can be avoided by the company settling discretely, and prevent any actual precedents.

Weirdly enough, this somewhat works in Germany. Sure, I know Lawyers who say that pretty much any T&C has terms that are invalid under this law but society has not collapsed, companies don't get sued constantly and the most egregious terms get ruled against. Sounds nice?

Of course, Germany/EU is a different legal environment than USA so this does not apply 1:1.

nuclear energy generation is "cheap"? Are you sure? According to e.g. [1], it's the most expensive power source and getting more expensive each year. It's probably "cheap" due to all the subsidies and the conditions on the subsidies setting certain prices.

Sure, it didn't help shutting down nuclear reactors prematurely but building new ones certainly is not the cheapest strategy.

not sure the data you want for #5 is available anywhere or even tracked, since you would have to consider the speeds of all participants involved. I would argue that the given statistics might give an even stronger case because the speed-limited sections usually already have a higher probability of accidents (hence the limit), so being above that already says something.

But having written that, I have no drivers license and no real opinion either way. ofc I'm slightly leaning towards general speed limits (less externalities for me to pay) but overall I'm indifferent.

maybe rational, but purely subjective. "Restricting freedom" - the "freedom" to reach your destination in an arbitrary speed? what kind of freedom is this? esp if we talk about a difference of what, 10 minutes over 2 hours of driving time? "potentially potentially taking away a right people are used to" it wasn't really a right (=set in law), it just was not forbidden, just like a lot of other things that get restricted all the time. the argument "but this was allowed before" is not really a good objective argument.

> As soon as you have aftermarket repairs, next thing you know, users are suing makers because some aftermarket nonsense burned a hole in their leg, or more recently, because their entire multi-family dwelling burned down.

Those poor companies. Give them a few wrongful lawsuits and they fall over. /s

If only it were so simple to bring companies down. I think the odds are heavily against something like this being a big issue. Companies have more money to prove you wrong and also pay better lawyers to present proof. Sure, there could be a few of such cases. But they probably happen anyways.

That said, you sure can "fix" your John Deere easier to increase the horsepower while also unlawfully increasing exhaust fumes. But this is an individual issue then, not the problem of the company (John Deere). Right to repair does make some things more tricky. But the payoff is worth it imho.

They probably do not measure "efficiency" but "power usage" or "cost". Those go up as you would expect. I also have not really heard a l/100km value called an "efficiency" metric in german. It's lmost always fuel usage.

I get if they use those reasons to make S0 the default. But not making it configurable at all and even removing obscure commandline/registry options (instead of creating a switch which is just visibly disabled if you can't flip it due to missing S3 support) has no a technical justification.
