The “another” law in question
Graduated driving licences could see a minimum supervised learning period, curfews and a limit to the number of passengers new drivers can carry.
Of course reckless drivers who were going to drive drunk won’t respect these either, but also these are laws that can dissuade parents from giving/lending their cars. Surprisingly a bunch of parents are oblivious to their kids drinking and driving patterns, but a blanket ruling like this might help.
Never have I ever seen so many pickup trucks and SUV ads as I’m seeing today. Ford, built tough or something. Big truck is adventurous. Big truck is barbecue with a big block of meat. Ugh, disgusting.
To this day I’d still say muscle building is the bulk of my subconscious motivation to hit the gym. My Physio appreciates the commitment because I need to take care of my knees, but it hits home that I’ve been worried about being lean and muscular since a pre teen.
I vividly remember one judo class when I was sparring with one of the few girls in class, and while we were the same size, she was more experienced (two belts up). Mid spar, she commented how strong my grip and distance control was, proceeded to flap open my kimono, the commented “you still do need to turn it up in the gym though”. ding ding ding new core memory just formed lmao
I think that was the first time my body was so openly judged to my face, and it was pretty much about the looks since we just stablished that the strength was there
What would I even be writing about without publicly exposing my personal life intimate details (don’t want to) or that hasn’t been said ad nauseam by better and more known writers at this point? What’s a sensible sex and dating column that doesn’t simply reduce into the usual “be empathetic, respect other’s space and boundaries, open dialog, know yourself, seek therapy, etc”?
Sometimes in the effort of making a topic palatable, it’s stripped of its sprit completely.
If this was published by The Sun or something I’d understand as a positive - at least it’s an article not bent on demonization and at least advances a nuanced and humanized view -, but from the Walrus… this level of two-sidedness is probably in the lower end of what the readership expects already?
Still, I thought it was insightful. I still don’t read as many feature-length trans testimonial/articles like this as I probably should.
Show up and vote non-Poilievre, people. Please.
I implore you. Turnout is the lowest effort good thing you can do to help prevent a cycle of conservatism from wrecking the littlest good things there are to celebrate. It’s too tragic to observe this with ABC-driven municipalities right now, having that on federal level too will be too much.
Any unhinged literate person can, you just have to get a few technical questions right; then you can go on to exercise the opposite of what you answered to get that grade
New Kurtzgesagt video, a new opportunity to improve my filter bubble by blocking anyone who starts parroting factoids about their ties with the Gates Foundation 🤭 great day
Unfortunately a lot of office towers are unsuitable to be converted into housing.
How much is “a lot”? I’ve seen several retrofit projects that seemed incredibly challenging take off and be successful, so I don’t really know if there are really that many buildings downtown that would be terminally unsuitable. Specially given the somewhat uninspired and homogenous trend of glass towers, and the wild income potential of rentals in downtown.
Morning Show seasons 2 and 3 condensed in a single week
Mine has been working fine, but the instance did lose all my “Mark as watched” videos, and for some reason one specific channel never makes into the Subscriptions panel, but I just have it as a favourite and it ends up almost the same. The instance I was using for Piped is now borked, so I’m hanging onto Invidious for now.

Glad someone is finally taking on a fediverse alternative to GoodReads
Firefox is just the only decent option. And while at it, use Piped or Invidious while you still can, people!
I’m in total agreement that OSS builds more secure software. What I’m saying is that these companies are not in the business of building safe software.
From there, I see no advantage to closed-source here.
I think the easiest mental map is this: doing things well has a cost; doing things poorly can be cheaper; if it’s way cheaper and there’s some method available to de-risk it even if a little bit, no matter how little effective it is, it might be financially advantageous to pick the inferior option. This is not just for security, but pretty much everything.
What a complicated way of getting a building floor reassignment
You’d still need an account, but I think you can plug Zapier into a group to create RSS feed items from posts.
From there you can use your RSS reader of choice, FOSS or not
There’s also the graph API if you want to DIY, also needs a token with group permissions
I think you might have read it backwards, I equated closed source with security by obscurity. And obviously you can have both, if you pay extra.
Sure, finance is not technology, but I think it’s worth it pointing out that it’s not arbitrary or just greed or whatever, it has technicalities too.
It’s called a slope chart and it has several benefits compared to bar charts:
I for one think this is much better than using a bar chart for this use case, as the angled arrows make it immediately obvious the information that matters the most here (the rate of change) while still keeping it contextualized (by relative positions). The bar chart version of this would inevitably look more cluttered and would not be more effective in conveying the incredible progress in solar costs.
Am I going to be behind the competition by doing this?
Yes, because you are due a lot more diligence with open source, and that will slow down your releases.
If the most secure crypto algorithms are the ones that are public, can we ensure the security of a bank’s apps by publicizing it?
You trade security by obscurity for security by expert oversight. I’m not a lawyer or baking auditor, but I’d say while zero-days are problematic for open source software projects; they can be life-ending for banks.
Is there a technical reason they don’t publicize their code or is it just purely corporate greed and nothing else?
This is a false dichotomy. Financial reasons to not publicize the code are technical reasons. Finance is technical.
Good book. Surprisingly sympathetic to men, which makes the whole thing a lot more palatable to the target audience.
Great recommendation.
