  • TIL that in New York, you don't actually need a valid driver’s license to own a car

    Jump

  • Being able to own a car without a license probably isn't the main cause behind the rise in these statistics. At least I'm not convinced that requiring a DL to own one will do any good. Many countries don't require a license to own or even register a car and have far better traffic accident statistics.

    At least in Germany, most unlicensed drivers are just the ones that continue driving after having their license revoked, which explains why they are a big source of accidents. This also means however, that most of them have completed their driver training at least once. From what I'm reading it sounds like in NY, administrative chaos during covid has caused some people to just not get a license at all? If so, then the most obvious solution to me is lowering administrative hurdles for getting a license. In car-dependent places like the US and Germany, it's very difficult to prevent people from driving a car at all. So, why not focus instead on making sure the people who need to drive can get a license?

  • If anything, post-war occupation and the close relationship with the US in the decades to follow have done more to shape this particular aspect of German foreign policy. Ironically, you'll probably find more people who obviously haven't learned from the second world war outside of Germany, particularly in the USA. You can criticise Germany for many things, but certainly not for actually confronting the past.

  • Choosing a distro based on repositories near me

    Jump

  • It only checks mirror latency every transaction if you enable "fastestmirror". Repositories are only synced if the local cache is out of date or the metadata timestamp has changed. There might be a way to prevent dnf from refreshing repository metadata at all, but I really don't think that's a good idea.

  • Choosing a distro based on repositories near me

    Jump

  • In my experience, dnf has pretty good mirror selection by default. Setting "fastestmirror=true" replaces the more complex mirrormanager2 heuristic, which tries to select an appropriate mirror by available bandwidth, with a simple latency check that runs before transactions. In most cases this has no effect or worsens dnfs performance. They changed the description in dnf5 to better reflect the behaviour.

    Having said that, it's worth giving a try in a case like this. I just want to make sure that people realize that there is a reason this was never enabled by default, since this is a popular configuration tweak suggested all over the internet, whose actual function very few seem to know.

  • Good marketing or influencers perhaps? I'm not sure but I've been wondering myself.

  • Life pro tip for friends of pharmacists

  • There is nuance here and it's up to medical professionals and researchers to find the right balance. The biggest source of the unnecessary usage of antibiotics is rampant over-prescription, not taking a few more doses after the first second you feel better. Rebounding with a more resilient infection after stopping antibiotics early is still a relevant concern and happens frequently.

  • GNOME & Firefox Consider Disabling Middle Click Paste By Default: "An X11'ism...Dumpster Fire"

    Jump

  • The default paste action is pretty much the only thing preventing anyone from picking a different function for the button. That's the the biggest reason for reversing the default behaviour.

  • GNOME & Firefox Consider Disabling Middle Click Paste By Default: "An X11'ism...Dumpster Fire"

    Jump

  • There are programs that use the middle mouse button but also support pasting from clipboard. I've been annoyed at work plenty of times when I'm trying to translate across a canvas but accidentally paste a random node of text. Bonus points if it contains some kind of password that was still in your clipboard. I don't think it's a good default.

  • Software taketh away faster than hardware giveth: Why C++ programmers keep growing fast despite competition, safety, and AI

    Jump

  • The choice of programming language for new projects almost always comes down to the existing ecosystem and its popularity in the space you're working in. Some of the most popular languages also have the advantage of being deeply embedded in the academic pipelines educating newcomers to the field, which obviously includes C++. Being one of the worst choices for a first programming language to learn hasn't stopped C++ yet and likely won't for a long time to come.

  • Asking for help online just gets you a "lol, RTFM, noob!"

    Depends heavily on what place you ask for help in. There are plenty of spaces explicitly meant for community tech support. In OPs case, I'll say the title doesn't help and asking an LLM for advice on a topic you're unfamiliar with (and not second-guessing the commands you paste into the terminal) is such a bad idea that it really can't be understated. I regularly catch some of my colleagues making AI-assisted mistakes and they're professionals who genuinely know better. This shit shouldn't ever be recommended as a learning tool for beginners without some kind of supervision or guard rails to ensure you're not being gaslit.

  • KHTML and WebKit is a historic mess but it's debatable at best if Apple actually violated license terms. In any case, it shows just how ineffective LGPL is at enforcing the intended contributions from corporate licensees. I'm not getting into this historic mess of a topic with someone who has yet to give a reason why Rust needs to be singled out for being MIT licensed when it was already the de facto default choice for most open source projects before it ever became popular. It's quite clear to me from the endless brain-dead comments in Lundukes YT channel or in the Phoronix forums, that a vocal minority of the Linux community has a massive hate-boner for Rust and is desperately trying to come up with a valid reason for it. None of these people are actual experts from what I can tell, but boy do they have strong opinions about the programming languages used by the people who do all the work.

  • Yes, just like most things Lunduke or his tinfoil hat army of illiterate conservatives preach, it's horseshit. You can license your own code in whatever way you want, Rust doesn't prevent that. Neither does Zig, just in case you weren't aware that Rust isn't the only MIT licensed language ecosystem. In fact, there are very few that use a copyleft license.

    Do you know how much software in the Linux ecosystem is MIT (or Apache) licensed? Why hasn't X11 "hollowed out free and open source", despite being included in damn near every desktop linux installation? Have you ever taken a look at other language ecosystems? It's absolutely full of MIT licensed libraries everywhere. There is a reason that MIT and Apache licenses are by far the most popular choice at the moment. If you really want to be concerned about that choice, be my guest, but stop blaming Rust for it for fucks sake. And you people can fuck off with those "soy" comments too. Come back when you've actually written a single line of productive code, instead of pretending to be a concerned expert about a topic you can barely grasp.
