How far should a programming language aware diff go?
  • Why would there be one answer to this? I'd probably use all the available levels depending on the situation, in the same way I'd use --word-diff or -b in git when I need help understanding a complex change.

  • Why haven't car manufacturers standardized automatic brake lights when a built in accelerometer detects deceleration?
  • I was thinking about this last time I drove an ev (ioniq 5). It will really decelerate quite hard when you lift off, and it's configurable by the driver.

    I don't think they need to do it with an accelerometer, but if the regeneration system is applying more braking force than it would take to turn on the light with the brake pedal, it should turn the light on.

    Either that or they should require the brake pedal to be used beyond that point.

    Edit: actually it just occurred to me that it might be no worse than downshifting in a normal car. Maybe it's not a big deal.

  • Who could pass up this ballin' opportunity?
  • Not that I recall. It turns out that most people have their Xbox in a place that sucks for dribbling a basketball, so I think the correct way to play this game was to move the setup to your garage/patio. :)

  • French elections: Left projected to win most seats, ahead of Macron's coalition and far right
  • The right was never dominating the polls. They had ~30%. It was always going to play out this way. The doom and gloom was that actual fascists had 30% of the vote.

    It was only individual candidates being encouraged to drop out strategically.

    France has a slightly less shitty electoral system than e.g. UK, US, Canada, so a party with 30% was never going to win absolute power.

    Edit: when I say "it was always going to play out this way" l just mean the right weren't going to win a majority. The left still seems to have done surprisingly well in the second round.

    Also, it's still shitty that the fascists won so many seats..

  • ‘Anti-Woke’ Water Makes a Splash at Conservative Conference
  • she got the idea for the brand while watching the Republican debates, where she noticed audience members drinking water that had “no connection to the people drinking it.”

    They could have been drinking the same water as the blue team. Disgusting.

  • Is Your Driving Being Secretly Scored? The insurance industry, hungry for insights into how people drive, has turned to automakers and smartphone apps like Life360.
  • Does it actually tell you the results? I'm curious how they score your driving, and how effective it is. The scariest things I see on the road are things like:

    • distracted driving
    • tailgating
    • lack of awareness

    I don't see how they'd measure how safe a driver you are.

    Perhaps it's just that people are more careful when they know they're being monitored, and safe drivers are more likely to opt in?

  • Skyway Man - Flight of the Long Distance Healer

    I loved his last record, so I'm pretty hyped for this one.
