This is looking like some serious hardware. Orange Pi is starting to eat into the Intel NUC territory.

What I really hope is that the NPU they advertise gets plenty of software support so it's more than just a marketing ploy.

Aside from the wealth concentrating in the hands of a few, there's also noting that it's "working full time". More people are stuck into part time or multiple part time jobs to make ends meet.

They've left dual citizenship and the five year normal path to citizenship intact... for now.

Suspicion? This has been the goal of right wing and conservative think tanks for decades now. The end goal of conservatism is monarchy. "Plenary Authority" is just a fancy way of saying "The King can do anything he wants".

"fascists seek to ally with fascists now that US fascists are publicly out as fascists"

Windows 95/98 sucked shit. I liked the games, but the kernels were terrible.

I dual booted or ran two machines Linux (RedHat 5.2 to 6.2, wtf was up with 7?), then whatever worked (usually Debian based) for a while. Mostly used Linux alone for years, but used Win7 for a bit. That one was okay, but Microsoft can't build dev tools on their own OS to save their lives.

It's been Linux Mint for a long time now on desktops and Debian/Armbian on servers.

Basically, I've been mainlining Linux since about '97 and it's doing me just fine. Works great for my kids and wife. We're a mostly Linux household. It saves me a ton of headaches. Easy to install, patch, and almost no other maintenance.

Because the people in charge of straightjackets want this.

And Russia invading Ukraine wasn't an attempt to extract wealth by conquering a neighboring sovereign nation?

Russian diplomat opens mouth -> shit falls out, news at 11.

It turns out that road design has significantly more impact on speeds and safety than posting cops everywhere. Who'd of thought that?

... Except everyone who does actual research on the topic, of course.

Conservatives are, and have always been, about power over others. We kept their more evil nature's focused externally for a while with cold war, but without an external threat to point them at, they always turn on their neighbors eventually.

Too many car farts makes air go hot hot.

Danke für die Gedanken.

Nein, ich habe kein Oktoberfestbier getrinken. Ich trinke fast kein alkohol. Aber, ich bin in Berlin und Oktoberfest ist klein hier.

 

Seattle continues to inch towards being a pedestrian city again. Now if they could just find a way to make a streetcar that's not stuck in traffic all day...

 
 
 
 

I know that Paris was adding tons of tram lines, but I didn't know about the scale of the metro building. Four wholly new metro lines, 200km of tunnels, 68 stations!

The project was proposed in 2010, started digging in 2016, and is scheduled to be open in 2030.

Huge props to Paris and France! Now that's how you handle big city growth and infrastructure!

 

Plans to pedestrianise parts of Oxford Street will move forward "as quickly as possible", the mayor of London has said.

City Hall claims two thirds of people support the principle of banning traffic on one of the world's busiest streets, with Sir Sadiq Khan adding that "urgent action is needed to give our nation's high street a new lease of life".

Vehicles would be banned from a 0.7-mile (1.1km) stretch between Oxford Circus and Marble Arch, with further potential changes towards Tottenham Court Road.


That piece of road gets a half million visitors per day. It cannot scale with cars taking up all.of the space and resources. I'm really happy to see the Mayor pushing this through. London needs to make more effective use of the scarce room it has. Returning more streets back into places for people instead of cars should be a huge part of that.

 

Climate Town drops a new video on the NY City congestion charge and how cars are being handled in the city.

 

The Idaho legislature moving to stop the physician training pipeline that does a 2-2/3 program with UW. This currently trains about 40 physicians, mostly Idaho natives, in a cohort.

The reason is 'idaho values', which boils down to UW teaching modern medicine and ethics of bodily autonomy and Idaho elected officials not liking it.

This is just one more brick in the walls building between US states over progressive vs conservative states.

 

Washington State Department of Transportation is starting to realize that we cannot afford to maintain the sheer volume of roads we build. The maintenance debt that we have built up is bankrupting our governments and it's only going to get worse year by year.

Civilization itself cannot afford to have so many car oriented roads long term.

The more car trips taken, regardless of how safe you try to make things, or how much you try to educate drivers, or how many 'be careful' street signs you put up, will always increase the chances of a crash.

 

This is kind of an open question for me: does any code coverage tool work in Java with Junit5? I'll admit that I'm no Java configuration specialist, so I find the complexity of XML-based configuration systems to be quite opaque. I've got a few simple Maven-based build projects on hand and I wanted to add code coverage to the test harnesses. Unfortunately, I have never managed to get one stood up and running. I do this all the time with Python pytest/coverage tools, but it's been elusive for Java projects.

Could someone here please point me to a working example of any Java project using Maven / Junit5 / [any code coverage system]?

My latest attempt to get a working example came from this howto: https://howtodoinjava.com/junit5/jacoco-test-coverage/

But, it once again gave me the: [INFO]


jacoco-maven-plugin:0.8.7:report (default-report) @ JUnit5Examples


[INFO] Skipping JaCoCo execution due to missing execution data file.

As near as I can tell, JaCoCo just never runs. Ever. It's been very frustrating. I've read tutorials, followed suggestions on configuring surefire in various ways. I've pulled misc repo that claim to have it working. I've tried different computers with different OSes, versions of java, different maven installs, etc. There's something somewhere that I'm missing and after months of off and on attempts to get this working I'm at my wit's end.

Please help.

 

The measure to make vehicles weighing 1.6 tons and over pay 3x the parking rates for the first two hours has passed in Paris.

Now, let's get that in place for London and many other other places to help slow, and even reverse, this trend towards massive personal vehicles.
