I was in the Netherlands and Germany last month and ran into this on my Garmin 2559LMT. I loaded current maps before the trip.On a trip east from the Netherlands into west Germany and back I ran into the same red dots with an associated message that this road was not available for traffic. The Garmin has one of the FM band traffic receivers that gives traffic conditions around big US cities and that has steered us around accidents dirving in Europe in the past. Since the maps are pre loaded in the Garmin and it doesn't do networking like Google Maps, I suspect that the road unavailable info was coming from the FM traffic band. This implies that it was not just a glitch in Maps, but something deeper in the lower level traffic data.

The article leaves out some important history that minimal research would have turned up.

Look up the Hot Dry Rock project at Los Alamos National Laboratory, https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscover.lanl.gov%2Fpubl... in the 1970s to the early 2000s. Exactly this with lots of important research results.

They might at least have credited the original research funded by your tax dollars...

So do we get to see the collection of all the models related to all the software patents over the years?

But think of the fun we can have arguing over which auto manufacturers uses systemd and which don't...

This record that cannot be played on that record player... https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F...

I disagree!

The users have complete rights under GPL to take the code, modify it, and use it as they wish as long as they make their changes available under the same agreement.

They have the complete right to patch and modify the code as they wish. They have more rights than anyone running Solaris or HPUX or Windows-XP or whatever old system you wish to name. You are confusing their desire to have a free ride from others with having the rights to do with the code as they wish.

If you want someone else to give you a free ride, then don't complain when they don't do exactly as you wish. On the other hand if you wish to continue to maintain an old system, then pay the price of learning to do the work to patch and keep it up to date. With Linux, you have the right and the freedom ... regardless of what the previous know-nothing poster claimed.

The first computer I purchased for myself was one of the first LSI-11/73s. I added Emulex controllers and a Fuji winchester drive. Had an 11/23 for work. Did my own port of the 22-bit Q-Bus stuff and gave it to the 2.9 BSD folks. Used it to finish classwork for my MS. The school had a student VAX-750 with 4.2 BSD. My 11/73 was just about the same speed as the VAX and I didn't have 20 students competing for my CPU. The software was mostly compatible and UUCP over a 2400 Baud modem gave me connectivity. Still have the hardware out in the storage shed but emulation on a PC is much faster than the old hardware these days. I liked the old Unix/PDP-11 days.

On my PDP-11. Love that 22-bit Q-bus.
But I use Linux on my new-fangled I7 thing.

Now all you damn kids get off of my lawn.

And current CDC guidelines are to NOT do aspiration before injection so no one can ensure proper intramuscular injection. Doesn't matter with a lof of vaccine types. Looks like it does matter with the Covid vaccines. The only reason I can locate is "to avoid pain in infants" ?!?! So any supplier taking the initiative to aspirate in order to avoid the low possibility of hitting a small vein might get sued for not following the established guidelines. We need to hope the establishment catches up with the research soon.

When I got my booster I requested aspiration and gave them a reference to last months study where IV vs IM injections in mice gave exactly the pericarditis and myocarditis seen as the vaccine side effect. They were interested and glad to use the proper technique on my request. Its a very low probability, but I think I removed one (very low) chance of a side effect. Read real papers not random opinions on Facebook or twitter (or /.)

And moving past the news reports and politicians posturing and commentators blathering, the data from the phase-3 trials in Russia was just published in The Lancet.

Looks like 91% effective and no bad side effects.

This has been well covered as early as 1948 in "The Endochronic Properties of Resublimated Thiotimoline"

They're right. it doesn't add much to technical science. "The parallax demonstration was not done for scientific purposes".
But having worked with stereo images and having the trick to focus them without a stereoscope, I looked for quite a while. That is a visceraly and emotionally powerful image. Thanks. I feel my tax dollars were well spent.

As usual, XKCD nails it! RIP JHC

Someone should get the old Usenix proceedings on line.
I seem to recall that Rob Pike (hey Rob, are you out there?) did a somewhat controversial talk one year about proliferation of command line args, particularly in Berkeley Unix, called "cat -v considered harmful".
The discussion has been going on for a long time.
