Or if you want compare vibe coding with any technology, like electricity. Sure, that one person got electrocuted or their house burned down. But it's just so useful, and "somehow civilization continues to function". I guess they should've known better.
I'm personally not comfortable hyping up the benefits whilst ignoring the risks, especially for lay people.
The system you describe is hardly unique to Germany, so this just reads like hyperbole or inexperience travelling.

This I can agree with.
You'll want a dev board, which has the chip plus some supporting components on it. The Raspberry Pi Pico is a good choice because it's so widely used and well documented.
If you care about Rust, you'll also want to get the Debug Probe. Worth the money.
If you don't care about Rust, any Adafruit dev board should run CircuitPython, have good documentation, and likely some projects you can start with. The reason I don't recommend these for Rust is because many of their dev boards do not "break out"/make available the connections for a debug probe.
Edit: Having a project you want to do is good, but just making an LED blink can be magical, too, especially if you haven't done anything with hardware.
That's for occupants.
> Furthermore, the NHTSA doesn't do most testing.
Which is why I quoted IIHS and other non-US testing.
> NHTSA standards
Which standards are for e.g. pedestrian safety? The hood ornament thing?
> That's misleading. They don't test for pedestrian safety as part of the normal tests. But they test for it generally
No, it isn't and no they didn't/don't. E.g. GAO report from 2020 [0]:
> NHTSA’s last substantial update of NCAP was in July 2008 (with changes effective for model year 2011 vehicles). This update established additional crash tests and technical standards to protect vehicle occupants, but did not include pedestrian safety tests.
Or from NHTSA itself in 2022 [1], although note this is a "proposal" and "recommendations":
> For the first time ever, NCAP includes technology recommendations not only for drivers and passengers but for road users outside the vehicle, like pedestrians. The proposal [...]. We look forward to reviewing the comments we receive and considering them as we complete this important work.”
They will/might, by adopting Euro NCAP [2]:
> This final decision notice adds a crashworthiness pedestrian protection program to the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) to evaluate new model year vehicles’ abilities to mitigate pedestrian injuries. Based on its previous research, NHTSA concurs with and adopts most of the European New Car Assessment Programme’s (Euro NCAP) pedestrian crashworthiness assessment methods [...]
> These changes to the New Car Assessment Program are effective for the 2026 model year.
But as of yet, this does not appear on their NCAP ratings: https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings/resources-related-nhtsas-new-c...

> NHTSA conducts frontal, side and rollover tests because these types account for the majority of crashes on America's roadways.
> IIHS tests evaluate two aspects of safety: crashworthiness — how well a vehicle protects its occupants in a crash — and crash avoidance and mitigation — technology that can prevent a crash or lessen its severity.
> As well as assessing how well cars protect their occupants, Euro NCAP tests how well they protect those vulnerable road users – pedestrians and cyclists – with whom they might collide.

Now you come with the weak "you don't have to take the job" and this gem:
> An employee’s lack of boundaries is not an employer’s fault.
As if there isn't a power imbalance, or employers always disclose everything or chance their mind. But of course, let's blame those entitled employees!
But to parent's points: if you call a plumber or HVAC tech at 3am, you'll pay for the privilege.
And doctors and nurses have shifts/rotas. At some tech places, you are expected to do your day job plus on-call. For no overtime pay. "Salaried" in the US or something like that.
And that's assuming the codebase and all dependencies have correct type annotations.
Comparing privacy laws by example is beyond ridiculous. And there are big cultural differences what "privacy" entails.
Are they? More so than usual? This rhetorical device or similar seems to be always used, no matter the situation or time.
"Criminals are so sophisticated, our jobs are so hard, we need more power" - every police force ever.
"We actually need fewer capabilities and more checks and balances" - no police force ever.
> Now they are facing a situation where not just virtually all communications are encrypted
No, they aren't. Phone is unencrypted. Email is unencrypted. SMS is unencrypted. Some messengers are unencrypted.
Communications can be encrypted; I guess only criminals do that. Or banks. Or businesses. Or the government.
> but virtually all forms of evidence that document a crime are encrypted.
No, they aren't. Etc
This thread started by parent telling you how it is in Germany. Meanwhile, you have provided zero data or objective criteria yourself...
If by "my country" you mean the US, it's perfectly happy with taxation without representation. Current examples include the District of Columbia, certain situations in U.S. territories, and permanent residents. Past examples e.g. women.
Nit: You mentioned it can be used "everywhere". That would be a useful feature! But while it's kinda true, there's some quite big limitations IMO
So not only do you need just installed, which is yet another dependency, but either you use the default settings and Windows devs need to have `sh` installed, or you set the shell to Powershell and macOS/Linux devs need to have that installed? Sorry, that doesn't sound great.
Edit: Yes, this seems to be true from https://just.systems/man/en/:
> Linux, MacOS, Windows, and other reasonable unices are supported with no additional dependencies. (Although if your system doesn’t have an sh, you’ll need to choose a different shell.)
> Recipes can be written in arbitrary languages, like Python or NodeJS.
Just no.
Well it usually isn't a mystery. Requiring a developer team to learn k8s likely with no resources, time, or help is not a recipe for success. You might have minimised someone else's ops work, but at what cost?
> But you act like we need some federal authority to say, "okay guys, put housing HERE". That's totally unnecessary: if regulations are streamlined sufficiently, developers will build where demand exists. No central authority required.
Relax. I said no such thing.
>> But we also wouldn't have villages dying in the country-side, and extremely expensive cities/metro-areas.
> ???
> I'm sorry, are you unaware that most jobs aren't remote or something? This is a very strange and simple thing to misunderstand.
I'm just going to quote this for posterity, noting that you cut off "In an ideal world, it works." on purpose. Let's keep things civil, and not try to misrepresent.
For what it's worth, I agree housing is nutty. But few desirable places have solved it. Not in the US, not in Canada, not in Europe. The "just build more" argument seems a bit simplistic. In an ideal world, it works. But we also wouldn't have villages dying in the country-side, and extremely expensive cities/metro-areas.
Time and time again, companies have shown they will cut corners to make money. Much regulation exists to prevent people from being injured or killed, or for other legitimate reasons. Let's at least start by acknowledging that. (Of course petty bureaucrats and regulation do exist.)
> The various regulations were mostly well intentioned, but we've obviously gone too far.
How is this obvious? By the fact there is not enough housing where people want to live, and too much housing in other less desirable places? In the Western world in general? In Canada? In the US? In specific areas of the US/Canada?
> If private companies are unable to provide more of a product even when demand is obvious and prices are high, something is very wrong.
Unable... or unwilling? There's a difference between affordable housing and available housing. And ways to fix that other than flooding the market with so much housing to force an overabundance. That's kind of wasteful, too. For example, allowing developers to pay a one-time fine if they don't provide any affordable options in a new huge apartment block is probably a poor strategy.
I'm all for making things better. The "too much regulation" thing is just a bit too facile of an argument. In the US at least, there usually exist places where there is less regulation. Weirdly, people don't automatically move there.
it isn't too bad, although the fewer proc macros in a code base, the better. declarative macros are slightly easier to grok, but much easier to maintain and test. (i feel the same way about opaque codegen in other languages.)
How does a Java style com.foo.bar or Golang style URL help e.g. mitigate supply chain attacks? For Golang, if you search pkg.go.dev for "jwt" there's 8 packages named that. I'm not sure how they are sorted; it doesn't seem to be by import count. Yes, you can see the URL directly, but crates.io also shows the maintainers. Is "github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5" "better" than "golang.org/x/oauth2/jwt"? Hard to say at a glance.
On the flip side, there have been several instances where Cargo packages were started by an individual, but later moved to a team or adopted. The GitHub project may be transferred, but the name stays the same. This generally seems good.
I honestly can't quite see what the issue is, but I have been wrong many a time before.
I also remember festivals getting more expensive 15-ish years ago, so my friends and me often decided to go hiking instead. IDK if that's a typical case but there are alternative "experiences". With the rise of social media I could understand there's additional incentive to go to more well-known events for the photos, over smaller live-music venues. At least it seems like a lot of photos are taken.
This is all anecdotes, so makes for an unsatisfying answer. But I think it's possible (certain) "experiences are more valuable to generations today". It's at least interesting to consider.
This doesn't mean what Ticketmaster is doing is right, but they are hardly the only ones. E.g. cinemas or theme parks don't use them.
