Re:200k Flemish drivers can turn traffic lights green on Monday July 28, 2025 @04:54AM (#44708765)
In Melbourne, Australia, a long time ago, they embedded weight sensors in the road for a lot of intersections, so they can react dynamically to traffic conditions.

I live in Berlin, which doesn't have such sensors and it's always frustrating waiting for lights to change when there's no traffic.

This ain't great for Github Actions, as PRs might now fail as there are no secrets available, randomly depending on your runner's IP

Also it still takes some gymnastics to optionally support docker creds in a workflow https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/131321

I opened this on Twitter using the in app browser on iOS 16.4, after I closed the browser, it continued to play the music whenever I bring twitter to the foreground!

I bought my son his first computer, with Windows 11. I created a child account with myself as the adult to authorise it.

But when I tried to log in to authorise his account with my Microsoft account, I got an error

"It's not you, it's us"

Turns out I had to switch my country to the same as my child's, the error message being completely useless

agreed, especially with a couple of 4k monitors, it's a long mouse journey on macOS

One of the biggest barriers against adoption of these newer formats is the lack of pure java implementations for use server side.

The Java wrappers around a native binary are helpful, but for many projects not very useful and this hinders adoption.
