Java: “Sorry, but the developers of Peanut didn’t declare it to implement the Crackable interface, even though it has all the relevant methods, so if you want to treat it like a nut your choices are write a wrapper class or call those methods using Reflections”
Ditto, but Rust’s traits. God those are so fun. It’s like duck typing a la Python but you can just slap whatever methods you want on a foreign type without worrying about breaking anything because they’re only visible to the current crate (or other crates that import the Trait)
They’re not required here. You just plop your child in your regular car with no changes whilst they’re learning. It’s insane. I bought a magnetic sign to warn people though, because that seems nuts to me.
Is there even a remotely possible chance something like that would work? I have to drive past a ALPR that checks for insurance every day. I wouldn’t mind plastering code across my tailgate in a design that resembles a license plate.
It’s a link to a comment on this subject that says:
Ok, so to explain. This DID happen,literally 500m from my home :) the system was designed to store reg plate numbers and later turned to a speed camera. The stunt was done by a few students of the Technical University, it did bring the whole db down. They tried to revive it, but ultimately the boards have been dead for the past 5 years or so. Mind that this hack was performed around 7 or 8 years ago:) I can provide pics of the dead board now and exact coordinates too:)
And then later in the replies they do give the coordinates of the camera billboard thing they broke, and someone posts a Google Maps screenshot of the board at the coordinates they gave that just looks like a little digital billboard that’s turned off and is just black, and the OP confirms that it is the board they mentioned.
Hope that all makes sense; I’ve got a lot brain fog/stress brain and stuff and it felt like too much to screenshot lol
They tried to revive it, but ultimately the boards have been dead for the past 5 years or so.
That’s a new level of incompetence, even for the government. So, after spending all that tax-payer money, they just let the entire project die rather than have a developer spin up a new database schema, which would take anyone competent like 5 minutes? For real? And these are the people that everyone expects to fix our problems?
Worth a shot. Wouldn’t surprise me if this backwoods town is vulnerable. That being said, I’m open to anyone’s code suggestions and I’ll slap it on there. My coding abilities are limited to BASIC and just enough C to make microcontrollers work.
according to Tartaro, he says he received a notice that the California DMV would not let him renew his registration unless he actually paid some of those fines.
that sounds so illegal. but i am not an american, so what do i know.
Did you read the article? All those fines were from other people, erroneously applied to him when the police officer didn’t fill in the information on the citation.
I doubt the guy had several different car makes on hand to commit some sort of nationwide parking violation spree with the same plate but different cars in places where it’s impossible to even drive between the two places in the time between both timestamps.
California will do a lot more than deny a renewal over unpaid fines. First they’ll double the fine the first day that you are late, and then they’ll add more fees every day until it is paid. Eventually, I think it’s after six months or a year, they’ll suspend your driver’s license, and after that they’ll issue a bench warrant for your arrest. So it’s entirely possible for your whole life to be ruined over a traffic ticket in California, culminating with you being thrown into prison.
ok, but while that is wild in itself, i assume that is under the assumption of them actually being your tickets. here we talk about situation where they demand the hero pays someone else’s tickets just because of the fault of their system.
That aligns perfectly from what I’ve seen from the California DMV. They do not give a fuck. They will do whatever their stupid little antiquated computer program tells them to do.
How the heck does a system interpret a string value null as a literal null? That seems insane to me that there really is software out there written like this. “null” != null… Or so I thought, maybe there are languages out there that this can happen in easily? Or someone is storing the string value of null in a non nullable database column?
Your neighbor is the joke. (real answer: the sticker implies a cop would find being called gay very offensive, to the point of not pulling this person over. In reality the cop would likely just shoot you and say you were evading arrest or something while pissing on your corpse.)
Even better. After you’ve explicitly triggered the default change MS is like “have you tried the all new megacorp spyware? It’s not actually new, but identical to the spyware we already installed and absolutely nothing has changed in the last 10 seconds since you made the decision, but we figured we’d throw another churn barrier at you because fuck you; we own your OS. You’re our product now bitch, and that’s all you’ll ever be”
Corporate Users. My guess is, that almost any office job where you work on a Computer has Windows as OS. You have a license for your job. The license for home usage is bonus money to Microsoft.
Well, on the other hand, said megacorp finances the only other engine (Gecko, Blink being a fork of Apples Webkit), so they don’t have to bother with monopoly restrictions.
I realize this, but technically Mozilla is still an independent entity. They also fight some Google attempts at Web DRM, so it’s still healthy competition
and web standards! chrome doesn’t care much about web standards. they regularly add new nonstandard proprieties that eventually wins because of their market-size.
identify - maybe, prove it at the court of law - somewhere between hard and impossible.
say you have found all these “not that many” cars, and now what? you would have (may slightly depend on the local law) prove who is the driver. that may be impossible, even if you have photo of the driver and photo of the suspected owner and you “think” they match.
the car also doesn’t have to be local, whatever your threshold for what local is is.
