On January 10, 2014 in the Spanish city of Burgos, the local government and a cabal of real estate developers were pushing ahead with a project to gentrify a working class neighborhood by constructing a fancy new boulevard. The neighbors of Gamonal held a protest and the police attacked, sparking four consecutive nights of rioting in which people destroyed banks and construction equipment, and fought with police.

Afterwards, they continued holding protests demanding the unconditional release of those arrested, and they organized blockades to prevent construction. The mayor initially announced that the project would continue unabated. Solidarity protests were organized in dozens of other cities across the country, leading to riots/clashes in Madrid, Barcelona, Zaragoza, and the colony of Melilla. In Barcelona, multiple banks were smashed, Town Hall was attacked, and a central police station was attacked, forcing police to temporarily retreat. The gentrification project was subsequently cancelled.

You can read more about how this played out in our book The Failure of Nonviolence by Peter Gelderloos.

The Failure of Nonviolence by Peter Gelderloos

In the years since the end of the Cold War many new social movements have started peacefully, only to adopt a diversity of tactics as they grew in strength and collective experiences.

The State Department will use the Turkish government’s preferred spelling, #Türkiye, instead of #Turkey, a spokesman said on Thursday. The decision was made in response to a request from the Turkish Embassy.

I'm thinking about getting a "new" used car. Unfortunately, tests of driver assistance / "self driving" systems don't seem to be any better than they were three years ago when I wrote danluu.com/car-safety/.

No one's doing anything resembling what a programmer would consider serious benchmarking and it doesn't look like anyone is going to either even though driver assistance / ADAS systems are becoming a more important part of safety over time.

How do cars fare in crash tests they're not specifically optimized for?

so it's now nearly impossible for the general public to make judgments about automotive safety except in cases where the company repeatedly ships extremely shoddy software, e.g., Tesla with mastodon.social/@danluu/109514…, twitter.com/kenklippenstein/st…, etc., but Uber was the only other company putting something so obviously bad on the roads, so this doesn't give you much information.

FWIW, I'd say that BMW has the best methodology I know of among cars you can buy (I updated the post to reflect that), but

every company I know of that's selling a "shipping" car has a methodology that you'd consider "move fast and break things" if they were a software company; the spectrum runs from "nearly completely untested, relies heavily on vendor's components working when connected (essentially never verified) while pushing vendors to add unsafe features to reduce cost or increase velocity" to "moves quickly and cuts corners that create significant risk".

Just for example, a semi-typical story is

This evening I pushed a #Prosody community module that acts as a #UnifiedPush server. It allows apps on your phone to receive push notifications, using #XMPP as the delivery channel instead of Google's proprietary FCM or regular polling.

It uses a protocol devised and implemented by @daniel and all credit goes to him for this idea and first implementations.

It's all experimental stuff, but I'm already using it to get realtime notifications in #Fedilab 🙂

In exciting async news: the stabilization of `std::pin::pin!` has been accepted, and will be coming to stable on #Rust on 1.68.0!

This will enable "stack pinning" entirely from safe Rust, replacing many of the uses for `Box::pin`, the unsafe `Pin::new_unchecked`, and external crates such as `pin-utils`!

/// Run a future to completion on the current thread. fn block_on<T>(fut: impl Future<Output = T>) -> T { // Pin the future so it can be polled. let mut fut = Box::pin(fut); // Current ("box pinned") let mut fut = pin::pin!(fut); // Rust 1.68.0 ("stack pinned") //... }

Time to head down to the MIDI room again to pull another file off the shelves. This time, it's a song called Winde me Up. The music box sound on the Roland SC-88 and newer is one of my favorite SOUNDS on the Sound Canvas. This file is quite a good demonstration of the sound. I feel like it works very well for cute compositions like this, and I prefer it over the newer music box that appears on the SC-8850. This was composed by @freakyfwoof. MIDI download (was composed on an SC-88ST Pro and will likely sound best on that unit or compatible software): dropbox.com/s/dvfkjhdy59smkf8/…

This is similar in spirit to arewefastyet.com or the WebKit perf tracker; the idea is to make some well-defined benchmarks to see how the library behaves as development progresses.

I hope we can have something visible soon!
