EVs will have cheaper up-front costs within 3 years for a in-city car, and by 2030 for longer-range models, according to most honest research.

They are already cheaper for TCO, unless you add the artificial constraint that it is only charged at a “public fast-charger...in Europe.”

Biggest issue is cost of level 2 home chargers and apartment resident charging.

Yeah this is exactly what the author was talking about - this absurd “well actually everything is a Ponzi scheme!”.

If you think that wall street investors are the same as gamblers and the entire American economy is a Ponzi scheme then you have lost touch with reality. You have quite literally got to the point where your definitions have expanded to the point of being meaningless.
It,s true, when there is no pointer to speak of, you have no choice but to make it keyboard-accessible. I think accommodating DOS users is one of the reasons Windows started off so accessible to the keyboard. Compare that to Mac, which started off with a GUI and mouse, and to this day remains inaccessible to keyboard by default.

Happy to see another DJ nerd here.

Mixxx's timecode engine is powered by xwax:

https://sourceforge.net/p/xwax/mailman/xwax-devel/ I'm pretty sure there was a thread on the mailing list where they talked about it.

My understanding is that there are "directional" and "positional" signals on the timecode to give you "relative" and "absolute" positioning.

You may be able to glean more from mspinkys as well: http://www.mspinky.com/SoftwareSpec_0.0.6.pdf (no code here, just function names and descriptions)

Good luck!
In a chapter about deconstructing someone else's book, your own book also does dangerous things according to yourself:

> The problem is, as with every book with code ever in the universe, beginners will copy that code out and use it somewhere else and then the function is wrong.

Yet, if a beginner copied some of the code in this chapter they'd have the exact bug you are talking about here (using the NULL pointer returned from malloc()).

I think you should probably expand that into the safer checks (don't forget to free(line) if longest is NULL too!).
Alright my friend, here's the gist:

https://gist.github.com/zedshaw/c20a69f17578909523c4

The rules:

1. You said you can make that for-loop run forever that can call it and it'll enter an infinite loop.
2. To prove that, you can only alter the main function, then hand me back the code and I'll compile it and run it on my machines.
3. It has to run without stopping for 24 hours. If you can do that then I'll consider that an "infinite loop".
4. You can't call any more functions than what's in there already. So no fancy hacks to keep the OS from allowing segfaults by putting in signal handlers, linking against other libraries, or anything.

Very curious how you do this. This is fun!

Edit: And, I may not be checking comments so email me to gloat if you figure it out. help@learncodethehardway.org any time. You can also post it here. Just link me the reply so I can go look.

From what I know, python is usually the first language that newbies get pointed to when they ask where to start. It's easy to read, understand, and has a ton of libraries.

Plus python is older, and I think gained more popularity than ruby (before rails came along).
Not really. Most useful technologies can be used in crime and we'd get nowhere if we allowed that fact to be used as an argument against the technology.

Not a Mathematician and one should chime in.

The relationship you're sensing appears very general, in the sense that "is there a relationship between Category Theory and Linguistics?" I definitely think there's a relationship because that's how the human intellect operates, everything is a relationship, but I do not think there is an intrinsic and meaningful relationship outside the context of general cognition.

I think Semiotics is important and the study of what the symbols in Category Theory are or why they are used is a meaningful study (and would enable a deeper understanding) but I don't think it's a prerequisite for comprehending Category Theory itself.
Self-aggrandizing hyperbole.
Hack the Hackpad currently is not shipped product. It is a hack I put together over 5 or so days over the christmas season to test out the functionality and get feedback.

Beta user here. The phone ringing is literally my nightmare as the head a of product team. We are entirely remote and globally distributed, so async is our religion.

We were using Signal and Voxer together, as our specific use case requires nuance that voice is great for. We tried Loom but like Voxer, it just adds this linear playback experience that's so painful at scale.

Being able to speak in realtime, but review at a glance, is amazing. Verbz is indispensable to teams like ours in a kind of "it's so obvious you want voice and text at once" kind of way. The task allocation thing is already "hey that's cool" but seeing their roadmap, gets me excited. Of course, everyone and their dog will copy Verbz now, it's pathetic that Messenger and WhatsApp don't do this by default, so it's the "cool other stuff" they're adding that I'm curious to see. But even as a beta user I don't get shown everything so YMMV.
deliverers aren't a homogenous group. What's the threshold for acceptance by members of this group to determine the level has been met? 51%? 70%? 90%? Something else.

That said, I think you do need consensus beyond those that are party to a transaction because you're arguing that the rest of society needs to be involved via the legislative process (politicians, voters, etc.). If enforcement society, society needs to be involved in the consensus. If society isn't involved in enforcement via any laws, yeah, only those involved need to be involved.

The only working datetime solution is JSR310.

It has separate types for

• LocalTime (milliseconds after midnight)

• LocalDate (julian day),

• LocalDateTime (julian day and milliseconds after midnight),

• Instant (nanoseconds since EPOCH),

• ZonedDateTime (which is a point in time with a timezone, and exposes both the localdatetime and the instant APIs)

All of these types have a reason to exist, and definitely shouldn't be mixed together (like python does).

• If I program an alarm clock, I'll want to use LocalTime. Even if DST starts/ends, you still wanna get woken up at 8am.

• My birthday is a LocalDate. It usually has no time information, and usually isn't depending on a timezone. An anniversary is the same.

• The moment when a loggable event happened is an Instant. The event doesn't care about timezones, only the exact time it happened.

• A calendar event is a ZonedDateTime: the meeting will happen at 10am CET, regardless of which timezone I'm in at that point.

All these types describe different concepts, and they shouldn't be mixed together. Every language should adopt JSR310. Yes, it's relatively complicated, but it's extremely precise and accurate.

And you can convert them all!

•LocalDate + LocalTime becomes LocalDateTime

• LocalDateTime.atZone(ZoneId or ZoneOffset) becomes ZonedDateTime

• Instant.atZone(ZoneId or ZoneOffset) becomes ZonedDateTime

• ZonedDateTime.toInstant() or ZonedDateTime.toLocalDateTime() exposes local datetime and instant.

• LocalDate can easilybe converted to JapaneseDate, HebrewDate, ArabicDate.

100% ridiculous, yet not a problem that couldn't use a solution in its context.
It's super-contrary to the spirit of this blog in particular. This is a quarter step away from renouncing barter of any kind. It's also kind of against the idea in the abstract too. "Off-grid," self sufficiency and DIY are pretty closely related.

None of that matters though, and you're right. Punk rock was DIY too. That doesn't mean music companies didn't eventually produce it like any other pop music.
Beeping? Like a lorry backing up? Even a low pitch beeping would become annoying pretty quickly. It should just be a sort of hum.
Agreed. This reminds me of PG's comments re: founders with accents. While the spelling/grammar errors don't necessarily preclude understanding in this case, they also don't exactly inspire confidence. You guys are clearly talented and onto something here -- but this is a weakness. Luckily, it's one that's easily addressed. Ask a friend or someone in your batch to proofread the copy, pay someone the small amount it would take to have it read nicely for end users, whatever.. just get it done. You'll see a good return on that money.
It'd be awesome if CrunchBase had a visual browser like this.
Why wouldn't a mixer steal from a thief? To keep their credibility? To continue to get business? If you're gonna get a 3% cut to launder a lot of BTC, are you gonna just jack the entire first 100BTC order? Or let it pass and keep your 3BTC and hope for repeat business?

Of course you wouldn't send all the BTC at once through the mixer in one transaction.
Think about all this specialization.

This is what a "good economy" looks like. Parents who work long hours so they can afford to rent some great apartment and buy stuff for their family. They outsource a lot of the childcare to professional nannies or whoever. They outsource a lot of the elder care to nursing homes etc. People are getting married later in life so they can focus on their career. Individualism, kids moving out early, trying to impress each other with great apartments etc.

We are materially richer, but what about the social connections?

Similarly with technology. Take birthdays, for example. On their birthday people used to get personal phone calls, possibly emails. Then facebook made it easy to just write "happy birthday" on someone's wall, and see who else wrote it. Then, to increase "engagement" (or the appearance thereof), they let you write a quick note right where the birthday reminder appeared, on the right-hand pane. Now you couldn't even see what others wrote, and sometimes would breeze through, personalizing the greetings slightly "Happy birthday girl! Older and sexier they say."

Now, people are complaining that they have to get through so many birthday wishes on their wall and write a semi-personalized "thanks" response to each one. So the remaining step is to make an app to automate this. So the end result is we'll have nearly automatic sending and nearly automatic thanking, basically robots talking to robots, while the whole experience of birthday wishes is automated away from humans.
What people say are their values and the values revealed by their actions can be different. Moreover one can express certain values in pursuit of goals that are incompatible with those values. This is styled hypocrisy and the bourgeoisie such as Thiel are very used to this.
It is really common that you read only a glimpse of the entire text and trick yourself to have understood it, only realizing that mistake later. In some sense the text gives you too much information that your brain can cause frame drop, that's something you should be aware when you read the text (you for example need to rephrase the understood text yourself). By comparison a well-paced video can give the exact amount of information you have to tinker before moving on. I do agree that a well-paced video is much rarer than a well-written text in the whole internet.

What in gods name is hubspot and how do I keep ending up on it’s website. It sounds like a CRM but they have a side hustle of producing blogposts about every topic under the sun?

Do you have legal rights or restrictions outside of society? Living in society inherently means having a discussion of enforced boundaries and imposed burdens.
And besides all that, hibernate is fundamentally more complex than sleep. With sleep, when waking up the computer resumes directly to the already loaded operating system in RAM, and the operating system "only" has to restore all the hardware state. With hibernate, the computer does a clean boot of a fresh copy of the operating system, which has to initialize all hardware, read the hibernation image, de-initialize (quiesce and/or power off) all hardware, and finally jump to the copy of the operating system found in the hibernation image, which only then will restore all hardware state.
This is correct. All the scare studies coming out had no denominator of number of people infected and only used the numerator of severe cases. There’s a reason long COVID is bogus and no studies have come out on it. It doesn’t exist. Perhaps these lockdowns have caused depression/anxiety and thus symptoms like fatigue and headaches...

*Even flu can cause scary effects like temporary paralysis in children
I replaced my 2500K a couple years ago using the cheapest AMD components I could find. The main improvements were mostly in the chipset/motherboard:

- The PCIe 2.0 lanes on the old CPU were throttling my NVMe drive to 1GB/sec transfer rates.

- USB3 compatibility and USB power delivery were vastly more reliable. My old 2500K ASUS motherboard couldn't power a Lenovo VR headset for example, and plugging too many things into my USB hub would cause device dropouts.

- Some improvement in either DDR4 memory bandwidth or latency fixed occasional loading stalls I'd see in games when transitioning to new areas. Even with the same GPU, before the upgrade games would lock up for about half a second sometimes and then go back to running in 60fps.
> It seems you think their mistake was using C in the first place, and not the way they used C.

I mean, guns are restricted in all countries, while of course it's the way guns are used that is truly what people take issue with. If you hang it up on your own wall and never take it off, nobody has an issue with your gun, but enforcement of that is nigh impossible and so we restrict the ownership to policemen and allow only things like hunting rifles for the small group that still likes to go hunting.

As someone working in security, I'd make a similar though obviously less extreme case for unsafe languages like C. If you don't need it, then why use something that you can shoot yourself in the foot with? You put other people at risk through using it incorrectly and it's nigh impossible to enforce secure coding. Many people seem to think that you need C++, C, or assembly to write fast code whereas nowadays there are plenty of alternatives without some of C's biggest issues.
I hope this point does not get lost in the shuffle. This whole issue is very much due to the fact that Dropbox did not handle the initial reporting of this problem when it was announced.

Their initial solution to the problem was updating the TOS and calling it a day. DropShip proved there was a deeper problem that needed to be addressed and the fact that their solution did not start and end with a fix to the problem in the code is mind-blowing. This isn't a huge enterprise company. These guys should know better.
No DMCA takedown requests were sent to GitHub. We simply nicely asked the author of Dropship to take down the link and he fully understood our position and took the code down.

The only erroneous use of DMCA was when we attempted to take down the link on Dropbox, which was an entirely honest mistake.
Lots of folks stand up all day for work. They tend to complain about their feet hurting.

We're obviously designed for some kind of sitting. Our bodies bend very comfortably that way. If you walk uphill for ten miles, your body really wants to sit down on the nearest log or rock to take a rest (though how this was supposed to be comfortable back when we used to be naked is a mystery to me). I have no doubt that our ancestors used to sit down to rest. Probably to eat, and to drink water, and to talk, and to weave those loincloths which would be necessary to make sitting down on a log much less uncomfortable.

Our backs and feet suck for standing all day. Mind you, our backs and feet suck for pretty much everything.
It's not a violation until they rewrite their TOS to make it one. Dropbox is indulging in handwaving.
Any news on fixing the exploit? Is the option being considered by dropbox?

"when we disabled public sharing of that file by hash"

Sorry, I may sound harsh, it's not my intention, but I have to ask: how often does it happen that you disable public sharing of files you don't like?
This is pretty sweet because you could then also use Juce to write other kinds of synth engines and then also have a similar process to Dex (which also uses Juce) to turn your vst/au plugin into a hardware synth.
It is an oxymoron, you're thinking of a military style. It's solidly authoritarian, but commanders in the field have freedom to make certain decisions independently in recognition of the limits of pure top-down command. That freedom is not borne of e.g. recognition of the rights of man as it is in a libertarian state.
It does. They get a base salary, plus a 2% commission from each model they monitor.
I think you're spot-on. If anything, it's closer to 99%. I've run/managed various forums over the years, and the disparity between the active participants and the passive readers was always wider than you'd think.

(No idea whether you'll read this, but...)

> I know you're trying to come at this from a "things could be worse" perspective

Nope, not really, I get that it matters, and how it matters.

I have two related points:

1) It matters, but it definitely doesn't matter to the magnitude that you think it does, right now - it's just one of many factors that matter. Yep, you've lost this one, so rely on your other good areas and if it helps your mindset, find some others to optimise instead. (Like, lose weight, or get ripped, get a better tan, etc.)

2) More importantly, though, your response to losing your hair is self-sabotaging: by taking it so badly, and so obviously losing confidence as a result, you're massively exacerbating the effect. Your response to your hair-loss is what is causing "...pretty much social suicide" - not the hair loss itself.

One day, I suspect you'll come through how you're currently feeling (with or without therapy?) and you'll probably have forgotten this exchange, but you'll see I'm right. But given the fickle nature of confidence, I totally get that you can't believe that right now.

PS read The Game [0] - not for the PUA nonsense, but for Neil Strauss' account of losing his hair, and how his mentality changed about it over time.

>Because the market is finite in size

How though? How can the market stay a same size while berkshire size went from 1 billion to 100 billion. Where is 100 fold investment coming in if the market stays at a constant size. That doesn't compute. Why wouldn't the market also expand at like the investments.
Really? It seems obvious to me that the kinds of people on HN would have interesting thoughts about this. There's often a commenter with first hand experience who gives great context that's hard to find elsewhere, e.g. somebody who knows about missiles or the government presence in the region or who is/was a commercial pilot.
I'm confused, isn't this just a high power AC unit, common in many other countries? In many countries they are used for both cooling in summer and heating in winter. Am I missing something?
