I'm always in the same situation. I have only driven manual transmission cars and trucks my entire life. I grew up in the mountains and with a lot of snow, so it was the preferred transmission for almost everyone. Now I live in sunny Florida, but I still prefer it for the feeling of being more connected to the car, more control, more enjoyable for me, and just really as a car guy I'm a bit of a purist.

What I've resorted to now that I don't live in a state where they're as common, is to buy all my cars via Autotrader/similar. It opens the market up to much more variety and choice as well as I usually find a better deal than I would locally.

Give it a try. It's scary to buy a vehicle long distance, but even with the cost of flying out and driving it back, I usually save money and always get exactly what I want. Just make sure before you go out yourself to ask a ton of questions and get a local mechanic to go take a look.
I am from Brazil, here the population hates "hydramatic" cars as they call automatic cars.

I saw one accident that the cause was lack of transmission knowing the future:

road crossing, bad road signs didn't made clear who had priority, so both drivers went forward.

Both cars tried then to stop, but the automatic car instead had just shifted up, then as the driver tried to stop, it lurched forward and hit the other car, then it spun and crashed on the wall of a school.

The automatic car was a sports car from the 70s though, so I guess the transmission was even more dangerous.
Ah, yeah, I see how what I wrote was not clear.

Cruise control was significantly worse than driving it normally, at least when I was at the wheel.

The route is a very hilly one, so I somewhat suspect it's that the cruise control was not very good at knowing when to accelerate and when to coast.
Maybe criminals are more subtle now. For example most people who own devices that are part of the Mirai botnet are not aware of it.

BLU Products has identified and has quickly removed a recent security issue caused by a 3rd party application which had been collecting unauthorized personal data in the form of text messages, call logs, and contacts from customers using a limited number of BLU mobile devices.

The affected application has since been self-updated and the functionality verified to be no longer collecting or sending this information.

This is something I just recently thought about as well. I somehow take projects hosted on Github alternatives less serious - even though I probably shouldn't. If you want to host your project on a Github alternative I recommend using Gitlab, which I think is best alternative to Github. Bitbuckets UI is just so cluttered that I often bounce after a few seconds.

Ask HN: What to use after SQLite?
All

I love SQLite and use it to for a client/server web app. I'm fully aware it's designed for embedded application use but the developers encourage you to use it for client/server task if the concurrency is relatively small. [1]

My web app has grown and I'm now running into currency issues.

What do you recommend to replace SQLite?

I love the simply, how small it is (code base, install, resources) and focus on being bug free of SQLite.

But am worried that replacing SQLite with something like MySQL or Postgres is replacing SQLite with a slow and heavy tank.

Does anyone have any good recommendation on what database I should move to next?

[1] https://sqlite.org/whentouse.html
I'm no expert but have always found the O'Reilly books helpful.

Also... well I'm not sure what HN's policy is on sources/linking but let's just say that you could search right now for "Classic Shell Scripting pdf" or "Learning the Bash Shell pdf" and find those fairly quickly online...

While in theory everything could be made to work fine and the right people would be held accountable and dropped from any use, probably this is where some form of vertical integration starts to really matter in practice.
I have a different take on this (sort of). I think it's enormously empowering that anyone in the world can be a "publisher" and reach millions of people with stories through the internet.

The next phase of this evolution, I think, will be to ensure that we train humanity how to deal with this. I think it could be as simple as working hard to improve everyone's ability to (a) build an argument about something, and (b) to critique someone else's argument about something.

Once we (the majority of the general public) know how arguments are constructed and what is required to "prove" or "disprove" them, we'll be a far healthier world.

I agree with your conclusion but not the comparison.

The context at the moment is that there are many rabid, racist, some violent, followers of these sites out there who have recently felt validated.

If your gentle website "dedicated to the heritage, identity, and future of people of African descent in the United States, and around the world." had a similar atmosphere of whipped up feeling around it, potentially leading to abuse/violence, I'd expect exactly the same response, or at least the need for response.

Whether the response is correct or not, as you suggest, is another matter, but your comparison doesn't accept the context of current events.

The key figure, I think, is number of fatalities per billion vehicle Kilometers. For the USA that is 7.1. Unfortunately, Americans drive A LOT MORE than most other countries, so raw annual fatality count is very high (~34K). By comparison UK has 3.6 fatalities/billion KM and fatality count of 1.8K. Population ratio is ~6:1 US:UK. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic-r...)

There are other countries where fatalities are much higher.
> The current movement away from exceptions, which I think started with Go, feels like backsliding, especially because most of the justifications for error code primacy that I see either ignore the actual (instead of mythologized) costs of exceptions or claim that exceptional code is a hardship inconsistent with my experience.

I don't think it comes from Go; rather it comes from the ML family (which Rust is arguably a member of). ML has had exceptions and error codes for decades, and ultimately that experience has come down on the side of error codes, because with good sum types and higher-order functions they are safer and more effective than exceptions. An analogy: early fighter planes were aerodynamically unstable, as it was hard to make them maneuverable any other way. Later fighter planes were stable as this was safer and easier to control. Modern fighter planes are aerodynamically unstable, as modern control systems can control such planes effectively and the original advantages remain.

I think it's more nuanced than that. Lack of proof doesn't necessarily make reports false. I wouldn't report every low-threshold hate speech incident to the police, nor do I think it's reasonable to expect every personal report to come with video evidence or a list of named witnesses. If you became a victim, would you refrain from posting it on social media just because you don't have evidence that would hold up in court?

There's a difference between being skeptical and making a blanket statement that most/all of the reports are fake. The latter itself is a claim that puts the burden of proof on you.
I have noticed systemic abuse of ad hominem labeling anyone who doesn't lavish high praise and criticizes instead.

Please show some emapthy and think about how the code could be improved instead, so these criticisms can be addressed with a practical solution.

In this particular case, all my criticisms can be addressed by offering a manual transmission option with a dry clutch, not even code optimization is required.

Also, as a firmware writer, you know that all such source code is under strict non-disclosure agreements, and whatever I know or have seen, I wouldn't be at liberty to discuss or cite, or else I risk legal penalties. We're neither anonymous nor protected here.

As for unikernel, any firmware or subsystem concerned with one task - such as running a vehicle - is by definition a unikernel - all firmware is, as its running one single monolithic application image.

Developers versus mechanical engineers - in this context a mechanical engineer is also a developer, just of the transmission, and they often write the software themselves, too.

Finally, as a firmware writer, please explain to me why there is a lag between depressing an accelerator pedal in a 2011 Volkswagen Golf, why the engine will often konk out unless the accelerator pedal is pressed fully when starting on a hill, and why a 2012 Buick LaCrosse will display "shift denied" on the dashboard when I try to upshift from 5th to 6th going at 1,400 RPM, which would put me at 1,200 RPM, well within the engine's ability to continue running efficiently?
I realize you received a few of these comments already, but please also check out India if you think driving a manual improves safety and courtesy.
The reason why an EV would outperform most motors is mutli-fold

1. No cold starting. The engine is on as soon as you push power in.
2. Equal torque at all speeds
3. The lack of a need for a transmission. All "gears" can be controlled by how much power you're feeding

The EV is more like a solid state transistor verses a relay. They do similar things, they're good for different applications, but the transistor has some nice features that makes it better in some key aspects (like raw performance).
Google forbids OEMs from un-bundling it-s other services not android. OEMs have the choice to build an Android with no Google service whatsoever like Amazon or some Chinese OEMs are doing.

no, but job adverts are written asking for people to write code and often take tests to show they can write code.

Resumes and interviews seem to be heavily focused on if yu can write code. And there will be lots of talk about how much code you have written in the past.

which I guess is what the article is really railing against - but what it comes down to is in theory you're not paid to write code, in practice you are.
Every automatic car I've ever seen has had the ability to downshift to engage engine braking. (Even the CVT in cars like the Prius has an engine braking mode.) I've seen advocates of manual transmissions cite a lack of engine braking as a reason to switch in multiple conversations, so I've gotten the impression that a lot of people just aren't taught how to drive an automatic properly. (Do they not talk about this in driver's ed? I don't even remember anymore.)

> You wouldn't abort by default when you run out of disk space, would you?

If most of the language and standard library required allocating disk space to function then I would indeed abort by default, because very few programs would be able to do anything useful in those conditions, so the most useful thing is to fail fast.

It's possible to design a language and standard library that can remain usable in out-of-memory conditions, but the costs would be severe, and not justified for the overwhelming majority of rust use cases, I think.

> Nobody pays for a lump of code, they pay for a tool that solves a problem they have.

A more cynical situation, which I have seen all too often, is that they pay for the line items on the RFP. Whether or not those features will ever be used or are in any way beneficial.
Nowadays it pays well to be a programmer (oh wait, developer; engineer; whatever title helps you rationalize), programming-qua-profession has exploded (it even draws the feminists... why aren't they into carpentary? draws governments, America Codes!), and articles are written with the assumption that everyone wants to be a good cog (oh, employee) and consider business needs above all, play good by the team, understand why company interests are always more important. If you don't do (think) this or that, well, you're just not being a professional! Why would BigImportantEntity, or anyone for that matter, hire you?

It's much easier for many people to come up with these articles than it is to write something technical.

I write code since forever, addicted to it. I happen to be in a field that pays good money for my addiction. So far, despite the stupidity of the profession, things turn out mostly OK. Why does someone pay me? Don't care. As long as the relationship is beneficial to me, it's OK. I feel I have more in common with starving artists in other fields, than some corporate official looking out for business interests. So I'd be a starving programmer in a parallel world where programming is not a hot profession. Now, if I had my own business, then I brought all these nontechnical issues upon myself. But then, I'll pay myself for whatever reason I want.
> High school friction is wrong.

No, it's at least mostly correct. High school friction says

F = mu * W

Where F is the output force, mu is the coefficient of friction, and W is the normal force (typically equal to the weight).

If it's failed you, it's failed in failing to mention that the tire-road interface can have a coefficient of friction greater than one, and in failing to mention that the normal force can be increased with aerodynamic downforce.

> Even on a twelve hour flight why can't people just eat before boarding

Even then some people would get hungry again after a couple of hours, and our instincts made feeling hungry rather unpleasant. So we want to eat. Granted if I knew a plane wouldn't serve me any food I wouldn't bother and just take my own. To avoid not having ay food for twelve hours.

Same argument: when not a sleep it's not really uncommon to get hungry within that timestamp.
