OK, but I should be able to buy any part - OEM if it is "computerized" or aftermarket if it is not - and have it installed by any trained mechanic, no matter if they are licensed or not.

I read stories that Tesla disabled cars that have been repaired too much, and that you have to have them certified and unlocked again. They always claim security and user experience grounds, but of course the main motive is maximizing profit. Apple does this, John Deere does this, basically every company who can afford to does this.

I wish they would be honest enough to say first, yup, we do this so we can charge more money for repairs and spare parts. Second, we have no other choice because our competitors do this too and we have to maximize profit. And then I hope third we get strong right to repair laws as a result. I heard in the US the situation for cars is actually not too bad as the manufacturer cannot void your warranty for installing third party parts, but there is always room for improvement.

I don't need the ability to "tinker" with my car. But in the end, I buy it, and I want it to be 100% "loyal" to me and not to the manufacturer - like a stupid hammer, or a bicycle. That should be a legal principle IMO.
And it works, doesn't it?
This was a year ago, I can't find the video I used, it was also max 5-10 seconds. I remember I did the video by recording powerpoint slides, so I used phone or screen recording to record and then each slide of the powerpoint would move to the next one when I clicked or wanted animations. The powerpoint slides had pictures and texts. It was very amateur.

This was the app, I'm in Canada: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/lucid-see-who-likes-you/id12...

I contacted them through Instagram and explained my app and asked if they wanted to post the video for me. Some said yes. Some didn't. I think I also framed it as marketing experience for them too but I'm not too sure what I said exactly, I didn't really have any money at the time. Also some were friends of friends of friends and it wasn't as strange in asking them to post but I still didn't know these people.

I'm not as focussed on the app anymore and sometimes maintain it, I keep it more as a side project link for my resume.

Overall, you just need to be brave enough to message them, I was a bit shy and unsure at first and then afterwards I got used to it because it's easier to communicate online and it was the cheapest alternative I could think of.

Did you ever tried org-mode with org-babel? If not only see few video about org-mode reproducible research / emacs on YT&c :-) in terms of reproducibility Nix{,OS} and Guix{,SD} offer really nice tools to achieve full-stack reproducibility without the need of publish multi-Mb/Gb archives, only a text file .nix or scheme can do the business.

Also ESS inside Emacs it's another nice working environment, perhaps is not as "natural at first impact" like a spreadsheet but I bet NO ONE after a week of (self) training will found spreadsheet better or even usable.
Office/business, not "consumer".

I spent some time trying to understand googles ads and seo structure for a project, as a sysadmin. My conclusion was the reason greyhat and blackhat techniques werent dealt with was because they make too much money from it... I wrote a big report on it, but that was the gist. Im sure the same is true of MS et al.
Rewinding Foo Fighters Touring History
I should've clarified in my original post my preferences regarding the Mac OS.

When it comes to overall systems, I believe that Mac OS X is the pinnacle of the Mac due to its combined usability and stability, and I also believe that the Mac as a platform peaked around the Snow Leopard era (2009-11). Mac OS X has the usability and consistency of the Mac platform with the stability of Unix. Even though Mac OS X hasn't gotten worse since Snow Leopard, unfortunately it hasn't dramatically improved since then; if it weren't for the necessity of modern browsers and security updates, I could still be productive on a computer running Snow Leopard. And the hardware situation since 2012 has been discussed on Hacker News numerous times.

However, when it comes to usability alone, I have a soft spot for the classic Mac OS. Personally I believe the classic Mac OS's interface is actually more user-friendly than Mac OS X's (Mac OS is really simple with its controls and its spatial Finder, while Mac OS X is more complex due to its NeXT roots), and I also believe that the Mac platform back then was more compliant with Apple's user interface guidelines than today (although unfortunately I don't know of a way I could measure this). I find Apple's A/UX and Rhapsody projects to be quite interesting attempts to bridge the classic Mac environment with Unix. I also like the conservative choices that Apple made at the time regarding color. While Mac OS X's Aqua is quite impressive, there's something about the subdued atmosphere of Mac OS, whether it's the original black-and-white interfaces of System 6, the light touches of color in System 7, or the Platinum theme from Mac OS 8 and 9, which is still quite conservative compared to Aqua.

No type system would measurably help in this case since we necessarily had to deal with browser behaviour which wasn't exactly standardised and tended to change from version to version.
We have had few point&click text-based systems in the past, notably Plan9 and Xerox Alto and only the letter have a complete "user friendly graphic programming environment"... I think a simpler approach like org-mode/org-babel is the best we have now out of the box.
According to an article published in 1996 by Ihaka and Gentleman:

“The work has been heavily influenced by two existing
languages-Becker, Chambers, and Wilks' S (1985) and Steel and Sussman's Scheme (1975). We felt that there were strong points in each of these languages and that it would
be interesting to see if the strengths could be combined. The resulting language is very similar in appearance to S, but the underlying implementation and semantics are derived
from Scheme. In fact, we implemented the language by first writing an interpreter for a Scheme subset and then progressively mutating it to resemble S.”

If you want to get into how things scale, this is essential. You might have heard someone say "the real equation is dimensionless". Well there's something to it.

There's a bunch of flow related stuff that ends up being all about dimensional analysis. Basically, things aren't as simple as multiplying all the quantities by a constant.

Probably the one everybody's heard of is "what would happen if animal X were bigger/smaller" -> weight goes up ^3, but cross section of legs ^2. Heat escapes ^2 but is generated ^3.

It depends a bit on how many of those videos exist and what kind of view counts they get. In this case the number are so small that they almost certainly do. I you were targeting say 100,000 subscribers tangentially related channels might be your only option.

Similar accessibility problems already exist with the current interface of keyboard, mouse, and screen. If you have a physical disability making it impossible for you to type, use a mouse, or, are blind or colorblind, you require specialized software or hardware.

There is no reason why Dynamiclands can't similarly have specialized hardware and software for people with various disabilities.

Plus, a more natural/human interface might be more _accessible_.
Ah-hah. You may have been one of the anonymous two people I was chatting to :)

Were you the person who was trying to claim a piece of territory as their own?

Fascinating social experiment: when faced with a blank slate, what do humans do? Some converse, but others decide they need to claim a piece of that slate as solely theirs...
A lot of contradicting testimonies in this thread, I don't know what to believe anymore.

Type checked against what, if a variable doesn't have a type?

There are contexts in which two values are involves, where we can at least check that the types are matching (or reasonably compatible), like (a + b). JS is a massive failure in that regard, too, and there are dynamic languages that do it far better - e.g. in Python, ("1" + 2) is a runtime type error, not 3.

But in the context of this thread, I feel that's not what we're talking about. We're really talking about contracts - and contracts require typed bindings (variables, function arguments etc), not just typed values. Which means that they do require static type annotations. As we've discussed in another subthread, those annotations might be checked dynamically - but they still have to be declared statically by the coder, which makes the type system effectively static from their perspective.

To put it differently: if you require types to be declared explicitly, there's no reason to not check them statically. Dynamic checking of static types really only makes sense for gradual typing systems, where code with static type annotations might be called from some non-annotated code, and you want it to be possible without forcing static typing on the caller. At that point, yes, you can have a dynamic type check in the callee, which ensures that if code without type annotations doesn't actually get the types right, things fail fast at the static/dynamic typing boundary, instead of allowing it to propagate into the statically typed code (as is the case in e.g. TS today).
I don't remember "untrusted JS" being any sort of problem in the last, say, 10 years?

Now I'm sure you can dig up some vulnerabilities, and a select few of them may even had (remote) exploits. But I've never run into any problems, and I'm not especially careful, have been around the seedy underbelly of the web, and don't run any anti-virus. Just not clicking on any .exe that suddenly downloads seems to be enough. Being on MacOS rather than Windows may also help, although as far as I can tell, security on Windows today is also far far better than it was a decade or so ago.

Considering all that, I can't shake the suspicion that people complaining about JS vulnerabilities to defend their use of ad blockers are just searching for justification.
Segmentation was expensive (loading an 80286 segment register was very slow and the segment table was impractically small) but could express "offsets between 0 and 42 are valid". Paging is much coarser and suffers from false negatives, because x[y] might accidentally walk off the end of x, skip a guard page, and land on a mapped page from another object.
Where are you getting "give us power!" from?

Are climate researchers trying to get elected into positions of power? I haven't seen any evidence of that.

As far as I can tell most people just want to stop burning down the house we live in.
Yeah, the article is a bit misleading, looking at the linked study the authors point out those limitations,

> The findings also support the need for further research in this area, particularly longitudinal studies that would allow for stronger assessment of causal relationships.

> the measures for depression and PTSD each included two items related to sleep and the models were run with sleep problems as a predictor, which could lead to potential confounding in the analyses; however, this is consistent with research in this area.

Personally, one of my worst moments deployed was when our Ripit/RedBull/Tobacco supply got blown up (well, technically the DFAC and PX actually collapsed after being blown up due to shoddy construction) and we had to have people fly them in from BAF. I'm sure the lack of energy drinks contributed to PTSD for those who didn't have alternative logistics.

I don't have a specific model in mind, but as somebody else posted the e-Golf has about half the range of the Tesla.

Personally, I don't like the term range anxiety, it sounds like a fighting term from the gas car industry and also doesn't take people's worries seriously. My problem is completely different: If there was no Model S, I would be totally happy with an e-car with 140 miles range. But if I can get another car for a similar price with twice the range, I'm going to buy that instead.

It shows to me that VW (like other established brands) is not doing the technically possible, but half-hartedly quickly making an electric car, just so they also have one. The e-Golf AFAIK uses the same platform as most VW (and Skoda etc.) cars, where they crammed the batteries in there where there was space. Teslas are designed from ground up for electric, and the whole car underbody is basically a battery.

While people may think that this is wasting money, I see that this these teams gain unieque knowledge and experience on how to resolve issues on "machines far far away", and if we are ever to explore/move humans to a new planet, you want THOSE exact teams as 'helpdesk' that use anything and everything to bring things back to life and operation.
I don’t know, but I do know caffeine can be a trigger for many people with PTSD. The military is probably not a great place to encourage use of substances that can trigger PTSD episodes, but they do a lot worse to soldiers, so...
Show HN: Navigable and zoomable grid built with React
Yeah it's not used in school, so no hygiene problems there.

It's a project-based class and while their goal is to build a rocket, it's not a rocket simulator game like KSP.

It's a project-based physics class. We didn't post the full syllabus yet, but the students will need to do research and collaborate to learn about the different parts of rockets, the science behind it, and build up intuition and reasoning for rockets. All while learning and repeating concepts in physics, chemistry and material science.

Doing this in VR is great because it feels like you're really meeting with your team and working on stuff together. Plus in VR you can demonstrate scientific (and other) concepts that are usually very theoretical much better than on a 2D screen. The immersiveness leads to better learning outcomes.

How old is your kid? Would you be interested in trying it out?
Gab denies responsibility in shooting incident
Not really. They gave NASA two "telescopes" that have mirrors and a chassis and basically not much else. It will still require billions of dollars and years of work to turn them into space based observatories. One of them is actually being built (WFIRST) but isn't expected to be launched until the 2020s.

Also, overall there isn't a huge advantage to this hardware. It doesn't save much money as most of the cost of the telescopes is in the other components: the spacecraft parts (including the attitude control system which as we've seen with Hubble is quite important) and the instruments. The biggest advantage to the NRO gifts (the NSA doesn't have telescopes, that we know of) is not that they make building space telescopes cheaper but that they mainly just make those missions more likely to be funded.
Sometimes the local postal service tracking will give additional information that the source tracking doesn’t give.

In the case above I would expect they they just didn’t scan it when delivering. We get cases with USPS, usually with appartment buildings that they will leave packages in common spaces and they will be stolen. Although that would usually have a delivery scan.
It does come with Internet Explorer too, but I'm sure that also defaults to Bing.

Yes, I stopped reading it regularly about 20 years ago. They got a new editorial board and went for a broader audience by diluting the content drastically in both quality and quantity. The final straw for me was when they adjusted the font size and spacing to reduce the amount of text by about 10% while maintaining page count.
This is ridiculous. I left school with $30k in debt and paid it down with my $35k job. What we don’t hear enough about are the people who foolishly go to a bank for their loans, and then take out massive amounts, avoiding all work and scholarships, then get some degree that has little to know market value. Student debt is not the problem. Banks, universities and the students are the problem.

Bing and Google have always paid a lot of attention to the "landing page" for search ads, and they have a lot of technology to make sure that the landing page for an ad doesn't change after they've reviewed it.

Still, fraudsters have ways of changing the landing page to something different. In this case someone seems to have successfully convinced bing that the landing page domain is google.com -- it's unlikely that it's "easily solved". Or that the next one will be easily solved.
The Mac experience is almost identical, except that the App Store has a GUI (although Linux distributions also have those these days, I hear). Apple regularly gets lots of grief here because people have been suspicious they want to shut down distribution outside of the store.

I have my doubts that any Linux distribution is capable of auditing every line of every package they distribute, so I think the relative lack of malware on Linux (and possibly MacOS as well) may not actually be caused the specific method of distribution.
Isn't in all red bulls quite a bit of sugar/aspartam? Not a healthy stuff, although it shouldn't cause any PTSD. And what about taurine? Not really very explored substance.

Personally I drink similar stuff maybe 2x per year, when I have a long (>1000km) drive ahead. Otherwise wouldn't touch that chemical junk with a 10 foot pole.

Depends on what you mean by bad (how bad it is). It is definitely good to know basic algorithms and it is useful to learn to think that way. Ability to write code quickly is good too.

However, note that people who are good at competition literally trained writing common algorithms fast - there is zero value in that. I knew people who could write graph search with closed eyes in various vatiations and that made them save time in competition. That is irrelevant anywhere else. They also learn and train a lot more and harder algorithms - there is some but still little value in that unless you like it.

Tldr; if you struggle with algorithms 101 (binary tree, graph search, minimal path, etc), then it is good to learn them. If you are very slow, it is good to practice to become faster. Anything else is hobby/interest - do it if you like it, do it if you want to do it in the future.

Ability to write readable code actually valuable.
The connection limit in NTW was probably added to stop people going around even the very low $500 cost of NTAS

It was added to stop people using NTW as an intranet server with IIS, since there was no way to count CALs that way.
It took a minute to compile plan9 kernel from scratch on the original raspberry pi (running plan9). You can even cross compile a x86 kernel in similar time. 10 seconds in 9vx emulator running on FreeBSD/amd64. I don’t recall the details now but a from-scratch Linux kernel compile was 10 or 11 hours (under Linux on the same raspberry pi). Thank goodness it wasn’t written in C++; the compile time would’ve been so much worse!

C compiler optimizations seems like micro-optimizations when people should be looking at the bloat elsewhere. Missing the forest for the trees.

C is basically a low level language. A portable assembly language. A predictable compiler shouldn’t second guess the programmer’s intent. To put things in perspective, if all the man-years spent on gcc were spent on GNU Hurd... :-)

Tone of OP's post doesn't suggesting he is dismissing it. He just isn't that good at it and doesn't have a natural interest. Of course he'd be well served trying to get better at it anyway for career reasons, but it's quite clear that there isn't a 1-1 mapping between Leetcode skills and actual software engineering as done by most organizations / companies out there.
The problem for Unix is that C dependencies don't work that way, and it would take a huge amount of effort and culture change in the C ecosystem to make something like that happen. It would probably involve more effort than just statically linking the binaries.

If this worked, developers would have no incentive to upgrade library versions that are working properly. The number of programs on your system that share the same library version would decrease over time until most of them use different versions, so you will miss out on the advantage of dynamic linking anyway -- updating a library would only fix security holes in a subset of your programs. You might as well just statically link everything and call it a day.
