Although the paper proposes to merge all kinds of EU-based EV and battery companies together, the issue is still that the European market is 1% of the global market. EU companies will be likely selling to Asian EV markets for a long time.

Let me be frank here: The app is too simple, unpolished and I don't think you've used it for yourself long enough. Here's my list of complaints, please know that I'm working on a similar app with a lot more features:

* no way to copy a budget (it's the same categories every month!)
* colour scheme isn't that great (lack of contrast, but that might be me)
* only $, no € or ¥. currency is a text-field!
* no date on the stuff I spent, sure I could use the Note field but it's cool enough
* can't "end" a budget prematurely. sure, there's "custom" but no big phat arrow pointing me at the same default which is "1st of this month to the end of this month".
* can't do negative amounts. yes, I'd like to do that
* having upcoming or past budgets feels weird, the blue (why blue?) "Track spending" button only shows for the oldest one.
* no reports at all
> I'd rather have to type 20% more than spend 20% more time figuring out other people's code.

If that were the trade off, it would be a no brainer. But instead it feels like double the code, for no clarity (or negative clarity because the noise becomes obfuscation).
By this definition of terms, every Lisp dialect that ever existed had reader macros because it accumulated characters into tokens, and dispatched a recursive scan upon encountering (.
DST in Europe makes no sense anyway, because of political reason countries as far away as Spain and Poland use the same time zone (CEST).

So today daylight in Warsaw was 6:36-16:01, and in Madrid it's 7:47-18:08.

If people really cared about daylight saving - they should use the correct timezone in the first place and then worry about changing time.

My experience is that "you either have it or you don't" is more accurate than not.

> I'm pretty good at what I do, and when people tell me they're jealous of my talent, and kind of hint that it's innate, I get a bit insulted. I had to work a shitton to get where I am, and comments like that makes it sound like I had it easy.

This is a common sentiment, but I don't find it convincing. The discussion here is about nature vs. nurture. There's a lot of data points on that subject, and, from what I've seen, they mostly support nature (twin studies, intelligence being 60-80% heritable, etc).

The fact that you like to think it's mostly nurture isn't really relevant. I'd like to live in a world where ability and virtue were absolutely correlated and everyone got what he or she deserves based on how much good that person does in the world. But I don't think we live in that world.
That was almost-standard in 1920s-1930s.

Main problem was to warm up the engine in winter. For liquid-cooled ones that was done by repeatedly draining the system and refilling with hot water. I don't remember what they did with air cooled ones, maybe a blower of some kind, or just a blowtorch to the cylinders. There aren't many options on a snow field out somewhere in nowhere.
Ask HN: Anyone else feel people here are a bit too harsh on advertising?
Or marketing in general?

Because from what I've seen it, it seems like a decent chunk of Hacker News users think marketing is evil incarnate, some unethical manipulation tactic that's outright damaging to society. For example, in the comments here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18377296

Or here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18334263

But I'm not sure I agree with this. For one thing, not all (or to be honest, even most) marketing or advertising is necessarily dishonest, sometimes it's just mentioning what exists and showing how it works.

Quite a lot of media trailers are that way really. Virtually every major Nintendo Switch game trailer is about as straight forward as you can get.

I also think people forget exactly how much comes under advertising in general. A company's website is a marketing arm for them. The packaging of the product is. Obviously any trailers or presentations they hold (looks at Apple) are. Is that a bad thing? Not sure I'd say Apple having a flashier website is a negative for society.

I also feel a lot of people put too much stock in people magically choosing some materially 'best' option. Like if ads were gone, word of mouth would somehow mean only the best products and services won.

I'm not sure that'd be the case to be honest. People are creatures of habit, and a lot of the time, they'll stick to a product or brand simply for familiarity rather than because it's the best option at that time. It's why quite a few big chains have an audience at all.

Without advertising or marketing, I suspect the situation wouldn't change much from how it is now. Those with more name recognition get the lion's share of the market, and the rest fight for scraps.

But what do you think?

Because that's the easier method for society en masse to change 2 times per year. E.g. Some businesses have their opening hours painted on glass windows[1] so repainting them to say 8am-4pm instead of 9am-5pm is more complicated.

For me the asymmetry of case-insensitivity bugs me. Even if the filesystem is case insensitive, "touch file.txt" is different from "touch FILE.TXT". In the same vein, what should the case of the file be after "echo lowercase file > file.txt; echo uppercase file > FILE.TXT"?

Case insensitivity would make sense to me if all files were stored and displayed as completely lowercase (although I'm not sure how this generalizes to other character sets).
I'm not sure if Omni builds on Lineage, but they don't use any closed source Sony stuff, I think.

The open camera drivers bring a great performance increase in shutter response, but a pretty bad decrease in low-light performance.

The build I'm using has some annoying issues like a barely working fingerprint scanner and Bluetooth audio, but even with that it is less irritating than Sony's to me. I assume both are fixable fairly easy (I'm waiting for Pie builds).

The official Sailfish OS builds come with an Android app runtime (Alien Dalvik), I think, but it may be missing some security features.

I'm not sure if it uses the official Sony camera drivers, information about this seems to be conflicting. Maybe both are available, if Sailfish utilizes Android drivers.
If it'll retroactively apply criminal penalties you're going to need a companion amendment to the Constitution.
I get what you are trying say. It is just that most of society doesn't care if you are smart, creative or trying to do anything special when you are trying to get an education, apartment or anything else on your own terms. It is only once you succeed that people are quick to call you all those things before going back to enforcing the same rules you barely survived. It is sort of like an honorary degree.
I mean generally there is freedom of speech in the US, so if allowing a march is your definition of "openly embrace", then sure. But then you'd have to say society openly embraces every other March as well, including ones that are completely counterpurpose to antifa.
Plenty of smaller companies cargo-cult those kinds of practices, and the matter wasn't helped by hyperbole from the likes of Spolskey saying one bad hire can destroy your company (while noone wondered why the top developers in the world would be flocking to work on his dumb project management tool). No other industry makes such a song-and-dance of hiring as tech, insists that people do the job as a hobby in their spare time too, etc etc
Is this bad? Surprising? Ethereum has only been around for a few years. There are only so many tutorial contracts to test out and so many people actually making new contracts that it isn't surprising the initial cut is so limited.

What different would it say, for example, if this were true 25 years after Ethereum got started?
That sounds kinda strange, given the in the last 15 years there was plenty of reform going on, like the whole Perestroika thing.
Nice! We also have an internal tool for this that was somewhat recently open-sourced: https://github.com/MaibornWolff/codecharta. It's been quite useful in several projects I've been on, especially when used on legacy codebases to visualize improvement as a refactoring/rebuild project progresses.

Shifting the clocks is an idea that adds a lot of cost and questionable benefits. We have the daylight hours that our location's geography provides. Why not simply set the time zone boundaries such that the location is closest to having the daylight centered around noon and leave the clocks alone. Having changing time zones causes costs in updating all the software.
I used to strongly agree to this until someone pointed out that you don't have that option if you have children that are tied to the schedule decided on by their school or kindergarten.
Managers shouldn't be writing code or architecting at all. A manager's job is to manage people or a product. If it's people, she should be completely focused on unblocking the engineers and keeping them out of meetings. If it's the product, she should be completely focused on gathering the requirements and constraints and communicating with the customer and getting estimates from the engineers.

The architecture and implementation is a hidden detail for a manager. Either the team lead, architect, or team as a whole should design and move on the code.

> The opposite of scholasticism is just-in-time knowledge. Whatever I need I can look it up.

I understand the temptation to think this way but I really disagree. Scholasticism has serious problems but the solution is not 'just-in-time knowledge'.

Scholastacism has been such a successfull approach for physicists exactly because the human mind is simply not equipped to approach much of modern physics. The scholastic traditions are in place to augment and fix our inherent mental deficiencies and prepare us to be able to understand physics.

Approaching physics is not a knowledge problem. Its an understanding problem and true understanding takes work, not informaation delivery.

We actually use our similar tool (see my reply to parent comment) in a typical CI/CD pipeline. The generated output can be visualized and browsed anytime. The tool can visualize differences between different analysis states, which makes it very useful to demonstrate progress as a project grows, especially on pre-existing codebases that are refactored/rebuilt.
A coworker got forcibly introduced to this when he was writing a script that generated several thousand files that he'd decided to name alphabetically. Eventually AAA turned into CAA turned to COM and accessing the resulting file failed, and I got the immense pleasure of being able to explain this.
Wait, what? You don't gain extra natural light in summer due to DST. The days become longer naturally due to the angle of the earth wrt the sun. DST makes you get up earlier to "enjoy" that longer, sunnier day, but that one hour is probably pointless in terms of mental health improvement.

Besides, summer isn't the time when sunlight is lacking. Winter is when people get vitamin D depressed, and no time change is going to fix that for northern countries.
This is a cliche designed to close the outrage loop in a quick and satisfying way.

These are the same people extracting money from people to "cheer" for their e-sports by selling them fake fireworks so they can show they are a "real fan" while watching on twitch or wherever.

TDD is really one of those things you either like or don't. I for one hate working that way and would be happy to know about it as early as possible. No amount of training will change that.

Yep, more like it.

I think DST today is less relevant. Light is cheap. I dont actually need candles. Cities and towns also have lights. Today most power is being used by manufacuring, be it at day or at night. I dont think savings is relevant here.

Dont get me wrong - I love daylight. But I enjoy that we @ europe will get rid of DST. I just hope we get to stay in summer time :)

None, probably. The effort here seems to involve mostly documents previously only available on paper.
The comment I was responding to here says "perfume", so i was responding to the inquiry as to how one could advertise perfumes.

FWIW, a lot of things are fashion magazines, including GQ, which is mostly read by Gentlemen, as the title implies. There is plenty of space to advertise to Manly Men in magazines, both fashion oriented and not.

Separately, I've yet to see an ad for men's deodorant made in the last, say, 30 years, that emphasized as its primary selling point how it makes you not smell. I'm open to counterexamples, I just can't think of any.
So the authors observed increased markers of damage after exposing DNA to a range of non ionizing EM frequencies.

It depends how you define privacy.
The uncomfortable fact is other professions treat their employees like cogs (hiring booms then mass layoffs), or their customers like crap (ever wait an hour for your set time appointment at the doctor?). The determining factor is really the price of the professional.

Software development is in a real interesting situation as its transitioning from a low status job to a high status one. As this progresses you'll see more and more "the customer is always wrong" style blog posts. They are already pretty common already.

Ortiz and Heymann are definitely horrible people in my eyes but we have to think of them as responding to incentives. They saw they had an opportunity to pad their numbers and went for it. I don't think we have done anything to fix the core issue, which I think is how do we judge the performance of a prosecutor?
Not my field, but based on what I know of the quality of research in this lab and the fact that it was published in Science, I would be very surprised if the results aren't very solid and reproducible.
Yep, it makes no difference. I get up at 5:30 to go to work. Even during DST it's still dark in the morning, and it's not like I'm really getting any exposure to the light on the bus to work. But the consequence is that when I leave work at 4, it's pitch black outside where the sun would have been setting before.

DST is pointless and antiquated.
> I think computing science (not just software engineering) is slowly but surely becoming an essential part of many areas of modern physics research.

I like to say that physics, mathematics, and computer science are the three pillars of human knowledge. There's some overlap between each pillar, and we don't yet fully understand how each of them fully relate to the others, but each is essential to gathering a full picture of any phenomenon.
