While this isn't a car to me(no airbags/freeway capability), this topic has shown how saturated Tesla's market has become.

I've counted 3 competitors with electric vehicles that can be bought around this 10k price point(used).

Makes me wonder how long Tesla can get away selling vehicles that are anti-consumer(no buttons/switches).
The problem with that kind of evolutionary argument is that it requires the product of that creativity to impart a reproductive advantage to the creator and their close relatives. However, creations are often easily copied, producing a broader benefit that negates the evolutionary advantage. It's not impossible, but it's a tricky thing to argue.
I'm of the mind that the usefulness of event sourcing as an architecture is directly correlated with how easy it is to determine what an event is.

I'm also of the mind that most challenges with event sourcing are ultimately tooling problems, and that we will "get there" eventually, for some fairly pleasurable definition of "there."
Mentour Pilot did a youtube podcast about this air crash back in November.

I wondered why too, so I reverted the commit that added the add, pulled in some PRs, and pushed it here. I plan to keep it up to date if there's any interest.

It is a nifty feature. However a lot of us wanted it to use the "as" keyword (like in SQL and Python) instead of more colons, which are multiplying.

Unfortunately "as …" had a few drawbacks in rare use cases (:= has only aesthetic drawbacks), but I think as was by far the most consistent, readable choice and supported ~90% of use cases.

As for the controversy, that's what happens when you reverse 25 year-old design decisions. Shouldn't be too surprising.
Which dating app is better: tinder, badoo or date.dating?

Here is a benchmark comparison.

https://www.ubergizmo.com/products/lang/en_us/devices/iphone...

Both phones were around the same price at launch.

The iPhone 6s is still supported and still getting os upgrades and security patches - the Galaxy S6 isn’t.

The iPhone 6s should get at least one more year of upgrades but considering the iPhone 5s is two years older and still getting updates I would bet on at least two more years.

Long term, which is the better but?

Btw,

Here is a comparison between the flagship Galaxy S9 to a two year iPhone 7.

In what ways do they look similar?
The best badges i've had are at various low-rent unconferences, where you get a sticky label and a sharpie on arrival, and you can write your own.

Want to chat but be a bit anonymous? Just write your first name but big! Want people to be able to find you after? Full name and twitter handle! Primarily known by a pseudonym online? Write that! Proud of where you work? Add your company name! Tired of being mistaken for a designer? Use your job title! Prefer certain pronouns? State xem! Impressive title? Prefix in your neatest calligraphy! Burning passion for a particular subject? Jot it underneath your name! Hiring, raising, jobhunting, looking for someone to play baduk with? Put pen to label! Mad art skills? Throw down!

No lanyard length quandaries, cheap and easy to supply, usually end up around eye level, don't poke awkwardly when sitting, and they don't flip round!
I don't know if it's centrism that enabled infrastructure, so much as the two major parties seeing each other as legitimate rivals that could be negotiated with. Without a common enemy since the Soviet Union disintegrated, the parties have lost their sense of mutual legitimacy. There's nothing visibly* urgent enough to push us into e.g. building a continent-spanning system of highways.

*Climate change doesn't count because one side doesn't see it as a threat.
> France needs reforms and has been postponing them for decades.

France needs stability a lot more than reforms. As a country, France still has a highly educated population, great infrastructure, a rich internal market and a solid canvas of small, medium and large business. France should be seeking growth through innovation and investment rather than constantly tweaking its tax code. France is however deeply handicaped by the euro. It is in my opinion the first victim of German dumping (the Hartz reform).

The whole France needs reform mantra is more rooted in ideology than facts. Macron is a Blairite who would rather fight the German by similarly depressing wages rather than confront them directly. It is a losing situation for everyone except the employers and will only lead to more inequality and more poverty in Europe. But well, guess who financed Macron presidential campain...
On a side note, I set image.animation_mode to "once" which keeps Slack memory and CPU usage down, as the animated emojis only get one pass at my CPU.

I definitely strongly prefer locally-stored data for a bunch of reasons, like the fact that nobody can analyze what queries you made on that data. But there is a lot of data that is regularly new and obviously has to be pulled from the internet regularly, such as news or weather data.
The paranoia being about being tracked, and then not want to give your information to a tech company who's devoted to tracking you doesn't seem totally unwarranted.
I beat it fine; both 6's are horizontal.
Agreed. The average human is illogical. It's not easy for Vulcans to live among Ferengies. I don't claim to be "mostly right", but I do claim to use and be able to produce a logical train of thought for recommending courses of actions. I can write it out in detail if and when requested.

However, few are really interested in a logical justification: they usually use office politics and their "gut" to decide. Sorry, but most guts are not very bright nor accurate in my experience.

I've decided it's best to join them instead of fight them because humans are social animals above all else. But, it's not easy to transition at all. I think I was born on the wrong planet.
If their mood is fragile enough to be set off by sub-perfect product design, either they’re depressed, or they’re realizing they’ve mistakenly invested the best years of their life and their life savings into the wrong product, IMO.

Applying ML is one's FREEDOM.
It depends on the things that you want to learn and amount of extra work you want to put into it. For instance, I used Go for the most of AoC 2018 problems and I had always been using C/C++ in algorithmic contests when execution time mattered. And yet, I wouldn't say I know any of these languages good enough to write a production-grade system because I only learned usage patterns common for small, write - run once - throw away applications.

On the other hand, the author of that post seems to have used a lot of more complex language features, did profiling, debugging, made use of many libraries etc - a lot of extra stuff that wasn't necessary to give correct answers but is crucial in 'real world' programming.
For me, it seems to be largely true. One distinction, though, is that "outrage" news seems to have a far more negative effect on my life than things like reddit or netflix.

I try to stick to "news" that's at least several months old. The really valuable stuff is at least a hundred years old--so not news at all anymore.
I keep forgetting that some people actually like the reducible control flow constraint. To me, if you have that constraint then it’s not really ssa. You literally can’t represent everything that llvm IR or B3 IR could. I think you should make sure you add that caveat when making equivalence claims.

That said, the key reason for my push back is the suitability of SSA for fast backends. If you can afford to run some coalescing then SSA is at least perf-neutral. If you can’t then compiling from SSA will result in crappy code. As in, probably worse than block local RA.

So your best bet is to somehow avoid having to coalesce. But that probably means using SSA only for extracting liveness and then running the world’s dumbest linear scan. Even that may not be as good as block local RA.
There are usecases for autoplaying muted video. For example, my SaaS-in-progress (LyricSlides.com) UX is better if users don't have to click on stuff to make background video loops play.
I used to think like this. Then I read "12 Rules for Life" by Jordan Peterson and "Daring Greatly" by Brene Brown a few times, and I realized I was making an implicit choice to see the world that way, and that it is a completely counter productive viewpoint. A shift in perspective can change everything.
My own anecdotal experience echos a similar result to the findings. Though I didn't remove Facebook altogether, I did unfollow and clear my timeline permanently, removed all media, and use it exclusively for receiving Event invitations and notifications. Still, I do not miss a single thing about the rest of that network.

Sadly I admit that my Twitter use has gone up as a result. It seems I've got some more work to do to kick the social media habit.
> Oh wow, providing a tracking number, huge OPSEC mistake

Double mistake: he habitually used the same postbox to mail his packages. He might have had better luck if he drove well out of his way to mail them.

Though I'm kinda surprised the police weren't able to get a firmer lead on him from the tracking numbers. Is it really possible to get those anonymously issued? I'd assumed they'd at least be able to track him back to a store with security camera footage.
I solved easy 4, but easy 7 looks impossible. Very addictive puzzle game, BTW.

Edit: easy 7 solvable and now my wife is addicted too.
There's something funky going on with that chart. Military spending is about 20% of the budget when you include Veterans benefits. You're right that it's smaller than the ~50% spent on SS and Meciare/Medicaid, but after those it's by far the biggest budget item.

Because it's a pointless comment. Fox "News" is the leading provider of television news in the United States by a wide margin. They have a widely conservative bent and one of their anchors has nightly talks with the President.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/373814/cable-news-networ...

The claim that news can be unbiased is silly as all news has to be reported through a lens. The claim that news media has a "liberal bias" is a long standing conservative talking point going back to the 1970s where news media was listed as slightly liberal and then everyone ignored the follow that showed that media had self corrected based on the report.

Claiming that there's a "liberal news problem" just points out that conservatives don't like that "their President" is getting "unfairly attacked" by the media. This completely ignores that conservative media frequently runs literal conspiracy theories that have led to real life shootings with little regard to the outcome.

The point being that claiming that there's some grand liberal conspiracy ignores the fact that most of the news organizations OP cited will actually issue corrections. Fox news rarely issues them and most other mainstream conservative commentators never do because they claim they are "infotainment".
I don't think Chrome is a spyware for me, but I am still trying to get to Firefox, if only because I don't want chrome to be the only browser remaining in next 10 year and then turn to spyware. Firefox is much more open on the moral issues and on most instance has better track record than Google.
Thanks for the report, to you and everyone else who had that problem. Just for testing purposes, what kind of a device was this on?

Unfortunately the overflow: hidden is needed for the touch event handling to work properly. But there's probably some reasonable solution based on resizing / scaling instead.
In a relative sense, for me, yes. Small value for more than the price of a beaten-up Fiat 500.
So why shouldn't you borrow the money or sell the property to someone who can properly take care of it?
It is the dose, not the substance, that makes the poison.
The appification of the Internet qualifies here, with Google Fuchsia running on Chromebooks and ARM-based desktops being a good opportunity for them to move most Internet based activities in apps on a platform they control.
Pretty appalling.
It's a combination of dumping and also just extremely low-quality materials and products. I would be extremely surprised if any of these vehicles lasted a year.
> (2) the term ‘deep fake’ means an audiovisual record created or altered in a manner that the record would falsely appear to a reasonable observer to be an authentic record of the actual speech or conduct of an individual;

I see nothing of this act that restricts the applicability of so broad a definition of "deep-fake" so as not to cover the activities of Hollywood, specifically the CGI mapping of actors onto body doubles such as that performed in "The Crow" (1994).

Yet another deeply troubling knee-jerk reaction of an act that promises to catch "just the bad".
Yes, we have a big lead weight in the keel. The southern ocean can occasionally have breaking waves over 50 feet tall!
I hadn't considered that, and looking at the prices I think that might be my next car!

No nontrivial Chromium forks exist, to my knowledge. Do you know of any?
Hi all! We (@anishathalye, @jjgo, and @jonhoo) have long felt that while university CS classes are great at teaching specific topics, they often leave it to students to figure out a lot of the common knowledge about how to actually use your computer. And in particular, how to use it efficiently.

There’s just no class in the undergrad curriculum that teaches you how to become familiar with the system you’re working with! Students are expected to know about, or figure out, the shell, editors, remote access and file management, version control, debugging and profiling utilities, and all sorts of other useful tools on their own. Often times, they won’t even know that many of these tools exist, and instead do things in roundabout ways or simply be left frustrated about their development environment.

To help mitigate this, we decided to run this short lecture series at MIT during the January Independent Activities Period that we called “Hacker Tools” (in reference to “hacker culture”, not hacking computers). Our hope was that through this class, and the resulting lecture materials and videos, we might be able to bootstrap students’ knowledge about the tools that are available to them, which they can then put to use throughout their time at university, and beyond.

We’ve shared both the lecture notes and the recordings of the lectures in the hopes that people outside of MIT may also find these resources useful in making better use of their tools. If that turns out to be true, we’re also thinking of re-doing the videos in screen-cast style with live chat and a proper microphone when we get the time. If that sounds interesting to you, and if you have ideas about other things you’d like to see us cover, please leave a comment below; we’d love to hear from you!

We’re sure there are also plenty of cool tools that we didn’t get to cover in this series that you all know and love. Please share them below along with a short description so we can all learn something new!

I've always found it curious that this sort of tech is called "blocking", as if the browser has to proactively prevent websites from reaching into your computer and playing a video or displaying an ad or popping up a window.
Comcast isn't a public service, it's a private monopoly.

If it was a privatized public service then the network would be owned by the municipality and maintained by a private company under a contract which is put up for bids every few years, in the same way that the roads are owned by the municipality which puts private contracts up for bid to do road maintenance.

Privatization works when the government retains ownership over the infrastructure and never signs a contract for longer than ten years. Anything else is almost certainly corruption, and nothing in government works when the government is corrupt.
It depends on your style of learning tbh. I enjoy going through a language's basics in docs (Golang playground and Rust's docs are fantastic) and then solving a problem.

My first "app" in Golang was a discord bot. I have to do maintenance on it occasionally and it's been a great learning experience.
TF.js is just a wrapper. It develops independently with TF's core.
I used this years AoC to learn rust and had similar issues with input parsing. I found a fairly simple parsing crate (https://docs.rs/scan-rules/0.2.0/scan_rules/) which helped a lot with the simpler inputs (day 24 was still a pain). It pretty much exactly matches the format you described.
Of the $160m, $120m was allocated to the state department. Please see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countering_Foreign_Propagand... if you want to educate yourself.

I didn’t “silence” you I responded with facts. It’s fine to share a conspiracy theory for discussion/analysis IMO but it should always at least be accompanied with the facts so that people are not tricked into believing the fake news.

Sharing it without a debunking, despite a disclaimer that you don’t believe it, makes your disclaimer less than credible in many cases.
I did a book report in middle school on a book called bankruptcy 1995. The author made a pretty convincing case that the USA was headed for debt disaster. Yet here we are. So will there be articles like this in 20 years?
That list comprehension is the most compelling case I've seen for this functionality; far more so than the basic assignment + if.

Ask HN: Optimal way to learn about the Linux kernel
I'm a associate embedded software engineer with a background in electrical engineering. I know that seems strange but I would like to come up to speed on the Linux kernel more so I can be more knowledgeable about embedded Linux.

The problem is that I not taken a "Introduction to Operating Systems" course before like most CS folks have. I believe I need to approach this first before diving into learning the Kernel.

What is the most optimal learning solution here for this. Reading a book gets a person so far so I was hoping for a more course like experience with some user interaction (labs/assignments, aka "hands on")? Has anyone else been in my shoes and if so what online courses or books did you find the most effective? I want to make sure that whatever material or resource I use is Linux driven.
Your comment aligns with an old HN comment that I have saved that resonated with me:

I'd also recommend people feeling this way to read The Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathan Haidt. It helped me.
Law enforcement is like the military in that they are organizations in charge of legitimate use of force. At the same time, they are bureaucracies and bureaucracies are hierarchical organizations in charge of translating public will and resources into quantifiable results.

The hierarchical element means that the people at the top in charge of making overarching decisions that the entire bureaucracy then has to follow has very little visibility into the "facts on the ground". Even worse, they can have zero insight into how said problem space actually works because they're often political appointees and not people that rose from the ranks.

This normally isn't that much of a problem in other types of endeavors. But when the use of legitimate force comes into play, decisions from 'on high' can be amazingly arbitrary from a public interest standpoint. The military generally solves this by making it so there aren't any purely political appointees in the chain of command. That, plus the fact that the military generally doesn't exercise force within the borders means that any problems can be hidden from public scrutiny.

But law enforcement does not have this luxury.
Here's my first thought: Put both supercapacitors and batteries in an electric car. The supercapacitors can help greatly in a couple of ways. When doing a fast charge, the supercapacitor bank can absorb the energy super fast, much faster than a bank of batteries could. Then a microcontroller could control the transfer of that power more gradually over to the battery. (Unfortunately, super capacitors, when I last read something about it, could only hold their charge for 4 days or so, so they couldn't replace batteries themselves.) Perhaps this could be the key to the 5 minute recharge for cars?

Second, supercapacitors could also save some wear and tear on the batteries during rapid acceleration and regenerative charging.
17% of the US population self-reported taking some form of psychiatric drug [1].

We're way past the point of truly disturbed people not seeking help due to the stigma of mental illness. Instead, it's cheerfully celebrated and encouraged in a way that I imagine will only stop once 100% of the country is zombified by mind-altering drugs.

The pendulum needs to swing back towards self-help and the idea that some discomfort is a part of normal life.

I am working on a platform that's a mix of Twitch and Netflix. Entering a "show" starts muted autoplay until the audience member explicitly turns on audio. If they're coming to the show URL I give them, presumably they're there for the show.
All of the things you liked were private infrastructure.

But you bashed private infrastructure a line earlier.

Not sure what you're going for.

And no, the military budget can't go down, look at how much German is complaining about just being asked to pay it's NATO dues.
Who knows. When I eat too much wheat I feel like I have a hangover for two days. Over here they started adding selenium to the soil in 60s, and my grandmother tells me no one complained about bread making them sick before that.

Perhaps it's that additive that makes tractor fuel oil exhaust blue, or too much selective breeding without thought to nutrition, or some kind of preservation practice which 99% of people don't have a problem with while the remaining 1% didn't seem important to someone with a rubber stamp.
