I live in Seattle now, and I remember talking to a petition signature gatherer for the recently passed gun control measure (petitions get them on the ballot).

I have found Rust's C++ story better than most. C++ is unfortunately a hard language to interoperate with. Rust's C story is absolutely unparalleled, and an easy to way to share code between the two languages.

This is very nicely done.

Personally I prefer my data entry to be a simple text field so that I can use backspace, or clipboard paste, or insert/delete from the middle normally.

Meanwhile, the UI can show its interpretation of what I entered just above the field. For example, if
I enter a date field 2/25, the software could show its interpretation (02/25/2019) as I type, allowing me to quit typing as soon as the interpretation is correct. Likewise with credit cards: it isn't a big problem hitting a space bar to separate, but that's my choice.

In other words, the beautiful formatting is good, but keep the input field and the eventual rendering of the field separate.
Wow, this overlaps my imaginary idea of simple notes for trip that replaces spreadsheet but not getting into those bloat, bad idea of travel planning startups that rely on commissions.

Keeping data meta, I think, is a good way to go. No identity attached, no personal photos. Just all info going from A to B. So it's folk-able. I really like the toggle(switch) buttons, I hope it's not linking to external service (oh it is).

I had put thoughts so much on this kind of apps and it's abandon because I wasn't able to think of how it's monetized.

I think it comes down to the fact that batteries are big and heavy, so they end up being pretty integral to the structure of the car. A strong quick release /engage mechanism for that sounds rather difficult to do. Especially where the car can't flex when full of people/stuff during the swap.

Not so simple in such a highly price-sensitive marketplace as the consumer auto industry.
"With careful construction, an attacker can make the processor speculate based on some value of interest and use the cache changes to disclose what that speculated value actually was. This becomes particularly threatening in applications such as Web browsers: a malicious JavaScript can use data revealed in this way to learn about the memory layout of the process it's running in, then use this information to leverage other security flaws to execute arbitrary code. Browser developers have assumed that they can construct safe sandboxes within the browser process, such that scripts can't learn about the memory layout of their containing process. Architecturally, those assumptions are sound. But reality has Spectre, and it blows those assumptions out of the water."

So this is yet another reason to avoid Javascript.

Well, you could make the coil out of this room-temperature superconductor that the Navy just developed; then it wouldn't have any heat loss...

Oops.

You could think about taking two of these and weaving them in a helix around each other so that they each are creating the magnetic field for the other, except that:

1. The coil needs a pulsed current. It's not just a simple current-carrier. Trying to use it to also carry current is... probably going to be problematic.

2. If "non-linear vibration" means a mechanical vibration, that's probably going to be lossy. Worse, the loss is going to appear as heating of the superconducting wire, which could also cause problems.

Still, even with such a Rube Goldberg approach, getting superconductivity up to room temperature is a really big deal... if it truly works. If nothing else, it's going to show the way for a bunch of future work, some of which will (hopefully) improve on this.
Or the biggest and much more predictable thing in our era: anti-climate change liberal government policy intervention in the marketplace shifting demand regardless of the technological and mass-production economics.
It seems naive to think the exponential technology revolution will be a replication of what you experienced growing up.

The fact is, what you experienced growing up was an exponential technology curve compared to the generation that came before you. As time goes on, this will be more evident.

That’s too bad, the Volt’s powertrain made a lot of sense for those aren’t able to get an EV due to it being impractical (Many apartments).

What’s interesting is that Honda’s hybrids have basically the same drivetrain as the now discontinued Volt. They too discontinued (edit: some) of their plugin hybrids, which is also too bad.

Looks like the Prius plugin is gonna be the car to pick for a plug-in hybrid. I wish it looked much better, but judging by their success, Toyota seems to know what it’s doing with the Prius’ styling.
Man it's so depressing looking at what a giant Japan could be in the tech industry if they got their shit together politically, economically, and culturally to bring entrepreneurship and creative risk-taking back.

> - You can't use a function before it's defined.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. You obviously can't call a function before it is defined, but you can use a function in another function without any problems:

julia> foo(x) = bar(x)
foo (generic function with 1 method)

julia> bar(x) = x+2
bar (generic function with 1 method)

julia> foo(3)

The lost route IMO was modular batteries. Say your Model S has a bank replacable modules instead of a single monolith. These can be pulled and swapped with pre-charged cells in minutes. This also allows older packs to be pulled from circulation, removing the fear of aging batteries causing depreciation on the vehicle.
Query: Would the compiler writers have to write compilers from scratch for C++20 or the features can be added without overwriting the entire system?

I am aware that new features means a few parts needs be rectified. But does the whole need to change?

And I agree for C++ compiler writers to be gods. Looking at the source code for GCC/clang makes me doubt my programming skills. Same goes for the linux kernel source code.

>With current battery tech and infrastructure, EV is a 50 mile technology. It has nothing to do with battery tech itself, doesn't matter how light or dense the battery is. The limit is infrastructure. 50 miles is about what you can charge with a level 1 charger overnight.

The vast majority of first-time EV buyers also install a 240v charging station, which typically costs about $1200 including labour and will fully charge most cars overnight. Frankly, you'd be mad to spend $40,000 on a new EV but hamstring it by cheaping out on charging.

> The problem with more batteries is charge time. It's not good enough right now.

It's already good enough for most users, assuming you have reasonable access to suitable rapid chargers on your route. Very few people drive continuously for three or four hours, stop to refuel and immediately return to their car - human biological functions are a meaningful factor. You might be surprised at how long it actually takes you to refuel, pay for your fuel, visit the restroom, buy a coffee and stretch your legs, especially if you've got kids in tow. Rapid-charging an EV does take longer than refuelling a car, but you can do other stuff while it's charging.

Most ICE car owners only infrequently take long journeys. Most EV owners who do take longer journeys find that charging times only add a few minutes to the duration of their journey and are not a significant inconvenience. Charge times do remain a major obstacle for people who drive substantial distances for professional reasons, but they represent a small minority of car buyers.
Hey everyone!

I wrote a quick article to give an update on the incredible progress that's been made to the DIY accelerometer project I shared before[1]. Most notably, it's nearly six times faster!

This project is fully open-source[2] and I have no plans to sell it complete or even as a kit. Keeping it open allows contributors from all different backgrounds, which led to the improvements I describe here.

I'd love to hear your feedback and answer any questions!

Biological organisms are machines for turning energy into additional copies of the genes that created the organism. People in the developed world have access to an obscene amount of energy. Yet fertility rates are below replacement level in basically every developed country (if you don't count first generation immigrants). And when you zoom in, you notice that poor people have more children than all but the top several percent of earners (so fertility goes down as access to resources goes up). If you saw something similar in any other species, it would be the biggest unsolved riddle in biology. Something truly strange. And yet here we are basically not paying attention to it at all.

Frankly you make it sound like it's better to not know.

I disagree. Rust has managed to have great interoperability, but hasn't made the sacrifice of backwards compatibility that has plagued C++. C++ is also ever so slightly different, and surprising things can happen trying to compile C using a C++ compiler. Rust makes the interface explicit, which is easier to reason about.

We're talking about twitter posts. This stuff has incredibly low value on its own. Viral content really only exists because it is all free and very easy to consume. Unfortunately, twitter and others(Facebook, instagram etc) do a lot of tricks to fool people into believing the content they post is valuable. So people start to think their post that received X amount of like or views is actually valuable. This is why people get so upset about seeing their content used elsewhere. Because they've been foolded into believing it has significant value. The reality is that it does not.

No, IIUC, my explanation is nothing like what's mentioned in that comment. I'm trying to argue that it behooves us to use indices which conveniently model the problem domain, not some holy system where the head always starts with zero. I gave several examples to the effect, where zero based, one based, or different offset indexing makes sense.

Again sorry for being dense but:

- aren’t access modifiers the way to define scope? That is possible in julia.

- getters and setters, wouldn’t those be defined in a struct in julia?

- inheritance: pretty sure this doesn’t exist in julia.

$27B over 25 years. So the loss of revenue is a little more than one billion a year.

And even that seems high. From the proposal, “Amazon will have an annual payroll of $3.75 billion. …There’s been nothing like it in history,”

Payroll tax for amazon is about ten percent: https://www.payroll-taxes.com/state-tax/new-york

So, wouldn’t that mean the revenue loss is just 300M a year. And given they are forgiving 3B of that, the revenue over 25 years ends up being 4.5B over 25 years, which is even less.

Here are the assumptions built
into that $27B number, which was generated by proponents of the deal:
https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/politics/alb...

Finally, there are 20M people in New York. So 1.2B of amazon revenue per year (high end) equates to $60 a person at the end of the day.

It's probably about whether women are on a career track and, thus, what age they start having children. Poor women generally aren't on a career track. They finish school and start working a job that doesn't require school or much training. So they can (and do) have children pretty early. Rich women do usually go to college, but they meet a future husband there who is on a high-earning career track and are able to start a family relatively early because they don't have to help pay the bills.

What I'm saying, though, is that if you look at the fertility curve[1] you'll see that many middle class families could eliminate one earner and still have 2-3x the income as poor families that have more children. But people are choosing not to do that (well, secular people are choosing not to do that; intensely religious people often do exactly that).

That's what's interesting to me.

Ask HN: Why would I use a class over a module for stateless computation?
I’m a fledgling programmer, experienced enough to write code that works and solves real business problems but by no means a seasoned software engineer. I mainly code in Python, and as I gain experience I find myself reading code written by other programmers more and more frequently. I’m usually reading the code of mature, highly regarded tools (e.g., Requests, Ansible, some lesser-known but clearly high-quality tools), and I can’t help but notice that the people who write this code tend to take a much more object-oriented approach than I do. In particular, they use classes in situations where I would use modules, and objects in situations where I would use dicts or tuples (or named tuples, which I’m fond of). The style I’ve developed so far is to use a module when I’m trying to bundle related functions that don’t manage state, and to use classes when state-management is inherent to the problem and I want to shield clients from it (or “encapsulate” it).

On the one hand, I don’t want to blindly imitate programmers who are dealing with problems of a different type (or scale) than those I’m dealing with and end up making my own code unnecessarily complex. I sometimes have an imaginary conversation with a composite “seasoned Python programmer” in which I proudly show him code that I’ve written as a collection of classes, and he looks at me quizzically and says, “Why did you write all these classes to solve this problem? I would have just used modules.”

On the other hand, as I’ve matured as a programmer I’ve noticed that my code has started to look more like the code I read, not due to conscious imitation, but because I’ve improved and those improvements have naturally made my code look more like the code of more experienced programmers. If I’m inevitably going to rediscover the reason for using objects when state isn’t an issue, I might as well just be told what I’m missing and save myself some time (and spare my employer the inferior code that I’ll be writing in the interim).
