I firmly maintain that the KA stand mixer is pretty overrated. People praise it for being long lasting, but it's a mixer... just a motor and some gears. I've still got my grandmother's sewing machine, and electronic devices that are older than I am still in working condition. It's not like it's a particularly cheap product. It's pretty high up there, so quality should be somewhat expected.

That said, it's not abuse proof either. I've got the pro, and there were a few times in the beginning when I was making stiff doughs that I could see it struggling with. I imagine with bigger batches that it could probably crap out. From what I've read online, there are definitely better quality mixers out there in the price range.

The attachments aren't really worth it either. They're horribly expensive if you don't buy it on sale or as part of a bigger package and now you're locked in with your machine. For things like meat grinding, I would much rather get a dedicated all steel grinder.

GM can clearly make money from this vehicle if the tighten up their production. I'm sure engineers there know exactly what needs to be done to get there. It probably takes investment, but there will only be a return on the investment if many more Bolts are sold.

To sell more of these cars, they have to overcome public perception that they are some weird new technology. They have to make hybrid engines "feel" as solid as a Hemi. They have to make these cars known, understood, and "normal". Most people just want a car that fits in, they don't want to make a statement. This is why the blandest vehicles, e.g., Toyota Corollas are so popular.

Unfortunately, engineering rarely changes the way someone feels about a product, marketing does.

So to make the Bolt profitable, GM will need to make a significant investment in advertising and marketing to make it the new normal. They don't seem up to that.

The comment seems to suggest some special secret sauce so damn specific to the x86 Arch that final cut pro simply stalls without it.

This is inaccurate. Video editing - a DSP heavy compute scenario, probably benefits from a few SSE/SIMD instructions in x86, and possibly a bigger L1/L2/L3 cache in desktop grade Intel processors. None of the stated features are unique to Intel, and an ARM based SoC can easily incorporate similar techniques. Also, current ARM SoCs from Apple target phones and iPads, which automatically necessitates tradeoffs on inclusion of higher capacity L1/L2... caches & novelty accelerator instructions, not just for battery imposed power restrictions, but also based on use cases. The iPhone isn't designed for final-cut-pro, meaning it's CPU isn't designed for it either! But that doesn't mean anything is lacking in the instruction set (ARM)
We already have cars with 200+ mile range. So even now you're talking 4+ hours driving. That to me is a 'shift' and I'd be looking to get some lunch or something, which can be done at the same time as charging. So that's 8+ hours a day driving. I don't know about you but that's enough driving for me.

And on a road trip I'd expect to be stopping, and looking at stuff.

Not just that, but every note has a different spectrum, and the spectrum evolves in a different way.

Instruments with dynamics - not a pipe organ, unless you include the swell pedal or some of the dynamic effects, like tremulant - the spectrum also varies with dynamics.

So generally, no, you can't accurately reproduce a sound with a single plot of the harmonics.

I'm more curious about how the physicist worked out a spectral plot by hand before sampling and FFTs were invented and oscilloscopes were barely a thing.

I'd guess he sketched the waveform from a scope plot, broke it down into points by hand, and performed a manual DFT - which must have taken quite a while.
No, expert mode is "turn all this crap off and let me control the throttle and gearbox directly".

The article isn't about KitchenAid Mixers. It's about KitchenAid/Whirlpool investing in its workers through programs such as paying for further education and training.

That has nothing whatsoever to do with the point of the article and is noise. The article is about the value of a company financially investing in their employees.
Even X86 chips aren't really X86, they internally compile down to a different instruction set that is more optimally executed. Technical competition between architectures is hardly relevant now. It's more about building a developer network and access to partners with experience with the architecture.

Sure, dedicated tools are superior, however each of the attachments has significantly less marginal space cost they a dedicated powered tool that would replace it, because the motor is shared (as, often, are other parts between attachments, e.g., there are a number of attachments for the grinder attachment.) If you aren't doing heavy volume use on any one attachment, and you don't have a gargantuan kitchen (or even if you are, but you have a small kitchen), space efficiency can be quite compelling.
Me and my family are living very comfortably with less than that, honestly. And I don't expect any noticeable increase in earnings at this point in our lives. I don't personally know and never have in these past few decades anyone earning more than 10 million yen. Maybe if we go back to the 80s.

If you click your own link, you'll quickly notice that the Hypervisor.framework API is incredibly x86-specific, for example one of the methods listed take parameters of type "hv_x86_reg_t".

Hypervisor.framework in its current design has nothing to offer for cross architecture emulation.

Even if this api was changed to provide arm hypervisor functionality, at best you'd probably be looking at an arm-linux-only variant of docker. Not very useful if you are planning on deploying to x86/x64 linux servers.

I think that teaching myself C++ in the late 90’s was a mistake. I remember going through an entire textbook, not being able to do anything with it and stopped programming for years.
I had been with the company for 5 years and was the most senior employee. I simply said "I'm moving but would like to continue working with you remotely." They didn't like it but weren't willing to lose me either.

I worked remotely for them for two years before they laid off the entire engineering team, me included. My next and current job was remote from the beginning. It was easy to get because by then I had proven that I could be effective remotely.
> I'm more curious about how the physicist worked out a spectral plot by hand before sampling and FFTs were invented and oscilloscopes were barely a thing.

Before there were digital FFTs, there were analog equivalents. A prism basically does an FFT on light. I don't know, but I'd bet there were many analog based frequency analysis tools available before digital frequency analysis.

Sometimes I think the HN community is vastly out of touch with normal everyday humans, and comments like this validate it.

If you're making 7 million yen a year, you're making really fucking good money. If you're making 10 million, that company is really kissing your ass and you're essentially royalty. But 15 million is low?

Keep in mind that GDP per capita in Japan is only about 2/3 of America's, and also that the wealth divide is pretty much non-existent while America is basically two parallel societies: people who struggle to get by (or close to it) and the rich and carefree, and thinking 15 mil is low is just insanity. People would work 5 years at that job and retire to Okinawa with that cash.

>Tokyo is actually a little cheaper to live in than Seattle

That's an understatement. It's tremendously cheaper. You can get an apartment near your workplace, eat out 15 times a week, and still only spend half the money you'd spend on a decent in-city apartment in Seattle or SF.

>I tried to politely explain how and why people like me command the kind of salaries we do in the USA, but they just didn't get it.

Oh, no, they got it. They just wondered why someone thinks anyone gets paid that much. Not even most doctors are making that much. You basically requested CEO wages and thought they were crazy.
The Talos missile was an early long range air-defense missile, about the length of a city bus, powered by a ramjet and guided by beam following radar. It was so large that the storage and launchers took up the rear two thirds of a 700 foot cruiser.

The site https://okieboat.com covers all aspects of the ship and missile system and is a goldmine of information about naval technology in the beginning of the guided missile era. Lots of detail about fire control systems, missile development, operations and capabilities as well the ship, it's systems, and it's history. It would be easy to spend a fun week diving into all the rabbit holes. It is one of the greatest sites on the internet if you are interested in the topic. Highly recommended!
I learned C++ in the late 90s and also struggled. I now barely use it at all, mostly relying on garbage collecting languages. But knowing how memory is managed, that it's a resource that can easily be abused, even in a garbage collecting environment has been a huge boon to how I architect projects.

I thought it had to be accomplished by satellite somehow. I looked at a very remote island in the southern Indian Ocean where I was stationed and the amount of detail in Bing Bird's eye view of the geography was astonishing. This was circa 2013. I would be very surprised if they flew a plane out there just for those islands, there are no flights or shipping routes passing by there.
One part of IP law that needs to remain is attribution. We don't want people copying others work and claiming they made it.

Another part is trademark law. It should not be possible for e.g. coca cola to make Pepsi cans with horrible tasting drinks inside.

However, most of Patent law, and a lot of Copyright law should be scrapped.
Jon Lord was a big Hammond fan.
Love his sound.
He isn't out of touch with reality. The economy works on supply and demand. He can make more money in country than another doing the same job, so he chose the country that paid him more. It's perfectly reasonable. It's not about it being a good or bad salary, it's just what the market will bear.
> it is my only vehicle, which is why I went the hybrid rather than full electric route.

At least in the US, I think you'd be underestimating how much one can rely on a proper fully electric vehicle (i.e. a Tesla, and perhaps Bolt?). I doubt a Model 3 LR holder would ever need a second sedan.

While I agree wholeheartedly with the closing part, and things are much different and insular than 30 or 20 years ago, I do not necessarily think this affects Japan economically seriously. We've been hearing about the coming collapse of this or that in Japan and the aging Japanese society apocalypse consistently, but I shudder at the comparison between our living standards and the other so-called developed nations on every trip overseas or to Europe. And more so now than I did 20 years ago.
This is true but you could allow the user to set an offset.
The system isn't perfect.

Just refusing to arm your own country and your allies can't be the perfect answer, either.
If you want to invest a bit in the learning curve, have a look at the free JetBrains MPS (meta programming system): it is a proper language workbench for exactly that.

Itemis, the company behind xtext, is now using MPS.

It supports composable languages and provides IDEs for the language you created with code completion etc.

It is complex, though, so it takes a while to learn.
> Could've gone with a simpler/cheaper wankel or microturbine optimized for high RPM, but I guess it's quicker to slap on an engine you already have.

In these size classes, it's pretty hard to beat Otto or Miller cycle efficiencies, especially with a Wankel configuration or a small Brayton cycle ("microturbine"). You can get much higher power-to-mass with Wankels or gas turbines, but their thermal efficiencies (again, in these kinds of size classes) will be lower with today's technology. And since the overall fuel economy is less sensitive to mass than engine thermal efficiency, these avenues wouldn't make much sense. I do think there are ways to potentially meet or exceed Otto/Miller cycle efficiencies with a gas turbine, but it would require significant dedicated engineering. Not something that would make sense for GM to pursue when they can seek greater payoffs from lean combustion technologies, etc.

To put it another way, as far as the Volt combustion engine is concerned, GM made a sound engineering decision.
Some DSL are success stories (SQL, HTML, CSS, etc).

But most DSL I encountered in the wild were terrible: no community, weak tooling and documentation, plenty of design mistakes and limitations.

And there are so many in the shadows of the corporate caves, lurking in systems created by the cowboy of the moment who though that would be the perfect solution to the problem du jour. It then had to be supported forever, leaving bugs, frustrations, and unsatisfied programmers and users in it's wake.

9 times out of 10, a library would have been a better choice.

But even famous and popular open source DSL can be a mistake. For me the most obvious example is Ansible. Because they needed idempotence, and maybe expected other languages to join in, they created a YAML based DSL.

In the end, you get a terrible coding experience, learning the thing is depressing and can only be leverage for this very tool, plus debugging very complicated deployment files is a huge hassle.

The ironic part ? In the end this DSL just call Python modules. It's just bytecode with extra steps.

They should have skipped the middle man and gone with a well crafted Python API + tooling + doc making hard for you to make something non idempotent.
How is that the Google team couldn't come up with this? The main argument for "satellite" was "it fits on a button". I actually think this was more about egos despite what the twitter story says.

He can definitely get paid more in Seattle if he wants to. That's true. He will also have a cost of living that's pretty much double what it would be in Japan.

And true, it's an issue of supply and demand. He demanded too much and supply isn't there.

His problem is that he thinks they're strange for not just offering more money, not considering that, maybe, just maybe, a country with lower wages and smaller GDP simply can't pay people hundreds of thousands of dollars a year+bonus for jobs. When you think of it purely in the context of big number=good, then it's bad. When you consider Japan is a much cheaper country and there are other benefits (like not having to deal with ridiculously expensive American health care, good public transportation, etc), it's clearly by no means a bad deal. It's a deal probably nobody else in that company's history ever was or ever will be offered ever again.
