Media coverage of Tesla didn't meaningfully change from the days before self-driving craze, when they were only building an electric car and sticking to facts in their marketing.

Chromium is not Chrome. It does not have auto-update. Surprisingly this gives more control by default than with Firefox.
This seems to be somewhat similar in Germany. I got lots of calls from companies trying to sell me SEO optimization or whatever when I was in charge (and listed on the website) for the online business of my former employee. But I received little to none mails from those companies because cold-mailing is prohibited by German laws against unfair competition. Seems to be somewhat broken that you may telephone-spam somebody but are not allowed to do so via mail.
How does that work in the long perspective? At one point it either falls over by itself, or it is chopped down? If it falls over by itself, what is done with it then?

To be fair it is possible to use Anki without trying to memorize the answer. Imagine you have a deck filled with algorithm questions for some interview. All you really need to do is to write something to do. Like "Write a binary search algorithm", "Write bubble sort". Then you just follow what is written on the card and decide for yourself if your answer is correct.
Not exactly. You can install add-ons from outside of Mozilla add-ons site.
The extra certificate is more of Mozilla's seal of approval.

This is why quite a few of my add-ons were not disabled - they were installed with trust from another site and this intermediate certificate was never in chain.

You could even manually sign these add-ons you trust with custom imported CA key for your personal or corporare vetting.
I'd be afraid to use XFS for boot FS in particular. I've read that while it is very solid, if it does fail, it fails _hard_ and becomes irrecoverable.

> One last point of architectural difference is this — XFS has B+ tree implementation for searching files and allocating space. This makes searching and fetching the data much faster. OpenZFS has no such feature.

I wish I could downvote this article, just for this one point alone. I wonder what kind of benchmarking the author did to come to the conclusion of "searching and fetching the data much faster" and how much the B+ tree of xfs contributed to it. Speed depends on a lot of factors (copy on write, compression, journaling, crash recovery, etc.) and I wonder how the author narrowed it down to the B+ tree of XFS. Also, there could be variants of various B family trees even within a same filesystem. So I am not really sure, what the author means by "XFS has B+ tree implementation".

If you are a RedHat shop and deploy linux extensively already, then xfs may be a better option, if you are not looking for most zfs features like volume management, etc. Also, installation, support etc. would be much easier.

This article is shallow in many ways technically, but arrives at conclusions strongly. It just seems like a paid article to promote zfs.

May be an article on LWN would be more meaningful and technically competent to make a comparison than this.
It might not what exactly you are looking for, but i think it's close.

Hello coffeefox!

Luda has just been released for 2 days. Before this release, I used it in some internal projects of the company I'm working for. I'm sorry for unable to share these projects currently.

Personally, I'm using it to build my blog with Rails, the blog will come out soon!

For Luda, there's still a long way to go.

Thanks for your comment!

I keep seeing more and more of these “UX” tips that are completely braindead ideas.
> Smartphone apps need to be ephemeral, up and running in <5 seconds and deleted as quickly.

Since the latter two points have been true for years, I’m assuming this comes down to what you have in mind by “ephemeral”? Something about whether it leaves an App Store purchase record behind or can persist data using e.g. iCloud?
It only got disabled if you installed the version from addons.mozilla.org and not the noscript.net.

Some sort of pinning mechanism would be nice though without having to rely on manual installs and signing.

It's a trade-off, you could end up with a version having a gaping security hole.

With Ubuntu you get binary modules updated together with the kernel.

I moved the opposite direction (btrfs->zfs) because I had issues with my main btrfs rootfs constantly degrading to read-only mode, causing my system to crash and require rebooting.

With ZFS I’ve had no such issues. ZFS uses noticeably much more RAM though.
I see. Yes, the two sides are measuring different things. Still note that the major news there is effectively: "Riess's team reduced the uncertainty in their Hubble constant value to 1.9% from an earlier estimate of 2.2%."

I fail to see that as something that can bring us to conclude anything exactly at this moment but that still more different approaches to measurements are needed. Maybe that Freedman's, or using WFIRST, if it manages to be, or, in the HN link you give, as ncmncm writes, LIGO: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19773731

After more measurements, maybe the theory indeed will have to be more complex than what just "one and only" Hubble constant could allow. Still, the values are close enough that even as different as they're now I'm confident that everything we learned up to now is mostly right. In the cosmological scales there are maybe some adjustments to come, but anything that affects us is really good known.
Ask HN: Why OR based search is still used?
Instead of reducing the results by adding keywords, it increases them exponentially making it hard to find what you are looking for.

1. Docker Hub
chrome -> ~3800 results
desktop -> ~1200 results
"chrome desktop" -> ~5000 results

2. Udemy
aws -> ~2300 results
docker -> ~750 results
aws docker -> 2600 ~results
"aws docker" -> 0 results
"docker aws" -> 8 results

What is this form of search still a default way on some places?

You are 30 years old. Why would you need any help from relatives? Take ownership of your life. Don't put as your life goal to find the next shoulder to lean on. I know it's hard to be physically separated from your family and friends and everyone you knew. But it's your life.
It looks like Zig has some decent documentation (something I treasure), but it looks like file I/O is missing. I'm sure it assumes the user is at least intermediate with C (I can only get by with lots of googling). I'll give Zig a try if someone can put up an example of reading a .CSV file (something I do a lot and wish I had faster tools to do) and if it is less of a hassle than C/C++.

I think this might be easier if you are working as a group and have a big clock on the wall. I am a rubbish instrumentalist, but do hang around with a hell of a lot of musicians, and 'how long was that' does seem to be one of the most commonly asked questions of each other when they are in a studio. Also, if paying for a studio, they generally become very good at estimating the current time.

I disagree. Perhaps I don’t understand your complaint fully.

Timestamptz column values are the UTC timestamp, but the returned time zone aware result will depend on your db settings, or even local time of your client. Which i think is what everyone would want.

Storing an extra column time zone with a timestamp is just an inconvenient way to implement timestamptz.

I'm taking into account the article's description of it as probably first being cooked by the Chinese diaspora as well as the linguistic borrowing. [Char] Kway Teow is a standard Chinese diaspora menu item across SE Asia (the words refer to flat rice noodles and I believe are Hokkien rather than Mandarin) although the Singaporean/Malay versions have [multiple] different approaches to spices and sauces. All food cultures overlap of course, but it's probably a less distinctively Thai dish than the curries and spicy salads (the former of which are arguably even better known to Westerners)

The rest should be basically string operations...

While this discussion is about Amazon's shipping coverage, surely I cannot be the only one concerned that Amazon is going to destroy (more than it has already done) many other competitors and that consumers would be left with one large store that can exploit them any way it wishes to! This is increasingly scary to me, since Amazon is now the largest online retailer (in my knowledge) in India too. Walmart's purchase of Flipkart (which is a local online store that started like Amazon did and grew big) doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
Put your number on the National do not call registry. It doesn't stop all calls, but in my experience, it greatly reduces them.

Tell HN: My usability pet peeve – am/pm times with a leading zero
I don't know why I've started noticing this a lot more recently on websites, but it seems to be getting more common to see times-of-day stated in the am/pm format but still using a leading zero on the hour. E.g. "03:00 pm" instead of "15:00" or "3:00 pm". My brain has got so used to parsing the 24-hour clock such that I see a leading zero and assume it's a morning time, then there is the moment of cognitive dissonance when I spot the "pm" and have to recalculate in my mind (especially if the time in question is in a foreign time zone). Does anyone else anecdotally get this? Has anyone measured whether it is a problem on a larger scale?
GitHub is at an interesting inflection point. Before the acquisition, VCs stoked the growth by giving away bandwidth and storage. Now that GitHub is a Microsoft property, the same continues because MS has been on a ten-year mission to build goodwill in the developer community.

That may not last forever. The original GitHub people will gradually drift away once their vesting concludes. If overall growth stalls, Microsoft management may yet feel the temptation to start squeezing GitHub for cash.

I suspect they'll acquire NPM along the way too, to have a better lock-in in place.
Browser Fingerprinting: A Survey
The US has 2 levels of obstetrics professionals -- MD/DO and Certified Nurse Midwife. CNM's are nurse practitioners with a Masters or Doctorate degree. They don't do surgery, and the smart ones don't do births outside the hospital.

In the US you also have "Professional Midwives", Doula's and Certified Professional Midwifes -- none of which have any real health care training requirements. In most other countries when they speak of midwifes, they mean nurse midwives.
I don't think he's confusing anything; doulas aren't medical personnel.

Not sure how much this is regional, but in Poland, you absolutely can hire a midwife at some maternity hospitals. It's an extra private service, through which you can select a particular midwife from the hospital to be available to you for consultations and be there to lead and care for you during birth.
A lot of the times when people make it a point to call you it is to avoid leaving an email trail. In litigious environments it serves a purpose. You may argue that calls may be recorded as well but it is far less likely and much harder to search through them the way you can do through email.
Here in NZ, midwife care has taken over to the point where you can no longer get a doctor involved in your primary care at all unless you go fully private obstetric care, which isn't even available where I live.

Midwife-led care has become a weird sort of political and social issue here. It's intricately tied into a narrative about how natural childbirth is better, regardless of the evidence, and much of the culture surrounding it is basically dogma. It's also heavily gender-based - I've never heard of a male midwife here, and a lot of the muttered suggestions about the general terribleness of conventional medical ante-natal care clearly paints male doctors as the bad (or at best, uncaring) guys. There was a study released detailing that our support is not anywhere near as good as we would like to believe (see https://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/parenting/pregnancy/birth...), which the Ministry of Health got involved in trying to quash and ultimately succeeded in having ignored. I understand the midwives' vested interest in trying to control this narrative, but the only reason I can think of for the Ministry to get involved is that they like midwife-led care because it's cheaper, or that they don't want to admit that going as far as we have down this route might not have been the best idea.

We had a terrible experience with midwife care, and if we were able to have another child (we're not, in part because of the first delivery) we would move somewhere that allowed us to have actual medical professionals involved in our care.

There's a really worrying narrative in all of this, along the lines of that doctors are either incompetent or somehow uncaring about childbirth or women's issues relating to it. Massive reduction in maternal and neo-natal death and complication rates is one of the most amazing results of modern medicine and science in general, ever. I'm still embarrassed to admit how I got sucked in by the alternative narrative despite being someone who likes to look at evidence.
The more that comes out of this, the more my opinion solidifies that they just have no effing clue about what the heck they are doing.

I'd expect building safe, efficient, high quality planes to be the answer. Whereas in their minds it's probably generate record profits by maximising ROI on past investments, protecting profit margin at all times having priority over things that might improve quality. Oh and with a complete spaghetti monster of responsibility layers.

I just keep getting more and more disgusted they are getting away with manslaughter.
"Kway teow" is a common term in Singapore, which has far more Chinese than Thai influence. I would suspect the term is Hokkien or Teochew rather than Mandarin dialect.

I learned recently that only about 5% of Walmart revenue is from e-commerce.

The industry average for a brick and mortar is just about 10%.

They don’t do much online revenue because they don’t invest in growing it. They don’t invest in growing it because it’s too small a portion of their business to warrant investment.

Online first companies are eating brick and mortar alive because of this.
The jobs are clearly very different but what we are discussing is doing direct compensation for the risk that third-party people are exposed to in the case of a failure. The theory is that by giving the operator higher pay you reduce the risk to third-parties, in which case water treatment failure is one of the top risks that can effect a very high number of people. A midwife that makes a erroneous decision kills one or two people, a erroneous decision in the water system of a city can kill and serious harm thousands if not hundreds of thousands. Similar is true for nuclear plants but those tend to be already well compensated.

If we ignore the risk aspect to third-party which parent and grand parent comment brought up, and instead focus on pressure, I can think of a few ones which might be worse than midwife and with lower pay. Highway road workers would be one. Having trucks going by in almost highway speed just meters next to you while you are focusing on the work is the kind of hell on earth that I would not want to expose myself to, and it doesn't even pay well.

Other high pressure jobs on the top of my head would be rescue swimmer, as the profession require careful psychoanalytical pressure testing to enter the training program. It also takes a special kind of person to work as a explosive chemist or at the bomb squad. I would also mention the military as an natural example of high pressure job. Each three has widely different degree of compensation compared to each other and even within the professions itself, and compared to midwifery it is all over the place.

There is no clean formula for X(Pressure) * Y(Third-party risk) = Z(Pay), and implementing one would change the compensation for a wast number of professions. I strongly doubt that midwifery would be the one that would see the biggest effect, but I would love to see a study exploring it.
