Plenty of Germans who are neither tourists nor newcomers also don't get this. But compared to Poland, Romania, Greece, Lithuania and Latvia driving in Germany is pretty safe.
It was short ;-)

Yeah, the problem is just that when it's space, the zoom by in a high speed. Taking the lane and then yielding will force them to overtake at a reasonable speed, at least.

If you’re clever you only have the higher refresh rate while drawing or animating, so the battery hit is limited.
So you are essentially not solving a problem for fear of a minuscule amount of suckers?

Two decades ago, there was a big press campaign in Germany over "lazy professors" with some prominent illustrative examples (which I am sure existed). As a consequence academia was covered with bureaucracy to prevent this. Now professors do paperwork instead of science or teaching.

For the greater good society should be able to cope with a few free-riders.
There is a deep rabbit hole to go down once you start watching shiny videos of industrial machines. Once you watched one, your recommendations will be full of them, including gems such as automatic boiled sausage unwrappers and slicers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNRfVfm8eFw
$1 Trillion USD seems to me to be a woeful understatement... like less than a tenth of the cost. I guess the rest is assumed to be borne by the working class.
Plenty of legal businesses too, e.g. Bank of Brazil in Rocinha:

When I lived in an affluent part of Rio, I often got my haircut, bought fruit, veg and groceries in the local slum.

Many locals believed the slums were strictly no-go. While some certainly were, many were fine. Rather than build a mental barrier around these places, I find its better to interact.

Common sense, courtesy, some humility are all that are required - that goes for the high brow malls as well as the favelas.
The trucks are from Poland because Polish drivers are cheaper than German drivers. So that's a lot of German loads hauled between German companies with Polish trucks and drivers just for cost cutting reasons.
Have you considered just adopting a faster cruising speed? Would this not solve all your problems by giving more room for error should someone behind you have to hit the brakes if you misjudge? Almost all cars can comfortably run 170 kph and it sounds like it would make you a lot less stressed (arguably stress and nervousness are more dangerous than the speed differential itself; the speed differential can be anticipated by others, whereas nervous driving is inherently unpredictable for everyone involved.)

The not-wanting-a-truck-behind-you thing is new to me, didn't know that was a thing.
I'm also a long time Dvorak user and I looked into other layouts and while some of them seemed interesting or even superior to Dvorak the difference is probably too small to justify learning a new layout. Even the Colemak FAQ says as much: https://colemak.com/FAQ#Is_it_worth_switching_from_Dvorak_to...

>I'm rather skeptical of Colemak and other layouts that overly resemble Qwerty. It seems almost certain that they're sacrificing some degree of improvement for similarity to the layout

You might be wrong about that, see http://mkweb.bcgsc.ca/carpalx/?popular_alternatives for a rather in-depth analysis of keyboard layouts. Some QWERTY-like layouts manage to score overall better, although the difference is not huge.

Personally these days I'm more interesting in experimenting with different keyboard shapes rather than tweaking the layout some more. I'm currently playing with OpenSCAD to create a custom 3D printed split ortholinear keyboard in the spirit of the Dactyl.
My experience with German road police it that they can be really obnoxious and rude. Me and a friend got stopped once in Germany, and we were picked out solely because of our Dutch license plate, nothing more. Guy demanded to search our car, demanded we open and empty all of our luggage. He was sure he'd find some marijuana since we're Dutch. Held us up for more than two hours, threatened to get a sniffing dog (which he hoped would make us give up what he suspected we had), and just being an enormous douche. He then just left us standing next to the highway on a very dangerous spot with all of our luggage a mess and on the street.

So yea, probably he just had a bad day. Or, he's one of the many many men that work for the German Police that are just enormous a-holes.
One point here beeing that to reach a mental state you might have to not trying to be reaching that mental state but trying for the actual activity.

Vilnius: Where the Chernobyl HBO Miniseries Came to Life
The only thing I noticed in 10 years of zsh use is
that `printf "%b\n"` can be used in bash but not in zsh to unescape C-style strings: E.g. `printf "%b\n" '\"abc\"'` ==> "abc"
I use a Dvorak layout with the I and U reversed as in Dutch and English the I is used more frequent. I could change and optimize more but then I compatibility would be less (remapping is not always easy). I can fallback to qwerty if needed.
Ad 3: I use Karabiner-Elements on MacOS en Autohotkey on Windows to easily switch.
I sometimes write German, but I don't bother with the umlauts, I suffix with e... not sure if a German reader finds that annoying.
I'm from Belgium, and every time time I can I go to Germany to drive on the Autobahn. If you say there are a lot of assholes in Germany, try and drive in Belgium, nobody can drive here and everybody drives on the left and doesn't have a general idea of driver around you. For example:

When I drive in Germany on the left lane, and there are 2 lanes blocked by trucks, and another car wants to pass them on the left lane, they will see me and wait (or even break). They know I can't break that fast and will create an accident.

In Belgium, you can drive on the left lane, and somebody merges into the left lane 10 m before you and keep going 90kmh on the left lane creating a traffic jam and unnecessary breaking.

This is what I like about german drivers, they see their environment and know their (and other drivers) location in the traffic.

Also, move to the right rule, it looks like 90% of the people follow it perfectly, in Belgium everybody drives on the second lane.

Spain is the second best country I've driven in. Croatia is also fine.
Agreed, I've been using Dvorak for almost 10 years now. It's more comfortable, and I can type roughly 20WPM faster compared to when I was using qwerty. That being said, switching to something better really does sound interesting.
Disney has a bunch of shows that are just kids doing stuff. It’s scripted, but has the same ability to occupy kids time. They have production quality, but seem less than some homemade youtubers.

It's called an invoice. I'm not sure why the blockchain would need to be involved.
20 years from now will be better... I think anytime in the future is good to be alive at that time because you're alive at the 'latest' point in time. Everyone who died yesterday would love to be alive today. We can only know what we have and can experience today though, someday there may be FTL travel, that'll be exciting. Someday we may even find friendly or even non-friendly E.T.'s that'll be exciting too. Someday robots may do ALL menial tasks while mankind enjoys our time in research and scientific endeavors. Money may not even exist and we might value knowledge and learning above all else.

This time is definitely the best time we've had, but the future looks very interesting. I long for immortality tech not because I fear for death, I fear missing out on what the future holds.
I like this idea, but they need more content. Right now, this site is a paid service where you can get a handful of good YouTube channels. Thing is, this only has maybe 1/3 of the good YouTube channels I actually subscribe to. If I just use YouTube instead, I can watch all of these channels, plus Scott Manley, The History Guy, Military History Visualized, a handful of gun channels, Essential Craftsman, a bunch of genuinely worthwhile sports channels....
Does anyone know if that could be enabled in VS Code?
Yes it is. And I know, I got no data to back it up, just experience and logic. And yes, there are some people who really like to post a lot here and enjoy it. But they are the exception.

Disclosure: I work in DevOps/SRE and I am honestly a bit put off by what you are saying. I think I'm actually a little bit angry at your comment.

It’s easy to say things like “should never be global” and “should not be hard to test”. These are goals, and meanwhile the business must go on, you also have other goals, and you cannot spend your entire budget preventing network outages and testing configs.

The things you are suggesting—separate control plane, non-global configs, making them easy to test—you can find these suggestions in any book on operations. So forgive me if your comment makes me a bit angry.
And is it better to have ambitious goals vs realistic goals? What might the impact of society be if we put up very ambitious goals but fail them all massively, what will happen to the trust of government institutions?

this. exactly why no one trusts their governments anymore.
This reminds me, I was planning to extract my own most-highly-voted comments and see if I could make some sort of book or longform piece out of them.
You can say publicly that a court decision was politically motivated. What matters is how it is said and somewhat by whom (a member of the government might be held to higher standards).

You have to give credit to react time which seems that started this paradigm of declarative and reactive ui frameworks. After that you got react native, flutter, jetpack compose and now swift ui. As for declarative (but not reactive) ui prior art is also Qt qml.
Can wait for confirmation, wichert's comment on the original thread[1] (that I can't link to directly for some reason) mentions the gcloud listing these regions as affected:

"
gcloud tells me:

WARNING: The following zones did not respond: us-west2, us-west2-a, southamerica-east1-c, us-west2-b, southamerica-east1, us-east4-b, us-east4, us-east4-a, northamerica-northeast1-c, northamerica-northeast1-b, us-west2-c, southamerica-east1-b, northamerica-northeast1, southamerica-east1-a, northamerica-northeast1-a, us-east4-c.

True. But I said "some people".

It's not everyone, but the typical millionaire in the US became a millionaire by producing a lot of value for somebody else.
ah yes, I forgot. It's not that funny anymore.

It's not about societies being different. It's about Chinese international students engaging in blatant plagiarism, refusing to participate in classes, completely refusing to integrate, engaging in pro-chinese anti-local political activism, and basically expanding the CCPs political reach into foreign universities. This is something that all tertiary educators are painful aware of, as is the reluctance of faculty to take disciplinary action against international students because they're a major source of revenue. This is also something that is quite unique to Chinese and not other international students.

The Chinese students who don't subscribe to the CCP agenda are pressured by the others. They get labelled traitors, ostracised, word gets around and their families get harassed back at home.

In a nutshell, the CCP has identified inclusive societies as a soft target for remote propaganda achieved via international students. The CCP is highly selective in deciding who gets to leave the country to study abroad. This is something that couldn't even be discussed until recently because such discussions were/still are labeled as racism.

Stuff like this: http://www.tibetanjournal.com/tibetan-girl-wins-university-e...

If AU/US international students tried to do anything like this in China, they'd be deported in the following few days but not before getting death threats and having their entire family doxxed and harassed.
Infineon to Buy Cypress
Just a few things on your points, men are still financially responsible for children they have raised, even if they are not genetically related. Most people think it's the right thing, too.

Infidelity is not illegal either, by the way, there's no penalty for it because the state doesn't have a say in who sleeps with who. Of course it's a cause for divorce though.

In the end, no matter what might happen to the parents, the justice system is all about the interests of the children. It might not always be fair to the father or the mother, but if it's better for the kid then that's how it is.
Not unless there's a specific version made for Code.

Or "If you use all of our products, you'll reap the benefit of tight vertical integration".

I suppose its a cup half full type deal.
I think its still fine, as long as someone can afford it. We can't ask them to be fair its just take it or leave it. These days privacy is a luxury, rather than a fundamental right.
In what way do you find the film to be magnificient? I found it to be extremely boring. I also read the book, thinking that the movie might misrepresent it, but alas, the book was even more boring. Literally nothing happens. The molasses like plot really conveys the feelings of the researchers in the book. You spend ages studying the text with barely any payout.
The customer being able to decline chargeback per transaction is nonsense, because the primary use case is fraud; you don't want the fake "customer" being able to decline the real cardholder's ability to chargeback.

(There are chargebackless payments such as bank transfer; the £5k wood example above would be a good case for that.)
That's true, but then for that to happen you need a working government and society, you can't do that if inefficiencies abound. China, Japan and South Korea all had powerful governments who made hard choices, India's on the other hand is weak and ineffective.
Would be interesting to understand how this works? The paragraph supposedly explaining it, says it grabs code for some of the top GitHub projects to build a model of what good code practices are (I am assuming?).

Global warming could end life on earth, or at least cause an ELE where 90%+ of organisms are wiped out. The biggest threat I think is creating a feedback loop where warmth thaws permafrost, permafrost kicks up methane/carbon gases, causing more thawing and faster at that, then it'll get bad really fast.

Politically I think water wars could be big depending on how much water is lost as a result of evaporation and polution, I think this could be more pronounced in Africa and the Middle east, but we could have issues between Mexico, AZ, California and the south western USA where it's more draught ridden. Forest fires will continue to get bigger and more frequent causing a change in ecosystems where forests may turn to baren deserts.

Lack of water also will cause farming to be tougher. I'm hopeful we eventually science the shit out of all this stuff, but then we could get an asteroid the next year that wipes us out anyway, no use really fearing but doesn't hurt to prepare as best we can.
They’re offering privacy, yes, but not as a service. They’re still very much in the business of selling devices to their customers, and this business model is incidentally one of the main reasons they, unlike Facebook or Google, can afford to offer such comprehensive privacy measures.
Or if the US values are really better the students would bring their home, I am not sure how this phenomena is called but about 300 years ago when wealthy students from Romania went to study in France and return caused a big cultural improvement.
Final blow at least for me will be at least some minimal interop with c++ (instead of just c) and sort of reflection mechanism.

There sure are a lot of developers only interested in developing for Apple platforms. But wouldn't it be beneficial for Apple to extend the framework outside their ecosystem? I doubt the reason they haven't is to limit expending resources.
What a beautiful code! It's not that common nowadays.
I don't think hard locks on the wheels are a good thing.
Excuse me but... what's your point? New ridiculous laws are being voted everywhere. From France's point of view it looks like the US keeps coming up with those (e.g. healthcare, net neutrality, Alabama abortion ban). Maybe you're from a sensible country, I surely hope there are some, but of course you're going to hear mostly about the bad laws because that's what people are most interested in discussing (for example, gender equality being enshrined in the first article of our constitution wasn't discussed a lot). I can't deny that there's been some regrettable decision-making in my country. I'm just a bit frustrated that the top comment seems to imply that a country is on a dangerous path because things sometimes come up about it on HN.
The higher the feeling of urgency the more people we can put on the problem, the faster we can solve it the more likely we are to solve it. The longer we wait the harder it becomes to solve because it creates a feedback loop.

If we just procrastinate and say let our children worry about it and they do the same it'll definitely be too late. We can't always just pass the buck and hope someone else figures out a fix.

The Design of RavenDB’s Security
I think there should be more software engineering in academia for different reasons too.

In the past academia and government agencies developed the internet and its communication protocols; this was (imho) a much better internet than the corporation-dominated internet we have today.

I'd like to see a resurge of this type of internet. Let us use well-researched open protocols again; and let us use applications which are really built for people, not advertisers. Let corporations build the hardware, but let us keep our data far away from them.

And besides the computer science / software engineering branches, I'd like to see other fields (like industrial design, and for instance even sociology) to join the development of a better digital future. The kind of future where everybody profits, not just shareholders of big companies.
Minor irony in that if you bought another iPad you wouldn't need it
I love reading the AWS post-mortems since they're always very detailed in describing the roles of the impacted systems, the intention of the action that caused the outage, the actual action triggered, all the nuances involved in the bug or irregularities from expected behavior, impact to systems, complications, and resolution. It paints a very complex and through picture of how their massive outages are a collection of generally simple failures or oversights that had to all line up just right for catastrophic failure.

Every time I read a Google post-mortem, they seem to hand wave everything away as "a configuration error", "bug", or "bad deploy" and their resolution always has the generic "implement changes to things" that says absolutely nothing. Honestly, when the the causes of these massive disruptions are so simply dismissed, it portrays their system as frail amateur work.
Also wondering the same thing. What does this accomplishes over Resharper (for example) ?
