Your contrived example falls flat because JSON is flat out better for most use-cases and anyone having a discussion about it will probably fit into those use-cases.

People don't discuss solutions in a vacuum. Ideally they'd think about what the potential fallbacks of using XML alternatives are before jumping into a new tech. Which they will, unless they're really really new

> However, I have to admit, I can't immediately list a ton of technical founders I've met who'd be happy to be called VP of Engineering rather than CTO.

How I might explain this to a very technically-inclined audience (the way I would explain this to an executive would be "lay out the management realities of what is expected of a CTO", then sit back and wait for any follow up questions).

It may depend upon how you sell the CTO role. If you get board backing, then the technically-inclined will tend to sort themselves out if you present the CTO role evolving into one that needs someone who no longer codes 20% of the time, but instead only in their limited personal time.

Instead, the role evolves into one more akin to a sell-side investment banker, with lots of communicating between lots of different stakeholders. Endless PowerPoints, traveling road shows to meet investors, if you haven't learned yet then taking etiquette classes so you can concentrate on the conversation around the table instead of stressing over being the only one to not know what they're doing at a table in a Michelin starred establishment, prepping your tech teams on how to present to due diligence teams at customers and investors, meeting with tech teams to get high-level presentations on product technical direction while translating board and CEO strategy into those teams' terms, meeting with the board and CEO to set strategy, researching and talking with analysts about industry direction before deciding what you believe that direction will be and defending your analysis, hashing over the same topics with the board and CEO and other C-levels in a nearly infinite number of permutations, learning golf if you have to, learning how to socialize from actual professional trainers if you have to, "have to" defined by the board and investors on any number of other areas, learn how to read and parse financial statements if you haven't already, hashing out share dilution events between C-levels and your technical teams, setting leadership examples for your technical teams, mediating between engineering/technical department heads if you're in a small enough company, recruiting for such department heads, working with a mentor on how to distill and package complex technical details into salient and succinct framing for leadership, take lessons from PR professionals on talking with the media, and on, and on, and on.

Faced with such hardcore managerial demands acting as a translating layer between the technical and investor/C-level layers, and clear expectations that the board and investors want someone who dives into them without a backward glance at firing up Emacs in Javascript mode at work, most sane early founder CTO's who love the technology for its own sake would leap at the opportunity to take the reins of a VP/EVP/SVP type role depending upon the size of the company, where there is a clear expectation they would still be doing some pull requests, pair programming, etc.
I lived next to it for a number of years and often visited friends who lived there. I’m very familiar with it and the problems it has.

The idea of these concrete enclosed blocks of land being havens for crime and gangs is hardly controversial.

This isn’t the open walkable streets of some nice European city or even downtown Toronto. It’s isolated and poorly maintained. Basically what people have come to expect from city run and planned housing from the past generations.
I do have a quite beefy machine, and yet, I'd still rather not have a bunch of RAM-hungry "build servers" running when there's much lighter tools available. They compete with all of the RAM-hungry Electron apps /s

The Pi is like that because I can ssh into it, make a tweak, rebuild, and carry on with life.
I think you need better evidence for this tension than an episode that's talking about a different country half a century later (the time difference is especially important, because the changes to Paris took place at a time when cars were still being invented, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benz_Patent-Motorwagen "widely regarded as the world's first production automobile" was patented in 1885, 15 years after the initial development according to Haussmans plans stopped)

OP is likely talking about the system that automatically shuts down and restarts the combustion engine when you come to a complete halt. This is meant to reduce emissions and fuel comsumption.
If you're going to make the case that people in technology tribe X are worthy of the title Y shouldn't you at least define what a Y is and how the essential aspects of being a Y apply to people in tribe X?

> Schneider said the legislation was likely to include a ban on non-residents buying cannabis in order to dissuade drug-tourism.

Given the fact they're sharing a border with France: probably a good idea.
Once you double press the lock button, there is a red light that comes on the key and flashes twice. But the thing to remember here is that this only disables the keyless features on that key. If they had the spare key somewhere in the house and didn't double click on the spare, then the spare would have responded the the relay attack even if the main key was switched off.
Wait: read_if_gay_'s claim was:

> ...because if a man’s achievement is highlighted, the fact that a man did it isn’t highlighted, which isn’t exactly the case for women (apparently a woman in the team suffices for an achievement to be credited to a woman), making these two kinds of articles about fundamentally different things: “X was achieved” vs. “A woman achieved X”.

You dispute that claim, and say the consensus scholarly view is otherwise?

My father owned a small business that this happened to. Not Grubhub but a "yellow pages" type site set it up. The contact information was correct, so we didn't think much of it. The site went down after a short period, most likely whomever was funding it ran out of money. In his case it was a speculative sales tactic.

Dairy is a key part of the diet of hundreds of millions of vegetarians. It's undeniably important to the diet of a large portion of India's population, for example.

A different sort of vegetarian diet might work without any dairy (I'm pretty sure this describes some traditional Buddhist food). Not everyone uses the same stuff.
The media spun the story in the first place (the reductive 'a woman who took a photo of black hole') because stories of women achieving things generates clicks.

The media spun the story in the second place (the incredibly simplistic 'developers hate women') because the media dislikes people arguing with it and because sexism generates clicks.
I tried to get to some research on this topic, but it's pretty hard to find anything really independent. There are a few surveys, but there are issues: they're sponsored by Christian/evangelical groups, and I think their respondents are going to be a bit skewed:

I have opinions on how biased this can be...
Yeah this is one of the biggest urban legends in sports. It's just not a thing.

A team won't pay a player just to keep them from going to their division rival or whatnot, it's a nice fairy tail for the ESPN talking heads to keep repeating and it generates a nice bit of juicy controversy, but it just isn't a thing.

Besides it doesn't pass the smell test. If you don't value the player or you think your chances of winning are better by spending that money elsewhere, why would it be a net benefit to your team to keep a player you don't want to pay just to stop him from going to another team? Do you think the Dallas Cowboys are really thinking to themselves "Man, we don't really value RBs like that, but we really got to stop Zeke from going to the Eagles"? Nonsense!

Likewise if Google really doesn't want an employee going somewhere else to put a damper on their dominance, if it really was the goal of that employee to prevent Google's dominance, don't you think there are infinitely many other avenues that person could take? If you are paying for the knowledge, what is to stop this individual from creating a pseudonym and committing to an open source AI library on a separate laptop on their free time? The answer is nothing, and in fact that happens all the time, or the employee is busy creating their side business unbeknownst to the company, leaves, and waits out their non-compete.

It's a silly conspiracy to think smart people will willfully stand by getting paid to do busy work and not pick up on what's really going on, and it doesn't make sense.
>It is also trivial to be this attack by adding an accelerometer to the fob. If the fob isn't moving, don't respond to the broadcast from the car. You could also be more extreme and have the car check constantly. If fob disappears, kill the engine.

That would have to be a pretty sensitive accelerometer but you'd still end up with voodoo stuff like "I have to shake my purse while starting the car". Killing the engine if the fob disappears means you need to be polling the fob. See the lawsuits over heavy keys wearing out the ignition lock and steering column locking up to see what happens when the polling fails. Probably not a good idea, IMHO.
76ers signing Al Horford was probably as much about getting him off of the Celtics (because he's historically given Embiid problems in the playoffs) as it was about actually getting him.
Books to Truly Understand Finance
Sports isn't an equation. The human elements by far outweigh the "on paper" strength of the team. Also you never know who is going to get injured or when, so teams will stack their roster. The only thing that stops the biggest teams from having all awesome players is financials (either salary cap/financial fair play, or simple economics)

Look at how the Patriots succeed, for example. On paper, they are nowhere near the best NFL team. But they contend for championships almost every year.

The only example I can think of recently is Kimi Raikkonen in F1. Ferrari paid him his usual salary after removing him from the first team (each team in F1 only has two seats, then sometimes there is a reserve and an additional test driver role, mostly for the simulator). The agreement was they would continue to pay him his regular F1 driver salary, as long as he didn't race for any other F1 team.

He spent a year doing rally, did a couple of NASCAR races, snowmobile, motocross, and came back the following year for Renault.

Funnily enough, a few years later he returned as a first team driver for Ferrari for a few additional years and now races for Alfa Romeo.

His main thing is he hates promotional appearances (stuff like commercials and autograph signings) and restrictions (he has a private motocross track and shop, and he refuses to race for any team that won't let him ride motorcycles and snowmobiles and whatever the F else he wants to do).
>I personally hate Make, it's burned me too many times.

I’d be interested in hearing about the problems Make has caused you— Whenever I’ve needed to write or edit a makefile, it’s been a pain looking up the relevant details in the manual, but nothing as severe as what you seem to be implying. Have I just been lucky, working with less complicated projects, or something else?
The dominoes fall, one by one.

The upside is that the wealth from legal cannabis sales will now flow through to the rich white men where it belongs rather than to the minority folk who dominate the black market.
I didn't even realize this place had mods or needed moderation, and I've been reading it for almost a decade.
I agree. The article makes it sound like logic and humanity are disjointed, and like the most loved arguments people make here are based on impersonal data without considering ethics. I think this place is exactly the opposite. Try a logical argument in a popular reddit thread, or find the humanity in random communities. More often, arguments without focusing on what's logical creates biases and hurts a lot more feelings.
How much memory does that take, vs something like CMake that starts cold? I can see why you'd want to do that if you have an absolutely massive dependency graph for your build, but outside of a few select companies, that's probably not the case.
I think this all happens because buyers tend to greatly overestimate value of those small features. Initially, producer will devise a new feature to differentiate from competition. Later, competition will feel pressure to keep parity and so they will also include it. It becomes a standard and nobody will sell a car without the feature. That's how you get a car laden with heaps of marginally useful features.
What about Portugal, or is that decriminalisation?
Competition benefits the space. It lowers price of compute and advances technology. One party prevailing over the other for a significant length of time leads to monopoly economics and stagnation of the industry.

The context of recent news is that Intel has been dominant for many years, prices of processors have been high and growing, and performance improvements minimal. AMD is now offering cheaper and faster processors, which characterises a resurgence of competition in the desktop and server compute market. Ideally Intel will improve their offering in response, otherwise facing loss of the market to AMD, and further continue the competition. No impartial consumer should want either company to prevail, but AMD's present lead signals an end to Intel's dominant position.

Developers benefit directly from cheaper and more plentiful computing, but also indirectly as more applications and approaches become practical for their target platform. As devices become cheaper, the potential user base for an application becomes larger.

I don't get why people are so opposed to it, I love it and I drive a Mercedes-AMG. Fantastic feature in traffic.
“Stolen in 20 seconds, but could not drive away.”

Isn’t that the same as “not stolen”?

The definition of stolen seems fuzzy here.
Hybrids are ok, since the initial acceleration is done using the electric motor, and is instantaneous. But some non-hybrid cars will stop the engine when the car stops, and start it real quick as you move your foot off the brake. This gets a bit disconcerting for us drivers that grew up with cars that would have a hard time starting back up if the engine died in an intersection, so the first few times it happens it induces a bit of mild panic.

Especially if you are at an intersection waiting for a gap in traffic, you take your foot off the brake and the engine starts, you start to ease up a bit for a better view then the engine stops again. Now there is a gap in traffic, and you want to go "right now", but if feels like there is that slight hesitation as the engine starts up again before you can start accelerating.

Now on the technical side, then the engine stops, the engine is positioned at a part of the combustion cycle so that it takes very little effort for the starter to get the engine to pop off. And the starter motor is an upgraded version, designed for the frequent use, so overall it is very reliable. But from a psychological viewpoint, it is very hard to shake the feeling that your car engine just died and you are about to get hit by an oncoming car.

If I was doing a personal build in a tower I would probably look at a watercooling loop. The build is 8x GPU rackmount for a small business though and I have not found an aftermarket blower style cooler anywhere. I have found a discussion where someone brought a rackmount case to a machine shop and had custom airflow guides put in between the cards and a hole cut in the top of the case to direct airflow out of since the backplate prevents normal airflow [1].

I can't really think of a current language I wouldn't be interested in learning or learning better.

But there are languages that I am just not sure I am sold yet on, like Haskell. I am not saying it is bad as I just don't know, and functional programming isn't bad, but I am just not sure why Haskell over other options. Would love to hear reasons it might be a better choice and in what circumstances it is advantageous.

That's true today, but what about 30 or however many years from now, where AGI is only a few billion dollars away? Some government will do a Manhattan project, and when word gets out nobody will be able to tell it apart from the thousands of buzzword-driven parasitic schemes that preceeded it.

Interesting that almost all the comments on this thread are related to politics whereas the primary value to me of HN are the technical topics and discussions.

There are plenty of other places on the net to argue politics with bots and paid influencers.
We use GitLab CI, and it's been working maintenance free for 3 years now. We configured the test runners in 2016, and haven't touched them since and they have never randomly broken - even across GitLab updates (of course, YMMV depending on if you like to be on the bleeding edge all the time; we are always 1 cycle behind the bleeding edge).

Which One Is Better Porcelain vs. Ceramic Tiles?
They need to build a server ecosystem. I'm hoping that this success will help with that so that things are better positioned for the next new server CPU launch.

We've had engineering samples of Rome for quite a while. However, there are very few available boards with PCIe4 right now. The one we've tried (under NDA) has a busted BMC that won't accept network settings, which has really hampered Rome testing. We've actually done most of our Rome testing using 1st generation boards, with slower RAM and PCIe Gen3.

I didn't imagine donating 100$ or anything near the price of one of their CPU. It's just that they cracked through years of hard work and it's great IMO.
Politics, IMHO, are about applied relationship and applied power.

Ignoring the discussion of both relationships and power leads to an anemic understanding of freedom and what it takes to enable it which leaves us unbalanced and brittle as a civil society.

The exercise of this privilege is a systemic, cultural mistake and the tendency of conversations to often devolve into tribalism highlights our lack of sophistication and maturity when it comes to these topics.

I try to donate $5 and $10 here and there as best I can. Looking back at paypal receipts I think I spend about $400 a year. It's not great, but it's probably more than most.

Donating a bit of money can really help motivate some folks who would otherwise lose interest. You can also donate your time and create a few pull requests to help out.

Some will stop the engine while idling and the brake pedal is pressed. When it is released it will start the engine again.
This is to avoid idle consumption and emissions at intersections, open bridges etc.
(The stop/start is performed without you turning the key for ignition).

Or the OP simply meant he didn't like the button with the label "start/stop" present on many "keyless" systems (wireless keys) :-)

I put my money on the first. If you're not used to it - it can be quite unnerving when the engine suddenly stops at an intersection.
Audi driver here, and I hate it. Especially hate that I have to push a button every time I start the car to disable it. What an awful feature. Then again, I live in rural America and traffic isn’t a frequent thing I experience.
In the case of London specifically, there's a pretty good public transit system. Most people also have legs they can exercise.

I'm usually in London a few times a year and I very rarely take a cab (whether black or minicabs); don't think I've ever taken an Uber there. Usually only if I need a very early run to the airport or if I have luggage to transport between two locations where transit isn't super-convenient.
