£6 for a 90 minute 130 mile trip? Sure is amazing.

High costs on the WCML for flexible peak fares are becase

1) The costs subsidise rail elsewhere, like regional networks in the North and Welsh Valleys

2) The price encourages people to take less busier trains

(2) falls down a bit with the hard cutoff, because there's no "shoulder peak" at Euston, meaning that 1840 is empty but the 1900 is really full, but the principle remains.

> Skimming the repo it has about a thousand lines of code and a bunch of dependencies with hundreds of sub-dependencies. Do you read all that code and evaluate the reputation of all dependencies?

I usually do a quick check to see if there's any red flag. Like URLs or Base64 blobs.
I also try to stay away from programs written in languages whose environment I don't know so I can check if any dependency stands out wrt what the program claims to do.

It isn't when it's commoditized.

I have 4 or 5 grocery stores within a short walking distance of me right now. I can buy roughly the same stuff in all of them. I usually go to whichever is cheapest for the stuff I want to buy. They differ in sizes, so they don't stock all the same things, but there's nothing stopping any of them to sell any of the products the others do. This is how healthy competition works.
I've been using lichess training for the past few months; doing at least 50 puzzles per day has improved my game so much lately. You can do 50 offline so it's great when you're riding public transportation or taking a break from work.
One must remember that a direct quote from Boris Johnson, the (now) prime minister was "Fuck Business". Leaving the EU is about avoiding scrutiny, not stimulating business.

While it's true that the Tory party of old (charitably until ~2015) may have cared about competitiveness for business, that party is now dead - overtaken by the extreme right. The only thing that matters to them at this stage is power, and personal enrichment, and they have become masters of disinformation and confusion to ensure it -- a job made much easier by the generally awful state of the press in the UK. It's a shame that the opposition are, as you say, no better.
I was in grad school when Wave hit. I was dumb founded when they cancelled it. I've heard only a very few people whom tried it say they didn't think it was awesome, which leads me to believe they didn't kill it because of a lack of viability at all - they killed it because it competed with other strategic initiatives, imho. This would have been the pre-slack killer easily. Looking at it's features (in conversation threads, drag and drop photos, adding folks to conversations, etc) one almost thinks it was the inspiration for slack even.

Anyway, Wave wasn't killed because it wasn't viewed as viable, it was killed for politics, which is probably why it's creators and engineers were so pissed off. Shame.
Yes, I do that.

Your comment doesn't address my point, and comes across as facetious.

My point is that people who flippantly dismiss concerns over fluoride safety are not dispassionately examining the scientific research, and thus are motivated by ideology, not science.

Meanwhile, many people who could benefit from reducing their exposure to fluoride don't do so, because the official government/medical establishment line is that fluoride is perfectly safe for everyone and seeking to avoid/reduce exposure to it is unnecessary and stupid.

This continues to be the case despite a solid body of evidence that fluoride maybe a contributor to thyroid illness, a problem that causes a huge amount of chronic suffering for a huge number of people.

It's a serious issue that deserves better than the flippancy your comments exhibit.

Marmelade in German means "jam". Orange marmelade (DE) means marmelade (en). With pronunciation differences 8)
I'm not certain, but the `extern` variant probably doesn't reserve space at compile-time; it just says "the linker will know where to find these". So resolving those symbols might need to wait until link-time. The tentative definitions probably do reserve space (and hence an immediately-known address), and the later true definitions just supply the initial value to put in that space.
I mean, in Poland "Marmolada" is exactly like the Portuguese variety, absolutely nothing to do with the British Marmelade.
In Serbia, Croatia and Hungary this is known as kitnikes (pronounced as kit-nee-kez), from German quittenkäse (quince cheese)

> To the armchair HN community who ask "why does it take 1k engineers to run <insert random silicon valley app that operates at global scale>". Here is your answer.

I think the usual question isn't why a random SV app yas 1k engineers, but why does it have < 100 engineers and 2k+ administrative and sales&marketing people.

The answer is the same, but let's be clear: this is not an engineering job. It's legal and sales job.
Re the deja-vu. Maybe I have made the same comment on "τέκτων" before. Sorry, I can't remember. I write way too much on HN.

The wikipedia page you link favours the "wood-worker" translation, so you are probably right and I'm wrong, but I have to say that Greek _is_ my language and "τέκτων" just doesn't sound anything like "wood-worker" to me. It's probably just my modern ears. Thanks for correcting me and apologies for opining on something I don't understand that well after all (the etymology of the word).

I don't think it was killed because it didn't catch on - almost everyones whom used it viewed it is positive and it was hardly even launched before they killed it. All of it's features are now in almost every chat application. Look how long they let the ghost town of Google+ linger on around for before sticking a fork in it. I think it was pure internal politics that killed wave and nothing else.

How to Build the Best Home Solar Energy System
Saving energy not only helps protecting the environment, it also improves our economy. You can reduce your electricity bill by doing some things in your home, however, if you want to reduce energy consumption significantly the best way is to build a home solar energy system. In this article, I'll explain some simple ways that will help you save energy.

Saving energy is the most effective way to reduce emissions of CO2 (carbon dioxide) into the atmosphere, and therefore stop global warming and climate change. It is also the fastest and easiest way to do it. For every kilowatt/hour of electricity we save, we will avoid the emission of approximately one kilogram of CO2 in the power plant which burns coal or oil to produce that electricity.

Almost all the ways you can take to save energy at home are logical: to avoid leaving lights and appliances switched on, and use them only when necessary. However, there are some extra tips you may find useful:Always keep your appliances clean. Dispose food wastes in the microwave, toaster, etc. Keeping them in good condition reduces energy consumption.

It really depends on where you are based and if you are wanting remote or not?

If you're in a major metro area like NYC/SF/London etc then I'd suggest Java/Scala/C++. If you want remote then JS seems to have the most opportunities going.
> Related to but larger and more sour than a pear, the quince is inedible raw

Not true, not inedible, and not necessarily sour. They are oddly dryish (think the opposite of a juicy pear) but I like them.

Regarding the blocky confection, you can get it easily in london, in the right place, and I find it offensively sweet. Less sugar and it's be good.
What you describe sounds very much like a system that could be implemented with computers and software. Has anyone ever tried to do that?
It seems like it is closer to the Portuguese stuff, but not that close to either. In Sweden we use the same word for both the orange jam (plus some other kinds of jam) and for the gelatine candy.
The trick is to understand that most products don't need to have 99% uptime. Your business will be fine if you are offline once in a while.

Hell, the stock market goes offline every night.

Those last % of uptime are very, very expensive at every level (money, people, logistic...). They better be worth it.
> It's not that big, and there isn't that much that needs change.

Not... That... Big? It is a _huge_ library. A naive wc -l of just the c files, and none of the headers, lists a result of 30,654.

That's not a small project. And as it's a library and not a self-contained application, that's one of the bigger libraries around. In fact that's one of the sighted inspirations for linenoise, that readline is too big.
Essentially all the existing Ui paradigms are better.

Trees are fiddly and poky things to navigate.

Tree oriented uis leave information hidden and require lots of clicks. Ugh.

Special cases and complexities constantly arise in tree oriented uis and clear consistent solutions are often hard to fit in to the system.

Programmers love trees though because truth is a lot of data is in tree form so the assume that data structure should be surfaced to the user.

It not correct though. Simple flat uis are much better.

My obsession with trees culminated in building a major business system that realized my dream of a fully tree oriented ui. It was shit.

I totally redesigned and rebuilt it several years down the track.

Now I don’t put trees in uis.
I'll just leave this here to add a bit more background:

This misses the genius of k8s. When you adopt it, you’re adopting a completely declarative way of provisioning your system. It’s a total paradigm shift and I will never go back. My big want, is a kube as a service for small workloads - I.e I can just apply a deployment and everything goes up, no cluster considerations or whatever.
There are cases where the compiler can't enforce it:

How can the compiler know if `p` points to space for 10 integers?
At least in the recent case of Tesla thefts here in Sweden the car thieves also blocked/disabled the GPS tracking before driving away so tracing the cars was impossible.
Currently the trains out of euston to use HS2 are typically (there's occasional extra stops in the peak)

1tph First Stop Warrington (2h20)
1tph First Stop Crewe (1h40)
1tph First Stop Stafford (1h20)
1tph First Stop Stoke (1h30)
2tph First Stop Rugby (1h)
1tph First stop Coventry (1h10)

There's other trains that stop at Milton Keynes that will move too (Wales, Manchester), with far more additional trains stopping at MKC

Some make additional stops in the peak, but that won't happen with HS

Typical HS2 service will be

Euston (for Crossrail2/Northern Line)
OOC (for Crossrail/GWR/Heathrow) -- 5 miles
Birmingham Interchange -- 100 miles
Crewe -- 160 miles

Or

Euston (for Crossrail2/Northern Line)
OOC (for Crossrail/GWR/Heathrow) -- 5 miles
Birmingham Interchange -- 100 miles
Birmingham Central -- 150 miles

With some trains non stop from OOC to Manchester Airport (175m)
I was in a pub hearing a guy talking about the startup I was/am working in being acquired soon. He was right....
In Singapore they have monopoly on car servicing and distribution. C&C takes care of Benz and Performance motor for BMW. Then Japanese and Korean cars are also by single distributor entities. They control the price and the market.

Also Oil and Gas is core industry for Singapore economy. So when anyone fills gas it helps government revenues and generate jobs. Climate is not the primary concern given the small footprint of Singapore.

Also if Tesla comes in Singapore as it is perfect place for its range BMW, Benz which are the primary brands will suffer heavily. Also thousands of jobs repairing gasoline engine, oils, filters will be lost. Since electrical car do not have as many mechanical moving parts as traditional gasoline car it will reduce maintenance costs and car servicing and parts related business.

So Singapore won't let Tesla setup up easily. It will be taxed higher than other electrical car companies which works on fringes and do not threaten the oil and gas related automobile jobs and taxes.
that was a very interesting read, thank you
well, I still think that Qt is the better solution, and so by an order of magnitude :-) it allowed me to write the software, which is being used in production in mac / linux / windows, while doing a ph.d. at the same time ; not sure I could have done the same with any of the other options in there (an older version was using JUCE but it was full of problems ; in particular JUCE's software renderer is much less efficient than QPainter).
And for all of REAPER's goodness, it took decades before getting a linux version.
That could be said about nearly everything that you do.

Just thinking about the headline.

Turning EVs into a rich persons lifestyle is a good way to start a boom down the line.

The rich people will often be positioned to put pressure on politics and businesses as well, and they want to be able to charge their shiny toy, right?

Suddenly everyone wants a big screen in an EV cause’ it’s cool; ”Oh, look at this rich, happy dude in his awesome toy on insta!”

Queue really, really cheap long range model 3... cough

Changing an already put in place lifestyle where needed (US? Europe). I personally can’t tell yet if EV is the way to go, but at least it’s something. Musk is obviously convinced.

So, what I’m saying is that Elon might very well be going for climate/environment, not to say there’s better ways. Awesome public transit for example.

As a Scot, I am skeptical how HS2 is going to improve the Edinburgh and Glasgow lines to London. Considering they don't go via Birmingham (they go Warrington, Stoke, Milton Keynes)
I would be broadly supportive of this, but with noted exceptions: the dependency by individuals on their gmail and like service is now very high. "I'm sorry, we can't service you" is a huge back-bite risk which makes this high-stakes: there is no contract enforcement which can make FAANG meet both the end user and the state obligations.

Overall, I think the tax issue is bigger than the tariff issue: The ludicrous inter-entity transfer pricing models have to end. Likewise the extra-territoriality of US data law has to end.

Rules engine rules are code; just code in a language that is usually very simple but also (because it's not used anywhere else) completely obscure.

Btw, you should be aware that the government has full access on whatever private information corporations have about you, that's the whole point of what Edward Snowden revealed.
Some people run ~everything in individual containers, with original commands being aliases for the docker (or whatever) equivalent.

I've shunned that assuming it'd be a big slow down, but I do keep meaning to at least try it, uh, after I knock it.

(No, containers like anything else aren't and haven't been completely secure all of the time since and forever, but it'd take a more sophisticated - and certainly deliberately malicious - tool to do any damage to your system, or to files you didn't explicitly allow it access to.)
These are the install instructions the docs say to use:

$ git clone https://github.com/Y2Z/monolith.git
$ cd monolith
$ cargo install

These are the ones I used:

$ git clone https://github.com/Y2Z/monolith.git
$ cd monolith
$ sudo docker run --rm -w "$(pwd)" -v "$(pwd):$(pwd)" -u "$(id -u):$(id -g)" rust cargo install

That isolated the build process. Similar method to isolate the execution of the built project:

$ cd target/release
$ sudo docker run --rm -w "$(pwd)" -v "$(pwd):$(pwd)" -u "$(id -u):$(id -g)" rust ./monolith https://www.grepular.com

Slightly related: I released a project last night for easily running node applications inside containers: https://gitlab.com/mikecardwell/safernode - Without even having node or npm installed on the host system, you can still run commands like "npm install" or "npm start" to run node applications safely isolated inside ephemeral containers.
If SG moved directly to EV share cars, and did some structural planning around them, We really would be living in the future. The french can keep jetpacks, I want a land based transport system which keeps roads as public utility value.
And why wouldn't the car (all vulnerable cars) deactivate when it one minute later (or X meters) doesn't detect the key in the car?

Probably a safety vs security concern. They don't want your car to suddenly die on you in the middle of the highway if your keyfob battery dies.

David Chapman quotes Kegan a lot in his "Meaningness" blog. I included one link, but you should find more of his writing linked from there. Check out the rest of the site as well.

https://meaningness.com/metablog/stem-fluidity-bridge

ETA: From the (Stanford) article this thread is attached to...

> Kegan (Robert) introduced his theory of self-evolution in 1982 in his book, The Evolving Self. In his later book, In over Our Heads: The Mental Demands of Modern Life (1994), he presented a revised version of his theory and further discussion of the implications of his work for society.

Of those two books, The Evolving Self is the easier read. I would start with that one.

> Do we now just throw away the knowledge that was gained?

Simply? Yes. Most of it was scientifically poor research, of no value, anyway. Only the Luftwaffe hypothermia experiments had any value.

Following the doctor's trial at the Nuremburg Military Tribunals the Nuremburg Code[1] established a minimum set of ethics for human experimentation. It's subsequently shaped many international and national laws and treaties.

Whilst some of that research has been used and cited, there's been many times when referencing it was explicitly ruled out[2].

Performance is a major concern.
Static binaries help also being much more redistributable and hassle-free compared to dynamic linked ones (imagine all those DLLs, so or jar files around - search for DLL Hell or JAR Hell for instance)
Slack adds persistence, shared sessions across multiple PCs and phones, search, accounts with logins, messages to offline users, image and file hosting, and works even if you're heavily firewalled.

i.e. the stuff a veteran IRC user cobbles together from an always-on server running irssi+screen, nickserv, saved identify and ghost commands, a chatbot and some personal webspace.

Still, I agree Slack is far more the child of IRC than the child of Wave. IIRC Wave had full rich text, a threading-like mechanic, and you could edit other people's messages, and documents rather than channels.
Article says Singapore is already uniquely positioned to do 100% EV but has no solution on where to put enough charging stations

So when the solutions arent obvious, reality is: rich people will have the charging stations.

Thats more what the article is about.

Regarding your point, isnt that already whats happening? People want shiny cars, people want expensive things, they want to attract mates with those particular material goods, and enough of the leanest and attractive mates still come out the woodwork for shiny expensive cars and also like environmentally conscious activities. So that part is already working. Mass proliferation is not.
