I think it's contempt for people who won't stand by their work. Maintenance engineer implies a very long term relationship with code but you can't get some self-aggrandizing butterflies to support something they wrote a month ago. The truth should be somewhere in between.

When you're young it's easy to derail your complaints by implying you are not smart enough to appreciate the magnificence of the code. I tend to take Feynman's position that if you're really so great, your solutions will be obvious.
Yeah that has worked since Gatekeeper was introduced. Does it still work on Catalina?
Why Crystal over C++?
So a few select works lost by accident justify the mass destruction of thousands and thousands of works?

This comment reads like propaganda. Very weak propaganda.
I don't disagree that it's inevitable. But I think there's value in slowing down this type of progress so society has more time to adapt.

That's why I called out that the value added by self checkout stations is only marginal.

Self driving cars, for example, will also disrupt many people's jobs but perhaps the upside of safety (if that turns out to be true) may be a reasonable trade-off to expedite its adoption.

I don't know Andrew Yang's plan but it maybe just as reasonable.
Nope.

Wget2 was required since we wanted to break some backward compatibility with Wget 1.x releases. So we decided that a major version bump is warranted.

It is also an entire rewrite of Wget in order to support HTTP/2. But this won't be required again when HTTP/3 or other protocols come out
I'm the opposite. I really like it, and I don't even really like Apple.

Companies like Spotify piss me off immensely in the way they lie and whine publicly pretending like they are some cool startup who cares about users or artists or some other causes. Google does the same thing, hiding behind their phono "do no evil" motto. It's something about how two faced tech companies have become.

Apple is arrogant. They always have been. This is just them being who they are, instead of pretending like they are something they aren't. I actually find it refreshing. I wish Spotify would be that honest.
Yes. It does not support plaintext http2.
Lets say I am a student in India, and I want to become an aerospace engineer and work with space. I get all the relevant education, and I want to increase my nation's tech capability in the sector I specialize in. There are a lot of people like me.

According to the article, two-speed transmissions can increase range about 5%. That is important because batteries are so expensive.

However, battery prices are falling rapidly. They dropped 35% in 2018 alone. That being the case, I am guessing most ev manufacturers will stick with single-speed powertrains, and focus their technological efforts elsewhere.
For very similar reasons that they choose ruby over C++ ?
I started quite similarly, doing native iOS development for a good 5+ years.

Fortunately I started playing with React and React-Native for fun. I landed a React-Native position 2 years ago doing both iOS and Android, and am about to switch to a full-stack position, since I also do Django.

The initial idea of owning the whole iOS platform and being able to control every single API worned out after a few years, and I'm glad to be escaping that specialized dead-end.

What drives me to develop front-end apps too is that the threshold to get them into the hands of users is much lower than for apps.

I'd highly recommend you five React-Native a go.
> Ideally, I would sit down and be so familiar to the problems I'm solving, the tools I'm solving them with, and the tools so suited to solving those tasks that I can just type in my solution without having to stop to consult something on the internet.

This is how you can get into Csikszentmihalyi's "flow", if you add a little cognitive work and struggle to it, so it's not just typing in the solution.

> Ideally, I'd be able to have tasks that are highly specified in advance and with priorities that are stable enough that I do not have to have multiple social interruptions per day in order to be on the correct task.

Some tasks are like that, some business opportunities are amenable to that approach, some teams work that way, and many more aren't and don't. But yes, not spinning your wheels is a prerequisite to getting maximally engaged in your work and getting good results. Sometimes that requires a lot of interruptions of the actual work, because the work is rarely well specified in advance. If it was, it probably would not be interesting because it would already have been done.

> Obviously, this is not the situation.

It could be the situation, and there is work that needs to be done in that way. In fact, this work tends to have high value, including business value, precisely because our dominant working style prevents almost all of us from achieving it. We can get closer by mastering our tools and by choosing tools that afford mastery in their use.

> All the "hacks" against iCloud have been social engineering

Which would be a strike against Apple...

> I don't see how users re-using passwords across sites or using weak passwords makes iCloud security a joke.

Logins from new locations is the type of thing other cloud services (like Google or Facebook) protect against by requiring a challenge to proceed even if 2-factor is not enabled.

iCloud only working when the user holds it properly is a very Apple-esque thing, but also still bad. Particularly their 2FA is pretty bad and can be easily bypassed. Because, you know, that good UX flow is preferred to actual security.
For now you need to explicitly use wget2 as the binary.

Over time, the wget binary will be replaced with wget2. The transition should happen smoothly and slowly the same way as the gpg -> gpg2 transition happened.

In this case the information is more misleading because it is on a graph than it would be with just numbers. How can it be a good "comparison graphic" when the graphic part of it impedes my ability to make a comparison?
More of a fig leaf. It's more like "Profit Centred Design Optimised to Extract Maximum Value from Human Users."

Genuine Human Centred Design would create and enhance communities of interest with broader and more humane motivations than corporate profit-seeking.

Unsurprisingly it's rare in corporate projects, and in small-developer projects that ape corporate attitudes.

But it does exist outside of them.

Where I disagree is the notion that design has to be one or the other. I suspect it's more like a continuum, with the worst dark patterns at one extreme, and various not-for-profit empowering and educational apps and projects at the other - the ideal HCD project being a UI/UX that models and encourages humane, "clean", mutually beneficial, and non-exploitative interactions in a way that users instantly feel comfortable with and want to use.

>> The money India spent on this pointless endeavour is beyond reason

The Government of India spends orders of magnitude more money on safety nets for poor people each year. I'm not making claims about whether its enough, or about its effectiveness. It's also not true that the poor people have no hope. India's growing economy has lifted millions out of poverty each year for about 3 decades now, and it continues to grow at a faster pace than other emerging economies. To call a spend of $150m (which is peanuts compared to how much India spends directly on its people) on a scientific mission, which benefits the scientific community and is positively an inspiration to the nation's population, a waste of money seems misguided to me.

> Why do they even need gears?

electric motors don't actually have flat torque curves. they make peak torque at zero rpm and then gradually decrease. the curve is much smoother than an ICE, but it's still possible to increase the performance of the engine by keeping it in an optimal rpm range provided you don't add too much weight and/or power loss through the transmission.

I'd love to know what makes this theorem so useful, but I doubt I will understand much considering this is in an area of math I know almost nothing about.

I imagine it must be very hard to explain the theorem while making it accessible and interesting to the general public.

sounds like you're the target audience for tesla. nothing wrong with that, but everyone has their own taste. for the money, I'd much rather have the new GT4, but that's neither here nor there.
Maybe I’m overly annoyable right now but I was unable to find, in the first 20 or so paragraphs of fluff, a statement of what the theorem actually is, and barely a hint of even what field it’s in. Is there a better write up anywhere that actually talks about the math rather than trying to spin it into a soap opera?

Edit: found an explanatory paper on the theorem that appears more technical but still accessible with the right background: https://arxiv.org/abs/1502.05654
Currently there is no reason to put transmissions into EV's. More money should be put into the improvement of electric motors and battery tech. People care about range and reliability. While acceleration is awesome, Tesla can already achieve sub 2.5s 0-60 which is more than most anyone can handle. Adding a transmission to an EV just adds one more thing to fail and replace fluid every few years.

What information is the graph actually showing? That number X increased, sure, but not in any way by how much.

True, but they fly up where the wind is a lot stronger. Plus being much smaller means they might be cranked out in large numbers by a factory, which would make them relatively inexpensive, and also they don't have the major shipping problems that onshore turbines have.
From road and track: """At launch, Porsche will offer two versions of the Taycan—the Turbo and Turbo S. The Turbo will carry an MSRP of $153,510 at launch, while the Turbo S will cost $187,610. Both of those numbers are minus destination charge."""

I suppose that leaves room for a non-turbo (lol) Taycan closer to your prices sometime in the future.

Thanks for the link. I started using this method in the last few days because of it.
If you like to spend time outdoors, definitely yes. It's mostly prose, but it is broken up into easily digestible chunks, so it's great to browse if you have a few minutes on transit here and there, or for a toilet book. A lot of the clues and signs are based around situations in the UK (prevailing winds, northern hemisphere, moss/tree types, etc), but with a little bit of work you can convert similar concepts to your locale. Which might be a good thing, because there is really more information than is possible to absorb from just straight up reading it - you need to get out in the field and practice it.

Besides for just gleaning more information about the environment, I've actually used knowledge learned from this book explicitly twice in the ~2 years I've had it - once to save my bacon, and once to randomly impress my girlfriend. I was hiking near my house in the Rockies with my girlfriend, and using the exact clues this article is talking about(and talked about in the book), I offhandedly remarked that I thought there might be another hiker coming towards us over a hill. She didn't think it was likely since we never encounter people on that trail, but 5 minutes later we crested the hill and there was someone just coming up the other side. The other time it came in handy was when I basically did something stupid(separated from a more experienced group in unknown terrain near sundown to help somebody else), and I was able to navigate us back at night using 4 or 5 different clues I recalled from the book.

Note though I haven't done any kind of comparative analysis of other similar books. I do like this one though.

Show HN: Travel Destination Search Engine
Myself and 2 friends wanted to help people make smarter decisions on big purchases. This is our story of committing the cardinal sin of startups.. creating a consumer travel product.

The Product: https://www.getcluey.com/en/explorer/

Once described it as a load balancer for tourists.

It's still a work in progress, the data is not perfect, and it's more of a tool than a product at the moment. But we want to share the concept and trade ideas.

Similar tools have existed in the past but not to this level of detail. The ones we came across in our research were generally vague and seemed to always suggest the same places.

We're new to travel. It's going to be a battle, but we're passionate about the problem we are trying to solve. Travel can be indulgent, but there are a lot of important benefits too. Injecting money into small, local economies. Meeting new people, seeing new cultures - breaking out of the bubbles we can fall into day to day.

Cluey's goal is to allow people to quickly search and compare travel destinations. Looking for places for a balmy beach holiday in October within 7 hours flight of you? Hard but doable. Try to overlay that with popularity, cost, rainfall, safety, activities, language? Hope you have a degree in data science.

Some user feedback we've received:
- I thought Armenia was dangerous and war torn, it's not? It looks beautiful.
- I was going to fly to the Bahamas but its probably because it's so prominent on American media. I couldn't figure out where in the pacific it's warm without tropical drizzle. Actually there's heaps, a lot cheaper, and a shorter flight.

It's not really going to help you already know exactly where you want to go and do there. It's useful if you have limitations or specific needs. Eg a popular one seems to be young families who only want to fly X hours with their children and would like to see what the options are.
Punching Water So Hard Light Comes Out [video]
That is an exceedingly cynical way of looking at it. People usually volunteer to do this kind of thing and have no small amount of personal pride that they are able to help their neighbors in a disaster. It is a very positive experience for the people that do it, and they are often some of the first people on the ground. This is a manifestation of the self-reliance bias of American culture, they want to fix things themselves when disasters happen.

Disaster response in the US is completely driven by these kinds of community-oriented actions by private individuals and companies, and it has a long history of being highly effective.
Are saying that Porsche--which is spending billions of dollars on the Taycan and its transmission--is doing this for no good reason?

"People care about range and reliability."--Certainly some, perhaps most people, do. And Tesla serves that market very well.

But that isn't Porsche's market. Porsche's target market cares a lot about handling, and performance in track-like conditions.

not exactly software engineering, but back when I worked at HostGator as a tech support rep, there was a tongue-in-cheek thing that went around that the best agent was the one who could use Google most effectively. I think that that general concept is accurate for most technical roles in general; sure, you should know what it is you're doing, but the internet acts as a memory aid device and augments our ability to store knowledge to a great degree, so being able to effectively use it obviously contributes to being a more effective employee

0dium's actual prices are likely a publicity stunt, but it says quite clearly, citing several different, independent sources, that attacks against a fully patched Android system are now worth more than the equivalent attack against a fully patched iOS machine. That is in part because Android has hardened up recently, Safari and iMessage in particular are highly vulnerable, and also because there was more money recently in iOS and so there was more attention on it.

To a certain extent, of course, attacks against Android outside of flagship Samsung and Google phones are much cheaper- look at any patchset and attack, and given that 30+% of the Android user base is on Nougat/Oreo and 10% is on Kitkat or earlier as a whole they are far more exposed.
