> I'd really like to know what 2 is as there's a lot of other options in this space that are also free, open source, and seem to accomplish the same thing. What is the Gatsby sauce?

I just browsed around their site wondering the same thing, the conclusion I reached was that their main value proposition is the integrations they provide together with the automation and deployment pipeline as a service. But I must also say it is pretty unclear what you are actually buying with the $50/mo subscription; what do you get compared to just running the software on your laptop?
Rethinking Universities
At the risk of misrepresenting chinese efforts, my point was a bigger scientific instrument might just be willy waving. Blowing resources doesn't necessarily get results.

If someone claims a new supercomputer place, the first thing to ask is whether they're getting real performance out of it.

(I'll repeat that this a question, and not an assertion that china's making a mistake)
The entertainment system improvements are amusing. I installed an Android-based radio in my 19 year old ICE car for less than $300 and have all of these features.

For internet, you have to be in Wifi range, add a SIM card to the radio, or tether from your phone. (I tether or use the house Wifi).

It's fun to add a bluetooth OBD2 dongle, so I can watch vacuum/boost on the screen with the Torque app (or diagnose car problems, it is an old car..).

That's funny, I didn't realize Android Auto wouldn't work in a Tesla, and now I am very hesitant to buy one. It works perfectly on my wife's car, I can use whatever apps I want (eg. PocketCasts, Spotify, Plex) and the integration with the other aspects of the car is seamless. Teslas are just now getting Spotify?!?! That's exactly the sort of thing I would expect with an in-house system, and exactly why I would want to avoid it. What about navigation? Are you beholden to whatever Tesla provides, or can you use Waze and Google Maps if you want?

I guess I would end up using my phone over Bluetooth, negating much of the benefit the large touchscreen in the Tesla provides, ending up fiddling with my phone to change songs etc.

People are going to point out the privacy issues inherent in using Android, and I understand the complaint, but Google already knows my speed and location at all times anyway just by virtue of having my phone on me. I don't think Android Auto would have any interaction with the cameras or sensors, since most other cars do not have them, but perhaps others can speak to this.

Regardless, this has really diminished my interest in getting a Tesla.
> I don’t believe we ever lost a candidate due to them not being willing to take our test. The strongest candidates take their job search seriously and are willing to devote a fair amount of time to landing the right job.

This is the part that didn't ring true, at least for me. I believe that there are some candidates would not complain. But if I am good engineer, odds are that I already have a job that works well for me. Maybe not the perfect job, but working well enough that you'll have to give more incentive than just a job being available before I'd spend a day on a take-home, unpaid project. So according to the quote above, I'm not the strongest candidate because I'm not willing to devote a fair amount of time to landing the right job.

Maybe from the hiring manager's point of view, that is even true. But I've already landed the right job. I work there, every day. If you want to poach folk like me from a job that is already right, 6 hour take-home tests aren't the answer. Give us something quicker. Maybe not easier... I believe a challenging interview process is fair. But quicker.
That was the high bandwidth page for those with an OK connection! The Beeb used to have a low bandwidth text only version of every page, but those weren't preserved - the text link will now bring you back to that page again.

Let's see, 2000. Most would be on dial-up, ADSL was either in very early roll out or pre-roll out hype - so nearly everyone waiting on exchanges to be converted. Techies probably had BT Highway, a dual 64k ISDN link. That always seemed really fast, and way faster than many of today's bloatware sites now feel. Insane page and JS weight with dozens of third party calls every page came later. Early broadband, before pages grew to over-compensate for that bandwidth was delightful!

Downloads and Dial up could feel sluggish, especially when you hit the sites being "clever and disruptive" with Macromedia Flash (not many yet), or a site that didn't know how to do thumbnails or image optimisation (quite a few. Usually pages with little 10x10 icons that were really 1024x768 images etc). :)
I think most people struggle with holding themselves accountable.

You are fortunate if you are an outlier in that regard.

Which just may have to do with the total lack of soundproofing at WeWork, poor HVAC, and lack of per office thermostats...imagine if the technology existed to solve those problems...
This makes sense to keep in mind. It seems like there's a danger that some personalities will pursue a goal single-mindedly if there are absolutely no critical obstacles in their way. Not to beat a dead horse, but the Fyre Fest incident comes to mind. If the leads on that project had encountered more "No" would they have stopped, or at least scaled back, to something more achievable? This presumes positive intent in that case, though, which I'm not too sure of there.
I wonder who the market for Gatsby is.

I considered signing up for them for a somewhat simple markdown-powered blog, but ultimately ended up writing my own solution because I couldn’t justify the cost. The documentation for the self-hosted solution seems designed to put you off doing it yourself.
Your so-called "middle class" is merely a subgroup of the working class. Trying to differentiate between an upper working class and lower working class is simply snobbery.
Often knowing that a problem has a solution is a big help. My understanding is that most expressions can't be integrated in closed form. Had the system been trained on the full set of problems, would it then learn the most likely answer is "no answer" and report this every time? When mathematica attacks a problem, it must presumably have to first address that issue in some sense. Is this an unfair advantage here?
Can you explain why you like Objective-C?

I've never used it, but have seen many code snippets in API documentations, and it just looks so...unnecessarily obfuscated and verbose, and with a syntax so wholly unique to Obj-C that my brain can't make sense of it like I would looking at, say, Java code from a C++ background.

> Wow so there were people on the We payroll that were being paid by We Co. to work on private deal's that only benefitted Adam and not We Co? The level of of greed and hubris involved in the We story is really incredible.

Poke a little more at your own employer and you'll likely find just as much shenanigans.
Yeah, that one wasn't very good either. That one at least contained a modicum of science, and wasn't just about some person's experience completely unrelated to tech or business.

This one is literally blog spam.

Maybe we should just start having stuff reach the front that's about the new McFlurry flavors that come out at McDonalds.
All this really needs is a better guidance system. I'm surprised there isn't a startup for using artillery launched drones to deliver packages yet. Drop a package anywhere within a 20 mile radius of the warehouse within 2 minutes.
Thanks for adding info on this. Everyone I've talked to who has worked at Wal-Mart HQ has talked about how cost-conscious the entire company is. I would be really surprised if things like private jets there weren't part of a strong cost-benefit analysis.
I can second this. I've used both CarPlay and Android Auto in my Golf R, and compared to a few rentals I've driven recently its amazing how much better VW is at this.

Beyond just the normal controls (which can sometimes be hit or miss once you're in CarPlay/AndroidAuto mode) the extra little functionalities you notice are amazing. A good example is when using Google Maps I can zoom in/out by just pinching the touchscreen in the car, or I can use the physical dial (normally for changing radio stations) to control the zoom level, or scroll through selections. If you change contexts, what the physical dial control change along with them, and its really slick once you get used to it.
Defiance. Often a negative trait, sometimes a motivator. Learn to control and harness it.
Not true. Depending on the state, many laws still apply, including:

- Accessible Parking

- Unlicensed driving (for example, shared private spaces such as parking lots)

- Drunk driving

A Lloyds Business Banking Experience
Trying to remove myself as a signatory on a business account:

1 - I go into a branch, they try to do it but their IT systems fail. I talk to a manager who tells me that I need to do it online anyway and they cant do it in branch (this is after a good hour of the person on the front desk trying anyway)

2 - I login to online banking to fill out their online form (which requires that I fill out details about the business even though im logged in)

3 - They email me a PDF which I have to print out and sign myself (along with one other person, which is hard as that person doesn't live in the same country as me) and then MAIL BACK TO THEM!?

What on earth is going on? Anyone who works for a bank care to share their thoughts on this?
Ask HN: What can I do for my family living away on a natural disaster?
Istanbul has been experiencing multiple strong earthquakes since yesterday and the fault line is the main fault line that was expected to get activated for years already. I live in Europe, in a country that has no danger of earthquakes or anything, but my whole family still lives in Istanbul. Today, there was an earthquake of 6.0 on Richter magnitude scale (RMS), and all the mobile line providers were down because of the traffic, including internet connection as well, and this was a case where the earthquake was much smaller than the big one expected. This whole thing got me thinking, and the more I thought the more depressive I got because of our helplessness against nature.

What can I do to communicate with my family in an extreme case like this? What are the precautions we can take in order to account for these cases? I don't think the phone line will ever work between them or for cross-border calls, I doubt that WhatsApp or internet, in general, will work under that load as well, let alone the fact that internet infrastructure itself might get damaged, and at this point I am out of options for hearing from them.

My questions are:
- What can we do as a family to ensure the highest possibility of having communication in a case like this?
- What can I do as an individual with tech skills to make even some tiny thing better in the case of a natural disaster?
- What/how should I educate my family for cases like this?

This is a topic where I guess human mind tends to ignore thinking as a self-protection mechanism when you are in the endangered area since it leads to a rabbit hole where all you can think of is the catastrophic scenarios that don't lead to any solutions and it seems like there is nothing you as an individual can do to make things better. I am in a similar mindset since I am out of the danger zone but my family is in it, so any kind of input here is appreciated.
Or (as in this case): the prestige of flying in on a private jet outweighs the fiscal responsibility concerns of anyone in a position to say "no." Same thing with the Maybach.
And the average investor in WeWork is a Michael Scott type that thinks he has the next big thing lined up.
I think that this is extension of semantic play that such leaks lead to "identity theft". Even if you took due diligence to protect your credit card and SSN or other personal info after the fact you are being played as "victim of identity theft". No it is not identity theft that someone used yours info to take fast loan or buy bitcoin with your credict card that incompetent business lost and now you are SOL with ruined life/credit score - it is bank fraud and banks should stop making it look like it is not their problem/fault.

It even is stamped on CC that it is property of the issuing bank. So you made it such way that skimmer can copy your card at gas station and empty someones account in few minutes but you are not part of the problem at all? Then what is the point of of plastic other that milking fees?

I've been vending myself unique email addresses for every online account I use for about 3 years. They are nice because I can reply to them like a regular mail and my actual email account gets stripped out automagically.

I've been considering making it a product and I wonder in this case what people would want to do when the account data gets leaked?

1. blackhole all email to the address.
2. forward all email to some email service that is never/rarely used.
3. flag messages that are not sent from the matching domain (doordash.com in this case).
4. blackhole and generate a new address so the user can go back to door dash and provide a fresh email address.

I also wonder if there is any use for meta data on who's trying to email a blackholed email addrress e.g spam blacklisting.
If you are impatient, tapes are not for you.
Heyyy, I don't fart that much. Maybe 1/3rd ... at most ...
Nope! Because the Office of Legal Counsel made a good faith effort when they (incorrectly) opined torture was legal, none of the torturers will be held liable. After all, the government told them it was legal. It doesn't matter that the OLC later decided that torture is in fact illegal. The "torture memos" article on Wikipedia has more details. tl;dr blame John Yoo
Why even bother with changing the price
That's contextual. Maybe some combination of:

- abort and unwind the current action

- retry something

- log something

- abort the app explicitly

- fallback to a different value

- comment why this is a known-possible failure state

- present a message to the user

...

Decoupling Logic with Domain Events [Guide] – DDD with TypeScript
Cool => I'll then probably reformat on my root server the partition hosting the images of my VMs from EXT4 to XFS => then to make 100% backups from time to time I would just have to shut them down for a minute, do a "cp --reflink" of their image-file on the host/dom0, then I could start them up again and do anytime later the slow download of their "copied" file.

Any recommendations about a utility (working on a layer higher than the filesystem) that can synchronize only the chunks of a specific file that has changed since the last sync and which generates as final result a "normal" file (no behind-the-curtains database - just copy the identical data from the local/old file and the changes/new data from the remote location to get a normal up-to-date local file)?

On paper, Swift is my perfect language. It's like a slightly higher level rust.

For a while I was enamored of Haskell and its famed "if it compiles it works" saying, but I think I've realized that the features that contribute to that are: non-nullability and algebraic data types. Turns out I don't particularly like the extreme functional nature or (especially) the lazy aspect of it.

Rust is almost there, but then I'm dealing with lifetimes and working a little lower than I usually need. But I found I _love_ its exhaustiveness checking for enum variants.

The ML family is pretty much in my sweet spot, for some reason it doesn't really get the love that it seems it deserves, and last I heard Ocaml had an issue with being single threaded.

So that leaves Swift, with its non-nullability, algebraic data types, and exhaustive enum pattern matching. The only downside is its focus on Macs! I'm holding my breath, waiting for it to run just as smoothly on linux, and developing some developer cultural cachet and libraries for servers. I hope it does! I'm glad to see in this article that it's being used more and more at Apple.

And with SwiftUI, which looks pretty promising, I have to imagine it will only continue to grow in popularity.
Actually, it's more like someone else booked a hotel room as OP. Since they were there in person, the hotel gave them the room key, and they are in that room taking a shower (updated the phone number in this case).
The OP goes in and asks for a room, presents his/her email, and since it matched receives the key to the _same room_. OP then walks into the other guy's room while they are in it. At least that's my understanding of it.

Recreating Top in Go
I don’t know why this comment is getting downvoted. While I generally love Tesla, I recently had a wheel alignment issue that literally no other car repair shop could handle except for Tesla’s and I had to wait almost a month for an appointment while my tires continued to unevenly wear.

They are apparently currently in the “support hell” phase of growth... They’ll get past it
I save force unwraps for things that will be caught at develop/testing time, like app images that are supposed to be in the binary or controls that are supposed to be wired up in Interface Builder. Otherwise, for me, using a force unwrap is a code smell.

I remember chatting with people in the Bay Area about this idea a few years ago. I decided not to pursue it because I don’t favor adversarial business models, but I’m very curious to see if this person can pull it off.

Their best chance of survival, IMO, is building a developer collaboration platform that Apple finds worthy of purchase and maybe will integrate into XCode - something along the lines of Github but exclusive to the Apple platform with lots of integrations they can rely on for workflows and such. I think I’ve read that Apple isn’t big on services, but if this were developed in a peer-to-peer sort of way, piggybacking on iCloud as much as possible, maybe they’d want it.
From a very rough check, there are on the order of a couple thousand binaries in iOS.
To my understanding when you run tensorflow it builds the computational graph in representation that can be processed either on CPU or GPU, so for example it seems that here you would need "compiler" that takes the graph and runs it on the device.. similar to Edge TPU. So essentially you would install drivers and then communicate through standard interface..

But I might be wrong...
Your first link was for a NEMA 14-50 adapter and Wall charger order on the Tesla online shop and is not a car part? Which supports what I said regarding lackluster customer service. I'm not disputing that.

The last 4 examples are ALL collisions/accidents that involves many parts and a ton of body/structural work... OPs claim was "1 month+ for basic replacement parts to arrive"
All the other comments are focusing on the Apple angle, but I want to comment on how amazing the developer, Riley, is.

I've seen him working on this project (Delta and the AltStore) for four or five years. It's a project he's passionate about, and he's building it for himself, not to try and make money. (In fact, he's turned down offers from startups and top tech companies to work on this). More than almost anyone else I know, Riley embodies the classical hacker ethos. I believe partway through the project he decided to make this open source, so he then went back and re-factored a lot of the code to make it easier to learn from.

Here's the repository, btw: https://github.com/rileytestut/AltStore
I'm generally content with my position in life, but I'm not content with where most people are.
I hear this, but is this a differentiator when compared to the other static site generators?

I was under the impression that Gatsby was just another interchangeable part of the so-called JAMstack...? Could you not get those wins using Pelican, or Hugo, or whatever?
I strongly prefer to camp in the NF right outside the park or in the park itself, so that rules out the RV campgrounds. I think the L2 stuff you're seeing is in the Seattle metro, there's nothing near Rainier. I'm coming from Portland, so it'd be way out of my way to go to Seattle.
