Does anyone know if this discovery can be used to boost the efficiency of solar panels? Don't solar panels get incredibly hot?
I am Japanese and know a little about this incident.
Mr. Ghosn was arrested by an organization that specializes in investigating corruption and financial crime. They are under strong political pressure and will be shut down if Mr. Ghosn is acquitted. This means that Japanese corruption and financial crime will increase. So they will use whatever means they can to convict Mr. Ghosn.
This is the best comment I have seen on HN in a long time. I agree with everything you said, but that isn't the reason this is the best comment. I appreciate that someone else knows what things last and what is just short lived dopamine highs. (news drama, politic drama, etc)

Not so. Earlier generations came with higher, often doubled clock speeds. Many programmers today have never seen such a doubling, yet policies still assume them.
I think a lot of programmers still don't realize that this idiom comes from doing micro optimizations early.

Software does need to be architected for performance up front. If you aren't able to work on data with a lot of locality or have latency between fundamental operations, you won't get fast software until you address these issues.

If you are really starting from scratch you will barely understand the problem, but once you do, you can make sure your architecture will align with what you are doing. After that, optimization becomes much lower hanging fruit.

Nope, nope and nope. This fad is as tone-deaf as Howard Schultz running for POTUS. Unikernels are TERRIBLE for operations. How do you have privilege separation? Separation of concerns? Processes? Users? Groups? Talk to a database or LDAP? Have a reliable filesystem? Drivers for hardware? Updates? Security audits?

They’re the “emperor’s new clothes” but they throw away ALL the generality, security, lessons and existing infrastructure by reinventing the wheel, badly. They were a fad years ago but failed for these and many reasons.

My flossing tip is Gum's Butlerweave dental floss. My dentist recommended it to be about 7 years ago. I had been flossing twice a day for years with OK results using some dental floss on a stick thing, but I still got a talking to by the dentist because my gums we're not in great shaoe. He pulled out some Butlerweave and showed how to floss for real, and now my dentist appointments are quite boring.
Being able to admit to yourself that you made a mistake, that it was an accident, and that you will not hate yourself, that's important.

Being able to say to others, "oh, sorry, my mistake, I assumed something incorrectly." Or "I admit I wasn't paying enough attention to what you were saying, I'll put my phone/game/video down and listen better now, please continue." Those are really powerful: you're admitting that you aren't perfect, and that the people you are with are OK with that, and that everyone is comfortable with admitting mistakes to help each other grow.

Better to start at home and be able to help your romantic relationship. Then you can work on making your workplace the kind of environment where people help each other rather than shoot each other down.
I am reminded of the video game company Valve. Famously without official hierarchies... but not according to former employees.

The difference is with formal hierarchies there is also formal authority and responsibilities. A lack of explicit expectations means that informal the leadership can shirk responsibility or invent authority.

And that's a software company; a military org that's ordering people into dangerous situations is going to have a much harder time without explicit authority; POUM in the Spanish Civil War comes to mind.

Whether or not he is guilty of any wrongdoings, I think what many people have picked up is what seems to be 'special treatment' he received from the Japanese authorities.

It seems very rare, if not unheard of, in Japan for a CEO to be arrested and thrown to prison the way he was.

For example the 3 former execs of Tepco who have been charged with criminal negligence in relation with the Fukushima disaster have never been arrested. I don't think that execs at Kobe Steel who knew about falsified data regarding defective airbags were arrested. Etc.

On the other hand, Olympus CEO, first foreign CEO, was fired for blowing the whistle on accounting fraud within the company...

> My thinking was why require an intermediate processing step of the moc, if the core c++ is capable enough.

Sadly it is not. C++ does not provide reflection - not without macros duplicating all your function names. GTK+ does not provide reflection. For instance with Qt you can just define a C++ object and directly access its properties & methods from Javascript, which is extremely useful if you want to add a scripting layer to an existing software.

You can also iterate over all the properties of an object to create UIs automatically.

Of course it's more nuanced than that, but imagine you are a Marine on the beach. Do you care about the nuance, or do you care about seeing the ships leave with your supplies.

When I read history, I try to imagine it with at least 3 points of view - the individual soldier, the commander, and the whole conflict.

It is possible to take someone's lived experience seriously while still realizing that they don't have all the answers and they have biases.

We are largely the stories we tell ourselves. One of the stories that Marines tell is that they hold fast where others retreat. Semper Fidelis. I can hold a nuanced view and still understand their viewpoint.

(I am not a Marine, but I did just read Lewis (Chesty) B Puller's biography)
Clock speeds have nothing to do with Moore's law, which was about transistor density. I'm not sure how you can say that a doubling in density hasn't happened when there are "7nm" 64 core CPUs out there. Transistor density has slowed but not stopped. Moore also predicted an exponential increase in price for density improvements which has also seemed to happen.

> I keep seeing Vim thrown up and down like it's the holy grail.

It's not. People tend to be religious about their choices, you can achieve the same result in any editor. Also most likely the bottleneck in your productivity is not the speed at which you manipulate text.

Anyway I will highlight few things that I consider great about vim.

1. It's more about consistency. (vim shortcuts are used in a lot of other places, ex: linux commands like `less`, `screen` etc.., tmux or other pane manager, etc..) When you learn linux you start to get a feeling about it, at some point you enter a command you somehow magically know the shortcuts to navigate/close/search inside there, Vim feels like a complementary thing to the whole linux environment knowledge.

2. It is everywhere! You need 0 time to prepare your work environment if you switch your job/workstation, and you also don't need to exit the remote machine/datacenter to write your stuff. You basically ssh into the machine[s]/datacenter and there you go, at the end of you day you just detach from the session, go home, and next day attach back and continue, all the commands, fancy log searches, processes monitoring, everything is there still running and waiting for you.

P.S. I also use VS Code sometimes especially for pet projects.
You say it's more than just typing but then you go on to describe a bunch of stuff that's essentially just typing.

I think just about any modern programmer's editor can do all the things you describe. I work most of the day in Visual Studio and I know it can do all that.

For programming I think vim is handicapped somewhat because it doesn't "understand" what it's working on.
Are there any like X-ray/etc. images of microplastics actually accumulating in peoples' bodies? I know that plastics are a huge problem, and there's been a lot of talk about microplastics in the past couple years, but I haven't seen any definitive proof of it being a problem in our bodies.

I employed a fair bit of hyperbole in my previous comment, so take it with a grain of salt.

Japan and France, where Ghosn was CEO of 2 companies, have strict compensation caps for executives. In the USA there is no such thing. The cultural perception of making a lot of money is different in Japan and France vs USA.

> Also the Japanese were possibly reluctant to see a big Japanese company (Nissan) subsumed into a large international behemoth (Ghosn was trying to formally merge Renault and Nissan at the time of his arrest).

This is the most likely explanation given Japan’s history of xenophobia and that Nissan is a very high profile, iconic Japanese company

If you throw away the rules, the rules stop applying to everyone, not just the revolutionaries.

The rule of law is not a tool of oppression; it's a check on the people with power and guns.

The revolutionaries do not have the power. So throwing away the legal system is far, far more likely to just lead to an unchecked re-entrenchment of whoever is in charge, not a new system.

If things are truly, truly catastrophic, maybe that's a risk you're willing to take. But since the average American is not, in fact, dying in the streets, most really want to continue living their lives in relative prosperity and relative freedom.

The way this has all unfolded is very interesting.

From the beginning, Ghosn has employed a team of publicists to manage his image during the arrest and trial. Their primary focuses have been on highlighting the injustices of the legal system in Japan and on portraying an apparent conspiracy against Ghosn perpetuated by Nissan and the Japanese government. It's not hard to see how successful they've been in getting support for Ghosn.

Meanwhile, this strategy has successfully shifted focus away from the charges themselves - charges that include Ghosn secretly shifting $5 million from Nissan to companies his wife and son own in Lebanon.

One point that is interesting in hindsight is that Ghosn decried the injustice of not receiving bail in January, when prosecutors successfully argued that he was a flight risk. He received it in March with heavy restrictions.

In hindsight, the strategy of managing his image, promoting a conspiracy, and denouncing injustice, all while diverting attention away from the charges, seems built with the intended outcome of him fleeing the country. Of course, it probably wasn't planned that way, but it's certainly better to flee and rebuild your life when international public opinion is in support of you rather than against.

In any event, the likely outcome now is that we will never find out the truth behind the four charges against Ghosn.

I'm mixed about this. I feel like this critic is true for any book. Books are not research papers.
The more you engage with the content the more benefits you will get, the knowledge will stay longer.

By engaging I mean doing exercises, implementing algorithms in code, writing pet projects.

This will ensure you understand a topic, not have an impression that you understand. In past, I made a mistake to rush read textbooks till the point I feel I understood the content and ignoring most of the exercises - the exam showed me that I was wrong :)

At the same time, I would not suggest to apply engage mode for every book and chapter - your progress will be slow, and you may lose motivation deep in the middle of some thick textbook, as you may not be able to relate very detailed information there to your current expertise.

Personally, I apply the combination of skimming and engagement.
As density goes up, the need for specific infrastructure goes up, but you don't have to get as intense about it as the Netherlands does to create an environment that's safe and pleasant for cyclists and pedestrians.

Montréal, for example, is about as dense as any other large North American city (which is to say, not very), but still does a great job without, from what I can tell, any serious expenditure of resources on physical infrastructure. There are a few physically separated bike lanes, but mostly the city just focuses on calming down the traffic: More one-way streets, left turns permitted at fewer intersections, and a ban on turning right at a red light go a long way toward making the city's streets more pleasant for everyone.

I even find it's more pleasant to drive there than it is in my city.

Word to the wise: if you are tempted to code a red-black tree, it probably means you are using the wrong language.

In a more capable language, that code has already been written and put in a library, and been very thoroughly tested and optimized already, and is faster than you could afford to do just now. Less capable languages can't express such a library in usable form, or call into one.

It is not an accident that Linux and BSD kernels have numerous hand-specialized red-black trees in them, now languishing for the attention that is needed to modernize them to perform reasonably on current hardware.
> but there's no way to do so for "groups";

That is intentional. Facebook had facebook pages, where users could subscribe (like) to be your audience. Then pages became too popular and theyrealized that they were losing potential advertising so they cut down that channel - now you have to pay to reach the subscriber base that you created yourself. They don't want to end up in a similar situation with groups so they are limiting group engagement. FB wants moar money

The authoritarians in this nation don't have logic or the facts on their side. They make up for it with endless repetition. Every punishment for subjects, no matter how obviously extreme, must be supported. Every crime committed by the police, no matter the horrific circumstances, must be defended. Every authoritarian abuse of power must be good. If it's confusing to you, overseas, imagine living here and being subject to this noise constantly.

There was this study a while ago about how readers stuck to the bubbles they knew. So conservative readers read Drudge Report, and Liberals read Huffington Post.

Bash-My-AWS is a simple but extremely powerful set of CLI commands for managing resources on Amazon Web Services. They harness the power of Amazon's AWSCLI, while abstracting away the verbosity. The project implements some innovative patterns but (arguably) remains simple, beautiful, readable and easily extensible.
