So then, at this point, there's nothing he can do to win you over that you can't come up with some conspiracy theory with an ulterior motive where he's bent on world domination?

Let me ask a more clarifying question, then, I guess? What could he do where you wouldn't think he was up to no good?
Most modern luxury cars have wireless diagnostics don't they? I believe BMW does at least. Should we shy away from them?
Maybe, but there's no reason for it to send any audio anywhere while it's parsing ultrasound, so not a privacy problem.

Related, I had an interesting experience with an older 4k monitor and ultrahd bluray.

I had a dell UP3214Q monitor, and I got the bright idea to get a bluray player. The model I bought happened to support 4k ultrahd, so I hooked it up.

It looked pretty good... except ... wait, it was downscaling ultrahd to 1080p over HDMI.

So I tried making sure I had the right HDMI cables. Still 1080p.

Long story short -- nobody will tell you this straight out -- ultrahd bluray players require hdcp 2.2. strangely 1080p non-ultrahd disks upscaled to 4k.

hollywood sucks.

I tried a U3219Q (HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2) and everything worked. (except the monitor is not as high quality with a little less viewing angle and some LED bleed at the lower edges)
Anecdote is not data and data is not annecdote. But you have one experience and I have the opposite:

I am 100% pro tech, showing the kids how to use smartphones constructively, etx. We were controlling what our kids watch to avoid in particular all the modern crap pumper onto YouTube or various American TV channels - and yet our four year old developed serious attention issues.

It's not gone but it's MUCH better since the TV is banned to only be on on Friday evenings. Choose your own path forward but I am happy I managed to help my son be a more balanced person, rather than park him in front of the TV just to have my own 'quiet time'. We read more, the parents themselves drop their phones more often - all in all family life is much happier. I just wish my wife would accept to get fully rid of the thing. Spending time with kids is enjoyable, especially when they are not unbearably begging for TV TV TV or can't focus on a thing longer than 20 seconds.

That said - not sure what you're going on about breastfeeding but the evidence that it's good for kids is pretty overwhelming. You shouldn't feel guilty if it doesn't work out for one reason or the other, but breastfeeding is a positive for the child.
> It’s a far cry from the trivial “just plug anything into anything with any cable and it’ll work” that we were promised.

It pretty much works exactly like that except for very edge cases near end of protocol capability. Things like 100W power supply and 4k/60Hz.

(Also I don't know who exactly promised you that any cable will work for high performance protocols.)

I'm more familiar with AWS. There I just firewall SSH to just my IP (with a script to change it for the laptop case, or use mosh), and thus spend no CPU time responding to ssh bots.

Do VPS providers offer some sort of similar firewall service outside your instance?

Given that this is fraud prevention, the correct error function should be measured in dollars. The thing you want to minimise is money lost.

Is the cost of allowing a fraudulent transaction through much greater than the cost of blocking a non-fraudulent transaction? Then the error function should reflect that. Minimising F1/accuracy/log-loss is not necessarily going to save the most money.
Because they don't give tools to law enforcement agencies to enforce their local laws. As a platform, it would be within their power and their right to do so. I think that is preferable to them doing the enforcing themselves.
I will note that it doesn’t actually take all that much reverse engineering experience to be able to recognize most algorithms if you how they work “in code”.

One thing that complicates matters somewhat (as if they were not already complicated) is at the decision point marked isRoundtrip? in the fourth (penultimate) diagram, where the affirmative case is handled within the new system.

Given, however, what is being posited -- a legacy system that is not modular and which contains unrefactorable pathological dependencies -- the old system must also handle this case in parallel, in order to be in the correct state to handle future requests of a type that still need to be delegated to the old system.

This parallel implementation may have to persist well into the replacement process, and the requirement for it to do so may mean that you still have to do double implementation of features and fixes for most of the transition.

> And yet, Tesla costumers constantly poll as the most satisfied of all new car owners.

I wonder what the demographics are exactly of people who buy Model 3's, is it their first $40k+ vehicle?

One thing is abundantly clear, the people who are super excited about "new" tech in Teslas aren't following motor news. People seem to have no clue whatsoever that a lot of the tech you can get in a Tesla exists in other cars as well. Tesla is definitely at the top of the pack, but they're not ahead of the pack.

It looks exactly like when Apple announce a "new" feature, and all the Android owners moan and bitch that their phones have had this feature for years, yet all the apple owners are super happy about their new iPhone with this new cool feature that they've never seen before.

They "shouldn't" be happy, but due to marketing warping people's perceptions, they are. I suspect something like that might apply to Teslas and the people who buy them. If you've never owned or driven a BMW 3-series or similar, and then switched to a Tesla Model 3, I perfectly understand why you think your Tesla is the best car you've ever had.

Ask HN: How do I get into the habit of writing comments/docstrings?
Hello HN,
I have a real issue with always forgetting to write proper comments and docstrings in my code, especially on personal projects, and then coming back to them and thinking "what did I mean when I wrote that?"

Does anybody have any tips for getting into the habit of writing good comments?

> There's no way to put a telescope with a 30-meter-diameter primary mirror in space... it's way beyond our technical capabilities now.

I don't think it's that far off, the primary mirror for Hubble was 2.4m and the big telescopes you're talking about are made up of mirror segments around 10m in size. The Falcon 9's payload fairing is 5.2m diameter and 13m long and the proposed Starship fairing would be 9m diameter by 19m high. SpaceX is currently proving they are capable of sustaining a rapid launch cadence and have already proved they're capable of docking with the ISS. If someone built a modular space telescope, they'd be the first ones to call to get it into orbit for assembly.

Cost has been a severe bottleneck to getting science into space for so long that we seem to have become convinced that it will always be so. These Starlink launches are the first real steps in proving that it need not be so.
This is the same issue. The component in question was responsible for the URL handling, and it was also responsible for reinstalling the Zoom client app if it was not present when a link was clicked.
You seem to have preconceptions that you defend without evidence. There's no 'medical establishment' that purposefully gives bad advice. There are pieces of advice that are later found to turn out wrong, but on average you'll be better off trusting the experts. Don't trust blindly but 'did my own reaearch' is usually codeword for 'read a few mommy blogs'.
Definitely a preference thing, but how many windows do you actually have open?

At home and work I configure four virtual desktops: firefox, emacs, terminal, misc. I usually have spotify open or more rarely a file manager in misc.

I can then bounce around in an absolute way (don't need to remember alt-tab or cycle history) using <super>+{1,2,3,4}.
A machine I can actually use, portability. I have enough servers, adding nginx and certbot to one isn't hard. Adding instances and load balancing isn't either should it be warranted. The "serverless" approach is the new one and thus the one that should seek justification.

I tried LeoCAD the other day and found it a nightmarish interface. I've been trying to convince a friend who enjoys building to find a cad program to make sets in, and Leo promised export functionality. We quickly ran into issues where parts do not automatically snap together and do not move correctly (a part required 1/4 offset and only 1/3 offsets are provided).

When we exported our models to another Lego cad program, the new program tore our models apart, finding issues with almost every piece (due to them being partly inside each other or other things).

My friend is an engineer who is very used to CAD software, but struggled immensely with the features provided in the package. This pains me because I was so excited about it being Open Source.

Edit because my post sounded confrontational: I desperately would appreciate tips as to what we may have done wrong, our struggles in placing flowers on a baseplate compared to the models LeoCAD claims to have produced means we must have been messing up really bad.
Somehow to me the problem is that social networks are turning into implicit mobs, and that's surprisingly scary. The information highway became a confusion boulevard.

Heh, YouTube is such a big place!

Best way to start is watching tv news. Hosts have very clear pronuntiation, it's their job after all.

I first research what tv channels are more popular in the country, then search YouTube with that info. YouTube doesn't seem to offer a lot of search options, but it's possible to do the search from Google or DuckDuckGo and later select "videos" tab.

DuckDuckGo has a dropdown menu that allows search localization, so the first results are the most relevant to the selected country. Once you find a handful of interesting channels, you're set up.
Googles classification algorithms are shit. They mark spam as ham, ham as spam, block good accounts and promote fraudulent ones. It's ridiculous the amount of trust we place in this company.
That seems like a good idea but it's simplify the issue way too much.

> but also allow all content,

Almost no platform survive without a bit of moderation. If you don't moderate, you'll get any kind of content, including spam, troll, etc...

Add that to the fact that you'll get people that will just push to boycott such kind of platforms, and thus you'll no longer have much possible ways to make this kind of platform exist.

> but if someone posts something illegal, they take their share of legal responsibility for publishing it.

That's also kind of impossible. The law evolved to consider that impossibility to look at every piece of content, and this is why the DMCA exist. Look at Youtube which try to filter their content much further than the law currently require, they have HUGE teams of moderators, multiple tens of thousands, with some of the best kind of neural network, working on this and yet it fail so often.

The world isn't binary, we need a bit of both.

It could be an interesting experiment though to allow legally the kind of platform you suggest. Someway to protect website owner from any legal retaliation. It would most probably look like 4chan, but still interesting.
This is true to some extent. I'm building out the infrastructure for my company, and there is a lot of effort on my part required to automate stuff.

Something like kafka requires figuring out the configuration you want, putting that into Salt, adding the correct configuration options, deploying it and making sure zookeeper works, and then generating certificates and what not. It's not a simple process.

"Bored" != "hate".

If you're getting good money, and your management is relatively sane, and you like the people you work with, think twice before you leave. I've been around enough to know that you can easily wind up in a much worse situation.
Usually the problem is that you can’t realistically change the interface, because too much other software relies on it, and having all that software rewritten would be too costly, and also risky. In addition, as a sibling mentions, the reason the old interface is a pain point is often that it exposes implementation details in a way that prevents you from rearchitecting the implementation. In that situation, adapters typically won’t help.
> C++ “move” semantics are simple, but they are still widely misunderstood.

To use a quote from one of my favorite movies: you keep using that word. it doesn't mean what you think it means!

Articles such as this one remind of how C++ is such a design-by-committee language. Watching it evolve is like watching a 100 chefs in a kitchen working on a single dish, where everyone wants the dish to taste the way they like it.

This comment is probably not directly relevant to the article, but I had to get it off my chest.

I care about whether the $10B will be spent effectively and efficiently to combat climate change, and that's it. Full stop.
The switch chip is an off the shelf Tegra X1.
Let me start by saying I have tremendous respect for the people who oversee C++'s evolution. It seems like a very difficult challenge, and I believe their intentions are pure.

But I agree completely with your point about "move" semantics. Some language rules that seem clear to Sutter et al are insanely complicated to normal C++ developers.

Most of us could probably stay on top of C++'s rules if we spent many hours per week on that task. But few of us have the time or interest to do that.
Max levchin stated he learned indirection in memory addressing because his mom was assigned to work calculator programming in the USSR before the family fled to the US in the early 90s. Amazing that a calculator had pointer features.
I opened an issue about it in the past at https://github.com/i3/i3/issues/2971 . Apparently it's not on the roadmap, but someone posted an xdotool script in the comments that you can chain with every focus switching command in your i3config thusly:

bindsym $mod+h focus left; exec --no-startup-id center-mouse

I've been using that and it fixes the issue for me, even though it seems silly that it's not built-in given there's a mouse_warping config setting.

That said, I thought i3's default behaviour was that it would only focus a window when the mouse entered it, not when the mouse was moving around within a window, so I'm surprised you're having that issue. For me I just got sick of my mouse being "way over there" in the odd situation I need it.
So, you're a libertarian right up to the point where your libertarian principles matter, and then you're just like everybody else.

>> not so smart that you’re just lost when talking to them

That, BTW, is a sure sign that someone is trying to appear smarter than they really are. Having worked at 2 research labs over the course of my career I know more than my fair share of genius-level people. Without fail, they are humble about it, and can explain complex concepts in a way the rest of us can understand. This is something that just blows my mind pretty consistently actually, and IMO it is a sign of true, deep understanding of a complex subject. The person didn't just memorize formulas (although many of them excel at that as well), they understand why things are the way they are, the real meaning behind it all.

It could be that this is selection bias though, and I only got to know geniuses who aren't also assholes.
The solution is easy: full data portability laws that "backs up" into a centralized database (could be blockchain to avoid manipulation) - and then each platform sets its own rules, and users then can utilize the platform of choice for their UI and UX - design and governance.

A few years ago, I asked my engineer friend about how much of civilization he could rebuild singlehandedly, should he survive some hypothetical apocalyptic event. “All of it,” he replied. “Not all at once, but I know enough to be able to puzzle together the pieces I don’t know right this second.”

While I admire the Connecticut-Yankee optimism of the engineer, as a non engineer I am seriously skeptical about how a single engineer could know enough about the chemistry, materials, physics, CS etc. I can explain what a battery, or transistor is supposed to do but wouldn't have the foggiest idea how to actually make one. In this scenario are we leaving the bunker to break into Bell Labs (or some research university library at least)?
