yes, this wave of delivery services haven't solved last-mile logistics in any meaningful way over previous waves. their main "innovation", popularized by uber, is outsourcing the capital investment to less sophisticated operators (while matching and real-time routing have improved, those are incremental improvements at best).

no one has cracked the core logistics problem involving time or cost, which is the real hump. i can literally order a pizza, walk to the store to pick it up, and return in less time than a delivery service can deliver, and i've saved all that overhead cost and it's warmer/fresher to boot. even moreso with groceries. granted, i'm in a city, but the gambit of delivery is that the city is the real shizzle for delivery.

until the logistics problem is solved, it makes little sense to use a delivery app for more than as an occasional novelty or treat.
Seems to resonate with me. A tablet by default is a consumption device.

While a surface is a production device. Since you can actually do something with it except sending emails.
And Git (kind of, although that happened after Linus moved away from Finland)
> One thing I really like is that the Windows version of CLion will use SSH to connect into your WSL installation and use the Linux toolchain. So you can develop both Linux and Windows applications using the CLion GUI IDE on Windows, it's quite seamless.

Tramp[1] does this for Emacs. You can run Windows GUI Emacs and use SSH or another protocol to edit files and run commands within the WSL installation. It's pretty seamless.

Show HN: ScreenToVideo – Record and edit interactive videos
Apple lost the development train a few years ago.

Windows + Linux VM has been a better platform for a long time, even before WSL!

Microsoft recognized this and wanted to boost this workflow by providing it themselves.
I like full screen on macOS because I usually get a 2 minute break to read the news while the junior programmer that I'm helping swipes furiously to find the full screen workspace that they lost. Also opening a popout Chrome devtools window on a Mac gets me a break because nobody knows what workspace it ended up in.

The reason the macOS pushes full screen by default is because their idiotic UI design takes up way too much vertical space with the useless Dock that isn't even half as useful as the Taskbar, and the awful, ever-present global top menu bar.

Honestly, I don't full screen anything on Windows or Linux unless it's a movie that I'm watching, because I don't need to.
I use command mode a lot, so have swapped ":" and ";". With that, :x + enter is 3 keystrokes, and hitting x is a bit easier than hitting z.
Local Kubernetes Development with Okteto
It's fine in C and you won't get a warning (just try int *p = malloc(sizeof(int)) with gcc -Wall).
The implication of the sentence is to ask if there is a practical advantage or only a cost advantage (or both). I think you could give the writer more credit.
Adding an extra step (rail hub to short haul truck transition, potentially at both ends of the trip) adds cost. This cost is (and will be for the foreseeable future) less than having the less efficient semi-truck do the entire trip at least for the kinds of loads that are currently carried by semi-truck. JIT inventory systems also don't play nice with rail.
Very unimpressive.
What are these? Do they support rewrite rules on programs?
I really like Inkscape, it compares favorably with Affinity Designer. My only wish is that it was written for the browser. A tool like this would actually be a great starting point for SVG web apps, IMHO. Plus interactive SVG drawing has been implemented about 3000 times, and it would be great to see some best practice libs become standard.
If Uber cannot afford this, maybe it is not a viable business. If either the restaurant has more cost than income, or Uber has more cost than income, it seems not to be working really.
China's space test hits snag with capsule 'anomaly'
Uber is pretty bloated in the engineering department, because they are suffering from NIH syndrome, and had to implement custom solutions for everything. They could certainly be much leaner in that regard.
As GDPR requires opt-in yes, that is the behavior it should have, though IMO I doubt it is implemented like that
And SSH
Well, that would be a completely different and interesting discussion, but I don't think it's really relevant to the point I'm trying to make ^^
I’m assuming very high power transmission in short period of time. Thus moderate amps and very high voltage or you’ll need thick cables.
Hello HackerNews!

We are very happy to announce that you can now use ScreenToVideo to create interactive video presentations that are compatible with all browsers.

There are multiple video actions like pause, continue, jump or go to URL. To make things even simpler, any object can become a video marker.

Give it a try and let us know what you like and dislike about it. We are starving for your feedback! :)
Perhaps it would be more appropriate for the EDPB to centrally track consent. For example: If example.com wishes to use Alice's private information in a way that is protected under GDPR, they would request consent from Alice via an EDPB-managed service. To opt-in, Alice would use the EDPB-managed service to accept the request. This way, the EDPB would have full control over how such requests are presented to a person, and would have an auditable record of all requests issued/declined/accepted.
What Netlify’s Infra Team Learned as It Increased Deploy Speed by Up to 2x
Eh, YMMV. I tried cmder/conemu for a while, and gave up after I fighting with one strange behavior after another for a few days.

IMO, the best terminal on windows is a linux terminal running in WSL displaying to a windows x server. I use terminator and vcxsrv, and have not had any of the weird vim, ssh, tmux, etc rendering problems I had with cmder.
And the reason ARM caused it to fail was that the applications people wanted didn't exist for it.
Wow, finally a like minded person!

The argument I always hear is "Ordinary people don't know about cookies so it's the websites responsibility". As if ordinary people now understand cookies.

It's all a big fiasco, supported by people who think theory works in practice.
A decent surface has always been in that price range
Yes, I believe Iran sanctions function similarly to WIPO, the US requires people to follow certain rules if they want to do business with the US.
Cookie banners have taken the internet back 20 years. Now every website has a mandatory popup. And you can’t block these new breed because they're part of the site.
I haven't tried using USB drives with the iPad, but they have been building out the Files app and there are more ways to work with external storage than before.

Loading software from outside the App Store is not going to happen, but they are, slowly but surely, expanding to support other tasks.
There could be some leeway to initiative braking on following cars quicker with control loop similar to existing emergency brake assist systems [1]. These currently apply the brakes quicker and more powerfully than a driver’s foot when the car thinks it’s in an emergency situation. The same signal could be sent to following cars by the time the driver sufficiently engages the pedal.

That's why you would only use those for long distance trips and for everything else you would own that one old pack.

Rigidity could indeed be a problem but so has been gasoline safety. There would need to be standards but there are also standards for charging plugs so, it is not like this never happened before.
Well...yeah. That's the whole point of deniable operations: when they go to hell, you can pretend they were the work of some rogue operators. Every time one of these goes sideways, the US government tries to wash its hands of the instigators. Doesn't mean we need to be credulous enough to believe them, or the media outlets they use to launder those claims. It's absolutely legitimate to look at the CIA's body of work in South America and then roll your eyes and laugh when they try whistle innocently and stroll away from an attempted coup against a left-wing South American leader involving ex-special forces.
You know, even then, gimp could have been a technical masterpiece but to me inkscape felt a lot more interesting at many levels.

That said community problems can impede quality obviously.
First, you should not be using the store. It is an also-run of an anti-feature. Just ignore it for the bloatware it is.

Second, ignore tablet mode. It's one of those things developed by underfunded teams. Just use it as what it is, a portable PC. If you configure windows to have >2px thick borders you will not miss 'tablet mode' or whatever it is. Just enable all settings on the quick side bar thingy to toggle auto-rotate and you are set.

And finally, i agree with you on the keyboard. It's sad :( pen writing recognition was supposed to be the saving grace, but it only works minimally OK for japanese and chinese. No hope for english and let alone for other latin languages. and even using with chinese text, the input UI completely kills your ability to use things you would have on a keyboard like shift, shortcuts, arrows, etc.

Microsoft has been putting a lot of resources on Git for a while, improving and contributing back to the original project.

I expect the Windows Git will keep improving if they keep this Windows+Linux trend.

I know so many people that absolutely love the MS ergo keyboard, even worked at one shop that one was given to you on your first day because everybody used them and they assumed you would want one too.

For me, they actually caused rsi issues. Took a while to narrow it down to the ergo keyboard. Which is a shame, it's one of the few MS designs that I like.
> Edit: Never mind, I guess that would violate Article 7's "It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent."

Wait--that exists? Then Oath _definitely_ is violating GDPR. Continuing without consent is basically impossible on their websites!
I have not seen this at all. In my experience hCaptcha results in the same or equal experience that reCAPTCHA had. Anecdotally my pass rate on hCaptcha is actually higher (reCAPTCHA gets suspicious more quickly and often asks to solve more than one prompt).
I am imagining a scenario where an autonomous vehicle zooms toward the car at high speed and then from underneath the car swaps out the batteries then zooms away.
>> Our active noise cancellation is adjustable through intuitive on-ear dials

My only real complaint about my Sony noise-cancelling headphones are the stupid touch controls, why would Microsoft copy those?
No, those dependencies are unrelated but both inkscaoe and gimp switched to gtk3 and python3 on a major release cycle.

Is there a setting in Firefox that allows you to whitelist specific cookies and ignore all others?

That combined with Firefox Containers would make for a very powerful combination since you could have different containers that would be your logged-in interface to a specific site, without then having to allow other sites be able to set cookies.
This is good advice, but in my case the "product owner" was too invested in seeming competent (by, e.g., over-confidently and over-emphatically making decisions that turned out to be coin-flips). Finally, there was no accountability for product ownership; other than the engineers, no one at the company was positioned, or willing, to notice/address the delays in the project that were caused by the product owner changing their mind arbitrarily.

So, while I did spend a few months documenting all these issues, the company itself had not made room for engineering-led process improvements. Noticing that, I started spending political capital on trying to fix it, which is incredibly stressful, slow, and unrewarding work. After a few months of this, I finally came to my senses and realized that, this not being my company, I would not accrue any of the benefits of improving their processes. Time to leave.

The lesson, for me, has been to avoid working at companies that are either not product-focused (in which case engineering is just a cost-centre, having extremely low status within the organization), and to avoid stubbornly non-technical founders (i.e. any founder/owner who refuses to care about their engineering department beyond asking "is it done yet?").

Maybe food delivery services isn't solvable using the Silicon Valley method -- use insane amounts of rich people's money to subsidize product hyper-growth to only later monopolize said market to re-coop earlier losses.

If these businesses would grow more sustainably (i.e. slower), they wouldn't need such large sums of money to operate. They wouldn't over hire at sales / marketing / engineering / design / operations/ literally every role. In turn, they would be forced to set rates that can cover their actual costs while being a good business deal for restaurants, as they'd have to be around long enough for the delivery company to have any real growth.

There should be economies of scale wrt. a centralized delivery platform that services all kinds of restaurants. The fact that, say, Dominos has been offering delivery for _decades_ means that it's absolutely possible to have a sustainable national food delivery business on $8 medium pizza deals and $4 delivery charges. The tech delivery companies are just plain greedy: I surmise it's their quest for "f u" money that kills their business model right off the bat.
It’s also a more complex and expensive. Swapping cellphone batteries means you need to own another battery which few people did once capacity increased. With cellphones people that want a swappable battery can just get an external battery pack but most people can simply recharge daily.
Florian Schneider has died
Also, they don't want to jeopardize their relationship with PC manufacturers that buy Windows, so they aren't going to make a modestly priced regular laptop that competes with their customers.
The legislation also covers things like sharing that Joe Bloggs living in Summerstone Drive, or the user with email address jennifer1983@gmail.com, is looking for a new car, even without advertising cookies. The GDPR would be necessary even if advertising cookies were not a thing.
100 trucks running right up next to each other is a train. I could imagine train operators converting their right of ways to a system where each train car can be autonomous and can leave the train and track without disruption. As the train comes by an exit location (station), the cars that need to get off just come out of the train and leave while the train tightens up again for aerodynamic efficiency and continues on without even slowing down.

These single tracks could even allow individuals to run their own single/double cars on them if the track was not to crowded and premium price was paid. With automatic vehicles, a reality on such controlled tracks today, our current infrastructure for transportation is definitely a failure compared to what it could be.
Seems similar to the way a programming language might handle errors. A function might handle these error cases, but if not it will bubble/throw it up to the parent for them to deal with it. In other words the function might be thinking; "I'm not smart enough to handle this..."

It would probably be a good idea to compose AI bots like this. Different levels of bots, each bubbling up questions they're not smart enough to answer to higher level bots...

This was tried by Motorola a while ago but it didn't really take off.
This is a very important detail, yeah.

For ML, 3D, games and what not is probably better to keep Linux in another kind of VM.
New: Lightweight Android Java Binder Hooking Lirbary
>> Unmatched Native Performance

> Can anyone offer any insight on this?

Unmatched doesn't mean good or bad, it just means it's not the same, and implies it's good.

If it were a real claim, they would have some numbers and an example of old vs new or new vs web or compare it to Android UI or something else known to be bad. And then we could pick apart the code examples and have a good time.
This is often said, but I am not so sure. Fast-charging takes somewhat longer than filling with gasoline/petrol, but I usually also want a bathroom and coffee break. I can easily do that while my car is charging. That is not really true while dispensing gasoline. It is not so obvious to me that I am losing out time-wise.

This is not idle speculation. I own an electric car. Furthermore, the vast majority of my charging occurs at home, over night. The total amount time I have saved by not having to visit gas stations for literally months is significant.
Oh boy we went down the "strawman" route. Enjoy!
Japanese Children Averting Their Eyes from Repulsive Things (1994)
The API is frozen, not the features and bug fixes. New APIs can be introduced (and are introduced) and bug fixes and features are added. As a very simple example, see how you can enter emojis in any unicode-aware Win32 input box application with Win+; even though this functionality was introduced in (IIRC) Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.
A car with a 40 mile range would be cheaper to buy, and a lot lighter so also more efficient. You could swap in a 400 mile battery when you actually need it.

That would create perverse incentives and make the web a worse place.

The point of the law is quite clear: allowing people to use the web without having anyone force them into giving away personal information.

Sure, some companies won't be able to be creepy to users, but that was an acceptable tradeoff to the law.
Trains are far more efficient, less subsidized, safer, less polluting...

https://grist.org/article/freight-trains-19th-century-techno...

Even if you electrify trucks the tire and brake wear and road degradation contribute an enormous amount of PM 2.5.

Sure you'll need trucks for the last mile but every ton of freight we can move to rails or waterways is a victory for humanity.
Semi trucks are cheaper because they receive a $125B+ yearly subsidy in the form of road maintenance. Semi trucks do 99% of the damage to our public roads, but only pay 35% of the cost.

I suspect that rail would be much more price competitive if we took that subsidy away.

You’re right about JIT, but we’re also seeing the downsides of JIT infrastructure during this pandemic. I suspect that we’ll see a push for more redundancy in our supply chain for reasons completely unrelated to trucks vs. trains.
Isn't that the definition of shortage? When we say there is a shortage of X, it means that there is X, but not enough of it to keep the prices at an affordable level, so the prices have risen and some people who need X, want X, and/or previously could afford X no longer can. This is true as long as there is a shortage, not an absolute lack of something.

I mean, famines happened because sometimes there would be a shortage of food, perhaps due to drought, or a sudden increase in population not matched by an increase in food production. Prices would go through the roof. Rich people could afford the new prices and persevered. Poor people died of hunger. But if the poor mustered enough gold, they could go buy food like rich people did.

So my question is, do you consider famines shortages? If not, what even is a shortage? In yes, how is labour shortage any different, except in scale?
Well if you want to see one way the battery swapping model can fail work, check out the book Totaled, which is about the Israeli EV startup Better Place that tried battery swapping before Tesla was a thing. Granted there were a lot of complicating factors that may not apply in the Tesla case (securing battery swapping locations in Israel came with specific challenges), but it may provide some insight.

My friend's approach wasn't legal either, so I was more asking about the technical possibility. I know Bluetooth is supposed to be more secure, but I have to wonder if random consumer electronics gear like a speaker really takes that seriously.
Yes, food was and is a major focus for Uber, it's part of their pitch for growth: they just don't do taxi/rideshare, they do deliveries one of the reasons they're valuation dwarfs Lyft.
Yeah it's complete bullshit. We're not serving notifications on our sites.
They are not mandatory, it's a choice by the site owner to include them. They are only mandatory if you include tracking features that track users across the web (= ads and Google analytics).

> If we end up with a treatment that swings infection fatality rate from 0.6% to 0.55% and reduces hospital stay time by 15%

Unsure about fatality (the data is a statistically insignificant trend), but the NIAID trial preliminary data points that remedesivir does cut recovery time by 30% (11 days vs 14 days) according to their interim report. I have to dig up the exact definition.

Yes, not HCQ, but data on drugs exist. Too bad it's probably one of the hardest to manufacture.
