Which is odd! Tesla has covered most of Europe with Superchargers, and supports 250kw charge rates in many locations. Curious why other automakers don’t support higher charge rates.

Have you shown a “getting started with makefiles” guide to a team member who is brought in to help with documentation or accessibility or pretty much anything other than development? It is cryptic in the true sense of the word.

And yet, ok files are not a competitor to makefiles. Use both together.
Paradoxically, driver issues and update issues never show up on any desktops I had, they only show up on laptops with carefully selected and entirely manufacturer-controlled supply chain and parts.
> But who should determine who draws electoral lines? Right now, it's in the hands of elected officials, so you can at least vote them out if they gerrymander.

No you (practically) cannot, that's kinda the point
Even the racial disenfranchisement line has been significantly weakened - there have been cases going up with clearly racially biased districts but so long as there is some other property the districts could have been gerrymandered based on (i.e. "Urbaness") then the courts have let it through.

Right now, anything goes (and the fact that gerrymandering with the explicit intention of entrenching a political party isn't illegal is bonkers).

What makes me uneasy about Cloudflare's registrar service is they force the use of Cloudflare's nameservers unless you have an "Enterprise" plan (paying a monthly fee for what amounts for some registry EPP calls?!) and given how they sell at cost I can't imagine the customer support in case of similar issues to this being good.
Are electric cats more likely to "self ignite" then other cars?
I doubt it.
Just to clarify, I was referring to nationwide/major stations. I don’t have any comment on local. I would imagine the bias (or non) would be based upon that social demographic area ( southern Calif is more left compared to South Dakota which is more right)
I used Workman for a year back in 2013. I even submitted it for inclusion into the Xorg project (perhaps a little prematurely). https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56998

Overall the layout felt great and relieved a lot of pain. I have two issues with it. The first one is that vim keybindings are terrible. This could easily be fixed by remapping keys in vim. The second issue is typing PO and OP sequences. This wasn't really noticeable until I hit around 60-70 wpm, then it stuck out like a sore thumb. If you don't typically type faster than that, this probably isn't an issue.

I have also typed Colemak and Dvorak (current layout) at a high level. Colemak was the the most painful for me as my index fingers just felt overloaded all the time. Dvorak was also a little painful on the right pinky until it got stronger. Dvorak was also the hardest of the three layouts to get used to.

All three are way better than Qwerty when it comes to typing comfort.
But that seems like just ignoring the problem, like an ostrich shoving one’s head into the sand!

> Have you ever examined a protobuf file without knowing what the protobuf structure is?

Are you referring to an ASCII serialization or a binary serialization?

In a typical scenario, your application needed structured data (hence protobuf), and then you serialized your protobuf into an ASCII bytestream... so how are you ever worse off with a protobuf compared to a text file, provided you make a good choice of serialization scheme? Clearly text files cannot carry enough structure, so we have to build more layers of scaffolding on top?

Ultimately files are serialized on to disk as bits, and “ASCII” and “posix” are just “plugins” to be used when reading bitstreams (serialized file objects). Plaintext is not readable if the bits get corrupted or byte boundaries/endianness gets shifted!

To have the same amount of of robustness with higher-order structures I imagine all one needs is a well-defined de/serialization protocol which would allow you to load new objects into memory? Am I missing something?

Since no one else has gone there, does this qualify as "book burning"?
Wouldn't doing that imply we expect police officers to behave the exact way they're behaving now? How does that help?

Isn't it better to expect police officers to provide an actual benefit to society, and construct laws from that point of view?
I don't think it should be registrar's duty to shut domains down.

Gitbook appears to use CloudFlare to host DNS, and likely to use their CDN/proxy, which makes them the actual "host" of the content. If there is any phishing, they should be the ones responsible.

The post says even their email was down. I'm deciding to not use Google Domains anymore.

Elon is right it is insane. We do not want monopolies. And especially monopolies on information, books.

I believe Dovecot can be configured not to even advertise AUTH capability until after you've upgraded to TLS capability. Does anyone know if that would stop this problem?

Saying that, someone with MITM capability could just modify the response and advertise auth pre-tls, so it probably wouldn't help.

I'm getting tired of the union rep who always comes out and throws gasoline around over their non-stop political fight with the mayor. He never has anything constructive to say.

There is a real problem when the second largest police force on the planet can't get its employees to stand up and do the job they signed up for. Strategically abandoning their duty so as to win political points is a disgrace.
Alternatively district abolishment and proportional distribution of delegates would also pretty much resolve it - even with a mixed geographic and proportional system where some delegates do have specific areas and others are floating delegates that are used to balance out proportions while allowing local districts to chose an advocate specifically for them.
I don't know, I went from being an extreme pessimist to somewhat of an optimist around this pandemic's effect on the economy. One of the first positive points is the covid-19 death rate, during Feb/March it was quoted as being 4-6% which was terrifying. Very quietly the CDC has mentioned it now thinks it is around (0.8% to 0.26%)[1] (it is impossible to know the exact number but given S. Korea's numbers this seems reasonable). There are talks of a vaccine that could arrive around the September/October 2020 time frame by astrazeneca (provided results of testing are positive)[2]. Lastly, a treatment has been found in remedivsar [3] (although not extremely effective it is found to have some efficacy). Once a vaccine arrives expect a wave of shopping/travel the likes of the world has never seen being a majority of the people have been locked down for almost a year which would revive a frozen travel industry. What is still concerning is small mom-pop businesses closing and never reopening, Just remember 6 trillion was created out of thin air to alleviate the effects of this pandemic in the US [4]

Are you a bot? Where do you find those stupid words? No wonder you're attracted to useless positions for status.
Got it, so you're proposing electoral lines by drawn by algorithms?

I don't see any problems with this myself, as long as the algorithms are fair -- what are some downsides of this, though?
It seems an odd, self-defeating choice, for police to attack journalists who are documenting a protest against police brutality, doesn't it?

It makes you wonder, if they are so willing to attack someone who is obviously broadcasting the attack, with clearly marked "Press" identification, how they are likely to act when there is less scrutiny...
The problem there is mostly state law, which this wouldn't affect.
> Unless the BBC is grossly misrepresenting the statements

That story ran six weeks ago, and there's been no corroboration of that "policy" by any other source in any other media. It's all a bunch of huffing about this one out-of-context, apparently off-the-cuff (quote. So yeah, I think that's pretty much the definition of "grossly misrepresented".
I wanna say, "There we go," but this is slightly different. Not so much that one failure unexpectedly causes total collapse down the line, more so that a catastrophic failure of important components (which obviously are going to cause a system collapse to anyone who knows what happened) happens in a system so large that other portions of that doomed system are not even aware.
> There never was a policy about the WHO.

Not quite. Before there's more back and forth about some interview and what that meant, let's quote the actual policy, and focus the discussion on that?

I agree that environmental protection is a top priority, but I think it will be overall better for the environment if we accept the reality of having a little visible infrastructure/manufacturing in our collective faces. If anything, visibility should drive us to develop cleaner alternatives instead of the current reality where things like the Foxconn iPhone factory suicide netting is a funny joke to many of us. I believe the move away from domestic manufacturing created an even bigger climate problem from the thousands and thousands of ships and planes carrying materials across the planet for assembly, carrying them back for sale, and spewing unchecked amounts of pollution the entire way.

The offshoring of US manufacturing jobs also disproportionately hurt Black Americans and others who were once able to use those jobs as an accessible path to a middle-class life: https://equitablegrowth.org/african-american-workers-are-hur...

This takes me back, as the gameplay is almost exactly the same as the game for the Psion Organiser II (which had a 2 line screen) which you had to laboriously key in from the back of the manual. Except in that one, IIRC (err, 30 years ago) you could choose when to move back from the top line, and the missiles gradually came faster and faster.
I don't read this comment as "what about the US?" I understand whataboutism to be bad because it turns things into a competition and diminishes the problems under discussion.

I read that comment as "there are scary parallels here today." To me, it makes Tienanmen square more real and less other.

It's almost as if, while the laws and policies and regulations are supposed to be the same for all, giant entities with huge amounts of money and power behind them are held to a different standard than everyone else. I can't say I'm surprised.

The U.S. Federal government is not a direct democracy, it is a federal republic directed by representatives of states.
If you have a fine idea for a law at this scale, and you want democracy, you have it within your state.

For example, California passes all sorts of interesting environmental regulations; and the states regularly weigh on their neighbours and tributaries to have similar laws.

> abolish the EC ... to start with

No, abolishing the Electoral College will not fix anything unless you think average urban Americans care even one bit about the natural wonder of the country, or have any restraint toward the rural minority.
Who says we have to draw electoral lines at all?

Proportional representation of house members per state is one option. Which would be completely constitutional, btw.
I usually find immutability to be more important than this particular detail. Because of this my preference is usually Elixir/Erlang, followed closely by Clojure (for the potential interop with a huge ecosystem), with languages like Go and Java fairly close to eachother but pretty far down list.

I would love it if Clojure on BEAM were more mainstream.

> The order will waive several long-standing environmental laws

Is it possible for an executive order to "waive laws"? I thought laws take precedence over executive orders. If this were possible, then the President could waive all the laws he didn't like, and have more power than a king.

I'd be grateful if someone who understands thew law better than I do could give some color here.

Curves are exponential until they aren't. In most states, hospitals were never anywhere near being "overwhelmed", quite the opposite in fact. In my county (Santa Clara, CA), there are under 5% hospital beds occupied by Covid patients.
You are right on this point. However, everything is so politicized that you aren’t allowed to be leaning in any direction. You are force to choose..which is ridiculous. To give an example, why is it unacceptable to many on HN to like policies from both Obama and Trump? Having been on here for a while, you will get applauded for 1 and spit at for the other.

I'm in this boat too. If you look at lot of the Scala talks from 5-8 years ago it talks a lot about why Scala is better than Java, but since then Java has copied a bunch. Now Kotlin is taking over and Scala seems like yesterday's language. I've heard its really slow to compile too which makes it frustrating.
I would prefer to see all familial wealth that was at all tainted by conflicts of interest during the course of the administration be seized and the proceeds going to fund national voting by mail.

I agree, I wouldn’t suggest Clojure for a large company with lots of junior developers.

I wouldn’t suggest Java either, though. Go would be a better fit for that situation these days.

I look at Clojure and Go as different sides of a coin.

One is a powerful language the let’s a small team of experienced developers get a lot done with a small amount of code.

The other is a simple language that lets a lot of less experienced developers get a lot done with a lot of code.

I want to stress in this comparison though, that I don’t view one as better than the other.

Go was designed for development at scale, where you have lots of developers, all at different levels, all needing to contribute large amounts of code. In this respect, it does a great job at removing most of the rope that people can use to hang themselves. If I needed to pick one language to use at a large enterprise, it would probably be Go.

Clojure gives you a (different) set of limited functionality, but what it gives you is very powerful, and very foreign to most developers, so you can definitely hang yourself trying to force everyone into using it. If I got to choose one language for myself to use, it would be Clojure.
Can those kinds of environmental issues be fixed later, or are they generally unrecoverable? It may be worth some number of fixable environmental issues to recover from the pandemic faster.
Experts Rate the Risks of 14 Summer Activities for Covid-19
People struggle so much with this, but I don't see what the point is at all. The fundamental problem that playing with delimiters solves, is passing arbitrary strings through as single tokens.

Well, that's easy. Don't escape or quote the strings; encode them. Turn them into opaque tokens, and then do Unix things to the opaque tokens, before finally decoding them back to being strings.

There's a reason od(1) is in coreutils. It's a Unix fundamental when working with arbitrary data. Hex and base64 are your friends (and Unix tools are happy to deal with both.)

You're interpreting the statement as being about wealth. I'd rather interpret it as being about influence and Murdoch has held more political influence than Zuckerberg and probably still does.
I believe the specific issue at play was not the claims about voter fraud, but the misleading representations about who will recieve a mail in ballot in California (specifically an implied assertion that you don't need to register to vote to recieve a mail in ballot in California)

The later goes against the specific rules in Twitter's "civic integrity policy" that try to prevent to use of Twitter to spread misinformation that can result in voter suppression.

You can say falsely say election was rigged but you cannot falsely say that a poling location was closed (at least on Twitter).
I'm trying to unpack what you're saying here because it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. You think we should roll back environmental protections so that the negative effects of manufacturing are more in peoples faces so that they care more with an end goal of... putting those same protections back I assume?
If these books have APL adjustable rank ⍤ used on the `for` function, we can make many more combinations:

"J for⍤0 0⊢ C Programmers" ≢ J for C programmers.

"J for⍤1 0⊢ C Programmers" ≢ J++ for C programmers.

"J for⍤0 1⊢ C Programmers" ≢ J for C++ programmers.

"J for⍤1 2⊢ C Programmers" ≢ J++ for C# programmers.

"J for⍤2 2⊢ C Programmers" ≢ J# for C# programmers.

etc. Then with `commute` ⍨ we can swap the argument order as well:

"J for⍨⍤1 0⊢ C Programmers" ≢ C++ for J programmers.

etc.

(Assuming C has a single implicit plus, C++ is a 1D array of plusses, C# has a 2D matrix of plusses)
> It seems to me that the field contributes nothing to society, and has only negative externalities like raising barriers of entry to markets and using insane amount of resources.

I thought the same way for a long time.

HFT helps make markets more liquid and (somewhat) may aid price discovery.

Now, assuming you buy that, the standard response is “sure, but how does pouring all these resources into shaving picoseconds off of a transaction help the world?” Fair point.

In my mind, the markets are really just a giant computer running a resource optimization problem whose inputs change constantly. Improving the latency of getting a result back can open up completely new applications.

This is a bit hazy, but think of what is possible with todays computers versus those of fifty years ago. Both can perform the same calculations, one is just faster, yet just making calculations faster has changed the world.

HFT means speeding up the computations for the allocations of resources for the entire world. This is a really important set of calculations- it affects, indirectly, almost every human on the planet. Making this faster by just a tiny fraction can make it more efficient and when that efficiency is multiplied by the trillions of dollars involved, that can mean huge savings for humanity as a whole.

You really shouldn't be using Texas as an example, because Texas is a prime example of how the bulk of the new cases are shifting to states and countries that didn't originally rank at the top.

People are having discussions and making pronouncements as though the epidemic is over, or at least no longer rapidly evolving and can be judged in retrospect.

States that had more new cases the other day than NY or NJ:

California, Texas, North Carolina, Illinois, Arizona...

There are about fifty countries with more new cases recently than Italy. Do you think those countries are all really cold or something?
that's a problem.

Especially in times like these, we should be trying to find common ground with one another, not putting up walls and saying "you aren't allowed to think you understand what I feel" or "your problems are insignificant because mine are worse".
> NYPD polls well

This is one of the first things criminal reform advocates in New York are taught. The police is well-funded and powerful and strong because it's popularly supported, and the political class knows that.

And no amount of protesting is likely to change that. Not in the near term. This is why "f* the police" styled slogans are discouraged. They alienate the only responsive audience: reasonable New Yorkers, who [EDIT: by virtue of most New Yorkers supporting the NYPD] likely support the NYPD in general, and have simply not prioritized your reform policy as a talking point with their friends and elected.
Smartphones feel like an example of where we have really gone backwards. Ten years ago you could get a Nokia N900 with its hardware keyboard, and it was entirely comfortable to check my e-mail by SSHing from the N900 to my home computer which was running Emacs server and to which my e-mail was downloaded (as POP3, so no hanging like IMAP).
