They need to be engineered to last for a long time between maintenance, be able to withstand the elements (saltwater, sunlight), and it's critical that the unit functions when you need it. The units are built very tough - mine is waterproof and also floats. The unit has test functions for the GPS and radio, and it has to work for 30+ hours continuously after it's been activated.

These things are also regulated by the government and need to meet certain standards.
It's true that HyperCard and the Web aren't exactly the same in all respects, but that's orthogonal to the fact that the Web drew direct inspiration from HyperCard (like, documented, on record, the inventors of Web browsers and HTTP saying as much).

No, it's $25 parts savings for the wiper switch, some additional savings for the simplified steering column, an additional $100 parts savings for not having an instrument cluster (speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, etc.), additional savings for not having climate control hard buttons, and then at least $50 in labor and wiring savings due to the simplified installation.

And to your other comment, please look up bulk touchscreen panel prices on Alibaba. They are far cheaper than you seem to think, especially since the majority of the computing power is in a separate module. The model 3 uses the LG LA154WU1-SL01 panel. It is not expensive (under $300 in bulk) and continues to get cheaper.

This is well done and good that there's some competition to Roam! However there's a trust issue when using these note taking apps in the cloud. I wouldn't want to write my diaries an non-e2e app like RoamResearch or Yarc (but I guess you can host Yarc yourself?)

I myself found this VSCode extension Memo (https://github.com/svsool/vscode-memo) that I use to edit all my notes. I don't think it supports bidirectional links in the form of backlinks yet, but I'm not sure (I'm not the author). However it's been a breeze to use and I recommend it. For e2e I have a git precommit that creates a tar archive out of them, gpg encrypts it and then pushes the encrypted file to my github repo.
Agreed 100%, for anybody who has to use a Linux CLI with any regularity.

You don't need to be a vi/vim wizard, but you should at least be able to use it a little bit. Vi is the one editor that's guaranteed to be available basically anywhere.

For working on a complex file (local to my workstation), I almost always prefer Geany or maybe VSCode (depending on the scope of the project). But I'm also semi-decent with vi, and it's saved me a lot of times on embedded systems where I need to log in via serial-console and edit some files.

It's also just faster/easier for editing the odd config-file here or there on a system that I'm logged into. Sure, I could launch a GUI and browse to it (for a local file), or maybe edit with a GUI over SSHFS or something. But if it's a small change? Vim is killer.

Maybe Emacs is better for CLI use, I'm not sure one way or the other. But it's definitely got a much smaller install-base than Vim. And proper-noun Vim has a _much_ smaller install-base than vi-compatible things generally (vim, busybox vi, etc).

Reddit made /r/ShockwavePorn a trending subreddit for Today
This intuitively is exactly what I thought was (should be) the answer, after spending some thought on it.

But is it documented anywhere? One of the Rails 6 bounties is for multiple database configurations to be made clear, IOW in configurations involving a partitioned database cluster, or a cluster with separate main and secondary streaming replicas for read and write locking separately; those configurations are all being made clearer in the latest Rails guides, as I understand it. There were always people that knew the right way to do it, but there was no one blessed right way to do it.

This seems like it belongs in the rails guides as a regular part of the instruction manual. Then again .env support itself is still separately provided by add-on gems, so maybe not. (Thanks for sharing!)

Hi, this is really well presented. Congratulations. I'm working on something kinda similar myself. It seems to be a popular niche.

Congratulations again.

Do you have any idea how annoying it is to get logged garbage when starting something on the command line (looking at you IntelliJ)?

I once spent several weeks hunting through Hadoop stack traces for a null pointer exception that was being thrown in a log function. If the logging wasn’t being done in production, I wouldn’t have wasted my life and could have been doing useful things. Sadly, shutting down the cluster to patch it wasn’t an option, so I had to work around it by calling something unrelated to ensure the variable wasn’t null when it did log.
Look into Brave, then. The ads are less annoying, do not invade your privacy and you can contribute anonymously to any site that is a registered publisher or content creator. They will certainly make more money from you if you do that instead of going through all of the middlemen involved in ad-tech.

Also important: start asking websites that need to take payment to provide a cryptocurrency alternative. Something based on Ethereum blockchain preferably, given that is possible to easily get stable-tokens (meaning, no volatity risk) and that is on its way to get rid of Proof-of-Work.

The ad-based economy needs to die and we already have the tools to kill it. All we need now is to stop with the excuses and take action.

As a young(er) gen Z dude, I have no clue.
The US federal government is making poor choices in monetary policy - it's "fixing" the covid problem by printing US money, which, until now, was the new gold standard. As result, people are going back to an old, albeit, archaic gold standard. If the US government could have fixed covid with a real solution, we would not be observing extremely retarded stuff like people investing in gold. Sigh.
If I'm reading it right, the Texas City disaster had 2300 tons on the Grandcamp, and 961 tons on a nearby ship, the High Flyer. That second ship exploded later in the day. There was also a chemical plant that was caught in the blast and a warehouse with fertilizer.

Yes, absolutely, to some degree — do you think I'm not? Even if you don't think so, do you think Apple isn't to some degree responsible for the working conditions of nearly a million employees within the company that it knowingly contracts out to to produce about 200 million iPhones a year?

Your original comment perplexed me as someone who is familiar with both regions. I agree that they are dissimilar but I definitely don't think they are "as far as you can get ... culturally." Happy to get back to that original subject if you are.

Update on extended work from home for Slack employees
Decades ago working in a sysadmin role at a hosting company I had a similar situation.

The solution I came up with was to fashion a custom male<->male power cord, like a gender changer, from some broken ATX PSU scraps we had laying around. By rearranging the power sockets from multiple donors, two male power cords could be connected on a single enclosure. Internally the sockets were simply bridged, otherwise the PSU was basically gutted.

With this goofy metal box having two male power cords dangling from it in hand, I just used a very long extension cord plugged into an outlet on the same AC phase as the existing server's power source. The extension cord powered one of the bridge cords. The other bridge cord plugged into the server's existing - and hot - power strip, forming a redundant power source. Now the power strip could be unplugged from the primary power source without losing power, and we just moved the server to the new location with the bridge box and power strip in tow.

If memory serves the only tricky part was determining which outlet at the new home was on a compatible circuit. We didn't have much in the way of electronics tools, no oscilloscopes or anything. Even the soldering involved to make the bridge box was done using my personal soldering iron, which just happened to be in the office because some of us raced RC cars there after hours.

I think I just used an incandescent desk lamp to verify a normal brightness on the bridged circuit before proceeding with the server, but it's been a while.

I wonder how many people have fashioned AC power cord gender changers throughout history... :)

The history of paper and leather money is that it was originally considered receipts for the storage of precious metals like gold. In fact this was the case in the US until the 1970s. I'm not a gold bug suggesting a return to the gold standard, just pointing out that the concept of money, value, storage and ownership can shift and be redefined over time.

Vim bindings also feel like they have accumulated 40 years of cruft and evolved into some severely localized maxima. I'd be really interested in other attempts to do modal editing. Are there other attempts out there?

Absolutely. A state is protocol, ports, addresses, timers, counters and more. QoS/DSCP, firewall marks and other things add to the fun.

There was also one that would use the motion detector to try to detect if the device was falling, and park the hard drive heads before impact.

Microsoft President: Why We Need a Hippocratic Oath for Software Engineers
Not surprising. The money supply has increased sharply: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M2
I'd like to see all phones and phone towers fitted with an emergency ping ability and an emergency ping protocol, since almost everyone carries a phone these days.

If you needed help, you'd enter a text describing your situation (a default text would be used if you could only click a "HELP!" button), put the phone in a special mode that would shut everything down to conserve battery power but would send out a stronger-than-usual radio "ping" every 60 seconds or so (depending on battery). To save energy, the ping would not include the text. The repeated pings would be optimized to just shout into the ether, to get attention from the greatest distance possible.

Any receiver would recognize that it was an emergency ping and could respond with a protocol response ping that requested more info. The response would be sent at a predefined time delay and frequency that would be determined by the outgoing request ping that had been received so the phone would only have to listen to one frequency and for a brief time to save battery. The phone could rotate its outgoing pings to different frequencies but would always know when and at what frequency to listen for a response based on the outgoing ping it sent.

When it got a response from a tower, and only at that point, the phone would expend extra energy to transmit its location, the text, battery status, etc.

Based on various factors, the tower would schedule future transmissions and automate most of the data exchange to conserve the phone's power, would notify responders, and would tell the phone to notify its owner that help was being sent.

You could then put this emergency ping protocol into search and rescue aircraft and drones with mesh network abilities.
Complaining about "the ever-growing list of regulatory failures, moral failures and outright abuses pushed in the guise of scientific expertise" does not read to me as dismissing the core scientific community itself.

Plus, one could easily distinguish between the terms "establishment"/"hierarchical structures" as entrenched leadership focused on power dynamics rather than the science itself, versus "community" which is involved in the science.
Five Things to Keep in Mind When Going Virtual with Your Event
Hey, thank you! Not to discourage you or anything but monetizing with affiliate book sales is a loong long way to replace a full time job. This post got to the HN front page (first time for me) and I'd be happy to make $15-30 today.. and this is the best day with thousands of visits. I started and continue working on this because it's a passion. I love books and I love seeing people buy books because of something I made. Good luck!

Another important point is that it can be blended.

Also, to add to the jewelry point, humanity has a nearly unlimited desire for luxury and will always seek out status, which is why so many thousands of years later humanity still has such an immense desire for gold jewelry when we very obviously don't need it. Status seeking is not going away.

The continued expansion of human population, rising living standards and finite quantity of gold, ensures it will grow more scarce per capita (driving up its perceived value persistently).

At the median our soon to be eight billion people will have a higher standard of living than when we had only one billion people. There isn't nearly enough gold to match that extraordinary change.
Implementing a «Four in a Row» Board in Haskell
How useful is this? Not much that these things have in common beyond "results cited a lot".

Can't say that the subjects are chosen very precisely either -- the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra isn't actually a theorem of algebra; Tychonoff's theorem is fundamental only to the set-theoretical part of topology; the Fundamental Theorem of Counting is just a particular case of the "Fubini" interchange-of-summations formula, which I would call the real fundamental theorem of counting. The number of platonic solids is mostly a curiosity from a modern perspective; so are the transcendences of pi and e.

Also, the word "extended" in the Number systems section needs to be taken with some artistic license; the "extension" introduces new symbols (negatives) and new relations that can occasionally render some old elements identical (in the worst case, the whole monoid can collapse to a point). The most famous example of this is what happens if you divide by 0 (= extend the multiplicative monoid of real numbers to a group). This is not something the author should be blamed for; it's the only real error I've spotted at a quick skim, and it's rare for a collection as diverse as this to have this few errors. The real problem is: what's the point of such a survey if pretty much any of the results is given so little time and space that only those who already know it can understand it from the description?
> Because every editor worth its salt has an option to use vim keybindings.

Including the Unix shell line editor, which typically supports both vi and emacs key bindings, and nothing else. Yet for some reason the default always seems to be emacs rather than vi, even on BSD (e.g. OpenBSD), and even though POSIX only mandates vi mode because "[t]he author of emacs requested that the POSIX emacs mode either be deleted or have a significant number of unspecified conditions."[1] Emacs line editing mode is more confusing for me as I use Joe (WordStar clone) which has emacs-like key combinations but with slightly different assignments. And because of this default I've never made a habit of using line editing commands; there's no way I can unlearn my Joe muscle memory, and over the years I've gotten into the habit of avoiding shell personalizations, to my detriment in this case.

Seems like a typical mistake for automated systems. Not sure of how to fix, not sure how Apple could manage 2+ million apps and hundreds of thousands of developers without them.

To Apples credit, they reversed their mistake in a few hours. That’s lightning quick for mistakes of this magnitude, and so maybe the answer is properly staffing with live support personnel to handle customer issues with your automated systems.

I feel as if this is something Google and Amazon could really do better. Their automation is excellent, but when you encounter an edge case it seems impossible to reach an actual human being. They have horror stories with infinitely worse outcomes than this one, actual developers or merchants out of business for weeks or months with no explanation or recourse.

I'd also recommend Neovim[0], a community-led fork of Vim. One of the focuses of Neovim is exposing an API that lets other apps embed a headless instance in their UIs. This lets you use your Neovim editor along with all its configuration and plugins inside other apps! I've never been satisfied with any of the available vim emulator plugins out there for VSCode, IntelliJ, etc. (there's always something missing!), so this feature has been really valuable to me if I need a better debugging experience but want to use nvim as much as possible.

Someone's already made plugins that embed a Neovim instance right inside VSCode[1] and Sublime Text[2]. There's no emulation here, just straight up neovim running behind those buffers. I've tried VSCode with that plugin (though personally I like to stick to just neovim when I can), and I can say that despite some minor bugs it's been a pretty smooth experience. Even stuff like `gt` to change editor tabs is supported.
