The announcement says heavy duty vehicles must be zero-emission by 2045.

Saying there's lots of other work to do is not a good rationale for not doing this.
> The vast majority of programmers working on side projects are already established in the industry.

I strongly disagree. There are teenagers writing custom skin mods in Minecraft by Googling and copy/pasting. There are non-tech professionals making hello world android apps but are too novice or uninterested in getting a professional developer position. There are photographers who write plugins in Photoshop to create copies of their photos at various resolutions. You won't find any of them making github contributions but they're there.

And a lot of the skills you learn from side projects are internalized without being able to explicitly state it, like getting a feel for conventions in the framework or language you're using, or how much abstraction to use in your solution.
When developers get creative with fully custom GUI drawing then the user is often rewarded with dodgy text rendering.
I pray you’ll never need to display blocks of text, or do anything with text input. Font rendering and text editing are no joke, and browsers do it well with HTML + CSS.

Latency might be the biggest downside for your specific use case, but I’d urge anyone tempted to roll their own browser renderer to properly consider text-related concerns first.
First you need actual working carbon capture technology. Then you can estimate how much it costs.
Note that the mirai also needs the fuel cells, which adds another 70 kg, so the difference isn't as stark
You would've said the very same about solar, wind, & grid-scale battery storage even 5-10 years ago. The commitment to scale is what made the "old" technology economically feasible. Incremental advances also played a role. This same equation is playing out for nuclear, Alane, and others. It's a matter of commitment & will -- both of which are gaining momentum.
Takes a lot of courage to destroy other people's industries
Debt means very different things for the federal government than a personal checkbook. Debt doesn’t create resources or infrastructure from thin air, making it largely useless in an actual emergency. When we needed millions of N95 masks debt can’t simply conjure them from thin air, the same is true of oil or other critical resources.

All debt can do is force the next administration to pay for your spending. Politically it seems great, but economically it’s almost completely worthless. It’s just another political game where you say it’s meaningless when you’re running things and a critical issue when the other party is in charge.

A surplus is by far the more economically efficient option. Build strategic reserves when it’s cheap, and spend them when absolutely critical. But again spending when it’s not obvious you’re raising taxes is the crack cocaine for democracy’s.
> I thought the AWS console was bad but the Azure console takes the cake.

at the start of quarantine, the azure console was just dying on me regularly. we couldn't get the instances we needed, and apparently neither could the service running the console.
It looks like the closest they came to working with Mozilla was porting a simple game to Firefox OS. Getting attention at the time doesn't mean they spoke for anyone else. It sounds like you don't know how Mozilla employees felt.
I use it to archive complex web pages.
I probably could have been more clear. I'm not dismissing it at all. But, it sounds like pretty intrusive surgery, and likely very expensive. So, it has me curious how much better it might be in say, 5 years. I imagine it's a hard decision to participate as a patient in something like this.

MalwareBazaar allows users to share live samples of indicators and not just hashes/metadata associated with them which threat Intel platforms like AlienVault do. There are several differences between the two but the biggest advantage (along with providing the actual malware to you) for MalwareBazaar is that it’s higher fidelity - you will get far fewer false positives as the barrier to entry is much higher. Nobody is going to label 8.8.8.8 as malicious which happens occasionally in AlienVault. As such this isn’t really a service, it’s more a way for the more advanced threat Intel analysts and reverse engineers to share data.
Wales began his remarks stating, “I am grateful to be here today to testify about the potential for the Wikipedia model of collaboration and information sharing which may be helpful to government operations and homeland security.”

“At a time when the United States has been increasingly criticized around the world, I believe that Wikipedia is an incredible carrier of traditional American values of generosity, hard work, and freedom of speech,” Wales continued, implicitly referencing the George Bush administration’s military occupation of Iraq.

Ah yes, "libertarianism"

Then it explains the difference I've seen for a few weeks, thanks. It's not much different, mostly narrower.
I think this is a systemic issue on hackernews. People forgetting reality exists, and always pointing at the rules and acting as if they're infallible. You'd think /hackers/ would understand that rules are for show.

I've seen this regarding serious legislation like this or even something as mundane as Apple's app store "guidelines".
Depends on quite a bit more than the temperature. What about the cost? Max power handling? Maximum magnetic flux?

Sure if it's cheap you could do fun things like have a solar powered grid so what any sunny place on earth could provide power planet wide. Thus any natural peaks and valleys world wide would mostly average out. That way instead of designing your power grid for the worst case (something like sunset of the hottest day of the year) you can balance the northern hemisphere with the southern (with generally opposite weather).

It also could potentially make for "perfect" batteries, which could revolutionize various industries. Unfortunately zero resistance does not imply infinite power density.
I’d much rather snake a cable than need to go to a filling station for H2 every week.
You seem to be deliberately avoiding my point. The fact that some complicated models are wrong is irrelevant. The fact that you've worked with lots of complicated wrong models is irrelevant. The rational default assumption for a lay person, when the experts say that their complicated model agrees with the simplified model which can be explained to the lay person, is to tend to accept what those experts say. It makes no sense to go from "I understand the grade school science behind climate change" to "but those experts use complicated science, so they're probably wrong".
Flutter is basically this.
I respect your opinion but I do not think it reflects the majority of users in this initial group.

I think it is good Wikipedia was willing to test for the truth and be open to acknowledging it is not at its maximum potential for achieving its mission by sticking with the existing design.

I comment here because I also thought if Craigslist but for an opposing reason. I see Craigslist as neglectful in its refusal to perform public research on what it should change.

Not only in terms of design but also features such as validated identity.

There is a reason Craigslist usage has dwindled to other marketplaces, those with far less capitalistic and privacy-minded philosophies.

There is a price to pay for refusing to change. Craigslist is a slow moving, very public example of this.
That's correct. The index register is implicitly used by the CHIP-8 instructions Octo calls `sprite`, `bcd`, `load`, and `store`.
Cyan's Obduction was pretty good but had its flaws too.

I was just a kid when Myst was a hit, and never finished it. But I remembered being fascinated by the strange worlds to explore in that game and the uncanny mix of fantastic and realistic elements within them. Obduction definitely hit that same tone. I was absolutely thrilled with the exploration side of it and most of the puzzles were pretty enjoyable too. I enjoyed the unique look of each world so much that I was really disappointed when one turned out a bit boring -- though of course it makes sense in context.

However, like Myst, its open-world puzzle style gets frustrating when you run out of obvious paths and aren't sure what to do next, and end up running around everywhere trying to find something you haven't played with yet. That's a double-edged sword because the freedom and discovery is part of the appeal of those games, and I would never want them to remove it. But it does get annoying sometimes and I wish they would have considered that and chosen NOT to have areas to find with stuff that NEVER becomes useful. Especially when one of them has switches to flip (that don't affect any of the games actual puzzles). I wasted probably half an hour trying to find some purpose to the submarine cave and tiki bar while stuck, thinking they would provide a path through what was blocking me when in fact I needed to look elsewhere.

The other thing is that the load times in Obduction are a little long. That's annoying given how often navigating between worlds is required to complete a puzzle. This is probably getting better with faster and faster SSDs these days.

It was great overall though and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to fans of the genre.

I'll have to check out INFRA.
Marginalized people speaking up or protesting bothers people with authoritarian personality traits because those acts are interpreted as attacks upon rigid social hierarchy.

It doesn't really have anything to do with the content of BLM's message, but everything to do with who is saying it, how they're saying it, and to whom.
> , a researcher looking into COVID conspiracies can determine when the conspiracy began, who is leading the conversation, and which news stories, blog posts, and other links are appearing most frequently in the online conversation.

Considering what's been happening in Melbourne, where people are being arrested for suggesting a peaceful protest, i think software such as this will only help speed up the polarisation process. The end result will be more police leaning on the necks of people who are only "political" criminals.

I also noticed the word "disinformation" which in itself these days is rather politically polarising. What's wrong in the world where open and balanced conversation must not be allowed?
Having electric cars is just moving the pollution to another place, were the power is generated. Forests and trees are the filter of the planet, if you don't have enough the pollution stays no matter what.
Imo the only world in which hydrogen becomes a viable energy currency is one where there's vast amounts of highly centralized power generation, e.g. fusion (but possibly also off-planet generation) that needs to be effectively distributed to agents that can't be connected to the grid, like planes or to a lesser degree cars.
It's also prone to explode, and is a potent (indirect) greenhouse gas if it leaks into the atmosphere. Agreed that it will have some niche applications though. As well as the byproduct situation, there are likely situations where batteries wouldn't be feasible due to insufficient capacity or too great of weight. Aerospace maybe?
> More than three-quarters of IT executives worry that data sprawl puts their data at risk, especially with employees working from insecure home networks, survey finds.

I assumed that security-minded IT departments treated their networks as untrusted. I.e., that most of the security comes from secure hosts + secure point-to-point communications. And therefore running on a public or home network doesn't add much risk.
> when paragraphs are that wide they become harder to read

I hope I don't sound like a jerk saying this, but resizing the browser window is the key. I dunno why some people maximize everything on their computer - that's a really inefficient use of space.

I wish more websites wouldn't try to force formatting on me and just let me resize my window.
That revenue has nothing to do with business, it's virtually all a payment from google, plus a tiny marginal revenue (<15%) not sourced from google.

Well between a huge exodus of people leaving for other states[1], a 11% unemployment rate[2], non-stop protests/riots over the summer, there won't be much of California left. I moved out of San Jose/south bay area as I couldn't deal with trash overflowing into the freeways from thousands of homeless encampments[3], illegal fireworks every night for 2-3 months straight[4](sending my dog into extreme panic), packages being stolen off of our doorstep, public schools that were outright terrible all while every 3bdrm+ house is almost $1.5M or more. Forgot to mention the wildfires making the areas air toxic[5] and PG&E turning off power due to the wind[6]. I stayed in state however and will not be voting for any CA incumbents for obvious reasons.

I mostly wish Google would have of their web performance evangelists meet with the GCP team. It has some nice features but it's so slow with all of the background network activity (no progress indicators, naturally) and all of that JavaScript revs up my CPU fans more often than my compiler.
> I'll note though that the specific example of "文A" is, in fact, a text label.

Only in the sense that those glyphs are used in certain writing systems. It's not text in the more important sense of expressing a linguistic message. It's just random characters. "文A" is a text label to exactly the same degree that ":-)" is a text label.

Note in particular that the Chinese glyph does not translate as "language". That would be 语/語. As you accurately note, it translates as "writing".
But if you live outside PRC and USA, who is the most likely (however unlikely) to kick down your door? I'd wager that in most of the world that would be the FBI or CIA. Maybe I'm reading the wrong news sites because I live far from Asia but I have heard of lots of raids where the FBI were involved (Piratebay for example) or CIA (extraordinary rendition) but never heard of a single time Chinese police were operating in a foreign country. Maybe I'm wrong but in my understanding it happens weekly with the US and never with the PRC.
Depends which. An online trading platform? Possibly. But great for internal applications.

Plugging your car in overnight is a matter of course. You drive home and plug it in every day. It becomes muscle memory like anything else you do in life. You can rarely forget of course, but it's not like it's inconvenient. And for daily driving you can actually do many days of daily driving already without charging on standard electric vehicles today already, that'll have improved in 15 years as well.

In Tesla's new announcement the other day one of the other things they mentioned is like a 10x increase in battery charge times with the new cell design which will be ready in 3 years or so. So give it time.
He meant Linux/ARM64.
Everyone is hesitant to make change because "it's going to cause too much economic impact". If someone demonstrates that it's possible to change without screwing over their economy, it's likely other states and countries will follow.

Just because the USA has federal administration that doesn't want to act on climate change right now doesn't mean that it won't get a greener administration in the future.

As for being a lost cause, isn't it preferable to minimize the effect, at least? would you rather the sea levels go up by 2.0 meters or 1.5 meters?
I'm being very clear. A language with a big company behind it the likes of Google, Facebook, Microsoft etc. I have defined it two times now. That there are some vendors which make money with a language is very different.

Advertisement is a subset of marketing. Back in the day when Go was "new" You saw daily posts on many programmer focused communities about it. Google bankrolled the entire development of Go. Blogposts of many googlers talking about the language. Google sponsored Go events. The positive image of Google itself at the time of Go initial introduction.

You try to weasel me towards C# and Java when those are not two language I even have mentioned. But since you want to hear about. Yes both of these were also heavily marketed.
That's one hell of a story! Myself, I only got as far as implementing a CMS with a virtualized filesystem with symlinks (and I think it was even rudimentarily distributed); lots and lots of pointless wheel reinvention, but I've learned tons of stuff and ultimately managed to use it to skip a subject at university. What I didn't manage to do is to use it to build my website (ended up keeping my Wordpress blog, later replaced by a DIY static site generator).

I've seen you around here a lot and enjoyed your comments, but until now, I never realized you're the author of "Crafting Interpreters" and "Game Programming Patterns"! These are some of the best resources I've ever read on-line! Thank you for doing those!
A Volkswagen ID.3 costs 25% less than the cheapest Model 3, and has a little bit more range on the WLTP cycle.

You can't get the new e-up! yet, but it'll be half the price of the cheapest Model 3, with half the range.

You can get a Polestar 2 for as much as a Long Range Model 3, you'll only get 80% of the range of the Tesla, but you'll get an actual, good-looking, car.

Or you can get an Audi e-tron or Mercedes EQC for a bit more than a Model Y. They have less range and performance, but smoke the Model Y completely on everything else.

There's plenty of competition for Tesla in Europe, and their sales numbers also reflect that, they got 9% of the new BEV sales in Norway in August, for example. Yes, Tesla is the world leader when it comes to extracting range and performance out of their battery packs, but their competition is better at everything else, and different consumers like different things.
I have tried max line length readying on wikipedia and even speed reading apps (single lines flashing the whole text before your eyes).

I honestly like the current line length which scales with your monitor the best.
Just in time for the election. What a coincidence.

Strange how every "disinformation" tool or "fact checker" seems like tools of disinformation itself. Also, shouldn't mozilla be working towards becoming independent from google's cash for survival and building a better browser to gain market share? Seems like every time I hear of mozilla, it's for a social issue or political issue.

And why just social media? What about all the disinformation in traditional media? From the pro-trump and anti-trump press, the last four years have been entirely disinformation on both sides.

What about tech focuses on tech and stop playing politics? I guess it's too much to ask of anybody these days.
Nix for Frontend Developers
Even in rockets, where weight is extremely critical, SpaceX chose to use kerosene/methane due to the problems of working with LH2 (very low density, very cold temperatures, hydrogen embrittlement).

Depending on energy density and power density requirements, I think a combination of batteries and traditional fossil fuels will win in the short term. In the long term, when we have stopped burning fossil fuels for electricity, then we can use electricity to manufacture them. Under this path, hydrogen will have limited importance.
Ask HN: How to Predict Salary Growth as a Grad?
My question is: how can I, as a new software grad with a couple internships under my belt, predict my salary growth in the future?

I'm trying to determine what kind of lifestyle choices I'll need to make to save enough for retirement (ballpark, of course). And those choices will look different depending on if it takes me, for example, 10 years instead of 5 years to reach $100k/year.

Location is obviously a major feature, but in my location GlassDoor suggests between $55-65k(CAD)/year for positions a new grad could fill and more senior roles, like "Senior Application Architect", showing salaries closer to $125k/year(CAD). I haven't found much higher than $125k/year, though I'm sure they could exist.

This recruiting firm posts some salary distributions based on title (e.g. 25th precentile for "Web Developer" title) [0]. So maybe another way to ask the question - what resources exist to establish a reasonable timeframe in moving up a salary distribution?

This is quite dangerous unless you know what you’re doing, if you execute the malware then plan to throw away all equipment you’re using to analyze it. For a next-best experience, if you’re curious, you should upload one to an online malware sandbox e.g. app.any.run which allows you interact with it, look at network traffic, inspect file mods etc. - all the fun, much much less risk and hassle!

That argument seems to work both ways: if you have an index fund, juicing MSFT would be offset by the loss for the other ones since you own a fraction of all of the major players.
I worked on a project last year where we tried using Traefik on Kubernetes together with Let's Encrypt certs. It worked... sometimes.

We had significant issues with Traefik not allocating or renewing certs, resulting in some painful outages. The worst part was that there was no workaround; when adding a new domain to an ingress, it was completely incomprehensible why Traefik wasn't requesting a cert, or indeed why it wasn't renewing older ones that were close to expiration. We filed GitHub issues with concrete errors, but they were never addressed. At the time, I tried to debug Traefik to understand how it worked and maybe chase down some of those bugs. I don't like to speak ill of other people's code — let's just say that peeking under the covers made me realize perfectly why Traefik was so brittle and buggy.

We eventually ditched Traefik in favour of Google Load Balancer ingresses, combined with Cert-Manager for Let's Encrypt, and this combination worked flawlessly out of the box despite not being a 1.0 release at the time. The beauty of this setup is that the control plane (cert and ingress configuration) is kept separate from the data plane (web server), so the two can be maintained and upgraded/replaced separately.
Something like this will probably pass eventually because there is bipartisan support. Biden said in January that he thinks that Section 230 should be "revoked... immediately.”
I honestly think they were exploring replacing the desktop version with mobile at some point and used desktop m. removal as a gauge of aversion to the change.
